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

Suddenly, they heard voices outside, and the two quickly distanced themselves.

Lu Ning quickly got up: "I...I'm going to change my clothes."

Ji Chiqian sat up and watched her flee in panic.

He lay back down on the ground; he hadn't been feeling much better just now, his heart was pounding in his chest.

He turned his head and saw the sunset outside; it was indeed quite beautiful.

But she's not as pretty as him.

-

Lu Ning returned to the locker room.

She sat in the chair, covered her face, and it took her a long time to calm down.

Was her heartbeat really that loud just now?

Did he hear that?

Lu Ning rubbed her face and went to take a shower, her whole body aching terribly.

She changed her clothes and went out, her dried hair draped over her shoulders, and she was very quiet.

She glanced around instinctively, but didn't see Ji Chiqian. Had he left?

Lu Ning took out her phone, ready to send a message, but then stopped.

"Still not leaving?"

Ji Chiqian stood in front, having changed his clothes, his hair still wet.

Lu Ning put down her phone and walked over. The two of them slowly walked outside, both smelling exactly like the gym's shower gel.

The sun had set outside, and the surroundings had become much darker.

The two walked downstairs, and Lu Ning stopped: "I'm going back to my school dormitory."

"Okay, remember to apply a compress to your arm when you get back. You can't do high-intensity training every day, or you'll hurt yourself."

Lu Ning heard his low, somewhat serious voice.

She lowered her eyelids, her gaze falling on his chest: "I know about my affairs."

"Practicing so hard, anyone who didn't know better would think you're about to go to war and are desperate to save your life?"

This man still has such a sharp tongue!

Lu Ning looked up at him and said, "Yes, I'm just worried about saving my life."

"What are you afraid of?"

Ji Chiqian noticed her change, but now she was deliberately keeping her distance from him, and he couldn't quite figure out what she was thinking.

Is she worried about the Mo family?

But he has already put pressure on her, and Mo Shanshan went to apologize to her publicly today.

Lu Ning feigned nonchalance: "I'm not afraid of anything, I just want to make myself stronger."

Only by becoming stronger can we protect ourselves and those around us.

"I'm going back to school now."

Lu Ning noticed someone was watching them, so she turned and left.

Ji Chiqian stood there, watching Lu Ning's back, petite yet resolute.

He still remembers the first time he met her in the infirmary; she was depressed and downcast.

Now I've developed a much stronger temper.

After returning to her dorm, Lu Ning recalled the scene of the two of them sparring at the gym, and how they almost kissed.

She raised her hand to shield her eyes, feeling a slight soreness in her arm.

"Lu Ning, your things."

Lu Ning stood up and saw Chen Guoguo hand her a package: "I didn't buy anything."

"But your name is on the package, why don't you take a look?"

Lu Ning took it and opened it, finding inside were plasters and a boxing book that explained how to practice boxing without getting injured.

Seeing this, she guessed who had sent it.

Lu Ning took a picture and prepared to send it to Ji Chiqian: 【Did you send this?】

[Very effective.]

The man's answer was also very simple.

Lu Ning applied the plaster, while Chen Guoguo helped her apply it to her back.

Chen Guoguo asked gossipily, "Who gave you this ointment? Your boyfriend?"

"No, a friend."

Lu Ning looked at the books on the table as if Ji Chiqian was mocking her.

She picked up her phone again and sent Ji Chiqian a red envelope.

The man replied with: 【?】

No reward should be given without merit.

After Lu Ning sent the message, she didn't receive a reply for a long time, but it seemed that he hadn't claimed the red envelope either.

When Lu Ning woke up the next day, the aches and pains all over her body were even greater.

However, the area where the plaster was applied is much better.

Ji Chiqian's guess was pretty accurate.

Lu Ning took her textbooks and went downstairs with Chen Guoguo to go to class.

But she saw Lu Liu outside the dormitory building.

Lu Liu was tall and had good features. Standing outside, he attracted the attention of many girls.

Lu Ning glanced at it only once, then walked straight ahead without looking to the side.

But sometimes, you can't avoid it.

"Lu Ning, wait a minute."

Lu Ning frowned: "Move aside, I need to get to class on time."

"I'll just chat with you for a few minutes, it won't take up too much of your time. I can wait for you to come back after class."

This means they absolutely have to talk about it.

Lu Ning was extremely impatient: "Speak."

Lu Liu's expression was somewhat unnatural. His voice was hoarse: "This whole mess was orchestrated by Qin Xiang and me; it has nothing to do with my second brother. He invested half his fortune in this project, and if he loses his bidding eligibility..."

"Stop, you're pleading for me, right?"

Lu Liu nodded, his eyes filled with caution: "I can make it up to you, but could you please not hold Second Brother responsible?"

Lu Ning said with a sneer, "Then how do you expect me not to pursue this?"

“Tell the organizers that Lu’s did not plagiarize your idea, that you are one of us, and that it was just a little joke.”

Lu Ning laughed out loud: "Only your Lu family could come up with such an outrageous request."

"Lu Ning, I didn't mean anything by it."

Chen Guoguo, who was standing next to her, couldn't stand it anymore: "Sir, have you thought about what consequences Lu Ning will face if you let her say that to the organizers? Will her company continue to believe her?"

You're only thinking about severing ties with her, leaving Lu Ning to bear the consequences alone. There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Chen Guoguo was very angry.

During the team selection that day, it was clear how biased the Lu family was; I never expected it to be this outrageous!

Lu Liu was speechless after being rebuked. He looked at Lu Ning and said, "I know this request is difficult for you."

"Since you knew this request would be difficult, you shouldn't have said it. But you still said it, which means you don't think it's a big deal for Lu Ning to be in a difficult position. In your heart, you don't care about Lu Ning at all, and you don't deserve to be her brother!"

Lu Liu was forced to retreat one after another, unable to answer a single word.

Chen Guoguo looked at Lu Ning and said, "Let's go, we're going to be late for class."

Lu Ning turned her head to look at Lu Liu: "Did you receive the lawyer's letter?"

"A lawyer's letter? Are you really planning to sue us?"

Lu Liu's eyes were filled with disbelief, as if he couldn't believe it.

Lu Ning said with a sneer, "You should go and hire a good lawyer."

Lu Ning left with Chen Guoguo.

Lu Liu stood there, a look of bewilderment on his face.

He thought that even if Lu Ning was angry, she wouldn't go to this extent. He didn't expect that she really intended to sue him.

At this moment, Qin Xiang rushed over, her voice filled with anxiety.

"Sixth Brother, Lu Ning has really sued us. The lawyer's letter has already been delivered to Big Brother. What should we do? What did Lu Ning say when you talked to her?"

Lu Liu's back was bent, and he couldn't straighten up.

His eyes were red and swollen: "Qin Xiang, you're the one who caused all of this."
