Chapter 366: No Regret Medicine

"This..." He Chen did not know what to do.

"Chen Qi, thank you, really thank you. Don't worry, I will definitely pay back your money," Cao Jing cried.

"It's fine, Jing Jie. Although He Chen doesn't have money, he is very good to his significant other," Chen Qi smiled and said, "But you need to be careful from now on. You must live well on your own, too."

Cao Jing took the bank card and handed it over, trembling.

"Thank you, President Chen." The big man took the bank card: "My name is Zhang Cheng. You can just call me A Cheng. If President Chen has any needs in the future, feel free to order me."

"Alright, go," Chen Yu waved his hand.

"Let's go." A Cheng gestured, and left with a group of brothers.

Chen Yu patted He Chen on the shoulder; the following matters were He Chen's own business.

"He Chen, thank you so much. I know I was wrong before, and I'm sorry to you," Cao Jing cried, "I was momentarily blinded by greed, I'm truly sorry."

"Cao Jing, it has reached this point; saying sorry has no meaning. You should take care of yourself," He Chen sighed.

"We are getting married next month. You must come then," Chen Qi smiled.

"You, are you two getting married?" Cao Jing looked at the two in shock. She was stunned; she had not expected He Chen to get married so quickly.

"Yes, we are getting married," He Chen nodded, "Qiqi, let's go."

As the two spoke, they turned and left. Cao Jing watched them, a deep sense of regret surging in her heart.

"Chen Yu, is Ruoxue with you?" After finishing the meal, just as Chen Yu was about to return, Bai Jingxian's call came through.

"No, she didn't go home?" Chen Yu checked the time; it was already eleven o'clock. Ning Ruoxue was a person with a regular schedule; she should have returned by now.

"No, she isn't answering my calls. I'm very worried right now," Bai Jingxian said somewhat anxiously.

"I'll go to her company to see what's going on. Don't worry, I'll call you when I find her," Chen Yu said.

After hanging up, Chen Yu hurried toward Ning Ruoxue's law firm. Along the way, he kept dialing Ning Ruoxue's number, but Ning Ruoxue never answered.

Worried that something had happened to her, Chen Yu slammed on the accelerator and rushed to Ning Ruoxue's law firm.

At this hour, the law firm had long since closed, and the office building it was in was pitch black. Chen Yu went up to the sixth floor and pushed the door open to enter.

The sixth floor was Ning Ruoxue's law firm. It was now empty. Chen Yu rushed into Ning Ruoxue's office and found Ning Ruoxue sitting alone at her desk, with several empty wine bottles already placed on the table in front of her.

"Ruoxue, what's wrong?" Chen Yu saw her eyes were hollow, and she hadn't even noticed him breaking in, which gave him a start.

"Chen Yu, you're here." Ning Ruoxue stared blankly at Chen Yu, and suddenly two lines of tears fell from her eyes: "She's back."

"Who?" Chen Yu grabbed her hand and said, "Tell me if something is wrong; we'll find a way to solve it."

"My mother. That woman who, eighteen years ago when my father was critically ill, seized my father's company and abandoned my father and me to be with someone else. That woman who gave birth to me but didn't raise me, the woman I have hated for eighteen years."

Ning Ruoxue's tears gushed out. She slowly collapsed onto Chen Yu's shoulder and sobbed uncontrollably: "Why did she have to come back? Wouldn't it have been enough to just act like I was dead? Isn't it better if we never see each other again for the rest of our lives?"

"It's her?" Chen Yu was shocked.

He knew about Ning Ruoxue's situation. Her father originally had a company in Shengjing, but later, when her father fell critically ill, her mother took the opportunity to seize power in the company and then abandoned her father.

Her father eventually died of grief, and from then on, only Ning Ruoxue remained. She returned to her hometown in Fengling, and more than ten years passed. Her biological mother had also married someone else, started a family, and had a son. But why was she back now?

"It's her. Chen Yu, I don't know what to do, and I don't know how to face her," Ning Ruoxue sobbed.

Ning Ruoxue was a strong-willed person; she never revealed her weak side, but now she was having an emotional breakdown, which was enough to prove how much damage that incident back then had caused her.

"It's okay, I'm here," Chen Yu pulled her tightly into his arms, "No matter what happens, I will face it with you. Why did she come back this time?"

"Miss, have you thought it through?" Suddenly, two men in suits appeared before Ning Ruoxue.

The two men were bodyguards. They said they would give Ning Ruoxue some time to consider, but in reality, whether Ning Ruoxue agreed or not, they would take her away.

"Get out," Ning Ruoxue stood up and said coldly, "Go back and tell her that I have severed the mother-daughter relationship with her. In this life, I will never see her again."

"Then I'm sorry, Miss, we must take you with us." The two looked at each other and stepped forward to grab Ning Ruoxue.

*Slap, slap. * The two men's hands retracted as if they had been electrocuted. Their arms were sore and numb, and they couldn't even lift them.

"If you dare to reach out again, I will break your arms. No one is allowed to force her to do what she doesn't want to do," Chen Yu said coldly.

The two looked at Chen Yu in shock. They hadn't even seen how Chen Yu had struck, but now their arms had no strength at all, which indicated that Chen Yu was an expert.

"Miss, the Chairwoman is critically ill; she just wants to see you," the two did not dare to use force.

"She's ill?" Ning Ruoxue suddenly raised her head, a sharp pain in her heart. After all, mother and daughter share a bond; even though she hated her, her heart couldn't help but ache upon hearing of her condition.

"Yes, the Chairwoman is very ill. The doctor said she only has half a year left. She just wants to see you one last time in her final days; there really is no other meaning," one bodyguard said.

"You go out, I'll consider it," Ning Ruoxue sat to one side, staggering.

"Go and see her," Chen Yu walked to her side and held her hand, "It's been eighteen years. I think she must regret her decision back then. Even if she is detestable and cruel to you, she is, after all, the person who gave birth to you."

"Regardless of anything else, in her final moments, she wants to see her daughter. You should fulfill this wish."

"I don't know if I should forgive her, but she... only has half a year left," Ning Ruoxue's expression was pained, "Hate is hate, but she is my biological mother."

"Yes, she is your biological mother. For that reason alone, you must go see her. Come, I'll go with you," Chen Yu held her hand.

Ning Ruoxue hesitated for a long time, but eventually nodded slightly.

In a private hospital in Fengling, in an exclusive ward.

A woman lay on the hospital bed. She was over fifty, her face pale, her body extremely frail. She wore an oxygen mask on her mouth. If not for the heartbeat and blood pressure displayed on the instruments, anyone seeing her might even suspect she was a dead person.

She was Ning Ruoxue's biological mother, Lv Fang. When Ning Ruoxue saw her, she was filled with shock.
