Chapter 286 Court Hearing
Yuan Pei was furious when he heard Lin Wanrong's words.
"What's wrong? Are you such a sore loser?"
"Aren't you the one who can't accept defeat?"
Lin Wanrong retorted without hesitation, "If I hadn't given you another chance, the shares you hold would have been mine long ago."
"you!"
Yuan Pei was so angry with Lin Wanrong that his face turned red and his neck bulged.
At this moment, Jiang Ning patted Yuan Pei on the shoulder, signaling Yuan Pei not to get angry.
"I'll give you another chance. If you like my car, let's switch. You drive mine, I'll drive yours, and we'll have another race."
Upon hearing Jiang Ning's words, the onlookers who had initially been indignant on Lin Wanrong's behalf immediately fell silent.
The person who had borrowed Jiang Ning's car earlier walked over and extended his hand to Jiang Ning.
"Hi, my name is Kevin. Can we be friends?"
"Okay, my name is Jiang Ning."
Jiang Ning shook hands with the other party.
"Why hold hands for so long? Don't take advantage of the situation."
Yuan Pei grabbed Jiang Ning's wrist and pulled his hand away.
Lin Wanrong stared at Jiang Ning, her eyes growing increasingly dissatisfied.
A moment later, she snorted and drove her red Ford away from the street racetrack.
"Let's go to Jiangning, I'll treat you to a late-night snack."
Yuan Pei grabbed Jiang Ning's hand and walked enthusiastically into an izakaya next door.
Unbeknownst to them, their every move was being watched by a pair of hawk-like eyes.
The oppressive atmosphere inside the imperial blue Bentley was almost unbearable for Xiao Zhang.
Lu Junyan had been watching ever since Jiang Ning stood up for Yuan Pei and went street racing with Lin Wanrong.
He sat in the imperial blue Bentley, lowered the window, and silently watched as Jiang Ning drove the silver-gray Ferrari with effortless skill and mastery.
"I never knew Miss Jiang was such a good driver?"
Xiao Zhang found a suitable topic.
In the back seat of the car, Lu Junyan's face was hidden in shadow, his deep and three-dimensional features seemingly outlined in ink.
"I don't know either."
He didn't know that Jiang Ning was a BYC master.
He didn't know that Jiang Ning and Bai Yichen had a past.
He didn't know Jiang Ning could drive a race car.
However……
Yuan Pei seemed to know.
At least they knew that Jiang Ning could drive race cars.
Lu Junyan's eyes grew increasingly sinister.
Especially when recalling how Yuan Pei naturally took Jiang Ning's hand.
"Mr. Lu, where do we go next?"
Xiao Zhang asked softly.
Lu Junyan, sitting in the back seat, crossed his arms, remained silent for a moment, and then uttered two words:
"Have a meal."
In an izakaya.
Yuan Pei was praising Jiang Ning eloquently.
"I told you you were definitely better than that Lin Wanrong. What racing goddess from Country C? She's nothing but trash in front of you."
As Jiang Ning ate his oden, he thought to himself, "You didn't say that before the competition."
The two chatted about racing for a while, then Yuan Pei suddenly asked Jiang Ning:
"Jiang Ning, I saw the announcement you posted online before. Are you really going to divorce Brother Lu this time?"
This topic caused Jiang Ning's expression to change slightly.
But she quickly smiled in relief.
"Yes! This time, Lu Junyan and I will definitely be able to get a divorce."
"Um……"
Yuan Pei lowered his eyes, seemingly wanting to speak but then hesitated. Jiang Ning asked curiously:
"What's wrong? Don't you support my divorce from Lu Junyan?"
No, no, no.
Yuan Pei waved his hand repeatedly.
"Of course I support you. The sooner you divorce Brother Lu, the better for me."
"...The better you are?"
Jiang Ning blinked, puzzled.
Yuan Pei's cheeks flushed slightly. He cleared his throat. "Because Brother Lu treats you badly! I'm your best friend now, so of course I hope you can get a divorce soon and find your new happiness!"
"Yes, thank you, Yuan Pei."
Jiang Ning smiled knowingly.
She never imagined that she and Yuan Pei would become best friends.
