Scumbag Forcing Me to Divorce? Watch Me Turn Around and Marry a Powerful Capital Tycoon! - Chapter 19

Everything happened so suddenly.

Even Shen Jingshu, who had been mentally prepared, never expected her brother to actually faint.

Her brother’s health had always been good. But now, seeing him collapse unconscious on the floor, tears instantly welled up in Shen Jingshu’s eyes.
With red-rimmed eyes, she cried out, “Jingnian, Jingnian, are you okay? Jingnian, wake up!”

No matter how desperately she called his name, Shen Jingnian gave no response.

Shen Jingshu looked at Yun Haotian, tears streaming, “Xiaotian, Xiaotian, do you think your uncle was poisoned by my cooking?”

If only she hadn’t cooked for him.

“No, Mom, don’t say that! Look at Uncle—I’m calling 911 right now.”

Yun Haotian stayed calm enough to dial emergency services.

About ten minutes later, the ambulance arrived.

After understanding the situation at the hospital, Jingnian was immediately rushed into surgery.

Outside, Yun Haotian and Shen Jingshu stood anxiously, their hearts pounding.

Shen Jingshu paced nervously, praying to God, then turned to Yun Haotian.
“Xiaotian, you need to contact that young lady right now! Since she diagnosed your uncle with ‘Qi-Yin depletion syndrome’ and said he’d faint before nine tonight, she has to be able to save him!”

“Mom, what if Uncle didn’t faint because of Qi-Yin depletion? Don’t jump to conclusions yet—let’s wait for the doctors,” Yun Haotian said, still unable to fully believe Jiang Ning’s words.

He thought Shen Jingnian fainting was just a coincidence.

Jiang Ning looked no older than seventeen or eighteen.

And Lin Fuhua was a renowned miracle doctor. It was obvious who to trust.

Finally—

The surgery room door swung open.

A masked doctor stepped out.

Shen Jingshu and Yun Haotian immediately rushed over.
“Doctor, how is my uncle (brother)?”

The doctor removed his mask.
“The patient’s condition is extremely complicated. He’s suffering from severe Qi-Yin depletion syndrome. Because he didn’t get timely medication, his lungs are badly damaged. He arrived too late. Your family members need to prepare yourselves mentally.”

Prepare ourselves mentally?

What?!

Hearing that, Shen Jingshu felt as if the sky was collapsing.

How could this be?

Yun Haotian staggered back several steps, pale as death.

It really was Qi-Yin depletion syndrome.

Exactly as Jiang Ning said.

What now?

Yun Haotian’s face drained of color.

Shen Jingshu grabbed the doctor’s hand.
“Doctor, please, you must save my brother! He’s all I have!”

The doctor sighed.
“Now we can only wait for a miracle.”

Shen Jingshu nearly fainted from crying. After the doctor left, she glared at Yun Haotian.
“It’s your fault! Your fault! I told you to contact that girl, but you ignored me! Xiaotian, if anything happens to your uncle today, I will never forgive you!”

Yun Haotian panicked.
“Mom, I—I’ve already started searching for her contact info…”

No one knew how much he regretted it now.

He regretted throwing away the note Jiang Ning gave him.

Even more, he regretted treating her kindness so poorly.

If he could turn back time, he’d treat Jiang Ning like royalty!

“What? You didn’t even keep her contact info?” Shen Jingshu slapped Yun Haotian across the face.
“Bastard! You’re such a bastard! I taught you long ago—always leave yourself a way out! What have you done?”

Yun Haotian was filled with guilt. He dared not say he not only lost her contact info but had seriously offended her.

He could only hope Jiang Ning wouldn’t hold a grudge.

When Yun Zhengyi arrived at the surgery room, he saw his wife beating their son.
He hurried forward and pulled them apart.
“Jingshu, calm down. What happened? Has Jingnian come out yet?”

“Spoiled child, spoiled by your indulgence! He’s like this because of you!”
Shen Jingshu was so angry she hit Yun Zhengyi too.

Yun Zhengyi didn’t dare resist.
While taking the beating, he lowered his voice and asked Yun Haotian,
“Xiaotian, what exactly happened?”

Yun Haotian looked miserable.
“Dad, this is really my fault…”

Hearing that, Yun Haotian realized the gravity of the situation.
He quickly tried to calm his wife down.
“Jingshu, hitting us won’t solve anything. Let’s calm down and figure this out together.”

