Chapter 63 Quitting My Job to Prepare for Pregnancy

Lu Junyan was also looking at her, his eyes filled with a blatant warning.

Jiang Ning thought that if she brought up divorce in public now, Lu Lifeng would definitely not refuse.

Even if he was unwilling, he would respect her choice.

But……

Jiang Ning couldn't bring himself to speak.

It wasn't because of Lu Junyan's previous warning to her.

Instead, Lu Lifeng is currently hospitalized and recuperating, and cannot withstand too much stimulation.

Lu Lifeng has a heart condition, and his hospitalization this time is most likely not because of her trending topic.

After all, Lu Lifeng wasn't someone who usually enjoyed surfing the internet.

He must have learned that Lu Yexiong had prepared a divorce agreement between her and Lu Junyan, which is why he was hospitalized in a fit of anger.

Jiang Ning must not upset her grandfather any further.

If anything were to happen to her grandfather because of her, she would regret it for the rest of her life.

"I want to... resign."

Jiang Ning made his demands in a serious manner.

A flicker of emotion crossed Lu Junyan's eyes.

"Resigning is a good idea!" Yang Liyun immediately clapped her hands and cheered.

“You shouldn’t have been working in the first place. It’s not like our Lu family can’t support you. After you quit your job, just like before, stay home and take care of your husband and children… Your miscarriage before was because you were inexperienced. Be more careful this time. Now that you’ve recovered, it’s time to prepare for having children.”

“Your mother is right,” Lu Yexiong echoed. “It’s perfect that you’ve quit your job and are staying home to prepare for pregnancy.”

Yang Liyun and Lu Yexiong talked back and forth, while Jiang Ning listened silently from the side, feeling the pain of having a wound that had finally healed being ripped open again.

She discovered that it seemed no one in the entire Lu family knew that her miscarriage was intentionally caused by Lu Junyan.

Actually, she wouldn't have known if she hadn't eavesdropped.

Moreover, Lu Junyan not only deliberately aborted her and his first child, but also acted so roughly that she would have difficulty getting pregnant again.

Without children, she would never become a mother or the mistress of the Lu family.

She was just a dutiful and hardworking nanny.

Jiang Ning clenched his fists tightly behind his back, his fists trembling.

"Do you think I'm right, Junyan?"

Yang Liyun and Lu Yexiong talked amongst themselves until the very end before finally remembering to ask Lu Junyan for his opinion.

As for Jiang Ning's opinion, it never needed to be considered.

This has been the case for the past three years.

"Yes, I'll try my best." Lu Junyan nodded calmly.

Jiang Ning watched Lu Junyan lie without batting an eye, and a chill ran through her.

She could publicly say that Lu Junyan caused her miscarriage and prevented her from having children again.

But……

Now that things have come to this, what's the point of her saying it?

Once she says it, Lu Lifeng is less likely to agree to a divorce.

Because he would feel that she had been ruined by the Lu family and had nothing left.

Even if it's just to compensate her, he'll let her sit in the position of the young mistress of the Lu family forever.

Jiang Ning no longer wanted to be pitied or sympathized with.

They'll divorce sooner or later.

After two years of separation, the court will most likely make a ruling.

By then, her grandfather would have fully recovered, and she would have no more worries.

"I'm resigning... because I want to leave Lu's Group..."

The room suddenly became very quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Ning.

"But I don't want to go home, I want to do something else."

Upon hearing Jiang Ning's words, Yang Liyun immediately became anxious.

"How could you..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Lu Yexiong immediately tugged at her sleeve, signaling with his eyes not to speak carelessly in front of the old man.

Lu Yexiong originally intended for Lu Junyan and Jiang Ning to divorce.

As the daughter-in-law of the Lu family, Jiang Ning is actually not qualified.

Given the Lu family's social standing, if they were to arrange a marriage, they should find someone of equal social standing within high society circles.

Just like he was back then.

Besides, Lu Junyan didn't love Jiang Ning to begin with.

