Chapter 260 My First Love Was Someone Else
In an instant, Chu Qingxue's eyes widened, the terror in them pierced by the lightning outside the window.
This time, Lu Junyan finally saw a strong sense of guilt on Chu Qingxue's face.
Perhaps Chu Qingxue played the role of A Chu for too long, becoming too immersed in the character, and truly believed that he was A Chu.
Therefore, Chu Qingxue was particularly confident in the words she just shouted.
It was as if he truly owed her something.
Or perhaps Jiang Ning owes her something.
However……
Lu Junyan's gaze at Chu Qingxue was like a pair of invisible hands that wanted to tear Chu Qingxue to pieces.
Xiao Zhang told him that the investigation showed that Chu Qingxue had never been detained in a juvenile detention center before.
Never.
She is not his Achu.
It never has been.
"The help I gave you... the favor I showed you... the respect I gave you... all of that was for A-Chu..."
Lu Junyan's slow and deliberate words reached Chu Qingxue's ears, causing her to tremble involuntarily.
"Without A-Chu's identity... you are nothing in my eyes."
After saying this in a calm tone, Lu Junyan turned and left the ward.
In the ward, Chu Qingxue lay on the floor, wailing loudly.
At the end of the corridor, Xiao Zhang frowned as he waited for Lu Junyan.
Soon, Lu Junyan came out, and the smile on his face was the most chilling expression.
"Have you made contact with the Dragon Fang Gang?"
"...We've already made contact."
"good."
Lu Jun didn't say much, but Xiao Zhang seemed to understand a lot of what he meant.
The night was pitch black, and the incessant thunder and rain sounded like a mournful cry from the heavens.
Following Lu Junyan's instructions, Xiao Zhang drove the car to the A City Juvenile Detention Center.
A juvenile detention center on a stormy night is more terrifying than a prison.
Xiao Zhang saw Lu Junyan get out of the car without an umbrella, and he was soaked to the bone again, just like during the day.
Both morally and logically, Xiao Zhang should have stopped Lu Junyan, but he didn't.
He thought that Lu Junyan probably wanted to say goodbye to his past self and his past relationship.
Chu Qingxue was not Lu Junyan's first love, which means that Lu Junyan's first love was someone else.
Xiao Zhang asked Lu Junyan if he wanted to investigate the piano competition from that year.
Although things may have changed drastically, it doesn't necessarily mean that other clues cannot be found.
Xiao Zhang knew that Lu Junyan initially recognized Chu Qingxue as his first love because Chu Qingxue won the piano competition.
Lu Junyan remembered the sound of his first love playing the piano, and he firmly believed that the sound of that piano would definitely win him the championship.
However, the champion was Chu Qingxue, so Xiao Zhang thought there might be some misunderstanding.
If we re-investigate the contestants, we will most likely find the real Achu.
Lu Junyan refused.
He told Xiao Zhang that he would no longer look for A Chu.
Braving the torrential rain, Lu Junyan stood alone in front of the juvenile detention center.
The rain gradually subsided.
The sky gradually brightened.
The passage of time is something that cannot be stopped by human effort.
People shouldn't always be trapped by the past.
Lu Junyan thought—
He should look to the future.
“I have already moved on, so I will never accept Lu Junyan’s suggestion to start over…”
In an old house on Sanhu Street, Jiang Ning was having a long phone conversation with Gu Lanlan.
"That's more like it. I thought you'd been tricked back by him with just a few words again!"
Gu Lanlan sounded worried on the other end of the phone.
"Don't worry, it won't happen... Besides, from now on, I'm the largest shareholder of the Lu Group... With such assets, why would I have trouble finding a good man?"
"Haha, it's good that you can think so positively. But now I understand why you were so infatuated with Lu Junyan back then, looks really are so important!"
"Are you trying to say you're infatuated with Gu Jinci's face?"
"Weren't we talking about you and Lu Junyan? Why are you dragging me into this..."
Even though Jiang Ning couldn't see Gu Lanlan's expression over the phone, he could imagine that Gu Lanlan must have blushed.
"Speaking of which... how far have things progressed between you and Gu Jinci? Are you planning to meet my parents?"
"Meet...meet the parents? What parents? That's too early!"
"But Lanlan, you're not young anymore! Didn't Gu Jinci mention that to you?"
"No...we don't know much about it yet!"
Hearing Gu Lanlan say this, Jiang Ning frowned slightly.
"What do his parents do?"
"I don't know! I didn't ask, and he didn't say..."
Gu Lanlan, on the other end of the phone, realized at this moment that she knew absolutely nothing about Gu Jinci.
Her dates with Gu Jinci mostly took place in hotels.
"Um...maybe I'll ask him about it next time."
"Um."
Jiang Ning stopped there.
Gu Lanlan is an adult, and it's not appropriate for her to interfere too much in adults' relationships.
Gu Jinci is top-notch in both appearance and work, but the more perfect a man seems, the more you should be wary of him.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Ning lay on the bed, clutching his phone, tossing and turning.
During her university years, she never delved into why a perfect man like Lu Junyan would pursue her.
She is very beautiful.
But there are plenty of beautiful women around, and with Lu Junyan's status and position, he certainly wouldn't lack for beauties.
It has everything from big and small celebrities to the heiress of the Fu family.
Jiang Ning was blinded by love at that time.
She was just disappointed that Lu Junyan didn't remember her and already had a girlfriend when he started pursuing her relentlessly.
This stark contrast led Jiang Ning to mistakenly believe that a windfall had fallen from the sky.
Even though Lu Junyan doesn't remember A Chu from the juvenile detention center, fate still led him to choose the person he is now.
result……
Jiang Ning chuckled self-deprecatingly.
She didn't want Gu Lanlan to repeat her mistakes.
She hoped Gu Jinci was better than Lu Junyan, and that she dated Gu Lanlan because she genuinely liked Gu Lanlan.
"Surely not everyone has ulterior motives!"
Jiang Ning muttered to himself, turned over, and forced himself to fall asleep.
Lu Junyan's image involuntarily surfaced in my mind again.
The shock, embarrassment, and hurt in Lu Junyan's eyes when he took out the ring in the pouring rain only to have it knocked over by her...
Isn't this a case of reaping what you sow?
Jiang Ning drifted off to sleep with a smile on her face.
The next day, Jiang Ning woke up very early. His original plan for the day was to go to Lu's Group to forcibly reorganize the board of directors as the largest shareholder, so as to avoid having shares but no actual management power.
However, as soon as she got into her white BMW 3 Series, she received a phone call.
The caller ID made Jiang Ning not want to answer.
The bell rang several times, enough to annoy anyone who heard it.
Jiang Ning sighed and reluctantly answered the phone:
"What can I do for you, Xiao Zhang?"
The white BMW 3 Series remained parked in the parking space for a long time before finally driving out onto a main road.
However, this main road does not lead to the Lu Group.
Cloud Top Jade Pavilion.
Lu Junyan lay on the bed, frowning and with his eyes closed, gripping the sheets convulsively.
He was caught in the rain all night and now has a high fever and is talking nonsense.
