Chapter 14 Don't go back tonight.
If Jiang Ning had previously considered getting into Lu Junyan's car due to her current situation, now, after hearing Chu Qingxue's words, she only wanted these two people to disappear from her sight as soon as possible.
"No need, I can walk by myself."
Seeing Jiang Ning refuse, Lu Junyan glanced down at Jiang Ning's bleeding knee and said indifferently, "Whatever."
His thin body trembled slightly in the downpour.
"Junyan, are you really going to abandon Jiangning? She's soaked to the bone." Chu Qingxue asked as she took the opportunity to place her hand on Lu Junyan's thigh.
“She refused to get in the car herself.” After saying that, Lu Junyan said to Xiao Zhang, who was driving, “Let’s go, don’t delay Qingxue’s matter.”
A bolt of lightning cleaved the sky.
The black Maybach drove out of Jiangning's sight, and then a thunderclap exploded in his ears.
Jiang Ning curled up and squatted down by the roadside, unable to tell whether the pain was more from her physical injuries or her heart.
She took out her phone and called the police first, then she called Gu Lanlan.
The most fortunate thing at this moment was that she still had her phone; otherwise, she really wouldn't know what to do.
Jiang Ning thought that Gu Lanlan would be the first to arrive, but instead, it was an ambulance.
The red and blue warning lights remain conspicuous even during thunderstorms.
"But I didn't call an ambulance!"
Jiang Ning muttered to herself, thinking that it was probably Gu Lanlan who called for her!
As the rain intensified, the windshield wipers on the black Maybach sped up.
In the back seat of the car, Chu Qingxue and Lu Junyan were both scrolling through their phones.
Chu Qingxue: What did you do? She's perfectly fine. Forget about being stripped naked and paraded through the streets, those people didn't even get to take advantage of her, did they?
Joker: She knows Sanda (Chinese kickboxing) and is quite skilled, so she managed to escape.
Chu Qingxue clicked her tongue inwardly, quickly deleted the conversation, and immediately pressed the screen-off button when Lu Junyan looked in her direction.
"I wonder if I can find new design inspiration at the Pilas Sophie exhibition," Chu Qingxue asked Lu Junyan sweetly.
“Your words are definitely correct.” Lu Junyan’s voice was flat, but he was clearly encouraging Chu Qingxue. “However… didn’t you say you wanted to go back to the juvenile detention center by taking this route?”
"Ah, yes!" Chu Qingxue's smile was a little unnatural. "After all, the juvenile detention center is where our relationship began! It's just that the meeting with Bila Sophie is about to start... Actually, if we hadn't met Jiang Ning, we wouldn't have wasted so much time."
“Yes, it’s all her fault.” Lu Junyan followed Chu Qingxue’s words, always seeming so indifferent when mentioning Jiang Ning, but Chu Qingxue didn’t see any blame on Lu Junyan’s face.
The Third Hospital of City A.
After being brought here by ambulance, Jiang Ning was forced to cooperate with the doctors for a very comprehensive examination.
She felt that her injuries were not serious, mostly superficial, and that the psychological shock and trauma she experienced were far greater than the physical ones.
In fact, Jiang Ning didn't quite understand why the doctor was so concerned about her health. After the examination, the doctor arranged a first-class ward for her to rest and receive intravenous fluids.
Gu Lanlan arrived late because the roads were really difficult to travel on due to the thunderstorm, and she even received two parking tickets.
Seeing Jiang Ning lying on the hospital bed with a pale face, wearing a hospital gown and receiving an IV drip, and coughing from time to time, Gu Lanlan's eyes immediately turned red.
“Ah Ning…”
Upon seeing that Gu Lanlan was about to cry, Jiang Ning quickly explained that he was fine.
He briefly recounted his ordeal to Gu Lanlan, who immediately jumped up in anger.
"It must be that scheming mistress! She must have hired those thugs to molest you!"
Jiang Ning shushed Gu Lanlan and smiled wryly, "How do you know? You have no proof."
“I just know it.” Gu Lanlan patted her chest and assured her, “I’m telling you that’s how it’s written in novels. That’s what you call fiction reflecting reality.”
Jiang Ning didn't deny Gu Lanlan's guess, but Zhang Hai and his group had a history of harassing female instructors, and she had also offended Zhang Hai and his group because of Ning Junzhe, so it was hard to say whether this matter was related to Chu Qingxue.
