Chapter 489: Chapter 487 Mrs. Lu_1

"Xingxing is here!" Seeing her always improved the old man’s terrible mood.

"Grandpa, please calm down. What if you get sick from anger?" Xia Ningxing comforted him as she helped him to sit on the sofa.

The words of Xia Ningxing were always able to reach the old man: "Xingxing is right, I need to calm down. It wouldn’t be worth it to fall ill because of that little beast!"

"Yes," Xia Ningxing agreed, smoothing things over.

Then, she caught Lu Fan’s pleading look.

Xia Ningxing tentatively asked the old man, "Grandpa, what do you think about not grounding Lu Fan anymore?"

"Can’t we just talk things over nicely?"

"Xingxing, don’t get involved in this matter, it’s muddy water, and you shouldn’t wade into it," the old man rarely rebuffed Xia Ningxing’s opinion.

Hearing this, Xia Ningxing understood that the old man was looking out for her best interest.

The situation with Tao Tao wasn’t great; if she insisted on pleading for both of them and getting the Lu Family to accept Tao Tao, she would certainly be blamed by Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu.

Expecting them to let their son marry a woman who could not bear children, as if they wanted their main line to die out—such heart deserves punishment!

Even if Xia Ningxing had no ulterior motives, she would be suspected of having them.

How could Xia Ningxing not understand the stakes involved?

She sighed and stopped talking.

Seeing that even Xia Ningxing’s pleading was in vain, Lu Fan gave a wry smile.

It seemed that this time, it was really tricky.

After Lu Fan was taken away, Xia Ningxing no longer wanted to stay there.

"Grandpa, I have things to deal with at the company, so I’ll be going," she said as she got up from the sofa.

Instead of staying there uselessly, she’d rather hurry up and go through more medical books to try and find a cure for Tao Tao’s infertility.

"Go ahead," the old man was afraid she might plea for the couple, and he didn’t want her to be blamed, so he was eager for her to leave that troublesome place right away.

"Juanzi, go with Xingxing," he said.

The old man also sent Aunt Lu away, to keep her from exerting her efforts fruitlessly.

"Got it, Dad," Aunt Lu understood the old man’s intentions.

After everyone left, Aunt Lu bit her teeth in frustration:

"Dad, I must find a way to separate those two. I can’t let her ruin Lu Fan’s entire life. I will personally find that woman tomorrow."

Don’t blame her for being ruthless; put yourself in her shoes, and you would understand her feelings.

Her son wasn’t just some worthless trash, so why should he marry a woman like that!

At those words, the old man sighed deeply.

"Remember to speak kindly to her; she is also a pitiful person," he said.

Aunt Lu promptly replied, "Don’t worry, Dad. As long as she’s willing to leave Lu Fan, not only will I refrain from doing anything excessive to her, but I will also arrange a future for her."

Mr. Lu nodded and didn’t say anything more, standing up and heading inside the house.

...

In the hospital.

Tao Tao was holding a book and reading.

Xia Ningxing walked in.

Tao Tao immediately put down the book and looked at her: "Xiaxia, you’re here."

As she spoke, she continued to look forward with expectation.

Lu Fan hadn’t visited for quite a few days, whether she called him or texted him, he didn’t reply.

"Stop looking, Lu Fan didn’t come." Xia Ningxing, fully aware of what she was hoping for, sighed immediately and put the bouquet of flowers she was holding into the vase next to her bed.

Upon hearing those words, the light in Tao Tao’s eyes visibly dimmed at a noticeable speed.

"Did something happen to him?" Then, as if realizing something, she raised her eyes to seek confirmation from Xia Ningxing.

To keep her from worrying, Xia Ningxing lied, "He’s fine, nothing’s wrong."

"You’re lying." For once, Tao Tao was wise: "If he was really fine, then why wouldn’t he come to see me? Please tell me, is his family giving him a hard time because of me?"

It wasn’t hard for Tao Tao to guess this much.

After hesitating for a moment, Xia Ningxing realized she couldn’t deceive her anymore, so she finally just nodded.

"Is it because of me?" Tears welled up in Tao Tao’s eyes.

"It is..." Xia Ningxing sighed again.

Tao Tao couldn’t help but bite her lip, displaying an expression of deep guilt: "I had anticipated that his family would never approve, and thought I was prepared to be unaccepted. But when the day really came, I found out that it still hurt so much..."

"Xiaxia, I know I don’t deserve Lu Fan, so please tell him and the Lu Family for me that I am willing to break up with him. Ask them to stop locking Lu Fan away."

Because of love, Tao Tao was willing to let go.

Even though it hurt tremendously.

"What are you talking about? I won’t be party to ruining a relationship, and besides, Lu Fan won’t agree to break up with you either. Come on, don’t think like that anymore, everything will straighten itself out in the end," Xia Ningxing consoled her earnestly, her slender hand patting Tao Tao’s shoulder.

Then she took out several packages of medicine from her bag: "Taozi, don’t lose heart. I’ve prepared another prescription for you, and I think this one might be effective."

If it were any of her infertile patients, Xia Ningxing could absolutely guarantee that after taking her medicine, they would surely conceive.

But Tao Tao’s constitution was so unique that she dared not make any guarantees.

Tao Tao couldn’t hold back her sobs as she took the medicine: "Xiaxia, thank you. I haven’t been able to bring any benefits to the company, and instead, I just keep troubling you. I really feel very embarrassed."

Xia Ningxing, however, said, "Who told you that you haven’t brought any benefits to the company? At the dance competition you recently participated in, you won first place, which has qualified you to join the national dance troupe, you’ve brought both fame and profit to Starlight."

"I, I won first place?" Tao Tao’s face was filled with astonishment.

"Yes."

Xia Ningxing nodded affirmatively: "Once your injuries are healed, you can officially join."

"That’s wonderful! That’s so wonderful!" The sadness on Tao Tao’s face finally washed away a lot, and she broke into a smile through her tears.

"Taozi, everything will be alright. As for Lu Fan, I’ll find a way to persuade Grandpa to let him out," Xia Ningxing said, holding her hand once more.

"Thank you, thank you..." At this moment, other than these two words, Tao Tao really didn’t know how to express the gratitude she felt in her heart.

Xia Ningxing patted her hand and then glanced at the time: "It’s getting late, I should go now. I’ll come to see you again tomorrow."

"Okay, Xiaxia, take care on your way," she responded.

Xia Ningxing left as she had said she would.

On the hospital bed, Tao Tao couldn’t help but sigh.

Just then, the door opened again.

Thinking it was Xia Ningxing, Tao Tao said subconsciously, "Xiaxia, you’re back? Did you forget something?"

As she spoke, she lifted her head, but when she saw who it was, her voice instantly stopped short.

"Mrs., Mrs. Lu."

She stuttered.

Though Tao Tao had never met Lu Fan’s mother before, she had heard that she was the chief of the OB/GYN department at the hospital, so she recognized her by the name tag on her white lab coat.
