Chapter 318 Dependence for a Lifetime
He didn't want to see Jiang Ning being so soft-hearted.
They were indeed friends with Gu Lanlan.
But the one who betrayed friendship for love was Gu Lanlan.
If Jiang Ning forgives Gu Lanlan so easily, Gu Lanlan might betray her again and again in the future.
Bai Yichen did not want Jiang Ning to be hurt again.
In the end, Jiang Ning did not turn back, much less comfort Gu Lanlan.
She knew Gu Lanlan was feeling bad, but she was feeling bad too.
"Okay, stop thinking about her... I'll go back to the company with you."
Meeting Bai Yichen's gentle and refined gaze, Jiang Ning nodded.
"I feel like you have magic powers."
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
Bai Yichen tilted his head and asked.
"What I mean is... every time you comfort me, it's very effective. I feel warm inside and very safe... but sometimes, I feel like I'm too dependent on you."
Hearing Jiang Ning's words, Bai Yichen's eyes grew brighter and brighter.
"I'm flattered that you would say that!"
A smile involuntarily bloomed on Jiang Ning's face.
"Ah Ning, I actually hope you can always rely on me..."
Depend on it for a lifetime.
Bai Yichen only thought the last half-sentence in his heart and did not say it out loud.
He was afraid of frightening Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning was already very clear about his feelings for Jiang Ning.
What Jiangning needs now is to gradually get used to his company and accept his love.
Bai Yichen gazed at Jiang Ning's beautiful profile, a tender look appearing in his curved eyebrows.
Although Bai Yichen is not an employee of Lu's Group, everyone in the company knows that Bai Yichen and Jiang Ning are high school classmates and that he is pursuing Jiang Ning.
Moreover, since the company's incident, Bai Yichen has been working tirelessly for Jiang Ning, always staying by her side.
Therefore, many people have already assumed that Bai Yichen is Jiang Ning's boyfriend.
They were not surprised to see Bai Yichen accompanying Jiang Ning back to the company.
Back at the company, Jiang Ning learned that Xiao Zhang had taken leave.
Lu Junyan was not at the company either, but he did not ask for leave.
Jiang Ning couldn't help but wonder if Lu Junyan had really given up.
Currently, the Lu Group has been saved with Bai Yichen's help.
She also spent all her time with Bai Yichen.
Moreover, she made it very clear to Lu Junyan last time at the hotel in the US—
Making amends is not love.
If she were Lu Junyan, she would have given up on winning him back by now.
Sitting in the general manager's office, Jiang Ning rested his chin on his hand, watching the Lu Group's stock gradually recover, feeling somewhat distracted.
Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief that the acquisition of Shaman Technology had stopped.
Actually, she had considered the Lu family's capital beforehand, such as whether Lu Yexiong's company would take advantage of the situation.
As a result, she had people keep an eye on him for a while, but Lu Yexiong made no move.
Jiang Ning thought that this must be Lu Lifeng's idea.
There is no one else but Lu Lifeng who would protect her vested interests in this way.
Both are grandfathers...
A self-deprecating bitter smile appeared on Jiang Ning's face.
If only Lu Lifeng were her biological grandfather...
Sometimes Jiang Ning would think that the reason she was so close to Lu Lifeng was perhaps because of the love she had always lacked from her grandfather.
Jiang Ning closed his laptop, opened a drawer, and took out a photo frame.
This photo frame was the one she retrieved from the Lin family's private residence on the day of Lin Jingcheng's 70th birthday.
It was something she had always wanted to take back but had never been able to.
The photo here is a picture of her and her grandmother.
If we're talking about when she was still Lin Chu, was there anyone who truly protected her?
That would only be her grandmother.
However, fate was unfair; her grandmother was the first to pass away.
Jiang Ning stared at the photo of herself and her grandmother, and her eyes welled up with tears.
Suddenly, a WeChat notification sound rang out in the quiet office.
Jiang Ning picked up his phone casually, opened WeChat, and his fingertips froze.
Can we still be friends?
This WeChat message was sent by Gu Lanlan.
Jiang Ning's already troubled mind was stirred up once again.
She placed her phone face down on the desk and did not reply.
She didn't know how to reply.
Night fell quietly.
"Ah Ning, are you done with work? I know a really good Western restaurant, let's go eat together!"
Bai Yichen knocked on Jiang Ning's office door.
"No, I don't have much of an appetite... I want to go home and cook some noodles myself..."
After Jiang Ning finished speaking, he forced a smile at Bai Yichen.
Bai Yichen's intuition told him that Jiang Ning was in a bad mood because of something, but Jiang Ning didn't want to tell him.
Jiang Ning wanted to be alone for a while.
Bai Yichen's lips moved repeatedly, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Okay, then I'll take you out to eat another day... Be careful driving home, and text me when you get home."
Bai Yichen's words of advice made Jiang Ning chuckle.
She's not a child.
But she knew this was Bai Yichen's way of showing concern for her.
Bai Yichen is really gentle and considerate, unlike Lu Junyan.
As the sun completely sank below sea level, Jiang Ning left the Lu Group.
However, instead of going home, she drove to a bar.
Jiang Ning rarely goes to bars.
I'm not familiar with bars either.
The bar was a mixed bag, and she didn't like the atmosphere. To avoid making a mistake, she called Yuan Pei first.
Yuan Pei immediately recommended five or six bars to her.
Yuan Pei had initially thought that Jiang Ning trusted him and would go to the bar he recommended for drinks.
As a result, Jiang Ning told him that all of these bars were ones she wanted to avoid.
After all, Yuan Pei usually hangs out in rather disreputable places.
After avoiding some bad spots, Jiang Ning searched online and finally settled on a bar with a good reputation and high ratings.
Jiangning's rebellious period was also very rebellious.
Her hair was dyed a granny gray, and she was always smoking.
However, she won't go out drinking.
Because she doesn't like to be unclear-headed.
The bar she carefully selected has a futuristic style and is neither too crowded nor too quiet.
Jiang Ning sat at the bar and ordered a rum on the ice.
She repeatedly opened WeChat.
I repeatedly deleted the words I had typed.
After downing a glass of rum, she still hadn't replied to Gu Lanlan's WeChat message.
"Beautiful lady, are you alone?"
"How about we buy you a drink?"
Two men flanked Jiang Ning from the left and right.
Single women are very likely to encounter this kind of thing in bars.
Jiang Ning glanced at the two men without making a sound.
The two men were short and thin, and reeked of alcohol, so they looked like they had been drinking a lot.
Jiang Ning is in a bad mood because of Gu Lanlan's matter. If these two men dare to make trouble for her, she can take the opportunity to vent her anger on them and beat them to a pulp.
Seeing that Jiang Ning remained silent, one of the men became a little anxious and reached out to put his arm around Jiang Ning's shoulder.
Just as Jiang Ning was about to make a move, a figure suddenly appeared behind her.
The next second, the man's wrist was snapped with a crack.
