Chapter 1 - I Was Your Brother’s Fiancée (1/2)
Luo City, mid-March.
One week ago, the chairman of Lu Enterprise annulled his son’s wedding engagement to Jiang Yuning when the paparazzi exposed her involvement with a director who was already married. The director’s wife who was heavily pregnant with his child attempted suicide when she found out about the extramarital affair.
The public was enraged and started criticizing the director for his extramarital affair when his wife was pregnant with his child. To protect himself and gain favorable public opinion, the director decided to sacrifice Jiang Yuning and he informed the public that Jiang Yuning was the one who had seduced him. This statement ignited storms and criticisms surrounding Jiang Yuning, which greatly affected her reputation.
As one of the most prestigious and reputable families in Luo City, the Lu family were unable to accept a daughter-in-law who was involved in such scandals.
Jiang Yuning was then dismissed by Emperor Entertainment, one week after the incident because she had breached their contract by getting involved in a major scandal during the term of their contract. Besides that, the company also sued Jiang Yuning for damages worth sixty million yuan for her breach of contract.
Therefore, it seemed like Jiang Yuning lost everything in the blink of an eye. However, she received a phone call last night and it seemed like she had just received an engagement for a new contract.
After getting dismissed from her entertainment company, Jiang Yuning’s agent decided to send her off for one last time.
“Your house is now filled with reporters and the paparazzi. Furthermore, it is going to be sealed by the council very soon. Do you have anywhere else to go?” Her agent was a man in his early thirties. His hair was bleached silver, and he was dressed very fashionably. He had been serving Jiang Yuning for the past few years.
Jiang Yuning ignored him and continued fiddling around her purse.
“If you do not have any place to go…CEO Huang of Thousand City Enterprise is really interested in you. Why don’t you consider spending the night at his villa? After all, this will be nothing new to you since you already slept with the other director before.”
Jiang Yuning knew that the agent had something planned when he offered to drop her home. Things were never that simple with him. So, he planned to sell her off?
How much did CEO Huang offer to pay him for this?
“I have not slept with any director before. Emperor Entertainment knows better than anyone else the true story behind this scandal,” Jiang Yuning said as she finally took an envelope out from her purse. She looked at the address written on the envelope. “Yuning, I am doing all this for your sake. Your fiancé annulled your engagement and left you, and you are now blacklisted in the entertainment industry. What are your plans for your future? How do you intend to settle your debts?”
Jiang Yuning openly rejected his proposal and said, “I have already found a new home. You do not need to worry about me.”
The agent frowned and tried to hide the look of displeasure on his face. He had already accepted CEO Huang’s payment and he had already promised that he would deliver this woman to his bed but this woman was being difficult now.
“No, Yuning. We have already been working together for so many years. Do you think that I will do anything to set you up or harm you? I can assure you that as long as you stick by CEO Huang and become his woman, you will definitely live a life without any worries. As you can see, we are already on the way to his villa.”
Jiang Yuning was shocked when she heard her agent’s words. She quickly took out her cell phone and made a phone call.
“I have met into a little trouble on the way to Yinhe Road.”
The voice on the other side of the line was low and he merely said two words, but hearing his voice calmed Jiang Yuning’s nerves. “Got it.”
The agent could not help but laugh when he saw Jiang Yuning making the distress call for help. “We are reaching CEO Huang’s villa soon. Yuning, just help me out a little, won’t you? This is not easy for me either.”
Jiang Yuning did not say anything because she was disgusted by his action.
The agent looked at Jiang Yuning who remained quiet and thought that she was no longer resisting. After all, her phone call was most likely a bluff. She was in deep trouble and she was involved in such a huge scandal at the moment, why would anyone be willing to help her?
Therefore, the agent did not take Jiang Yuning’s words to heart and continued driving to CEO Huang’s villa. However, just as he was about to turn into the road leading to the villa, a black car suddenly stopped right in front of his car, blocking the entrance to the intersection.
The agent was shocked but before he could step out of his car to find out what was going on, the driver of the black car had already gotten out his car.
The driver opened the passenger car door and said, “Miss Jiang, please come with me.”
Jiang Yuning lifted her skirt slightly and was about to exit the car when the agent reached out and grabbed hold of her arm.
“Jiang Yuning, you can’t leave.”
Jiang Yuning turned around and was about to reply the agent when the back window of the black car was rolled down suddenly. The person sitting in the back seat glared at the agent and said, “Who can’t leave?” As soon as he heard that voice, the agent quickly turned around and was surprised when he saw the man sitting in the back seat of the car. “Lu—Second Young Master.”
There were four mysterious cars following closely behind the black car in a convoy. Those were the bodyguards who were assigned to protect Lu Jingzhi at all times.
