After Miss Lu became the only one to enjoy the limelight, her six brothers knelt down and begged for

"Lu Ning, are you going to admit your mistake or not?"

Lu Ning's mouth and nose were submerged in water, causing her throat to ache from choking.

She opened her eyes from her near-death experience and saw her second brother, Lu Nanfeng, on the shore of the pool, and her fourth brother, Lu Bei, who was holding Qin Xiang.

A look of surprise flashed across her eyes; this scene seemed so familiar.

Isn’t he dead?

Could it be that she was reborn three years ago, on the day Qin Xiang was officially adopted by the Lu family as their goddaughter?

At the banquet, Qin Xiang deliberately plotted against herself, making everyone believe that she had intentionally pushed Qin Xiang into the water.

Fourth Brother Lu Bei was the first to find them, but he only saved Qin Xiang, leaving her struggling in the water, as she also couldn't swim.

Her second brother even pressed her to admit whether she had made a mistake or not.

It was as if they wouldn't help her up unless she admitted her mistake.

She struggled desperately in the water, admitting her mistakes, begging for mercy, and pleading with her brothers to save her.

She was rescued just as she was on the verge of death.

From then on, she never dared to offend Qin Xiang again and tried her best to please her brothers at home, but what did she get in return?

Qin Xiang stole her graduation thesis, and her second brother, Lu Nanfeng, testified on Qin Xiang's behalf, making her the plagiarist and causing her to be expelled.

Qin Xiang was in poor health and needed a kidney transplant. Her third brother, Lu Xicheng, personally took her to the operating room for the transplant.

Qin Xiang needed international competition results to enhance his reputation, so his fourth brother Lu Bei, fifth brother Lu Wu, and sixth brother Lu Liu kicked him out of the team without hesitation.

Lu Ning found evidence that Qin Xiang had plagiarized papers and forged medical records, and showed it to her older brother in an attempt to expose Qin Xiang's true colors.

However, this angered the public, and no one believed her words or even looked at the evidence carefully.

Her elder brother, Lu Dongyou, kicked her out of the house to reflect on her actions.

She ended up on the streets, penniless and suffering greatly.

As memories resurfaced, Lu Ning gave up struggling and sank directly to the bottom of the pool.

Her eyes were wide open, her face expressionless, as if she were dead.

She looked at her brother surrounding Qin Xiang on the shore, and even seeing him again, her heart still ached terribly.

How ridiculous.

Her own sister is not as good as an outsider.

Lu Nanfeng, the second brother on the shore, had been watching Qin Xiang. Only when he heard no more of Lu Ning's struggling did he turn to look at the pool—Lu Ning had already sunk to the bottom.

Upon seeing this, Lu Nanfeng's face instantly turned pale: "Ningning!"

With a splash, Lu Nanfeng jumped down without hesitation.

When Qin Xiang saw Lu Ning sink, a glint of light flashed in her eyes. It would be better if Lu Ning died.

She feigned weakness, tugged at her fourth brother Lu Bei's sleeve, and said weakly, "Cough cough, fourth brother, I also want to save Sister Ning. She fell into the water because of me."

Lu Bei was also very worried, but after hearing these words, he quickly comforted Qin Xiang: "Don't be silly, your second brother has saved her enough. Lu Ning is just reaping what she sowed, she won't die!"

Lu Bei turned his head to look at the swimming pool, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

Lu Ning was in the water, watching her second brother Lu Nanfeng swim towards her, and the worry on her face seemed genuine.

Just now, he kept forcing me to admit my mistakes and apologize, while coldly watching me struggle to drown.

This time, she didn't care if he came to save her.

A hint of mockery flashed in Lu Ning's eyes as she turned and swam out of the water.

After a near-drowning incident in her past life, her second brother forced her to learn to swim from Qin Xiang.

She already had a psychological trauma, but in order to please her second brother, she learned to swim despite her fear. In the end, her second brother only praised Qin Xiang for her bravery and for overcoming her fear.

Little did she know that the minute she was deliberately left in the water would leave her with serious aftereffects.

But nobody cared about her anymore; Lu Nanfeng only had eyes for Qin Xiang.

"Lu Ning, what nonsense are you spouting now? Do you think you can erase the mistake you just made by pretending to drown?"

Lu Nanfeng blocked her way. He felt that Lu Ning seemed to have changed a lot. When did she learn to swim?

Lu Ning looked up at her second brother, Lu Nanfeng, who used to be her favorite.

Because his eldest brother was very strict, only his second brother was somewhat close to him.

But now, all that's in Lu Nanfeng's eyes is disgust and impatience.

