Chapter 344 Taking it to court

"I'm sorry, but I cannot agree to your request for a fake marriage with Bai Yichen."

"What did you say?!"

Huang Juan stood up abruptly.

Jiang Ning could see the deep-seated dissatisfaction Huang Juan felt towards her from her face.

"Jiang Ning, don't forget who caused my son to become a vegetable."

"mom!"

Bai Yichen shouted from the side.

"Shut up! Did I say anything wrong? If it weren't for her, you wouldn't have been hurt like that."

As she spoke, Huang Juan's voice choked with emotion.

"I understand how you feel, Auntie..."

"You don't understand anything."

Huang Juan wanted to continue her tirade, but Jiang Ning interrupted her with composure and dignity.

"But I also paid tens of millions of dollars in medical expenses for you."

Upon hearing this, Huang Juan was speechless.

“Even if it goes to court, I believe the judge will not order me to bear the cost of Bai Yichen’s treatment… but out of remorse, I have already given a huge amount of compensation.”

"Furthermore, the accident back then shouldn't be used as a tool for you to manipulate me. Although the marriage was fake, I didn't want to sacrifice my reputation, dignity, and feelings to deceive a centenarian... You might think I'm being selfish, but I really want to be selfish for once and not force myself to do something I don't like."

After saying this, Jiang Ning politely bid farewell to the three members of the Bai family.

Bai Yichen chased after him, apologizing repeatedly.

"I'm sorry, Aning, my mom went too far."

Jiang Ning shook his head with a smile.

"No... I understand that your aunt has been holding a grudge against me because of your previous car accident... but I really can't help you with the fake marriage."

"Yes, I understand... I didn't want to force you in the first place."

Seeing that Bai Yichen understood her, Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then I'm leaving."

"Ah Ning!"

Bai Yichen grabbed Jiang Ning's hand.

Noticing that Jiang Ning was trying to shake off his hand, he let go of it on his own.

"I...I'll take you there!"

"I'm driving myself, and I have a very important social engagement later."

"……Um……"

Seeing Bai Yichen lower his head, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, Jiang Ning took the initiative to ask:

Is there anything else you want to say to me?

Outside the clouds and the leaping dragon, pedestrians come and go.

However, the atmosphere between Jiang Ning and Bai Yichen seemed to be isolated from the pedestrians on the street.

Bai Yichen remained silent for a long time.

Jiang Ning didn't rush him, and waited patiently.

Finally, Bai Yichen lowered his eyes and spoke softly:

"Ah Ning, you... refuse to have a fake marriage with me, is it because... you're going to remarry Lu Junyan?"

Only after uttering the last few words did Bai Yichen dare to look up at Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning saw Bai Yichen frowning, his eyes seeming to speak volumes, trying to dissuade her:

Do not remarry Lu Junyan.

Jiang Ning chuckled.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have laughed at that moment... I just found your association interesting."

It's a logical association, but it's wildly wrong.

"Bai Yichen, Lu Junyan has woken up."

"What?"

Bai Yichen was taken aback.

"I don't need to remarry him just to wake him up."

As Jiang Ning spoke with unwavering conviction, Bai Yichen's face lit up with surprise.

"Just as I wouldn't enter into a fake marriage with you for your great-grandfather's sake, I won't remarry Lu Junyan just to wake him up..."

A bright smile bloomed on Jiang Ning's stunningly beautiful face.

"I don't want to wrong myself right now."

After saying this, Jiang Ning turned and left.

Bai Yichen watched Jiang Ning get into the car, feeling a sense of loss.

His fingers twitched, but only air clung to his fingertips.

What should I do?

He couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"How can I hold you firmly in my own hands?"

Bai Yichen hadn't been able to get the answer to this question back in high school.

Even after so many years, he still has no solution.

When the space gray Koenigsegg pulled up in front of Yunxiang Longyue, the private rooms inside had already been occupied by a different group of diners.

Lu Junyan missed his target again.

This time, he couldn't resist and dialed Jiang Ning's number.

It turned out that he had been blocked by Jiang Ning.

Ocean Heart Art Center, City D.

The annual Global Jewelry Art and Innovation Summit is currently underway.

Jiang Ning was invited to attend as a BYC master and sat at the table in the very front row, right in the middle.

The main topic of this event is the application of AI in the field of jewelry design.

A large number of people acknowledge the role of AI, but at the same time worry that its intrusion will shake the very foundation of this industry.

Jiang Ning is not actually worried that AI will eventually replace human designers.

Every industry evolves with the times, and she is proud of the progress AI has made.

However, jewelry design itself is still a collision of inspiration and art. She believes that AI can assist, but cannot replace.

Originally, the atmosphere at the summit was quite harmonious, with everyone expressing their opinions and exchanging ideas in a friendly manner.

However, in the latter half of the event, a representative from a technology company took the stage with a rising designer and began to make outrageous remarks.

"The future of jewelry design is AI. Forgive my bluntness, but all of you renowned designers in the jewelry and fashion industry, you will soon be swept away by the tide of the times... Soon, there will be no place for you in the entire jewelry design industry. Why? Because you don't know how to use AI, or you disdain to use AI."

"Your arrogance will cost you your only livelihood... Please look at these statistics..."

Sun Yue, the representative of the technology company, began to play the PowerPoint presentation, which listed a dense array of data.

"Did everyone see that? AI's learning speed is something that humans simply cannot match. All of you designers here, your design styles and works can be realized by AI in a few minutes, but what you have racked your brains for months may not even be the tip of the iceberg of AI's design."

“Look at the designer next to me…”

Sun Yue pointed to the young girl next to him.

"Li Yan, a rising star in contemporary design, uses our company's AI for jewelry design. She only needs to input her design concept, and within minutes, the AI ​​will create a draft that meets her design requirements... This is what high-end and high-tech really mean."

As soon as Sun Yue finished speaking, someone in the audience let out a sneer.

Sun Yue's expression changed instantly.

"Master BYC, never mind, I'll just call you Ms. Jiang! Do you have any questions or complaints about my speech?"

In an instant, everyone's attention was focused on Jiang Ning.

This includes Lu Junyan, who was not invited to the summit and could only stand secretly in a corner, leaning against the side door.
