Chapter 272 I Want to Marry Him
"Look at Miss Wanrong, how elegant she is..."
Praised by Yang Liyun, Lin Wanrong's face lit up with a confident smile.
Those who come to dine at the top of the clouds are all wealthy and powerful, so she naturally has to dress luxuriously to outshine everyone else.
The smile on Lin Wanrong's face gradually faded when her gaze fell on the next table.
She felt she was the most glamorous person in the entire restaurant tonight, but Lu Junyan didn't even glance at her once.
A hint of dissatisfaction flashed in Lin Wanrong's eyes.
Originally, Yang Liyun thought that by slandering Jiang Ning and elevating Lin Wanrong, she could win the favor of Lin Yueheng and Chu Yao.
However, both Lin Yueheng and Chu Yao's faces looked as if they had been smeared with soot.
"Ms. Jiang is wearing LV's latest flat shoes this season, which are limited to five pairs worldwide."
After Chu Yao finished speaking, Yang Liyun was stunned for a moment.
"LV's design philosophy in the past two years has been to combine comfort and fashion. These flat shoes were paired with a black evening gown when they were launched at Fashion Week."
"...Ah...so that's how it is..."
Yang Liyun awkwardly twitched the corner of her mouth.
Why does Chu Yao's statement sound like she's mocking her for being uncultured?
In fact, Jiang Ning did not pay attention to brands when choosing clothes.
She simply chose her favorite color, style, and level of comfort, nothing more.
The resulting outfit was just as good as the one shown by the models at Fashion Week.
"Madam Lu seems quite dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law?"
Yang Liyun was taken aback when she suddenly heard Lin Yueheng ask this question.
“That’s far from satisfactory,” Yang Liyun said decisively. “If Jiang Ning hadn’t saved Junyan back then, and the old man hadn’t insisted that Junyan repay the debt of gratitude, I would never have allowed Jiang Ning into our Lu family.”
"She came from a very poor background, had only one mother, and suffered from Alzheimer's... She used to be quite well-behaved, a full-time housewife who never showed her face in public... But then I don't know what got into her, she insisted on going to work, claiming to be a jewelry design master, but she was really just a socialite, and she brought a lot of shame to our Lu family..."
While Yang Liyun was complaining to herself, Lu Yexiong cleared his throat several times.
Finally, Lu Yexiong couldn't hold back any longer and directly retorted to Yang Liyun:
"Say less."
Yang Liyun didn't understand why Lu Yexiong was stopping her.
She was eager to say a few bad things about Jiang Ning in front of Lin Yueheng and Chu Yao, so that Lin Yueheng and Chu Yao would believe that Jiang Ning would soon be kicked out of the Lu family.
However, Lu Yexiong was better at reading people than Yang Liyun.
He noticed that every time Yang Liyun spoke ill of Jiang Ning, Lin Yueheng and Chu Yao's expressions would turn ugly, as if they couldn't bear to hear Jiang Ning being spoken ill of.
Lu Yexiong had some doubts.
Logically speaking, Jiang Ning and the Lin family should have no connection whatsoever.
Jiang Ning lives in country A, while the Lin family is a source of capital in country C.
The two sides met formally for the first time at that charity gala.
Could it be that Minister Lin and his wife hit it off with Jiang Ning at first sight?
Lu Yexiong couldn't understand it.
However, the most important thing right now is to salvage the marriage alliance with the Lin family.
"Minister Lin, Junyan's marital status was an oversight on our part... We didn't mean to lie, we were simply unaware of it... But rest assured, Junyan will divorce Jiang Ning soon..."
There's no need for a divorce.
Lin Yueheng took a sip of red wine and said calmly, "I appreciate Mr. Lu's kindness, but I will not allow Wanrong to marry into the Lu family, so your son does not need to divorce Miss Jiang."
"this……"
Lu Yexiong and Yang Liyun exchanged a glance, their impatience and disappointment clearly visible.
At this moment, Lin Wanrong, who had been eating quietly, suddenly spoke up:
"Dad... I like Lu Junyan."
Lin Yueheng and Chu Yao's expressions changed drastically.
