Chapter 214 Jiang Ning is my wife
After many years, Lin Yueheng has aged, but he still looks quite good. With his hair slicked back and dressed in a suit and tie, he certainly has the aura of a high-ranking political official.
Because Chu Yao takes good care of herself, the signs of aging are not obvious.
The first thing Jiang Ning saw was the glistening tears in Chu Yao's eyes.
Chu Yao held Lin Yueheng's hand tightly, clearly trying her best to suppress her excitement.
However, Jiang Ning considered this excitement worthless.
Jiang Ning turned to leave, but Lin Yueheng stopped him.
“Ah… Jiangning…”
Jiang Ning heard Lin Yueheng calling her, but she didn't stop.
Instead, it was Pete, who was arm in arm with Jiang Ning, who stopped.
He was puzzled as to why the Foreign Minister of Country C would know Jiang Ning.
"Jiang Ning, Minister Lin is calling you!"
Yang Liyun walked over, first giving Jiang Ning a disapproving look, then said to Lin Yueheng, "I'm sorry, Minister Lin, she was very rude."
Lin Yueheng's face instantly turned cold.
"Does Mrs. Lu know Jiang Ning?"
"I know her all too well, I used to be her..."
Before Yang Liyun could finish speaking, Lu Yexiong cleared his throat.
Yang Liyun immediately shut her mouth.
She almost forgot that they had never told the Lin family that Lu Junyan had been married before and was now divorced.
Lu Yexiong was really fed up with Yang Liyun's unrestrained speech.
Lin Yueheng glanced at Lu Yexiong and Yang Liyun without changing his expression, his eyes no longer as polite and friendly as before.
"Jiang Ning, do you know them?"
Whether you know me or not is none of your business.
Jiang Ning's attitude did not anger Lin Yueheng, but it did anger Yang Liyun.
"What kind of attitude is that! What did Minister Lin do to you...?"
"Mrs. Lu."
Jiang Ning stepped forward, his face grim as he approached Yang Liyun.
Yang Liyun shrank her neck, suddenly feeling as if she was being swallowed up by Jiang Ning's aura.
“You are no longer my mother-in-law, you have no right to lecture me, please have some self-respect.”
"Mother-in-law?!"
Lin Yueheng and Chu Yao exclaimed in unison, greatly surprised.
At this moment, Lu Junyan and Lin Wanrong also came over.
"Jiang Ning is my wife..."
Lu Junyan's introduction stunned Lin Wanrong, who was standing next to him.
Jiang Ning was also stunned.
Shouldn't she be called his ex-wife?
Just as she opened her mouth to explain, Yang Liyun spoke first.
"They are divorced now."
Lin Yueheng's brows furrowed more and more deeply.
Yang Liyun mistakenly believed that Lin Yueheng was unhappy that Lu Junyan was divorced and not good enough for their daughter, so she quickly clarified:
"Junyan only married Jiang Ning out of gratitude; he was forced by his grandfather, so it doesn't count..."
"Say less."
Lu Yexiong couldn't help but lower his voice and yell at Yang Liyun.
Lin Yueheng never looked at Yang Liyun from beginning to end; his gaze passed through the guests and landed on Zhong Cheng.
Zhong Cheng wasn't oblivious to the resentment in Lin Yueheng's eyes.
But he felt he was really wronged.
Back then, after Lin Chu became Jiang Ning, it was Lin Yueheng who personally told him that he didn't need to report the specific situation of Jiang Ning to him.
Lu Junyan's gaze lingered between Jiang Ning and Lin Yueheng.
His intuition told him that Jiang Ning and Lin Yueheng knew each other.
Lu Junyan's thin lips opened and closed again, but he swallowed back the question that was about to come out.
Because he knew that even if he asked, Jiang Ning wouldn't answer.
"So, is this gentleman your current boyfriend?"
Lin Yueheng pointed at Pete.
Everyone else could see Lin Yueheng's concern for Jiang Ning, but they didn't understand why.
"How could Minister Lin ask such a private question? Or is Minister Lin someone I have to report to you for?"
Jiang Ning's retort left Lin Yueheng speechless.
Beside her, Chu Yao lowered her head, silently grieving.
Pete was a little confused about Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning only needed to answer no, but he retorted with such a harsh tone, which is not in line with his usual style.
However, despite his surprise, Pete wouldn't interfere in Jiang Ning's affairs.
"Some people aren't very capable, but they have quite a temper."
Yang Liyun just couldn't stand how Jiang Ning was picking on Lin Yueheng.
In her eyes, the Lin family was already her in-laws.
"Jiang Ning, you're taking advantage of Minister Lin's leniency? Let me tell you, this charity gala is hosted by the Z Kingdom's royal family. Minister Lin and Prince William of Z Kingdom have a very good relationship. If you offend him, believe me, Prince William will kick you out!"
In Yang Liyun's view, Jiang Ning was nothing more than Pete's female companion, a pretty vase.
At that moment, music started playing, and the guests walked into the dance floor in pairs.
"Lu Junyan, will you dance with me?"
Lin Wanrong spoke to Lu Junyan on her own initiative.
"Dancing is good, dancing is good, Junyan, hurry up and go!"
Yang Liyun pushed Lu Junyan next to Lin Wanrong.
Lu Junyan glanced subtly at Jiang Ning and said softly, "Okay."
Then he bent his arm, gesturing for Lin Wanrong to take his arm.
Lin Wanrong smiled confidently and took Lu Junyan's arm.
As the two entered the dance floor, Lu Junyan turned to look at Jiang Ning, only to see Jiang Ning turn her face away, looking annoyed about something.
Her charming smile curved her lips into a slight arc.
This smile fell into Lin Wanrong's eyes. Lin Wanrong held Lu Junyan's arm with one hand and lifted the hem of her fishtail skirt with the other. She walked with her head held high and her chest out, becoming more and more confident.
Lin Wanrong's red embroidered fishtail dress was already eye-catching, and coupled with her good figure, she and Lu Junyan dancing together made them a perfect match, instantly becoming the focus of the dance floor.
Yang Liyun crossed her arms and said smugly to Jiang Ning:
"See? Only a rich young lady like Lin Wanrong is worthy of Junyan."
"Well then, I wish them a happy marriage, a long and harmonious life together, and a love stronger than gold."
Jiang Ning gave Yang Liyun a bright smile.
If Lu Junyan really marries Lin Wanrong, it would be tantamount to helping her get revenge on Chu Qingxue, so why wouldn't she be happy to do so?
Seeing Jiang Ning turn away with a flourish, Yang Liyun rolled her eyes and muttered to herself:
"Tch, just putting on a brave face."
Jiang Ning had originally planned to go dancing with Pete, but they were stopped by someone before they could.
The man had blond hair and blue eyes, wore an extremely formal black tailcoat with a white bow tie, and exuded an air of nobility in every gesture.
Yang Liyun became interested as soon as she saw that the other party was Prince William of China.
"Honey, look! Isn't Jiang Ning about to be kicked out?"
Yang Liyun laughed gleefully.
"Of course, only the powerful and wealthy of high society are qualified to attend such occasions. Does Jiang Ning even deserve it?"
Yang Liyun pulled Lu Yexiong along, waiting to see the joke.
Beside him, Lin Yueheng, Chu Yao, and Zhong Cheng stood together, all three of them looking at Jiang Ning.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Prince William suddenly opened his arms and gave Jiang Ning a big bear hug.
