"You...you can't hit me anymore. I'm not causing you any more trouble."

"Are you asking me to make a key for you?" Lu Zhaoning said with disdain, "The people at the entrance of the village make keys better than you!"

[Little brat, you still want to play word games with me. ]

Who is the little brat!

He is fifteen years old, not a kid!

"Chengyan, are you ready? I'm about to set off!"

Downstairs, I remembered Meng Zhixia's soft and cheerful voice.

[Lu Chengyan and Meng Zhixia are going to meet their online friends? ]

Lu Chengyan looked at Lu Zhaoning strangely. How did she know?

[Will Lu Chengyan be pushed off the rooftop and become a vegetable? ]

Lu Chengyan's heart skipped a beat. Is that impossible?

Didn’t Lu Zhaoning say in his heart last time that he committed suicide by jumping into the river due to premature love and depression?

He is not interested in premature love and just likes playing games.

"Sister Zhixia, wait for me. I'll be down right away."

Unexpectedly, Lu Zhaoning called him.

"wait a moment."

Lu Chengyan was a little surprised, and said proudly, “What?”

Lu Zhaoning looked at his arrogance and didn't want to care about his life or death.

"Hey, you called me but didn't say anything, what are you doing?"

"You'd better stay at home today."

Lu Chengyan snorted, not believing what he heard.

"I'm not!"

After saying that, he deliberately made loud footsteps and went downstairs with a thumping sound.

"Sister Zhixia, you are the best. You have so many friends and can go out and play with them every day. Unlike some people..."

The voice gradually drifted away, and I knew without even listening that it was not a good thing.

Lu Zhaoning listened to the sound of the car starting and let out a light sigh.

It’s hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words. Lu Chengyan asked for his own death, so it’s no wonder that she didn’t remind him.

"Zhaoning."

Lu Ze'an called out to Lu Zhaoning who was about to go downstairs.

"Is there anything wrong, Third Brother?"

Lu Zhaoning didn't like Lu Ze'an very much, but he didn't hate him either.

"are you--"

"what?"

Lu Zean smiled gently: "I mean don't keep anything to yourself. We are a family and we should help each other."

"Ah."

Lu Zhaoning responded obediently, but he didn't take it seriously at all.

Downstairs, Jiang Mingzhe had been led by the housekeeper to sit in the living room and wait.

This was his first time visiting the Lu family.

I have to admit that ten Jiang families combined are not as powerful as one Lu family.

Hearing from the housekeeper that Lu Zhaoning was doing well in the Lu family, Jiang Mingzhe felt a subtle feeling in his heart.

"Miss."

Hearing the word "Miss", Jiang Mingzhe came back to his senses and saw Lu Zhaoning standing in front of him.

It's still the same face, but the feeling it gives is completely different.

"Zhaoning."

"You came to see me specially, is there something wrong?"

Such a straightforward statement completely disrupted Jiang Mingzhe's rhythm.

The sensational opening remarks he had prepared had to be abandoned.

"Zhao Ning, I came to see you today because of Xue Rou's car accident."

"I thought this matter was made very clear over the phone, or do you think it was my fault that Jiang Xueruo got into a car accident?"

Lu Zhaoning's expression turned cold, and there was no warmth in his eyes.

"I did not mean that……"

Jiang Mingzhe took a deep breath and recounted the conversation between Jiang Xueruo and Zhao Yanyun in the hospital.

"Zhao Ning, I didn't favor Xue Rou after she returned home. In my heart, you are both my sisters. I hope you can live in harmony."

[We are all sisters, so we can distinguish between the heart and the back of the hand. Jiang Xurou is the heart, and I am the back of the hand. ]

Lu Zhaoning complained in his heart before looking up at Jiang Mingzhe.

"Any thing else?"

Faced with Lu Zhaoning's attitude which was not enthusiastic but rather cold, Jiang Mingzhe's heart was filled with bitterness.

"Zhao Ning, are we so estranged now?"

Jiang Mingzhe smiled bitterly, "Don't you remember that when you were a kid, you would ask your elder brother for help whenever you had problems?"

After Grandma Jiang passed away, Zhao Yanyun didn't like little Zhaoning. She was also a little afraid of Jiang Wenhua, so she would ask her elder brother Jiang Mingzhe for help whenever she had problems.

Jiang Mingzhe was really good to her at that time.

"of course I remember."

Jiang Mingzhe's brows relaxed, no longer as reserved as before.

He began to talk about his childhood.

Yes, Lu Zhaoning has no memory of it at all.

She inherited the original owner's memory, but she had no impression of what Jiang Mingzhe said.

Completely original, down to the smallest detail.

Lu Zhaoning listened quietly but didn't say anything else.

A look of lack of interest.

Soon, Jiang Mingzhe noticed it.

"Has Zhao Ning forgotten everything?"

Lu Zhaoning shook his head.

“Some things are forgotten, but some things are not forgotten.”

Jiang Mingzhe's heart sank.

"I'm sorry, you don't even remember what I said."

"It's ok."

Lu Zhaoning no longer wanted to deal with Jiang Mingzhe. She dealt with him perfunctorily while opening the system to watch melons.

[Zhao Yanyun asked reporters to expose the truth about the real and fake daughter? 】

As soon as I opened the system, I saw the gossip about myself.

Since it concerned him, Lu Zhaoning quickly read it carefully.

This sight made Lu Zhaoning laugh out of anger.

[The reason why I left the Jiang family penniless was because I was angry? 】

[The Jiang family tolerates my willful bad temper. Are the Jiang family's daughter and I not getting along? ]

[Twenty years of relationship cannot bring benefits, but twenty years of investment needs to get a certain rate of return? ]

Lu Zhaoning didn't even need to open his phone to know that he must be on the trending search again.

When she looked at Jiang Mingzhe again, her eyes were filled with sarcasm, and her eyebrows were cold.

"I thought you came to see me because you really cared about how I was doing in the Lu family. I didn't expect you to tell me all this just to remind me not to be ungrateful and to remember to repay the Jiang family for raising me for twenty years."

"…What do you mean by ungrateful?"

Jiang Mingzhe looked confused and had no idea what Lu Zhaoning meant.

Lu Zhaoning took out her mobile phone and the relevant tweet popped up on the screen. She opened it and handed it to Jiang Mingzhe in silence.

Jiang Mingzhe took it without knowing what was going on, and saw in the video Zhao Yanyun complaining to the reporter that she had worked hard to raise Lu Zhaoning for twenty years, but in return she ended up causing her own daughter to be injured in a car accident because of Lu Zhaoning.

"Zhao Ning... I really don't know about this..."

Jiang Mingzhe wanted to explain, but when he met Lu Zhaoning's extremely cold eyes, he knew it was too late to say anything.

"The only person in the Jiang family who treated me well without asking for anything in return was my grandmother. I believe you know how they treated me after she passed away."

"Zhao Ning, I——"

Lu Zhaoning didn't give Jiang Mingzhe a chance to speak, and said in a cold tone: "If you still treat me as your sister, I can also treat you as your brother, but if you want to ask me for help for other people, I'm sorry I can't do it!"

"Zhao Ning, now that you have become the eldest daughter of the Lu family, do you not intend to recognize us anymore?"

Lu Zhaoning smiled, but his expression was cold: "Do you still expect me and your Jiang family to live in harmony?"

The look in Lu Zhaoning's eyes was filled with unconcealable sadness and regret.

But there were some things he had to mention.

"Mom, she lost her mind temporarily because Xuerou was injured in the car accident. No matter what, the Jiang family has raised you for twenty years. Don't you think these are nothing?"
