The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief
Chapter 636 - 129: Don’t Regret If She Divorces You By Then
CHAPTER 636: CHAPTER 129: DON’T REGRET IF SHE DIVORCES YOU BY THEN
At this moment, Zuo Yuqing’s agent, Xu Hong, had just returned from the restroom. Seeing the scene, she was initially stunned. Her gaze fell on Song Qiao, who was surrounded by people not too far away, but then she quickly withdrew her gaze and ran towards Zuo Yuqing and Lu Jingchen with a nervous tone, "What happened? Yuqing, what’s wrong with you? Young Master Lu!"
When Zuo Yuqing was picked up by Lu Jingchen, much of the color had drained from her face. She felt herself in a broad embrace, filled with a strong masculine scent, causing her to involuntarily feel teary. Looking up at his strikingly handsome face, she unconsciously glanced at Song Qiao, who had been pushed to the ground not too far away, but then withdrew her gaze. Her lips moved slightly with a somewhat stiff tone, "Jingchen, how did you get here?"
Lu Jingchen’s lips were tightly pursed together. Looking down at Zuo Yuqing in his arms, whose face had lost its color, his jawline was tight as he said naturally, "I just happened to be passing by, I’ll take you to the hospital."
Then he turned to Chen Hong and said lightly, "Call the hospital first, I’ll take her there immediately."
He didn’t clearly see what happened just now, only knowing that Zuo Yuqing was pressed down to the ground by someone.
Subconsciously, he looked in the direction of the person who was previously pushed aside by himself but his brow furrowed, as the area was crowded and he couldn’t see clearly who it was.
Upon hearing Lu Jingchen’s words, Xu Hong immediately took out her phone in a fluster and dialed 120.
When Qin Zhe and An Ke came out, Lu Jingchen had just left the Huayi building with Zuo Yuqing heading to the hospital. Seeing Song Qiao lying unconscious on the ground, both were immediately shocked and frantically dialed 120 because they dared not move him, not knowing where he was injured.
They vaguely heard from the people around that it was about the popular actress Zuo Yuqing, and also somewhat heard it was Lu Jingchen, the CEO of CK Group, who had pushed Song Qiao aside.
An Ke was almost scared to tears, and even Qin Zhe’s face didn’t look good.
In the City People’s Hospital, Lu Jingchen stood inside the ward looking at Zuo Yuqing lying on the bed, his expression indifferent, "Now that you’re all right, I’ll be leaving first."
Zuo Yuqing wasn’t really injured, just that she might have sprained her wrist when she fell and used her hands to break the fall.
Hearing Lu Jingchen was leaving, Zuo Yuqing’s expression changed. From the moment he brought her to the hospital, he had stayed with her here for more than half an hour, she couldn’t help but blurt out, "Jingchen, are you very busy with work?"
Lu Jingchen, for some unknown reason, felt very irritable at this moment as if something was urging to erupt from his heart, his eyebrows knitting together as he replied naturally and simply, "Yeah."
Since after the checkup it was confirmed that apart from her wrist being sprained, there were no other injuries, Zuo Yuqing’s expression lightened considerably. Knowing that she couldn’t keep him from leaving, she smiled and said, "Alright, you’ve got things to handle, go ahead. Thanks for bringing me to the hospital back at Huayi!"
The man picked up the coat that had been placed beside him, his lips parting slightly, his response undisturbed, "It’s nothing, you should rest well. When you’re ready to be discharged, just go through the discharge procedures and head home."
"Alright!"
...
When Lu Jingchen sat in the car, he still felt very anxious. Instead of starting the car immediately, he took out a cigarette from the car drawer, lit it, and took a drag between his fingers.
Mysteriously, he felt as if he had overlooked something, as if he had missed something important.
But he couldn’t figure out at the moment where exactly this feeling was coming from.
He reached for his phone that he had put aside, scrolled through the contacts, and when his gaze finally landed on Song Qiao’s phone number, he finally understood what he had overlooked.
He had originally come to Huayi for Song Qiao, wanting to surprise her, yet when he saw Zuo Yuqing injured, he had forgotten his initial intention.
The black Bentley Mulsanne was parked in the hospital’s parking lot. Lu Jingchen’s lips tightly pursed, he immediately dialed Song Qiao’s number and put the phone to his ear, but the phone rang for a long time without an answer.
His expression grew even grimmer, looking at the phone that was automatically hung up; without hesitation, he dialed again, but still, no one answered.
A surge of anger rose within him, seemingly about to burst forth, about to start the car, his gaze, however, saw a figure rushing out from the hospital, squinting as he looked over, directly lowered the window, only to see that the figure dashed straight towards a just stopped taxi, then a woman got down from the car.
Lu Jingchen squinted his eyes as he watched Lu An’an just getting out of the car and An Ke running out from the hospital. He was puzzled why An’an would appear here at the hospital and wasn’t that girl one of the artists under Song Qiao’s management?
