Chapter 281 Best Friend and Her Boyfriend's Intimate Relationship
After Attorney Yao left, the ward was so quiet that Xiao Zhang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead several times.
Given how attentive Lu Junyan was to Chu Qingxue back then, it was actually quite sufficient proof that their marital relationship had broken down.
However, if this divorce case were to be fought in Country A, it would be difficult for any judge to rule in Jiang Ning's favor.
Xiao Zhang felt that Lu Junyan was never afraid of divorce proceedings precisely because he had the confidence to back it up.
This time, however, Jiang Ning chose to file a lawsuit in Country C.
In this case, Lu Junyan is bound to lose.
If that's the case, it would be better to sign the divorce agreement; it would be better for both Lu Junyan and the Lu family.
Xiao Zhang stared at Lu Junyan, whose expression was stern, and opened his mouth several times, but then stopped himself from speaking.
He actually wanted to persuade Lu Junyan to sign the document!
Otherwise, if things escalate to the point of divorce proceedings, Lu Junyan will still be unable to get what he wants.
If only I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place.
He dared not say this to Lu Junyan.
After a very long silence, Lu Junyan closed the divorce agreement.
"Xiao Zhang..."
Coming to his senses, Xiao Zhang respectfully said to Lu Junyan, "Please give your instructions, Mr. Lu."
"Check how Jiang Ning got in touch with Attorney Yao."
"Yes, Mr. Lu."
Xiao Zhang left, and now Lu Junyan was the only one left in the ward.
He took out his phone to see the online reactions to Jiang Ning's public announcement of her divorce.
Most netizens are on Jiangning's side.
Because he and Chu Qingxue were so deeply intertwined before, and Chu Qingxue's downfall was so dramatic, netizens generally believed that Jiang Ning divorced him because of his extramarital affair.
Lu Junyan could have had his public relations team handle these comments.
However, he did not.
Thinking back to how Chu Qingxue had schemed against Jiang Ning several times, causing Jiang Ning to be cyberbullied, Lu Junyan felt that the current criticism against him was nothing at all.
The weekend arrived as scheduled.
At the entrance of the amusement park, Jiang Ning arrived fifteen minutes early and found that Gu Jinci was already waiting for them.
Today, Gu Jinci changed his usual elite image as a genetics expert, and put on a casual sportswear outfit. His youthful baby face looked even younger, with the air of a college student fresh out of school. He looked very clean and comfortable.
Gu Jinci has delicate features and gives the impression of being a pure person, but his unfathomable eyes make him hard to understand.
That's why it has an indescribable sense of mystery.
Jiang Ning thought that it was probably this sense of mystery that attracted Gu Lanlan!
"You're here really early."
Jiang Ning walked over and said.
"Didn't you pick up Lanlan together?"
Gu Jinci was slightly taken aback, and replied, "She said it would be a detour for me to pick her up, and it would be more convenient for her to drive over directly."
"I see..."
Jiang Ning observed Gu Jinci discreetly.
Logically speaking, although it was a date for four people, Gu Jinci and Gu Lanlan were lovers, unlike her and Bai Yichen who were just friends.
Gu Jinci should have picked up Gu Lanlan so the two of them could go to the amusement park together.
However, Gu Jinci didn't seem to be lying, and choosing to drive himself for convenience was also in line with Gu Lanlan's style.
Not long after, Gu Lanlan arrived and parked her car in the parking lot opposite the amusement park.
As she crossed the street, she saw Gu Jinci and Jiang Ning already standing at the entrance of the amusement park.
Just as Gu Lanlan was about to reach out to call them, she suddenly saw Jiang Ning take the initiative to hug Gu Jinci.
The hand that was about to be raised froze in mid-air.
In front of the amusement park.
Jiang Ning helped Gu Jinci, who was swaying precariously.
Are you alright?
"It's nothing... I guess I've been working too hard lately and my blood sugar is low?"
Gu Jinci frowned, looking dizzy, and his entire weight was leaning on Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning couldn't hold on any longer, so she moved closer to Gu Jinci.
