Chapter 170 A Doting Husband

Seeing Jiang Ning's wide eyes, Gu Lanlan shrugged helplessly.

"Don't let my seemingly carefree attitude fool you, I'm not stupid... If you don't offer any benefits, do you think Bai Yichen's mother will let you off the hook?"

Gu Lanlan gets furious whenever this matter is brought up.

"It wasn't your fault at all when Bai Yichen got into the car accident. You weren't the driver who caused the accident, so why should you pay for the medical expenses?"

Gu Lanlan grew angrier the more she thought about it and couldn't help but stand up for Jiang Ning.

"You didn't tell me, so I don't know how much you paid for Bai Yichen's medical expenses. But I know you, you must have spent a lot, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands... Now that you're in trouble, let them just forget about the medical expenses for now! It's not like Bai Yichen's family is short of money..."

Gu Lanlan believed that what she said was reasonable.

Jiang Ning smiled but didn't say anything.

In fact, the medical expenses she paid to Bai Yichen's family were not just tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of yuan.

Instead, it's ten million every year.

If it weren't for FY's dividends, she simply couldn't afford this price.

Just before she went to the United States, Bai Yichen's mother contacted her, demanding that the medical expenses be increased to 20 million yuan per year, payable every six months.

So in the next few days, she has to transfer another ten million to Bai Yichen's mother.

As a result, her studio had no choice but to file for bankruptcy.

Jiang Ning didn't talk much about Bai Yichen. Gu Lanlan knew that Jiang Ning didn't want to talk about it, so she changed the subject, and the conversation eventually turned to cursing Lu Junyan.

The next day, Jiang Ning and Gu Lanlan slept until late morning. They both slept on the floor, but thankfully there was underfloor heating, so they didn't catch a cold.

Gu Lanlan took a day off to spend time with Jiang Ning and help him relax.

People will definitely get bored if they stay cooped up indoors all the time.

However, Jiang Ning believes that they should focus on the important matters first.

So, accompanied by Gu Lanlan, she first went to the court.

As a result, before she could file for bankruptcy, the bank had already applied to the court for compulsory liquidation.

When she and Gu Lanlan arrived at the company, the bank's collection manager was already in her studio with a notary to count the assets.

"Oh my, look who it is!"

A strange, sarcastic voice suddenly came from behind.

Jiang Ning and Gu Lanlan turned their heads together and saw Chu Qingxue walking over imperiously, accompanied by Song Lili and Wang Yang.

Compared to the haggard and thin Jiang Ning, Chu Qingxue looked radiant and healthy.

"Isn't this the renowned designer Jiang Ning, featured in the world's top fashion magazine, 'Radiance'? How come... his studio has been shut down?!"

"Exactly! Jiang Ning is so talented, what's wrong with having an affair and seducing a few men during her marriage? How did she end up bankrupt and forced into liquidation?"

Song Lili and Wang Yang were being sarcastic and sarcastic.

"Where are those big shots you slept with? Why isn't one of them coming out to help you?"

If Jiang Ning hadn't stopped her, Gu Lanlan would have rushed up and slapped Song Lili and Wang Yang.

"Senior brother!"

At this moment, Chu Qingxue approached the collection manager.

"I never expected to meet you here."

When Zhao Quan saw Chu Qingxue, his eyes lit up immediately.

He was Chu Qingxue's senior in junior high school, one year ahead of her.

Jiang Ning watched as Chu Qingxue took the initiative to get close to Zhao Quan, and guessed that Chu Qingxue must have her eye on something in Zhao Quan's studio.

As expected, Zhao Quan cleared out everything else, but handed over all of her design drawings to Chu Qingxue without leaving a single one behind.

"These drawings cannot be given to her."

Jiang Ning argued that "these intangible assets can be valued and auctioned off."

"Heh!" Zhao Quan sneered, shoving Jiang Ning away rudely.

