Chapter 425 Having Another One
"Xiao Ning is back! Come and sit down!"
Yang Liyun was unusually attentive to Jiang Ning, which made Jiang Ning feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Although Lu Yexiong didn't act as dramatically as Yang Liyun, he still smiled when facing Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning was greatly puzzled.
Logically speaking, Lu Yexiong should hate her to the core.
She had originally agreed to fake her death with Lu Yexiong's help so that Lu Junyan would completely forget her.
As a result, Lu Junyan not only failed to forget her, but also reunited with her on W Island.
It can be said that Lu Yexiong's previous plan was a complete waste of time.
Originally, this was not Jiang Ning's fault; it was all a coincidence.
But based on Jiang Ning's understanding of Lu Yexiong, Lu Yexiong would definitely blame her, believing that she deliberately appeared in front of Lu Junyan and deliberately maintained a lingering relationship with him.
Jiang Ning sat down on the sofa, keeping a certain distance from Lu Yexiong and Yang Liyun.
At this moment, Wang Ma brought her a cup of hot tea.
"Please have some tea, young mistress."
Jiang Ning was stunned.
This is a title I haven't heard in a long time.
However, she and Lu Junyan had long since divorced, and she was no longer the young mistress of the house.
Seeing the confusion in Jiang Ning's heart, Wang Ma showed no intention of changing her mind.
Jiang Ning didn't correct her; she didn't want Wang Ma to look like she had made a mistake.
After taking a sip of hot tea, Lu Yexiong and Yang Liyun began to chat with Jiang Ning.
Lu Junyan didn't join them. He and Lu Lifeng played with Xiaoman in the living room's play area, and the grandfather and granddaughter had a great time.
Jiang Ning chatted with Lu Yexiong and Yang Liyun in a disjointed manner.
Gradually, she realized why Lu Yexiong and Yang Liyun were so friendly to her.
Because now, she is not just Jiang Ning.
It was still Lin Chu.
Even though the Lin family had been through a lot because of Lin Wanrong, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse.
Moreover, now that Lin Wanrong has been arrested and committed suicide, the award ceremony that exposed Lin Wanrong's crimes was broadcast live globally. Everyone knows that the problem is not with the Lin Group, but with Lin Wanrong alone. Now, with Lin Yueheng's help, the Lin Group is regrouping and its stock price is steadily rising.
Furthermore, Lin Jingcheng's original will left the Lin Group to Jiang Ning, who was also the head of the Jianglu Group. These connections further increased the value of the Lin Group.
From the beginning, Lu Yexiong had been eager to form a marriage alliance with the Lin family in order to consolidate and expand the Lu family's capital.
Now, Jiang Ning has transformed into the true heiress of the Lin family and their only legitimate heir, and the Lin Group will most likely fall into her hands.
Therefore, even out of respect for the Lin family, Lu Yexiong still had to maintain a friendly relationship with Jiang Ning.
Yang Liyun's case is even simpler.
She favors whoever can bring greater benefits to the Lu family.
"Xiao Ning, your career is at its peak right now, but a woman's youth only lasts a few years, you still need to find a good partner..."
As Yang Liyun changed the subject, Jiang Ning immediately realized what she wanted to say.
“Look…you and Junyan were husband and wife before, and your previous divorce was due to a misunderstanding…now that the misunderstanding is cleared up, I think you two should remarry as soon as possible…”
"Aunt Yang..."
Jiang Ning couldn't help but interrupt Yang Liyun.
“I have a child with me! Xiaoman... he is not Lu Junyan’s son.”
Jiang Ning spoke the second half of the sentence very seriously and decisively.
Yang Liyun's expression changed.
Lu Junyan and Lu Lifeng, who were playing with Xiaoman, also heard Jiang Ning's words, but neither of them reacted.
Yang Liyun's smile quickly returned.
“We know, we know…we all know Xiaoman isn’t Junyan’s child, but look at Junyan, he likes Xiaoman a lot! And Xiaoman likes Junyan too…”
Yang Liyun's reaction was quite unexpected for Jiang Ning.
She never expected that her status as the heir of the Lin family would make Yang Liyun not mind that she was raising someone else's child.
"Jiangning..."
At this moment, Lu Yexiong spoke, his expression not serious.
Jiang Ning could tell that Lu Yexiong was deliberately trying not to put too much pressure on her.
"I remember you said before that you couldn't have children, right?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning's face instantly turned cold.
Not far away, Lu Junyan, who was holding Xiaoman, also had a stern expression.
The atmosphere in the living room changed instantly, as if the temperature had dropped several degrees.
Lu Yexiong noticed the awkwardness and immediately cleared his throat to explain:
"I didn't mean anything by it, don't misunderstand... I just wanted to say that since you were able to give birth to Xiaoman, it shows that you are in good health, so... you don't need to feel any pressure. After you and Junyan remarry, the two of you can have another one."
"dad!"
Lu Yexiong had barely finished speaking when Lu Junyan yelled at him.
After a brief exchange of glances with Lu Junyan, Lu Yexiong quickly changed his tune:
“It’s okay. I won’t force you if you don’t want to have any more children. It’s up to you… After you and Junyan remarry, Xiaoman will become a child of the Lu family.”
“That’s right, that’s right,” Yang Liyun chimed in from the side.
Jiang Ning remained silent.
She felt as if everyone in the Lu family had tacitly agreed that she would remarry Lu Junyan.
However……
After Jiang Ning finished his tea, he stood up and played with Xiao Man for a while.
Lu Yexiong and Yang Liyun exchanged glances, neither of them able to figure out Jiang Ning's plans for remarrying Lu Junyan.
After playing with Xiaoman for about half an hour, Jiang Ning said to Lu Lifeng, "Grandpa, let me cook you a dish, just one."
"Won't this be too much work for you?" Lu Lifeng asked Jiang Ning politely, though deep down he was really craving Jiang Ning's cooking.
Jiang Ning could tell, and said with a smile, "Cooking is also one of my hobbies, it's not hard work."
Dinner was prepared by a chef hired by Lu Lifeng, and it was delicious and visually appealing, while Jiang Ning only made one dish: steamed pork ribs.
However, this steamed pork ribs dish is the most popular.
Lu Lifeng barely ate anything else, focusing solely on the steamed pork ribs Jiang Ning had made, praising them endlessly as he ate:
"After all this time, Xiao Ning's cooking skills haven't deteriorated at all; it's still so delicious... I'm going to eat a lot today."
Lu Lifeng is a man of his word.
If Lu Junyan hadn't rushed to grab a few pieces, he almost wouldn't have gotten any at all.
Jiang Ning never expected that she would witness Lu Junyan and his grandson Lu Lifeng fighting over a dish.
She cooked extra food in the kitchen because she was worried it wouldn't be enough!
Actually, compared to a table full of delicacies, her steamed pork ribs with rice flour was just an inconspicuous home-style dish.
She never thought her cooking skills could compare to those of a master chef.
However, watching Lu Junyan and Lu Lifeng eagerly eating the dishes she had made, she felt a strange sense of warmth in her heart.
After a satisfying meal, Jiang Ning was playing with Xiao Man when Chu Yao suddenly called him aside for a private talk.
