Love After Marriage - Chapter 234

Chapter 234 Friendship Depends On Sincerity
After Tang Luoxin heard this news, she felt as if she was dumbfounded. Her hand holding the phone slowly loosened, and the phone lost its balance and fell on the sofa.

She never thought that she would hear such news.

Little bits of her childhood came to mind in Tang Luo’s mind. Tang Group had just gone bankrupt when Ji Yuqing swept her out of the house. At that moment, she swore that she would never have any relationship with that woman again.

Afterwards, she also did it. Even if she saw Ji Yuqing, she would pretend that she didn’t see anything.

However, after hearing the news from Lu Jingnian, her heart was especially heavy at this moment. She didn’t know what to do.

She didn’t know what kind of mood she was in right now!

Hate? At that time, he really hated her!

Does it hurt? Tang Luoxin reached out and touched her heart. Her delicate face was expressionless, and she could not feel any pain at all.

Tang Luoxin half-closed her eyes and lay on the sofa. After a while, she slowly opened her eyes and reached out to rub the white tiger’s feathers. She picked up her phone and called Ji Baining.

When Ji Baining heard the ring, she took out her phone and looked at the number. When she knew that Tang Luoxin was calling, a smile appeared on her face. Her red lips gently opened and a pleasant voice slowly rang in the air, “Luo Xin, it’s so late. Haven’t you slept yet?”

“Your mother has stomach cancer. She only has three months to live.” Tang Luoxin went straight to the point.

When Ji Baining heard this, he was dumbfounded. He stared at the ground without any focus and didn’t react for a moment.

“Are you listening to me?” Tang Luoxin saw that there was no response from the other side of the phone, and her voice sounded like a silver bell again.

“Yes, yes, is it true?” After a while, Ji Baining stuttered and asked.

“Mm-” Tang Luoxin told Ji Baining everything she knew.

After she finished speaking, Ji Baining’s face was already covered in tears. Her entire body trembled uncontrollably and her hands tightly gripped her mouth. She never expected that such a thing would happen after she had only left River City for so long.

Ji Baining could not accept this fact at all.

Ji Baining recalled that Ji Yuqing only had three months of life. The tears in her eyes could no longer be controlled. She was like a pearl that had fallen off a rope and fell down.

When Ah Lin heard the sound of crying outside, he hurriedly knocked on the door. Seeing that the door wasn’t closed, he walked in and came to Ji Baining and asked, “What’s wrong? Why are you crying?”

Ji Baining heard a familiar voice. It was as if a faint light had appeared in the darkness. She suddenly stood up and threw herself into Ah Lin’s embrace.

Ah Lin was shocked by Ji Baining’s sudden action.

After a while, he hugged the woman’s shoulder and patted her back with his right hand. “What exactly happened?” He asked.

“Wuwuwu … she only has three months left. She can’t accompany me anymore.” Ji Baining looked at Ah Lin with red eyes. His hoarse voice was choked with sobs.

When Ah Lin heard this nonsense, a head of dew appeared on his forehead. There were a few black lines on his forehead. What and what! He didn’t understand a single word!

Could it be her predecessor!

Thinking of this possibility, Ah Lin hurriedly lowered his head to look at the woman and asked, “Could it be your ex?”

Ji Baining shook his head and said, “It’s my mother, it’s my mother. She only has three months left. What do you think I should do?”

Hearing the woman’s words, Ah Lin’s nervous heart slowly relaxed and said, “I’ll accompany you to the hospital tomorrow!”

When Ji Baining heard this, she raised her head and stared at the man in a daze, unable to react for a moment.

When Ah Lin saw Ji Baining’s dumbfounded appearance, a trace of doting flashed in his eyes. He reached out and gently wiped away the tears on the woman’s face. A gentle voice sounded in the woman’s ear, “Although it’s only three months, you can use these three months to not let yourself regret it.”

Hearing the man’s voice, Ji Baining woke up. Her lips slowly opened, “Will she lose her job in the resort?”

She didn’t come to the resort for long, but she liked it very much.

“Don’t worry, it’s on me.” Ah Lin patted his chest and said loudly.

“Thank you–” Ji Baining revealed a sincere expression. A trace of emotion flashed through his eyes. If it weren’t for Ah Lin’s help, she wouldn’t have walked out of her pain so quickly.

Although she couldn’t stand what Ji Yuqing had done, she was still her mother, so how could she have an overnight grudge against her?

Seeing the expression on Ji Baining’s face, Ah Lin reached out and rubbed the woman’s short hair. “Don’t think too much. Whether it’s three months or three years, as long as you don’t leave any regrets for yourself, everything will be fine,” he said.

Ji Baining nodded heavily and said, “Thank you for your consolation. If it weren’t for you, I would definitely cry until late at night. I think I know what to do!”

“Idiot, there’s no need to thank me. As long as you’re happy, it’s better than anything else!” Ah Lin’s gentle voice carried a hint of doting.

Ji Baining saw the deep affection in the man’s eyes. Her eyes flashed for a moment and she unnaturally moved her gaze away. She did not dare to look at the man’s burning gaze.

Her heart was beating like a deer, and her face was flushed with a different color.