The old man had taken a liking to Jiang Ning when they got married; otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed.

Given Jiang Ning's family's circumstances, marrying into the Lu family would be a huge step up for her.

If Jiang Ning continues to be a dutiful full-time housewife and manages the household well as before, Lu Yexiong won't say anything more.

However, Jiangning has changed now, becoming like a restless rabbit, causing trouble everywhere.

Lu Yexiong's current views are similar to Yang Liyun's; he prefers Chu Qingxue.

However, Chu Qingxue was not well-suited to be a housewife, which was a concern for them.

But it's still better than Jiangning, which has had several negative news stories.

Whether it's for the company's image and stock price, or for the Lu family's reputation, Lu Yexiong is determined to make Lu Junyan and Jiang Ning divorce.

Lu Junyan agreed.

However, somehow the news reached Lu Lifeng's ears, which angered him so much that he suffered a heart attack on the spot.

The Lu family's empire was built single-handedly by Lu Lifeng.

Although the emerging industries were all handed over to Lu Junyan to manage, the old industries were in his hands, and the clients were all friends that Lu Lifeng had made back then.

In this circle, the one with status and influence is not so much the Lu family, but rather Lu Lifeng himself.

Lu Lifeng has made it clear that if Jiang Ning and Lu Junyan divorce because of him, he will take back all those businesses and remove him from his position as general manager.

“Jiang Ning, have you thought this through? It’s very hard for a young woman like you to work hard and build your career. You don’t need to do this at all…”

"I support Xiao Ning."

Before Lu Yexiong could finish speaking, Lu Lifeng spoke up.

"Junyan, since Xiaoning doesn't want to work at Lu's anymore, go and help her with the paperwork!"

"I understand, Grandpa. I'll have the HR department process her resignation tomorrow."

Upon hearing Lu Junyan's words, Jiang Ning finally felt relieved.

At least, she could take this opportunity to leave the Lu family, so she wouldn't have to watch Chu Qingxue's mood all day, listen to those rumors, or see Chu Qingxue and Lu Junyan showing off their love in public.

"There's no need to rush..."

Lu Lifeng waved to Lu Junyan, "Xiao Ning has suffered such a great injustice this time, she should relax and unwind. Junyan, don't go to the company for the next couple of days. Spend a couple of days with Xiao Ning at this hot spring resort, what do you think, Xiao Ning?"

Jiang Ning wanted to refuse.

Now that she's alone with Lu Junyan, she's not relaxed at all; her nerves are tense a hundred or a thousand times more so than when she's drawing.

But seeing the expectation in her grandfather's eyes, she couldn't bring herself to refuse.

Just treat it as a vacation.

"good."

Jiang Ning readily agreed and saw Lu Lifeng breathe a sigh of relief.

Lu Lifeng probably still intends to bring her and Lu Junyan together.

Hopefully, she will discover Lu Junyan's good qualities and change her mind about getting a divorce.

Lu Junyan certainly has a good side.

At least back when they were in the juvenile detention center, he treated her very well.

She fell for him so much that she couldn't help but like him, becoming more and more deeply infatuated and unable to extricate herself.

But now, Lu Junyan has given all his kindness to Chu Qingxue.

Jiang Ning felt heavy-hearted.

She still couldn't follow Gu Lanlan's advice to treat Lu Junyan like a handsome male prostitute, sleeping with him casually, throwing him two hundred yuan afterward, and then leaving without a care.

It's not a loss.

This hot spring resort covers a vast area and is divided into four main areas: east, south, west, and north.

Lu Lifeng lives in the East District and has booked the entire park. So now, apart from the staff, there are only Lu Lifeng, who is hospitalized for treatment, as well as Lu Junyan and Jiang Ning.

Lu Yexiong took Yang Liyun back.

Jiang Ning followed Lu Junyan into a room that was as large as a palace.

As soon as she closed the door, she heard Lu Junyan say to her:

"Besides using your grandfather to benefit yourself, what else can you do?"
