Chapter 289 Leaving with nothing
The package seemed to have been insured for a high value; the courier verified her identity repeatedly before personally handing it to her.
Jiang Ning was a little curious, so she immediately opened the package after the deliveryman left.
After tearing off the outer packaging and seeing the gift box, Jiang Ning vaguely felt that there should be a piece of jewelry inside.
She opened the gift box, her eyelids lifting slightly.
As expected, the item inside was indeed a piece of jewelry.
It is a diamond necklace.
The yellow gold chain is inlaid with small diamonds. The chain is not just one layer, but three layers, each with a retro carving technique. It is intricate but extremely luxurious. Just looking at these three layers of carved chain covered with diamonds is dazzling and extremely luxurious.
The pendant below is a flawless, brilliant-colored yellow diamond of extremely high quality. Judging from its size, it is quite heavy and belongs to museum-quality.
This yellow diamond was cut into a cushion shape and surrounded by two rings of pink diamonds as embellishments, making it particularly eye-catching and prominent.
This necklace, from its design to its craftsmanship, exudes a strong European royal court atmosphere and has a very classic charm.
Jiang Ning stared at the necklace for a moment, then suddenly remembered that it should be the yellow diamond necklace passed down from the royal family of P country.
She remembered that after Princess Emilia passed away, Country P put the necklace up for auction.
"so……"
Who gave this to her?
The first person that came to Jiang Ning's mind was Bai Yichen.
Since she had just received the judgment today, Bai Yichen gave her this gift most likely to congratulate her on her successful divorce.
However, upon closer reflection, Jiang Ning felt something was amiss.
Since the judgment was sent directly to her, Bai Yichen probably doesn't know about it yet.
To be able to send this gift to her on the very day she receives the judgment...
Jiang Ning frowned.
She thought of Lu Junyan.
Because Lu Junyan must have received the judgment around the same time as her.
But……
There was no reason for Lu Junyan to give her such an expensive gift.
This antique necklace, a royal heirloom, is priceless, both in terms of the necklace itself and its significance. Jiang Ning estimates the auction price to be between 50 million and 100 million US dollars.
This time, she and Lu Junyan are truly divorced; there were no traps involved.
Now that they're divorced, there's even less reason for Lu Junyan to give her such expensive jewelry.
Jiang Ning searched the gift box for a long time, but couldn't find any trace of the sender.
She put down the gift box and picked up the judgment document.
The above content stirred up waves in Jiang Ning's heart once again.
Although she believed that since she and Lu Junyan were divorced, Lu Junyan had no reason to waste money on her anymore, the value of this judgment was far greater than a diamond necklace worth nearly 100 million US dollars.
Jiang Ning remained silent for a moment, his chest still pounding with anxiety.
She picked up her phone, intending to call Judge Chen, when Xiao Ai knocked on the door and came in.
"Boss, Fang Qiaofang, the owner of Yangshengzhai, called to invite you to the opening ceremony of her new store in Xingye District this weekend."
"Fang Qiao..."
Jiang Ning was somewhat surprised.
What was unexpected was not that Fang Qiao invited her to the new store opening ceremony, but that Fang Qiao actually called the company instead of calling her personally.
"I understand. Tell her I'll be there on time."
After Jiang Ning finished speaking, he smiled faintly.
It seems that in Fang Qiao's eyes, she has already become an asset, so inviting her to attend has become so businesslike.
Jiang Ning thought that Xiao Ai would leave after finishing her business.
But Xiao Ai just stared blankly with her big eyes wide open.
"What's wrong, Xiao Ai?"
Jiang Ning was puzzled.
"Boss, I'm so envious of you!"
Xiao Ai clasped her hands together, looking at him with starry eyes.
Only then did Jiang Ning notice that Xiao Ai's gaze kept drifting towards the gift box on her desk.
She put the gift box down, but didn't close it, so the yellow diamond necklace inside was clearly visible.
"When will I be as rich as the boss?!"
Jiang Ning was both amused and exasperated.
"I didn't buy this."
She said it casually, but to her surprise, Xiao Ai's eyes lit up even more.
"So it was a gift from someone else! That person must really love the boss!"
Jiang Ning tilted his head and asked Xiao Ai.
How do you know?
"Because where money is, love is there! Boss, your necklace looks incredibly expensive, doesn't that prove the other person truly loves you?"
"..."
"If someone were to give me a necklace like this, I would marry him in a heartbeat."
Jiang Ning listened to Xiao Ai's logic, and couldn't say it was right or wrong.
"Xiao Ai, the person who is willing to spend money on you may not necessarily love you."
When she married Lu Junyan, he often gave her expensive gifts during holidays.
However……
Lu Junyan does not love her.
"But if someone keeps saying they love you but doesn't spend a single penny on you, then they definitely don't love you."
"Okay, okay, you're right."
Jiang Ning nodded repeatedly and stopped arguing with Xiao Ai.
For ordinary people, money is indeed the most important thing.
If someone is willing to spend money on you, it's mostly proof that they love you.
But Lu Junyan is different.
Lu Junyan is not short of money, so using money to measure love becomes inaccurate.
As Xiao Ai was leaving, she couldn't help but steal a glance at the yellow diamond necklace in the gift box.
Jiang Ning picked up the necklace again.
Recently, the jewelry designed and produced in her studio has mostly featured a modern, technological style. Combined with her unique cutting and setting techniques, this has created a sci-fi trend in the jewelry market.
However, with so many brands vying to imitate it, Jiangning is now getting tired of seeing his own designs.
She stared at the royal heirloom yellow diamond necklace and suddenly had an inspiration.
What if she launched a medieval retro-style collection?
Jiang Ning then devoted all her energy to designing jewelry again, no longer thinking about who gave her the yellow diamond necklace.
Country C.
Hillside villa.
Yang Liyun slapped Lu Junyan hard on the back.
"What nonsense are you spouting, child!"
After scolding Lu Junyan, Yang Liyun smiled broadly at Lin Wanrong and said:
"Miss Wanrong, please don't mind him. Junyan was just joking and wanted to give you a surprise. He spent seventy million US dollars to bid for the P country's royal family's heirloom yellow diamond necklace. Who else would he give it to if not you!"
"I'm not joking."
Lu Junyan nonchalantly undermined Yang Liyun.
"Junyan!"
At this moment, Lu Yexiong couldn't help but shout out.
Lu Junyan looked at his father.
Lu Yexiong's face was grim, and he was warning him with his eyes.
However, he smiled wryly.
"Miss Lin, I've come today to tell you something..."
Lin Wanrong looked at Lu Junyan with a more wary expression.
"Jiang Ning and I are divorced..."
As he spoke, Lu Junyan took out the judgment.
Yang Liyun and Lu Yexiong had just breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Lu Junyan continue:
"The court ruled that I should leave with nothing. All my cars, properties, savings, and shares in the Lu Group... will belong to Jiang Ning."
