Dating My Scumbag Ex’s Uncle

Chapter 371: Trouble

Translator: Lonelytree

Mai Qi was a little worried. “She’ll be fine, right?”

I patted her. “Don’t worry. I’ll get someone to keep an eye on her.”

Mai Qi shook her head and sighed. “How did she end up like this? She had a good family, but she insisted on marrying someone who didn’t love her. I don’t get it.”

Jing Ni said faintly, “Jing Ning was her dream since she was young. Nanyang had been scheming to snatch him away even when he was Nanxing’s fiance. Her goal in life was to get Jing Ning to notice and fall in love with her. She never cared about anything else. Do you think she’ll be able to stand this?”

Mai Qi said, “So, she would fight Ye Qian and Jing Ning to the death?”

Jing Ni sighed and nodded. “What else can she do? Nanyang has nothing left. Jing Ning doesn’t care about the child in her belly. He doesn’t even give her a bit of affection.”

I fell into silence as I listened to their conversation.

In my previous life, I was in Nanyang’s current situation. The fear I felt was one that rose from the bottom of my heart. I had no idea what I did wrong. I couldn’t get anyone’s approval no matter what I did. I could only watch as Nanyang, Jing Yan, and the others live a carefree and pampered life. I didn’t even dare to breathe too loudly.

I only wanted to share a happy life with Jing Ning. But in Jing Ning’s heart, there was first Nanyang and then Ye Qian. There was never a place for me. No matter how hard I tried to please him, it was all superfluous. Not even the baby in my stomach could shake his heart.

Everything about me annoyed him. He looked down on me. The days of being in constant anxiety cultivated endless despair. 

I could already see the shadow of my former self in Nanyang.

But I wasn’t Nanyang, and Nanyang wasn’t me. Even if I wanted to help Nanyang now, she wouldn’t believe me.

A woman could be so stupid when it came to love and family. It was true for me in my previous life, and now it was true for Nanyang in this life.

…

In the wee hours of the morning, I was woken up by my phone. It was Su Qian.

“Nanxing, something happened to Nanyang,” Su Qian’s voice was deep and calm.

“What is it?” My mind wasn’t fully awake yet. My voice was blurry.

“Nanyang went to the hotel to look for Ye Qian and Jing Ning. She had a conflict with Jing Ning and had a premature birth. She’s now in the hospital. Lu Yan was the one who brought her here.”

“Lu-lu Yan? What does this have to do with her?” My mind gradually awakened.

“Lu Yan and Gu Nian were meeting a client at the hotel. It was a coincidence.” Su Qian emphasized the word “coincidence”.

“So, what’s the situation now? Where are you?” I asked Su Qian. At the same time, I got out of bed.

“The doctor just came out of the surgical room. The situation is bad enough that he could only focus on preserving either the mother’s or the child’s life. Jing Ning told him to save the child.” Su Qian tried not to sound emotional when she spoke.

I looked at my phone. “Su Qian, send us the address. We’ll be there right away.”

I put down my phone, woke up the other two, and quickly changed.

Jing Ni and Mai Qi were still half asleep when I told them about what had happened.

Jing Ni said faintly, “How silly. Does she really want to die?”

Mai Qi rubbed her eyes. “Jing Ning is heartless! Shouldn’t he tell the doctor to try to save both of them?”

I urged them to hurry up. I felt uneasy.. Why was Lu Yan there? Were things so coincidental? Or Lu Yan had been watching in the dark? Was she there to collect the benefits?
