A Warm Wedding and A New Bride of Young Master Lu Chapter 921 - A Great Gamble

Chapter 921 A Great Gamble

It took Kang Ruicheng a long time to calm down. He looked at Xu Youning and said, “Okay, say it.”

“I went to see a doctor.” Xu Youning was so calm as if she were talking about others. “The doctor said that I could have an operation but the success rate was extremely low, and that I was very likely to die in the operation or become a vegetable who would never wake up.”

“No!” Kang Ruicheng’s voice seemed to come from the bottom of his heart. He growled, “A Ning, tell me it’s not true. Tell me!”

Xu Youning did not care whether Kang Ruicheng could take such a blow or not, and continued, “If I leave those two blood clots unsolved, maybe I can live longer, but… I may therefore suddenly collapse one day.”

“…”

Kang Ruicheng looked at Xu Youning in disbelief, with his eyes full of deep pain and remorse.

He could not believe that Xu Youning was so seriously ill, and at the same time, he regretted sending Xu Youning to work undercover around Mu Sijue.

If it weren’t for that wrong decision, there would not have been a gratuitous intervention in their relations.h.i.+p by a third person, and they might have been together a long time ago.

After a long while, Kang Ruicheng barely said in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “A Ning, let’s go abroad to see the best doctor. There must be a way!”

“My doctor is a very well-known professor. If he has no way, other doctors will have no way either,” Xu Youning said lightly, “so don’t waste your efforts on me.”

“But, A Ning…”

Kang Ruicheng still wanted to persuade Xu Youning. He could not just watch Xu Youning suffer from the illness.

Xu Youning interrupted Kang Ruicheng directly. “One more thing, my child is actually dead.”

Kang Ruicheng frowned in surprise. “What do you mean?”

Xu Youning pointed to her head and said, “Because of these two blood clots, the child has no vital signs. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Doctor Liu.”

After a moment of silence, Kang Ruicheng said with sharp eyes, “A Ning, are you lying to me? If Mu Sijue’s child has no vital signs, why didn’t Doctor Liu tell me about it after your checkup?”

“I didn’t allow her to tell you,” said Xu Youning sadly while lowering her voice, “for I was too sad at that time.”

“It is Mu Sijue’s child!” Kang Ruicheng asked angrily, “Why did you feel sad about his death?”

“It’s not because what you think. I just didn’t expect him to have been killed by me before I figured out how to deal with him.” Xu Youning slowly looked up at Kang Ruicheng. “How could I tell you that I killed an unborn child?”

Kang Ruicheng hugged Xu Youning and said, “It’s not your fault. A Ning, Mu Sijue’s child deserves to die. He is not lucky enough to come to this world, so it’s not your fault.”

These words of “deserves to die” completely irritated Xu Youning.

The child of Mu Sijue and her should certainly come to this world in good health.

The one who really deserved to die was obviously Kang Ruicheng!

However, Xu Youning could not show her feelings at all.

She could only nod and hide the surging hatred in her heart. She replied with a “hmm” to show that she agreed with Kang Ruicheng.

After a moment of silence, Kang Ruicheng asked, “Does Mu Sijue know it?”

“No.” Xu Youning broke away from Kang Ruicheng’s arms and said, “Mu Sijue always thought that the child was healthy, so I took advantage of it to escape from him.”

Kang Ruicheng looked quite curious. “How did you take advantage of it?”

“I pretended that I had taken Mifepristone & Misoprostol pills, a kind of medicine for abortion,” Xu Youning said calmly, “and Mu Sijue took me to the hospital for a checkup. The doctor told him that the child had no vital signs, and Mu Sijue thought that I killed the child myself.”

“And then?” It was hard to tell whether Kang Ruicheng believed it or not.

“Mu Sijue was very angry. Then I told him that I never believed his words, because I didn’t think you were the murderer of my grandma. After that, Mu Sijue was even angrier, and he wanted to kill me.” Xu Youning still looked calm, as if she and Mu Sijue were just strangers who had met by chance and had never had feelings for each other.

Kang Ruicheng sounded nervous. “Mu Sijue really wanted to kill you?”

“He said that since I’d killed his child, we would be even after he killed me,” Xu Youning said with a sneer, “but unfortunately, when he was going to shoot, he suddenly felt uncomfortable and couldn’t even hold the gun properly. I took the opportunity to leave.”

Kang Ruicheng did not seem to believe it. “Didn’t you care about him?”

Xu Youning paused and said, “I didn’t have time to care about him. A second ago, he was still putting a gun to my head. When he put down the gun, I only considered it as a good chance to escape.”

She could not tell Kang Ruicheng with disdain that she did not want to care about Mu Sijue then, and Kang Ruicheng would not believe it.

Kang Ruicheng knew that she had fallen in love with Mu Sijue.

How could she not care about Mu Sijue when he suddenly felt uncomfortable?

However, it was reasonable if she said that she first thought that it was a chance to escape, and she could also avoid answering whether she cared about Mu Sijue or not.

