Chapter 66 Like Mother, Like Son
Jiang Jinyue snorted coldly, "Not necessarily."
Judging from the looks of it, he must have been defeated by Ruan Nuan. Ning Xi suppressed the excitement on her lips, "Yes, how did you get this injury? Did Ruan Nuan hit you?"
He shook his head. "No, do you remember the guy we met at the Ruan family's banquet, the guy who chatted up Ruan Nuan?"
Ning Xi thought for a moment and said, "Remember, he was the one who hit you?"
Seeing Jiang Jinyue nod, she said, "He seems to be a member of the Ruan family, right?"
Jiang Jinyue: "This is why I'm asking for your help."
Boundless jealousy surged in her heart, and Ning Xi forced a smile, "Even if they are relatives, they should be distant relatives, right?"
"If she was a close relative, how could they allow her to live such a poor life?"
This is also what Jiang Jinyue doesn’t understand.
He didn't continue talking. Ning Xi took out the medicine box and applied medicine to him. She took the opportunity to blow gently on his face. Her watery eyes were like ripples in the water. The places where she blew felt itchy, like a soft feather brushing past him. He was slightly stunned.
Ning Xi took the opportunity to move forward and kiss him. Jiang Jinyue didn't have time to dodge, so she kissed him right in the middle of the kiss.
But it was only two or three seconds before he immediately pushed her away, his brows furrowed, and struggle surged in his deep eyes.
"Xiaoxi, we shouldn't be like this."
Ning Xi frowned, feeling disapproval in her heart, but soon she bit her lip, looking pitiful and about to cry.
"Ayue, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. I was probably just too lonely."
Jiang Jinyue frowned tightly, unwilling to meet her eyes.
He knew that after Huo Yan's death, Ning Xi lost her support and became very insecure.
The sadness of losing her husband and the confusion about the future left her with a huge emotional gap.
So she called him over every now and then, and he didn't refuse.
But whether taking her out to play or to participate in activities, it is to distract her attention and not let her have too many wild thoughts.
But he had never thought about cheating on his wife, and even now, he didn't think he could turn back.
If I have to say, it is that the situation has changed between then and now.
As time goes by, the cinnabar mole that was so hot and necessary at that time has now turned into mosquito blood.
What exactly is the reason for all this?
Maybe it’s because after growing up, what fills each other’s lives is no longer pure love, and the attitude towards love has also changed.
Ning Xi said she would marry Huo Yan only because Huo Yan confessed his love to her first and she preferred herself to him.
But is this really the only reason?
Probably not.
Is it because Huo Yan's family background is much better than mine?
After Ning Xi married Huo Yan, she quickly climbed up from being an 18th-tier female star. In just three years, she became one of the first- and second-tier female stars.
Behind all this, Huo Yan used his connections to help her get resources.
Even if Huo Yan didn't say it, Jiang Jinyue could guess it. After all, he was such a self-sacrificing love-brained person.
He is completely different from his philandering father. After he set his heart on Ning Xi, he never loved another person in his life.
But now Ning Xi is successful in her career, has money and fame, and has forgotten Huo Yan's support for her. Otherwise, she would not have divorced him right after Huo Yan passed away.
"If you feel lonely, you can go and have a relationship." With Ning Xi's current achievements, there are many people pursuing her.
"But I don't like them." Ning Xi likes Jiang Jinyue. No matter how her parents or agent object, she has decided on him.
"Xiaoxi, I think I should have made it very clear to you. I can accompany you, but it's only as a friendship. Anything else is simply impossible."
Listening to this, Ning Xi slowly began to shed tears.
Jiang Jinyue finally couldn't bear it anymore and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his fingers. His eyes were very gentle, "Don't cry."
Ning Xi lay in his arms, sobbing, but a hint of hatred flashed in her eyes.
Ruan Nuan, you stole my things, and sooner or later I will make you spit them out.
-
During dinner time, Ruan Nuan suddenly sneezed.
Zeng Rui and Ruan Zhaohuang were not at home, and Ruan Ye was out for a social event, so she was the only one at home.
The sneeze was unexpected. Who was scolding her?
Ruan Ye? Or Jiang Jinyue?
I don’t know, who cares?
