Chapter 252 Of course it's because I like you
Bai Yichen wasn't wearing a suit; instead, he was dressed in a white casual outfit.
Jiang Ning arrived at the museum first, but Bai Yichen seemed to have been waiting for her for a long time.
"You seem surprised?"
Bai Yichen took a step forward and walked towards Jiang Ning, the distance between them becoming only one step.
Jiang Ning smiled and shook his head.
She was actually a little surprised, but then she thought she shouldn't be surprised.
Bai Yichen would definitely come to be with her.
The more difficult the situation was for her, the more Bai Yichen would stay by her side.
Seeing Jiang Ning's smile, Bai Yichen also smiled.
He didn't say anything more; there was always a tacit understanding between him and Jiang Ning that spoke volumes without words.
The two quietly admired the historical treasures in the museum, side by side, seemingly distant yet intimately connected.
Bai Yichen did not ask Jiang Ning what he planned to do next.
Jiang Ning didn't say anything either.
It was as if the fact that Chu Qingxue was gang-raped and the blame was pinned on Jiang Ning, causing Jiang Ning to be cyberbullied, was irrelevant to the two of them.
Jiang Ning and Bai Yichen didn't leave the city museum until dark.
Jiang Ning clearly had a car, but Bai Yichen insisted that Jiang Ning ride home in his car.
Jiang Ning could tell that Bai Yichen was very afraid that something might happen to her.
Chu Qingxue had used this tactic of stirring up public opinion storms before.
Although there is no conclusive evidence, since Qian Dazhi's kidnapping of her was inextricably linked to Chu Qingxue, the subsequent cyberbullying she suffered was most likely also orchestrated by Chu Qingxue.
That cyberbullying incident did indeed cause great harm to Jiangning.
However, looking back now, Jiang Ning believes that it is thanks to her experience of being cyberbullied last time that she is able to remain so calm now.
Thanks to Bai Yichen by her side, at least she doesn't feel isolated and helpless.
“Ah Ning…”
Bai Yichen escorted Jiang Ning all the way to her doorstep.
"I'll spend less time online lately... and I'll pick you up and drop you off at get off work."
Bai Yichen said this in a very serious tone, as if she wasn't being cyberbullied, but rather someone was trying to assassinate her.
Jiang Ning chuckled to himself.
"Don't worry, with you as my protector, there won't be any problems this time."
"Um……"
Bai Yichen nodded.
He felt that Jiang Ning had indeed weathered many storms, which was why he could remain so calm in the face of cyberbullying.
After Jiang Ning and Bai Yichen said goodnight to each other, they closed the door.
Bai Yichen told her to spend less time online, but she didn't agree.
This time, she needs to launch a targeted counterattack, after all, her current status is different from the past.
The last time she was cyberbullied, it was because she was Lu Junyan's wife and was exposed for having an extramarital affair.
Compared to the overwhelming online trolls, the Lu Group's timely disassociation became the trump card to confirm the rumors.
In addition, Jiangning had no good reputation among the general public at that time.
Now, Jiang Ning is a BYC master.
And she had already divorced Lu Junyan.
She herself is now a force to be reckoned with, and she also has her own public relations team. She won't let Chu Qingxue smear her.
However, although every accusation made by Chu Qingxue was baseless, she was trapped in a vicious cycle of self-proof.
Jiangning needs to find a breakthrough.
Just as she was intently watching the online war of words between the online trolls hired by Chu Qingxue and her own PR team, her phone suddenly rang.
"Hello?"
Jiang Ning answered the phone, and Mo Yan's voice immediately came through the receiver.
Do you need my help?
Jiang Ning was taken aback.
"You're willing to help me?"
Although the online trending topics only mentioned her name and not Chu Qingxue, judging from the description, Jiang Ning didn't believe that Mo Yan couldn't guess that the person she had bankrupted and gang-raped was Chu Qingxue.
In Jiang Ning's memory, Mo Yan was fond of Chu Qingxue.
Even if I don't like it now, I genuinely liked it before.
Just like Lu Junyan, even if he meant it when he said he no longer loved Chu Qingxue, he couldn't just sit idly by when Chu Qingxue was in such a terrible situation.
It's even less likely that she would stand by her side immediately like Bai Yichen did.
A long silence fell over the receiver.
"I'm currently on a business trip in the US..."
Mo Yan suddenly said something completely unrelated to the previous topic.
However, Mo Yan believed that they were not completely unrelated.
Because he was in the United States, he did not witness firsthand the horrific scene of Chu Qingxue being gang-raped.
He had only heard about the matter and learned the details from his secretary.
Jiang Ning was indeed responsible for causing Chu Qingxue's bankruptcy, even if he didn't say it explicitly.
However, the fact that Jiang Ning raised funds from the Mo family with great fanfare but did not actually take the money clearly shows that Jiang Ning did not genuinely want to acquire the mining rights to the new vein.
Ultimately, the new mine ended up in Chu Qingxue's hands, but it turned out to be a bottomless pit.
Any shrewd businessman could see that Chu Qingxue had fallen for someone else's scheme.
But Mo Yan didn't think Jiang Ning had gone too far.
Jiang Ning must have her reasons for doing this.
Hiring loan sharks to gang rape Chu Qingxue was, in Mo Yan's view, neither in line with Jiang Ning's character nor with basic logic.
Now, Chu Qingxue has nothing left.
Conversely, it makes more sense that Chu Qingxue wanted to hire someone to take revenge on Jiang Ning.
For example, this cyberbullying incident.
"I hope you can believe me, I really want to help you..."
Jiang Ning didn't doubt Mo Yan, but was just a little curious.
"Why? Chu Qingxue is in such a terrible situation, yet you want to help me?"
"Of course it's because I like you."
Mo Yan's words were so matter-of-fact that Jiang Ning didn't react for a moment.
"……What?"
"Just kidding."
Hearing Mo Yan's addition, Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief.
"Just consider this my way of atoning for my sins by helping you this time!"
"Atonement?"
Jiang Ning felt that this word was used too heavily.
“Last time you were cyberbullied, the consequences were terrible... The Mo family shouldn’t have stood by and watched, I have a responsibility... So I hope you can give me a chance this time.”
Mo Yan's words were spoken with great sincerity.
Jiang Ning remained silent for a moment, without being coy.
"Alright, you happen to be in the US, there's something I really need your help with."
"Speak, what is it?"
Time passed by, minute by minute.
Just before midnight, Jiang Ning was getting ready to go to sleep when the doorbell suddenly rang.
At this time, if someone rings the doorbell, excluding food delivery, it will only feel like a ghost knocking on the door, which will make single women feel confused and even scared.
Jiang Ning cautiously approached the door and peeked through the peephole at the person standing outside.
Her eyelids lifted slightly.
This person was quite unexpected—
It was Lu Junyan.
Even through the peephole, Jiang Ning could see that Lu Junyan's face looked terrible, as if he had been covered in soot, and his features appeared distorted in the peephole.
Jiang Ning didn't open the door, but could hear Lu Junyan's voice coming from outside.
"Open the door, or I'll keep knocking on your door all night until your neighbors can't sleep."
Lu Junyan's threat was childish, but it worked on Jiang Ning. Jiang Ning sighed helplessly, opened the door, and let Lu Junyan in.
Are you satisfied with this result now?
Jiang Ning had just closed the door when she heard Lu Junyan ask her this question.