From Gu Lanlan's perspective, it looked like Jiang Ning was throwing herself into Gu Jinci's arms, actively offering herself to him.
If someone hadn't honked their horn, Gu Lanlan would still be standing blankly in the middle of the road.
By the time Gu Lanlan walked over, Jiang Ning and Gu Jinci had already parted ways.
“Lanlan…”
Jiang Ning took the initiative to greet Gu Lanlan, but Gu Lanlan ignored her and looked at Gu Jinci instead.
Gu Jinci's smile was somewhat awkward, and her gaze was also somewhat evasive.
Gu Lanlan already felt uneasy about seeing her best friend and her boyfriend behaving intimately, and now Gu Jinci's reaction seemed to be telling her that what she had just witnessed was not a misunderstanding.
Bai Yichen was the last to arrive because he had gone back to his workplace first.
"Sorry I'm late..."
As soon as Bai Yichen finished speaking, he noticed that the atmosphere between Jiang Ning, Gu Lanlan, and Gu Jinci was a bit strange.
"What's wrong, Lanlan? Why are you angry? Are you upset that I'm late?"
Bai Yichen approached Gu Lanlan.
Gu Lanlan seemed very abnormal. In the past, when the three of them went out to play, Gu Lanlan was always the most excited and the most talkative.
"nothing……"
After Gu Lanlan finished speaking, she glanced at Jiang Ning and then took Gu Jinci's arm.
"Let's go inside!"
Gu Lanlan and Gu Jinci walked in front, while Jiang Ning and Bai Yichen walked behind.
Bai Yichen asked Jiang Ning in a low voice:
"What's wrong with Lanlan? She seems unhappy."
"I don't know either……"
Jiang Ning shook his head, completely bewildered.
"Lanlan had a stern face as soon as she arrived."
Bai Yichen frowned slightly, seemingly lost in thought.
The four of them entered the amusement park one after another. The awkward atmosphere gradually eased as they played on the rides, and Gu Lanlan put her worries to the back of her mind.
Jiang Ning and Bai Yichen observed Gu Jinci discreetly.
Gu Jinci takes good care of Gu Lanlan and is a gentleman and considerate person.
Before we knew it, everyone was tired of playing and wanted to find something gentler to do.
"Ah Ning, Ah Ning, shall we go to the haunted house together?"
Gu Lanlan offered a brilliant suggestion with a radiant smile.
"Haunted house..."
Gu Jinci, standing next to him, was clearly having second thoughts.
"I'll pass on the haunted house..."
"A grown man like you wouldn't be afraid to go into a haunted house, would you?"
Bai Yichen narrowed his eyes and smiled like a cunning fox.
"Dr. Bai looks so refined, but he's actually quite bold?" Gu Jinci asked, both amused and exasperated.
"Refined manners have nothing to do with courage, do they? Mr. Gu doesn't seem like someone who's afraid of ghosts!"
Gu Jinci shook her head repeatedly, "I can't, I'm a coward, I'm afraid of ghosts, insects, and blood..."
"How about...we play something else?"
Gu Lanlan realized that her suggestion had put Gu Jinci in a difficult position.
Gu Jinci came to Gu Lanlan's side and whispered in her ear, "Lanlan, I just want you to know... I'm afraid of going into haunted houses, but I'm willing to muster up my courage to be with you."
After saying that, he took Gu Lanlan's hand and was the first to enter the haunted house.
Bai Yichen and Jiang Ning followed closely behind.
"It looks alright?"
Jiang Ning glanced at Bai Yichen.
You mean Gu Jinci?
"Um."
"It's too early to say..."
"I think you're too demanding, Aning."
Seeing the bitter smile on Bai Yichen's face, Jiang Ning shook his head.
“I have high standards for Lanlan’s partner.”
The four entered the haunted house.
This amusement park only has one haunted house, which combines a haunted house with an escape room. It's very large, like a maze.
Jiang Ning, Bai Yichen, Gu Lanlan, and Gu Jinci were walking together at first, but as they walked, they somehow stepped on some kind of trap, and Jiang Ning and Gu Jinci were locked in a room alone.
