When she saw that name, Lu Kenian felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
Cold Thunder?
How could it possibly be Cold Thunder?
Her hands suddenly lost all strength, and the documents slipped from her grasp, falling to the ground.
The feeling of utter despair was probably just like this.
"I want a son! You wretched woman! Give me a son!"
"You wretched person! I want a son!"
The words of Cold Thunder echoed repeatedly in Lu Kenian's ears.
No wonder she found that voice so familiar.
The true reason for her blindness was right here!
Cold Thunder, what do you see me as?
A mist clouded Lu Kenian's vision; it was the first time she felt such profound helplessness.
The nurse picked up the documents from the floor and patted Lu Kenian's shoulder.
"I was there on the day of the surgery too. I was responsible for asking whether to save the Guardian or the child. Mr. Cold directly told me to save the child."
Lu Kenian trembled all over.
Did he not care at all about their seven years of relationship? What was he really after?
"I heard that Mr. Cold is going to marry a Miss Chu. That Miss Chu had a car accident nine months ago, and her surgery was very critical. The doctors had to remove her ruptured Uterus to save her life. I think your son is now her son."
"What?"
Lu Kenian looked at the nurse in disbelief.
"I once overheard Mr. Cold say that he would make the perpetrator return everything that Miss Chu lost. Miss Lu, the accident that happened to Miss Chu was because of you, right?"
Lu Kenian opened her mouth, feeling as if lead had filled her throat, unable to utter a single word.
How could it be such a coincidence? The person she hit was Chu Yun?
"I didn't do it on purpose..."
"Even if you didn't do it on purpose, Mr. Cold has already come after you. Even if you're unlucky, Miss Lu, no one in this city can compete with the Cold Family. You should find another way out."
The nurse kindly advised her and sighed before leaving the ward.
After exiting the ward, she took one last look at the stunned Lu Kenian through the window and pulled out her phone to send a message.
"I've said everything you asked me to say."
Lu Kenian stood dazed in front of the window, not knowing how long she had maintained that position.
Just because she hit Chu Yun, leading to her having her Uterus removed, Cold Thunder would treat her like this?
For his beloved woman, he could so easily trample on their seven-year friendship?
Why not clarify the situation?
She didn't do it on purpose!
Cold Thunder, your heart is too cruel!
Twenty days later, City Z welcomed a wedding of the century, as the Cold Thunder of Thunder Group and Chu Yun held a grand ceremony.
The wedding was extravagantly luxurious, becoming a topic of conversation among the people, as the prince of Thunder Group married a commoner.
It truly resembled the story of a prince and a Cinderella.
On the same day, Lu Kenian left the city that had brought her so much sorrow.
The little nurse was right; in this city, no one could compete with the Cold Family. She was just a college student from a village, with no relatives in this city. What could she use to contend with the Cold Family?
As for the Cold Thunder, she had already lost hope and didn't want to argue anymore.
So be it.
Three years later
Cold Family
The elegant Cheng Ying was sitting on the sofa enjoying afternoon tea. She was the mother of the Cold Thunder and the matriarch of the Cold Family, holding a prestigious status.
Three-year-old Cold Haocheng was playing with building blocks on the mat in front of the sofa.
Cheng Ying looked at her grandson with great delight.
"Mom, I'm back!"
Chu Yun walked in cheerfully, dressed in an international luxury brand outfit, adorned with jewelry that sparkled all over her body.
"Mom, last time you mentioned you liked Xu's Pastry, so I specially bought some for you."
The servant hurriedly presented it to Cheng Ying.
Cheng Ying nodded, "How filial."
"Isn't this how it should be?" Chu Yun walked over and patted Cold Haocheng's shoulder. "Xiao Bei, come here to find Mommy."
Cold Haocheng's nickname is Xiao Bei, given by the Cold Thunder.
Cold Haocheng dropped his blocks and ran into Chu Yun's arms.
"Zhang Ma, take the young master upstairs to play. I have something to discuss with Lady," she said.
"Yes, Madam." The servant named Zhang Ma took Cold Haocheng from Chu Yun's arms and went upstairs.
Chu Yun smiled slightly and sat next to Cheng Ying. "Mom, what did you want to talk to me about?"
"Xiaoyun, Xiao Bei is already three years old. I've arranged for him to attend the best kindergarten, and he will start tomorrow. This way, you will have a bit more ease. Cold Thunder has managed the company well these past few years; it's time to focus on family. People say the best age for a second child is when the first one starts kindergarten."
Chu Yun's heart sank; so that's what her mother-in-law meant!
"Mom, actually Cold Thunder has said that one child is enough for us. This way, Xiao Bei can fully enjoy the love from both me and Cold Thunder. If we have another..."
"You young people always think too simply! How can one child be enough?"
Before Chu Yun could finish her sentence, Cheng Ying immediately interrupted her.
Chu Yun had no choice but to lower her head and obediently listen to her mother-in-law; she was a perfect daughter-in-law.
"This Xiao Bei always plays alone at home; don't you think he feels lonely? As a grandmother, it pains me to see that. Our Cold Family is wealthy and influential; having just one child isn't enough! In the future, when we're no longer around, if something happens to Xiao Bei, he won't even have anyone to discuss it with. How sad would that be..."
"What you say makes sense..."
"Our Cold Family needs an heir, that's true. Now that we have one son, it doesn't matter if the second child is a boy or a girl; at least you should find him a companion!"
Chu Yun quickly smiled in agreement. "Mom, you really think things through; we hadn't considered that."
"Just listen to me. While you're still young, have another one. If you want more children, that's fine too; who would complain about having a bustling family?"
"Mom, when Cold Thunder comes back, I will have a good talk with him. I'm going upstairs now."
The moment Chu Yun turned around, her expression suddenly changed.
She never expected that Cheng Ying would think so much; after just three years, she was urging them to have a second child!
But it was impossible for her to have a child!
Moreover, during these three years, Cold Thunder hadn't touched her at all!
On the surface, they appeared to be a loving couple, but only Chu Yun knew that Cold Thunder had never been intimate with her!
It had been three years, and they were still merely a couple in name!
As she pushed open the bedroom door, an exhausted Chu Yun heard a loud "crash."
Looking closely, she saw Cold Haocheng sprawled in front of her vanity, her cosmetics scattered all over the floor in a colorful mess.
Cold Haocheng's face looked as if he had just come from a dyeing studio!
Chu Yun closed the door and shouted angrily, "You little rascal! Are you causing trouble again?"
