Chapter 95 Jumped off the building
Jiang Ning stayed home all day to avoid the storm.
The only news circulating online is that Lu Junyan had an extramarital affair and is currently in divorce proceedings with his wife.
However, the identity of the original wife was not explicitly revealed.
However, the other party even clearly wrote down that Shen Feiyang was the lawyer of his first wife.
Jiang Ning believes that the other party knew that Lu Junyan's wife was her.
Initially, public opinion was directed at Lu Junyan.
But after the initial buzz, new trending topics followed one after another—
Lu Junyan's first wife was unable to have children, so the divorce was the woman's fault?
Was the divorce lawsuit just a pretext? Lu Junyan's wife cheated on him with a male lawyer.
No matter how you look at it, Jiang Ning felt that this trending topic storm was deliberately orchestrated behind the scenes. Going to court at this critical juncture would only result in being caught red-handed by the media reporters who were lying in wait. Therefore, Jiang Ning entrusted Shen Feiyang to request a postponement of the court hearing.
There has been no news from Lu Junyan.
Jiang Ning understood that Lu Junyan hadn't contacted her proactively because he was probably busy dealing with company matters.
This trending topic can be described as the biggest scandal since the establishment of the Lu Group.
Jiang Ning saw online that Lu's Group's stock price plummeted and its market value evaporated on that day, resulting in heavy losses.
The company's subsidiaries began large-scale layoffs, and some employees even committed suicide because they lost their jobs.
Although the police and ambulance arrived early and caught the person with an inflatable rescue cushion when they jumped, the incident did not occur.
However, the other party was still injured, and his mental state was extremely unstable when he was sent to the hospital.
Jiang Ning never expected things to escalate to this point.
She called Shen Feiyang and directly questioned him about whether he had leaked the information.
"Please don't question my professionalism, Ms. Jiang. What benefit would I gain from leaking information about the parties involved and the case? Not to mention, applying for a secret hearing is written into the contract. If I violate the contract, I will not only have to pay a high penalty for breach of contract, but also damage my reputation. I may be a womanizer and have a despicable character, but I'm not stupid. I would never do something that would ruin my own career."
The call was unilaterally hung up by Shen Feiyang.
Jiang Ning could tell that Shen Feiyang was also angry.
She had only managed to get Shen Feiyang to take the case by threatening him, but before the case even started and before she even earned the court fees, she had already gotten herself into a mess.
Holding his phone, Jiang Ning thought Shen Feiyang's words made sense; leaking the court hearing would not benefit Shen Feiyang.
Normally, court hearings are held in public. However, due to Lu Junyan's special status, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble and stabilize the company's stock, both she and Lu Junyan submitted applications to the court for a closed hearing.
The court approved it.
"So who is it? And what is their purpose?"
Jiang Ning muttered to herself, holding her phone and hesitating whether to take the initiative to contact Lu Junyan.
CL Studio.
In the general manager's office.
Chu Qingxue had no appetite all day, keeping a close eye on the Lu Group's activities and online developments.
Back then, she deliberately had Gu Qian persuade Jiang Ning to accept Boss Wang's invitation to a drinking party because Joker told her that the top lawyer Shen Feiyang could be used.
Shen Feiyang is both experienced and renowned in handling divorce cases.
He was also very lecherous.
Chu Qingxue's original plan was to have Jiang Ning get entangled with Shen Feiyang, or vice versa.
Since Jiang Ning wants a divorce, she won't give up Shen Feiyang, her trump card.
And Shen Feiyang will surely be captivated by Jiang Ning's beauty when he sees her.
Regardless of whether anything actually happened between the two, as long as Jiang Ning became Shen Feiyang's client, Lu Junyan would feel disgust and suspicion towards Jiang Ning once he found out.
Furthermore, if the lawsuit were to actually go to court, with Shen Feiyang's professional expertise, Jiang Ning would have an extremely high chance of winning, even against the Lu Group's legal team.
What Chu Qingxue wanted was naturally for Jiang Ning to win.
Because she wanted Lu Junyan and Jiang Ning to divorce, so that Jiang Ning would completely lose her status as Mrs. Lu.
Originally, the situation was still under her control.
However, she learned through the joker that Judge Liu, who was presiding over today's trial, was an old friend of Lu Junyan.
Judge Liu's only son once offended some people abroad, and in the end, Lu Junyan personally intervened to save him, brought him back to China, and handed him over to Judge Liu unharmed.
Judge Liu was therefore deeply grateful to Lu Junyan.
The judge scheduled for today's hearing was not Judge Liu; it was deliberately changed.
The purpose is self-evident.
Chu Qingxue realized that even if Shen Feiyang was eloquent, Judge Liu would not be able to grant Jiang Ning and Lu Junyan a divorce.
Therefore, she had no choice but to take the risk.
She asked Joker to leak the story to social media, and then hire online trolls and streamers to make the matter bigger.
Only if things escalate will Lu Junyan find himself in a difficult situation and be forced to agree to the divorce.
Currently, the Lu Group is in turmoil due to the trending topics, which is indeed a serious blow to the Lu family. However, Chu Qingxue believes that Lu Junyan can turn the tide.
Moreover, if all goes well, Lu Junyan will blame Jiang Ning for the losses suffered by the Lu Group, as will Lu Yexiong and Yang Liyun.
In addition, everyone now knows that Lu Junyan is married, and she and Lu Junyan are always seen together.
So in the eyes of outsiders, she only has two identities: either the legal wife or the mistress.
Lu Junyan felt sorry for her.
She didn't believe that Lu Junyan would remain unmoved if she were wronged and cried in front of him because she was mistaken for a mistress.
Chu Qingxue knew perfectly well that Lu Junyan must still resent her for leaving him to go abroad, which was why, even though he was still very good to her, he was reluctant to marry her.
Lu Junyan's love, Chu Qingxue wants.
Chu Qingxue also wants the title of Mrs. Lu.
The night was deep and dark, like a black cloth that could not be opened.
In late summer and early autumn, a gentle evening breeze blows.
Jiang Ning wrapped her coat tighter around herself.
This was her first time on the rooftop of the Lu Group office building.
It was spacious enough and completely empty.
Besides her...
And Lu Junyan beside her.
The Lu Group building has 80 floors, and the rooftop is decorated with floral sky gardens, so it's worth the view.
But it seems inappropriate at a time when people are already embroiled in divorce proceedings.
Jiang Ning had no idea why Lu Junyan had invited her to a place like this so late at night.
But she still came.
When the two of them rode the elevator up together, Lu Junyan did not say a word.
This includes them taking the stairs to the rooftop.
Although Lu Junyan remained calm, Jiang Ning could sense that Lu Junyan was angry.
A market value of 80 billion evaporated overnight; no one would be happy about that.
Once on the rooftop, Lu Junyan didn't stop.
He had one hand in his trouser pocket and the other hanging naturally at his sides, looking straight ahead as he walked slowly.
Jiang Ning was confused and subconsciously followed behind Lu Junyan.
She was waiting for Lu Junyan to speak.
Lu Junyan stopped only when he reached the edge of the rooftop.
The Lu Group building is tall enough to offer a commanding view of the entire city, including the brightly lit cityscape of City A.
Jiang Ning looked at Lu Junyan, whose eyes were completely still.
"Did you know that Zhang Jiang jumped from here?"
Jiang Ning was startled, and Lu Junyan, who was next to her, suddenly pushed her.
