The true heiress returns, and at the recognition banquet, Lu Anning publicly rejects the marriage, only to be sent to a man's bed by her "loving" mother.
"Just accept your fat...
After listening to Lin Tao's description, Lu Anning realized how dangerous it was at that time.
Tang Jingyuan took Lin Tao to drink with Fang Le and others tonight. The men were chatting happily when Tang Jingyuan accidentally saw a girl outside the door being dragged away by several men. She looked very embarrassed.
This kind of thing happened from time to time, Tang Jingyuan was not surprised and did not intend to meddle in it. But at that glance, he found that the girl looked very similar to Bai Lu.
When he chased out, Bai Lu was being dragged to the ground by several men and forced to drink. Her hair was disheveled, blood was hanging from the corners of her mouth, and even her clothes were torn.
"The man threatened to force himself on Miss Bai. Third Master had never seen such a scene before, so he went up and beat him down, then called the police. Miss Bai was deeply shocked, with multiple scrapes and bruises all over her body, and she fainted immediately."
Lu Anning held his breath, he didn't expect this to happen.
No wonder Bai Lu had such a big reaction. After all, she was still just a college student.
"She's a university intern, why would you let her go along to discuss business?"
Lin Tao shook his head. "I don't know about that. At the time, we didn't notice if anyone else from the subsidiary was present. We can't rule out the possibility that Miss Bai might have offended other colleagues."
It was true that Bai Lu was hurt, and although she felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Tang Jingyuan and Bai Lu holding hands, she was not jealous in this situation.
Tang Jingyuan stayed with Bai Lu until she fell asleep. Seeing Lu Anning still waiting at the door, he was stunned for a moment.
"Are you still here?"
He thought that Lu Anning had already gone back.
Bai Lu was in a very bad condition, and Tang Jingyuan didn't care about it at the time.
"How is she?"
Tang Jingyuan frowned: "Let's talk about it when we get back!"
The hospital arranged a nurse to keep watch over the night, and only then did Tang Jingyuan feel at ease to leave with Lu Anning.
On the way back, Tang Jingyuan remained silent. The air pressure in the car was so low that it was hard to breathe. Lu Anning wanted to speak several times, but seeing that Tang Jingyuan was in a bad mood, he swallowed his words back.
At this moment, any words of comfort would be futile. Fortunately, Bai Lu was not seriously injured.
By the time they got home, it was almost midnight.
Tang Jingyuan rubbed his eyebrows, and fatigue was clearly visible on his face.
"After Bai Lu recovers from her injuries, I will transfer her back to the secretariat, and I will personally take care of her."
His tone was not one of negotiation, but of notification.
Lu Anning paused while changing his shoes, looked up at him, and after a while, he responded.
"good."
The entire JK belongs to him. He can let anyone stay by his side and he has no right to interfere.
Lu Anning lowered her head and changed her other shoe. She hadn't done anything, but she felt incredibly tired. At this moment, she just wanted to take a hot bath and lie down for a good sleep.
"I've thought about it. I treat Bai Lu as my own sister. I owe it to Bai Yue. Even if I have to take care of her for the rest of her life, it's what I should do. I can't allow something like today to happen again. It's safest to keep her under my watch."
"JK is yours. You don't need to tell me how you want to arrange it."
"I just hope you don't let your imagination run wild. Ningning, if anything happens to Bailu, I'll never be able to rest in peace. I hope you can understand me."
Lu An Ning forced a smile: "I understand. Blame me! I shouldn't let others suffer the same fate as me just because I got caught in the rain. It's up to you to decide. You don't have to tell me about these things in the future."
Caring too much will make you feel suffocated.
She shouldn't be like this!
After saying that, she walked around Tang Jingyuan and went straight upstairs.
Tang Jingyuan's eyes followed Lu Anning's back until she disappeared at the stairs. He wanted to tell her several times that he didn't mean to blame her, but the words came to his lips and he swallowed them back.
Seeing Bai Lu being bullied today, he was indeed anxious. Until this moment, he thought of Bai Lu's panic and how she pretended to be strong in front of him, and he felt more guilty.
She was just a little girl, so he just protected her.
As long as it didn't touch on any principled issues, how much trouble could there be? He had promised Bai Yue that he would take good care of Bai Lu.
Perhaps because she was too tired, Lu Anning fell asleep soon after she lay down, and she didn't even know when Tang Jingyuan returned to the room.
When Tang Jingyuan returned to the room, he saw the person lying next to him and fell asleep. Feeling tired, he lay down beside her with his clothes on and quickly fell asleep.
In the next few days, both of them tacitly stopped mentioning Bai Lu.
Until Lu Anning suddenly saw the news that JK had acquired a company without any warning, and the first thing he did was to fire a department head, and even spread the word within the industry that no company was allowed to hire him.
Careful people discovered that this company had business dealings with JK before and the cooperation had always been very good.
Obviously, this manager in the company offended a big shot in JK, otherwise there would not be such a sudden disaster.
Lu Anning took a quick look and knew that Bai Lu was unwilling to go through legal procedures. Tang Jingyuan was finding ways to piss off Bai Lu and make an example of her to scare the monkeys, so that everyone would know that Bai Lu was the one he was protecting.
Lu Anning twitched the corners of his mouth, but he couldn't smile after all, and he no longer had the mood to continue watching the news.
Bai Lu successfully returned to JK and became an intern assistant in the CEO's office again. Lu An Ning didn't think much of it, but she was eager to run up to her and show off.
When she saw Bai Lu appear in her and Tang Jingyuan's home, she realized that something was wrong.
The Bai Lu in front of him no longer looked as fragile as she did in the hospital a few days ago. Her face was as rosy as a peach, her eyes were upturned, and she was wearing a well-fitting professional suit. She looked sunny and pure.
"Why are you here?"
Bai Lu curled her lips, glanced at the food that had just been served in the restaurant, and exclaimed, "Sister-in-law, didn't Brother Jingyuan tell you? I have to accompany Brother Jingyuan to a social event tonight, and I'm afraid he won't be able to come back for dinner with you. I'm here to get his clothes! If you don't know, I'll go find it myself."
Bai Lu pretended to go upstairs. With that posture, anyone who didn't know her would think she was the mistress of the house.
Lu Anning's face was cold, and he shouted: "Stop!"
