Chapter 47 Successful Divorce
Lu Junyan lay on the ground.
His face was pale, his eyes were contorted, he was covered in sweat, and he was delirious.
"Lu Junyan!"
Jiang Ning quickly helped Lu Junyan up, but Lu Junyan didn't wake up even after she called him several times.
She immediately called an ambulance, but it was rush hour and the ambulance said it would take at least half an hour to arrive.
To save time, Jiang Ning helped Lu Junyan out of the office, where they happened to run into Chu Qingxue.
When Chu Qingxue first saw Jiang Ning supporting Lu Junyan, her expression changed.
However, she soon realized that something was wrong with Lu Junyan.
"What's wrong with Junyan?"
"He must be having a stomach ache."
"How could it suddenly hurt so much?!"
Jiang Ning rolled her eyes at Chu Qingxue.
It was all because Lu Junyan accompanied her to eat Sichuan cuisine; otherwise, her stomach problems wouldn't have gotten so severe.
Too lazy to waste words with Chu Qingxue, Jiang Ning helped Lu Junyan to the elevator, only to find that the elevator was under maintenance.
The general manager's office is located on the top floor of the building, and the floor above that is a sky garden.
There is only one elevator from the 71st to the 79th floor.
"What should we do? Hasn't the ambulance arrived yet?" Chu Qingxue was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. Jiang Ning said to her:
"Can you do me a favor and let him lie on my back? I'll carry him on my back."
What's the point of carrying him?
"If you don't want Lu Junyan to die from the pain, do as I say!"
After being yelled at by Jiang Ning, Chu Qingxue had no choice but to obediently help, letting Lu Junyan lie on Jiang Ning's back.
Jiang Ning carried the unconscious Lu Junyan, who was in pain, to the emergency exit.
Chu Qingxue was standing beside him, and when she realized what Jiang Ning was planning to do, she was shocked.
"Are you kidding me? This is the 79th floor! Are you going to carry Junyan down 79 floors?!"
“I just need to carry him down 8 floors, and then we can use another elevator on the 71st floor.”
Jiang Ning finished speaking calmly and went downstairs.
Chu Qingxue had no other choice but to follow along, reminding Jiang Ning to watch his step so that Lu Junyan wouldn't fall.
Jiang Ning didn't say a word.
Although she had practiced Sanda (Chinese kickboxing), it would still take half her life for a girl to carry a big man down eight floors.
By the end, she didn't even have the strength to get into the elevator.
"Leave Junyan to me now!"
Chu Qingxue took Lu Junyan from Jiang Ning, who was exhausted and panting, and helped him into the elevator.
The elevator descended from the 71st floor to the 1st floor, at which point the ambulance arrived.
The timing was perfect.
Jiang Ning couldn't move her legs and knelt at the elevator entrance for a long time, getting stared at several times by unfamiliar colleagues who passed by, as if she were mentally ill.
When she was finally able to move, she took a taxi to the hospital.
Sitting in the taxi, Jiang Ning told herself that she shouldn't have gone.
Lu Junyan has Chu Qingxue by his side, so he doesn't need her at all.
But reason prevailed over emotion; she only wanted to go to the hospital to see Lu Junyan and make sure he was safe.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Jiang Ning saw Yang Liyun before she even saw Lu Junyan.
"How dare you show your face here!"
Yang Liyun seized the opportunity to berate Jiang Ning.
"You're a jinx! My son hasn't had a single good thing since he married you! Our Lu family feeds you well, and you just..."
She's been having affairs outside the marriage, and she even dared to file for divorce, ruining my son like this... Let me tell you, Jiang Ning, if anything happens to my son, I'll never forgive you!"
Yang Liyun's cursing filled the hospital corridor.
Jiang Ning couldn't help but think to herself that she had indeed come to the wrong place.
“Lu Junyan’s stomach is in such pain because he went to eat Sichuan food with Chu Qingxue, so it’s Chu Qingxue who caused your son to be like this, it has nothing to do with me… Also, since you can’t stand me so much, why don’t you advise your son to divorce me as soon as possible, so that if anything happens to your Lu family, you can’t blame me.”