Knowing that Song Qiao and Lu An’an had a good relationship, and having had dinner together previously where the situation of Qin Zhe and An Ke was revealed, Lu An’an sometimes took great care of them both.
Although An Ke had the company’s phone, when Song Qiao was pushed into the operating room, she immediately called Lu An’an first.
Upon receiving the call from An Ke, Lu An’an hurried to the hospital. As soon as she got off the car, she saw An Ke coming out with her eyes a bit red, and with a startled expression, Lu An’an quickly approached and asked, "How’s Qiaoqiao?"
An Ke had clearly just cried, she shook her head, "Sister An’an, Sister Qiao might have injured her waist, she just came out from the operating room and I didn’t understand what the doctor said. Qin Zhe is taking care of Sister Qiao now!"
Lu An’an frowned and headed straight into the hospital in her high heels, her voice a bit cold, "How could she get injured for no reason? What exactly happened?"
"We don’t know. Qin Zhe and I were at an audition, and while Sister Qiao was waiting outside for us, when we came out after the audition, we saw Sister Qiao lying unconscious on the ground. However, when we came out, it seemed someone mentioned that it was related to the famous actress Zuo Yuqing..." An Ke continued to relay what they had heard when they came out, about Zuo Yuqing and Lu Jingchen. After she finished, her eyes reddened again, she said, "Sister An’an, I’m sorry, we failed to protect Sister Qiao!"
"It’s not your fault," knowing that An Ke and Qin Zhe were at an audition, surely it was irrelevant to them. Lu An’an’s expression turned stern as An Ke had mentioned Zuo Yuqing, and it surely must have involved her. After thinking, she took out her phone, and only when they arrived at the door of the hospital room did she speak to An Ke, "Don’t tell anyone else about this for now, you go in first and take care of Sister Qiao, I’m going to make a call and also ask the doctor."
"Okay!" An Ke didn’t ask more and obediently walked into the ward.
As she dialled a familiar number on her phone, Lu An’an looked unhappy. When the call was answered, without waiting for the other person to speak, she directly asked, "Jingchen, where are you now?"
Who would have thought, Lu An’an is Lu Jingchen’s sister, albeit half-siblings.
At this moment, while sitting in his car in the hospital parking lot, Lu Jingchen’s brows were tightly furrowed, feeling a bit of a headache, it took him a while before he calmly asked, "An’an, what’s up? Is there something wrong?"
Lu An’an tried to keep her temper in check, almost grinding her teeth, "Are you still at the hospital now?"
Lighting another cigarette and placing it in his mouth for a puff, Lu Jingchen responded with a weary look and hummed affirmatively.
Thinking that he was there accompanying that woman Zuo Yuqing, Lu An’an instantly flew off the handle, "Brother, Qiaoqiao is your wife, yet you’re treating her like this because of that bitch Zuo Yuqing, are you planning to be with that bitch Zuo Yuqing?"
Hearing Lu An’an’s words, Lu Jingchen’s expression darkened, his voice also lowered, proving his current mood wasn’t good. "An’an, what are you talking about?"
Thinking of that bitch Zuo Yuqing stirring up trouble again, compared to Zuo Yuqing, she liked Song Qiao more, always treating Song Qiao as her dear sister. Previously she was thrilled to learn about Song Qiao marrying her brother.
Now, just when she hadn’t even completely rejoiced, Song Qiao ended up hospitalized because of Zuo Yuqing and her own brother.
At this moment, her mood was even worse than Lu Jingchen’s, her teeth clenched as she said, "You’re still protecting Zuo Yuqing. Brother, Qiaoqiao ended up in the hospital because of you, right? If Qiaoqiao wakes up and finds out about this, if she decides to divorce you then don’t you regret it, I’ll just introduce some talented young men to Qiaoqiao then..."
Hearing Lu An’an’s words, Lu Jingchen’s expression changed, grasping the key point in her words, his voice carrying a restrained tone, "An’an, are you saying Qiaoqiao is in the hospital?"
Lu An’an was taken aback, subconsciously mumbling an affirmation, then paused before speaking, "Brother, wasn’t Qiaoqiao hospitalized because of you?"
The man’s jaw tensed tightly, his eyes murky and unclear. Clutching the cigarette in his hand, he forcefully snuffed it out, his voice conveying a tight tension, "Which ward is she in now?"
Lu An’an hesitated for a moment, but ultimately obediently told Lu Jingchen which ward Song Qiao was in.
After hanging up the phone, Lu An’an couldn’t help but furrow her brow, having heard what Lu Jingchen said, she felt this matter was very suspicious. Based on what An Ke said, it should have been her brother who pushed Qiaoqiao aside.
Could it be that An Ke heard wrong?
