Chapter 213 Found a New Man
Yang Liyun rolled her eyes at Jiang Ning fiercely.
But the words "unfaithful to women" were stuck in her throat and she couldn't bring herself to say them.
Because Jiang Ning has already divorced Lu Junyan, she is no longer Lu's daughter-in-law.
Logically speaking, even if Jiang Ning has a new boyfriend, it's not their place to interfere.
However, Yang Liyun just couldn't get over this mental hurdle.
For Jiang Ning, an ordinary woman from a humble background, to marry into the Lu family was a blessing earned over several lifetimes; it was a stroke of good fortune for her.
As a result, Jiang Ning didn't appreciate her good fortune and kept saying she wanted to divorce Lu Junyan, causing a lot of trouble and repeatedly implicating the Lu family.
And now that she's divorced, she's immediately found a new man.
Yang Liyun just couldn't stand Jiang Ning, a woman who was so fickle and promiscuous.
She tugged at Lu Yexiong's sleeve, signaling him to say something to Jiang Ning, but Lu Yexiong only glanced at Jiang Ning with his eyes full of dissatisfaction.
The Lu family of three had such sharp eyes that it was impossible for Pete not to notice them.
However, Jiang Ning chatted and laughed with him the whole time, without even glancing at the three members of the Lu family.
Both parties' destination was the First Ballroom of the Royal Victoria Cruises.
As soon as Jiang Ning stepped into the banquet hall, his feet suddenly felt like they were filled with lead and he couldn't move.
Pete, walking beside her, was completely bewildered. Following Jiang Ning's gaze, he saw three people.
These three people are also a family of three.
Pete blinked.
Although he wasn't very familiar with Country C, he did know a little about the Lin family, the biggest financial backer of Country C.
At this moment, Jiang Ning's gaze was fixed on the Lin family member.
The man is Lin Yueheng, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Country C, and the woman is his wife, Chu Yao, the nominal chairman of the Lin Group, who is also a first-class pianist.
Standing between the two of them, Pete guessed, was the adopted daughter of the Lin family.
Pete only learned about the Lin family's adopted daughter from casual conversations with others.
Her name seems to be Lin Wanrong.
Since she is standing between Lin Yueheng and Chu Yao, and is a young girl, then this person must be Lin Wanrong.
Pete subconsciously sized up the other person.
The other woman was wearing a bright red dress embroidered with gold, the bodycon fishtail design highlighting her alluring figure.
Although it was a fishtail dress, it had a long train. The red color was already eye-catching, and it was covered with shimmering gold embroidery. Combined with her light gold curly hair and mature, heavy makeup, she easily became the focus of attention in the banquet hall.
This outfit and demeanor surprised Pitt.
Such high-profile confidence is inconsistent with his usual perception of his adopted daughter.
Pete couldn't help but wonder, why was Jiang Ning so concerned about the Lin family when he showed no reaction to the Lu family?
Is it because Lin Wanrong's outfit was too eye-catching that people couldn't help but take a few more glances?
Guests entered the banquet hall one after another.
Jiang Ning never expected that she would run into these two people on a cruise ship in Country Z, even though she hadn't encountered them on several trips to Country C.
When the other person looked over, Jiang Ning looked away, intending to pull Pete away to walk a little further away.
However, she recognizes them, but they may not recognize her.
After all, they hadn't seen her for many years.
Jiang Ning suddenly thought of Lu Junyan.
Lu Junyan, who once vowed never to forget her, that he would recognize her no matter how much time passed or what she looked like—
I didn't recognize her.
She figured Lin Yueheng and Chu Yao probably wouldn't recognize her.
Just as Jiang Ning turned around, another person entered her field of vision.
The other person naturally reached out and waved at her.
Jiang Ning was taken aback, then returned the other person's smile.
As Pete watched Jiang Ning's reaction, his curiosity grew stronger.
"Do you know Minister Lin's assistant?"
Jiang Ning withdrew his gaze and looked at Pete.
She could tell that Pete was very curious.
She was too lazy to talk about her entanglements with the Lin family, and simply gave a perfunctory "hmm".
Peter could tell that Jiang Ning didn't want to say more, so he didn't press the matter further.
Just as the two of them were about to walk hand in hand into the banquet hall, Yang Liyun's cry of "Minister Lin" made Jiang Ning's ears hurt.
Lu Yexiong and Yang Liyun went straight to Lin Yueheng and Chu Yao, both of them wearing fake smiles.
The two shook hands and began exchanging polite greetings.
Jiang Ning watched from the side, raising his eyelids slightly.
This was the first time she had ever seen Yang Liyun so warm and attentive.
She was quite surprised to see Yang Liyun at the charity gala.
In her memory, Lu Yexiong rarely brought Yang Liyun to these social occasions, but he often brought along female companions such as minor celebrities and models.
Lu Junyan slowly approached Lin Yueheng and Chu Yao.
It wasn't that he deliberately slowed down; it was because he didn't speed up like Lu Yexiong and Yang Liyun.
That's why he seemed slow.
"So this is Mr. Lu's son? It's truly better to see him in person than to have heard so much about him!"
Lin Yueheng and Chu Yao both looked at Lu Junyan and praised his looks and temperament.
Lu Junyan can be considered a young talent in the business world of Country A, and even those in Country C have heard of him.
Pete watched from the side, frowning.
"Could it be... that the Lu family wants to matchmake Lu Junyan and Lin Wanrong?"
Upon hearing this, Pete immediately looked at Jiang Ning, fearing that his words might provoke Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning's face remained calm.
Now everything is connected.
Why was Lu Junyan in Country C on Valentine's Day, and why did he go to watch Lin Wanrong's racing competition?
So... the new wife that Lu Yexiong and Yang Liyun chose for Lu Junyan was actually Lin Wanrong?
Jiang Ning touched his chin.
Pete had assumed that Jiang Ning would be sad or angry to see Lu Junyan intentionally contacting Lin Wanrong.
Jiang Ning, however, was laughing, laughing with great interest.
In fact, Lu Junyan and Lin Wanrong's relationship did pique Jiang Ning's interest.
If she remembered correctly, hadn't Lu Junyan already promised Chu Qingxue that he would give Chu Qingxue a proper status after divorcing her?
Judging from the way Lu Yexiong and Yang Liyun looked, they clearly regarded the Lin family's adopted daughter as their dream future daughter-in-law.
So, what does Chu Qingxue become?
Suppose that one day, Lu Junyan and Lin Wanrong really do get married...
Jiang Ning felt a sense of satisfaction just imagining Chu Qingxue's reaction.
Jiang Ning was engrossed in imagining how Lin Wanrong would strike Chu Qingxue when suddenly, Lu Junyan turned his head and their eyes met unexpectedly.
When Lu Junyan's cold face met her gaze, a wicked smile suddenly bloomed on his lips.
The meaning of that smile is not hard to understand.
Jiang Ning knew perfectly well that, given Lu Junyan's narcissism, he must have mistakenly thought that she was looking in their direction because she was jealous of Lin Wanrong.
Jiang Ning had just looked away when she saw Lin Yueheng and Chu Yao walking towards her.
