Chapter 122 Finding a New Boyfriend

"I heard you're getting married, congratulations."

Lu Junyan offered his congratulations, but his smile was forced and insincere.

Before Ning Junzhe could speak, Fu Xinyue interrupted:

"Thank you, I've already given the wedding invitation to Miss Jiang."

"Oh?" Lu Junyan raised an eyebrow, glanced at Jiang Ning who was behind him, then turned back to ask Fu Xinyue:

"Miss Fu only invited Jiang Ning? Wasn't I invited?"

Upon hearing Lu Junyan's words, Fu Xinyue's face immediately showed an exaggerated expression of surprise.

"Mr. Lu, what are you saying? Aren't you and Miss Jiang family?"

When Fu Xinyue said this, everyone present fell silent, and the atmosphere became indescribably strange.

Lu Junyan shrugged and smiled, then turned to look at Jiang Ning again.

"So... there are people in this world who don't know you're going to divorce me!"

Jiang Ning frowned, not understanding whether Lu Junyan meant to blame her for spreading rumors about their impending divorce, or something else.

Actually, she doesn't remember telling everyone she met that she was getting a divorce.

After all, in the public eye, divorce is not a good thing.

Among those present, including Fu Xinyue, more or less had heard some rumors.

Fu Xinyue didn't care whether Jiang Ning and Lu Junyan divorced or not.

But she hoped the two wouldn't get divorced.

Because once divorced, Jiang Ning would become single. Even if Ning Junzhe gave up Jiang Ning for the Ning family, Jiang Ning might still have feelings for Ning Junzhe.

"Miss Jiang, you didn't notice that the wedding invitation I sent you was for just you and President Lu!"

After Fu Xinyue's reminder, Jiang Ning realized that she hadn't carefully checked the list of invitees when she received the wedding invitation.

Since Fu Xinyue personally handed her the wedding invitation, she naturally assumed that she was the only person invited.

"If Mr. Lu wishes, I can give you another invitation for one person."

After Fu Xinyue finished speaking, she saw Lu Junyan shake his head.

"No need."

He turned to face Jiang Ning.

Their eyes met.

"I'll go with you on the wedding day."

Jiang Ning remained silent, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Lu Junyan's charming smile curved his lips into an even deeper arc.

"After all, we are a married couple sharing a wedding invitation."

At first glance, Lu Junyan's words seemed reasonable, but upon closer examination, they implied that he and Jiang Ning would not divorce until the day of Ning Junzhe and Fu Xinyue's wedding.

Jiang Ning opened his mouth and gasped.

There are too many outsiders around right now; it's not appropriate to discuss this with Lu Junyan.

However, she didn't want to wait until after Ning Junzhe and Fu Xinyue's wedding to finalize the divorce.

Behind her, Fan Yali looked at Chu Qingxue with a worried expression.

Chu Qingxue had a dark expression on her face and was gritting her teeth inwardly.

Jiang Ning understood the meaning behind Lu Junyan's words, and so did she.

Although she had Lu Junyan's promise to give her a formal status, she believed that Lu Junyan would not go back on his word.

However, as long as Lu Junyan doesn't divorce Jiang Ning, she can't openly and legitimately proclaim her status as Mrs. Lu.

So what exactly is she?

Chu Qingxue was anxious, and so was Fan Yali.

She initially thought that Lu Junyan was eager to divorce Jiang Ning as soon as possible because he referred to her as his "ex-wife".

However, just a short while later, Lu Junyan said that he and Jiang Ning were "husband and wife".

Fan Yali couldn't figure out what Lu Junyan was really thinking.

It wasn't appropriate for a group of people to block the entrance of a restaurant, so Fu Xinyue took Ning Junzhe's arm and walked into the restaurant.

Lu Junyan and Chu Qingxue first saw Chu Qingxue's parents off.

Jiang Ning and Yuan Pei went down the elevator to the underground parking lot.

Before getting into his car, Jiang Ning heard Yuan Pei loudly apologize:

"sorry!"

