Chapter 12 Miss Chu's Boyfriend
Jiang Ning instantly received Lu Junyan's gaze, which contained displeasure, judgment, and disdain.
Before she could speak, Ning Junzhe shouted, "What a wicked person who accuses others first! It's clearly you guys who targeted Teacher Jiang from the very beginning."
"Teacher Jiang?" Lu Junyan pondered these three words with great interest, as if he was more interested in the title than in who bullied whom.
"I thought you were doing cleaning work at the juvenile detention center, I didn't expect you to become a teacher."
Taunted by Lu Junyan, Jiang Ning lost all taste for the sashimi with wasabi she was chewing.
Since Lu Junyan had previously helped her change her start date at the juvenile detention center, it's unlikely he didn't know what job she applied for.
The only possible reason for Lu Junyan to say this on purpose is that he believed Chu Qingxue's best friend's lies and thought that she had bullied Chu Qingxue to tears, so he used this method to vent his anger on Chu Qingxue's behalf.
Jiang Ning tightened his grip on the chopsticks.
Chu Qingxue's table was truly elated by Lu Junyan's arrival, especially Song Lili and Wang Yang.
"I don't know who said that just now, that she has a husband to support her, and that Qingxue can only be envious."
Jiang Ning lowered his head and remained silent after being mocked by Song Lili.
"Oh?" Lu Junyan became interested and turned to ask Jiang Ning, "Did you say you have a husband supporting you?"
Jiang Ning never imagined that the words she used to anger Chu Qingxue would now backfire and hurt her.
Jiang Ning's cheeks grew hotter and hotter, and he wished he could dig a hole in the ground and disappear into it.
"Looks like you're quite proud to have a husband supporting you."
Lu Junyan's lips curled up, and even his mocking smile had an irresistible charm.
Jiang Ning wanted to explain but was at a loss for words. Then Wang Yang said, "If you're so capable, why don't you ask your husband to come and keep you company? Look at Qingxue, she just posted something on her WeChat Moments and President Lu immediately came over. That's what you call true love."
"Alright, Ah Yang, stop talking." Chu Qingxue touched her face.
"You're shy, you're shy," Wang Yang teased.
Just then, someone from the florist delivered a large bouquet of beautifully packaged fresh pink roses.
"Wow!" Song Lili's eyes lit up. "It's the Goddess of the Luo River, Qingxue's favorite."
"I was worried something might have happened to you, so I left in a hurry. I asked Xiao Zhang to order the flowers for me. I didn't expect the florist to deliver them so late."
After hearing Lu Junyan's explanation, Chu Qingxue was moved to tears and placed the large bouquet of pink roses in the spot closest to Jiang Ning.
She did it on purpose.
This way, it can both cover Jiang Ning's face and be used to provoke him.
Jiangning was indeed provoked.
Right next to such a large bouquet of flowers, the fragrance wafted over her, making her sneeze incessantly.
Lu Junyan, who was at the next table, heard Jiang Ning sneeze and felt that Jiang Ning was trying to get his attention in this way, so his smile became even more disdainful.
"Teacher Jiang, have you eaten?"
Upon hearing Ning Junzhe's question, Jiang Ning sniffled and nodded.
"Let's go, let's leave this place."
Without saying a word, Ning Junzhe grabbed Jiang Ning's hand and pulled her out of the store.
Lu Junyan's deep and sharp gaze moved from the backs of the two people to Jiang Ning's hand, which was being held firmly by Ning Junzhe, while his own hand holding the teacup tightened more and more.
"Junyan?"
Chu Qingxue was sitting next to Lu Junyan and naturally noticed Lu Junyan's knuckles gradually turning white.
She calmly turned on her phone and sent a WeChat message to someone.
Outside the store, after being held by Ning Junzhe's hand for a long distance, Jiang Ning finally pulled her hand away.
"What's wrong with you?" Jiang Ning thought Ning Junzhe was acting strangely.
"You're asking me what's wrong?" Ning Junzhe said, hands on his hips, looking helpless. "Are you allergic to pollen?"
Jiang Ning was taken aback, and asked in surprise, "How did you know?"
"Ever since that bouquet of roses arrived, you've been sneezing nonstop. Even a blind person could see that!"
Jiang Ning chuckled to himself.
She was touched by Ning Junzhe's thoughtfulness and consideration, but also felt regretful for her past romantic blindness.
Ning Junzhe said that even a blind person could see that she was allergic to pollen, but for more than three years from when she started dating to when she got married, Lu Junyan not only didn't know, but he also gave her pink roses every time they met without fail.
It's because Chu Qingxue likes it.
It was because he was used to sending gifts to Chu Qingxue.
Despite the sweltering heat, Jiang Ning couldn't help but shiver.
Lu Junyan isn't blind; he just doesn't love.
But she's the one who's truly blind.
Seeing that Jiang Ning's face was extremely pale, as if she was about to cry, Ning Junzhe was at a loss for what to do.
"You...you...is your allergy that severe? Are you still feeling very uncomfortable?"
Jiang Ning snapped out of her daze and shook her head. "No, I'm not feeling bad anymore..."
Even if it's uncomfortable, it's not my nose that's uncomfortable.
Ning Junzhe and Jiang Ning were taking a walk along a tree-lined path. Because Jiang Ning was allergic to pollen, he deliberately chose a path with only trees and no flowers.
Jiang Ning was very grateful for Ning Junzhe's thoughtfulness.
"Although I shouldn't pry into your privacy... I am indeed quite curious, what is your relationship with that man at the restaurant?"
Ning Junzhe asked cautiously, afraid of displeasing Jiang Ning.
"Is he that Miss Chu's boyfriend?"
"He is my husband."
Time seemed to freeze for three seconds when Jiang Ning heard a deafening "Ah?"
Seeing that Ning Junzhe was genuinely surprised, Jiang Ning smiled wryly.
"Even you think Lu Junyan is more like Chu Qingxue's boyfriend, right?"
This is something even a blind person could see.
Ning Junzhe remained silent, afraid of saying the wrong thing.
Jiang Ning opened and closed his mouth repeatedly, as if he had a thousand words to say, but he couldn't express them clearly or say them out loud.
In the end, she only told Ning Junzhe that she had already filed for divorce from Lu Junyan, but Lu Junyan tore up the divorce agreement when it reached his hands.
"What was he thinking? Why wouldn't he divorce you but cheat on you with that Miss Chu every day? He's a complete pervert and a scumbag." Ning Junzhe felt sorry for Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning also didn't understand what Lu Junyan was thinking.
She once thought she knew Lu Junyan very well, but after experiencing that form, Chu Qingxue's return to China, and her pregnancy and miscarriage, she realized that she may never have truly known Lu Junyan.
"I don't know anymore. All I want right now is a divorce. I just want to get a divorce..."
Ning Junzhe saw that Jiang Ning was really troubled, so he took out his phone and contacted someone he hadn't contacted in years.
"Wait a moment, I'll ask for you."
Jiang Ning tilted her head and looked at Ning Junzhe in confusion, only to see Ning Junzhe looking down at his phone and then suddenly snapping his fingers after a while.
"It's settled. Wait for my news tomorrow. I know someone at the court. I've arranged to meet with them tomorrow to discuss things. Your situation shouldn't be too difficult to handle."
"Thank you so much, but..."
Jiang Ning appreciated Ning Junzhe's good intentions, but she also had her concerns.
