Chapter 32 Asking the Person She Least Wanted to Ask
Jiang Ning and Ning Junzhe went straight to the police station without even changing their clothes.
As soon as Jiang Ning entered the room, he saw Gu Lanlan sitting obediently at her desk, with one eye bruised.
"Lanlan!"
Jiang Ning rushed over and hugged Gu Lanlan tightly.
"How did you get beaten up like this!"
Jiang Ning's eyes were blazing with fury.
She had already learned from the police that Gu Lanlan had gotten into a fight.
The other party was, by sheer coincidence, Song Lili and Wang Yang.
As the saying goes, enemies often meet on a narrow road.
After getting off work in the evening, Gu Lanlan went shopping on her way home and ran into Song Lili and Wang Yang talking badly about Jiang Ning behind her back. The insults they were using were incredibly offensive. She couldn't stand it, so she went over and argued with them, and the argument eventually escalated into a physical fight.
Although the police brought all three people back for questioning, it was Gu Lanlan who struck first.
Seeing Jiang Ning clench his fists, Gu Lanlan couldn't help but laugh and say, "Don't say I didn't warn you, this is a police station."
She knew Jiang Ning knew Sanda (Chinese kickboxing), and she also knew that Jiang Ning was usually not impulsive, but when he did act impulsively, he was more frightening than anyone else.
"Don't worry, those two bitches are more seriously injured than I am."
Jiang Ning didn't believe Gu Lanlan's words at first, thinking that Gu Lanlan was just trying to comfort her.
When Song Lili and Wang Yang appeared, Jiang Ning almost burst out laughing.
"You're something else, you beat them both up like pigs."
Even with a black eye, Gu Lanlan looked proud when praised.
"Lili! Ayang!"
Suddenly, the familiar shout made Jiang Ning and Gu Lanlan's smiles disappear simultaneously.
Chu Qingxue walked into the police station, followed by Lu Junyan.
Lu Junyan was not surprised to see Jiang Ning.
When Chu Qingxue told him that Song Lili and Wang Yang had been beaten by Gu Lanlan, he guessed that he would see Jiang Ning here.
However, he hadn't expected Ning Junzhe to be there as well.
Lu Junyan's gaze lingered on Ning Junzhe and Jiang Ning.
That day, when he first saw Ning Junzhe next to Jiang Ning at the Japanese restaurant, he knew that Ning Junzhe was the eldest son of the Ning family.
Their circle is only so big, and they know all the people in it, even if they've never met each other.
He even knew that Ning Junzhe was having conflicts with his family at the time.
Therefore, Ning Junzhe, like an ordinary college student, rarely wore a suit.
Now, although he has regained his status as a young master from a wealthy family, Ning Junzhe's tuxedo today clearly indicates that he is attending a special occasion.
For example, dating.
Looking at Jiang Ning again, Lu Junyan's eyes were even darker.
He had never seen Jiang Ning wearing that black sequined dress before. It wasn't bought by him, because all the clothes he bought for Jiang Ning were pink, and Jiang Ning herself didn't buy clothes.
The reason Lu Junyan always buys pink clothes is because he used to give them to Chu Qingxue back in high school.
He knew nothing about women's clothing, only Chu Qingxue's preferences.
He assumed all women liked wearing pink clothes.
so……
Does Jiang Ning like black?
This question lingered in Lu Junyan's mind for only a few seconds.
Jiang Ning's dress is not only not in color, but the style is also quite unusual.
Deep V-neck and backless dress—if Jiang Ning had dressed like this before, her mother would have scolded her for being promiscuous and indecent.
However, this style looks sexy and elegant on Jiang Ning.
Feeling uncomfortable under Lu Junyan's gaze, Jiang Ning deliberately turned her face away.
Lu Junyan realized that even with Jiang Ning's heavy makeup, her swollen eyes still couldn't be hidden.
If Ning Junzhe isn't blind or stupid, he should be able to guess what Jiang Ning and he did last night.
Lu Junyan smiled faintly, his mood improving.
Beside her, Chu Qingxue saw Song Lili and Wang Yang being beaten black and blue by Gu Lanlan and cried her heart out.