"But I'm also Lu Ge's best friend, and he's actually quite pitiful..."
"He's pitiful?"
Jiang Ning's face turned cold.
Yuan Pei scratched the back of his head.
"After Lu Ge divorces you, he'll most likely be pressured by his parents to marry that adopted daughter of the Lin family... That woman is quite pretty, but I think she's too ambitious and not a good person..."
The more Yuan Pei talked, the more sympathetic he felt for Lu Junyan.
"It seems that Brother Lu has a bad reputation with women. He only has bad luck with women. That Chu Qingxue before was the same. She deceived Brother Lu so badly. She was clearly not Brother Lu's first love, but she kept pretending to be his first love and took advantage of him. It's really a blessing from heaven that she was ruined."
Listening to Yuan Peiyi's righteous and stern remarks, Jiang Ning smiled but remained silent.
There's no such thing as God opening his eyes.
Chu Qingxue's disgrace was entirely her doing.
However, it was Chu Qingxue who framed her first.
As the saying goes, those who do many unrighteous deeds will surely perish.
As for Lu Junyan...
"It's quite funny to mistake your first love for someone else."
Jiang Ning took a sip of juice.
"There's nothing we can do. Brother Lu was still young back then, and the two of them weren't together for very long. But because it was a deeply unforgettable experience, Brother Lu has always remembered it. After so many years apart, it's understandable that Brother Lu would admit his mistake! The most hateful one is Chu Qingxue. If it wasn't her, why did she admit it?"
Listening to Yuan Pei's explanation, Jiang Ning's heart was stirred up by something, and the waves grew larger and larger.
Still young...
We weren't together for very long...
A deeply unforgettable experience...
Memories of Jiang Ning and Lu Junyan in the juvenile detention center flashed through her mind. Jiang Ning opened her lips and inhaled a breath of cold air.
“Yuan Pei…”
The wind chimes hanging on the door suddenly started tinkling.
Jiang Ning and Yuan Pei subconsciously turned their heads and saw Lu Junyan walking in with Xiao Zhang.
How did you get here?
Jiang Ning was surprised.
Lu Junyan glanced at Yuan Pei sitting next to Jiang Ning and coldly uttered two words:
"Catching someone in the act of adultery."
Yuan Pei spat out a mouthful of water.
"I was just kidding."
Xiao Zhang pulled out a chair for Lu Junyan, and Lu Junyan sat down next to Jiang Ning.
"You don't mind if I sit here, do you?"
Lu Junyan asked Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning smiled and asked in return, "If I said I minded, would you stand up?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Junyan smiled.
"Won't."
The atmosphere in the izakaya suddenly became strange. Yuan Pei pouted, looking somewhat unhappy.
He and Jiang Ning were on good terms, but the atmosphere changed immediately after Lu Junyan arrived.
"Brother Lu, you came to Country C as soon as you were fully recovered."
"What, did I interrupt your and my wife's private time?"
Lu Junyan's casual retort almost made Yuan Pei choke.
Thinking about it carefully, he was indeed rash. Jiang Ning and Lu Junyan are not divorced yet!
In an instant, Yuan Pei put himself in the position of the male third party, and felt extremely guilty.
"I've already given you the divorce papers."
Jiang Ning emphasized.
"But I didn't sign it."
Lu Junyan also emphasized this point.
Jiang Ning turned her head and glared at Lu Junyan, but Lu Junyan's eyes seemed to be filled with starlight, and he was all smiles.
Yuan Pei looked at Jiang Ning, then at Lu Junyan, and felt that he and Xiao Zhang were particularly superfluous here.
The izakaya was completely silent.
A moment later, Jiang Ning's cool voice broke the silence.
“I have already submitted the documents to the court here.”
Jiang Ning didn't need to explicitly state what the material was; everyone present knew perfectly well.
Regardless of who Lu Junyan's first love was, she and Lu Junyan still ended up in a divorce lawsuit.
The hurt Lu Junyan caused her was real and irreversible.
Her children, her company, her dignity, her feelings...
Jiang Ning took a deep breath and looked at Lu Junyan.
"The court has accepted the case, and I believe the trial will begin soon."
