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

Lu Ning covered her nose in disgust and turned to look at Ji Chiqian: "You can go first."

"Lu Ning, why are you in such a hurry to kick him out? Are you feeling guilty? Are you afraid your penniless boyfriend will find out you're being kept?"

Lu Ning turned around and looked at the drunken Qin Xiang: "You keep talking about being kept, look like you're pretty good at it."

"Lu Ning, stop changing the subject. You're just feeling guilty."

Qin Xiang looked at Ji Chiqian in the car: "You don't need to look so upset. Lu Ning did cheat on you. She's being kept by Young Master Gu, who even gave her shares in Maple Leaf Company."

Upon hearing this, Ji Chiqian narrowed his eyes slightly.

He gave the shares to Lu Ning.

Qin Xiang said smugly, "A poor school doctor like you could never earn this much money in your entire life. You're the first man to live off a woman. But you are quite good-looking. If you come with me, I can give you even more money."

She just couldn't stand Lu Ning cheating on him, and the fact that some men were so devoted to him.

Gu Yan, that mama's boy, was called back by his mother and didn't even dare to answer her phone.

Qin Xiang hiccuped. If she wasn't having a good time, she wouldn't let Lu Ning have it easy either.

She wanted to take everything from Lu Ning, including Lu Ning's man.

She looked at Ji Chiqian and said, "So, is it more cost-effective to go with me?"

How much money could Lu Ning give this man? She was the most favored eldest daughter of the Lu family.

"Qin Xiang, are you crazy?"

Lu Ning shoved Qin Xiang away and slapped her across the face: "Didn't you get beaten enough during the day?"

Qin Xiang plopped down on the ground, her head buzzing.

Lu Ning took out her phone and slapped Qin Xiang: "If you're drunk and need a man, go to a hotel, don't come here and act all horny!"

Qin Xiang originally wanted to curse, but when she saw Lu Ning recording a video, she hurriedly got up from the ground and said, "Delete the video."

"Get out of my way, or I'll post this on the school forum right now and let all your simps see what you look like when you're drunk and acting like a slut. Do you think you can still keep your 'pure junior' title?"

Qin Xiang was so frightened that she sobered up a bit and turned around and slunk away.

Lu Ning put down her phone and turned to look at Ji Chiqian: "She's drunk and acting crazy. I'll go back to the dorm first, so I don't miss curfew."

Ji Chiqian nodded and watched her walk into the school.

Remembering what Qin Xiang had just said, he called Gu Zifeng directly, his tone somewhat cold: "What did Lu Dongyou say?"

"I was just about to tell you about this. They seem to have misunderstood my relationship with Xiao Ningmeng. They're saying I'm keeping her as a mistress, and Lu Dongyou even wants to negotiate with me. What makes them think they can threaten me?"

Ji Chiqian's face was terribly grim: "Make public the fact that the Lu brothers stole trade secrets. The worse the impact, the better."

"Understood, we need to give Little Lemon some revenge."

Gu Zifeng thought for a moment: "As your good brother, let me give you a heads-up. If this goes on for too long, people will discover your true identity. Have you thought about how you're going to explain this to Little Lemon?"

As long as Lu Ning is in Yun Jing, she will run into acquaintances with Ji Chiqian.

It's only a matter of time; that day will come sooner or later.

Ji Chiqian's Adam's apple bobbed slightly: "I know."

But he didn't know how to bring it up with Lu Ning.

He worried that once Lu Ning found out who he was, they might not even be able to remain friends.

Everything he has now was stolen.

"Anyway, you should think about it carefully. The truth will eventually come out."

Gu Zifeng hung up the phone after speaking.

Ji Chiqian rolled down the car window and couldn't help but light a cigarette. He looked at the night sky outside, his thoughts tangled like threads, unable to be untangled.

A cigarette was held between his fingers, the red embers burning out.

His phone rang, and he snapped out of his reverie to see the message from Lu Ning: "Are you home yet?"

Ji Chiqian stubbed out his cigarette and replied to the message with his head down: "Soon."

The corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up, without him even realizing it.

Lu Ning was already lying on her bed in the dormitory and sent him a picture of herself with plasters on: "You ruined my arm, I had to put on several plasters this time."

Otherwise, when she wakes up tomorrow, her hands and feet probably won't belong to her anymore.

Ji Chiqian's car stopped at the traffic light. He subconsciously picked up his phone and his eyes darkened considerably after seeing the message she had sent.

He rested one hand on the car window and replied, "I didn't do anything."

Lu Ning replied with a string of ellipses.

Ji Chiqian glanced at the phone, tossed it aside, and drove home in a cheerful mood.

Lu Ning recalled his reply again and couldn't help but send another emoji of beating up a pig's head.

There was no ambiguity in what she just said.

The next day, Lu Ning was woken up by a phone call.

She had no classes in the morning and planned to sleep in.

After being woken up, she asked in a very unpleasant tone, "Who is it?"

"Lu Ning, I never expected you to be so ruthless, determined to kill me. I've already taken all the blame, why do you have to expose me to the media? Are you only satisfied when you've completely destroyed me?"

Lu Liu's voice was filled with grief and indignation.

Lu Ning sat up and yawned: "Are you crazy? When did I expose myself to the media?"

"Look at the news in the esports world right now. Besides you, who else would do something like this?"

After seeing this message, Lu Liu knew that his career was basically ruined.

The sponsors kept calling him, demanding that he terminate the contract.

The team manager told him that many team members were considering quitting.

Lu Liu was furious: "Lu Ning, I'll accept that Sixth Brother admitted he was wrong before, even if it means going to jail. Why are you going to this extent?"

Lu Ning opened her phone and, sure enough, saw the news Lu Liu had mentioned.

[The Lu Group is suspected of stealing trade secrets, and a bigwig in the e-sports industry has actually gotten involved in the theft.]

She glanced at the contents of the report.

The main point is that Lu Liu stole trade secrets for her older brother Lu Dongyou's company, but it doesn't specify what the secrets were or mention her name.

But now that the older brother's company has been embroiled in this scandal, its stock price has plummeted.

After reading it, Lu Ning said coldly, "Whether you believe it or not, I didn't do this."

"Who else would do this besides you?"

"If you insist on thinking that way, then there's nothing I can do. After all, the content of the report isn't fake; it's all true."

Lu Ning didn't want to explain too much; let the misunderstanding remain.

Anyway, the Lu family has more than just one or two misunderstandings about her!

"Lu Ning, I owe you nothing from all these years, we're even!"

Lu Liu hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

Lu Ning glanced at her phone, a mocking expression on her face.

But she also found it strange, who did it?

She forwarded the message directly to Gu Zifeng: "Did you arrange this?"

The only person Lu Ning could think of was Gu Zifeng.

"Ahem, how did you know?"

Gu Zifeng felt a little embarrassed. Had Lu Ning discovered something?

"Besides you, I can't think of anyone else with such ability. But if you do this, Gu Yan will probably cause you trouble."

After all, Qin Xiang would definitely look for Gu Yan.

"You don't need to worry about that kid Gu Yan at all."

Gu Zifeng paused for a moment: "You know who I am?"

"Yes, Ji Chiqian told me."

Gu Zifeng: "???"

What does this mean? Ji Chiqian pushed his brother out to take the fall in order to keep it a secret, fine, fine!

"Little Lemon, it doesn't matter who I am, after all, we're friends. If that kid Gu Yan bullies you, just tell me."

Lu Ning smiled; Gu Yan couldn't bully her after all.

She suddenly blurted out, "So how did you meet Ji Chiqian? What did he do before?"