Jiang Ning frowned, his expression not looking good.

"Why are you apologizing to me?"

"Because...because..."

"Because you already knew that Lu Junyan and Chu Qingxue were coming here to eat."

"You found out?"

Jiang Ning nodded and crossed his arms.

"So why did you bring me here on purpose? Was it so that I would see Lu Junyan and your most respected sister-in-law showing affection and make me back down?"

"No, no."

Yuan Pei quickly waved his hand, not expecting Jiang Ning to misunderstand so thoroughly.

"I want you to understand that Brother Lu is not worth your love."

Yuan Pei was stunned after saying this, and Jiang Ning was also stunned.

However, once words are spoken, they are like water spilled; once said, they are said, and Yuan Pei had no intention of taking them back.

Jiang Ning stared at Yuan Pei's face for a while and felt that Yuan Pei didn't seem to be lying to her.

"There's no need for all this in the future. I don't love Lu Junyan anymore anyway."

Jiang Ning tasted bitterness as he said this.

"Really?" Yuan Pei was skeptical.

"real."

"So... it's true that you sold the 10% stake in the Lu Group that Brother Lu originally wanted to transfer to you after the divorce to Mo Yan?"

Jiang Ning looked at Yuan Pei in surprise, but then she thought about it again. Mo Yan and Chu Qingxue could both spread this matter, so it was not unreasonable for Yuan Pei to have heard about it.

Moreover, Yuan Pei said "sell," but what she actually wrote was a free transfer, which shows that Yuan Pei was just repeating what others said.

"right."

Jiang Ning readily admitted it.

She found it a bit troublesome to explain.

"You're being too ruthless!" Yuan Pei's lips twitched violently. "That's 10% of the Lu Group's shares! Do you know that Mo Yan tried to short the Lu Group a while ago? If he succeeded, plus this 10% you gave him, the entire Lu Group would have to change hands to Mo. That's a huge deal..."

Jiang Ning listened silently to Yuan Pei's words, recalling that night when Lu Junyan angrily threw the guarantee she had written in her face.

"Jiang Ning... do you... hate Brother Lu that much?"

Jiang Ning looked up at Yuan Pei, his eyes saying it all.

"Do you think I shouldn't hate him?"

Yuan Pei opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"Then... if you hate him, you should hurry up and find a new boyfriend so that Brother Lu will regret it."

Yuan Pei's suggestion surprised Jiang Ning.

"Anyway, try not to associate with that guy Mo Yan in the future. He has bipolar disorder. He was fighting every day in high school. He has even hit women. Brother Lu and he don't get along the most."

"Mm." Jiang Ning nodded.

Even without Yuan Pei saying anything, she didn't want to see Mo Yan again.

Yuan Pei said that Mo Yan had bipolar disorder, but when she kicked away her cane, Mo Yan didn't seem to be having a breakdown.

Therefore, Jiang Ning saw Mo Yan as simply bad.

After finishing their conversation, Jiang Ning drove away.

Yuan Pei watched Jiang Ning's white BMW 3 Series drive away before returning to his own car.

It was already completely dark outside Harrow Department Store.

The night view of City A is magnificent and dazzling.

The upscale residential community, Waterfront Mansion.

Chu Qingxue returned, carrying various gift bags from international high-end luxury brands.

These were all bought for her by Lu Junyan.

It contains clothes, jewelry, perfumes, watches, and more.

Her shopping trip alone could cost the equivalent of an average family's house.

It was precisely because Lu Junyan was generous with her money that her mood improved.

The house was quiet. Chu Gang had already gone to bed, and Chu Qingxue assumed that Fan Yali was also asleep. However, when she finished showering and changed into her pajamas, she heard a knock on the door.

Chu Qingxue opened the door and saw Fan Yali standing in the doorway.

"I have something I want to tell you, about you and Lu Junyan."

As Fan Yali spoke, she entered Chu Qingxue's room.
