Chapter 1 Revenge
Three years into their marriage, tonight was the first time Jiang Ning had turned on the computer in Lu Junyan's study.
If it weren't for an important document that she urgently needed to send, she might never have seen this form in her entire life.
All the folders on Lu Junyan's computer are named with Chinese characters, and you can tell at a glance that they are company projects.
But there's one exception: names with only three letters.
CQX.
Jiang Ning double-clicked the folder purely out of curiosity.
There is only one Excel spreadsheet inside, called—
revenge.
Jiang Ning comes from a single-parent family, and her mother is hospitalized. Considering her circumstances, it's really a case of her marrying up to the son of the listed company Lu Group.
Her encounter with Lu Junyan was like an idol drama, and the subsequent developments were also like an idol drama.
When Lu Junyan was in a car accident, the driver fled the scene. It was she who carried him to the hospital and saved his life.
Then one day, Lu Junyan suddenly appeared at the gate of her university.
That day was Valentine's Day, and Lu Junyan gave her a bouquet of 999 pink roses and proposed to her.
That year, flower prices skyrocketed, and during holidays, a bouquet like this would cost at least tens of thousands of yuan, causing a sensation throughout the school.
Jiang Ning cherished the bouquet and placed it by her bedside, even though it ended up in the hospital.
Jiangning pollen allergy.
However, she never told Lu Junyan, so every time they went on a date, Lu Junyan would give her a bouquet of pink roses.
Before graduating from university, Jiang Ning married Lu Junyan and became a housewife.
Lu Junyan is busy with work and needs a woman who can take care of the household chores wholeheartedly.
Her mother-in-law also said that Lu Junyan had a stomach problem and that eating home-cooked food was healthier. She also said that a nanny is ultimately an outsider and cannot replace a wife. A wife's duty is to manage the household, support her husband, and raise the children, and so on.
Jiang Ning cooks, washes clothes, and does housework during the day, and spends her evenings with Lu Junyan in their marital life.
The two didn't have much interaction.
The form in front of her seemed to be a window into understanding Lu Junyan. Jiang Ning opened the form, and a series of photos popped up.
This table has only two columns, with very little text; it's all photos.
The top of the left column shows the folder name: CQX.
Jiang Ning looked at it countless times but still couldn't guess which three Chinese characters it was.
Fortunately, the letter on the right is easy to guess.
JN——
Jiangning.
My hand holding the mouse trembled slightly.
Both columns recorded the time and included photos.
The photos in the CQX column all feature the same girl.
In the first picture, a large bouquet of vibrant pink roses, at least nine hundred and ninety-nine, sits at the girl's feet; in the second picture, she seems to be showing off the dazzling diamond necklace around her neck, still holding a bouquet of pink roses in her arms; in the third picture, she is holding a Hermes bag with both hands and smiling brightly, with a bouquet of pink roses on the dining table.
Surrounded by a sea of pink roses, Jiang Ning looked toward the row on her right.
The photos inside are all of herself.
In the first photo, Jiang Ning also has a large bouquet of pink roses in front of her, exactly the same as the one on the left.
The second picture shows an identical diamond necklace and pink roses.
The third picture shows an identical Hermès bag with pink roses.
The fourth, the fifth, the sixth...
The table finally came to an end when the girl in the left photo was holding pink roses and wearing a pink diamond ring on her left ring finger, and on the right, on the same day, Jiang Ning was proposed to by Lu Junyan with a pink diamond ring from a pink rose.
Jiang Ning silently shut down the computer, as if he had understood something.
She had always thought that Lu Junyan liked pink roses, which was why he always gave them to her.
Although Lu Junyan had never worn anything pink, she still felt that she had discovered Lu Junyan's little secret and was excited about it for several days.
turn out to be……
The girl in the table is the one who likes pink roses.
That night, Jiang Ning couldn't sleep a wink.
Lu Junyan didn't come back tonight because he had to stay up all night discussing a project with someone from the US. However, Lu Junyan said it wouldn't affect his trip to the hospital with her tomorrow.
Jiang Ning has been experiencing a dull ache in her lower abdomen for the past few days, so Lu Junyan arranged an appointment with a specialist for her at 9 a.m. tomorrow.
Actually, tonight's discovery doesn't prove anything.
Even if Lu Junyan pursued her to get revenge on another woman, that was before their marriage.
After marriage, Lu Junyan treated her neither particularly well nor badly, giving her household expenses and pocket money on time every month.
I always give her gifts on holidays or birthdays. This year, I gave her a pink Burberry suit for her birthday, even though she dislikes pink the most.
As the president of the Lu Group, Lu Junyan is always surrounded by beautiful women, but in the three years since he married her, there has never been any scandal.
There was only one time when a marketing account posted a photo of him with a popular actress, and Lu Junyan immediately issued a public relations statement to refute the rumor, and the marketing account was deleted overnight.
Jiang Ning tossed and turned, unable to sleep, trying to convince herself to stop wasting her energy on internal conflicts.
Lu Junyan didn't cheat on her; he just might not love her as much as she imagined.
Her mother used to tell her that marriage is just a compromise, and if she could marry someone she loved, she should cherish that marriage.
Jiang Ning cherishes her marriage very much.
She loves Lu Junyan.
She loved him for ten years, starting when she was thirteen.
Lu Junyan simply didn't know, and still doesn't know.
Picking up her phone, Jiang Ning unlocked a password-protected private photo album that she hadn't opened since her marriage.
There was only one photo in the album. It looked like it was taken in the cafeteria, but the environment and lighting were somewhat oppressive, immediately reminding one of a prison.
The subject of the photo is a little girl. She is very young, only a teenager, and has a full set of braces and a head of big, wavy, granny-gray hair.
Anyone who saw this would probably not recognize that the little girl was Jiang Ning, but they would definitely recognize that the spirited young man in the corner behind was Lu Junyan.
This is the only photo of Jiang Ning and Lu Junyan together.
If we count group photos...
Jiang Ning didn't fall asleep until dawn, and after less than three hours, he was woken up by his alarm clock.
With dark circles under her eyes, she stood at the entrance of the city's central hospital waiting for Lu Junyan. The early spring morning breeze was still quite cool, making her nose run.
At 8:59, Jiang Ning received a WeChat message from Lu Junyan:
The company has an urgent project, so I have to go on a business trip to the US. I can't accompany you. You can go in by yourself. I've already spoken to the experts, and I can go home tonight.
Jiang Ning wrapped her coat tighter around herself and went into the hospital. When she came out, she was holding an ultrasound report in her hand.
It says she was two months pregnant, but it was a threatened miscarriage.
This is Jiang Ning's first pregnancy, and her first child with Lu Junyan.
Jiang Ning touched her belly, her joy evident on her face.
Although the doctor said the threatened miscarriage wasn't very serious, it still required careful efforts to prevent miscarriage.
She took out her phone, intending to tell Lu Junyan the news.
Jiang Ning listened to the dial tone, feeling both excited and nervous.
Lu Junyan... he should be happy, right?
Before last night, Jiang Ning didn't even need to consider this problem.
Finally, the call was connected.
"Hey honey, I..."
"I'm in a meeting, don't bother me unless it's important."
The call was immediately disconnected, leaving only the busy tone echoing in Jiang Ning's ears.
A cool breeze left Jiang Ning feeling empty inside. She took her phone away from her ear, and just then, a news article popped up—
