Chapter 280 Formally Proposing Divorce to Lu Junyan
"Hello, Aning?"
Gu Lanlan lowered her voice, her tone carrying a hint of reproach towards Jiang Ning.
Because the atmosphere between her and Gu Jinci was just right, Jiang Ning's phone call was very inappropriate and disturbed their time together.
On the other end of the phone, Jiang Ning asked, puzzled, "Lanlan, what's wrong? Is it inconvenient for you to talk on the phone?"
"I……"
Whose call was that?
Suddenly, Jiang Ning heard a man's voice.
Even though Jiang Ning wasn't familiar with Gu Jinci's voice, at this time, Gu Jinci was the only man she could think of who was with Gu Lanlan.
"Gu Jinci is next to you, isn't she?"
Jiang Ning asked frankly.
"Ah, yes..."
"That's perfect."
"Perfect?"
Jiang Ning's words left Gu Lanlan completely confused.
"Ask Gu Jinci if he's free this weekend. I think we could have a date for the four of us."
"A date for four?"
Gu Lanlan blinked her big eyes.
“Yes, Bai Yichen and I, you and Gu Jinci… Starlight Amusement Park recently reopened, I think it will be more fun with more people.”
Gu Jinci, who was standing right next to Gu Lanlan, heard every word Jiang Ning said and smiled without making a sound.
“I’m saying, Aning…”
Gu Lanlan lowered her voice to a very, very low level.
"You and Lu Junyan aren't divorced yet! So... are you going to be so high-profile with Bai Yichen?"
Gu Lanlan was actually hoping that Jiang Ning would choose Bai Yichen.
Bai Yichen has been pursuing Jiang Ning since high school.
I've been pursuing him for so long and still haven't won him over. He's the school heartthrob, a male god.
Gu Lanlan was starting to feel sorry for Bai Yichen.
The recent trend has already been to label the overseas-educated PhD Bai as a male homewrecker, and Gu Lanlan doesn't want Bai Yichen to be blamed for this before he even wins over Jiang Ning.
Moreover, even if Bai Yichen doesn't take the blame, Jiang Ning will.
She vividly remembered the cyberbullying she had experienced before. Despite having no concrete evidence, netizens used a single picture as a starting point and fabricated the entire story to portray Jiang Ning as a promiscuous woman who had cheated on her husband.
Gu Lanlan felt a chill run down her spine just thinking about it.
"It's not that I'm unwilling, I just wanted to remind you..."
In Gu Lanlan's opinion, Jiang Ning and Bai Yichen are both semi-celebrities, and she feels that even if the four of them were to go on a date, it would be best to wait until after she has completely divorced Lu Junyan.
"Don't worry, Bai Yichen and I know what we're doing."
Jiang Ning said calmly.
Ever since Gu Lanlan mentioned that she and Gu Jinci always went straight to a hotel on their dates, she had been worried that Gu Lanlan was being deceived in her feelings.
She wanted to ask Gu Jinci out, but she was afraid she wouldn't get any answers from him.
The suggestion of a date for the four of them was made to her by Bai Yichen.
Bai Yichen believed that instead of Jiang Ning calling Gu Jinci out for "interrogation" alone, it would be better to have a date for the four of them. In a natural date, the two of them would definitely be able to observe whether Gu Jinci was serious about Gu Lanlan.
Jiang Ning agreed with Bai Yichen's suggestion, which led to today's phone call.
Gu Lanlan took the phone away from her ear and asked Gu Jinci.
"A-Ning and Bai Yichen want to invite the two of us for a four-person date at the amusement park. Are you free this weekend?"
Gu Jinci's mysterious eyes darted around in their sockets.
"I had a meeting scheduled for Sunday... but I'm willing to reschedule it for you."
"This...this isn't right!"
Gu Lanlan lowered her head slightly.
Gu Jinci immediately reached out and put his arm around Gu Lanlan's waist, pulling her into his embrace.
"Look at all the sacrifices I've made for you, don't you want to give me a proper reward?"
Gu Jinci's hand had already unzipped Gu Lanlan's jeans.
Gu Lanlan immediately realized what Gu Jinci wanted to do.
"This...this is your office, this won't do..."
"What's wrong with that?"
Gu Jinci released Gu Lanlan and locked the door to his office.
"Gu Jinci..."
"Call me husband."
"Husband..."
Gu Lanlan's face turned as red as if it were bleeding.
A satisfied smile spread across Gu Jinci's face as he pushed Gu Lanlan down into his executive chair.
...
At the hospital.
Lin Wanrong hasn't appeared since she heard what Lu Junyan said last time.
This is good news for Lu Junyan.
But there's also bad news.
That means Jiang Ning didn't come either.
For several days in a row, Jiang Ning didn't even make a phone call or send a WeChat message, let alone visit him in person.
Not only that, Lu Junyan also saw a flood of trending topics online today—
Jiang Ning, the matriarch of the Lu Group, formally filed for divorce from Lu Junyan.
The consistent press release across the entire internet clearly indicates that someone paid for it.
Just as Lu Junyan was lying in his hospital bed scrolling through his phone, someone knocked on his room door.
"Mr. Lu..."
The person who came in was Xiao Zhang.
Lu Junyan noticed that Xiao Zhang looked serious, and there was another person following behind him.
Lu Junyan actually vaguely remembered this man.
"Hello, Mr. Lu."
The other party was very polite and took the initiative to greet Lu Junyan.
"You are... Attorney Yao?"
Lu Junyan smiled, but his eyes reflected a cold light of disgust.
"I never expected that President Lu would know me. I am truly flattered."
Attorney Yao handed over his business card, which was accepted by Xiao Zhang.
"What brings the leading lawyers from Country C to me from abroad?"
Although Lu Junyan asked the question aloud, he already knew the answer in his heart.
Attorney Yao replied respectfully, "I am here to see Mr. Lu as the representative of my client..."
As Attorney Yao spoke, she handed a file folder to Lu Junyan, who then passed it on to Xiao Zhang.
He opened the file bag, his expression turning somewhat grim, but still presented the documents inside to Lu Junyan.
Lu Junyan lowered his eyes, his deep, dark eyes reflecting the words "divorce agreement".
Attorney Yao silently observed Lu Junyan's reaction by his bedside and found that Lu Junyan was indeed quite shrewd. When he saw the divorce agreement, he remained expressionless and showed no reaction whatsoever.
The divorce agreement was quite thick, but Lu Junyan didn't read a single page.
"Tell your client that I will not get a divorce."
Lu Junyan's voice was calm and composed, like a cold spring, clear and icy.
Attorney Yao pursed her lips and took out another document.
“My client said that if Mr. Lu does not agree to a divorce by mutual consent, she will file a lawsuit against him in Country C, which will have an extremely negative impact on Mr. Lu and the Lu Group.”
Although Attorney Yao's words were brief, the documents handed to Lu Junyan were extremely detailed.
The above details how much money Lu Junyan spent on Chu Qingxue in the past year, with every single expense thoroughly investigated.
And how Lu Junyan helped Chu Qingxue's parents secure the rehabilitation center project, how he took it upon himself to invest in Chu Qingxue's studio multiple times, and even embezzled public funds to provide financial support to Chu Qingxue.
"This evidence, when presented in the court of Country C, is sufficient to prove that the relationship between Mr. Lu and my client has broken down... For Mr. Lu's sake, my client hopes that you can accept this divorce agreement."
As Attorney Yao spoke with unwavering resolve, Lu Junyan turned to the last page of the divorce agreement, where a signature had already been made in the signature section:
Jiangning.
Those two words burned into Lu Junyan's eyes.
