Chapter 406 Jiang Ning and I are about to remarry.
Seeing the sly smile in Lu Junyan's eyes, Jiang Ning rested her chin on her hand and sighed.
"Now that you've said that, I don't feel smart at all. Instead, it feels like you're mocking me for being stupid..."
After hearing Jiang Ning's words, Lu Junyan quickly shook his head and explained:
"I really didn't mean that, please don't misunderstand."
Jiang Ning was stunned.
She hadn't expected Lu Junyan to be so nervous.
After thinking for a moment, she said, "You think... if the news about the opening ceremony of Kangning Hospital includes photos of me and Wang Jun alone, although the message is obvious, it's precisely because it's too obvious that Lin Wanrong won't take the bait, and Wang Jun will also see through our intentions?"
"See? I told you you were smart."
Lu Junyan raised his hand and flicked Jiang Ning's forehead.
Lu Junyan didn't use much force this time, but Jiang Ning still covered his forehead.
Did I hurt you?
Upon hearing this, Lu Junyan's expression immediately turned awkward, as he felt that Lu Junyan's words could be interpreted in other ways.
Jiang Ning inexplicably felt a heat on his face.
She cleared her throat, avoiding Lu Junyan's burning gaze.
“These photos... all show high-ranking government officials from Country C who are approving projects, but Wang Jun and I are in them, and we're standing together…”
Jiang Ning tried to steer the conversation back to the main topic.
"However... at first glance, it's actually quite inconspicuous."
"That's exactly what I wanted—to be inconspicuous."
Lu Junyan's voice was firm.
“Someone as cautious and suspicious as Wang Jun would definitely be able to guess our intentions, and these photos can effectively conceal our intentions… The fact that Lin Wanrong would notice two such insignificant people just proves that… her suspicions about Wang Jun are already very deep.”
"Um……"
Jiang Ning thought Lu Junyan's words made a lot of sense.
"But... what if Lin Wanrong didn't notice..."
That's impossible.
Just as Lu Junyan gave his resolute answer, his phone rang.
It was his inside contact in the Lin Group who sent him the WeChat message:
It seems that Attorney Wang had another big argument with General Manager Lin in the office, and afterwards he took ten days of annual leave.
Lu Junyan handed his phone to Jiang Ning, who couldn't help but smile knowingly after reading the message.
A week later, Jiang Ning met Lin Wanrong again at a charity gala hosted by the Sun family.
Recently, as Jianglu Group has entered the C country market and grown closer to the C country government, Sun Qiaoyu has felt a sense of crisis.
Their partner was the Lin family, but the Lin family's reputation has been declining recently, and there are signs that their relationship with the government is about to break down.
In an effort to salvage the company's image and maintain good relations with the government of Country C, Sun Qiaoyu chose to hold a charity dinner at the International Financial Conference Hall, claiming that the funds raised would be used to support children in remote areas.
Jiang Ning and Lu Junyan were among those invited.
Of course, even if Sun Qiaoyu doesn't take the initiative to invite them, the government of Country C will invite them.
Tonight, Lu Junyan wore a white suit, which was unusual for him. The fabric had a high-end matte texture.
As soon as he appeared in the venue, he attracted the attention of countless people.
"He looks just like a prince on a white horse!"
"He's so handsome, even more handsome than celebrities."
"This is the first time I've met Lu Junyan in person... He seems a bit different from the rumors?"
"That's right! I thought he'd have a really scary aura!"
"He turned out to be like a noble prince... Wait, is he single now?"
“I heard he was married, but divorced… The woman next to him, she’s Lu Junyan’s ex-wife.”
The group of women, who had been chatting and gossiping together, finally shifted their attention from Lu Junyan to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning also wore a white dress tonight, an ivory satin fishtail skirt. The dress itself had no extra decorations, but the cut and design were very unique, with the fishtail hem being particularly prominent.
Most importantly, she wore a crown on her updo—
Platinum inlaid with various colored gemstones, it is luxurious, vintage, and exceptionally noble, making it incredibly eye-catching.
As the saying goes, clothing is basic, but accessories are anything but.
The clean-cut, pure white dress paired with a jeweled crown made Jiang Ning look like an empress with absolute power.
Wow...she's the CEO of Jianglu Group?
"Huh? Isn't the top leader Lu Junyan?"
"No, it's this President Jiang... I heard that President Jiang is President Lu's ex-wife."
"Ex-wife and ex-husband starting a company together? This... sounds like they're planning to remarry!"
"It's over, I'm doomed... With such a beautiful ex-wife, there's absolutely no way Mr. Lu would be interested in me!"
Jiang Ning and Lu Junyan were not unaware of the gazes from all around them, but tonight, the two of them wanted to be high-profile.
As soon as Sun Qiaoyu saw Jiang Ning and Lu Junyan arrive, he immediately went to greet them.
Even though everyone present knew that he and Jianglu Group were competitors, he still had to maintain the appearances.
"President Jiang, President Lu, it is truly an honor to have you grace our humble abode with your presence!"
As Sun Qiaoyu spoke, he extended his hand toward Jiang Ning.
Before Jiang Ning could reach out, Sun Qiaoyu's hand was grasped by Lu Junyan.
Jiang Ning was taken aback, and Sun Qiaoyu was also taken aback.
"Is Mr. Lu worried that I'll take advantage of your ex-wife?"
Sun Qiaoyu spoke to Lu Junyan, but his gaze drifted toward Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning is really beautiful.
The kind of beauty that's strong and beautiful.
When Sun Qiaoyu agreed to fund the Lin family's losses, he slept with Lin Wanrong quite often.
Lin Wanrong is also very beautiful, and she knows how to use her beauty.
However, her beauty paled in comparison to Jiang Ning's.
After all, while Lin Wanrong was beautiful, she lacked the elegance and refinement of Jiang Ning.
Her beauty must be accentuated by gorgeous, high-end clothes and jewelry, and she must wear heavy makeup.
Unlike Jiang Ning, who, with just a touch of makeup, could make all the heavily made-up and flamboyant beauties around her pale in comparison.
Sun Qiaoyu stared at Jiang Ning and couldn't help but lick his lips.
The next second, he couldn't help but scream.
"It hurts...it hurts...Mr. Lu...please be gentle..."
Sun Qiaoyu's face was contorted with pain.
He felt that if Lu Junyan wanted to, his hand bones could be easily crushed.
"I was just reminding Mr. Sun that looking at the other person when shaking hands is the most basic courtesy."
"...Yes...Mr. Lu is right..."
Sun Qiaoyu looked away, his face covered in sweat from the pain.
After Lu Junyan released his grip, Sun Qiaoyu's expression turned cold.
"Mr. Lu is so possessive of his ex-wife! But...aren't you divorced? Ms. Jiang is single now. If I pursue Ms. Jiang, Mr. Lu shouldn't be able to interfere, right?"
Facing Sun Qiaoyu's fierce gaze, Lu Junyan smiled calmly.
"Whether it's within your jurisdiction or not isn't up to you... it's up to me. Besides, Jiang Ning and I are about to remarry."
