Even the billing staff lost their patience.
"Miss, do you have any money at all?"
"I'm sorry, I rushed to the hospital and didn't have time to bring any. I'll call my family right away and ask them to bring some!"
Chu Yun could only leave the counter apologetically.
She didn't think much about it, assuming that perhaps the one million from the Cold Thunder hadn't arrived yet.
But for now, she needed to leave the hospital, so she called her mother.
"What did you say? You divorced Cold Thunder? You silly girl! Have you lost your mind? Why would you leave such a wealthy family behind? What do you want?"
"Mom, I can't explain everything in just a few words. I'm in the hospital and need to pay for medical expenses. Please send me some money right away. I promise I'll pay you back, it's just a little over a thousand."
"No! You divorced Cold Thunder; won't he give you money? I'm telling you, go reconcile with him immediately, or we won't have a daughter like you. You finally married into a rich family, and now you're letting it slip away!"
"Mom! You keep scolding me, but why don't you ask why I'm in the hospital and how serious it is? I've given you so much money, and now when I ask for just over a thousand, you say you don't have it? Are you really my biological mother?!"
"No! Let me tell you, Chu Yun, the money you've given to the family is what you're supposed to do. Don't expect us to support you after your divorce!"
Beep beep beep...
The call was unexpectedly disconnected.
Chu Yun felt disheartened.
These were her biological parents. When she married the Cold Thunder, they were insatiable in their demands, and now that she was divorced, they didn't even recognize their own daughter!
What kind of biological parents were they!
Because she was with the Cold Family, she had lost contact with her previous friends, and the friends she made afterward were all wealthy wives. Now that she was divorced from the Cold Thunder, she naturally couldn't rely on them anymore.
Chu Yun thought for a moment and quietly left the hospital.
The house that was transferred to her name from the Cold Thunder was quite valuable; it was spacious and in a prime location. By current market prices, it was worth at least several million.
Fortunately, she still had a house and wouldn't end up on the streets.
The Cold Thunder had taken her there once, so she knew the address.
However, when she tried to open the door with the key, it just wouldn't budge.
"Strange? Why can't I open it?" Chu Yun remembered that this was indeed the key.
Just as she stood at the door feeling helpless, someone suddenly approached.
A man came over with a group of people.
"I don't want any of the renovations in this house; tear everything down and give me something new." The man at the front saw a strange woman standing at his doorstep and immediately asked, "Who are you? What are you doing at my house?"
"You say this is your house?"
"Yes, I just bought this house."
"This is my home!"
"Don't joke around! This is my newly purchased house; I just signed the contract and paid in full!" The man said as he pulled out a sales contract from his bag.
Chu Yun clearly saw the stamp of the Cold Family on it!
She felt as if she had been struck by lightning!
Cold Thunder, didn't you give me this house?
Why did you sell it again?
"Move aside, move aside!" The man pushed her aside and entered with the renovation team, holding the keys.
Chu Yun stood at the door, her eyes vacant.
"It's over, I have nothing left. You really won't let me go, you really..."
She had gone from being a wealthy lady to having nothing at all, not even recognized by her biological parents!
M City
After successfully proposing, Lin Xiao was beaming with joy. He immediately returned to M City after finishing his work arrangements in City Z, and the first thing he did was to find his fiancée.
After a long journey back, when Lu Kenian saw Lin Xiao as he opened the door, she smiled slightly.
"Why did you come back so suddenly without saying anything in advance?"
"I wanted to give you a surprise," Lin Xiao said with a bright smile.
"I'm having noodles with Xiao Nan. I'll go cook some more for us to eat together," Lu Kenian moved aside to let him in.
"Great!"
Lin Xiao walked into the room and sat down at the dining table, pinching Lu Xiaonan's chubby little cheeks.
"Xiao Nan, Uncle bought you a toy. I'll get it for you later."
"Okay, thank you, Uncle Lin!" Lu Xiaonan remained obedient and cute.
Lu Kenian went to the kitchen to cook noodles.
"Uncle Lin, my mom hasn't been happy lately," Lu Xiaonan said, scooping up the messy noodles with her spoon, getting sauce all over her face.
"Not happy? Why?"
He had clearly said on the phone that once he returned, they would go get their marriage certificate!
Lu Xiaonan pouted and shook her head. "I don't know either. She just stares off into space all the time. Oh, wait a moment!"
Saying this, Lu Xiaonan slid off her chair and ran to the bedroom. A moment later, she came back holding a pen.
"She always stares at this pen, and I don't know why."
Lu Xiaonan spread his hands and shrugged.
Lin Xiao took the pen and looked at it; it was engraved with the three characters "Si Zeng Nian."
His heart sank, and he immediately understood.
Lu Xiaonan put the pen back and obediently sat down to eat.
"Uncle Lin, please help me cheer up Mom. I don't want her to be unhappy."
"Okay." Lin Xiao replied while patting Lu Xiaonan's head.
"All done." Lu Kenian came out with a bowl of noodles and placed it in front of Lin Xiao, handing him a pair of chopsticks.
"Mom, I'm full!" Lu Xiaonan finished the noodles in his bowl and slid off the chair to watch TV.
Only Lin Xiao and Lu Kenian were left in the restaurant.
"Have you been doing well while I was away?"
Lu Kenian nodded, "Pretty good."
"That's good. How is Xiao Nan's arm?"
"In a few days, we can go to the hospital for a follow-up check."
The two exchanged a few polite responses. Lu Kenian's answers were measured, neither too much nor too little, but Lin Xiao felt that something was off.
" Lu Kenian, let's go register tomorrow."
"Ah?" Lu Kenian was momentarily stunned. Although they had agreed over the phone that they would register for marriage once Lin Xiao returned.
"Weren't we supposed to do this?"
"Yes, but I thought since you just got back, it would be better to wait until you've rested a bit. This isn't urgent."
"But I'm anxious. I'm afraid my wife will run away. The hospital gave me two days off, so we'll register tomorrow and the day after, I'll take you and Xiao Nan out for a stroll."
"Oh..."
"Then it's settled. I'll come pick you up tomorrow."
"...Okay." Lu Kenian's expression was somewhat dazed.
After finishing dinner, Lin Xiao sat for a while before leaving. Even though he had decided to get married, he didn't want to put Lu Kenian in an awkward position, so he returned to his own place.
That night, Lu Kenian tucked Lu Xiaonan in and lay in bed, tossing and turning.
Unable to sleep, she opened the drawer and took out the pen.