"Who do you think you are? You're bankrupt and you still think you're the boss? Let me tell you, everything in this studio belongs to our bank. If I say I can give it to you, I can give it to you."

Zhao Quan glared fiercely at Jiang Ning, then turned to Chu Qingxue with a beaming smile.

"Here, take it. You can sell it as waste paper."

Chu Qingxue thanked Zhao Quan in a sweet, coquettish voice, and stuffed all the design drawings that Jiang Ning had completed or were half-finished in Jiang Ning's studio into her briefcase.

Ultimately, Jiang Ning's studio went bankrupt and was sealed off by the court.

Watching helplessly as the studio he had built from scratch was ultimately shut down, Jiang Ning pursed his thin lips, feeling a piercing pain in his chest.

Jiang Ning didn't shed a tear.

Gu Lanlan couldn't help but tear up.

Chu Qingxue, Song Lili, and Wang Yang were still there. Gu Lanlan didn't want them to laugh at her, so she quickly wiped away her tears with a tissue before they fell.

Chu Qingxue, Song Lili, and Wang Yang laughed gleefully.

They left the China Youth Building almost together.

On the roadside, the imperial blue Bentley is particularly eye-catching.

The car window rolled down, and everyone could see Lu Junyan sitting in the driver's seat.

"Qingxue, you're so lucky! President Lu came to pick you up in person!"

"What are you saying? Qingxue is the future mistress of the Lu Group, of course President Lu has to come and pick her up. He's a real doting husband."

"Oh right, right, right."

Song Lili and Wang Yang were singing in harmony over there.

Gu Lanlan was furious.

But Lu Junyan has indeed divorced Jiang Ning, and now that he's seen with Chu Qingxue again, she has no right to say anything.

Chu Qingxue walked awkwardly toward Lu Junyan's car, but Lu Junyan inside kept his eyes fixed on Jiang Ning.

"Your company went bankrupt?"

Lu Junyan asked.

"Thanks to you."

Jiang Ning replied.

Lu Junyan was taken aback, and a cold smile crept onto his charmingly smiling lips.

"It's clearly your own messy relationships that are being used against you, what does it have to do with me?"

Jiang Ning silently watched Lu Junyan.

Lu Junyan's face is really handsome.

They are truly ruthless.

Even now, Jiang Ning couldn't help but wonder if, when she was kidnapped, Lu Junyan had chosen to save her instead of Chu Qingxue, things wouldn't have turned into Ning Junzhe running away from his wedding for her.

If that were the case, the rumors and gossip about her on the internet wouldn't have escalated to this point.

Would she have avoided losing all her savings and having her studio forcibly liquidated?

However, reality doesn't offer "what ifs".

In reality, Lu Junyan wouldn't choose to save her either.

"You're right."

Jiang Ning smiled at Lu Junyan.

Although it was a self-deprecating smile, it was also a smile of relief.

Lu Junyan didn't like that smile.

"Lanlan, what do you want to eat for lunch?"

Jiang Ning turned to Gu Lanlan and asked, but the latter was completely confused.

Jiang Ning's studio had just been shut down, and now Chu Xiaosan was taking advantage of her. Gu Lanlan still hadn't swallowed her anger, but Jiang Ning still had an appetite.

"How about we go to Chuanxiangfu for hot pot? It's on me."

Jiang Ning smiled brightly.

The words "Chuanxiangfu" immediately triggered a stomachache in Lu Junyan.

"Ah Ning, are you alright?"

Gu Lanlan took Jiang Ning's arm and asked softly.

She feared that Jiang Ning was putting on a brave face.

"The company is like my husband; out with the old, in with the new."

Jiang Ning spoke softly, and it wasn't meant for Lu Junyan to hear.

But Lu Junyan heard it.

"Junyan? Junyan, what's wrong?"

Sitting in the passenger seat, Chu Qingxue called Lu Junyan several times, but Lu Junyan did not respond at all. Only his handsome face grew more and more gloomy.
