Chapter 9: The So-Called Strength is Two-Faced

Chu Ning’s decisive words left the doctor puzzled.

The doctor asked Chu Ning, “Mrs. Zhou, what are your specific eye symptoms? Can you explain them more clearly?”

He felt like Chu Ning had seen something, or something else.

Chu Ning dared not speak of those things.

She felt that if she spoke, people would only think she was crazy.

“Just examine me.”

The doctor was helpless, but he patiently examined Chu Ning.

After half an hour of examination, nothing was wrong.

Leaving the ophthalmology department, Chu Ning’s expression was once again dazed.

She felt she was probably going crazy.

A nervous breakdown, her mind wasn’t right, that’s why she saw those things.

“Chu Ning, you goddamn… you’re practically looking for death!”

Zhou Chenhao, who suddenly appeared, threw the examination report in Chu Ning’s face.

He believed it, thinking Chu Ning would really die.

He took Chu Ning’s examination report, wanting to find an expert team to save her.

To keep her alive, so that he, the scumbag ex-fiancé, would feel less guilty.

But he didn’t know that he didn’t have time to assemble an expert team.

A doctor friend, after reviewing the report, told him that Chu Ning only had a common heart condition.

As long as she received treatment, she wouldn’t die.

Hearing this, Zhou Chenhao was furious.

He thought it was all a ploy by Chu Ning and Tang Siqi.

He was so angry he wanted to tear Chu Ning apart.

At this moment, throwing the report in Chu Ning’s face still didn’t relieve his anger.

“I know you’re scheming, marrying me for the Zhou family’s money.”

When Chu Ning got engaged to him, the Zhou family gave the Chu family two hundred million yuan as a dowry.

Besides that, there were also houses and storefronts.

It can be said that the prominent Chu family, because of their marriage with the Zhou family, has now joined the ranks of the wealthy.

Their status in Beijing is now different from before.

“But I never imagined you’d be so unscrupulous.

You actually bribed a doctor to fabricate a medical condition to deceive me, Chu Ning, you’re such garbage!”

His words were like a torrent of abuse, raining down on Chu Ning.

Chu Ning was truly wronged.

It was all Tang Siqi’s idea.

It had nothing to do with her.

However, Tang Siqi’s starting point was for her own good.

Therefore, Chu Ning didn’t want to explain anything.

She remained silent, accepting everything.

She let Zhou Chenhao vent.

“Aren’t you very strong? You said you would let me go?

So your so-called strength is just a two-faced act, different in public and private?”

Zhou Chenhao felt tricked, very dissatisfied with Chu Ning’s behavior.

He cursed Chu Ning again, wanting to vent his resentment completely.

Chu Ning’s heart was bleeding.

However, her mind became clearer.

She knew that Zhou Chenhao didn’t deserve her love.

Letting go was cutting her losses.

Her clear gaze was fixed on Zhou Chenhao’s face.

She kept asking herself, why did she fall for such a scumbag like Zhou Chenhao?

She was really blind.

Chu Ning didn’t know how long she stood there.

She only knew that she didn’t want to waste her breath on Zhou Chenhao.

Until she left, leaving Zhou Chenhao with her cold back.

Openly ignoring Zhou Chenhao’s attitude filled him with irony.

“Not speaking, Chu Ning, what’s your attitude?”

She was shameless enough to use her illness to cling to him.

Why was her attitude suddenly so cold towards him?

Chu Ning ignored him and left the hospital.

Zhou Chenhao was dumbfounded.

“Damn it.”

He cursed angrily.

His clenched fists felt like he wanted to destroy the entire hospital.

His assistant, Xiao Ding, stepped forward.

“Mr. Zhou, please calm down, no matter what Madam did, it was because she loves you.”

A bystander sees more, Xiao Ding knew that Zhou Chenhao’s investigation of Chu Ning was because he cared about her.

“You also care about Madam, otherwise, you wouldn’t have asked me to investigate whether she was seeing other men behind your back.”

Zhou Chenhao was in a rage.

Hearing his assistant’s words, his anger flared even more.

“I don’t care about her at all. If you say that again, I’ll cut your tongue out.”

Zhou Chenhao, in a fit of rage, spoke with sarcasm.

The assistant quickly said, “Okay, I won’t mention it again. I won’t mention anything about Madam and other men.”

Hearing this, Zhou Chenhao’s brows suddenly furrowed.

He was clearly angry at Chu Ning.

But he was still so pathetic that he desperately wanted to know if Chu Ning had betrayed him.

“Tell me, who is the man behind her?”

Zhou Chenhao coldly ordered his assistant.

The assistant knew Zhou Chenhao was angry.

He didn’t want to add fuel to the fire.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Zhou, I haven’t found anything.

Madam wasn’t seeing any other men behind your back.”

Zhou Chenhao was doubtful, “No?”

Could she have suddenly changed like this without a reason?

“Absolutely true.”

“Keep investigating.”

Zhou Chenhao didn’t believe it.

“Okay.”

•  

The sun was blazing.

Chu Ning walked alone on a tree-lined path, her whole body was numb with cold.

Especially her heart, cold to the bone.

Her phone rang suddenly, Chu Ning took out her phone.

It was her mother’s call. Chu Ning hesitated several times before answering.

“Mom.”

“Ningning, I heard you had a fight with Chenhao?”

“We broke up.”

“Broke up?”

The other side was shocked, somewhat unable to accept it.

But Chu Ning affirmed, “Yes, I broke off the engagement with him. From now on, our Chu family and the Zhou family have nothing to do with each other.”

Thinking of something, Chu Ning said calmly to her mother.

“Also, Mom, the dowry the Zhou family gave our Chu family should be returned.”

“This…”

Chu Ning’s mother hesitated.

“Okay, I’ll discuss it with your father and brother, and we’ll return it soon.”

“Thank you, Mom.”

“Ningning, come back. I heard you rented a house outside.

It’s not as comfortable as home.

Come back home, the Chu family will always be your home.”

“I’m fine, Mom, you don’t have to worry.”

After saying that, Chu Ning quickly hung up the phone.

She was afraid that if she continued, she would burst into tears.

When she liked Zhou Chenhao and desperately wanted to marry him, her parents and brother strongly opposed it.

They all thought she would be at a disadvantage marrying the playboy Zhou Chenhao.

But she was adamant.

Because of this, she even fell out with her family.

In the end, she ended up like this.

She had self-respect, even if she was trampled and abused by Zhou Chenhao.

She didn’t want her parents to see her in such a state.

No matter what, she didn’t want to bring negative emotions back to the Chu family.

Chu Ning felt exhausted, and just wanted to go to sleep.

However, when she took a taxi back and stood at the door, she suddenly hesitated.

Her hand holding the key was stiff.

She was afraid that when she opened the door, she would see something she shouldn’t.

Or, she would go back to the old times.

But she had no way to retreat.

Chu Ning could only grit her teeth and enter.

Fortunately, when she opened the door, everything was normal.

Chu Ning, relieved, was somewhat incredulous.

She cautiously went to the bathroom, and everything was normal.

“Thank goodness.”

Chu Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

After taking a shower and changing into fresh pajamas, she fell asleep.

However, as she was half asleep, half awake.

She heard an unfamiliar voice.

“Did you hear? Our Battalion Commander Fu gave up returning to the city for a woman.”

“Really? Who is that woman?”

“No mistake, you’ll know when he brings her back.”
