novelSo Happy That You've Lost It?

Initially, his assistant had wanted to ask what happened, but after hearing Lu Jinnan's heavy panting, he quickly replied, "I understand, President Lu. Don't worry, I'll get it done right away!"
After hanging up the call, the assistant quickly went to take action...
Lu Jinnan had said to stop all financial assistance given to them. The assistant was a little hesitant about this. Should he also remove the financial support paid to Hong Jinyun's hospital?
But what President Lu had said was everything...
Thinking about how harsh Lu Jinnan's tone had been earlier, he didn't dare call him to ask anymore. After thinking about it, he decided to make the call and stop everything!
After all, everything should include even the hospital payments.
...
The face of Hong Jinyun's mother was pale, and the moment she entered the ward, she locked the door.
When she turned and saw Hong Jinyun watering the plants, she quickly put down her bag and walked over."Jinyun, your chance is here!"
When Hong Jinyun heard her mother's voice, she turned."What?"
She saw that half of her mother's face was flushed red, and there was clearly a handprint on it.
Hong Jinyun's smile stiffened."Mom, what happened to your face?"
Hong Jinyun wanted to touch it, but her mother grabbed her hand.
Hong Jinyun's mother didn't care about the slap mark on her face and grabbed tightly onto Hong Jinyun's fair hand, patting on it."Bai Xiaonian might have had a miscarriage!"
Hearing this, Hong Jinyun was stunned for a moment. The word "miscarriage" rang out in her mind, and she asked anxiously, "Mom, you went to look for Bai Xiaonian? It can't be that her miscarriage is related to you, right?"
Hong Jinyun was so scared that her face had turned pale.
She was clear what Bai Xiaonian meant to Lu Jinnan!
She had been with Lu Jinnan in the past and could see clearly that Lu Jinnan loved Bai Xiaonian much more than he had loved her in the past...
If something really were to happen to Bai Xiaonian's child, Lu Jinnan would probably not let her mother off.
"What has it got to do with me? I wasn't the one who pushed her over... Bai Xiaonian fell by herself!" Hong Jinyun's mother told Hong Jinyun the entire story.
By the time she had finished, Hong Jinyun had stiffened up as she stood there, her face pale.
"What's the matter? You're so happy that you've lost it?" When Hong Jinyun's mother spoke, she couldn't hide the excitement in her eyes."The only reason Bai Xiaonian could hang onto Lu Jinnan was because of that flesh in her stomach! Now that it's gone, given Lu Jinnan's pity toward you... as long as you put in some effort, you'll definitely be able to become Mrs. Lu!"
Hong Jinyun's countenance didn't improve after hearing her mother's words. Instead, it turned even grimmer."Mom... after the fuss you've created, Jinnan might just give up on helping us! The child in Bai Xiaonian's stomach is Jinnan's flesh and blood! I've told you many times... I don't harbor any other thoughts toward Jinnan. Moreover, Jinnan was nice to arrange accommodation for you and to make hospitalization arrangements for me. He's the one paying for everything! This is because he's taking our past ties into consideration! If you continue to do this... you'll expend all of it!"
"Are you a fool? Because of Lu Jinnan, you became addicted to drugs and haven't been able to kick the addiction even now. All the horrible encounters you had later on were because you were Lu Jinnan's woman! You were raped and had to go to an illegal clinic for an abortion, and when problems occurred, you were forced to have your uterus removed! This was all because of Lu Jinnan!"
Hong Jinyun was in no mood to listen to her mother's words. Her heart felt as if it had been cut by a knife. She had no idea how Lu Jinnan would see her. Would he think that she had harbored feelings for him and got her mother to go? What if Bai Xiaonian lost her child and Lu Jinnan shifted the blame onto her...
"Mom..."
"You foolish girl, listen to mom! As long as Lu Jinnan still feels pity and guilty toward you, you won't be defeated! No matter how angry Lu Jinnan is, as long as he can come and see you, remember to bring up the past more often! With that, you'll be able to grab hold of Lu Jinnan!"
"Why would I want to grab hold of Lu Jinnan?" Hong Jinyun couldn't hold back her fury, and her pitch went up higher, tears welling up in her eyes."I'm going to die soon, so why should I grab hold of him? After I got addicted to drugs... Aren't you aware of how many men I've slept with in order to earn money to buy drugs? You were the one who made the arrangements! I'm already so dirty, so how can I possibly be worthy of Lu Jinnan?"
"But all of this was because of Lun Jinnan!" Hong Jinyun's mother argued with Hong Jinyun. She held onto Hong Jinyun's face."Daughter, you must spare some consideration for mom. You're the only daughter I have. If you leave this world, how am I going to live without anyone to depend on? I'll only be able to have someone to depend on in the future if Lu Jinnan becomes my son-in-law..."
Hong Jinyun looked at her mother. She had always known that her mother was selfish...
However, when she was feeling the most helpless and was in the most dejected phase of her life, her mother had brought her to her side. Her mother couldn't bear to see her harming herself because she couldn't kick the drug addiction, so she went to gather money to buy drugs for her even though it was a crime.
Even though her mother was selfish, it was true that she... couldn't leave her mother alone!
Her mother had spent all of her money on her. If she were to die... what would her mother do in her old age?
However, the one thing that Hong Jinyun didn't wish to do was make use of Lu Jinnan. She didn't want Lu Jinnan to hate her either!
Feeling torn, Hong Jinyun sat on the sofa dejectedly, her hands clutching tightly onto her hair.
Hong Jinyun's mother squatted down in front of her."Look... everything that we have now comes from Lu Jinnan's guilt toward you and the ties that you had. If you're no longer around, do you think that Lu Jinnan will still care about me?"
"I'll beg him!" When Hong Jinyun raised her head again, she was crying."Mom... I beg of you, don't go looking for Bai Xiaonian anymore. Don't dream about the things that don't belong to us. I'll use the ties I have with Lu Jinnan... and beg him to take care of you. Won't that be enough?"
"Even if Lu Jinnan is willing, do you think that Bai Xiaonian will be?" Hong Jinyun's mother grabbed onto Hong Jinyun's shoulders with her hands, shaking her."Wake up, Hong Jinyun! If you die... all the ties that you have will gradually dissipate with time, even disappearing completely! However, Bai Xiaonian will be with Lu Jinnan every day. If Bai Xiaonian were to say something to him... there'd be no one to care about your mom even if I were to die! Unless... I'm Lu Jinnan's legitimate mother-in-law! You're the only daughter I have. If you aren't around... it won't be right for him to not take care of me! But if I'm his ex-girlfriend's mother, don't you think that... it's ridiculous to have Lu Jinnan take care of me?"
Hong Jinyun lowered her head, feeling upset. She covered her face with her hands.
"If Lu Jinnan comes and looks for you, just say that... the greatest wish that you have in this lifetime is to get married to him. You no longer have much time to live, and your only wish is to get married. Get Lu Jinnan to grant your wish, and say that you won't affect the relationship between Bai Xiaonian and Lu Jinnan. After you die, he can continue to be with her! Given Lu Jinnan's pity toward you..."