Of course, Ji Baining knew what was going on with her. She was afraid that Ah Lin would see her ugliness, so she took a few deep breaths before the commotion in her body calmed down.

After everything returned to normal, Ji Baining sat on the edge of the bed with a bitter smile on her face. What was she thinking? Her mother only had three months of life left, yet she still had the mood to think about having children.

She had just walked out of a broken heart, so how could she be so quickly involved in the next relationship?

She and Ah Lin were just friends. She must have been too dependent on Ah Lin just now, which was why her heart was beating randomly.

After Ji Baining calmed down, her head became much clearer, and she no longer dwelled on what had just happened. She raised her head to look at Ah Lin and said, “Thank you–”

“See you tomorrow!” Ah Lin saw the strange expression on Ji Baining’s face. However, he did not think too much and walked out.

Ji Baining looked at the back of the man with a strange expression. Ah Lin didn’t have that kind of thought at all. He only treated her as a very good friend.

Ji Baining shook his head, closed the door, and slowly lay on the bed. Ji Yuqing’s appearance appeared in his mind.

Time slowly passed. In the blink of an eye, it was late at night. However, Ji Baining could not sleep.

She slowly got up, gently opened the door and walked into the hall.

Just at this moment, a loud noise came from not far away. Ji Baining was shocked. She hurriedly said, “Who is it?”

Ah Lin, who was pouring water, heard the woman’s voice. He turned on the light and revealed a wisp of surprise on his dark face. His voice was a bit hoarse, “You haven’t slept yet?”

“I can’t sleep, and I wonder how my mother’s condition is?” After Ji Baining saw the people in the hall, she lifted her feet and sat down under the sofa, her eyes a little blurry.

“Why don’t we leave tonight?” Ah Lin suggested.

When Ji Baining heard Ah Lin’s words, his face revealed a hint of surprise. His voice couldn’t help but raise a bit, “Is that alright?”

“As long as you want, you can do it at any time.” A hint of a smile appeared on Ah Lin’s dark face. The corner of his mouth slightly raised as he said.

Ji Baining hurriedly ran to the bedroom and changed his clothes as fast as he could. He walked out and said, “I’ve already changed my clothes. Let’s go!”

“Hold on a moment, please!” Arlin put the cup on the table and walked to his bedroom.

Not long after, he changed his clothes and walked out of the bedroom. He waved to Ji Baining and said, “Let’s go!”

Ji Baining nodded lightly and hurriedly followed. A trace of worry appeared on her face. She did not know what was going on there.

Thinking of this, she quickly took out her phone and called Tang Luoxin.

Tang Luoxin, who was sleeping, opened her hazy eyes and was about to answer the phone when Lu Jingnian, who was beside her, said, “Don’t move, let me do it!”

Tang Luoxin was surprised when she heard the man’s voice. She rubbed her eyes and whispered, “When did you come back?”

Lu Jingnian looked at the clock hanging on the wall. His handsome face slowly relaxed as a smile appeared on his face. His hoarse voice slowly sounded, “I arrived home an hour ago!”

“Ah–did she wake up?” Even if Tang Luoxin didn’t say her name, Lu Jingnian knew who she was asking.

“Answer the phone first!” Lu Jingnian put her phone in Tang Luoxin’s ear and said.

Tang Luoxin nodded her head lightly and held her phone. A hoarse voice sounded, “Hello–”

“Luo Xin, which hospital and ward is my mother in?” Ji Baining asked impatiently.

Hearing Ji Baining’s voice, Tang Luoxin frowned slightly and told her about Ji Yuqing’s hospital and ward.

“Luo Xin, thank you. I will return to River City immediately!” Ji Baining’s hoarse and choking voice came from the other side.

Hearing this, Tang Luoxin woke up a lot. She hurriedly sat up and leaned against the bedside table. The corner of her mouth raised slightly and said, “You’re crazy. It’s already very late. It’s been a few hours since you drove to River City.”

“However, I really want to know about her condition, otherwise I would be very uneasy!” When Ji Baining heard Tang Luoxin’s words, the tears in her eyes were like a kite that had dropped a rope, crashing down.

“Don’t worry, Dad is in the hospital, and there are acquaintances in the hospital. If there is anything, he will definitely tell us immediately.” Tang Luoxin sighed and said slowly.

When Ji Baining heard this, ripples splashed out from the depths of his heart, like the warm sun in winter.

At this moment, she didn’t know how to describe her feelings. She had done so many wrong things. She didn’t expect that Tang Luoxin would not only forgive her, but also treat her as well as before.

It turned out that true friendship did not rely on calculations and scheming, but on sincerity.

Only with sincerity can friendship last forever.

“Thank you, thank you …” Ji Baining said several times with tears in his eyes.

“What are you thanking me for? We are good sisters. If you can’t help us with this little bit of help, then what are you calling us?” Tang Luoxin’s delicate face revealed a smile as she raised her red lips and said word by word.

“Yes, we are forever sisters!” Ji Baining nodded heavily, expressing his agreement with Tang Luoxin’s words.

“It’s getting late. I won’t tell you anymore.” Tang Luoxin looked at the time and wrinkled her forehead.

After Ji Baining hung up the phone, he told Ah Lin the address of the hospital.
