Chapter 389 It was Lin Wanrong who murdered Lin Jingcheng

On the way to Betty, Jiang Ning explained to Lu Junyan:

"Betty's Bakery... is a chain bakery brand in Country C, with many franchise stores in the capital city alone... and I've bought from this store on Xinyuan Road a few times before when I came here."

Sensing that Jiang Ning's words were only hinting at the point, Lu Junyan didn't rush to ask Jiang Ning for further details.

He could tell that Jiang Ning wanted to go to the store in person to confirm something.

After parking the car, Lu Junyan and Jiang Ning got out together and went into the store.

"Boss, I'd like to see some small cakes."

Jiang Ning stood in front of the counter and said.

Lu Junyan observed that Betty's Bakery was not a large establishment, and the owner was the baker himself; no other waiters were employed.

"Oh, it's been a long time, Miss Jiang."

The boss greeted Jiang Ning warmly when he saw him.

Jiang Ning was somewhat surprised that the boss actually remembered her.

She had previously visited the Imperial City of Country C and unintentionally bought a piece of mango pomelo sago at this Betty's Delight dessert shop. It tasted delicious and was the most to her liking among all the desserts she had ever eaten.

The owner himself was very welcoming, and the two chatted for quite a while.

As if noticing the surprise in Jiang Ning's eyes, the boss immediately explained, "Although it's been so many years, you're just too beautiful for me to forget!"

The boss praised Jiang Ning while a sweet smile appeared on his face.

Actually, the boss herself is quite pretty, but she can't compare to a great beauty like Jiang Ning.

The boss approached Jiang Ning to chat because he thought she was so beautiful that Jiang Ning was embarrassed by the compliment.

"By the way, is this your boyfriend?"

The boss blinked curiously at Jiang Ning, his gaze constantly drifting towards Lu Junyan.

"no……"

Jiang Ning shook his head.

"But you two look so well-matched, a perfect couple."

Jiang Ning could tell that his boss had a burning passion for gossip.

However, she really didn't want to explain her relationship with Lu Junyan to outsiders anymore.

At this moment, Lu Junyan, who was standing next to her, took the initiative to say, "I'm pursuing her..."

Upon hearing Lu Junyan's words, the boss exclaimed "Wow!"

Jiang Ning couldn't help but roll her eyes at Lu Junyan, as if warning him: Don't say anything unnecessary.

Lu Junyan received and understood the warning in that gaze, but he just smiled and said, "She's not easy to pursue. Boss, do you have any good methods you can teach me a few tricks?"

"Lu Junyan!"

Jiang Ning yelled at him, and Lu Junyan's smile turned bitter.

Just then, the shop owner handed him a piece of cake.

"Buy this, mango pomelo sago, she loves it."

Lu Junyan thanked the shop owner, bought all three pieces of mango pomelo sago displayed on the counter, and handed them to Jiang Ning.

"This is for you."

Jiang Ning looked at Lu Junyan's smug smile and helplessly rubbed his forehead.

"You bought too much. How can I possibly eat all of this by myself?"

"How about we divide it into smaller portions?"

"He's only one year old, you can't just give him anything to eat."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Seeing how obedient Lu Junyan was to Jiang Ning, the boss couldn't help but come over to Jiang Ning and whisper, "Miss Jiang, I think this handsome guy is quite nice. Don't you really want to consider him?"

Jiang Ning pursed her lips.

The owner of this shop seems to be as warm-hearted and chatty as ever, but also quite outgoing and lacking in boundaries.

Just as she was about to refuse, the boss whispered in her ear:

"You can date such a handsome guy first, and then dump him after you've slept with him!"

Jiang Ning wondered what kind of scumbag she was.

"Boss, there's something I want to ask you."

Jiang Ning quickly changed the subject; otherwise, her boss would probably have gone on and on about her love life.

"What is it? Just ask!"

The boss smiled and looked at Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning glanced at the counter and said casually, "Why don't you have any chocolate cakes? I was thinking of buying one to try something different!"

"Oh dear, you really do have a bad memory. I told you before when you came here that although this is a franchise of Betty's, I am allergic to chocolate. I feel uncomfortable all over when I touch it. And I am the only one making cakes here, so I sell everything in this shop except chocolate cake."

"Oh, I remember now. Oh well, it's been so long!"

Jiang Ning pretended to suddenly realize something.

Beside him, Lu Junyan's face darkened.

He now finally understood why Jiang Ning had personally come to this store.

Finally, in addition to the three mango pomelo sago-flavored mini cakes, the owner also recommended fruit melt-in-your-mouth treats suitable for one-year-old babies.

Lu Junyan bought various flavors, saying they were for Xiaoman to eat.

Then he bought some old-fashioned ox-tongue pastries to give to Lin Yueheng and Chu Yao.

Although Jiang Ning did not acknowledge Lin Yueheng and Chu Yao as his parents, Lu Junyan knew that Jiang Ning was not a heartless person.

As the saying goes, blood is thicker than water.

Perhaps one day in the future, Jiang Ning will return to the Lin family.

If that's the case, it's always good for him to leave a good impression on Lin Yueheng and Chu Yao.

Jiang Ning could tell that Lu Junyan was intentionally trying to please everyone around her.

I bought melt-in-your-mouth beans for Xiaoman, ox-tongue pastries for Lin Yueheng and Chu Yao, and mango pomelo sago cake for her.

"We'll all have dessert when we get back, so what are you going to eat?"

Jiang Ning asked Lu Junyan.

Lu Junyan smiled gently.

"For desserts, I only love the cakes you bake yourself."

Upon hearing Lu Junyan's words, the boss couldn't help but whistle.

"Oh, by the way, you can have this! My friend gave it to me a couple of days ago."

The boss shoved a box into Jiang Ning's hand.

"This is……"

"It's a sparkler."

Jiang Ning was taken aback for a moment, then thanked him.

After leaving the bakery, Lu Junyan couldn't help but ask Jiang Ning as soon as he got into the car:

"So after hearing Chu Yao's words, you already suspected that Lin Wanrong killed Lin Jingcheng, right?"

Jiang Ning paused for a moment, then nodded.

"Um……"

Betty's Cake Shop on Xinyuan Road never sells chocolate cakes, which means that Lin Wanrong lied at the time.

However, Jiang Ning hasn't been to that shop for a long time. It's possible that the owner has changed, or that a new baker has been hired.

So Jiang Ning didn't say anything at the time, but instead brought Lu Junyan to the store for an actual inspection.

As it turned out, her idea was correct.

The problem is...

What is Lin Wanrong after?

Jiang Ning turned her head and looked at Lu Junyan.

“She was originally Lin Jingcheng’s most valued adopted granddaughter… that’s murder.”

Lu Junyan understood Jiang Ning's question.

"As the saying goes, people die for wealth and birds die for food... If Lin Wanrong really killed Lin Jingcheng, then it further proves that this will is problematic."