Although Ruan Nuan didn't have to go to work on the weekend, she had contacted her colleagues in the hospital last night and would go there today as she had promised Jiang Jinyue to take care of Ms. Ju.
Ruan Nuan and Ms. Ju met in the hospital lobby. After making an appointment, Ms. Ju finally couldn't help but ask Ruan Nuan.
"Nuannuan, what happened yesterday? Didn't Jinyue go to see you? Why did you come back with such a bruised face?"
Ms. Ju was actually angry with Ruan Nuan, but she kept it to herself because Ruan Nuan was willing to help her find a doctor and the subsequent medical expenses would depend on her.
Not wanting to talk about it, her face was cold.
However, she had long wanted to make things clear with Ms. Ju about her divorce from Jiang Jinyue, and now was a good opportunity.
In her opinion, we are all women, so why should women make things difficult for other women? If she explains it clearly to Ms. Ju, the problem will most likely be solved.
So she explained, "Auntie, the relationship between Jiang Jinyue and I is no longer salvageable. I'm not joking."
Ms. Ju was stunned for a moment, then frowned, and her smile became increasingly faint.
"But...why are you still willing to help me..."
Ruan Nuan: "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but I'm also afraid of people poking my back. We've been mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for five years. You've treated me well, and I've treated you well too. Now that you're sick, I have to take responsibility. But this is only because of the affection between us, nothing more."
Ms. Ju's face was gloomy, just like the cloudy weather today.
She understood that Ruan Nuan meant to draw a line between herself and Jiang Jinyue, and that taking her to see the doctor this time had exhausted the last bit of affection between them.
Neither of them said another word until Ms. Ju got a number and entered the clinic.
The doctor Ruan Nuan found for her was the best chief physician in the hospital. He reviewed her X-rays and previous medical records and said, "Looking at the report, you should be fine."
Ms. Ju's face fell, "But I still feel uncomfortable."
The 20-year-old doctor said: "Where do you feel uncomfortable? You just had surgery, so it's normal to feel discomfort in your waist. After all, it's where the surgery was done, so you need time to recover."
Ms. Ju: "It's back pain. But it's the same pain as before the surgery. It seems the surgery in Wencheng didn't have much effect. Is it because the doctors there are not good enough?"
The 20-year-old doctor sneered, "Doctor Leng, you and I have the same mentor. Are you saying that our teacher's medical skills are not good?"
Ms. Ju turned pale and stopped talking.
"If you're still worried, then do another check-up." The 24-year-old doctor wrote her a new check-up list.
After Ms. Ju left, the doctor called Ruan Nuan and talked to her about Ms. Ju's condition.
I thought the doctor was going to lecture her to take better care of Ms. Ju, but he unexpectedly said, "Doctor Ruan, is it possible that the patient's condition is not a surgical problem, but a psychological problem?"
Ruan Nuan was silent for a moment, knowing that what Dr. Sui said made sense. "That's possible. Don't worry, Dr. Sui. I will guide my aunt well."
Ruan Nuan accompanied Ms. Ju to get a checkup. Ms. Ju was still complaining about the 20-year-old doctor, "Is it possible that the doctors in this hospital are not good at medicine?"
Ruan Nuan was speechless, but on the surface she had to patiently persuade her, "Auntie, the doctor is a chief physician. He has diagnosed thousands of cases since graduating with a doctorate. He is a fellow student of the president of the best tertiary hospital here. His mentor is a leading figure in orthopedics, and his students are all over the world."
Ms. Ju said, "Oh," and then asked, "Is Dr. Leng, who treated me, also a disciple of this mentor?"
Ruan Nuan nodded: "Yes, we are from the same sect."
Ms. Ju was speechless now.
After a series of examinations, it cost several thousand more. When it came time to pay the examination fee, Ms. Ju was not willing to pay. Ruan Nuan did not want to make things awkward and took the initiative to help her pay. Ms. Ju said thank you, and Ruan Nuan smiled and said, "It's my duty."
After the examination, the doctor took the test results and said, "Everything is normal. You can go home and rest."
Ms. Ju did not need to be hospitalized. She was a little dissatisfied, but the doctor would never harm her.
Ruan Nuan said she would take her home, so Ms. Ju curiously asked where she lived now.
