Chapter 113 Pointing at Lu Junyan's nose and cursing
Xiao Zhang slightly parted his two thin lips.
The reason he accompanied Chu Qingxue to visit Jiang Ning today was naturally at Lu Junyan's behest.
Although Xiao Zhang had been Lu Junyan's assistant for several years, he didn't know much about Chu Qingxue. He only knew that she was Lu Junyan's first love. The two had gone through thick and thin together in a juvenile detention center when they were young, and she was an indelible white moonlight in Lu Junyan's heart.
However, Xiao Zhang didn't like Chu Qingxue very much.
Back then, Lu Junyan and Chu Qingxue were a match made in heaven, very famous and high-profile on their high school campus.
Even now, many of Lu Junyan's classmates still believe that Lu Junyan and Chu Qingxue are lovers.
To outsiders, Lu Junyan was deeply in love with Chu Qingxue.
In terms of appearance, family background, and personal ability, Lu Junyan is top-notch.
Xiao Zhang didn't think Lu Junyan was unworthy of Chu Qingxue in any way.
However, Chu Qingxue dumped Lu Junyan.
Xiao Zhang wasn't entirely clear on the specifics, but he'd heard it seemed to be related to Lu Junyan's grandfather.
Lu Junyan's first and most serious emotional investment suffered a huge blow.
Most importantly, Chu Qingxue's breakup wasn't clean enough.
Even after she arrived abroad, she kept posting on social media to provoke Lu Junyan, fantasizing that he would chase her abroad and win her back.
As a result, Lu Junyan chose to get married.
Xiao Zhang knew perfectly well that Jiang Ning was chosen by Lu Lifeng, not Lu Junyan.
Lu Junyan does not love Jiang Ning.
However, since they are already married, Jiang Ning is Lu Junyan's only wife.
From Xiao Zhang's perspective, although he has no right to criticize other people's families, especially his superiors', he personally believes that Jiang Ning is the most innocent victim in this love triangle.
"Xiao Zhang? Why aren't you saying anything?"
When Xiao Zhang came to his senses, he saw the naked coercion in Chu Qingxue's seemingly harmless eyes.
"Well, Miss Jiang refused to accept it because..."
Before Xiao Zhang could finish speaking, Chu Qingxue immediately put her phone away.
"Junyan, do you think I shouldn't have come to Jiangning by myself? Wouldn't it have been better if you had come with me? If you were here, even if Jiangning disliked my gift, she wouldn't have made it so obvious..."
The more Chu Qingxue spoke, the more dejected her voice became.
"Did she say anything nasty to you?" Lu Junyan asked on the other end of the phone.
Chu Qingxue was silent at first, then nodded after a moment.
"Um……"
"Ignore her."
Lu Junyan's voice came through the receiver with extreme indifference, which made Chu Qingxue feel smug.
"Then this gift..."
You can keep it for yourself!
"Well, that's the only way."
Chu Qingxue looked extremely troubled.
She never told Lu Junyan that the gift she gave to Jiang Ning was a bouquet of pink roses, and of course, Lu Junyan didn't ask either.
A few days later, Lu Junyan finished his business and appeared in Jiang Ning's hospital room.
There are several people in Jiangning's hospital ward:
Gu Lanlan, Pete, and Yuan Pei were all there.
All eyes were on Lu Junyan.
The first person Lu Junyan looked at was Yuan Pei.
Staring at Lu Junyan with icy gaze, Yuan Pei touched the back of his neck, feeling as if he had been bitten by a venomous snake.
"Brother Lu..."
"Uncle Yuan has asked me several times, 'Where have you been gallivanting these past few days since you haven't been to the company?'"
“I told him! I said my friend was in a car accident and was hospitalized, and I went to visit him in the hospital, but he didn’t believe me!”
"friend……"
Lu Junyan picked out the key words and glanced at Jiang Ning.
Yuan Pei looked embarrassed.
He felt like he was caught in the middle, caught between two opposing sides.
Chu Qingxue and Jiang Ning are rivals in love. Logically speaking, he has always been on Chu Qingxue's side, so it doesn't seem appropriate for him to be friends with Jiang Ning.
"The doctor said Jiang Ning needs to rest. If Mr. Lu has nothing else, you can leave now."
Pete dislikes Lu Junyan.
Jiang Ning especially disliked the fact that Lu Junyan's presence made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
“I’m Jiang Ning’s husband. I didn’t kick you out, but you’re the one kicking me out.” Lu Junyan put his hands in his pockets and looked coldly at Pete.
Pitt retorted, "Aren't you two about to get a divorce?"
Lu Junyan's expression remained unchanged, but a storm was brewing in his eyes.
It was as if the whole world knew that he and Jiang Ning were getting a divorce.
"I'm about to get a divorce... which is practically the same as not getting a divorce yet. Do I need to teach Director Pete this lesson?"
"How dare you say you're not divorced yet!"
Gu Lanlan couldn't bear it any longer.
"What husband wouldn't even show his face when his wife is in a car accident and in the ICU? How many days has Aning been hospitalized? Where the hell are you? If you can't come, at least send money! If the driver who caused the accident hadn't paid, Aning wouldn't even have had her medical bills covered!"
Gu Lanlan was so angry that her face turned red.
"Now that Aning is out of danger and has woken up, oh, so you finally come to see me? Where were you before?! You still have the nerve to call yourself Aning's husband? Let me tell you, the worst thing that ever happened to Aning was marrying you!"
The ward fell silent.
After lashing out, Gu Lanlan realized she had acted impulsively.
But she got her kicks from yelling.
Since Jiang Ning was going to divorce Lu Junyan anyway, she wasn't afraid that Lu Junyan would take his anger out on Jiang Ning if she angered him.
Jiang Ning remained silent.
Actually, although she had no evidence regarding the medical expenses, she felt that Gu Lanlan had misunderstood.
Her medical expenses this time will definitely be substantial. If the driver who caused the accident pays for them, it will likely involve many issues such as insurance claims.
But neither the hospital nor the insurance company ever contacted her about the money.
However, she didn't tell Gu Lanlan these analyses because she knew that if she did, Gu Lanlan would definitely misunderstand that she was speaking up for Lu Junyan, and Gu Lanlan would definitely call her love-struck.
"Finished scolding?" Lu Junyan asked Gu Lanlan, neither angry nor annoyed.
"Not yet!" Gu Lanlan was going all out this time. In front of Jiang Ning, Pete, and Yuan Pei, she pointed at Lu Junyan's nose and scolded him for not adhering to male virtues, for being greedy, for being cold-blooded and heartless, and for being a womanizer. In the end, she ran out of new words and kept repeating the same few sentences until she was foaming at the mouth.
"Alright, that's enough scolding for now!" Gu Lanlan's voice was hoarse as she poured herself a glass of water.
Beside him, Yuan Pei looked at Lu Junyan's face, which remained neither red nor pale, and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up in his heart.
As expected of my brother Lu, his mental fortitude is truly impressive!
Pete originally intended to criticize Lu Junyan, but compared to Gu Lanlan, he was indeed inferior.
"Anyone else who wants to curse me, curse them all at once," Lu Junyan asked Pete and Yuan Pei, his voice calm.
Pete remained silent, while Yuan Pei waved his hands repeatedly, his expression saying: How dare I!
Finally, he looked at Jiang Ning lying on the hospital bed and asked:
"And you?"
Jiang Ning shook his head, remaining silent.
"Since you've said everything you wanted to say and don't want to say anything more, please leave now. I have something to say to my wife alone."
Jiang Ning found it ridiculous and ironic that Lu Junyan would still call her his wife at this time.
