Du Jiuyuan did not really want all these things, but Ji Jingchen’s decision was firm. She was afraid of wasting this hard-earned divorce opportunity, so she accepted it.
She drove the luxury car back to the apartment and parked it downstairs. She took out the dust bag that was placed on the passenger seat, wrapped it around the car, before she headed upstairs.
The owner of the apartment was moving out, and a young woman gave Du Jiuyuan the keys.
Du Jiuyuan took it and opened the door of her room. She saw her aunt packing her luggage.
“Is the divorce settled?” Du Ling asked with concern while packing.
“Yes, aunt, are you leaving already?” Du Jiuyuan looked at the luggage by the side of the bed in an absent-minded manner.
“Yes! With this conclusion, auntie will be at ease. There are still little animals at home that need to be fed!”
“Aunt, can you not leave?” Du Jiuyuan was very reluctant to let her aunt go.
“Please, how old are you? If you miss auntie, you should go back to Zhongshan more often. Don’t act like a little child.”
Du Jiuyuan did not say anything and just nodded silently.
Du Ling had already bought the train ticket. Truthfully, she also could not bear to part with Du Jiuyuan, but they would have to be separated eventually.
“Auntie, I’m transferring 100,000 Yuan to you. Please use the money as you wish.” Du Jiuyuan worked on her phone and transferred some money to her aunt.
“I have money, my darling little girl, but I’ll keep what you gave me. However, when the time comes, will you in return keep what I give to you?” Du Ling rolled her eyes and was prepared to trick Du Jiuyuan.
All these years, she had some savings, which were all kept for Du Jiuyuan in future.
Du Jiuyuan was not fooled by Du Ling at all.
Driving the eye-catching Maybach, Du Jiuyuan sent Du Ling to the railway station. Seeing Du Ling’s back disappearing from the platform, her tears fell again.
After a long time, she calmed herself down and returned to the parking lot. However, she found that her car had been hit by another vehicle.
The car that ran into it was a dark gray Bentley. However, both cars were not badly damaged. It was just a small scratch.
“Miss, our president wants to meet you in order to discuss the compensation for this accident,” the driver said awkwardly.
Who knew what went wrong with their president to use such a clumsy approach to make contact with Du Jiuyuan.
Du Jiuyuan immediately understood that the other party had ulterior motives. Her car was parked there perfectly away from traffic and unless the driver was blind, it would be impossible to crash into it.
“It’s fine as long as the compensation is reasonable. You can admit that it’s all your fault!” Du Jiuyuan did not want to provoke such a person.
She thought that the city people would be more civilized. Instead, she had bumped into such an encounter— blackmail.
It was better to avoid trouble. If the driver said anything else, she would just drive away and fix it herself.
“Miss Du, I’m Ling Jin. Can we have a chat?” In the car, CEO Ling personally got out and gave the driver a look. The driver proceeded to give Du Jiuyuan Ling Jin’s business card.
Du Jiuyuan took a look at it. It was a gilded business card, an expensive one.
Ling Jin was 31 years old. He was the CEO of the Ling Group and the only heir of the Ling family. His three brothers had all died an unnatural death. His father was also fully paralyzed due to a car accident and had been living in the hospital.
There had been rumors that Ling Jin had done all this because he would have become the biggest beneficiary from this series of unfortunate events.
Du Jiuyuan did not have any special identity at the moment. Facing such a ruthless character, she could only try to find out what he was up to.
Her car was sent to be repaired, and she was invited to a high-class club under the Ling corporation.
“I have never met you before, CEO Ling. May I know why you are interested in chatting with me?” Du Jiuyuan asked in a straightforward manner.
“Next time, just reveal your identity directly. Let’s not be so unreasonable…”
Ling Jin did not reply immediately. Instead, he personally poured a cup of tea for Du Jiuyuan.
“This is the Cloud Smoke tea, Miss Du, please have a taste.” Ling Jin placed the cup in front of Du Jiuyuan politely.
“Sorry, I don’t really drink tea.” Du Jiuyuan declined politely.
It was common sense for a person not to touch things given by random strangers.
Ling Jin was not angry because of this. Instead, he smiled and said, “Miss Du, don’t be nervous. You haven’t seen me before, but I’ve seen you at the wedding.” Ling Jin was the man behind the lounge door who watched Du Jiuyuan while she repaired her wedding dress.
“Oh, then why were you looking for me?” Ling Jin was a ruthless person, and Du Jiuyuan did not want to get involved.
“I intend to cooperate with you. Do you know who the new entertainment star Luoluo is?” Ling Jin’s intention of cooperating with Du Jiuyuan was actually an excuse to build a closer rapport with her.
Luoluo? The new entertainment star Luoluo, whose reputation within the industry was no lesser than that of Lu Ziang, was at the peak of her career when she debuted.. She had access to all kinds of resources, but the entertainment reporters had never found out who the financier behind her was.
