Chapter 191 Making Lu Junyan Bankrupt

The huge bedroom was completely silent.

Jiang Ning remained silent, while Ning Junzhe was as still as a dead man.

When Ning Junzhe saw her arrive, his eyes lit up for a moment, but the deep-set eye sockets made his eyes look somewhat frightening.

Jiang Ning first poured Ning Junzhe a glass of water and fed it to him directly.

With his parched throat moistened, Ning Junzhe finally spoke first:

"They brought you here to persuade me..."

"yes."

Jiang Ning honestly admitted it.

She had no reason to deceive Ning Junzhe.

"Oh……"

A cold laugh escaped from deep within Ning Junzhe's throat.

"You also want to persuade me to marry Fu Xinyue?"

Ning Junzhe's gaunt and emaciated face was terribly gloomy.

"I'd rather starve myself than marry her... Why? Why can't my devotion move you?"

"Because I don't love you."

Upon hearing Jiang Ning's resolute words again, Ning Junzhe angrily swung his hand and knocked over the things on the table.

Things fell down with a clatter, missing Jiang Ning but hitting Ning Junzhe himself.

"You're so cruel, Jiang Ning... Why can't you just like me?"

"Because you can't beat Lu Junyan."

Jiang Ning's words caused Ning Junzhe's expression to change drastically.

"So it really is because of Lu Junyan? You still like him?!"

Ning Junzhe roared weakly.

Jiang Ning did not answer this question.

She stood in front of Ning Junzhe, facing him.

Ning Junzhe weakly tilted his head back.

Jiang Ning's face was so cold that it seemed like he was a completely different person.

“Lu Junyan… is the actual person in charge of the Lu Group, with the power to speak and make decisions… and what about you? What do you have? The Ning Group is not under your control, and no one in your family listens to you… now you are about to lose your life… tell me, what woman would choose a cowardly and incompetent man like you?”

As soon as Jiang Ning finished speaking, Ning Junzhe coughed violently, even coughing up blood.

But her icy expression remained unchanged.

“Ning Junzhe, your hunger strike is not, in my opinion, your persistence towards me, but just your own self-pity… If you were truly persistent towards me, you should first take control of the Ning family, then swallow up the Lu Group, and make Lu Junyan bankrupt. Only then would you be qualified to replace Lu Junyan in my heart.”

After saying these words decisively, Jiang Ning turned around and left Ning Junzhe's bedroom without looking back.

She thought... maybe her words would have some effect?

Give Ning Junzhe a goal, and he will want to live a good life.

As for whether Ning Junzhe will actually take over the Lu Group someday...

Jiang Ning slowly stopped and shrugged with a smile.

That's something Lu Junyan should worry about.

As soon as they returned to the living room, Yin Xin immediately pulled Jiang Ning aside and asked:

"How is Junzhe? Have you managed to get him to eat anything?"

“I don’t know either…” Jiang Ning shook his head.

"What do you mean you don't know!"

Just as Yin Xin was about to get angry, she heard the maid run out excitedly and shout:

"Madam! The young master says he wants to eat, and he also wants me to make him some ginseng soup to nourish him!"

Upon hearing this, Yin Xin immediately pulled the maid into the kitchen.

Jiang Ning felt that there was nothing more for her to do here; this was all she could do for Ning Junzhe.

It was pitch black outside the villa.

It would be midnight by the time we get back to the city.

Jiang Ning left the Ning family without saying goodbye to anyone.

In the living room, Fu Xinyue, who was sitting on the sofa, took out her phone and secretly sent an instruction.

At this moment, Yin Xin came out of the kitchen with a big smile on her face.

"Xinyue, you are so smart and sensible. You suggested bringing Jiang Ning to persuade Junzhe, and it really worked. You are the lucky star of our Ning family."

Fu Xinyue also laughed.

She was smiling so happily not because her future mother-in-law praised her so much, but because the plan Chu Qingxue had taught her should work.

late at night.

The suburbs were eerily quiet.

Jiang Ning had only driven out of Ning Junzhe's house a short while when he realized he was being followed.

There were two cars following her, both better than hers, and there were definitely more than two people following her.

Jiang Ning gripped the steering wheel tightly, his palms sweating more and more.

Waterfront Mansion.

Chu Qingxue didn't sleep that night; she was waiting for news from Fu Xinyue.

Finally, at 3 a.m., she received a WeChat message from Fu Xinyue:

Success!

These three words were like a shot of adrenaline for Chu Qingxue, making her even more excited and unable to sleep.

It was broad daylight.

In the general manager's office of Lu's Group, Xiao Zhang was giving a work report.

"The above summarizes the current progress of each project."

"good."

After listening to the report, Lu Junyan gave Xiao Zhang a few instructions.

Xiao Zhang was about to leave to do his own work when suddenly, Lu Junyan's nonchalant voice came from behind him:

What has Jiang Ning been up to lately?

Xiao Zhang stopped, turned to look at Lu Junyan, and looked confused.

How could he possibly know what Jiang Ning has been up to lately?

However, he could not answer Lu Junyan in that way.

Lu Junyan was looking at him, and the meaning in his eyes was very clear—

He didn't want to ask a second time.

"I'll go check right away."

After Xiao Zhang left, Lu Junyan picked up his phone.

He asked Xiao Zhang about Jiangning's recent situation.

He would know as soon as he made a phone call to Jiang Ning.

But he didn't want to fight.

After a while, Xiao Zhang returned, looking somewhat flustered.

"What's wrong?" Lu Junyan asked.

"I heard... Miss Jiang... she seems to have had an accident..."

Lu Junyan stood up abruptly.

The imperial blue Bentley sped along, running two red lights in a row.

Lu Junyan sat in the driver's seat, glancing at the navigation system out of the corner of his eye.

The location of the Fourth Hospital on the navigation was not far from him.

Why haven't we arrived yet?!

Xiao Zhang told him that Jiang Ning encountered a group of thugs in the suburbs last night. Although Bai Yichen arrived in time to save Jiang Ning and prevented the thugs from taking advantage of him, Jiang Ning's hands were seriously injured, suffering comminuted fractures, which could very likely result in permanent disability.

The imperial blue Bentley finally drove into the Fourth Hospital.

Lu Junyan got out of the car and ran all the way.

This was the first time he had run into a hospital.

The hospital wasn't large, and he quickly found Jiang Ning's ward.

However, before he could reach the ward door, someone walked out of the ward.

It's a man.

Lu Junyan was not surprised to see Bai Yichen.

But Bai Yichen looked surprised when he saw Lu Junyan.

How did you get here?

"I've come to visit Jiangning."

How did you know Aning was hospitalized?

Lu Junyan frowned slightly, did not answer, and tried to bypass Bai Yichen to enter the ward.

"Wait a moment."

Bai Yichen raised his hand to stop Lu Junyan.

Bai Yichen has a classic appearance and a gentle, refined temperament, but that doesn't mean he lacks presence.

Lu Junyan didn't know why he didn't force his way in.

He stood obediently at the door of the ward, waiting for Bai Yichen to go in and then coming out again.

"A-Ning said she doesn't want to see you."
