Chapter 270 Why Lie?
In an instant, Lu Yexiong's face fell.
He said he wondered how he could see Lu Junyan on the cloud top.
It turns out that Lu Junyan brought Jiang Ning on a date!
When Yang Liyun saw Lu Junyan and Jiang Ning together, her expression wasn't much better than Lu Yexiong's.
As Lu Junyan's parents, they never knew that Lu Junyan and Jiang Ning were not divorced at all.
So isn't this a joke?
Whether you're married or divorced, is that something you can joke about?
Originally, whether it was Yang Liyun or Lu Yexiong, they were at least satisfied with Jiang Ning as their daughter-in-law, even if they didn't particularly like her.
The premise is that Jiang Ning stays at home obediently as a full-time housewife, supporting her husband and raising her children.
But now Jiang Ning is like a social butterfly in the business world. Neither Lu Yexiong nor Yang Liyun treats Jiang Ning as their own daughter-in-law anymore.
However, Lu Junyan and Jiang Ning were still not divorced.
At the board meeting that day, Lu Yexiong thought that Lu Junyan's words were just a delaying tactic. However, when he asked Lu Junyan later, he was told that Lu Junyan and Jiang Ning had never divorced.
Lu Yexiong almost fainted from anger on the spot.
Lu Junyan was not divorced, which means that he was already married when he went on a blind date with Lin Wanrong, the daughter of the Lin family.
If word of this gets to the Lin family, not only will the marriage alliance be impossible, but they might not even be able to do business together.
As far as Lu Yexiong knew, there were more than a dozen large companies that had been in contact with the Lin family regarding the transnational cooperative new energy railway project, including the Ning family, which had always been at odds with the Lu family.
Regardless of what was really going on between Lu Junyan and Jiang Ning, Lu Yexiong was determined to secure the new energy railway project.
Today's dinner was deliberately arranged by him in order to win over the Lin family.
He originally wanted Lu Junyan to explain Jiangning's situation to Lin Yueheng in person, but Lu Junyan stood him up.
Lu Junyan and Lu Yexiong's eyes met.
There was dissatisfaction between them in their eyes.
Although Lu Junyan knew that Lu Yexiong was going to treat the Lin family to dinner to apologize today, he never expected that Lu Yexiong would choose the top of the clouds.
"Junyan, come here right now!"
In front of the Lin family, Lu Yexiong didn't say much, but his expression and tone revealed a blatant threat to Lu Junyan.
“Junyan, what are you waiting for? You’re already late…” Yang Liyun chimed in, trying to smooth things over.
Lin Yueheng on the other side remained expressionless.
He already knew that Lu Junyan had no intention of attending this dinner party.
Lin Yueheng's impression of Lu Junyan was neither bad nor particularly good.
Because of Lu Junyan's relationship with Jiang Ning.
Seeing that Lu Junyan was standing still, Lin Yueheng smiled and said, "Why don't you come and eat with us, Miss Jiang?"
"Yes, yes, Miss Jiang, please come along too!"
Chu Yao immediately waved to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning's expression had been grim ever since he saw these five people.
She wanted to leave, but Lu Junyan grabbed her hand.
The action of trying to shake off Lu Junyan was almost subconscious. However, Lu Junyan held her hand very tightly, and at the same time, Jiang Ning felt that Lu Junyan seemed to be afraid of hurting her and being shaken off, while consciously controlling the force.
And so, Lu Junyan led Jiang Ning to Lu Yexiong's dining table.
"Minister Lin, Mrs. Lin, Miss Lin..."
Lin Yueheng couldn't help but look at Lu Junyan and Jiang Ning.
These two standing together truly make a perfect match, a match made in heaven.
"Let me formally introduce you all again. This is my wife, Jiang Ning."
Lu Junyan's resolute introduction instantly brought everyone present back to the charity auction of the Royal Victoria Cruises.
At that auction, Lu Junyan also said that Jiang Ning was his wife.
Not his ex-wife.
The people who kept adding fuel to the fire and explaining were Lu Yexiong and Yang Liyun.
Lin Yueheng originally wanted to question Lu Junyan about why he lied back then, but now that he thinks about it, Lu Junyan did not lie at that time.
Throughout the entire conversation, Lu Junyan always referred to Jiang Ning as his "wife" in front of him.
"I apologize for the misunderstanding tonight. I am not here to keep my appointment with Minister Lin, but to have a date with my wife."
With a smile, Lu Junyan finished speaking in a humble yet assertive manner, and politely concluded with "I wish you all a pleasant meal." He then pulled Jiang Ning to the seats he had reserved in advance and sat down.
Lu Yexiong and Yang Liyun's faces turned green.
They stammered for a long time, unsure how to explain what was happening to the Lin family.
However, Lin Yueheng and Chu Yao exchanged a glance, and a knowing smile appeared on their faces.
Lin Wanrong ate her meal with elegant movements and a smile on her face, as if she were wearing a mask.
Every now and then, her gaze would drift to Jiang Ning and Lu Junyan at the next table, and the smile on her face would falter for a moment.
A melodious piano tune echoed from the top of the clouds.
Jiang Ning rested his chin on his hand, gazing at the dazzling night view through the clean glass window.
"You seem very happy?"
Lu Junyan's voice made Jiang Ning turn his attention back from the window.
"Um……"
Jiang Ning was naturally happy that he didn't have to force himself to have dinner with Lin Yueheng and Chu Yao.
"You seem to have a strong aversion to Minister Lin and his wife?"
"yes!"
Jiang Ning answered casually.
Is it...because of me?
Lu Junyan asked cautiously, only to see Jiang Ning smile brightly, revealing a set of snow-white teeth.
"If it's because of you, I should be disgusted by that Lin family heiress... You can't possibly not understand such a simple truth. Deceiving yourself and giving yourself hope will only bring greater disappointment."
Jiang Ning sipped her champagne elegantly while calmly refuting Lu Junyan.
She saw a hint of disappointment flash in Lu Junyan's eyes.
However, Lu Junyan quickly rallied and handed the menu to Jiang Ning.
"What would you like to eat? You order."
Jiang Ning took the menu and met Lu Junyan's gaze.
The mature face before me overlapped inexplicably with the youthful features I remembered.
"What would you like to eat? You order."
In the juvenile detention center's canteen, Lu Junyan slammed the menu down in front of Jiang Ning.
This menu wasn't originally intended for these problem students.
It was for the instructors, not the instructors.
Beside him was the cafeteria lady who was trembling with fear after Lu Junyan slapped her plate in the face.
"Aren't you afraid of being locked up in solitary confinement?" Jiang Ning asked.
“She put the bugs in your food first,” Lu Junyan emphasized.
"But the instructors won't listen to your reasoning."
"It doesn't matter. Just remember to bring me a piece of candy if I really get locked up."
That time, Jiang Ning ate the best meal he had ever had in the juvenile detention center.
Because the dishes are freshly cooked by the cafeteria staff, not mass-produced food.
"Stir-fried pork with chili peppers, stir-fried shredded potatoes with vinegar..."
Jiang Ning murmured softly.
"What?"
Looking up at Lu Junyan, who hadn't heard what she was saying, Jiang Ning shook her head with a wry smile.
"Nothing, I'll have Set Meal C."
Jiang Ning returned the menu to Lu Junyan.
Lu Junyan tonight is different from before.
