Chapter 287 Proposing to Her
Lu Junyan held the glass of liquor in one hand, rubbing his thumb against the glass twice.
"Um……"
In the end, he didn't say much, just gave a simple "hmm".
At this moment, there were only these four customers in the izakaya.
Once the four of them fell silent, the izakaya immediately became as quiet as a graveyard.
Yuan Pei and Jiang Ning both drive, and Xiao Zhang is Lu Junyan's driver.
Therefore, of the four people present, only Lu Junyan was drinking.
"It's getting late, so I'll be going now."
Jiang Ning was the first to stand up.
"I send you."
As Yuan Pei said this, Lu Junyan grabbed Jiang Ning's hand.
Lu Junyan's hands were very cold, like a piece of ice stuck to Jiang Ning's hands.
"Couldn't you spend a little more time with me before the divorce?"
Lu Junyan's voice was as calm as ever, but his tone seemed to carry a hint of pleading.
Jiang Ning lowered her eyes and did not look at Lu Junyan.
She didn't understand what Lu Junyan still wanted to salvage at this critical juncture.
Regardless of whether Lu Junyan's feelings for Chu Qingxue were genuine love or just a mistaken and blind first love, from the moment he personally killed their child, their fate was destined to end like this.
When Lu Junyan realized that Jiang Ning was about to pull his hand away, he immediately clenched his fist even tighter.
However, the more Jiang Ning tried to hold on, the faster he pulled his hand away.
In the end, Lu Junyan only managed to grasp a handful of cold air.
Yuan Pei chased after Jiang Ning and left the izakaya.
"Jiang Ning, let me take you there!"
Jiang Ning turned his head.
"No need, I drove here."
“But it’s dangerous for a girl like you to drive home alone in the middle of the night.”
Yuan Pei said in a very serious tone.
Jiang Ning could tell that Yuan Pei genuinely cared about him.
"Thank you, Yuan Pei..."
Seeing Jiang Ning's grateful smile, Yuan Pei blushed and scratched the back of his head sheepishly.
"But I think it's more dangerous for you to drive yourself. Next time, please don't say you'll agree to any request."
After giving Yuan Pei his instructions, Jiang Ning turned and got into his white BMW 3 Series.
As Yuan Pei watched Jiang Ning's car drive away, a warm feeling welled up in his heart.
If Jiang Ning hadn't stood up for him tonight, he probably would have lost all his company's shares.
Recalling Jiang Ning's calm and confident figure, Yuan Pei touched his chest, his heart pounding.
Inside the izakaya, Lu Junyan was drinking alone in silence.
Although the liquor wasn't very strong, Lu Junyan drank a lot of it.
"Mr. Lu, you've had too much to drink."
Xiao Zhang couldn't help but offer some advice.
You should know that doctors forbid Lu Junyan from drinking alcohol.
Lu Junyan already had a stomach problem, and recently he suffered a stomach hemorrhage. He had just recovered from a serious illness and was not even ready to be discharged from the hospital, but now he was drinking heavily again.
“Mr. Lu, even if you torture yourself like this, Miss Jiang won’t turn back…”
In his haste, Xiao Zhang blurted out, and the next second, he was glared at fiercely by Lu Junyan.
Lu Junyan knew perfectly well that Xiao Zhang was telling the truth.
But he doesn't want to hear the truth right now.
Lu Junyan spent the night at the izakaya and received a call from his father the next day.
Are you currently in Country C?
"yes."
"That's perfect... Your mom and I will be there in a bit."
Lu Junyan frowned as he listened to Lu Yexiong's words.
"Next month is Wanrong's birthday. There's a jewelry auction at the Mingruide Hotel in Country C today. Go and bid on a piece of jewelry as a birthday gift for Wanrong... Do you understand?"
Lu Yexiong gave orders in a condescending manner, but Lu Junyan simply hung up the phone.
At the same time, Jiang Ning returned to Country A and was at the Lu Group.
She was checking the accounts, especially the accounts of the executive surnamed Lu.
On the other side, Lu Yexiong brought Yang Liyun to the Mingruide Hotel in Country C.
They breathed a slight sigh of relief when they saw Xiao Zhang arrive at the hotel entrance in his imperial blue Bentley.
"It seems Junyan is still obedient." Yang Liyun said with a smile.
"Hmm... Jiang Ning has publicly stated online that he wants to divorce Junyan. Junyan isn't stupid, so of course he should seize the opportunity to hold onto the Lin family's daughter."
As Lu Yexiong spoke, he led Yang Liyun over.
The four of them entered the auction hall together.
“Junyan, I’ve already inquired about this jewelry auction. There’s a spectacular fancy yellow diamond necklace that’s the grand finale, a whopping 67 carats. It’s a family heirloom from P country. Wanrong is the daughter of the Lin family, and she’s very knowledgeable. Ordinary jewelry will definitely not impress her. So you must snatch this royal heirloom necklace, do you hear me?”
"……good."
Lu Junyan readily agreed.
Ultimately, the royal heirloom 76-carat fancy yellow diamond necklace did indeed end up in Lu Junyan's hands, costing him 70 million US dollars.
After taking a picture of the necklace, Yang Liyun nudged Lu Yexiong with her elbow.
Lu Yexiong cleared his throat and said to Lu Junyan, "When you give Wanrong this birthday gift, she will definitely be very happy. You can take the opportunity to propose to her directly. In this way, we will become in-laws with the Lin family, and then we will be able to get the transnational railway project."
Lu Junyan glanced at Lu Yexiong without showing any emotion, and replied with only one word:
"good."
Seeing that Lu Junyan had agreed, Lu Yexiong and Yang Liyun both breathed a sigh of relief.
In their view, Jiang Ning's public announcement of his divorce from Lu Junyan online just happened to be a boon for them.
Even if Lu Junyan is out of his mind, he wouldn't be so foolish as to ignore the Lin family's daughter and insist on trying to win over Jiang Ning's cold shoulder.
"Junyan, remember this forever..."
As they were about to leave the Mingruide Hotel, Lu Yexiong patted Lu Junyan on the shoulder and said earnestly:
"A man should choose a woman who loves him and who can bring him benefits; only then will he be happy."
Upon hearing Lu Yexiong's words, Lu Junyan smiled slightly, a smile that held a profound meaning.
Lu Yexiong and Yang Liyun did not return to City A immediately, but stayed in Country C to meet with Lin Yueheng and Chu Yao and try to get closer to them.
Lu Junyan did not go back either.
However, Lu Junyan did not meet with Lin Wanrong, nor did Lu Yexiong or Yang Liyun pressure him.
He has now received a summons and a copy of the complaint from the court. Lu Yexiong wants him to stay in Country C to prepare for the divorce proceedings, and ideally, to make Jiang Ning leave with nothing and return all the shares of the Lu Group that he previously acquired.
On the day of the trial, Jiang Ning arrived at the C Country Primary Court with a team of twelve lawyers led by Attorney Yao.
Walking through the courthouse, one feels an overwhelming sense of momentum.
Lu Junyan arrived right on time.
Jiang Ning and Lu Junyan met at the courthouse.
Lu Junyan smiled when he saw Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning, however, opened his eyes wide in surprise.
Lu Junyan was dressed in a suit and tie as always, with one hand in his pocket, exuding an air of elite sophistication from head to toe.
However, he was all alone.
He didn't even bring Xiao Zhang with him.
