"What happened to the car?"
"I think there's an accident. Oh my god, there's a lot of blood. Isn't that the president of Jian's Company? Didn't he get interviewed by a magazine or something? What on earth happened?"
"Get on the phone and call 911 already!"
And the phone was made.
The ringtone of the mobile phone at the bedside pulled Jian Ning back from the dream. She gasped and sat up.
She just had a dream so real, in which her father was in a car accident.
Jian Ning pressed her temple. Recently, she didn't know what had happened to her. Not only was she especially sleepy, but she also had incessantly strangely real dreams.
The mobile phone at the bedside was still ringing constantly. Jian Ning looked at the number. It was her Second Uncle.
"Jian Ning, come to the hospital. Your father had a car accident and was seriously injured. When he was put on the ambulance, he was already... And your mother, she fainted upon hearing it!"
Jian Ning's head buzzed. For a moment, everything was empty, and she didn't even have time to think about why what she had dreamed of turned into reality. She rushed to the hospital.
When she arrived at the hospital, she saw a doctor coming out of the operating room and taking off his mask.
"Doctor, my father..." Jian Ning stumbled and ran over.
"Sorry, we have already done everything within our power. He was already... a lost cause when he arrived. This might sound harsh but you might as well prepare for his funeral, I'm deeply sorry for your loss."
Jian Ning's legs were so weak that she almost fainted. Jian Zhenghai, Ning's second uncle, who had been waiting for her for a long time, quickly held her up. "Jian Ning, hold on, your mother still needs you."
"Yes! Doctor, where is my mother?" Jian Ning burst into tears and grasped the doctor's sleeve with hope in her eyes.
Although her mother had a heart condition, she had been recovering well these years. As long as she took medicine in time, there would be no problem.
The doctor was about to answer when a nurse's voice came from the corridor. "Doctor! Doctor! The patient in Room 213, she's had a cardiac arrest!"
"How come? Hasn't she just been stabilized?" The doctor shouted and hurried over anxiously.
Jian Ning was forced to loosen his sleeve and turned around with a dull look, watching the doctor running into the ward. A large group of nurses poured in, who assisted the doctor with the defibrillator.
It was noisy in her ears, yet she seemed to hear nothing, just staring at the scene without blinking.
Until she heard the doctor's sympathetic words, which were exactly the same as what he had said when she lost her father, "Sorry, there was nothing we could possibly do for her."
Step by step, Jian Ning wanted to approach her parents' bodies, but everything went black and she passed out completely.
It was the next day when she woke up.
When she opened her eyes, she saw a female doctor standing in front of her with a notebook in her hand. "What are you, eighteen? And already pregnant? At such a young age? How could you girls these days be so irresponsible about your own bodies? Ah?"
These short words were like a sudden clap of thunder. Jian Ning, who wanted to get up and find her parents, was severely fixed on the hospital bed.
"What?"
"Pregnant?"
"Look at it yourself. It's been almost a month." The female doctor threw the examination report to her. "You are just a kid yourself, enlighten me on how you plan to raise one yourself? Only cared about taking off the pants, not a single thought about the aftermath, huh?"
Jian Ning clenched the knuckles of her hand, holding the report, and looked incredulous. "Doctor, could this be a mistake? I've never... had any... sexual intercourse with my boyfriend."
Jian Ning choked with sobs when it came to her boyfriend.
It wasn't that she was lying. She just didn't know whether He Sinan was her boyfriend anymore.
Three months ago, He Sinan and his friend were racing when his car went out of control and darted off the track. He was seriously injured and had ever since been unconscious. Although the operation was successful, he had forgotten her, instead, he fell in love with her second uncle's daughter, her cousin Jian Xinling.
During this period of time, she had done everything she could think of to remind He Sinan of her, but not only did it not work, it also caused his annoyance.
"Not your boyfriend? Then other men? Anyway, you are indeed pregnant now. Make up your mind about what you wanna do about it."
Jian Ning squatted down painfully and felt that everything that had happened since yesterday was like a nightmare, making her plunge from heaven to an inferno.
Jian Ning was in a daze, so she could only go to her second uncle to discuss it.
She found the stairs and found that not only her Second Uncle was there, but also her Second Aunt, Zhao Xiuer, and their daughter, Jian Xinling, were also there.
These were her few remaining relatives. Jian Ning was just about to go when she heard their voices.
"You can rest assured." Zhao Xiuer said with a smile, "I personally injected the poison into my sister-in-law's body. It took no more than 10 minutes for it to kick in. I could ask you the same question, there's no loose ends, eh?"
"No, don't worry. But my brother, he's a tough f*cker, huh? The crash didn't kill him so I had to use that hammer I grabbed with me and whacked him a dozen times. S*it, do you know how much blood that sucker spilled on me? D*mn."
"By the way, Xinling, did you talk to Sinan? After all this mess, there will be reelection for president at the Jian Group. If your father can get the He family to invest, the throne is your father's to take!"
"I've told him long ago. Don't you know how much Sinan likes me now? Just wait, the He family will invest the first thing tomorrow."
"My attagirl! After we get the family, you will officially be Lady Jian from now on. As for Ning, she's disappeared for a while some time back, right? We are spreading words about her, how she'd been screwing men all over the city. By the time it's all done, there ain't a godd*mn thing she could do, ha!"
Jian Ning stood outside the door, trembling with anger, and teetering. She kicked the door open with a "bang".