Qin Xiang's soft voice came through: "Second brother, this is not Sister Ning's fault. I know she has never liked me becoming a member of the Lu family. I was too greedy and shouldn't have dared to dream of having a family. Please don't fight because of me, sob sob, you are all very important people to me."

Fourth Brother Lu Bei glared at Lu Ning: "Are you satisfied now! If her father hadn't died saving you, she wouldn't be an orphan. She shouldn't have saved an ingrate like you in the first place! She might as well have died!"

Lu Nanfeng frowned: "Ningning, you should have a conscience. We should treat Xiangxiang as family. This is something our Lu family owes her, and it's something you owe her, understand?"

"Second brother, if someone as ungrateful as her understood right from wrong, she wouldn't have pushed Xiangxiang into the water. Uncle Qin would have saved a dog rather than her!"

Lu Ning felt as if she were in a wasteland, her whole body was chilled to the bone.

If she could, she would rather she had never been rescued.

She endured the burning pain in her lungs and spoke in a hoarse voice, "It was indeed my fault, it won't happen again."

Because she won't do such a stupid thing again.

Since they prefer Qin Xiang as the younger sister, then she should step aside.

"Ningning, are you really doing this on purpose? Do you know that Xiangxiang can't swim? This could cause a fatal accident!"

Lu Nanfeng was very disappointed. He thought it was just an accident, but he never expected that Lu Ning had deliberately put Qin Xiang to death.

When did Lu Ning become so vicious?

At this moment, the family doctor arrived. Lu Bei turned to Lu Ning and angrily rebuked her: "You better pray that Xiangxiang is alright, otherwise you'll be in for a world of hurt when your older brother comes back."

Lu Nanfeng followed for a few steps, then turned around and saw Lu Ning standing there, soaked to the bone and with a pale face. He immediately felt a little soft-hearted.

He said, "Go back to your room and change your clothes first; the banquet is about to begin."

Lu Ning didn't say anything, and soon she was all alone.

She waited until they were all gone before bending over and coughing violently, as if she were coughing up her lungs.

She swallowed the crimson taste in her throat and struggled back to her room.

She lay in the bathtub, closed her eyes, and recalled her past life when she was homeless and turned to the dark side, wanting to kill Qin Xiang.

but failed.

She was locked up in a mental hospital by her older brother and tortured to death by the caregivers arranged by Qin Xiang.

She covered her face and laughed out loud, her voice a little eerie. "That's great!"

When Lu Ning opened her eyes again, her gaze was utterly cold.

After changing her clothes, Lu Ning looked at the bedroom in front of her, which still felt somewhat unfamiliar.

In her past life, this bedroom was also given to Qin Xiang, and she lived in Qin Xiang's small room.

Lu Ning saw a family photo on the table, showing a young couple holding a baby, with six little boys standing beside them.

Unfortunately, her parents died in a car accident not long after she was born.

The driver rescued her first, but when he went back to rescue his parents, the fuel tank exploded, and the driver also died.

Qin Xiang was the driver's only daughter, and she was frail and sickly from a young age.

After the car accident, the eldest brother took Qin Xiang to the Lu family and raised her together.

Everything changed after Qin Xiang appeared.

Her favorite brother was completely biased towards Qin Xiang.

"Qin Xiang is not in good health, so I specially hired a chef to cook meals suitable for her. Ningning, you make sure Xiang Xiang eats properly."

“Lu Ning, Xiangxiang also wants to learn to draw. Since you’ve already learned enough, let her have the teacher.”

“Lu Ning, you should withdraw from this competition. Let Xiangxiang, who came in second place, represent the school. She has been preparing for a long time.”

“Lu Ning, Xiangxiang’s score is low. You should apply to the same university as her so you can look out for each other in the future.”

...

Lu Ning covered her head with her hand, a sharp pain spreading through her heart.

She took small breaths and managed to swallow the pain.

She never wanted to have anything to do with the Lu family again in her life!

She put the photos away and began packing her things.

Not long after, a maid knocked on the door: "Miss, the banquet has begun. The second young master wants you to change your clothes and come downstairs."

"understood."

Lu Ning opened the door and walked straight towards the lively area outside.

The maid stared wide-eyed and muttered, "What is the young lady wearing? Has she gone mad from some kind of shock?"

The banquet outside.

Qin Xiang wore a white evening gown, with her long black hair cascading down her shoulders, looking like a pure and kind girl next door.

Second brother Lu Nanfeng and fourth brother Lu Bei stood beside her, looking at Qin Xiang with gentle affection.

This scene is heartwarming no matter how you look at it.

Lu Nanfeng couldn't help but think of Lu Ning. If only she could be this well-behaved and sensible.

In recent years, Lu Ning's personality has become increasingly arrogant and domineering.

"Lu Ning is here!"