Sure enough, Kang Ruicheng no longer focused on whether Xu Youning cared about Mu Sijue or not. Instead, he asked, “Is this the way of your coming back?”

“Yes, this is the case,” Xu Youning said.

“…” Kang Ruicheng looked at Xu Youning and did not speak.

Xu Youning saw through what Kang Ruicheng was thinking at a glance and gave him an out. “What else do you want to ask? Just ask.”

Kang Ruicheng’s face clouded for a long time, and he said, “Mu Sijue told me that you promised to marry him.”

“Is that what you’re struggling to ask?” Xu Youning suddenly smiled, as if Kang Ruicheng had made a stupid mistake. “Mu Sijue told me that you were the murderer of my grandma. I almost believed it and agreed to marry him for the time being. It was just to delay the time, understand?”

Kang Ruicheng’s gloomy look suddenly disappeared, and he burst into laughter.

Xu Youning looked puzzled. “What are you laughing at?”

“I also told Mu Sijue that you promised to marry him just to delay the time.” Kang Ruicheng seemed to be in a good mood. “If you tell Mu Sijue this, will he be angry?”

Xu Youning suddenly remembered that when she said that to Mu Sijue, he got really angry, as if he were going to eat her alive.

Mu Sijue probably thought that Kang Ruicheng and her had a tacit understanding.

It was okay. The deeper the misunderstanding between Mu Sijue and her, the more Kang Ruicheng would believe her.

For the same reason, she took the initiative to ask Kang Ruicheng if he was the real murderer of her grandma.

Mu Sijue told Kang Ruicheng on the phone that he had already revealed to Xu Youning that Kang Ruicheng was the real murderer of Granny Xu.

However, Kang Ruicheng could not be sure whether Xu Youning believed it or not.

After coming back, before Kang Ruicheng mentioned it, Xu Youning had showed her anger and asked Kang Ruicheng if it was true.

In this way, she indirectly told Kang Ruicheng that she did not completely believe Mu Sijue’s words.

Most importantly, because she was the person who asked the question, she seized the initiative, and Kang Ruicheng could only answer her question in a hurry.

Now it seemed that she had succeeded. At least Kang Ruicheng would no longer test her.

Xu Youning looked indifferent and said, “I don’t care whether Mu Sijue will be angry or not. I only know that I escaped!”

The smile in Kang Ruicheng’s eyes spread to the corners of his mouth.

That was exactly Xu Youning’s style of doing things.

Xu Youning, whom he was familiar with and thought highly of, came back again.

Xu Youning looked at the time and said to Kang Ruicheng, “Let’s go.”

It seemed that she was not about to go back to the old house of the Kang’s family.

Kang Ruicheng could not help asking in confusion, “Where are you going?”

“Take me to Doctor Liu,” Xu Youning said, “and although I said so, but you must not completely believe it. In this case, let’s go and ask Doctor Liu for confirmation.”

Kang Ruicheng did not expect Xu Youning to say it so directly.

Yes, he did not fully believe Xu Youning.

Although Xu Youning was back and everything could be explained, it did not mean that nothing was suspicious, and no one could prove that Xu Youning was telling the truth.

What if Xu Youning believed Mu Sijue’s words and firmly believed that he was the murderer? What if she came back to save Tang Yulan and seek revenge?

Then when he was undefended, Xu Youning would kill him.

However, Xu Youning actually offered to go to Doctor Liu.

Was she so confident because she was telling the truth or because she had cleverly and perfectly hidden something?

“Kang Ruicheng, I don’t care what doubts you still have now, but I don’t like to be under suspicion,” Xu Youning said, “so let’s go and find Doctor Liu. Then you will know if I’m telling the truth or not.”

Kang Ruicheng agreed. “OK.”

After finis.h.i.+ng Xu Youning’s checkup, Doctor Liu had been placed under house arrest by Kang Ruicheng in an apartment near the outer-ring road.

It was a forty-minute ride.

However, for Xu Youning, it was done in the blink of an eye.

After getting out of the car, Kang Ruicheng directly took Xu Youning upstairs to find Doctor Liu.

Doctor Liu was surprised to see Xu Youning. “Miss Xu, is there any change in your situation?”

Yes, there was.

In the private hospital, her child had been once determined to be very healthy, but such a surprise was like a flash in the pan. This morning, her child was diagnosed with no vital signs again, just like the result of initial checkup by Doctor Liu.

Xu Youning speculated that her child was actually still alive, but the checkup result was affected by the blood clots.

All her speculations required a professional doctor to make a correct judgment.

However, Kang Ruicheng was right here, so she could not say it out.

Xu Youning just said, “Doctor Liu, please tell Mr. Kang the real result of my checkup. I don’t mind letting others know.”

Doctor Liu glanced at Kang Ruicheng, and looking into his cold and cruel eyes, she hurriedly said, “Mr. Kang, a week after Miss Xu was diagnosed with pregnancy, she went to the hospital for another checkup, and we found that her fetus… had no vital signs.”

“Also, please reveal to him that I can’t undergo labor induction. Otherwise, it will affect the blood clots in my brain.”

Xu Youning said this very suddenly.
