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

Sometimes, what you fear most comes to pass.

When Ji Chiqian saw the middle-aged man who suddenly rushed out, he felt like killing him.

He nodded indifferently and left the restaurant with Lu Ning.

Lu Ning took a few steps, and when she turned back, the middle-aged man was gone!

She asked in surprise, "Who was that middle-aged man just now?"

"do not know."

"But he calls you President Ji."

Lu Ning looked at Ji Chiqian with suspicion in her eyes!

Ji Chiqian's heart jumped into his throat. How was he going to explain this?

Lu Ning thought for a moment, then suddenly realized and said, "Maybe it's someone Maple Leaf Company used to work with. Since the investment promotion conference, many companies have come to us to cooperate."

Lu Ning felt that the man must also be looking for Ji Chiqian to collaborate with.

Ji Chiqian knew she had misunderstood, but he didn't explain. He continued, following Lu Ning's words, "This project has a good future."

"It's not just good, it's exceptionally good! You wouldn't believe it, this technology will be used in driverless cars in the future, and then it will become widespread..."

After saying this, Lu Ning suddenly realized that she had let something slip.

Doesn't that expose us?

Ji Chiqian glanced at her: "It seems you know quite a bit about these industries."

His team did some research and analysis, and indeed, this industry has great potential.

However, many people are not optimistic about it and think that emerging industries are unreliable. I didn't expect Lu Ning to have such a unique perspective!

The two returned together to the house that Lu Ning had bought.

After opening the shoe cabinet, Lu Ning was both amused and exasperated: "I suddenly realized I don't have any of your shoes to wear. Will you have to make do with these?"

After all, she had only moved in a few days ago and hadn't even settled in yet.

Ji Chiqian glanced at the empty room. It had fewer decorations, but it still had everything it needed.

Lu Ning saw the ill-fitting pink slippers he was wearing and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Sorry, but no one saw it."

Ji Chiqian glanced down at her, seemingly unconcerned about such things.

He saw Lu Ning opening the refrigerator to take out groceries and instinctively said, "Let the restaurant deliver, you don't need to cook!"

"It's alright, this isn't about flattering you, it's about entertaining a friend!"

When Lu Ning moved into his apartment before, she planned to take charge of cooking, but Ji Chiqian told her that she didn't need to please anyone.

But this time is different.

This is the house she bought, her home!

Ji Chiqian walked over to her and helped her wash the vegetables.

After all, cooking for two people is easy and not difficult.

Lu Ning quickly finished the three dishes and soup, and then took a picture with her phone to post on her WeChat Moments later.

But her phone had several missed calls.

Although she didn't save the name, she recognized the phone number; it belonged to her second brother.

Just then, the phone rang again.

Lu Ning hung up immediately, showing no intention of answering.

[Ningning, I'll explain Qin Xiang's injury to the police, so don't worry.]

Even if the surveillance cameras are broken, your second brother will testify for you.

Lu Ning glanced at the message and then slammed her phone face down on the table.

She didn't need her second brother to explain for her.

Moreover, Qin Xiang, that innocent-looking woman, was too guilty to continue. What if the surveillance footage was restored?

Ji Chiqian glanced at her phone: "A message from the Lu family?"

"Yes, after all, in my older brother's eyes, I'm a heartless snake who pushed the innocent Qin Xiang down, so he'll definitely come after me."

Ji Chiqian's gaze darkened: "What did he say?"

"It was my second brother who sent the message, saying he knew the surveillance cameras were broken and that he would explain things to the police on my behalf. But I don't care!"

The Lu family is masters at using these small favors to win people's hearts.

She will not waver, and she will not turn back.

Seeing her determined look, Ji Chiqian knew that even if she lived alone in Yunjing, she wouldn't be bullied.

After sending the message, Lu Nanfeng called again.

In the end, no one answered the phone.

He thought that after he sent those messages, Lu Ning would at least answer the phone and be willing to listen to him for a bit!

But to my surprise, Lu Ning didn't even answer the phone!

Lu Nanfeng was somewhat flustered and confused. How could such a thing have happened?

Lu Dongyou snorted coldly: "So, is Lu Ning too guilty to answer the phone?"

“Brother, Ningning isn’t that kind of person. Besides, given the circumstances at the time, we can’t conclude that it was Ningning’s fault based solely on Qin Xiang’s side of the story.”

Since the surveillance cameras were broken, it doesn't prove that it was all Lu Ning's fault.

Why did the eldest brother initially believe Qin Xiang but not Lu Ning?

Lu Nanfeng understood a little. Lu Ning said that they had been biased in the past. What else could his older brother's words be but bias?

"Second brother, I've discovered you've been brainwashed by Lu Ning. Xiangxiang is injured like this, and you still say Lu Ning is innocent? I'm starting to suspect the security cameras are broken, maybe Lu Ning is behind this!"

Lu Dongyou originally thought that the surveillance footage could prove everything.

I didn't expect the surveillance cameras to be broken.

Qin Xiang coughed deliberately: "Brother, let's just forget about it. I don't want to pursue this any further."

She was secretly pleased; thankfully, the surveillance camera was broken.

God help her too.

She had prepared her explanation in advance, but it turned out she didn't need to use it.

What if they continue to investigate and the surveillance data is recovered? She can't take that risk!

Seeing Qin Xiang's magnanimity, Lu Dongyou said with relief, "You're just too kind."

Lu Nanfeng, however, remained doubtful: "Qin Xiang, did Ningning really push you down the stairs?"

Qin Xiang was a little confused: "Yes, yes."

"But according to your description, Ningning was standing at the bottom of the stairs, and you were standing at the top. How could she have pushed you down the stairs?"

This just doesn't make sense.

Qin Xiang lowered her head in a panic: "Second brother, I just wanted to persuade Sister Ningning, but she got emotional and pulled me, which is why I fell."

"But didn't you say that Lu Ning pushed you down the stairs?"

If it really was pulled down, why didn't Qin Xiang use the word "pulled"?

Qin Xiang's statements are contradictory!

Qin Xiang immediately felt extremely guilty, afraid that she would be questioned and reveal some flaws, so she coughed on her chest.

Lu Dongyou interrupted, "Second brother, what do you mean by interrogating me like this? It's like you're interrogating a criminal."

"Isn't this about trying to find out the truth?"

"The two sisters had a conflict, they just got into a physical altercation, isn't that obvious?"

Lu Dongyou felt that the little squabbles between the two sisters were nothing serious.

But Lu Ning's attitude made him very angry, and he insisted on forcing Lu Ning to back down.

Lu Nanfeng suddenly felt a little tired: "Big brother, it's not like that, you can't just blame Ningning."

"Alright, alright, you've been brainwashed by Lu Ning and spoiled her rotten."

Lu Nanfeng stormed out of the ward, tugging at his collar, feeling frustrated and irritable.

Why doesn't my older brother believe what he says?

He only now realized that Qin Xiang had so many hidden thoughts and wasn't as innocent as she seemed.

But seeing his older brother's prejudice against Lu Ning reminded him that he had done the same thing before.

No wonder my younger sister left the Lu family so resolutely.

Qin Xiang hurriedly chased after him: "Second brother, are you angry with me? I also want to persuade Sister Ningning to go home."

"Alright, from today onwards, you'll move out of the Lu family home and stop living with us. I won't mistreat you financially, how about that?"

Qin Xiang's expression froze instantly, unsure how to answer: "Second Brother, I..."

Lu Nanfeng's gaze was piercing: "You refuse to agree? Then what you just said was a lie?"
