Chapter 209 Already in Love with Jiang Ning
"Fu Xinyue, what do you mean by this!"
Fu Xinyue looked up and saw Chu Qingxue storming into her office, waving at her assistant.
The assistant left, closed the office door, and locked Fu Xinyue and Chu Qingxue inside.
"You have the nerve to question me? If I hadn't been trying to help you, would I have offended Lu Junyan?"
Chu Qingxue was initially filled with anger, but upon hearing Fu Xinyue's words, she immediately felt uneasy.
"So, it was really Junyan who brought down your Fu family?"
"Who else could it be but him!"
Fu Xinyue couldn't help but roll her eyes.
She had initially thought that Chu Qingxue would be a good helper in dealing with Jiang Ning, but Jiang Ning not only escaped unscathed, but his career also flourished.
Then look at her, she's almost bankrupted by Lu Junyan. A once-prosperous socialite, she's now burdened with a mountain of debt.
Fu Xinyue became angrier the more she thought about it.
"Chu Qingxue, are you really Lu Junyan's first love and white moonlight? Lu Junyan is targeting our Fu family, clearly to avenge Jiang Ning. Has he already fallen in love with Jiang Ning?"
"impossible!"
Chu Qingxue denied it decisively.
However, the more agitated Chu Qingxue became, the more ridiculous Fu Xinyue found her.
This is like the reaction people have when their sore spot is touched.
Seeing that Fu Xinyue was mocking her, Chu Qingxue crossed her arms and retorted:
"You can't even keep a man by your side, aren't you the same? Now that your Fu family is in turmoil, Ning Junzhe didn't want to marry you in the first place, doesn't this give you even more of an excuse?"
"Chu Qingxue!"
Fu Xinyue raised her hand to slap, but Chu Qingxue grabbed her wrist.
"Forget it, let's not fight amongst ourselves. Fighting amongst ourselves will only benefit Jiang Ning."
After hearing Chu Qingxue's words, Fu Xinyue snorted coldly and withdrew her hand.
Chu Qingxue was right. Ever since the Fu family got into trouble and was targeted by Lu Junyan, the Ning family not only didn't offer any help, but instead kicked her while she was down and wanted to break off the engagement.
Fu Xinyue blamed all of this on Jiang Ning.
"Now, we should think carefully about how to bring down Jiangning. In the end, it's all Jiangning's fault. What's the point of having someone retaliate against Junyan?"
Seeing Chu Qingxue's anxious expression towards Lu Junyan, Fu Xinyue couldn't help but sneer.
"What, feeling sorry for him? But your Lu Junyan's heart is completely devoted to Jiang Ning!"
"I said no, so it's no!"
Chu Qingxue couldn't help but yell at Fu Xinyue.
She absolutely refused to believe that Lu Junyan's actions against the Fu family were to avenge Jiang Ning.
However, at the same time, she couldn't help but feel fortunate that it was Fu Xinyue who hired the thugs that time; she was just giving advice and fanning the flames.
Chu Qingxue took a deep breath, still feeling somewhat guilty.
She was afraid that Lu Junyan would find out some clues.
Fu Xinyue watched Chu Qingxue from the side, thinking to herself that Chu Qingxue was still deceiving herself.
She never sent anyone to retaliate against Lu Junyan.
Even if Lu Junyan were to attack the Fu family, she wouldn't dare send someone to stab him.
She only revealed some information to the head of the comprehensive department when he begged her not to lay him off. For example, the reason why Xinyue Real Estate was being targeted was because Lu Junyan wanted to vent his anger on behalf of Jiang Ning. He was laid off and lost his job, all because of Jiang Ning.
Fu Xinyue thought that the person who should have been stabbed was Jiang Ning.
So it was Lu Junyan who took that blow for Jiang Ning.
Having gone to such lengths, she couldn't believe that Lu Junyan still had feelings for Chu Qingxue.
Even if there were any, there wouldn't be much left.
"Chu Qingxue, I've helped you a lot before, and every time I ended up getting into trouble while you happily hid behind the scenes pretending to have a peaceful life. You don't actually think that I, Fu Xinyue, would willingly be someone's pawn, do you?"
Chu Qingxue pouted.
Of course she knew that Fu Xinyue was dissatisfied with her.
"Alright, then I'll take the lead this time. What good ideas do you have? As long as we can trample Jiangning under our feet, that's fine."
A sinister grin spread across Chu Qingxue's face.
Outside the hospital, Jiang Ning found a small shop and had a late-night snack with Bai Yichen.
Although Bai Yichen didn't say anything, Jiang Ning sensed that Bai Yichen was unhappy because he was quiet.
"Bai Yichen... Lu Junyan was injured because of me, I'm just staying at the hospital to take care of him for a few days."
Jiang Ning spoke cautiously while observing Bai Yichen's expression.
"Yes, I understand. I'm not angry with you."
Although Bai Yichen's tone wasn't harsh, it was clear he was angry. Jiang Ning's lips twitched.
In fact, Bai Yichen was angry.
But it wasn't that she was angry with Jiang Ning.
He was angry at himself.
Why wasn't he by Jiangning's side when Jiangning was in danger and needed help and protection the most?
If he had been there, he would have stepped forward to shield Jiang Ning from the attack.
However……
This opportunity, however, fell to Lu Junyan.
Bai Yichen's two delicate eyebrows furrowed into a frown.
Sometimes, he felt grateful to God for blessing him, allowing him to wake up and return to Jiangning healthy.
But sometimes he couldn't help but complain that God hadn't blessed him enough.
Now that he has returned to Jiang Ning's side, and now that Jiang Ning has divorced Lu Junyan, why can't he make a clean break?
"Ah Ning, the person who stabbed Lu Junyan has been caught. He confessed without hesitation, saying that he hated Lu Junyan because he was laid off... He wasn't injured for you..."
"Um……"
Jiang Ning lowered his eyes slightly.
Lu Junyan said the same thing.
However, Jiang Ning trusted his own judgment more than what others said.
At least she personally experienced the perilous situation at the time.
She saw it clearly; if Lu Junyan hadn't stepped forward, the knife would have pierced her abdomen.
Jiang Ning and Bai Yichen ate their late-night snack in silence.
After they finished eating, Bai Yichen didn't say he didn't want her to stay at the hospital to take care of Lu Junyan, but the coldness he exuded from head to toe said it all.
This was the first time she and Bai Yichen had parted on bad terms.
In the dead of night, Jiang Ning returned to Lu Junyan's hospital room.
She didn't tell Bai Yichen that she hadn't originally planned to stay and take care of Lu Junyan.
But Yuan Pei told her that Lu Junyan refused to have anyone accompany him.
Jiang Ning instinctively realized that Lu Junyan was deliberately forcing her to comply.
She either stays, or she has to watch helplessly as Lu Junyan is seriously injured and hospitalized, with no one by his side.
If she tells Bai Yichen about this, Bai Yichen will definitely be able to guess Lu Junyan's little scheme, and he will have to do everything he can to stop her from staying.
In the hospital room, Lu Junyan was not asleep; he was looking at company documents.
"Have you finished dinner with your protector?"
He didn't even look up, asking casually.
"Yes, I also brought you a bowl of porridge."
Jiang Ning held up the food bag he was carrying.
Lu Junyan finally raised his head and met Jiang Ning's gaze.
Lu Junyan's eyes were as deep as the night, yet also seemed to twinkle with countless stars.
"You know that by refusing anyone else's company, I'm forcing you to stay and take care of me..."
"I know."
Jiang Ning nodded, noticing a complex mix of emotions churning in Lu Junyan's eyes.
"So you're still willing to stay?"
