Chapter 390 Who to Target?

After listening to Lu Junyan's words, Jiang Ning sat in the passenger seat and fell into deep thought.

Lu Junyan was standing nearby, but he didn't rush to start the car.

Because he still doesn't know where Jiang Ning wants to go next.

He neither inquired about Jiang Ning nor urged him.

He wanted to give Jiang Ning enough time and freedom.

Jiang Ning noticed Lu Junyan's thoughtfulness.

She used to be very careful around Lu Junyan.

Because she deeply loved Lu Junyan, she believed that Lu Junyan loved her too, but she was also afraid that Lu Junyan did not love her as much, and hoped that Lu Junyan would love her even more.

Later, when she learned that Lu Junyan did not love her, staying by his side was painful, conflicted, and heartbreaking.

Even after Lu Junyan reformed, she only felt coercion and pressure.

But now...

Lu Junyan's feelings towards her had indeed changed.

With Lu Junyan by her side, she felt at ease and could think more clearly about things.

With one hand supporting his chin, Jiang Ning gazed out the window.

He wasn't looking at anything specific; he was just spacing out.

Lu Junyan merely glanced at Jiang Ning out of the corner of his eye, a slight smile playing on his lips.

But he didn't let his gaze linger on Jiang Ning's face.

He feared that his gaze would be too intense and blatant, affecting Jiang Ning's thinking.

Jiang Ning was thinking.

She thought that Lin Jingcheng's health had always been poor, and although his previous heart attack was not serious, it must have been the trigger for him to make a will.

And that will...

Lin Wanrong must have known the contents in advance.

It was precisely because she knew the contents that she was driven to murder Lin Jingcheng.

Jiang Ning slowly raised his eyelids.

She thought of the will she was referring to now.

Originally, when she was listening to the will, she didn't feel that anything was wrong.

Lin Jingcheng's favoritism towards Lin Wanrong is common knowledge throughout the Lin family.

It was common knowledge throughout the Lin family that they disliked her, their own granddaughter.

To be more precise, Jiang Ning never even imagined that her name would appear in Lin Jingcheng's will.

After Lin Yueheng and Chu Yao adopted Lin Wanrong, Lin Jingcheng arranged for Lin Wanrong to join the Lin family business, working her way up from the bottom to the middle management, and then from the middle management to the top management, rotating her positions regularly. She was also taken along to various business banquets.

No matter how you look at it, Lin Wanrong was the successor carefully selected and cultivated by Lin Jingcheng.

Therefore, Lin Jingcheng entrusted all of the Lin family's assets to Lin Wanrong in his will. Although it was somewhat rash, it did not come as Jiang Ning expected.

However……

In retrospect, if her guesses and reasoning were correct, then the will that Wang Jun read aloud that day must have been a fake will altered by Lin Wanrong.

In that fake will, the only inheritance Lin Jingcheng left her was the Lin family's charitable foundation.

Jiang Ning couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of curiosity.

She was eager to know what Lin Jingcheng's real will actually contained.

What did Lin Wanrong write that drove her to commit murder in order to alter her will?

"It can't be... that the charity foundation originally intended for Lin Wanrong, but all of the Lin family's businesses were handed over to me to manage!"

Jiang Ning muttered to himself while looking out the car window, feeling that his daydream was truly laughable.

She knew perfectly well how much Lin Jingcheng hated her and how much he despised her.

With a self-deprecating smile on his face, Jiang Ning shook his head.

Finally, she looked away and turned to Lu Junyan.

"Have you figured it out?" Lu Junyan asked softly.

"Pretty much, anyway, I know who to start with."

"who?"

Jiang Ning did not answer Lu Junyan's question directly. Instead, she took out her phone, opened a webpage, and then pointed the phone screen at Lu Junyan.

Lu Junyan's eyes and expression remained unchanged.

Jiang Ning could tell that Lu Junyan had already thought of this person.

"Don't alert him yet. Have someone keep an eye on him for a few days."

After Jiang Ning finished speaking to Lu Junyan, she saw Lu Junyan squinting and smiling at her.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"It's nothing... it's just that I feel like you're getting more and more used to ordering me around!"

After Lu Junyan said that, Jiang Ning realized that the Lin family's affairs really had nothing to do with Lu Junyan.

However, all the resources she used were provided by Lu Junyan.

A surge of emotion welled up in Jiang Ning's chest, and her long eyelashes drooped down.

Then, she looked at Lu Junyan and asked:

How do you want me to thank you?

"To repay with one's body".

"No way."

Seeing Jiang Ning refuse without hesitation, Lu Junyan was both amused and exasperated.

"When you set off sparklers with Xiaoman tonight, can I join you? Is that alright?"

Jiang Ning was stunned, then couldn't help but chuckle.

Lu Junyan's humble request was actually quite adorable to her.

After dinner, it gradually got dark.

Lin Yueheng and Chu Yao spent the whole day playing with Xiaoman, which exhausted the two elderly people, but they enjoyed it immensely.

They knew that Xiaoman was Jiangning's son, which meant he was their grandson.

However, when Jiang Ning mentioned Lu Junyan in front of Xiao Man, he did not use the title "Dad".

This made them wonder who Xiaoman's father really was.

However, given their current situation and the delicate relationship with Jiangning, they dared not ask any further questions.

Fireworks and firecrackers are not allowed in the residential area, so Lu Junyan drove Jiang Ning and Xiao Man to a small park and took a fire extinguisher from the car.

Once everything was ready, they began setting off sparklers.

"Waaah... Mommy... Aba abababa..."

Xiaoman gestured wildly and chattered on and on, but Jiang Ning couldn't understand a word she said.

Lu Junyan couldn't help but chuckle, "Looks like Xiaoman wants to set off sparklers."

"You can translate this?" Jiang Ning looked unconvinced.

“My baby talk is pretty good,” Lu Junyan replied casually.

Jiang Ning knew that Lu Junyan's English must be very good, but she thought that what Lu Junyan had just said was probably not English, but baby talk.

"Xiaoman has indeed grown up and is now a brave young man."

Overjoyed by Lu Junyan's praise, Xiaoman clapped her chubby little hands several times.

"He's only one year old; he's ten years too young to be thinking about setting off fireworks!"

Seeing Jiang Ning's stern face, Xiao Man immediately snuggled into Lu Junyan's arms, acting all cute and affectionate.

Lu Junyan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

“We really do look like a family of three, with Mom playing the bad cop and Dad playing the good cop.”

Jiang Ning's faint smile vanished instantly, and the previously relaxed and natural atmosphere became awkward because she suddenly stopped speaking.

Lu Junyan looked at Jiang Ning and saw Jiang Ning silently take the sparklers out of the box, realizing that he might have said something wrong.

The sky grew completely dark.

Lu Junyan picked up a sparkler, lit it, and then said to Jiang Ning, "I'll hold Xiaoman in my arms, and let him hold the sparkler. Is that okay?"
