Chapter 240 You've Fallen in Love with Jiang Ning
Lu Junyan paused as he put down the wine bottle.
He gazed calmly at Chu Qingxue, watching the tears welling up in her large, watery eyes.
To say that I don't feel any pain would be a lie.
After all, Chu Qingxue was his first love, the one who had shared hardships and life-and-death experiences with him in the juvenile detention center.
But……
"sorry."
Lu Junyan took the initiative to apologize.
Chu Qingxue was stunned.
You have to understand how difficult it is to hear those three sincere words from Lu Junyan.
However, at this moment, Chu Qingxue did not want to hear those three words at all, not even a little bit!
"Junyan..."
She could clearly see the heartache in Lu Junyan's eyes, but at the same time, she could also see the resolute determination in Lu Junyan's heart.
"I can no longer give you my love..."
Lu Junyan said calmly and decisively.
"I said this to you when I picked you up on the day you returned to China."
Chu Qingxue's mind went blank.
Yes……
When she reunited with Lu Junyan after many years since returning to China, Lu Junyan clearly told her—
"I can no longer give you my love... because I'm married."
However, Chu Qingxue never believed it.
What's so special about getting married?
Lu Junyan did not marry Jiang Ning because he loved her.
He married Jiang Ning to spite her, to get revenge on her, and because of his grandfather's orders.
Now that she's back, all Lu Junyan needs to do is divorce Jiang Ning and marry her, and everything will be back on track.
So what are you trying to say?
Chu Qingxue grabbed Lu Junyan's collar tightly.
Are you trying to say you've fallen in love with Jiang Ning?
"..."
"You're leaving me because you've fallen in love with Jiang Ning?!"
Chu Qingxue roared hoarsely.
"no……"
Lu Junyan shook his head.
However, Chu Qingxue couldn't tell which question Lu Junyan's "no" was answering.
The first one?
Or the second one?
"From the moment you chose to break up with me and go abroad to study... we could never be together again..."
Lu Junyan's calm and collected words made Chu Qingxue's face turn deathly pale.
He once thought that his feelings for Achu would never change.
Initially, the joy of losing and then regaining Chu Qingxue made Lu Junyan, in his final year of high school, dote on her immensely.
But his grandfather didn't like Chu Qingxue.
Just as he was racking his brains to change the bad impression Chu Qingxue had left on his grandfather, Chu Qingxue chose to go abroad for further studies while his grandfather was hospitalized.
He wouldn't abandon his grandfather, so Chu Qingxue broke up with him.
Lu Junyan never imagined that his A Chu would force him to choose between his beloved grandfather and her.
To this day, Lu Junyan still can't understand it.
Has he changed?
Or has his Achu changed?
Seeing the confusion, struggle, and contradiction in Lu Junyan's eyes, Chu Qingxue forcefully pushed Lu Junyan away.
"No...you can't not love me, you're just getting revenge for me dumping you, right?"
"..."
"Lu Junyan, you swore you would only love me for the rest of your life, are you going to break your promise?!"
Chu Qingxue's hysterical questioning left Lu Junyan speechless.
It was precisely because he did not want to break his vow that Lu Junyan tried and worked hard, and also gave Chu Qingxue the greatest dignity in front of outsiders.
However……
Lu Junyan picked up a bottle of Ace of Spades and gulped it down in one go.
Even after downing a bottle of wine, Lu Junyan's dark eyes remained perfectly clear.
"What do you want? I can make it up to you..."
Hospital.
Jiang Ning was playing on her phone when Pete came to visit her.
"I have some valuable news for you, would you like to hear it?"
Jiang Ning looked up, his eyes showing a hint of interest as he gazed at Pete.
"What is it? Is it related to jewelry design?"
"clever."
As he spoke, Pete sent a document to Jiang Ning.
"A mineral vein was recently discovered in Phosphorus Rock Mountain in Country C. The government of Country C hired an exploration company called CD to survey it, and it was confirmed that there are rare gemstones and ultra-high-quality diamonds inside, with estimated reserves worth more than five billion... There are reliable sources that the government of Country C is preparing to open up mining rights, and our FY is interested in bidding. Would you like to give it a try?"
Jiang Ning raised an eyebrow, not answering Pete's question, but instead raising his own:
Who participated in the bidding?
"Many mining companies are quite interested, as are several jewelry groups, and..."
Pete paused for a moment at this point.
"And what?"
Jiang Ning asked curiously.
"And I heard that... Chu Qingxue raised a lot of money from the Lu family, probably taking away all of the Lu family's working capital... It was approved by Lu Junyan alone."
Even if Pete hadn't emphasized that last sentence, Jiang Ning would have guessed it.
Nowadays, Lu Yexiong and Yang Liyun's minds are entirely on the Lin family. How could they possibly allow the Lu family to invest all of their liquid assets in Chu Qingxue?
Pete had initially thought that telling Jiang Ning about this would make her feel bad.
Regardless of whether Jiang Ning still loves Lu Junyan, she will still feel uncomfortable hearing that her ex-husband is so generous to another woman.
But then he saw Jiang Ning smile.
Pete closed his eyes tightly, then opened them again, and Jiang Ning's smile was gone.
"Thank you for telling me this news, it is indeed very valuable... However, if I also participate in the bidding, the two of us will be competitors."
After hearing Jiang Ning's words, Pete couldn't help but chuckle.
“If FY really gets the mining rights to this new vein, I promise you, FY will cooperate with you in mining, on the condition that you cooperate with us on another jewelry collection.”
As Pete spoke, he gave Jiang Ning a little thumbs up.
Jiang Ning and Pitt made a pinky promise.
"No matter how you look at it, I'm the one who benefits!"
Pete lowered his head slightly, his smile somewhat shy.
"It's my honor to let you benefit from this."
The news that Jiang Ning had decided to participate in the bidding spread quickly and naturally reached Chu Qingxue's ears.
Chu Qingxue's studio is now facing widespread betrayal and is in dire straits.
Besides Lu Junyan and the Lu Group, which are powerful backers.
There was nothing else.
Jiang Ning wasn't just making empty promises.
Although she is still in the hospital, she has contacted many helpers since she decided to participate in the bidding.
Chu Qingxue heard that Jiang Ning had contacted Bai Yichen and used his connections in the government to help her.
They also secured at least one billion yuan in funding from Mo Yan and Yuan Pei.
Furthermore, there are reports that if FY wins the bid, Jiangning will also receive joint mining rights.
Chu Qingxue was determined to acquire this new mineral vein.
This was what Lu Junyan had promised her.
Let's not even talk about whether she can get the person.
Now that Lu Junyan had made a promise to her, she naturally wanted to seize this opportunity to turn her life around.
Once the mineral vein is acquired, the profits will be enormous, and becoming a major investor will be a piece of cake.
Perhaps once she makes a comeback and stops sucking the blood of Lu Junyan and the Lu family, the Lu family will look at her with new respect, and Lu Junyan will be able to rekindle his love for her.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she absolutely could not lose this mining bid, especially not to let the mining rights fall into Jiangning's hands. So Chu Qingxue drove to D City.
