Chapter 200 Turning to Bai Yichen's Arms
Yuan Pei rolled down the car window and stared intently into the park with his big eyes.
Several cars behind him blocked the way and honked their horns incessantly.
Yuan Pei then slowly pulled the car over to the side of the road.
He was certain he hadn't misread it.
Jiang Ning was with a man.
That man must be Jiang Ning's high school classmate.
Yuan Pei had heard a little about this high school classmate.
He knew that the other party had a close relationship with Jiang Ning.
However, Yuan Pei felt uncomfortable seeing his scarf tied around Jiang Ning's neck in public.
He got out of the car and strode into the park.
"Jiangning, what a coincidence!"
Jiang Ning was surprised to hear Yuan Pei's voice.
How did you get here?
In her memory, this small park was quite remote, and the surrounding area was under development. Not to mention a snowy day like this, there were hardly any people there, even in the height of summer.
Yuan Pei said casually, "I was just passing by and saw you guys having a snowball fight. Can I join you?"
Jiang Ning: ? ? ?
So snowball fights are such an attractive sport?
Jiang Ning subconsciously looked at Bai Yichen.
She wouldn't mind bringing Yuan Pei along, but Bai Yichen and Yuan Pei didn't know each other.
Yuan Pei approached Bai Yichen, frowning and raising his chin, looking every bit the part of a show of defiance.
Jiang Ning watched from the side, completely bewildered.
She didn't quite understand why Yuan Pei was so hostile towards Bai Yichen when they first met!
"This is my high school classmate, Bai Yichen."
Jiang Ning took the initiative to introduce Yuan Pei and Bai Yichen to each other.
"This is Yuan Pei... Lu Junyan's good friend."
"He's also your good friend."
Yuan Pei corrected him angrily.
Jiang Ning gave an awkward twitch of his lips.
Are she and Yuan Pei... considered good friends?
"Yuan Pei, is it alright for you to have a snowball fight with us here? What about your company?"
Jiang Ning asked curiously.
However, in her impression, Yuan Pei wasn't particularly ambitious.
"I'm not going to the company..." Yuan Pei waved his hand at Jiang Ning, "By the way, Jiang Ning, didn't you know Brother Lu is in the hospital?"
Jiang Ning was taken aback.
Beside him, Bai Yichen pressed, "What happened to him?"
He fainted due to a stomachache.
When did this happen?
"This morning!"
After listening to Yuan Pei's words, Bai Yichen lowered his eyelids slightly.
"So you didn't know! No wonder you were still in the mood for a snowball fight here."
Jiang Ning crossed his arms over his chest.
"Now I know we can have snowball fights too!"
"Aren't you going to visit Brother Lu?"
"I'm not going."
Jiang Ning refused very decisively.
Yuan Pei opened his mouth, but didn't try to persuade Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning is now divorced from Lu Junyan, so there's nothing wrong with her not visiting him.
Judging from Jiang Ning's appearance, she has completely let go of her feelings for Lu Junyan, which Yuan Pei is actually quite happy to see.
But the thought of Jiang Ning abandoning Lu Junyan and turning to Bai Yichen made him unable to feel happy.
Just before the snowball fight started, Jiang Ning's phone suddenly rang, and the caller ID made his expression turn serious.
"Excuse me, I need to take this call."
After speaking to Bai Yichen and Yuan Pei, she turned and walked deeper into the park, clearly not wanting anyone else to hear her phone conversation.
Yuan Pei and Bai Yichen, who were left behind, looked at each other in bewilderment.
Yuan Pei stared intently at Bai Yichen's face, scrutinizing him closely.
Bai Yichen is handsome, a thousand times, ten thousand times more handsome than the male leads in current period dramas.
However, the more Yuan Pei looked at it, the more he frowned and the more disgusted he became.
Pshaw, pretty boy.
This is how he evaluated Bai Yichen in his heart.
Seeing Yuan Pei staring at him with an unfriendly gaze, Bai Yichen smiled instead of getting angry.
"Mr. Yuan, you like Aning too, don't you?"
Bai Yichen's tone was as if he were asking about the weather today.
Yuan Pei's face flushed red instantly.
"Who, who likes her? Me and her... we're just friends..."
Yuan Pei stammered as he spoke, his face growing hotter and hotter, as if he were being steamed, and his chest pounding.
Bai Yichen smiled faintly.
"That's good……"
"What do you mean by 'that's good'? Explain yourself clearly."
Yuan Pei glared at Bai Yichen.
Bai Yichen's gentle and refined face still held a faint smile, and his voice was as clean and clear as falling snow on the ground.
However, what he said shocked Yuan Pei.
"Because Aning will be mine sooner or later, I advise you not to have any delusions about her."
Just as Bai Yichen declared war on Yuan Pei, deep within the park, Jiang Ning was making a phone call.
The person on the other end of the phone was Zhong Cheng.
"The phone number and bank account you gave me before were both overseas virtual numbers. I'm still investigating who's behind the server. They're very cunning. All I know for now is that they're in the US, but it's also possible they're not targeting you, just selling virtual numbers... As for who used the virtual number that hired the thugs, I've found out..."
Jiang Ning listened silently, the names already appearing in his mind, all that was missing was concrete evidence.
"She is Fu Xinyue, the daughter of the Fu family."
In the ward, Xiao Zhang was reporting the investigation results to Lu Junyan.
Lu Junyan's furrowed brows relaxed slightly.
"Okay, you can leave now!"
"yes."
After Xiao Zhang left the ward, Lu Junyan frowned again, his brows furrowing tightly.
My stomach, which had finally stopped hurting, started to ache again.
When he heard Xiao Zhang say that Fu Xinyue was the one who was directing the thugs behind the scenes, he actually breathed a sigh of relief.
However……
Is Chu Qingxue really completely unrelated to this matter?
As the mastermind behind the scenes, was it really necessary for Fu Xinyue to insist that the thugs ruin Jiang Ning's hands no matter what?
The more Lu Junyan thought about it, the more his stomach ached.
The image of a young girl appeared in his mind.
The little girl was only twelve or thirteen years old. She was pretty, but she had dyed her hair a granny gray and wore a mouthful of braces. It was hard to tell whether she was well-behaved or rebellious.
Lu Junyan pressed hard against his chest, his expression conflicted.
so……
Has he changed?
Or has his Achu changed?
Or perhaps...
Have they both changed?
For three days in a row, Chu Qingxue went nowhere and did nothing.
She locked herself in her room and turned off the internet.
Nowadays, it's very difficult for her to continue working in the jewelry design industry.
However, she doesn't know anything else besides jewelry design.
Her PhD in psychology was all fake; she bought it to present herself as outstanding and all-around capable in front of others.
Fan Yali suggested that she lie down and play dead for now, and wait for the storm in Jiangning to pass. With the connections she had built up by relying on Lu Junyan, she would still have a chance to make a comeback.
Chu Qingxue also thought it made sense, so she temporarily handed over her studio to her deputy to manage.
Even if her existing clients don't want to continue working with her later, at least they have contracts for now, she hasn't breached them, and it's unlikely that they would risk terminating the contracts with her prematurely.
However, on the evening of the fourth day, Chu Qingxue received a phone call from her deputy:
"President Chu, something terrible has happened!"
