1: Chapter 1 Let’s Get Divorced!
“Miss Jian, congratulations, you’re pregnant, four weeks along, and all the indicators for the child are normal!”
Jian Si, holding the pregnancy test report, excitedly headed ho, wanting to share the good news with her husband, Lu Youting, as soon as possible.
“Lu Youting, I…”
“Jian Si, let’s get a divorce.”
Both spoke at the sa ti.
Jian Si felt as if soone had doused her with a bucket of cold water, chilling her to the bone, as she forcefully swallowed the words “I’m pregnant” back down.
“Why?”
Her voice trembled, desperately trying to contain the piercing heartache.
Even if she were to die, she wanted to die understanding why.
Lu Youting’s thin lips were tightly pressed together, his eyes cold as the sea, without a trace of warmth.
“Qingqing is back.”
Hearing those words, Jian Si’s complexion turned ashen, inch by inch, like transparent colored glass.
The woman who had disappeared for two years, whom Lu Youting had loved so profoundly, had actually returned.
Lu Youting took out a check and placed it on the desk: “Here’s one billion yuan, part of it is your divorce settlent, the rest is for your bone marrow.”
Jian Si asked warily, “What do you an?”
“Qingqing has aplastic anemia and urgently needs a bone marrow transplant!
And your bone marrow matches hers by ninety percent.
You’re her sister, it’s your duty to save her.”
This wasn’t a discussion, it was an outright command.
Jian Si’s heart plunged to the depths: “What if I refuse to donate, are you still going to force onto the operating table?”
A flash of coldness passed swiftly through Lu Youting’s eyes as he silently looked at her, his silence undoubtedly giving Jian Si her answer.
Jian Si’s blood froze in that mont.
It felt as if a chunk of her heart had been crudely cut out, causing pain so severe it felt like death.
Their two years of marriage couldn’t compare to a woman who had once abandoned him.
In that mont, her heart died completely.
“I will absolutely not donate bone marrow to Ye Qingqing.
Her mother, a howrecker, caused my mother to suffer from depression and commit suicide.
Now that she’s suffering from a blood disease, it’s the just deserts for her and her mother.
To expect to save her, it’s impossible.
If you still have any regard for our two years of marriage, then don’t force .
Otherwise, I will hate you for a lifeti.”
Her words caused Lu Youting’s heart to suddenly tighten.
It wasn’t clear what he felt.
It was a bit uncomfortable.
Jian Si didn’t notice his reaction and picked up a pen from the desk, decisively signing her na on the divorce agreent.
“I will move out imdiately, from now on we go our separate ways, to grow old without any further contact.” After speaking, she put down the pen and prepared to leave.
Just as she turned around, she bumped into Ye Qingqing who had just entered the room.
Ye Qingqing wore a white dress, her long hair draping over her shoulders, her pale face as white as paper, her eyes glistening wetly, like a pure lily.
“Sister, I know you hate my mother, but you don’t know the real story.
My mom and dad t first, but grandpa didn’t approve, he forced my dad to marry your mom.
They…”
Before she could finish, Jian Si interrupted her.
“Enough, don’t say anymore.
If dad truly loved your mom, he shouldn’t have compromised and married my mom in the first place.
Once married, he should have taken responsibility for the marriage.
Likewise, since my parents were married, your mom shouldn’t have intruded into their marriage.”
Saying this with a self-mocking laugh, she cast a cold glance at Lu Youting: “It’s funny when you think about it.
Your mom stole my mom’s man, and now you’re stealing my man.
Did my mom and I slaughter your entire family in our past lives?
Or are there no other n left in the world, that you have to compete with us for them?”
Lu Youting’s pupils suddenly contracted, his slender brow revealing a chill.
“Jian Si, enough, stop talking.”
Jian Si scoffed: “What, just a few words and you’re already heartbroken?”
Layers of gloom began to seep into Lu Youting’s eyes, a clear sign that his patience was exhausted.
Ye Qingqing stole a glance at Lu Youting, and clear tears began to fall one by one from her eyes.
“Sister, how can you accuse like this?
Youting was originally my fiancé; you were the one who stole my fiancé, how can you bla the victim?”
Jian Si retorted fiercely: “If he truly was your fiancé, why did you disappear on the day before the wedding?
