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

Will you forgive her?

Lu Ning scoffed, "Only those who have a guilty conscience would bluff."

She didn't care about the Lu family's so-called forgiveness, since she hadn't done anything wrong.

“Lu Ning, as long as you return to the Lu family and take over your second brother’s company, we can work together to expand and strengthen the artificial intelligence project, and the Lu family will reach new heights in the future. This is good for you and for the Lu family, don’t you think?”

Lu Dongyou was very confident, seemingly certain that Lu Ning would lose this time.

The person in charge beside Lu Ning couldn't help but speak up: "Mr. Lu, you've got a good plan. When you kicked Lu Ning out of the house, why didn't you say you were family? Now that she's successful, you start trying to build a relationship and call yourselves family. Is this the kind of family you have?"

Lu Dongyou's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

He said to Lu Ning, "Staying in the Lu family is the best thing for you. Do you know how cruel Yun Jing is? Small companies like Maple Leaf die every year. In the face of power, you are as insignificant as ants."

Lu Ning's expression was cold, and her mood became extremely bad. Her older brother was only targeting Maple Leaf Company because of her.

She said, "If Maple Leaf Company goes bankrupt, I won't let you off easy either."

"You? What kind of trouble can a little girl like you cause? You can't even find a lawyer, can you? I thought you understood enough how insignificant you are."

"Mr. Lu Dongyou is so calm, has he perhaps forgotten about the time when your Lu Group's firewall malfunctioned and you were scrambling to clean up the mess?"

Lu Dongyou recalled this incident and sneered, "You still have the nerve to say that? Do you really think you can threaten me like that? How naive! You'll find out soon enough."

As Lu Ning watched Lu Dongyou lead his men forward, she stood there, her heart filled with unease.

Lu Liu deliberately lagged behind a few steps and came to stand in front of Lu Ning. He looked much more haggard and had a hesitant expression.

Lu Ning turned to talk to the person in charge, not wanting to talk to Lu Liu.

But Lu Liu didn't leave. They were still discussing the case, and with Lu Liu there, no one felt comfortable saying anything.

Lu Ning turned around, her eyes filled with weariness: "What are you trying to say now?"

"Lemon."

"Don't call me that, we're not that close."

Lu Ning's attitude was cold and distant; she treated Lu Liu like a stranger.

Lu Liu seemed a little unsteady on his feet: "I know that my brother used his connections to make it impossible for you to find a lawyer. You also know my brother's methods. Can't you reconcile with him this once? If you go back to the Lu family, Maple Leaf Company will not be implicated or targeted because of you."

When Lu Ning heard that Maple Leaf Company was being targeted and implicated, she felt a little guilty.

The person in charge spoke first: "What do you mean that our company is being targeted because of Lu Ning? Our company's artificial intelligence project is a hot commodity, and our competitors would love to destroy our company."

What does this have to do with Lu Ning? Without her, the company's projects wouldn't have reached this level.

Lu Ning was surprised that the person in charge would speak up for her.

Over the years, she has long been accustomed to being misunderstood.

Lu Liu looked a little embarrassed: "Lu Ning, that's not what I meant. I just think that it's the best way for you to go back to the Lu family."

"This is what you consider the best solution. It's all in your favor, not mine!"

I'm really worried about you.

Lu Ning sneered: "You're worried about yourself, aren't you? If I really agree to go back to the Lu family, you'll be the first one who's safe and sound! Isn't that right?"

Lu Liu looked somewhat uneasy. Of course, he had his own selfish motives, but he wanted his siblings to reconcile.

Lu Ning said sarcastically, "Since you're so concerned that I can't find a lawyer, why don't you just admit to the judge that you did all of this? Then I won't need a lawyer."

Lu Liu immediately shut his mouth.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Weren't you just saying you were doing this for my own good? This was clearly what you really wanted for my benefit, so why are you unhappy?"

Lu Ning's words were like knives, stabbing into Lu Liu's heart.

Lu Liu took a deep breath: "Lu Ning, I'm still your own brother, why do you insist on sending me in?"

He also knew he had made mistakes in the past.

He also realized that Qin Xiang was two-faced and not a good person.

Why can't Lu Ning give him a chance to make amends?

Lu Ning laughed: "You need to understand, you're the one taking the blame for Qin Xiang. It was your older brother who pushed you out to take the fall. It wasn't me who insisted on sending you in. It was them who wanted you in to bear their guilt."

Lu Liu's expression was almost unsteady, and his lips were pale.

He choked up as he said, "I really want to make it up to you."

Lu Ning felt a wave of nausea. Why couldn't these people be a little more sincere?

Why do you have to pretend?

She turned to glare at Lu Liu, furious: "Fine, I'll give you a chance to make amends."

A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Liu's eyes: "Go ahead."

"Go and confess to the judge."

After Lu Ning finished speaking, she saw Lu Liu's expression freeze, and he then guiltily avoided her gaze.

Ha, see?

This is what it means to genuinely want to make amends.

An apology wrapped in insincerity is as disgusting as expired medicine.

Lu Ning's lips curled into a cold smile: "What, you can't do it?"

Lu Liu looked somewhat embarrassed: "It's not that I can't do it, but if I go in, how can I make it up to you?"

"Your going in is the biggest compensation you can make for me. I can then overlook everything you did before, how about that?"

Lu Liu remained silent.

At this moment, Lu Dongyou turned around and said loudly, "Sixth Brother, what are you standing there for? What's the point of talking to an ingrate like her?"

Lu Liu glanced at Lu Ning with guilt, then turned and followed her, his steps faltering.

Lu Ning looked at his retreating figure with a mocking expression.

The person in charge walked over, his expression complicated: "Lu Ning, how can your family be so hypocritical?"

The apology didn't even look like an apology.

There was no sincerity in making amends.

All of this must be done at the expense of Lu Ning's interests before an apology and compensation can be made.

What kind of family are they?

Seeing her colleagues' expressions, Lu Ning said, "I'm used to it. I know what kind of people they are. Let's go, let's go over there too."

She just messaged Gu Zifeng, and he said the lawyer would be here soon.

Since that's the case, there's nothing to be afraid of.

Lu Ning walked in with her colleagues. Lu Dongyou and Lu Liu were already seated, and the lawyer was organizing thick documents next to them.

Lu Ning sat down with the person in charge, but the lawyer was not there.

The judge asked Lu Ning, "When will your lawyer arrive?"

Lu Ning replied, "Soon, on its way."

Lu Dongyou's tone was light: "Could it be that you're too scared to come and are deliberately stalling for time? Lu Ning, since you can't win anyway, why don't you settle now? What conditions do you want?"

Lu Ning looked at Lu Dongyou but did not answer.

Just then, someone pushed the door open and came in: "Sorry I'm late."

When Lu Dongyou saw a middle-aged man wearing glasses appear, he asked in surprise, "Lawyer Feng?"

Attorney Feng is a living devil in the legal profession.

Currently, he is the chief lawyer for the wealthy Ji family.

Why would he take on such a small case as Maple Leaf Company?
