Chapter 295 You've Gotten This Too
Over the weekend, Jiang Ning came to Xingye District to attend the opening ceremony of Fang Qiao's new store.
Fang Qiao's Health Preservation Restaurant has chosen a very large storefront in Xingye District this time, with three floors, which is quite impressive.
The imperial blue Bentley came to a stop in the parking lot, and Lu Junyan was the first to get out.
At this time, there were other invited guests around, all of whom were either rich or noble.
They were all surprised to see Lu Junyan.
Lu Junyan was ordered to leave with nothing in the divorce case, handing over the entire Lu Group to Jiang Ning. This news quickly spread throughout the business community.
However, although the Lu Group was lost, the Lu family's other businesses still existed, so they were not surprised that Lu Junyan would appear here.
What surprised them was Lu Junyan's attire.
Lu Junyan was wearing a black suit, but it was an inexpensive one, and he was also wearing a pair of snow-white gloves.
He doesn't look like the CEO who drives a Bentley.
He seems more like the boss's driver.
Lu Junyan's subsequent actions further confirmed their suspicions.
Lu Junyan took the initiative to walk around to the other side of the car, gentlemanly and respectfully opened the car door, and invited the people inside to get out.
Many people around did not rush into the health retreat, but stood by their cars looking towards the imperial blue Bentley, as if the person about to get out of the car was a big star.
As Jiang Ning stepped out of the car, he immediately felt the gazes directed at him from all around.
However, she couldn't immediately tell whether those gazes were directed at her or at Lu Junyan.
Lu Junyan walked with her, but not side by side; he stayed slightly behind, like a bodyguard protecting her.
"Could the rumors be true?"
Nearby, onlookers couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
"I heard that Lu Junyan is now Jiang Ning's assistant."
"Really?"
"Look at them now, it's probably true."
"The Lu family wouldn't go that far, would they? Without the Lu Group, Lu Junyan wouldn't need to become his ex-wife's assistant!"
"Are you stupid? Can't you see that Lu Junyan is trying every possible way to win back his ex-wife?"
"But didn't the Lu family want Lu Junyan to marry the daughter of Minister Lin of Country C?"
"Now that the Lu family's assets have evaporated, the Lin family might not even be interested in them anymore!"
"However, I heard that the Lin family's daughter is very fond of Lu Junyan."
"Everyone likes Lu Junyan's looks."
Listening to the gossip around him, Jiang Ning subconsciously glanced at Lu Junyan.
Lu Junyan is now her assistant, and he is very professional. Since he became her assistant, he has never worn a single designer piece of clothing, and he even wears a pair of white gloves, for fear that others will not regard him as a driver.
Even so, Lu Junyan's innate nobility still made him stand out among the wealthy and powerful guests.
Jiang Ning, escorted by Lu Junyan, walked into the Health Preservation Hall, with countless eyes following her the whole way.
"Actually, you didn't need to come with me."
Jiang Ning spoke calmly.
Fang Qiao has always had a wide network of connections, and today's grand opening celebration of his new store must have invited many industry leaders and bigwigs.
And every single one of those people knew Lu Junyan.
Now that Lu Junyan has become her assistant, appearing in front of these people as an assistant will only become fodder for gossip.
"Thank you for being so considerate of me."
Lu Junyan's magnetic voice entered Jiang Ning's ears, like a clear stream flowing straight to his heart.
Jiang Ning's face turned cold, and she glared at Lu Junyan.
You're overthinking it.
Even when glared at, Lu Junyan's gentle smile remained unchanged; in fact, it grew even stronger.
Jiang Ning is really considerate of him.
Even though she had divorced him and no longer loved him, she still didn't want him to be ridiculed.
Lu Junyan's heart was beating a little fast.
The health-preserving restaurant was filled with distinguished guests dressed in their finest attire.
Fang Qiao's opening ceremony was a banquet held in the lobby on the first floor, where guests were invited to taste the nourishing products of their health-preserving vegetarian restaurant.
A waiter carrying water nearly bumped into Jiang Ning, but Lu Junyan quickly grabbed Jiang Ning's hand and pulled her into his arms.
This scene was like a nail piercing the eyes of several people.
"Ah Ning!"
Bai Yichen strode over and slapped Lu Junyan's hand away.
Lu Junyan's hand was burning with pain, which showed how angry Bai Yichen was.
"I didn't even know that Mr. Fang had invited you as well."
"Yeah, I didn't know you were here too."
Jiang Ning spoke the truth.
Bai Yichen was unaware that she was the Lin family's biological daughter, and Fang Qiao had a very good relationship with the Lin family. Even if she wasn't the new head of the Lu Group, Fang Qiao would still invite her.
Bai Yichen came on behalf of his work unit, so he didn't ask Jiang Ning to be his date.
He knew that Lu Junyan was now Jiang Ning's assistant.
For this reason, he cursed Lu Junyan in his heart countless times for being a persistent ghost.
Bai Yichen naturally supported Jiang Ning's back and went with Jiang Ning to exchange pleasantries with Fang Qiao first.
Lu Junyan walked behind like a follower, only able to watch Jiang Ning and Bai Yichen walk side by side from behind.
"I never thought you'd end up like this."
Turning his head at the sound, Lu Junyan saw Mo Yan walking towards him, pushing up his gold-rimmed glasses.
Mo Yan's smile clearly betrayed his schadenfreude.
However, Lu Junyan didn't mind.
"I'm doing pretty well now, I still get 2,500 yuan a month!"
Mo Yan was taken aback by Lu Junyan's words, then waved his hand.
“You’ve misunderstood… When I said ‘you’ve finally met your match,’ I didn’t mean you were working as an assistant.”
Those familiar with the Lu family know that even if they lose the Lu Group, the Lu family will not collapse as long as Lu Lifeng lives.
Whether Lu Junyan is the president or an assistant, it doesn't affect his status as the young master of the Lu family.
"When I said 'you've finally met your match,' I meant that you've finally gone to great lengths to lower yourself to pursue someone else... and you haven't even succeeded yet. You should all be overjoyed."
When Mo Yan retorted, Lu Junyan calmly retorted:
"You talk as if you've actually caught up with him. Do you think Jiang Ning even glanced at you?"
Both Mo Yan and Lu Junyan turned their gazes toward Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning was exchanging pleasantries with Fang Qiao, with Bai Yichen standing beside him.
The two of them looked like a match made in heaven, a perfect couple.
Mo Yan's eyes, hidden behind his gold-rimmed glasses, turned cold and sharp.
"So, the person Jiang Ning likes now is him?"
Lu Junyan's expression changed slightly. After a moment of silence, he replied:
"I have no idea."
Mo Yan glanced at Lu Junyan and grinned, "Anyway, Jiang Ning definitely doesn't like you anymore, which makes me quite happy."
Lu Junyan glared at Mo Yan immediately.
Despite his refined and gentle appearance, Mo Yan has an extremely wicked personality and especially enjoys seeing him suffer.
"Jiangning..."
Mo Yan called out to Jiang Ning in a very open and generous manner and walked over.
"So Dr. Bai is really your boyfriend?"
In front of Fang Qiao, Mo Yan asked the question directly.
Jiang Ning opened his mouth, but before he could utter a sound, Bai Yichen answered for him:
"yes."
Bai Yichen only said this one word, his tone resolute.
Upon receiving this reply, Mo Yan curled the corners of his lips and turned to glance at Lu Junyan.
