Chapter 291 Being an Old Bachelor
Lu Junyan's lips curled up to his chin.
This post on WeChat Moments was made by Lu Lifeng.
One of the two photos is a picture of Lu Lifeng and Jiang Ning together, with Lu Lifeng smiling broadly in the photo.
Lu Junyan had rarely seen Lu Lifeng smile so happily recently.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ning, on the other side, was also all smiles.
Lu Junyan hadn't seen this genuine, joyful smile on Jiang Ning's face for a long time.
Or rather, Jiang Ning had never smiled like that in front of him before.
Perhaps this had happened before Chu Qingxue returned to China.
But he never noticed.
Now he wanted to see it, but Jiang Ning refused to smile at him like that.
Lu Junyan frowned and gripped his phone tightly.
Another photo on my WeChat Moments showed a table full of food.
These are all home-style dishes, small in portion but with a wide variety.
Because besides Lu Lifeng, the only other people in the old house were servants.
The portions of food are too large, so there will be leftovers that end up as overnight dishes.
Therefore, Jiang Ning usually cooks a variety of dishes, but he controls the quantity.
The dishes in this photo are all Lu Lifeng's favorite foods.
The dishes include steamed pork ribs with rice flour, four-happiness meatballs, vegetarian braised tofu, stir-fried dishes of all seasons, and sweet fermented rice balls.
Lu Junyan looked at the dishes in the photo and swallowed hard.
It wasn't until this moment that he realized he hadn't eaten dinner yet!
Jiang Ning didn't come back tonight; it's obvious he's staying at the Lu family's old house.
Not only did he take a photo with his grandfather, but he also cooked a delicious meal for him.
And what about him?
I can't even smell the aroma of the food Jiang Ning cooked.
Lu Junyan's stomach rumbled loudly.
With a stern face, he called Lu Lifeng directly.
"Grandpa, are you asleep?"
Lu Lifeng's voice sounded unusually energetic on the other end of the phone.
"I haven't slept. I'm just waiting for you to call me!"
Upon hearing Lu Lifeng's words, Lu Junyan's eyes immediately filled with reproach.
He knew that Lu Lifeng, who never posts on WeChat Moments, had posted these two photos this morning to deliberately provoke him.
"Grandpa, I'm your own grandson. What good will it do you to make me angry?"
"When you insisted on divorcing Xiaoning, didn't you ever think that I was your own grandfather?"
"It's Jiang Ning who insists on getting a divorce, not me."
"Oh... who is it that's already married but still seen with other women everywhere? Does the wife expect him to just stay and support you without filing for divorce?"
"..."
Lu Junyan was rendered speechless by Lu Lifeng's retort.
"What? Now you realize you were blind before, that Xiao Ning is beautiful, smart, and talented? Regret it now!"
"..."
Hearing the harsh sarcasm on the phone, Lu Junyan truly regretted it.
He regretted that he shouldn't have taken the initiative to call Lu Lifeng.
"Grandpa, what is Jiang Ning doing right now?"
"Xiao Ning is already asleep."
"……good……"
"What's so good about it!"
Lu Lifeng's voice became even more irritable, "I heard you've already left with nothing. You have nothing now. If you can't win Xiaoning back, just wait to be an old bachelor when you're old!"
After saying that, Lu Lifeng hung up the phone first.
Lu Junyan listened to the dial tone coming from the receiver, his mouth pursed like a duck's.
Is he really that unpopular in his grandfather's eyes?
The Lu family's old residence.
Jiang Ning slept exceptionally well.
After confirming that Lu Junyan had indeed left with nothing, she first went to the old house to find Lu Lifeng.
The Lu family's business empire was built single-handedly by Lu Lifeng.
Although the Lu family has other assets besides the Lu Group, the Lu Group is a huge piece of meat for anyone.
Jiang Ning has now easily snatched this piece of meat into his mouth.
Whether it was the divorce agreement or the lawsuit, he never intended for Lu Junyan to leave with nothing.
Because according to convention, it is difficult for courts to order the party at fault to leave with nothing.
Not to mention there is no evidence that Lu Junyan cheated.
However, the verdict was that Lu Junyan was left with nothing.
Judge Chen told Jiang Ning that Lu Junyan accepted the result.
In other words, Lu Junyan himself handed over the Lu Group to her.
Jiang Ning had no idea what Lu Junyan was planning to do.
Not only the Lu Group, but also the Cloud Top Jade Pavilion, the imperial blue Bentley... have all become her assets.
Jiang Ning wasn't unwilling to take over the entire Lu Group, but considering that it was Lu Lifeng's hard work, she took the initiative to come over and greet him.
After getting up and changing her clothes, Jiang Ning came to the living room and met Lu Junyan.
Jiang Ning was stunned.
"Xiao Ning, Junyan made breakfast today. Why don't you try it and see how it tastes?"
Lu Lifeng, who was already seated at the dining table, said this to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning wasn't surprised that Lu Junyan would make breakfast, because Lu Junyan had cooked for her before.
More than cooking, Jiang Ning was surprised by Lu Junyan's attire.
Lu Junyan, who was standing in front of me, was wearing a T-shirt instead of his usual suit and tie.
Wearing a clean and crisp white T-shirt, paired with light blue wide-leg jeans, and with his hair naturally hanging down without any hair wax, he looks nothing like a powerful business tycoon; he's practically a college student who hasn't even graduated yet.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Junyan asked Jiang Ning, a smile playing on his lips and his eyes crinkling.
Jiang Ning found it hard to adapt to the drastic change in Lu Junyan.
Even when Lu Junyan was a junior high school student in the juvenile detention center, his every move was full of arrogance and unruliness. He was nothing like the reserved person he is now.
Jiang Ning stared at Lu Junyan for a long time before bursting into laughter.
Lu Junyan frowned.
"What, is it funny that I'm dressed like this?"
Jiang Ning shook his head.
“It’s not funny, but I don’t think you need to dress like this. Even if you leave with nothing, the Lu family still has plenty of assets to leave you.”
Before the words were even finished, Jiang Ning heard Lu Lifeng say decisively:
“He brought this on himself; I have no assets to leave him.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Junyan immediately shrugged at Jiang Ning.
"Look at me! I'm in such a miserable state now, penniless."
When Jiang Ning was about to sit down to eat, Lu Lifeng had already finished eating, stood up, and winked at Lu Junyan.
Only Jiang Ning and Lu Junyan remained at the dining table.
Jiang Ning focused on eating.
Lu Junyan focused intently on watching Jiang Ning eat.
This breakfast was a fusion of Chinese and Western dishes, including congee with preserved egg and lean pork, cold shredded tripe salad, toasted bread slices with ham slices, lettuce, butter, and jam.
Jiang Ning wasn't unaware that Lu Junyan was staring at her, but she continued eating her breakfast as if no one else was there, enjoying it immensely.
This meal was much better than the one Lu Junyan had made before.
“Lu Junyan…”
As they were finishing breakfast, Jiang Ning called out Lu Junyan's name.
She looked up and met Lu Junyan's eyes, which shone like stars.
Lu Junyan smiled calmly, seemingly unperturbed. Despite having left with nothing, he appeared relieved and at ease.
"Although you handed over the Lu Group to me willingly, now that it belongs to me, I won't be polite."
Although Jiang Ning's words were only brief, she believed that Lu Junyan understood them.
