Chapter 888 Where did he get a home?
Lu Jiangting: "..."
"Tell me, which of my statements was nonsense?"
"You..." He couldn't refute these things.
“I was talking about your mother. How could you be so selfish as to slander your mother just to clear your own name? I admit I've wronged you, but your mother has never wronged you.”
Lu Miaomiao found it laughable.
She scoffed, "I'm selfish? Ha, isn't my selfishness just because of you? You always say that it's a good thing I'm like you, not like my mother, and you're even proud of that, aren't you? What? Now you don't like it anymore?"
"How...how can you talk to me like that?"
"Why can't I talk to you like this? I was supposed to have a happy family, but you've ruined it all."
Lu Jiangting looked at her in disbelief.
Lu Miaomiao's phone rang, and she smiled with satisfaction after seeing something.
"Alright, I never said I wouldn't take care of you. If you're not feeling well, just stay here and rest. I've arranged for you to be hospitalized for a month, and a caregiver will come to look after you later."
After saying that, she turned and left.
But when he got to the door, he stopped again. "Oh right, make sure you put away all the receipts. I need to get them reimbursed."
Lu Jiangting felt his blood boil. "You're wasting national resources. I'm perfectly fine. I'm not going to the hospital. I want to go home."
"Home? Ha, where do you have a home?"
Lu Miaomiao said sarcastically, then turned and left.
Lu Jiangting's face was deathly pale, and he gripped the bed sheet tightly.
Family?
Where did he get a home?
Yes, he doesn't have a home.
Their old house had been abandoned for a long time and had long since collapsed.
He had never told Yuyao about the house allocated to him by his work unit. He had lent it to Fang Qing and her son before, but later simply transferred it to Fang Qing's name. They had already sold it long ago.
His later homes were not his homes either.
That was a house that Yuyao and Miaomiao bought with money transferred between them, but it was only registered under Miaomiao's name; it wasn't his home.
He has no home... He's worked hard his whole life, but he has no home.
After realizing he had no home, Lu Jiangting stopped clamoring to go home and obediently stayed at the hospital.
His medical expenses were fully reimbursed, and he didn't want to waste the country's resources, but he had nowhere to go.
The days in the hospital felt like an eternity. Miao Miao never came to see him again, but Fang Qing did visit a few times.
She always came fully covered up, and after seeing him, she would leave quickly.
She said she wanted to come and take care of him, but she was afraid of being recognized, so she didn't dare to come.
She also said that Miaomiao and Chenchen are getting a divorce, and Miaomiao wants Chenchen to leave with nothing.
They signed a prenuptial agreement, and Chenchen won't get a single penny of what she owned before the marriage.
After marriage, they had no joint property, but instead had a lot of joint debts.
Chenchen had little education and knew nothing. The lawyer put a bunch of documents in front of him that he couldn't understand, and he had no idea how he ended up with such a huge debt.
The mother and son brought all the documents to Lu Jiangting and wept bitterly at his bedside.
“We weren’t after money in the first place, otherwise we wouldn’t have signed that prenuptial agreement. But we didn’t do anything to wrong Miaomiao, so how could she scheme to put our Chenchen in such a huge debt? More than ten million yuan, even if we sold our daughters, we couldn’t afford to pay it back.”
"Jiang Ting, you have to think of a solution."
Lu Jiangting carefully examined the documents, going through each page slowly. There were no loopholes whatsoever; on the contrary, every debt was handled with great care.
He checked the time; the earliest payment was owed a week after their wedding.
This shows that she was scheming before the marriage.
She was terrifying; her ruthlessness, indifference, and selfishness terrified Lu Jiangting.
"Jiang Ting, how is it?" Fang Qing and her son were at a loss, placing all their hopes on Lu Jiangting.
Lu Jiangting took a long breath and said, "There's no problem with these debts; they're all joint debts incurred by the couple."
"Huh? This... how is this possible? Chenchen didn't see any money at all. And with such a big company that makes money every day, how could she be in so much debt?"
Lu Jiangting turned his head and stared blankly at Fang Qing. "Our matter has caused a huge uproar. The company has suffered a large number of order cancellations, and the compensation is staggering. We're almost bankrupt. The debt is only getting smaller. Even if you go to court, you won't win."
Fang Qing's face turned deathly pale, and she collapsed onto the stool.
"What should I do?"
"Unless...unless Miao Miao is willing to take on the debt on her own."
Fang Qing seemed to see a glimmer of hope and grabbed Lu Jiangting's hand, saying, "Then talk to Miao Miao and let her take on these debts herself."
Lu Jiangting looked at her in disbelief.
Fang Qing: "What's wrong?"
"You want her to shoulder a debt of over ten million yuan all by herself?"
"This……"
"She was already wronged by marrying Chenchen, and now the company is facing bankruptcy and has huge debts. Do you expect a young woman like her to shoulder this burden alone?"
Fang Qing: "..."
Lu Jiangting's gaze shifted to Wang Chenchen, "You're a man, and you think the same way? You want to absolve yourself of all responsibility and leave Miao Miao, a woman, to bear the enormous debt alone?"
Wang Chenchen was stunned for a moment, then said coldly, "What can I do? I haven't seen a single penny, and I haven't been involved in the company's affairs. It's all her debt, so why should I bear the responsibility?"
"But you two are husband and wife."
"Husband and wife? Then ask her if she ever considers me her husband. I'm like a dog by her side, trying to please her..."
"I have no money, but I have my life. I will not pay back this money."
Wang Chenchen had a falling out with Lu Jiangting and left after saying some harsh words.
Fang Qing wiped away her tears and comforted him for a long time, saying many kind words.
Tell Chenchen he didn't do it on purpose; he's just in a bad mood because of his huge debts, and ask him to understand.
Lu Jiangting suddenly felt a little tired. He had seen another side of Wang Chenchen today and suddenly realized that he was nothing like Jianjun.
Jianjun is a man of integrity and loyalty, which is why he took on the work that should have been his.
Even though he knew it was dangerous and that he would sacrifice himself.
He's always like that; he'd rather suffer a loss himself than cause trouble for others.
Thinking back on Chenchen's every move over the years, she really doesn't resemble Jianjun at all.
……
After that day, he couldn't contact Miao Miao anymore; every time he called, her secretary answered the phone.
He wanted to talk to her about divorcing Chenchen, but he never had the chance.
He was staying in the hospital, and although he didn't have any serious illness at first, he developed an illness after staying there for a while.
That day, he originally wanted to go downstairs for a walk, but he didn't expect to feel dizzy while going down the stairs and fainted.
He fell down the stairs and nearly died.
There's nothing seriously wrong with my body, but my leg is broken.
Even so, Miao Miao still didn't come to see him. On the contrary, Fang Qing came often recently. Later, Fang Qing simply moved to the hospital with him.
He originally thought Fang Qing was worried about him and wanted to stay in the hospital to take care of him.
Until that day... he accidentally stumbled upon Fang Qing meeting with a stranger, overheard their conversation, and learned the truth.