Lin Wanrong raised her head and looked at her adoptive parents.
"Dad, Mom, didn't Grandpa say he hoped I would marry someone I like? I like Lu Junyan, and I want to marry him."
Lin Wanrong, who said this, did not blush, nor did she show any embarrassment on her face.
It was as if she wasn't expressing her feelings or emotions at that moment, but simply discussing a business deal.
Lin Yueheng and Chu Yao fell silent.
Upon hearing Lin Wanrong's words, Lu Yexiong and Yang Liyun's eyes lit up like light bulbs.
"Oh, as expected of Miss Wanrong, you have excellent taste. Our Junyan is the most outstanding among young talents."
“It’s rare that Miss Wanrong likes Junyan. Minister Lin, I guarantee that Junyan and Jiang Ning will get a divorce within three days.”
As Lu Yexiong made his solemn promise, Lin Wanrong subtly curled her fiery red lips.
Lin Yueheng and Chu Yao had the worst expressions.
"Mr. Lu, there's no need to be in such a hurry. Marriage is a serious matter and should not be taken lightly."
After saying that, Lin Yueheng buried his head in his food, his brows furrowed.
Chu Yao's gaze kept drifting to the next table and then to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning wasn't unaware that Chu Yao was watching her.
But she ignored it.
Across from him, Lu Junyan felt as if his throat was filled with sulfuric acid, the burning sensation making his chest very uncomfortable.
He never imagined that winning a woman back would be so difficult.
Has he lost his charm?
Is he untrustworthy?
Or is it...?
Did he hurt Jiang Ning too deeply?
Lu Junyan cut a piece of steak and stuffed it into his mouth, but found it tasteless.
Suddenly, the pitch-black night sky outside the window exploded.
"Someone set off fireworks."
The colorful fireworks twinkled incessantly in the night sky, as beautiful and moving as countless dancers gracefully taking flight.
Jiang Ning turned his head to look out the glass window, his pupils shimmering like neon lights.
She knew that Lu Junyan had prepared this for her.
After the dazzling fireworks display, countless drones, flashing colorful lights, began their performance in the night sky.
Ultimately, these drones formed a sentence:
Jiang Ning, please forgive me.
Jiang Ning calmly sipped her champagne, drawing the attention of many people in the restaurant.
Although Jiang Ning is not a big star known to everyone, as a BYC master, her face is not unfamiliar to the upper class.
So many people here know that this drone light and fireworks show was specially arranged by Lu Junyan for her.
Lu Junyan silently watched Jiang Ning.
Even after enjoying the romantic performance, Jiang Ning showed no reaction, but instead ate all the food on his plate with relish.
"You can order more if it's not enough."
Lu Junyan handed the menu to Jiang Ning.
"I'd like to order omelet rice."
Omelette rice wasn't on the menu, but Lu Junyan still called over a waiter and asked the chef to make a special omelette rice for Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning didn't eat it, but instead squeezed some ketchup onto the omelet rice and handed it to Lu Junyan.
The three blood-red words "Impossible" were reflected in Lu Junyan's eyes.
Lu Junyan's heart sank suddenly.
This is Jiangning's response to the drone light and fireworks show—
My reply to him.
Across from him, Jiang Ning wiped his mouth and stood up.
"Thank you for the dinner... but it still can't compare to what Bai Yichen arranged back then."
Lu Junyan's already slumped heart was squeezed again.
The reason he chose to apologize to Jiang Ning from the top of the clouds with a drone light and fireworks show was precisely to wash away the romance that Bai Yichen had created for Jiang Ning, so that that romance would no longer be the only one.
result……
Is he still not as good as Jiang Ning in his heart?
Lu Junyan suddenly felt his vision go black.
"You don't need to take me back. I've asked Bai Yichen to pick me up. He's already here."
After saying that, Jiang Ning turned around and left the cloud peak without looking back.
Lu Junyan hesitated for only a second before standing up abruptly.
He's going to chase after Jiang Ning!
However, just as he took a step, someone suddenly grabbed his arm from behind.
Lu Junyan turned his head and saw Lin Wanrong with a beaming smile.
