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

Fresh blood gushed out instantly and dripped onto the ground.

When Lu Ning saw the bright red blood, her breath caught in her throat.

She never expected that Lu Nanfeng would actually harm himself!

She shouted, "Are you crazy?"

Secretary Zhang was also terrified. She quickly snatched the broken porcelain shards away and grabbed Lu Nanfeng's wrist, saying, "Boss, how can you be so careless with your health!"

Lu Nanfeng, however, seemed oblivious.

He looked at Lu Ning and said, "After I die, the company will be left to you. Just remember to visit me on Tomb Sweeping Day!"

Lu Ning slowly closed her hands.

Ji Chiqian stood in front of Lu Ning, blocking her view.

He looked down at Lu Ning and said, "Stop looking."

Lu Ning stood still, her eyes lowered, only to see that the blood on the ground was increasing.

"Boss, let's go to the hospital!"

Lu Nanfeng remained motionless, stubbornly staring at Lu Ning.

Secretary Zhang cried out loudly, "Miss, I beg you, please let the boss go to the hospital! He'll die! He really will die!"

Lu Ning closed her eyes with difficulty. Why did everyone have to force her like this?

She stepped out of Ji Chiqian's arms and looked at Lu Nanfeng over there.

She walked over.

A glimmer of hope flickered in Lu Nanfeng's eyes; he wanted Lu Ning to see the sincerity of his apology!

He would die for her!

Lu Ning walked up to Lu Nanfeng, raised her hand and hit him on the neck, causing Lu Nanfeng to faint immediately.

Lu Ning said coldly, "Take him to the hospital."

Secretary Zhang didn't care about anything else at that moment and had the bodyguards come in to carry the person away.

Lu Dongyou waited in the elevator for a long time but no one came. Instead, he saw Lu Nanfeng come out covered in blood. He was so frightened that his face turned pale: "What happened?"

Secretary Zhang's voice trembled with tears: "The boss wanted to get the young lady's forgiveness, so he resorted to extreme measures."

He had advised the boss long ago, but Lu Nanfeng didn't listen.

Otherwise, how could things have come to this point!

Lu Dongyou was also frightened and hurriedly helped Secretary Zhang take Lu Nanfeng to the hospital.

Blood dripped from the office all the way to the elevator.

Lu Ning saw the blood on the ground, and she turned away to avoid looking at it.

She really didn't expect her second brother to go to such lengths!

Ji Chiqian took a tissue, bent down and wiped the bloodstains from her hands: "This is his personal behavior, don't let it affect you."

"That's right, Little Lemon, this is a form of moral blackmail."

Ji Chiqian continued, "Guilt-based kidnapping."

Gu Zifeng nodded: "That's right, he's hoping to soften your heart through such an extreme method. Let's not fall for it!"

Lu Ning slowly breathed a sigh of relief. She saw him slowly wiping the blood off his hands, and her eyelashes trembled a few times.

She has been guarding against it closely, preventing the seed from sprouting.

At this very moment, it quietly sprouted and grew quite a bit.

Her heart tightened, and she quickly looked away, afraid that someone would discover something amiss.

Ji Chiqian checked her hands, and only after they were cleaned did he straighten his back.

He casually tossed the wet wipes into the trash can: "Have you finished your work for today?"

"Not yet. I was planning to come and have a meeting with everyone to discuss how to fix the bug. I didn't expect the Lu family to come so aggressively, and so many things have happened."

Lu Ning's expression was somewhat unnatural.

Ji Chiqian said calmly, "Then let's start the meeting in half an hour?"

Gu Zifeng quickly said, "Actually, there's no need to rush. We can have the meeting tomorrow."

Didn't you see that Little Lemon wasn't in a good mood?

Is it too cruel to still have to work now?

Gu Zifeng frantically tried to signal to Ji Chiqian with his eyes, but the men's magazine didn't see it.

Lu Ning shook her head: "I'm fine. Let's have the meeting in half an hour."

She couldn't let the Lu family affect her life.

They were complete strangers!

Lu Ning looked at the two people in front of her and said, "I'm going to the restroom."

After she finished speaking, she left the office. The blood was still on the floor, but a cleaning lady had already come over to clean it up.

After Lu Ning left, Gu Zifeng couldn't help but complain, "You don't know how to care about people at all. You could have gone back with Lu Ning and comforted her properly."

"She's not a hothouse flower; she doesn't need to be pampered like this!"

Ji Chiqian glanced at the blood on the ground: "It seems the Lu family's lesson wasn't enough."

"The Lu family needs to be taught a lesson, but the Lu Group was originally a branch company founded by Xiao Ningmeng's parents. Even the company name and address were chosen by her parents. Won't she be upset if it goes bankrupt?"

After all, this can be considered a kind of relic.

Ji Chiqian's expression was cold and stern. He turned and left the office, heading towards the restroom.

He saw Lu Ning go to the emergency exit.

Lu Ning sat alone on the steps, lost in thought.

The image of Lu Nanfeng cutting his wrists and dripping blood kept replaying in her mind.

It won't go away!

Ji Chiqian sat down next to her and whispered, "Do you need some comforting?"

Lu Ning turned her head and saw him, suddenly feeling both amused and exasperated: "What are you doing here?"

"Here to offer some comfort!"

Ji Chiqian patted his shoulder: "You can lean on it for a while, no charge."

Lu Ning glanced at him and then leaned on his shoulder.

She slowly closed her eyes: "Tell me, didn't I go too far?"

"Have you forgotten how your eldest brother scolded you? And during the time you were taking exams, the stationery your second brother prepared for you was all broken, which almost made you fail the exams."

Lu Ning took a deep breath: "I know."

Ji Chiqian flicked her forehead: "You've got too much manners. Lower your standards a bit."

Have you ever heard the saying: "Abandon personal ethics and enjoy a life of immorality"?

"Didn't you tell your fans in the live stream that your nickname is: 'Five Elements Lacking Morality'?"

Lu Ning burst out laughing: "Stop talking, this joke isn't funny at all."

She thought for a moment and then said, "I do hate them, and I will never forgive them."

After Lu Ning finished speaking, she added, "But they were really good to me when I was little. They treated me like a precious gem, afraid I would melt in their mouths or break in their hands."

But this only applies before Qin Xiang arrives.

She was only a few years old when her parents were in a car accident.

When things are good, they are truly good.

But when things got really bad, she paid the ultimate price!

Ji Chiqian lowered his eyes and saw her conflicted expression, feeling a pang of heartache: "But you've already paid the price, and you've paid it all back."

Lu Ning thought of her fate in her previous life; it was true.

She died once, so she's already paid her debts.

After Lu Ning said all this, she immediately felt much more relaxed.

She found herself leaning on his shoulder, his hand resting naturally on the steps, making it appear from a distance as if he were holding her in his arms.

She lowered her eyelids and didn't move.

Neither of them spoke, remaining in that position.

Lu Ning's heart started racing uncontrollably. Afraid that he would hear her, she looked up in a panic: "Is it almost time?"

Just then, Ji Chiqian lowered his head, and his thin lips slid across her forehead.

Neither of them expected this unexpected turn of events.

Lu Ning stood up in a panic: "I have to go to a meeting."

Her foot slipped on the step, and the man pulled her into his arms: "Be careful."

Lu Ning's ears turned bright red instantly.

The two were very close together, in a narrow and quiet space.

Now only the two of them remained, along with the sound of their intertwined heartbeats.

She looked up and met his gaze.

The distance between the two gradually decreased...
