Chapter 155: It's a relationship between ex-husband and ex-wife.
Today, Jiang Ning saw Lu Junyan at the hospital.
Lu Junyan came to process Lu Lifeng's discharge from the hospital.
Lu Lifeng is recovering faster than expected. The doctor suggested he be discharged tomorrow, so we can get the paperwork done today.
"Thank you……"
Standing in the corridor outside the ward, Lu Junyan suddenly took the initiative to thank Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning raised her eyes and stared at Lu Junyan.
After not seeing him for two weeks, she was surprised to find that Lu Junyan had lost a lot of weight.
Lu Junyan's stomach was already weak, and it was clear that the bottleneck in the new project he was developing in collaboration with CelestiMed had put him under tremendous pressure. Jiang Ning thought that Lu Junyan probably hadn't been eating properly these past few days, otherwise he wouldn't look so haggard.
"You don't need to thank me. No matter what our relationship is, I will always consider Grandpa as family."
Jiang Ning didn't want Lu Junyan to misunderstand her.
She has been staying at the hospital these past few days to take care of Lu Lifeng and cook for him, not because of Lu Junyan.
It's not because she and he haven't successfully divorced yet.
Jiang Ning truly treated Lu Lifeng as his own grandfather.
She had a biological grandfather.
But it would be better if there were none at all.
It was Lu Lifeng who made her realize what it's like to have a kind, gentle, and compassionate grandfather.
Regardless of whether Lu Junyan was there or not, and regardless of her relationship with Lu Junyan, she was willing to take care of Lu Lifeng when he was hospitalized, not to mention that Lu Lifeng was hospitalized because he was provoked by her words.
"Um."
Lu Junyan simply nodded without saying anything more.
While going through the discharge procedures, Jiang Ning saw Lu Junyan pressing his stomach with one hand from afar.
Is Lu Junyan having a stomach ailment?
Jiang Ning sighed softly.
After Lu Lifeng was discharged from the hospital, Lu Yexiong hosted a banquet at Cuihu Villa to celebrate Lu Lifeng's recovery.
The real purpose of celebrating recovery was not to celebrate, but to take the opportunity to expand influence in the business district and exchange intelligence and information.
This time, Lu Yexiong did not invite Jiang Ning.
At first, he was quite optimistic about Jiangning. Recently, Lu's stock has hit the daily limit several times, all thanks to the popularity of Jiangning.
It was by releasing positive news in Jiangning that the rival company's plan to short Lu's company was thwarted.
However, upon hearing that Jiang Ning would be unable to have children in the future, he immediately agreed to Lu Junyan's divorce from Jiang Ning.
Lu Yexiong was thinking that, if fate allowed, he might be able to find a new marriage partner for Lu Junyan at the banquet.
"Have you heard? It seems the Lin family recently adopted a daughter."
"The Lin family? Which Lin family?"
"They started out in Country A, then moved to Country C, and are now the biggest financial backer in Country C... that Lin family."
Among the invited guests, someone brought up the Lin family of Country C, a topic that piqued Lu Yexiong's interest.
Lu's Group.
Xiao Zhang drove away from the industrial park during his lunch break.
Not long after he started driving, the China Youth Building came into view.
He then parked his car in a parking lot near his destination and walked to the food street behind the China Youth Building.
Jiang Ning was already sitting in the shop waiting for him.
Jiang Ning waved to Xiao Zhang.
Xiao Zhang walked over and sat down opposite Jiang Ning.
"You said you like spicy hot pot, and this is the most popular one near my company. But I don't know if it suits your taste. You can give it a try."
"……good……"
Xiao Zhang nodded and saw Jiang Ning hand him the menu.
Jiang Ning took the initiative to contact him today, saying she wanted to treat him to a meal.
Xiao Zhang felt flattered.
Although it was inevitable that Jiang Ning and Lu Junyan would divorce sooner or later.
However, they haven't divorced yet; Jiang Ning is still his boss's wife.
Zhang felt somewhat uneasy about dining alone with Jiang Ning.
But he could tell from the phone call that Jiang Ning probably needed his help with something.
As Lu Junyan's most capable assistant, Xiao Zhang is considered a favorite of Lu Junyan by others.
More than once, people deliberately approached him and tried to curry favor with him, all with the aim of getting benefits from Lu Junyan through him.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, Xiao Zhang will not readily agree to be invited to dinner by others.
But Jiangning is different.
Xiao Zhang wasn't sure about other things, but he was certain that Jiang Ning would never use him for personal gain.
Xiao Zhang ordered two servings of mala tang, one of which he chose blindly, and the other was recommended by Jiang Ning.
It turns out that the one Jiangning recommended was tastier.
Xiao Zhang was particularly satisfied with this meal because there weren't many good mala tang (spicy hot pot) options near the Lu Group.
"I've finished my meal, now it's time for you to explain your intentions."
Seeing that Jiang Ning hadn't gotten to the point yet, Xiao Zhang spoke first, asking a direct question.
At that moment, he saw Jiang Ning hand him a large bag.
"This is……"
"It's traditional Chinese medicine."
Upon hearing the words "traditional Chinese medicine," Xiao Zhang instantly understood Jiang Ning's intention.
This Chinese medicine was definitely brewed for Lu Junyan.
Xiao Zhang glanced down at the bag in his hand; there was a considerable amount of Chinese medicine inside.
"Drink it three times a day, one packet each time. This is a week's supply. Take the medicine with you when you go to the United States."
Jiang Ning gave these instructions while thinking to himself:
A week later, she and Lu Junyan should be able to obtain the divorce certificate from Country M.
“When you gave Lu Junyan the medicine, you said... that you brewed it.”
Xiao Zhang raised his eyelids slightly.
Jiang Ning's words were exactly what he expected.
"I don't think President Lu will believe it."
Xiao Zhang said earnestly.
This statement was exactly what Jiang Ning had expected.
She sighed and said:
"Then say it was made by Chu Qingxue."
This time, Xiao Zhang frowned.
This time, he didn't say that Lu Junyan wouldn't believe him.
Xiao Zhang is not even married, he doesn't even have a girlfriend, and he's never been in a relationship, so he personally can't understand why Jiang Ning would do such a thing.
Jiang Ning initiated the divorce.
It's not a ploy to lure you in; you genuinely want to leave.
But since they're getting a divorce anyway, why bother secretly brewing Chinese medicine for Lu Junyan and not wanting him to know?
He doesn't understand Jiang Ning.
He didn't understand Lu Junyan either.
He couldn't understand what Chu Qingxue was better than Jiang Ning that made Lu Junyan so unable to let go.
"actually……"
Xiao Zhang had barely opened his mouth when he got stuck.
Actually, if you said you made it yourself, Mr. Lu might be even happier.
Xiao Zhang couldn't bring himself to say those words.
He felt that saying that was too irresponsible.
He didn't know whether Lu Junyan would be happy or not.
Even if someone is happy inside, they might show it in a completely different way.
Lu Junyan is that kind of person.
Therefore, working alongside Lu Junyan is like walking on thin ice; if it weren't for the high salary, Xiao Zhang might not have wanted to do it.
Xiao Zhang accepted the medicine.
He didn't say anything more.
Jiang Ning smiled slightly.
She was grateful that Xiao Zhang didn't ask her why she did it.
The medicine she brewed for Lu Junyan would only last for a week.
A week later, she and Lu Junyan should be in a relationship of ex-husband and ex-wife.