Lu Junyan took out a tissue and gently wiped away her tears.
"Junyan, Lili and Ayang are my best sisters, you must stand up for them!"
Chu Qingxue cried as she grabbed Lu Junyan's hand.
"In broad daylight, you touched the hand of a married man. Don't you have any shame?!"
Gu Lanlan had long wanted to confront Chu Qingxue, and this time she finally got her chance.
Jiang Ning immediately tugged at Gu Lanlan's sleeve and shook his head.
Now is not the time to offend Chu Qingxue. Chu Qingxue is backed by Lu Junyan, and the Lu family is incredibly powerful. She doesn't want Gu Lanlan to have a criminal record because of her.
Chu Qingxue bit her jelly-like lips, trying to pull her hand back, but Lu Junyan held it tightly.
"You scumbag!" Gu Lanlan couldn't help but mutter under her breath.
Lu Junyan held Chu Qingxue's hand and spoke to the police, but his eyes were fixed on Jiang Ning.
"Chief Li, detain this man!"
"You can't detain him!" Jiang Ning exclaimed urgently. "Officer, we'll pay to settle..."
"How much money are you willing to give?" Lu Junyan asked Jiang Ning with a smile. "And whose money are you giving it to?"
"Anyway, it's not your money." Ning Junzhe slammed a black card on the table.
Gu Lanlan stood to the side, not daring to utter a sound, and her earlier arrogance vanished.
She comes from an ordinary family, and Lu Junyan's demands are outrageous; she couldn't afford to pay even if she sold two kidneys.
Jiang Ning has been a housewife for many years, and all the money she has spent has been Lu Junyan's.
As for Ning Junzhe, he is rich, but he's only after Jiang Ning.
Gu Lanlan knew that Jiang Ning didn't have any romantic feelings for Ning Junzhe at the moment, and she didn't want Jiang Ning to owe Ning Junzhe a favor.
Jiang Ning bent down, picked up the black card, and returned it to Ning Junzhe. Then, she calmly said to Lu Junyan, "I have already returned all the money and things you gave me before. Not a single penny of the money I spend now came from you... Just name a number, how much do you want to settle? I'll give you whatever you want."
The police station suddenly became very quiet.
Everyone was looking at Jiang Ning.
Including Lu Junyan.
He frowned slightly, feeling that Jiang Ning wasn't just putting on a brave face.
Jiang Ning was making plans in his mind.
She only had tens of millions in her bank account, which is an astronomical figure for ordinary people, but in Lu Junyan's eyes, it wasn't even a small goal.
If Lu Junyan really demands 100 billion or 100 billion before he'll settle...
Jiang Ning gritted his teeth inwardly.
Then she would have no choice but to ask the person she least wanted to ask for help.
After a long silence, Lu Junyan chuckled softly and asked Chu Qingxue beside him.
"What do you suggest? I'll do whatever you say."
Chu Qingxue wiped away her tears delicately and said to Lu Junyan, "We don't lack money. I just want the perpetrator to receive the punishment he deserves."
This righteous and stern statement pleased Lu Junyan, and Jiang Ning saw the admiration for Chu Qingxue in Lu Junyan's eyes.
"That's it, we won't accept a settlement, no matter how much money is involved."
“Lu Junyan…”
"Ah Ning, stop talking! So what if you're going to detain me? Do you really think I'm scared?!"
Gu Lanlan stopped Jiang Ning.
However, Jiang Ning still wanted to try again.
"Lu Junyan, you won't get any benefits from detaining Lanlan. Shouldn't businessmen pursue returns?"
Just as Gu Lanlan was about to be taken away by the police, Jiang Ning picked up his phone.
Before she could even make the call, Lu Junyan's deep, indifferent voice came from behind her.
"I can also choose not to detain her, unless..."
City A is awakened by the first rays of morning sunlight, and office workers begin their busy day once again.
Lu's Group.
The CEO's office.
Yuan Pei was sitting opposite Lu Junyan, drinking coffee.
"Hey Lu, aren't you afraid your wife will be angry if you bring that old hag into the company?"