You clearly despised him for his disability, afraid he couldn’t perform as a man, that’s why you ran.
I married him to pick up the pieces after the ss you left.
Now that he’s better, you shalessly co back.
Ye Qingqing, don’t you have any sha?”
Lu Youting’s icy gaze flickered with surprise.
He was accustod to her obedient side.
Seeing her show another side, while he was angered, he also found it novel.
“Sister, how can you wrong ?” Ye Qingqing sobbed, wiping away tears.
Looking at her hypocritical performance, Jian Si felt nauseous: “Enough, I’m not Lu Youting, your tears are useless on !
Since you want him, I’ll give him to you.
But to want my bone marrow, never!”
After finishing, he pushed her, who was blocking his path, away and left the study without looking back.
Watching his departing figure, Lu Youting felt an inexplicable pain in his heart.
Then, he laughed at himself mockingly.
How could he feel heartache for such a vain and selfish woman who wouldn’t save his sister’s life?
It must be an illusion brought on by being married for too long.
Under Jian Si’s repeated humiliations, Ye Qingqing’s face almost couldn’t hold back her distress as she looked at Lu Youting with a pitiable gaze, “Youting, if your sister won’t agree, what should I do?”
Lu Youting said indifferently, “I will have Lu Ya continue to search for a suitable bone marrow donor for you.”
Implicit in his words was that this issue should be dropped.
“But…” Ye Qingqing was reluctant.
She had finally found a marrow match with a ninety percent compatibility.
She couldn’t bear to give up just like that.
A flash of irritation crossed Lu Youting’s eyes, and his handso face was shrouded in coldness, “I don’t like to force others.”
Seeing his firm attitude, Ye Qingqing didn’t dare to continue and lowered her head, her expression slowly twisting into a hideous snarl where he couldn’t see.
Letting her give up?
Impossible.
No matter what, she had to get Jian Si’s bone marrow.
…
Jian Si grabbed her suitcase and walked out of the bedroom, staring at the tightly closed door of the study, her chest feeling sour, and unconsciously, her hand rested on her flat belly.
Goodbye.
The man she had loved for ten years.
From now on, it would just be her and the baby depending on each other.
Jian Si took a deep breath, pushed the tears back, and dragged the suitcase out of the place she had lived for two years.
She drove to the small apartnt left by her mother before she passed away.
While taking her luggage out of the trunk, suddenly, soone covered her mouth and nose from behind.
Then, a pungent sll rushed into her nostrils.
She tried to struggle, but found herself without strength, and after persisting for a while, she finally succumbed to the invading darkness, her body going limp and falling into an endless abyss of blackness.
She didn’t know how much ti had passed.
In excruciating pain, the unconscious Jian Si let out a painful, broken moan.
She tried hard to open her eyes, but her eyelids felt like they were filled with lead.
She could only sll the strong scent of disinfectant and hear faint murmurs of conversation.
“Sir, the lady is pregnant.
If we proceed with the bone marrow transplant, the child in her belly might not survive.
Are you certain you want to continue?”
“She’s pregnant?”
It was the surprised voice of Lu Youting.
Jian Si, as if grasping at a lifeline, desperately tried to speak and tell Lu Youting that she was indeed pregnant, with his child, and he couldn’t disregard the child’s safety for Ye Qingqing.
But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t make a sound.
“Yes, she must be about a month along.”
Jian Si thought that no matter how cold-blooded Lu Youting was, no matter how much he disliked her, he would spare her for the sake of the child.
Unfortunately, she was terribly wrong.
“Ye Qingqing’s condition cannot wait.
Continue with the surgery, and do not stop.”
His words were like a sharp knife, piercing deeply into Jian Si’s heart.
She could never have fathod that Lu Youting would be so rciless.
For the sake of Ye Qingqing, he could disregard the life of his own child.
“But the child in the lady’s belly…”
“How can her and the child’s worthless lives compare to Qingqing’s health?
I just want Qingqing to be well.”
The harsh words completely threw Jian Si into an abyss without a bottom.
Her heart ached sharply.
Sothing hot trailed down her cheeks.
She was enveloped by despair as she had never felt before.
In that mont, she finally understood what it ant to have a heart turned to ashes.
She wanted to run, to cry out for help, but she was helpless, only able to endure the cold surgical instrunts entering her body…