After saying these words coldly, Jiang Ning turned and left, ignoring Yang Liyun's stomping and jumping behind her.
Lu Junyan woke up in the hospital room.
Chu Qingxue was peeling an apple when she noticed Lu Junyan's gaze sweeping around the ward, as if he were looking for someone.
Yang Liyun had just returned when she saw that Lu Junyan was awake. She immediately showered him with concern and praised Chu Qingxue.
"Do you know how exhausted Qingxue was when you fainted? She carried you down eight flights of stairs, followed the ambulance all the way to the hospital, and stayed by your side day and night! If it weren't for Qingxue, I don't even want to think what would have happened to you..."
"Aunt Yun, please stop talking. I didn't actually do anything." Chu Qingxue lowered her head shyly.
Lu Junyan looked at Chu Qingxue, his eyes as deep as the sea.
"Thanks a lot."
Chu Qingxue immediately grasped Lu Junyan's hand, holding it tightly.
"It's all what I should do."
Lu Junyan was discharged from the hospital after only two days.
Stomach problems are a chronic issue for him, so there's no need to make a fuss about it. Besides, there are always business matters at the company that require his attention.
The news has spread throughout the entire company—
Chu Qingxue carried the unconscious Lu Junyan down eight floors; she was Lu Junyan's savior.
They also said that the two were going to each other.
Jiang Ning heard it so many times that he became numb to it.
At first, she hesitated whether she should tell the truth.
However, she later felt it was unnecessary.
Even if she says it, others may not believe her.
Moreover, she and Lu Junyan have no relationship in the eyes of outsiders, so what reason does she have to go down eight floors behind Lu Junyan's back?
As for Lu Junyan...
Jiang Ning has come to terms with it.
It would be perfect if Lu Junyan misunderstood that Chu Qingxue had saved him, so she could take the opportunity to file for divorce.
Just before leaving get off work, Jiang Ning took out the divorce agreement she had prepared the night before and knocked on Lu Junyan's office door.
"Mr. Lu, please sign."
She handed the divorce papers to Lu Junyan like she would a company document.
Lu Junyan didn't even look up, skipping over her document and signing another one.
"Don't discuss personal matters at the company."
A simple sentence left Jiang Ning speechless.
Jiang Ning had no choice but to take back the divorce agreement. At this moment, Chu Qingxue pushed open the door and came in to deliver medicine to Lu Junyan, and then she went out.
Today, Ning Junzhe came to pick her up from get off work. Just as the car started, she suddenly received a WeChat message from Lu Junyan, asking her to return to Yunding Yuge to continue discussing the private matter she wanted to talk about after get off work.
That is, divorce.
Jiang Ning didn't want to go back.
However, thinking that she and Lu Junyan might be able to successfully divorce this time, she asked Ning Junzhe to take her back to Yunding Jade Pavilion.
Ning Junzhe escorted her all the way to her doorstep.
"I'll wait here. If he dares to bully you, I'll teach him a lesson for you."
Seeing Ning Junzhe's eager expression, Jiang Ning didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The divorce was a matter between her and Lu Junyan, and she didn't want to involve Ning Junzhe.
No matter how she tried to persuade him, Ning Junzhe refused to leave.
Jiang Ning took out the door key, opened the door, and went inside.
She had returned the key before, but her grandfather had given it back to her.
There was the sound of water coming from inside the house.
When the sound of water stopped, Jiang Ning saw Lu Junyan come out of the bathroom, wearing only a bath towel around his waist.
Jiang Ning avoided eye contact and handed over the divorce agreement.
Lu Junyan reached out, but instead of taking the divorce papers, he grabbed her wrist.
Jiang Ning was suddenly pulled into Lu Junyan's arms.
A deep voice rubbed against her eardrums.
"Why do you insist on divorcing me? You clearly love me so much."
"Who said I love you?"
Jiangning struggled.
"If you don't love me, carry me down eight flights of stairs."
