Chapter 151 Secret Divorce Abroad
Jiang Ning realized that Lu Junyan had misunderstood the relationship between her and Wen Munian.
But she didn't explain.
It wasn't that she wanted to let Lu Junyan misunderstand, nor did she want to provoke him into jealousy.
Rather, the relationship between her and Wen Munian as cousins is somewhat complicated to explain, and it involves her past that she is unwilling to mention.
From the moment she was forced to change her name, she decided to only be Jiang Ning.
In the corridor, Jiang Ning and Lu Junyan looked at each other in silence.
After a while, Lu Yexiong and Yang Liyun went to the ward to rest, and Jiang Ning was finally able to enter the ward to visit Lu Lifeng.
Lu Junyan neither stopped Jiang Ning nor accompanied him inside.
Jiang Ning stood alone by Lu Lifeng's bedside, looking at Lu Lifeng's weathered and haggard face.
"Grandpa, I'm so sorry..."
Jiang Ning's voice was choked with sobs, and her eyes were as red as a rabbit's.
Fortunately, the surgery was successful...
If anything were to happen to Lu Lifeng, Jiang Ning would never be able to forgive himself.
Jiang Ning stayed by Lu Lifeng's bedside until dawn the next day, without sleeping a wink all night.
Lu Yexiong and Yang Liyun took a short nap, which at least relieved their fatigue. Seeing that Jiang Ning was still there, they immediately kicked him out.
At this moment, Lu Lifeng woke up.
"Xiao Ning..."
When Yang Liyun saw Lu Lifeng call out to Jiang Ning as soon as he opened his eyes, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"That granddaughter-in-law you fancy almost killed you, and you still want to see her..."
Yang Liyun muttered something under her breath, only to be glared at by Lu Yexiong beside her.
Lu Lifeng had finally regained consciousness and was out of danger. He was afraid that Yang Liyun would say something that would further upset him.
Lu Lifeng opened his blurry eyes and looked around the spacious ward.
Where is Xiao Ning?
“That ungrateful wretch, all she knows is divorce, what else does she know all day long? Dad, you have no idea how worried we were when you had surgery. It was all thanks to Junyan contacting the internationally renowned head of cardiology that you were able to get out of danger... Jiang Ning is no help at all, all she does is make you angry…”
"Alright, alright, that's enough."
Lu Yexiong forcibly pulled Yang Liyun away.
Lu Junyan remained silent.
Because Lu Lifeng glanced at him, his eyes filled with anger and disappointment.
He believes that he's best off remaining invisible right now.
Outside the ward, Jiang Ning knew that Lu Lifeng had woken up, and her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled back down.
She didn't rush inside.
It wasn't that she was afraid Lu Yexiong and the others would kick her out again.
Rather, she was afraid that Lu Lifeng would be further agitated if he saw her.
Jiang Ning sat down on a bench in the corridor. Not long after, Lu Junyan, Lu Yexiong, and Yang Liyun came out of the ward one after another.
Lu Junyan approached Jiang Ning and said calmly, "Grandpa wants you to come in."
Jiang Ning got up and had just reached the door of the ward when Lu Junyan's words of advice came from behind her:
"Grandpa just woke up and is still very weak. Don't upset him."
Lu Junyan's tone was not harsh, and his voice was calm, but Jiang Ning still detected a hint of blame, as if she had deliberately said something to provoke her grandfather and cause him to be hospitalized.
Feeling a tightness in his chest, Jiang Ning sighed and walked into the ward.
"Xiao Ning..."
Lying on the hospital bed, Lu Lifeng reached out his hand to Jiang Ning with difficulty.
Jiang Ning saw the deep apology and heartache for her in Lu Lifeng's eyes.
Jiang Ning felt a slight sting in her nose and walked over to sit down beside Lu Lifeng's hospital bed.
“It’s Junyan who has wronged you…it’s our Lu family who has wronged you…”
Jiang Ning shook his head.
"Grandpa, don't say anymore. The important thing for you is to get well now."
Lu Lifeng listened to Jiang Ning and didn't bring up the matter again.
