Chapter 205 Lu Group's Centennial Celebration
Jiang Ning was somewhat surprised to see Lu Junyan downstairs at his own home.
She didn't see Lu Junyan's flashy luxury car nearby, and Lu Junyan was dressed more warmly than usual, which made her wonder if Lu Junyan hadn't driven at all, but had walked there instead.
Bai Yichen stopped the car, right in front of Lu Junyan.
He and Jiang Ning, who were in the car, could see Lu Junyan clearly.
Lu Junyan, standing outside the car, could clearly see Jiang Ning and Bai Yichen.
Lu Junyan frowned, his displeasure evident on his face.
Bai Yichen got off the bus at the same time as Jiang Ning.
Lu Junyan could tell that Bai Yichen seemed afraid that he would bully Jiang Ning, so he couldn't help but shrug and smile.
"Aren't you going to invite me up for a seat?"
Jiang Ning noticed that Lu Junyan's nose was red from the cold, as if he had been waiting downstairs at her house for a long time.
She couldn't help but feel surprised.
Before the divorce, she didn't remember Lu Junyan so frequently making his face in front of her.
"Just say it here if you need anything."
Jiang Ning's answer was exactly what Lu Junyan expected.
However, imagining it in your mind and actually hearing it are two different things.
The voice Jiang Ning actually heard was even colder than Lu Junyan had imagined.
"It's cold here."
Lu Junyan calmly uttered these words.
"Then let's talk in the car..."
Jiang Ning turned around and looked around for Lu Junyan's car, only to hear Lu Junyan add casually:
"I didn't drive... I walked here."
Jiang Ning couldn't help but think to himself: "They really did come all this way!"
Where did you come from?
Lu's Group?
Or is it the Jade Pavilion on the Cloud Top?
But no matter where you come from, the journey is long enough.
In the dead of winter, instead of driving, they insisted on walking...
Jiang Ning raised her eyelids slightly.
Could it be that Lu Junyan deliberately didn't drive in order to create a reason for him to be forced to enter?
Jiang Ning and Lu Junyan faced each other, an awkward stalemate between them.
After a moment, Bai Yichen spoke up: "I have a car, you can come in and talk."
"unnecessary."
Lu Junyan refused decisively.
Jiang Ning gently patted Bai Yichen's arm.
"It's alright, you can go back now!"
"But……"
"I'll call you if anything happens."
Bai Yichen opened his mouth, gasped, and said nothing more.
He was absolutely worried about Jiang Ning and Lu Junyan being alone together, especially at Jiang Ning's home.
But he didn't want to overprotect Jiang Ning and make her feel restricted.
In the end, Bai Yichen silently watched as Jiang Ning led Lu Junyan upstairs.
He understood that Jiang Ning wanted him to go back first because she knew he had been busy with work lately and wanted him to go back and rest.
But Lu Junyan was at home in Jiangning at the moment, and he had no intention of leaving.
Bai Yichen returned to his car, but the car didn't move.
Upstairs, Lu Junyan entered Jiang Ning's home.
This was not his first time visiting this old house on Sanhu Street.
But this time, it was the first time he had carefully observed the furnishings and decorations in the house.
Although the house is not large, it has all the necessary facilities.
Jiangning didn't renovate, but the decor had a certain style and taste.
It costs very little money, but the results are excellent.
This involuntarily reminded Lu Junyan of the Jade Pavilion on the Cloud Top—
This was his and Jiang Ning's original marital home.
The style of the wedding room was initially decided by his mother, and Jiang Ning had no say in it, nor did he ever try to gain any say in it.
But after the marriage, he mentioned to Jiang Ning that he didn't like the nouveau riche style his mother had decorated, so gradually, the interior design of the house changed.
It has become fresher and warmer.
Just like this house on Sanhu Street.
After Jiang Ning left, the interior design of Yunding Jade Pavilion remained unchanged, but the previous warmth was completely gone, leaving it empty and desolate.
Jiang Ning thought that Lu Junyan would get straight to the point after entering the house, but Lu Junyan first looked around her home and then stared intently at her sofa.
At first, his gaze was relatively calm, but it gradually became sharp, and his brows furrowed more and more deeply.
Jiang Ning couldn't understand why Lu Junyan was getting angry at a sofa.
Could the sofa she bought online be from a competitor of a subsidiary of the Lu Group?
Jiang Ning was both amused and exasperated.
Finally, after a long silence, Lu Junyan turned to look at Jiang Ning and spoke:
"Aren't you going to pour me a cup of coffee?"
Jiang Ning shrugged, not knowing what time Lu Junyan was stalling for.
If we stay at her house for even one more minute, will Lu's Group's stock rise by another limit up?
Out of politeness, Jiang Ning poured Lu Junyan a glass of water.
Lu Junyan thanked him and looked down to see that the cup contained not coffee, but ordinary boiled water.
He took a small sip; it was quite sweet.
It tastes better than coffee.
Jiang Ning sat down on the sofa and silently watched Lu Junyan stand there drinking water, seemingly enjoying it immensely.
"The water in my kettle is from the previous day."
Lu Junyan paused in his drinking.
"What is it? Tell me quickly!"
Jiang Ning felt that if he didn't urge Lu Junyan, Lu Junyan would most likely drink water that had been sitting overnight all night.
"Next month... is the Lu Group's centennial celebration, don't forget to attend."
Jiang Ning was taken aback, then belatedly realized what was happening—
She's also a shareholder of the Lu Group!
"Okay, sure."
After Jiang Ning finished speaking, he saw Lu Junyan continue drinking water that had been sitting overnight.
Jiang Ning tilted his head.
Is there anything else?
"there is none left."
Jiangning: ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Therefore, Lu Junyan would rather not drive and walk a long distance in the cold to her building than not go upstairs to talk to her about what he wanted to discuss.
Is it to remind her to attend the Lu Group's centennial celebration?
Is this something that can't be said over the phone, written on WeChat, or mentioned downstairs?
Jiang Ning looked at Lu Junyan with a puzzled expression.
Are you sure you don't have anything else to tell me?
"Um……"
"Didn't Chu Qingxue tell you that I tore up her invitation tonight and had security throw her out?"
Lu Junyan paused again while drinking water.
"...She said it."
Jiang Ning sneered.
She knew that Lu Junyan's trip was definitely for Chu Qingxue.
"Attending the centennial celebration is just a pretext. What you really want to talk to me about is Chu Qingxue, isn't it?"
Chu Qingxue has been expelled from the jewelry industry association, and all her existing clients have left.
Jiang Ning's next step is to find a way to get the bank to cut off Chu Qingxue's loan and then get all investors except Lu Junyan to withdraw their investment.
Although Lu Junyan is protecting her, Chu Qingxue will not go bankrupt, but it will at least severely damage her health.
Lu Junyan silently watched Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning's expression was still so easy to guess.
"Qingxue poses no threat to you right now. You don't need to hate her so much because of me. She just wants to be an ordinary jewelry designer. If you continue to target her like this, her company will go out of business sooner or later."
