Chapter 734: Chu Ning Jumps into the River

Minmin, you just let Chen Yang stay alone in Xingcheng like that?

What's there to worry about? Someone reports his every move to me every day.

You just got married; being apart too long isn't good. I think you should go to Xingcheng. Although life there isn't as convenient as in Modu, after all it's also a provincial capital—it won't wrong you.

Auntie, are you overthinking? Chen Yang is just going back to Xingcheng to handle official duties; he'll be back to Modu soon. I'm pregnant, running back and forth for him is so troublesome!

Minmin, you're just too spoiled. Back when your uncle worked at the grassroots, I happened to be pregnant with your younger brother. As a result, he almost got involved with a country girl fairy. If I hadn't discovered it in time, your aunt would have been replaced.

Ah, really? How come I never heard my uncle mention it?

He has the nerve to bring this up? If it weren't for your mom forcing him to kneel and apologize to me, your cousin would be gone!

... No wonder you've always been so good to me; it seems my mom saved your marriage.

Hehe, I can now have clothes brought to me and food served to me, all thanks to your mom's teaching. They say as long as you make your uncle wash his stomach a few times, he won't let me into the kitchen anymore, and will reduce my social engagements outside.

... My uncle is really pitiful!

You feel sorry for him? Do you think my aunt isn't worth him putting in a little more effort?

No, no! Aunt is beautiful as a flower, gentle and kind; I'm the one who married up!

Hmph, that's about right. But you really need to listen to your aunt. Chen Yang is even more outstanding than your uncle was when he was young; if you don't keep an eye on him, your marriage will sooner or later have problems.

Auntie, I really hadn't thought of controlling him too tightly. As long as he treats me well, I don't mind if there are a few women around him. If it weren't for the child coming so suddenly, I'd be traveling abroad right now.

How can you think like that, kid? If you keep indulging him, when that fox spirit comes out, you'll regret it too late.

I definitely won't regret it. Chen Yang's net worth is over tens of billions; divorcing me would split half his assets. What kind of woman is worth him making such a sacrifice? And on top of that, it's after offending the Chu and Wang families.

Mm, what you say also makes sense. Chen Yang's ability to earn money is strong, but it's impossible for him to just give away half his assets for nothing.

But I think you still need to go to Xingcheng. Don't forget, that Chu Ning girl still harbors designs on Chen Yang. If she goes to Xingcheng, given how the Chu family patriarch dotes on her, you'll be like a mute eating coptis—you'll have suffering but can't speak it out.

No way? Will grandfather agree?

I remember when Chu Ning girl was dating Chen Yang, your grandfather also first opposed then tacitly allowed it, right? How could it not happen this time? Don't forget, your marriage to Chen Yang, Chu Ning is still in the dark. She goes to find Chen Yang, but has no psychological burden at all!

……

Xingcheng, Chen Yang, who had been in meetings all day, dragged his fatigued body back to his villa, only to unexpectedly discover a familiar Ferrari parked at the gate.

He slightly furrowed his brows, hesitated for a while, and finally let Bai Ruonan open the car door.

After not seeing each other for several months, Chu Ning's beautiful face had become gaunt and pallid; looking at Chen Yang, her eyes were full of confusion and sorrow.

How did you come here?

This place used to be my home too; why can't I come?

But you already chose to abandon this home!

I regret it!

Regret is too late; I've already married Chu Min!

What did you say?

I said I've already married Chu Min. She's also pregnant with my child.

Child? Did you marry her because of the child?

Even without the child, as long as she's willing, we would still marry.

Hehe, looks like it's just my belly being useless. Back then, if I had also been pregnant, my mom wouldn't have forced me to marry into the Tang family, and you wouldn't be with my sister. Right?

Chen Yang didn't answer Chu Ning's question. In this world, there aren't that many 'what ifs'. He only knew how resolute Chu Ning had been when she left back then. Her phone was off, she didn't reply to messages, and even the breakup was conveyed by Chu Min.

Since you're already married, I won't disturb you. Chu Ning said "goodbye" and then drove off directly.

Chen Yang couldn't rest easy; he immediately had Bai Ruonan drive to chase after her. If Chu Ning had an accident in Xingcheng, he would bear no responsibility, and the Chu family wouldn't believe him.

After returning home, Chen Yang separately called Chu Min and Luosen to inform them that Chu Ning had gone to Xingcheng. After that, he continued to call Bai Ruonan to get the latest updates on Chu Ning's whereabouts. Only after learning that she had driven her car onto Jiangmen Dao did he finally let out a relieved breath.

After Yexin left, the East Jiang Business Alliance Villa didn't disband; its supporting facilities remained intact. If Chu Ning were willing to spend a night there peacefully, that would be the best outcome for him.

After dawn, the Chu family people would probably also have arrived in Xingcheng. After that, he wouldn't need to worry anymore.

However, Chen Yang was still too optimistic. At 1 a. m., Bai Ruonan suddenly called, saying Chu Ning had jumped into the river!

Chen Yang instantly lost all sleepiness from fright; he immediately had the bodyguard drive him to Jiangmen Dao.

When they arrived at the East Jiang Business Alliance Villa, Chu Ning had already been pulled from the river by Bai Ruonan, soaking wet and lying motionless on the villa's sofa.

Chen Yang glanced at Bai Ruonan and saw that besides her coat being dry, the inside was soaked through. So he took out a set of his own clothes from the villa's lounge and had her first change out of her wet clothes.

After Bai Ruonan left, Chen Yang angrily said to Chu Ning: "Do you think using such extreme methods can solve the problem? By doing this, you haven't considered your parents, your older brother, and your grandfather? If they knew you were this foolish, how distressed would they feel, do you know?"

"My affairs don't need your management!" Chu Ning coldly retorted to Chen Yang, then turned her head toward the inside of the sofa.

Chen Yang saw her deliberately ignoring him, sighed helplessly. Between them, after all, they had once had a passionate romance; even if the breakup process wasn't dignified, it was impossible to let the other party go to self-harm.

After Bai Ruonan finished changing clothes, he went to Chu Ning's former lounge and found a set of casual clothes for changing, forcibly replacing her wet clothes.

During this process, he was also bitten hard by her.

In the past, Chen Yang would surely have spanked her without hesitation. With Bai Ruonan present, he could only grit his teeth and endure.

As long as he could wait safely for the Chu family's arrival, he would be thanking heaven and earth.

Of course, he also knows very well. No matter who the Chu family sends this time, he cannot escape a calamity.