Just then, Yun Haotian’s phone suddenly rang.
He immediately pulled it out and eagerly said, “Hello, Assistant Zhang, have you found that young lady yet?”

Hearing this, Shen Jingshu lowered her hand, her eyes full of hopeful anticipation.

In this information age, with complete surveillance footage, it wasn’t hard to track down Jiang Ning’s identity.
Assistant Zhang’s voice came through the phone quickly.
“We’ve found her. The girl you met outside the café is named Jiang Ning. I’ve just sent her address and phone number to your WeChat.”

“Got it, thanks,” Yun Haotian said, hanging up immediately.
He looked at Shen Jingshu and said, “Mom, you and Dad wait here at the hospital. I’ll go get Miss Jiang right away!”

“Go! Even if you have to kneel and beg her, bring her back to me!” Shen Jingshu pushed Yun Haotian toward the door.

Jiang Ning was now their brother’s only hope.

“I know, Mom! I swear I’ll bring Miss Jiang back,” Yun Haotian cried.

A man’s tears don’t fall easily—only when his heart is truly broken.

Right now, Yun Haotian was truly scared.
He feared that one moment of carelessness might cost him his uncle.

After Yun Haotian left, Yun Zhengyi learned about the situation from his wife.

He patted her shoulder gently.
“Don’t worry. Jingnian is a good man with fate on his side. Xiaotian will definitely bring Miss Jiang here.”

Then he added, “By the way, should we tell your mother?”

His brother-in-law was in a dangerous condition.

If they told their mother, she might worry.
If they didn’t, and something happened…

Yun Zhengyi was torn.

“No,” Shen Jingshu refused outright.
“My mother is still in the hospital herself. She absolutely cannot know about this!”

Things were chaotic enough already.
If their mother found out, it wouldn’t solve anything; it would only make things worse.

Besides, Mrs. Shen was elderly. If she couldn’t bear the blow, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Yun Zhengyi nodded.
“Okay, I’ll trust your judgment.”

…

Meanwhile—

Yun Haotian floored the accelerator, running several red lights on the way, rushing to Jiang Ning’s residential complex as fast as possible.

He stood at the gate, took a deep breath, then mustered his courage to knock on the door.

A few seconds later, the door opened.

“Young man, who are you looking for?” the elderly Mr. Jiang asked Yun Haotian.

Yun Haotian replied respectfully, “Hello, sir. Is Miss Jiang Ning home here?”

Hearing that Yun Haotian was looking for Jiang Ning—and seeing how neatly he was dressed, not like some troublemaker—Mr. Jiang didn’t ask further.
He turned to call inside, “Ningning, someone’s here for you.”

“I’m coming,” came Jiang Ning’s voice.

She appeared, calm and composed.

Seeing her, Yun Haotian felt a spark of hope and said excitedly,
“Miss Jiang.”

Compared to Yun Haotian’s excitement, Jiang Ning remained completely unfazed.
She glanced at him and said simply, “Wait for me two minutes.”

Though he didn’t understand why, Yun Haotian nodded obediently, “Okay.”

Mr. Jiang smiled, “Young man, come inside and wait.”

“Thank you, sir,” Yun Haotian replied, but his mind wasn’t on sitting.
“I’ll wait for Miss Jiang right here.”

Two minutes later,

Jiang Ning came out carrying a medical kit.
She greeted her grandfather, telling him she was going out for a while, then looked at Yun Haotian, “Let’s go.”

Yun Haotian froze for a moment, still catching up.

Jiang Ning cut straight to the chase,
“The more you hesitate, the more danger your uncle is in.”

Snapping back, Yun Haotian followed her footsteps as they headed out.
He asked nervously,
“Miss Jiang, are you not mad at me?”

He’d offended her badly.

Anyone else would never forgive him easily—he’d probably have to kneel and beg for forgiveness.

Yun Haotian braced himself for Jiang Ning’s anger.

But Jiang Ning didn’t care at all.

She neither mocked nor scolded him—not a single word.

He realized then how narrow-minded he had been.

He shouldn’t have expected others to think like him.

Thinking back to his attitude toward Jiang Ning earlier that day, guilt flooded his face.
He wished he could just crawl into a hole and hide.