Jiang Ning was just surprised that she happened to run into Lu Junyan and Chu Qingxue when she was at her most miserable. Was it really such a coincidence?
"That Lu Junyan is such a scumbag!" Gu Lanlan gritted her teeth. "You're injured like this and he still has the nerve to drive away?! And he even took that green tea bitch with him... The marriage isn't over, but he's cheating on you. Do you think he might be schizophrenic?"
Gu Lanlan's analysis of Lu Junyan made Jiang Ning smile wryly.
If Jiang Ning were to compare the young Lu Junyan from his memories of the juvenile detention center with the current Lu Junyan, he would have to agree with Gu Lanlan's words.
"Don't be upset if I scold him!"
Jiang Ning sighed, realizing that Gu Lanlan was still considerate of her feelings.
“I’m going to divorce him anyway, and I won’t side with him anymore.”
"You?" Gu Lanlan glanced at Jiang Ning and shook her head. "That's hard to say."
Jiang Ning knew that his romantic nature was always the biggest headache for Gu Lanlan.
"Teacher Jiang!"
Suddenly, the ward door was pushed open, and the person who came in was Ning Junzhe.
Seeing Jiang Ning lying in the hospital bed with Gu Lanlan beside him, Ning Junzhe realized how impolite his behavior had been.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I should have knocked first."
Jiang Ning naturally wouldn't blame Ning Junzhe. She introduced Gu Lanlan and Ning Junzhe to each other, and Gu Lanlan immediately started playing matchmaker, trying to set them up.
"I think this kid is good." Gu Lanlan pointed at Ning Junzhe with her thumb. "Just look at how worried he is about you, running until he was almost out of breath. He's a million times better than your scumbag husband."
Praised, Ning Junzhe smiled shyly yet proudly, scratching the back of his head.
Jiang Ning felt a little embarrassed, afraid that Ning Junzhe might take it seriously.
"Oh, by the way, Ms. Jiang, my friend at the court said that you can get a divorce."
Jiang Ning's eyes lit up immediately, but then dimmed again.
"But……"
"Don't worry, my friend is a judge. He said that no matter how powerful the other party is, as long as the evidence of his infidelity is conclusive, we can definitely get a divorce."
Ning Junzhe's words gave Jiang Ning a boost of confidence, but the thought of the evidence of her infidelity caused her left chest to ache involuntarily, even more painful than her physical injuries.
That day, Jiang Ning's test results came back. His internal organs were fine, but his leg injury needed to be healed, and he had also caught a cold. The doctor recommended that he stay in the hospital for observation.
After accompanying Chu Qingxue to the art exhibition and meet-and-greet, Lu Junyan took Chu Qingxue shopping for clothes.
Chu Qingxue likes pink, and looks good in pink.
So Chu Qingxue tried on many pink suits and dresses.
Lu Junyan wasn't in a hurry. He patiently waited for Chu Qingxue to change her clothes, praising each outfit she wore.
Every now and then, he would look down at his phone, until he received a WeChat message from Xiao Zhang:
Mr. Lu, as you instructed, the doctor has examined Ms. Jiang. The injuries are all superficial, but her leg injury is quite serious. In addition, she has caught a cold, so she will need to stay in the hospital for at least another week. The first-class ward will be reserved for Ms. Jiang.
"Junyan, what do you think of this dress?"
Chu Qingxue changed into her new dress and showed it to Lu Junyan. Lu Junyan turned off his phone and smiled charmingly.
"Yes, it suits you very well."
As a result, Lu Junyan paid for all the clothes Chu Qingxue tried on. It was still raining when he took Chu Qingxue home late at night.
Lu Junyan always escorted Chu Qingxue upstairs to her doorstep.
This time was no exception.
Get some rest early, goodnight.
Just as Lu Junyan was about to turn around, his hand was suddenly grabbed by Chu Qingxue.
"Junyan..."
She pulled Lu Junyan from outside the door into the room.
"It's raining so hard outside, you know I'm afraid of thunder..."
Chu Qingxue's voice sounded delicate and soft, like cotton candy, and her exquisitely made-up face appeared pink in Lu Junyan's eyes.
"Don't go back tonight, stay and keep me company, okay?"
