Chapter 268 Taking a Hard Line

Lu Junyan, who was sitting in the driver's seat, leaned out.

"Get in the car, I'll take you to lunch."

Jiang Ning glanced at Lu Junyan.

"I have a car, thank you."

"Your tire is flat."

"What?"

Lu Junyan's words made Jiang Ning's eyes widen.

In front of her was her white BMW 3 Series. She went over to check it and found that the tire had indeed been punctured.

At this moment, Lu Junyan got out of the car and came to her side.

"See how timely I am?"

The voice that lingered in her ears was pleasant and magnetic, but Jiang Ning rolled her eyes.

"Lu Junyan, how childish are you?"

Seeing Jiang Ning cross his arms and question him aggressively, Lu Junyan pretended to be innocent.

"You've misunderstood me, I didn't puncture the tire."

He had someone do it.

Jiang Ning looked at Lu Junyan with suspicion and took out her phone from her handbag.

"Bai Yichen is attending a government meeting, Mo Yan is on a business trip out of town, and Yuan Pei has been arranged by his father to intern at his family's resort... I guess you're not interested in Pete... As for Ning Junzhe, he's getting married next month to the granddaughter of the CEO of Xunmeng Technology."

Jiang Ning: ...

If Lu Junyan could put this same effort into the company's operations, the company's stock would surely recover much faster.

Jiang Ning grinned and waved his phone at Lu Junyan.

"My name is Didi, okay?"

Lu Junyan's composed expression instantly changed. While Jiang Ning was calling a Didi, he also took out his phone and made a call to Xiao Zhang.

"Mr. Lu..."

"I'm going to acquire Didi, now."

"……ha?"

Lu Junyan's instruction left Xiao Zhang completely bewildered.

Jiang Ning immediately snatched Lu Junyan's phone and said to Xiao Zhang on the other end of the line:

“There is no such acquisition plan. Don’t listen to Lu Junyan’s nonsense.”

The sound of Jiang Ning coming through the receiver made Xiao Zhang instantly understand something.

It seems that Lu Junyan failed to pick up the person and therefore viewed Didi as an obstacle.

So, should we acquire it or not?

Xiao Zhang sat at his workstation, stroking his chin and deep in thought.

As Lu Junyan's assistant, for Lu Junyan's sake, wouldn't it be more convenient to acquire Didi?

At the same time, Jiang Ning returned the phone to Lu Junyan.

Lu Junyan's eyes were filled with a smile.

"You're starting to look more and more like the mistress of the Lu Group."

"I am now the largest shareholder of the Lu Group, so naturally I won't let you do anything reckless."

Seeing that Jiang Ning used the word "also," Lu Junyan's handsome face smiled even more broadly.

"It seems you've accepted the fact that we're still husband and wife."

Jiang Ning was furious whenever Lu Junyan brought up the matter.

Is this something she can or cannot accept?

Even if she doesn't accept it, legally she and Lu Junyan are still husband and wife.

Shares she acquired during the marriage are considered marital property.

Seeing the deep resentment in Jiang Ning's eyes, Lu Junyan felt a mix of emotions.

"I just wanted to have lunch with you... Can't you even give me that one chance?"

Jiang Ning saw Lu Junyan with his eyes downcast, looking pitiful. Anyone who didn't know better would think that she had bullied Lu Junyan!

Jiang Ning sighed.

“Lu Junyan, stop doing this pointless thing… Even if I agree to have a meal with you, it won’t change my mind that I want a divorce.”

"Since I can't change your mind no matter what, I'll just let you have a meal with me. I'll be the one who gains more."

Lu Junyan's words made Jiang Ning laugh in anger.

She truly couldn't understand Lu Junyan's logic.

"As for my competitor for the chairman position, I choose to make sure you don't earn any money."

Jiang Ning had barely finished speaking when he turned and left.

Lu Junyan thought that he could persuade Jiang Ning to get into the car on his own, but he could only watch helplessly as Jiang Ning left in front of him.

His eyes suddenly turned sinister and dangerous.

Jiang Ning heard hurried footsteps behind her. Before she could turn around, Lu Junyan suddenly hoisted her up.

"Lu Junyan, what are you doing?!"

In broad daylight, especially in a bustling commercial district, Jiang Ning never imagined that Lu Junyan would dare to resort to force.

"Let me go!"

Jiang Ning struggled and resisted on Lu Junyan's shoulder.

However, Lu Junyan turned a deaf ear.

Even though Jiang Ning was hitting his back and scratching his head, he still carried Jiang Ning back to his car and forcibly shoved Jiang Ning into the passenger seat.

The imperial blue Bentley slowly drove off, brushing past the white BMW 3 Series that was parked in place.

They agreed to have lunch, but Lu Junyan drove onto the highway instead.

Jiang Ning sat in the passenger seat, feeling utterly bored.

"Have you driven this highway before? I heard it was renovated before."

"..."

"Guess where I want to take you to eat?"

"..."

"That screen over there is advertising a newly released movie, right? Haven't you seen it yet?"

"..."

Jiang Ning never imagined that Lu Junyan would one day become so talkative.

If she remembered correctly, Lu Junyan never spoke while driving, nor did he engage in conversation.

Chu Qingxue was the only exception.

Once, she sat in Lu Junyan's car, trying to make conversation, but Lu Junyan ignored her, and Xiao Zhang reminded her.

So she learned to shut up.

Just like now.

Lu Junyan, who was driving, was sobbing that his throat was dry.

He glanced at Jiang Ning beside him. Jiang Ning looked utterly dejected, as if he had been kidnapped rather than having lunch with him.

"Jiang Ning, are you sleepy? You can take a nap if you are."

As soon as Lu Junyan finished speaking, Jiang Ning, who was in the passenger seat, immediately closed his eyes and leaned his head against the car window.

Not a single word was uttered from beginning to end.

No matter what Lu Junyan said or asked, Jiang Ning did not react at all.

It's a very unpleasant feeling to be ignored like that.

Lu Junyan pursed his thin lips, which had sharp lines.

turn out to be……

This was how he felt when Jiang Ning spoke to him in his car but was ignored.

Lu Junyan's Adam's apple bobbed, and he swallowed hard; the taste was terribly bitter.

The car finally became quiet.

The Bentley has good sound insulation; even when driving on the highway, it effectively blocks out outside noise.

Every now and then, Lu Junyan would steal glances at Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning leaned against the car window without moving, as if he were asleep.

His brows were furrowed and never relaxed, showing that he was in a very bad mood.

Lu Junyan felt a tightness in his chest. He continued driving while turning down the air conditioning and making sure the air didn't blow directly on Jiang Ning.

After driving for a while, the car entered the rest area.

Jiang Ning was truly asleep, sleeping soundly, and didn't wake up even when the car pulled into the rest area and stopped.

Lu Junyan reclined the passenger seat so Jiang Ning could sleep more comfortably, then took off his suit jacket and covered Jiang Ning with it.

Jiang Ning is a natural beauty.

She didn't wear makeup when she was a full-time housewife, and she also wore light makeup when she was a working woman.

But whether she wears makeup or not, and whatever kind of makeup she wears, it does not affect Jiang Ning's unparalleled beauty in the slightest.

In a daze, Lu Junyan recalled that in his youth, he had also stared at a girl's sleeping face just like he was now.
