Chapter 261 Your mother is a bitch
"Don't...go..."
"Why? Why...why won't you even look at me..."
"Don't leave me alone..."
In a blur, Lu Junyan saw a child who looked about three or four years old.
It's a little boy.
But he couldn't see the little boy's face clearly.
The little boy lived in a very big house.
But there was no one else inside except him.
The empty house looked like a haunted house.
How long has it been since he last saw his father?
He didn't know.
How long has it been since he last saw his mother?
He didn't know either.
The only people he could see were the servants his parents had hired.
He won't go hungry; the servants will cook for him.
But on thundery or rainy days, he can't snuggle into his parents' arms.
He reached out his small, powerless hands to the servant as if pleading for help.
He wanted the other person to pick him up, kiss him, and comfort him.
"Young master, you won't be afraid of thunder if you stay indoors."
The maid took the little boy's hand, led him into the bedroom, had him sit on the bed, checked the windows, and then closed the door.
No matter how well the house was soundproofed, the thunder still roared in the little boy's ears. He crawled under the covers, his small body trembling.
...
Today is the little boy's birthday.
The maid usually cooks three dishes, but today she cooked five.
There is no cake.
There are no candles.
Even if their family can afford it.
But nobody prepared anything for him.
So I didn't make a wish.
The little boy knew that his wish wouldn't come true.
"Young Master, please take your time eating!"
The large dining table was laden with dishes, and a little boy was eating.
one person.
The little boy ate his meal silently while tears streamed down his face.
Every dish had a slightly bitter taste.
...
"Auntie, where's my dad?"
"Young Master, Mr. Lu is too busy with work. You must be sensible and obedient."
...
"Mom, I miss you..."
"Who's your mother? Get out of here."
...
"Daddy, I want Mommy..."
"What do you need a mother for? Your mother's a whore!"
...
In the darkness, the little boy cried loudly.
When he lowered his hands from rubbing his red eyes, Lu Junyan finally saw the little boy's face clearly.
Suddenly opening his eyes, Lu Junyan saw a familiar face reflected in his terrified gaze.
This face almost made him think he was still dreaming.
Jiang Ning had never seen Lu Junyan show such an expression before.
What dream could have scared you like that?
She and Lu Junyan locked eyes for a long time before she saw the fear in Lu Junyan's eyes gradually fade away.
Lu Junyan did not ask Jiang Ning why he was here.
More important than the reason was the fact that Jiang Ning had appeared before him.
Lu Junyan's memory is actually fragmented.
The last image that remains in my mind is of a juvenile detention center on a stormy night.
So did he faint?
Lu Junyan couldn't recall it.
All he knew was that he was feeling thirsty, weak, and very uncomfortable.
He didn't even need to touch his forehead to know that he definitely had a fever.
He had an IV drip in his right hand, with several medicine bottles hanging on it.
"Thank you... for coming to take care of me..."
Lu Junyan thanked Jiang Ning in a hoarse voice.
Jiang Ning looked at Lu Junyan's pale and haggard face, her eyes calm and unmoved, showing neither sorrow nor joy.
"You don't need to thank me, you should thank Xiao Zhang."
As Jiang Ning spoke, she swung the thermometer back and handed it to Lu Junyan.
Whether it was because Lu Junyan was currently suffering from illness, or because people are like this when they are vulnerable, Lu Junyan's eyes were filled with deep gratitude as he looked at her, as if his love for her was as deep as the sea.
However, all she did was hand over a thermometer.
Jiang Ning originally intended to go to the Lu Group, but received a call from Xiao Zhang saying that Lu Junyan had been caught in the rain all night and had a persistent high fever.
"So why didn't you go to see a doctor when his fever wouldn't go down? Why did you come to me?"
Jiang Ning asked very directly, and his tone was quite impolite.
"Miss Jiang...Mr. Lu needs you."
After listening to Xiao Zhang's confident words, Jiang Ning replied:
"oh."
Then he hung up the phone.
She wasn't sure if Lu Junyan really needed her.
Even if she is truly needed, why should she absolutely have to go?
Unlike Xiao Zhang, who is Lu Junyan's assistant and available at a moment's notice, she is not.
Sitting in the driver's seat, Jiang Ning shrugged and sneered.
In the past, whenever Lu Junyan fell ill, she would be extremely anxious and at a loss, as if Lu Junyan would die if she didn't do something for him.
Just as Jiang Ning was about to drive off, his phone rang again.
As expected, it was Xiao Zhang calling again.
Jiang Ning did not answer and turned off his phone.
What came to mind was Lu Junyan, who came to her in the pouring rain to ask for reconciliation.
It's likely true that Lu Junyan has a high fever.
This is a good opportunity to test the waters and see if Lu Junyan will really die if she doesn't take care of him.
Jiang Ning stepped on the gas and drove off.
Since Lu Junyan was seriously ill and the board meeting was not going to take place, Jiang Ning decided to go to his own studio.
Before she had gone far, a person suddenly rushed out from the side and blocked her car.
If Jiang Ning hadn't been a skilled driver, the guy who was courting death would be dead by now.
Jiang Ning looked closely and realized that the other person was none other than Xiao Zhang.
Xiao Zhang's expression was one of resignation to death, as if Xiao Zhang would die under Jiang Ning's wheels if Jiang Ning didn't visit the sick Lu Junyan today.
Under pressure from Xiao Zhang, Jiang Ning finally gave in.
She still wanted to leave a good impression on Xiao Zhang.
She wanted to hire Xiao Zhang as her assistant after she officially took over the Lu Group.
According to Xiao Zhang, Lu Junyan is seriously ill, and the illness is in his heart.
However, when Jiang Ning arrived at the Cloud Top Jade Pavilion, he found that Lu Junyan's body temperature was so high that he could fry an egg on it.
In situations like this, a doctor is definitely more effective than her.
So she asked Xiao Zhang to contact the Lu family's private doctor and give Lu Junyan some fever-reducing medication.
After administering the three vials of medicine, Lu Junyan's fever finally subsided, and Jiang Ning removed the needles from Lu Junyan's body.
"Have you been here with me for a long time?"
Lu Junyan's soft, magnetic voice brushed against her eardrum.
I just arrived.
Upon hearing Jiang Ning's words, a fleeting look of disappointment crossed Lu Junyan's eyes.
However, he inadvertently noticed the ashtray on the windowsill.
There were several empty cigarettes there.
It's a slim cigarette that ladies like to smoke.
The only possible source for this type of cigarette is Jiang Ning.
That time on the Royal Victoria cruise ship, he saw Jiang Ning smoking for the first time, and it was also the first time he knew that Jiang Ning could smoke.
Judging from the amount of cigarette butts, Jiang Ning definitely couldn't have just arrived.
Lu Junyan's naturally smiling lips slowly turned up, and a warm feeling filled his chest.
“You never used to smoke…”
The "before" that Lu Junyan mentioned refers to the time after he married Jiang Ning.
He really wanted to ask Jiang Ning if she quit smoking for his sake.
But he swallowed the words back down his throat.
He was afraid of upsetting Jiang Ning.
He finally saw Jiang Ning again, and Jiang Ning finally agreed to take care of him. He wanted to cherish this moment.
cherish……
These two words stirred up ripples in Lu Junyan's heart.
Jiang Ning didn't understand why Lu Junyan brought up smoking at first, until she saw the cigarette butts left in the ashtray.
Those cigarettes were the ones she smoked.
She realized that Lu Junyan already knew she hadn't just arrived, but had been there for a long time.
