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

Lu Ning stared at his words, speechless for a long time.

Chen Guoguo, who had just finished showering, came out and asked, "Lu Ning, what are you daydreaming about?"

"What do you mean when a man tells you he doesn't want to talk about money, only feelings?"

Chen Guoguo revealed a gossipy look: "There are two possibilities."

"What do you think."

"The first possibility: He likes you and is hinting at it."

Lu Ning shook her head: "Impossible."

"That's the second possibility: he wants to sleep with you, but doesn't want to spend money, preferring to spend only a few cents."

Lu Ning was both amused and exasperated; that was even more impossible.

She glanced at it and replied with only a string of ellipses.

Ji Chiqian glanced at her reply, then looked up at the boxing coach who was driving and said, "Have the deliveryman send the ointment again, the one we sent last time."

The boxing coach nodded.

He went straight to the place where his brothers usually gathered, sat down, and pinched the bridge of his nose.

Gu Zifeng walked over: "Hey, Brother Qian hurt his arm. He wrapped it up with a bunch of bandages, and they're even pink."

The others gathered around: "It really is fucking pink."

Someone tried to reach out and remove the band-aid, but Ji Chiqian slapped him away, saying, "Don't touch it."

"Ouch~ Your band-aid is peeling off at the edge, and you won't let me touch it?"

"This is so precious, who put it there? It must have been a woman."

"Wearing a pink band-aid, she's probably quite young. Is she an adult?"

Ji Chiqian frowned: "Get lost, all of you, and don't ask any questions."

Gu Zifeng shooed the onlookers aside and sat down next to Ji Chiqian: "Was it Xiao Ningmeng who put it on?"

Ji Chiqian did not deny it.

Gu Zifeng continued, "Why did you suddenly message me, asking me to cancel Gu Yan's card and stop him from going to the opera house?"

"Teach him a lesson!"

Ji Chiqian recalled Qin Xiang's smug, innocent demeanor today and couldn't help but want to stand up for Lu Ning.

He recounted the story, and Gu Zifeng clicked his tongue: "That poisonous lotus is really persistent. Don't worry, this matter is easy to handle. My second aunt has always hated people like the 'white lotus' type, especially those from poor families."

Ji Chiqian couldn't help but take a sip of red wine: "There's something else."

"what's up?"

"nothing."

Ji Chiqian still didn't say it. He thought of the scene of Lu Ning and Ji Mo standing together. They were both very young and the same age.

Moreover, Lu Ning took the initiative to inquire about Ji Mo.

He only felt that the red wine in his mouth had become much more bitter.

-

Lu Ning received the plaster delivered by a courier the next day.

They sent quite a lot this time.

Lu Ning took a picture and sent it to him, then transferred the money.

After she finished doing all that, she went to class.

Chen Guoguo quietly asked, "Is he your boyfriend? Or a suitor?"

"Neither, just friends."

Lu Ning changed the subject: "There's a gaming industry banquet this weekend, a lot of people in the industry will be there, are you going?"

"Sure, I'd like to see it too."

"Then let's go together."

Lu Ning still needs to go to the banquet to solicit sponsorships.

Not long after, Lu Ning's phone rang. She picked it up immediately and thought it was a reply from Ji Chiqian.

It turned out not to be.

Zhao Gao sent her a message: "Don't forget the dinner party this weekend."

"I know."

After replying to the message, she glanced at her chat with Ji Chiqian, and sure enough, he hadn't replied.

She saw the conversation with Ji Mo again, but didn't reply.

It's likely that Jimo misunderstood as well.

She thought for a moment and replied to Ji Mo: "Did you misunderstand me before? I didn't mean to find out your weaknesses so I could threaten you to withdraw from the competition. I didn't mean that."

After Lu Ning sent the message, she felt that her explanation was a bit far-fetched.

Ji Chiqian said that Ji Mo's family does not approve of him playing video games.

Did Jimo withdraw from the competition in his past life because of his family, and not for the reason he thought?

Ji Mo had just woken up when he saw the message from Lu Ning, and he instantly woke up from his drowsiness.

He sat up, looked at the message Lu Ning sent, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He said that his sister-in-law would not have any intention of harming him.

Ji Mo replied happily, "Then I'm relieved."

Seeing Ji Mo's reply, Lu Ning felt much more at ease: "Are you going to the banquet this weekend?"

We absolutely have to go!

He needed to be there to protect his sister-in-law, since his brother, because of his status, certainly wouldn't dare to show his face.

Haha, now it's his turn to shine.

Let his brother know how important his smart and sensible younger brother is, and make his brother regret saying that he was a younger brother picked up from a garbage dump!

"Ji Mo!! Why aren't you up yet? Your grandma is waiting for you to have breakfast together!"

Mrs. Ji pushed open the bedroom door and saw her son's bedroom in complete disarray, which made her temples throb with anger.

"Mom, how can you just walk into my bedroom? I have a right to privacy too."

"What privacy do you have? Get up right now!"

Madam Ji looked at her youngest son and said, "Your brother sent you back, didn't he, to stop me from investigating the girl he's protecting?"

"Mom, can you please give my brother some privacy too?"

"I'm doing this for his own good."

Ji Mo picked his nose: "Why do you care so much, you're just a stepmother?"

Madam Ji's blood pressure spiked upon hearing this: "Say that again?"

"My brother can be with whomever he wants; that's his freedom!"

"Ji Mo, you stop right there!"

Madam Ji picked up something at random and threw it at Ji Mo.

Ji Mo, wearing only boxer shorts, ran down the villa corridor, yelling at the top of his lungs, "Grandma, help! My stepmother is going to abuse her own son!"

Madam Ji chased after him all the way but couldn't catch up. She was panting heavily, saying, "Even if I'm his stepmother, I'll still arrange the best marriage for him and shut those gossipy women up!"

She is indeed a stepmother, but Ji Chiqian is also a child she raised herself.

She was so angry.

Why can't Ji Mo be even a fraction as obedient as Ji Chiqian?

If Ji Chiqian hadn't been so outstanding, obedient, and sensible as a child, she wouldn't have had the idea of ​​having a second child.

They figured they were all from the Ji family, so they couldn't be too different.

She ended up having a little devil who just comes to annoy her. She regrets it so much!

After successfully escaping, Ji Mo slipped back to his room, got dressed, and texted Lu Ning: "Although the banquet isn't very interesting, if you go, I'll go too."

He is such a qualified, upright and generous younger brother!

After seeing Ji Mo's reply, Lu Ning decided to clarify things with him when they met, so that he wouldn't misunderstand.

After class, Lu Ning received a message from the person in charge of Maple Leaf Company: "We need to go to court this afternoon for pre-trial mediation. The lawyer will also be there. Are you free to go this afternoon?"

"I don't have classes this afternoon, I'll go straight to court later."

As a key figure, Lu Ning was someone she certainly couldn't miss.

After telling Chen Guoguo, she took a taxi directly to the court.

The people from Maple Leaf Company had arrived. The person in charge looked at her and asked, "Lu Ning, do you know who our lawyer is?"

"I don't know, hasn't our lawyer arrived yet?"

“They didn’t come, but the Lu family’s lawyer has arrived. He’s quite famous, so this case might not be easy for us.”

Lu Ning frowned, and Lu Dongyou's voice came from beside her: "What, you still haven't found a suitable lawyer? Do you need me to introduce one to you?"

She looked up and saw Lu Dongyou leading a group of people over, with Lu Liu following beside him, looking much more haggard.

Lu Dongyou looked down at Lu Ning and said, "It's not too late to admit defeat now. After all, you're my own sister, so I'll forgive you."
