Chapter 297 Even her only true love was taken away
"President Jiang, the air conditioning here is too strong."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Wanrong, who was next to him, covered her mouth and sneezed.
At the same time, Lu Junyan took off his suit jacket and draped it over Jiang Ning's shoulders.
The air conditioning here is really strong; Jiang Ning got goosebumps all over from the cold wind.
She never expected that Lu Junyan would be the first person to notice her coldness.
The suit jacket draped over Lu Junyan's shoulders still carried a trace of warmth, making it incredibly cozy.
Across from her, Lin Wanrong's face was pale from the cold, and she sneezed several times in a row.
She glared fiercely at Lu Junyan.
"You think you can get rid of me by leaving with nothing?"
Lu Junyan's gaze fell on Lin Wanrong, and suddenly became colder than air conditioning.
"Miss Lin is overthinking it..."
His naturally smiling lips curved into a slight arc.
"I left with nothing because I wanted to be President Jiang's assistant, it has nothing to do with you."
"you!"
Lin Wanrong's eyes widened.
“Ah Ning…”
At this moment, Bai Yichen grabbed Jiang Ning's arm.
"Ms. Lin seems to have a lot to say to your assistant. Why don't we give them some time alone?"
Before Jiang Ning could speak, Bai Yichen had already pulled her away.
Lu Junyan's deep eyes reflected Jiang Ning's tall and slender back.
The further away that figure got from him, the tighter his chest felt.
"Lu Junyan, Jiang Ning doesn't like you at all. What's the point of you being such a simp!"
Lin Wanrong's harsh words caught Lu Junyan's attention.
He looked at Lin Wanrong's heavily made-up face and smiled faintly.
"I don't like you either, but you're still happily licking my boots, aren't you?"
"Lu Junyan!"
Lin Wanrong raised her hand as if to slap Lu Junyan.
Just then, Jiang Ning turned his head and inadvertently witnessed this scene.
Lin Wanrong's slap missed Lu Junyan's face; Lu Junyan stopped it in time.
"Lin Wanrong, you don't like me, yet you want to marry me... Why?"
Lu Junyan asked directly, his dark eyes fixed on Lin Wanrong.
"Do you want the Lu family's wealth? Or... what Jiang Ning once owned?"
When Lu Junyan uttered the second half of his sentence, Lin Wanrong's eyes instantly revealed a look of panic as if her thoughts had been exposed.
Lu Junyan lowered his eyelids slightly.
It seems that Lin Wanrong cares more about what Jiang Ning once owned than the Lu family's vast assets.
Why?
Jiang Ning and Lin Wanrong...aren't they two completely unrelated people?
As Lu Junyan turned to chase after Jiang Ning, he saw someone stepping ahead of him and standing beside Jiang Ning—
Gu Jinci arrived rather late. As soon as he entered Yangshengzhai, he headed straight for Jiangning.
"I have reviewed President Jiang's promotional plan for the FZZL project, and it is very good... The AI system has also been developed and entered the testing phase. I believe it will be launched next week as planned."
"Okay, that's good. Thank you for your hard work."
Jiang Ning originally wanted to ask Gu Jinci how things were progressing between him and Gu Lanlan.
However, this social occasion doesn't seem suitable for discussing personal matters.
So she and Gu Jinci kept talking about business.
Outside the shop window, no one noticed that someone was secretly peeking inside.
She was wearing a baseball cap and a large face mask, clearly not wanting anyone to recognize her.
Gu Lanlan never imagined that she would one day become a stalker.
However, she really couldn't let go.
How could she possibly let go of the man she had fallen in love with for the first time in her life?
A while ago, on the day Jiang Ning officially divorced Lu Junyan, she invited her and Bai Yichen out to dinner to celebrate.
She refused.
It wasn't that she was still resentful about Jiang Ning's ambiguous relationship with Gu Jinci during their previous date.
Rather, she was genuinely in a bad mood those few days.
Rather than saying she and Gu Jinci had a fight, it would be more accurate to say they were having a cold war.
Moreover, it was a one-sided cold war initiated by Gu Jinci.
Gu Lanlan didn't understand either. She and Gu Jinci were watching fireworks together sweetly at the amusement park that time.
But suddenly, Gu Jinci became very cold towards her.
Just yesterday, Gu Jinci broke up with her.
No matter how much Gu Lanlan pleaded or begged, Gu Jinci was determined to end their relationship.
What Gu Jinci said to her was—
He changed his mind.
He fell in love with someone else.
Gu Lanlan cried all night, and her eyes are still red and swollen.
She knew that Gu Jinci was going to attend the opening ceremony of the new Yangshengzhai store today, so she disguised herself and sneaked over here.
Through the spotless shop window, she could clearly see Gu Jinci smiling, his affectionate eyes never leaving Jiang Ning.
Gu Lanlan was, after all, a woman, and possessed a woman's intuition.
Judging from the way Gu Jinci looked at Jiang Ning, she knew that the person Gu Jinci had fallen for was Jiang Ning.
Gu Lanlan's already red and swollen eyes couldn't help but shed more tears.
Gu Jinci's company has a cooperative relationship with the Lu Group, which is now owned by Jiang Ning.
Therefore, Gu Jinci and Jiang Ning must have had frequent interactions.
However, in Gu Lanlan's opinion, it was during that four-person date that Jiang Ning took the initiative to throw himself into Gu Jinci's arms, which aroused Gu Jinci's feelings in that regard.
"Then what am I..."
Gu Lanlan's voice was hoarse, her chest aching with both pain and anger.
Jiang Ning already has Bai Yichen.
Even without Bai Yichen, Jiang Ning still has Mo Yan, Yuan Pei, and even Pete.
At worst, there's still Lu Junyan!
But what about her?
She only had Gu Jinci.
Why does Jiang Ning have the right to steal away her only true love?!
Gu Lanlan crouched down in anguish, covering her face and weeping uncontrollably.
The opening ceremony of Yangshengzhai was over, and Jiang Ning walked out, followed by his assistant Lu Junyan.
As she walked toward the underground parking lot, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of a figure fleeing in panic.
"Lanlan?"
Jiang Ning was surprised.
But she also felt that she hadn't misread it.
After getting into the imperial blue Bentley, Jiang Ning took out his phone and called Gu Lanlan.
She couldn't get through the first time.
She called a second time, and this time the call finally went through.
"Lanlan?"
"I don't want to talk to you."
Gu Lanlan refused very decisively.
Jiang Ning was completely baffled.
"What's wrong, Lanlan? Did I do something to upset you?"
"Don't you know what you've done?"
Jiang Ning was completely baffled by Gu Lanlan's question.
"I just attended an opening ceremony... I really don't know what I did to make you so angry..."
"Gu Jinci broke up with me!"
"What?"
"He broke up with me because of you!"
After shouting those words, Gu Lanlan hung up the phone.
Jiang Ning was completely out of the loop and had no choice but to contact the person involved.
"Hello, Gu Jinci?"
"What's wrong, Mr. Jiang?"
Seeing that Gu Jinci addressed him as "President Jiang," Jiang Ning thought that Gu Jinci must have mistakenly thought that she was calling him about the FZZL project.
"If you have time, I'd like to treat you to a meal."
