Chapter 136 I sent you the divorce papers
Pretending to be young.
Mo Yan was startled.
He never imagined he would evaluate Chu Qingxue in this way.
"Mo Yan, don't just stare at me!"
Chu Qingxue tugged at Mo Yan's sleeve and acted coquettishly.
Mo Yan snapped out of his daze and asked Chu Qingxue, "I do know Miranda. What do you want?"
"I'd like Miranda to take my picture too, I'd like to be in a magazine... I wonder if that's possible?"
Chu Qingxue became less and less confident as she spoke.
She did it on purpose.
She knew that Mo Yan liked girls who showed vulnerability.
Why didn't you ask Lu Junyan for help?
Chu Qingxue raised her head and looked at Mo Yan with some surprise.
She always felt that Mo Yan was different from before.
The Mo Yan of the past wouldn't have asked her so many unnecessary questions.
He would take the initiative to do anything to help her, whenever she wanted or needed it.
"I...I want to try to rely on you...is that not allowed?"
Chu Qingxue blinked her big, watery eyes at Mo Yan.
"Of course."
Seeing that Mo Yan had relented, Chu Qingxue breathed a sigh of relief.
The reason she didn't go to Lu Junyan was because she had already done so once before.
At that time, Lu Junyan introduced her to Miranda, but Miranda didn't like her.
If she were to beg Lu Junyan again, it would be clear that she was unwilling to let only Jiang Ning appear in the magazine.
Moreover, it would leave Lu Junyan with the impression that she was not only inferior to Jiang Ning, but also a sore loser.
So she came to find Mo Yan, hoping that as long as she also appeared on "Radiance" by then, Jiang Ning would be nothing special in Lu Junyan's eyes.
Mo Yan was a man of his word; after promising Chu Qingxue, he went to find Miranda.
Chu Qingxue didn't know what Mo Yan had said to Miranda, but at least a makeup artist came to her to do her hair and makeup.
When Jiang Ning came out of the dressing room, Lu Junyan also came out.
The two met face to face.
Jiang Ning noticed that Lu Junyan's clothes and her new outfit seemed to be matching couple outfits.
They were shooting for "Radiance" magazine, and everything had to be arranged by Miranda, so Jiang Ning didn't say much.
The two were asked to stand together by the photographers and videographers, and the poses they struck became increasingly intimate.
After filming, Jiang Ning hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking Lu Junyan:
How's the injury on your arm?
Lu Junyan looked at Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning rarely wore heavy makeup, which was something Lu Junyan usually hated. However, incredibly, Jiang Ning's makeup didn't look vulgar at all; instead, it looked incredibly cool and sophisticated.
"Miranda's makeup artists are quite skilled."
Lu Junyan's seemingly random remark left Jiang Ning completely bewildered.
"The injury is much better, thanks to your timely treatment."
"So...did you go to the hospital to see a doctor later?"
Lu Junyan chuckled softly.
"I am truly flattered by your concern for me."
Jiang Ning then realized that he had asked too many questions.
Given her impending divorce from Lu Junyan, her current concern is completely unnecessary.
At this moment, Chu Qingxue walked out of the dressing room, head held high and chest out.
Jiang Ning noticed that Chu Qingxue glanced at her as she passed by, her eyes filled with confidence and smugness.
It was as if it were saying to her: See? I'm going to be shooting for a magazine too.
Jiang Ning shrugged.
She knew it was an honor to be featured in Radiance magazine, but she didn't think there was anything to brag about.
Lu Junyan was waiting for Chu Qingxue to finish filming, so Jiang Ning left the studio first.
Mo Yan offered to treat Jiang Ning to dinner.
Jiang Ning agreed, but Gu Qian had to come along.
And so, Jiang Ning, Gu Qian, and Mo Yan had a meal together, and afterwards the three of them strolled around the nearby attractions.
In the photography studio, Lu Junyan patiently waited for Chu Qingxue to finish her shoot.
Chu Qingxue's makeup and styling were also done by Miranda's makeup artist.
"It seems...it's not entirely due to the makeup artist's skill..."
Lu Junyan, who was flipping through a magazine, glanced at Chu Qingxue, who was posing seductively in front of the camera, and muttered to himself indifferently.
For the next two days, Mo Yan became an assistant to Jiang Ning, just like Gu Qian.
Because the last two days of LD Jewelry Fashion Week are for business negotiations.
As the owner of a jewelry design studio and also the designer himself, Jiang Ning needs to personally handle every business negotiation.
After returning to China, Jiang Ning was still busy.
This trip to LD Jewelry Fashion Week was well worth it; Jiangning gained a great reputation and a large number of orders.
Two weeks later, the latest issue of "Radiance" magazine was released.
Jiang Ning had always been aware of Miranda and Radiance's industry standing, and she had assumed that her photos would only be placed in an inconspicuous corner.
However, to everyone's surprise, the cover of the latest issue of "Radiance" magazine featured a photo of her and Lu Junyan.
Lu Junyan is a high-profile business tycoon.
Even though Lu Junyan is a low-key person, as long as he doesn't refuse to be exposed to the public, his face will appear in the public eye.
With money and good looks, he was destined to never be low-key.
As an up-and-coming designer, Jiang Ning is able to take a photo with such a big name and even appear on the cover of "Radiance." Even if she designs a bunch of garbage, she will still become famous.
Not to mention, Jiang Ning's design wasn't garbage.
Her feature was placed on the most prominent page of the magazine by Miranda.
Compared to her personal photos, the photos of her Thorn Rose jewelry collection are more eye-catching, even serving as the header image for the entire LD Jewelry Fashion Week feature.
With the release of "Radiance" magazine, the butterfly effect began to emerge.
More and more luxury goods buyers are approaching Jiangning, and there are also cross-industry collaborations with high-end luxury brands.
Online, fashion bloggers and well-known live streamers have also taken advantage of Jiangning's popularity, which in turn has helped Jiangning further expand its influence.
Pete, in his capacity as FY's executive director, also approached Jiang Ning to discuss cooperation.
For a time, Jiang Ning was extremely busy.
Jiang Ning didn't remember how much time had passed since she returned from F country when she suddenly received a phone call one day.
"Hello, this is J-Studio."
Jiang Ning was completely unaware that it was a private call when he answered it.
They didn't even notice that the call was from Lu Junyan.
Lu Junyan on the other end of the phone fell into a brief silence.
"It's me."
Jiang Ning's heart skipped a beat.
It wasn't until she heard Lu Junyan's voice that she remembered she and Lu Junyan still had a half-resolved divorce issue to deal with.
"Is the divorce agreement ready?"
Jiang Ning took the initiative to ask.
"Um."
Silence fell again on the other end of the line. After a moment, she heard Lu Junyan continue:
"I thought you would call to ask me about the divorce papers first..."
"Sorry, I've been too busy since I got back from F country."
"So busy you forgot to divorce me?"
Hearing Lu Junyan's light chuckle, Jiang Ning felt uneasy.
She thought that Lu Junyan must have misunderstood and thought she didn't want to divorce him.
At first, Lu Junyan did have this thought, but he quickly realized—
Jiang Ning didn't not want to divorce him.
For Jiang Ning now, however, career matters far more than divorce.
It's far better than divorcing him.
It is far greater than him.
Just as Jiang Ning was about to explain, Lu Junyan's voice came through the receiver again.
His voice became much colder.
"I sent you the divorce agreement. It should have arrived by now. Please check your mail."
"good."
Lu Junyan hung up the phone first. Jiang Ning looked up, just as the deliveryman knocked on the office door.
"Jiangning, your package is here."
