Chapter 149 The Disliked Wife 3
Afterwards, the original owner's father resigned and went to work for a medium-sized company. He was good at his job and was also quite tactful. He quickly rose to the position of company supervisor and earned hundreds of thousands or even millions of yuan every year.
The original owner's mother owned a boutique supermarket in an upscale residential area and earned a considerable amount of money each year, so raising two children was not a problem at all, and both of them attended prestigious private schools.
Xu Chengjun was a good student and was admitted to a top university in China through the college entrance examination. He lived on campus and the original owner of this body rarely had the opportunity to meet him, let alone communicate with him.
But the original owner knew that this adoptive brother respected her parents very much, even more than she, his biological daughter. He would bring them very valuable gifts when he came home and would also send them living expenses every month.
The original owner was also given an apartment as a wedding gift.
Unfortunately, the original owner was content with her husband and paid little attention to this adoptive brother. She only knew that Xu Chengjun seemed to be starting a business with his classmates, but she knew nothing about the details.
How could someone who can earn a PhD in finance and start a business in their junior year of college be a simple person?
An adopted brother is still a brother; if a sister has a problem, who else can she turn to if not her brother?
It was almost noon when Ning Yan got through on the phone, and Xu Chengjun gave her an address—a Western restaurant.
"The seats are reserved. If you arrive first, please wait for me."
Ning Yan agreed.
She took a taxi to the restaurant, told the waiter she had booked a private room, and he led her into the room.
About ten minutes later, Xu Chengjun arrived late.
He must be about 1.9 meters tall. A sharp black suit made him look exceptionally stylish. A pair of gold-rimmed glasses sat on his high nose, the non-prescription glasses concealing the sharp glint in his eyes. His tightly pursed thin lips gave him an unapproachable air.
"Have you been waiting long? Have you ordered yet?"
This was the first time his adopted sister had taken the initiative to contact him, and to be honest, he found it quite strange.
Ning Yan smiled at him, "I ordered for myself. I didn't know what you wanted to eat, so I didn't order for you."
The main reason she didn't make a decision was that she didn't know what other people liked to eat.
Perhaps because the two weren't very familiar with each other, or perhaps it was just their personalities, Xu Chengjun placed his bag on the chair next to him after sitting down and ordered his food. Only after the waiter left did he ask, "What brings you here today?"
Ning Yan handed the divorce certificate to Xu Chengjun for a glance, and then explained the reasons for their divorce.
Xu Chengjun: ...This adopted sister has never talked to him this much before.
Do your uncle and aunt know?
Ning Yan shook her head: "I haven't told them yet. I called my brother first."
The elderly couple adored Su Xingxing's grandson, and if they knew she had given the child to Su Yun, they would definitely be angry with her.
I told Xu Chengjun about this so that I could speak up for her when she was being criticized.
Xu Chengjun: ...She calls me "brother" so affectionately, this girl seems different from before.
She could even abandon her own son; she never used to be so decisive.
"You really don't plan to remarry Su Yun? Didn't you say he was your true love?"
When the two got married, her family did try to dissuade her. The Su family was of modest means and couldn't even afford a wedding house, but the original owner was stubborn and insisted on marrying him.
The Ning family elders felt that apart from being poor, Su Yun was decent in appearance and education. They weren't being nosy, and since their family was well-off, they could simply help him out a bit more.
He then agreed to their marriage.
Actually, saying "agree" is not quite right; it's just the parents compromising with their child. Their daughter is stubborn; if they didn't compromise, would they beat her to death?
Later, when Su Yun started her own business, Xu Chengjun and Ning's parents told her to remind the original owner that since she had invested money, she should get shares in the company when it was established.
The original owner told her parents that Su Yun was her true love, and that a married couple shouldn't be calculating and scheming all the time.
She wants shares if Su Yun gives them to her in the future, and she wants her money back if Su Yun returns it.
Finally, Su Yun returned the money to her.
Xu Chengjun was certain that Su Yun was unreliable at that time, and he reminded the original owner of this body through Ning's parents, but she wouldn't listen.
She believes that even if she doesn't get shares, the company is still their marital property and won't affect her much.
In short, the original owner was a naive and love-struck fool; otherwise, she wouldn't have ended up being betrayed by her husband and son and ultimately losing her life.
Ning Yan felt no embarrassment at having her past exposed, since it wasn't her in the other person's shoes. "What she said was true when she said it, and what she broke up with was also true when they broke up."
"Then what is your purpose in contacting me?"
Ning Yan: "I'd like to ask my brother for a favor."
Just then, the waiter came to serve the dishes, and Ning Yan stopped talking. After the dishes were served, the waiter left and closed the door, Xu Chengjun raised his chin, signaling her to continue.
Ning Yan took a sip of red wine, lightly licked the wine stains off her lips with the tip of her tongue, and a faint blush appeared on her pretty face, like a rosebud just beginning to bloom, extremely beautiful.
Xu Chengjun, sitting opposite him, couldn't help but take another look.
“I’m sure there are a lot of outstanding men around my brother. I’d like him to introduce me to one. I plan to remarry within a month.”
As her voice faded, the wine glass made a soft sound as it was placed on the table.
Xu Chengjun naturally withdrew his gaze, lowering his eyes to conceal the darkness within.
"So rushed? A month isn't even enough time to get to know each other."
"It doesn't matter, it's not too late to get to know each other after marriage."
Xu Chengjun continued cutting the steak on his plate. "Nonsense, what do you take marriage for?"
"I don't want this either, but I only have one month. Where am I supposed to find a familiar man to marry?"
Besides, isn't this because I trust my brother?
My brother will definitely find me a man who is good in every way—character, ability, and personality, right?
Xu Chengjun's movements finally paused for a moment. He looked at Ning Yan meaningfully and said, "How come I never realized you trusted me so much before?"
Ning Yan swallowed the food in her mouth before sincerely saying, "I was young before and didn't know how wicked people could be. After what happened with Su Yun, I realized that only my family would never betray me."
Brother, you won't abandon me, will you?
If you dare ignore me, I'm going to make a scene!
Xu Chengjun glanced at her and then hummed in agreement.
"Are you afraid that Su Yun will realize what's happening and start bothering you?"
Ning Yan smiled and looked at him, "That's right, that's exactly what I mean."
"Then do as I say from now on."
"Okay, whatever you say, brother."
Xu Chengjun called his lawyer, and the divorce property that Ning Yan received was handed over to the lawyer to handle. In addition, she also signed a power of attorney.
After dinner, Xu Chengjun offered to help Ning Yan go back to their marital home to pack her belongings.
Ning Yan agreed.
Only the nanny is at the Su family's house right now; the father and son are probably still at the hospital with that sickly beauty.
In order not to arouse Su Yun's suspicion, Ning Yan does not plan to touch this wedding room for the time being.
It's not too late to take this house after all other fixed assets, including the shares in Su Yun Company, have been liquidated.
