Chapter 500 The Problematic Baby VS The Arrogant Guy Who Loves to Ask Questions 52
Lu Jingxun frowned, still somewhat incredulous at what he had just heard.
The sun was very bright at this time, and the gauze curtains near the round table were only half drawn open.
A gentle breeze blew, and the light filtering through the gauze curtains cast a shadow on Jiang Zhiyi's face, making her eyes appear eerily bright.
"I want you to jump." Jiang Zhiyi repeated expressionlessly, "Why does your leg need to be healed? If you keep getting injured and need to recuperate, then you'll never be able to walk again..."
As she spoke the last few words, her voice grew softer and softer, and she stared down at her clasped fingers, as if trying to convince herself with this excuse.
Lu Jingxun remained silent for the time being.
A deathly silence gradually spread through the flower-filled space, creating an extremely fragmented atmosphere.
Even though he was standing in the sunlight, Lu Jingxun felt a chill all over his body; he could even hear his own heartbeat.
He knew that Jiang Zhiyi was in a very strange state.
Perhaps he had already lost control of his emotions, which is why he made such an absurd request.
The greenhouse is on the third floor, and the ceiling height of this villa is higher than that of ordinary houses, reaching a total height of nearly ten meters...
Jumping from such a place would be extremely dangerous, with a high probability of internal organ rupture, spinal fracture, or even high-level paraplegia...
That's not just about losing a leg; it's about risking your life.
Lu Jingxun tried to calm her down, saying, "Calm down first. Let's sit down and talk it over, okay? We won't break up, and I won't abandon you."
He does have to go back, but the two of them will not be separated.
If she doesn't want to go to school in Beijing, then he can find a suitable school nearby, and he will come to see her whenever he has time.
Or, she could choose not to go to school and stay at home as long as she wanted.
He can give her endless money, she doesn't need to study, she doesn't need to work hard, and she doesn't need to be busy for a pittance in the future.
She can do whatever she wants—he can support her and give her complete security.
In the future, he will try to stay here with her as much as possible.
But not now; he needs some more time to do it.
Nowadays, power is in the hands of the elders, and he doesn't have much say; he has to do many things.
He couldn't possibly tell Lu Xingbang that he was no longer going to care about his studies or the Lu family's business, and that he wanted to stay in the countryside and just wait to die.
Even if he were willing to do so, Lu Xingbang would absolutely never agree.
They have to separate for a while.
But Jiang Zhiyi clearly can't understand these things now, and even her emotions have become exceptionally sensitive due to her physical condition.
"What are we talking about? What do we have to talk about?" Jiang Zhiyi suddenly exploded, grabbing the glass fruit plate from the round table and smashing it to the ground. "What else can we do?"
The sound of shattering glass startled Lu Jingxun, causing his pupils to shrink sharply.
"You said you'd always be with me, so why did you leave? You were lying to me! You just didn't want to stay! And you're still trying to deny it!"
Jiang Zhiyi's voice grew louder and louder.
The nannies downstairs heard the commotion and came upstairs, but they didn't dare to approach and just watched quietly from the side.
Lu Jingxun knew that Jiang Zhiyi was definitely not listening to anything right now, and he couldn't continue to provoke her, so he said, "I can still discuss my going back, or I might not leave. Don't be in a hurry... Are you thirsty? I'll get you a glass of water."
He made an excuse to leave, thinking he would contact a few relevant doctors to ask how to persuade her to feel better.
Lu Jingxun turned around and went out through the door.
The elevator was on the other side of the corridor, so he didn't plan to go there.
As he reached the stairs and took a step to go down, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind him.
Lu Jingxun turned around subconsciously and met Jiang Zhiyi's reddened eyes.
She suddenly pushed her hand away. Lu Jingxun didn't understand what she was going to do. His eyes were fixed on the pearl bracelet he had given her on her wrist.
When he realized what was happening, a feeling of weightlessness was accompanied by a sharp pain.
Lu Jingxun's back slammed heavily against the railing, and he rolled uncontrollably down several times before his head hit the carved white jade stone at the corner of the stairs.
He heard a dull thud as his skull cracked, and warm liquid flowed down his forehead, blurring his vision.
In his last moments before losing consciousness, he vaguely saw Jiang Zhiyi standing on the stairs, her eyes filled with a hint of bewildered panic, her lips trembling as if she wanted to say something.
"Young Master! Young Master!" came the nanny's panicked scream from the side. "Someone come quick! Something's happened!"
The cleaning tools the nanny was using fell to the ground. She rushed over and almost slipped on the blood flowing beneath Lu Jingxun because she was in such a hurry.
Blood spread across the marble steps, dripping down the cracks in a shocking crimson...
The sound of an ambulance siren broke the tranquility of the village, and many people looked out curiously, but no one knew what had happened.
Jiang Zhiyi was helped to sit on the living room sofa by security guards. She remained silent as she watched medical staff carry away Lu Jingxun, who was already unconscious, on a stretcher.
With such a serious incident, the housekeeper immediately called Beijing, not daring to delay for even a moment.
...
Nighttime, a VIP ward at a private hospital in Lincheng.
Lu Jingxun lay on the hospital bed, his head wrapped in thick bandages, an oxygen tube inserted into his pale face.
The Lu family's housekeeper was reporting the situation on the phone: "Skull fracture with epidural hematoma, the attending physician... he is currently out of danger..."
Not long after, a private plane landed at the airport closest to Lin City, and then the group rushed to the hospital.
Around midnight, there was some noise outside the ward.
Lu Xingbang was on a business trip abroad at the time and could not return for the time being. It was Lu Jingxun's mother, Ji Yunhua, who rushed over.
She walked into the ward, and the regular "beeping" of the electrocardiogram monitor made her temples throb.
When she saw the person lying there, her eyes immediately welled up with tears.
Lu Jingxun had never suffered such a serious injury before.
The most serious incident was when Lu Xingbang broke his leg, but who would have thought that this would happen again just as his leg injury was healing.
Ji Yunhua couldn't stop her tears; her face was full of heartache and worry for her son.
"Have all the nannies come over, and pull up the home security camera footage." She gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, her hands still trembling slightly from heartache. She paused, her voice as cold as ice, "Also, call Chief Dai of the police station—tell him that I need an explanation for this!"
This is already murder!
She will never let this woman who dared to hurt her son get away with it.
