Chapter 206 Please Show Some Respect

"I'm targeting her?"

Jiang Ning glared at Lu Junyan, but Lu Junyan turned his face away slightly.

What is Lu Junyan feeling guilty about?

He's been speaking up for Chu Qingxue for quite some time now.

"If she hadn't hired someone to try and ruin my hand first, I wouldn't have bothered to waste my time targeting her."

After listening to Jiang Ning's words, Lu Junyan put down his water glass and said calmly:

"That was done by Fu Xinyue."

Do you have evidence to prove that Chu Qingxue wasn't involved?

"Do you have any evidence to prove she was involved?"

The living room fell completely silent in an instant.

Lu Junyan gritted his teeth, feeling a sharp pain in his eyes, as if they were being burned.

Because Jiang Ning was staring at her with angry eyes.

He came to see Jiang Ning tonight, and it really wasn't for Chu Qingxue.

Chu Qingxue came to him crying, saying that Jiang Ning tore up her invitation and threw her out like trash.

She said Jiang Ning was going to destroy everything she had.

Lu Junyan knew perfectly well that Chu Qingxue would not be destroyed by Jiang Ning.

As long as he's willing to take action.

But he hesitated.

But he couldn't just ignore Chu Qingxue.

Because he had promised her that he would protect her no matter what happened.

Lu Junyan clearly believed that he would never break his promise in his entire life.

Especially his Achu.

The anger in Jiang Ning's eyes gradually subsided, replaced by a layer of frost.

Why is she still angry!

Chu Qingxue had experienced Lu Junyan's favoritism towards her countless times before; she was already numb to it.

"Since President Lu cares so much about Chu Qingxue's career, why not marry her and make her the mistress of the Lu Group? It's such a waste of her talent to only let her run a small jewelry design studio and have her suppressed by me."

Jiang Ning said sarcastically, seemingly unconcerned.

This was something she truly couldn't understand.

At least for now, with her in charge of the jewelry industry association, Chu Qingxue can't gain any advantage.

The Lu Group's business empire is so vast that as long as Chu Qingxue is formally married, she will be the mistress of the Lu Group and will still be able to thrive in her career.

"Anyway, you already promised her that you would give her a proper status after the divorce."

Jiang Ning's casual remark caused Lu Junyan's expression to change.

"Did Chu Qingxue tell you?"

He grabbed Jiang Ning's hand.

Jiang Ning immediately shook off Lu Junyan's hand.

"Please show some respect."

Jiang Ning's fingernails scratched Lu Junyan's fingers, causing a slight pain.

Lu Junyan clenched his fist.

"Have you finished speaking?"

Jiang Ning opened the door.

Lu Junyan noticed that every time he came to Jiang Ning's house, Jiang Ning would try to kick him out.

A blast of cold air rushed into the room, and Jiang Ning sneezed first.

Lu Junyan walked over, closed the door, and handed Jiang Ning a tissue.

Jiang Ning did not answer.

"Your snot is practically dripping into your mouth."

Seeing Lu Junyan reach out to him as if to wipe his snot, Jiang Ning immediately turned her head away, took the tissue from Lu Junyan's hand, and blew her nose.

"It's too cold outside and too late, and I didn't drive..."

Lu Junyan's calm voice came from behind Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning turned her head, her eyes showing confusion, when Lu Junyan continued:

Can I stay here?

Downstairs, the white Lexus remained motionless.

Bai Yichen didn't leave; he sat in the car, staring intently at the entrance to Jiang Ning's building.

Finally, he saw Lu Junyan come out.

Just then, a royal blue Bentley drove by and stopped.

Bai Yichen saw a man in a suit get out of the car and run over to Lu Junyan's side, presumably Lu Junyan's assistant.

Bai Yichen only breathed a sigh of relief after Lu Junyan got into the imperial blue Bentley and left.

He took out his phone and sent Jiang Ning a "goodnight" message, then drove away.

Jiang Ning had just confirmed that Gu Lanlan had arrived home safely when she received a WeChat message from Bai Yichen.

The simple words "goodnight" surprisingly improved her mood, which had worsened because of Lu Junyan that night.

Jiang Ning replied to Bai Yichen's WeChat message, then climbed into bed and turned off the bedside lamp.

The bedroom was pitch black, but Jiang Ning couldn't fall asleep immediately.

Her mind was uncontrollably replaying the words Lu Junyan had said before leaving—

"Believe it or not, I've come to see you tonight... simply because I want to see you."

Jiang Ning turned over, forcing herself to fall asleep.

Perhaps it was true that Lu Junyan wanted to see her, but it was also true that she didn't want to see Lu Junyan.

For the next two weeks, Jiang Ning was extremely busy, but the results were remarkable.

Apart from the Lu family, all of Chu Qingxue's investors withdrew their investments.

In just over ten days, Chu Qingxue's company shrank dramatically, and its assets were growing negatively every day.

Jiang Ning knew perfectly well that Lu Junyan would not abandon Chu Qingxue.

Since the Lu family is willing to take on this burden in terms of performance, she is quite happy to see it.

Today is the Lu Group's centennial celebration.

It was already past 7 p.m., and Jiang Ning was still engrossed in his design work in his office.

The new product line she was planning to launch in collaboration with FY has been delayed due to design bottlenecks.

The initial success of the "Piano" series was inspired by Bai Yichen's car accident.

Jiang Ning hopes that this time, her inspiration will not come from the misfortunes of others. She hopes that her new design can surpass the "piano" and surpass her past self.

Inside the grand hall of the Lu Group, the lights shone brightly, and glasses clinked in celebration.

Today's celebration was attended by all of Lu's senior and middle management, including government officials, business leaders, partners, business clients, and others who were invited.

As the pillar of the Lu family, Lu Lifeng also came, accompanied by Lu Yexiong, who was beaming with joy.

At least in Country A, and especially in City A, the Lu Group's position is currently unshakeable.

The entire celebration was filled with a lively and joyful atmosphere. The host was full of enthusiasm on stage, and all the guests had smiles on their faces, as if they were influenced by the festive atmosphere.

However, Xiao Zhang felt uneasy and restless.

He would steal glances at Lu Junyan from time to time.

Lu Junyan had been looking around since the start of the celebration, clearly searching for someone.

The more he searched, the colder Lu Junyan's expression became, and the more terrifying the aura he exuded from head to toe grew.

Xiao Zhang knew perfectly well who Lu Junyan was looking for.

The Lu Group's centennial celebration—on such an important day, only one shareholder was absent.

In the cultural and creative park.

Jiang Ning, biting her pen, heard her phone vibrate and glanced at the caller ID.

The main hall of the Lu Group.

Lu Junyan held his phone, his ears ringing with a series of busy signals.

Then it broke.

Lu Junyan frowned and typed it again.

The call was disconnected again.

Just when Jiang Ning thought Lu Junyan would call her a third time, she received a WeChat message from him:

I've already sent Xiao Zhang to pick you up. If you don't come, I'll fire him.