But he couldn't get over this hurdle in his heart.
He has always longed to hold his great-grandson.
He never imagined that his long-awaited great-grandson would be killed by his most beloved grandson.
Now Lu Lifeng understands why Jiang Ning insisted on separating from Lu Junyan no matter what.
"Xiao Ning, after you and Junyan divorce, would you like to be my goddaughter?"
As soon as Lu Lifeng said this, he saw Jiang Ning's expression change drastically.
"Grandpa, I know you want to make it up to me, but you really don't need to..."
Jiang Ning politely declined.
The best way to make amends to her is to stay away from Lu Junyan.
Only by staying far away from Lu Junyan can her wounded body and emotions be slowly healed by time!
"Okay, Grandpa understands."
Lu Lifeng regretted saying those words on impulse.
He could tell that Jiang Ning wanted to completely sever ties with the Lu family.
"You can keep the money and the shares, right? Grandpa can't give you anything else..."
"Don't worry, Grandpa, Lu Junyan has already written these things into the divorce agreement."
Jiang Ning's words startled Lu Lifeng.
"That kid Junyan... voluntarily gave you shares in the Lu Group? How many?"
"Ten percent."
Jiang Ning answered truthfully.
Lu Lifeng fell silent.
He knew that Lu Junyan had never loved Jiang Ning.
Although he had hoped that Lu Junyan would truly fall in love with Jiang Ning after marriage, the bastard things Lu Junyan did were enough to prove that his expectations had been dashed.
However, if Lu Junyan didn't love Jiang Ning, why did he give Jiang Ning ten percent of the shares in the Lu Group after the divorce?
Lu Lifeng let out a heavy sigh.
"Grandpa, don't overwork yourself anymore, get some rest... How about I tell you a joke?"
Jiang Ning told Lu Lifeng the jokes that Wen Munian had told her before, word for word, which made Lu Lifeng laugh out loud.
Outside the ward, Lu Yexiong and Yang Liyun had already gone back.
Now that Lu Lifeng is out of danger, and the doctors, nurses and caregivers at the hospital have all been taken care of, Lu Yexiong is going back to the company, and Yang Liyun doesn't like to stay in the hospital all the time.
However, Lu Junyan did not leave.
He stood outside the ward, silently listening to Jiang Ning and Lu Lifeng chatting and laughing inside. Lu Lifeng's laughter was unusually loud and confident.
At that moment, Xiao Zhang called him.
"Mr. Lu, Miss Chu has come to the company to see you."
Lu Junyan didn't speak immediately. He glanced at the call and noticed that there were three missed calls.
Because he was in the hospital, his phone was on vibrate.
Tell her I'm busy.
"Then... about Old Master Lu being hospitalized..."
"No need to say."
Xiao Zhang on the other end of the phone understood what Lu Junyan meant.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Junyan saw Jiang Ning walk out of the ward and gently close the door behind her.
"Grandpa is asleep. I'll stay here tonight."
Jiang Ning's words took Lu Junyan by surprise.
He smiled calmly, "What, weren't you going to divorce me?"
"We still have to get a divorce."
Jiang Ning's attitude was firm, and the faint smile on Lu Junyan's lips gradually disappeared.
"So I want to ask you, when exactly can you come with me to the Civil Affairs Bureau?"
"Grandpa hasn't even been discharged from the hospital yet, and you can't wait that long?"
Jiang Ning saw Lu Junyan take a pack of cigarettes out of his coat pocket.
Smoking is not allowed in the hospital.
She reminded him softly.
Lu Junyan tightened his grip on the cigarette, crumpling the cigarette pack in his hand.
"Divorce is possible... but not in country A."
Lu Junyan's cold voice was like a solid block of ice rubbing against Jiang Ning's eardrums.
"It's too risky for the two of us to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau together, so let's change the location... We'll get a secret divorce abroad. It just so happens that Ning Junzhe and Fu Xinyue are getting married in the US next month, so we'll go together to attend, complete the divorce procedures there, and then get the divorce certificate consularly authenticated. That way, the Civil Affairs Bureau in China will update its system."
