Chapter 409 A pair of adulterers
Are you alright?
Lu Junyan's deep and gentle voice came from above.
This voice, like the embrace she was holding, gave her a sense of security.
Jiang Ning took a deep breath and smelled the faint scent of men's cologne on Lu Junyan—
It smells wonderful.
Lin Wanrong looked at Lu Junyan, who had appeared in time to shield Jiang Ning from the drink, and her eyes gradually turned angry and irritable.
"So you're worried about your ex-wife, Mr. Lu?"
Lin Wanrong's opening remarks were full of sarcasm and ridicule towards Lu Junyan.
Lu Junyan should have obeyed Lin Jingcheng's wishes and married her back then.
In this way, the Lin family and the Lu family become in-laws, which will allow them to dominate the business world and be invincible.
This is a win-win situation for both the Lu and Lin families.
Lin Wanrong couldn't help but think that if Lu Junyan hadn't stubbornly chosen Jiang Ning but had chosen her instead, many of the things that followed wouldn't have happened.
"Mr. Lu, don't you think you look like a simp right now? Even if you do this for Jiang Ning, she won't be grateful to you, let alone get back together with you."
Lin Wanrong curled her fiery red lips and looked at Lu Junyan and Jiang Ning, who were embracing each other, with an air of superiority.
Jiang Ning wanted to push Lu Junyan away, but Lu Junyan refused to let go.
He was still holding Jiang Ning, glanced at Lin Wanrong, and said casually:
"Miss Lin should take a look in the mirror."
"What do you mean?"
Lin Wanrong's expression changed.
Lu Junyan smiled.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to remind Miss Lin that you were not good-looking to begin with, and now jealousy has made you even uglier."
"you!"
Lin Wanrong stomped her feet in anger.
Just then, a waiter happened to pass by carrying a plate full of red wine.
Lin Wanrong picked up a glass of wine again, but this time, she controlled herself and did not splash it at Lu Junyan.
Lu Junyan also held a glass of red wine in his hand.
Finally, Lu Junyan released Jiang Ning, and Jiang Ning felt that she could breathe smoothly again.
At this moment, Lu Junyan and Jiang Ning stood side by side, their sharp eyes fixed on Lin Wanrong.
Lin Wanrong glanced at Jiang Ning with disdain, then stared at Lu Junyan.
"Mr. Lu, although you were very rude to me, I am a magnanimous person and I will forgive you."
Lin Wanrong raised her glass to Lu Junyan with a cold smile.
A smile bloomed on Lu Junyan's face, which had been as cold as an ice sculpture just a second ago.
He strode toward Lin Wanrong, holding the glass of red wine in his hand.
"But I'm petty and don't want to forgive you."
With those resolute words, Lu Junyan poured a full glass of red wine over Lin Wanrong's head.
Lin Wanrong was stunned.
Red wine streamed down her face from her head, staining her priceless evening gown.
All the guests present saw it, and they were all dumbfounded.
Including Jiangning.
Although she and Lu Junyan did not come with any good intentions today.
Instead, he deliberately leaked information to Lin Wanrong, provoking her into a desperate act and sowing discord between her and Wang Jun.
However, she never intended to cause trouble.
Lu Junyan's actions were indeed beyond her expectations.
Jiang Ning felt his chest pounding.
She felt... she wasn't just being delusional—
The reason Lu Junyan splashed wine all over Lin Wanrong's face without hesitation was to help her get revenge.
Of all those present, the most shocked person was Lin Wanrong herself.
This was the first time in her life that she had been splashed with wine in front of everyone at a banquet.
"What is Mr. Lu doing!"
Sun Qiaoyu rushed over, wiping the red wine off Lin Wanrong's hair and face while questioning Lu Junyan.
He was the organizer and host of this charity gala, and the Lin family was his closest partner.
Lin Wanrong was splashed with wine in public, and he could not simply sit idly by and wait for his fate.
"Mr. Lu caused trouble at the banquet I hosted. Is he deliberately trying to embarrass me?"
When questioned by Sun Qiaoyu, Lu Junyan smiled calmly.
"Mr. Sun has misunderstood..."
Upon hearing Lu Junyan's words, Sun Qiaoyu's tense facial muscles immediately relaxed.
He thought Lu Junyan would apologize to him.
"You're not that important to me."
In an instant, Sun Qiaoyu's face fell.
"Lu Junyan! Don't push your luck."
Lu Junyan shrugged nonchalantly after being glared at by Sun Qiaoyu.
"Mr. Sun, aren't you afraid that your wife will find out that you and Ms. Lin are having an affair, since you're so eager to stand up for Miss Lin?"
Lu Junyan's casual remark not only tarnished Sun Qiaoyu's reputation but also made Lin Wanrong, who was already humiliated, lose even more face.
Many people around began to whisper and murmur among themselves, pointing and commenting on Sun Qiaoyu and Lin Wanrong.
This scene left Sun Qiaoyu momentarily out of control.
He originally intended to salvage the Sun family's image by hosting this charity gala, but little did he expect...
Sun Qiaoyu harbored deep hatred for Lu Junyan.
Lin Wanrong was the same in this respect.
However, Lin Wanrong hated Jiang Ning even more.
Because everything she is experiencing right now stems from Lu Junyan's desire to avenge Jiang Ning.
"Jiang Ning, shall we go?"
Lu Junyan gently put his arm around Jiang Ning's back.
"Yes, your clothes are all dirty."
Jiang Ning looked at Lu Junyan with a mixture of self-reproach and concern.
"It's just a piece of clothing, it's alright."
As Lu Junyan spoke, he took off his white suit jacket, which was stained with red wine, and threw it on the ground.
Then, with his arm around Jiang Ning, he strode out of the venue.
Inside the venue, Sun Qiaoyu and Lin Wanrong, unable to leave, were the focus of all the guests' attention.
Lin Wanrong wanted Sun Qiaoyu to prepare a change of clothes for her, but with so many eyes watching her, she couldn't whisper anything to him.
In fact, after the Sun family and the Lin family began to cooperate closely, there were many rumors that she had an improper relationship with Sun Qiaoyu.
Each time, Lin Wanrong and Sun Qiaoyu denied the rumors.
However, judging from the way others are looking at them now, it's clear they see the two of them as a pair of adulterers.
Lin Wanrong was furious.
It's all Lu Junyan's fault!
It's all Jiang Ning's fault!
Beside him, Sun Qiaoyu also had a dark face and was gritting his teeth.
Lu Junyan, I won't let this go!
On the way, Lu Junyan drove Jiang Ning home.
Jiang Ning noticed that Lu Junyan's lips were always turned up.
"You seem to be in a good mood?"
Jiang Ning took the initiative to ask.
"It's alright..."
"Because you made Lin Wanrong and Sun Qiaoyu suffer a setback?"
Jiang Ning then asked.
"no……"
Lu Junyan shook his head, which surprised Jiang Ning.
"Why is that?"
Aside from making Lin Wanrong and Sun Qiaoyu suffer, Jiang Ning couldn't think of anything else that could make Lu Junyan so happy.
The car drove on for a while before she heard Lu Junyan's reply:
"I'm in a good mood, and it has nothing to do with Lin Wanrong or Sun Qiaoyu... it's because I hugged you."
