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

When Lu Ning saw Qin Xiang, she sneered inwardly.

Is she eyeing Jimo and trying to climb higher?

Lu Ning deliberately distanced herself from Qin Xiang: "I'm not very familiar with you either."

Qin Xiang's expression froze for a moment, looking sad and heartbroken: "Sister Ningning, we grew up together in the Lu family since we were little. Although I was adopted, even if you don't like me, I've always considered you my own sister."

Lu Ning's lips twitched. Well, they're starting to act again.

Isn't it annoying? It's always the same old trick.

After playing the victim, Qin Xiang looked at Ji Mo and said, "Young Master Ji, I'm sorry to have made you laugh. Sister Ningning always thought I would steal her brother, but I really didn't mean that."

Ji Mo raised an eyebrow: "Since Lu Ning doesn't like you, then you should be sensible and stay away from her."

His sister-in-law made it clear that she didn't like this woman.

He doesn't like that either.

Qin Xiang's expression froze for a moment; she hadn't expected Ji Mo to say that.

Damn it, don't all these men like weak girls and like to play the hero?

Why doesn't it work on Ji Mo anymore?

Lu Ning stared at Qin Xiang with a half-smile: "Do you think everyone is as brain-dead as those few in the Lu family, easily fooled by you?"

Qin Xiang's expression was almost too embarrassed to remain composed.

But in front of Ji Mo, she still had to maintain her innocent and virtuous image.

Qin Xiang spoke in a self-righteous tone: "Sister Ningning, Second Brother is currently in the ICU, Sixth Brother has been taken away and detained, his team is about to disband, and he has to pay huge breach of contract fees to advertisers. Don't you care about your family at all?"

She wanted to tarnish Lu Ning's image in front of Ji Mo.

We absolutely cannot let Lu Ning climb the social ladder and live a better life than her.

Lu Ning scoffed: "I severed ties with the Lu family long ago."

"Sister Ningning, how long are you going to keep sulking? Second Brother even hurt himself for you, doesn't your conscience hurt?"

Qin Xiang's performance, portraying a heartbroken and vulnerable character, did indeed evoke sympathy from some of the men present.

Soon, a man wearing a team uniform came to Qin Xiang's side: "Goddess Xiangxiang, you are just too kind. As an adopted daughter, you have given enough to the Lu family all this time."

Qin Xiang glanced at the burly man in front of her, and her eye twitched.

Who is this ugly man?

However, since he's willing to speak up for me, I might as well take advantage of it.

Qin Xiang wiped away her tears and looked at Lu Ning with a pitiful expression: "I know you hate me, but my second brother really cares about you. He even wanted to give you the company as compensation. Could you please go to the hospital to see him? I'm begging you."

Qin Xiang's protector was immediately heartbroken.

The protector of the flower started scolding Lu Ning: "Lu Ning, you are so heartless. You didn't even visit your own brother when he was sick and hospitalized. It was Xiang Xiang who took care of him."

“It is my duty to take care of my second brother, but I really hope that Lu Ning can go and see him.”

Qin Xiang wiped away her tears and looked at Ji Mo: "Young Master Ji, you and Sister Ningning are friends, can you talk to her?"

In that case, will Ji Mo be able to see through Lu Ning's ungrateful nature?

But she is a kind and filial person.

Ji Mo glanced at Lu Ning, but her expression was indifferent.

Ji Mo had also heard that Lu Ning had severed ties with her family, and that Lu Ning's older brothers favored an adopted girl, while Lu Ning was not doing so well.

On the day of the finals, he also heard firsthand how Lu Ning was suppressed and morally blackmailed by her older brother.

Ji Mo snorted coldly: "I do need to try to persuade him."

Qin Xiang immediately burst into laughter through her tears: "Young Master Ji, you're too kind. Thank you for helping me."

She said that no man could escape her acting skills.

"I want to advise Lu Ning to completely distance herself from your Lu family of treacherous relatives."

As Ji Mo spoke, he moved to the side in disgust, looking utterly repulsed.

Qin Xiang's expression froze. She hadn't expected Ji Mo to fall for it and even speak up for Lu Ning.

This is wrong!

Qin Xiang tried to argue, "Young Master Ji, I don't know what Sister Ningning said to you, but the Lu family will always have its doors open to her, and she will always be a member of the Lu family. That will never change."

The protector chimed in, "Xiangxiang is right, Lu Ning, you're a heartless ingrate."

Ji Mo stepped forward and shoved the chivalrous man: "Watch your mouth. You don't know anything and you're just slandering people. Be careful, or I'll beat you up, you hear me?"

Seeing this, Qin Xiang quickly stopped him: "Young Master Ji, don't take action for my sake."

"Who the hell is doing this for you? You're brain-dead. I heard it all clearly backstage at the finals that day. How you guys morally blackmailed Lu Ning. Stop pretending to be a good person."

After Ji Mo finished speaking, Qin Xiang could no longer maintain her composure.

Qin Xiang never expected that Ji Mo would overhear the entire conversation that day.

Qin Xiang forced herself to say, "Young Master Ji, you've really misunderstood us. Sister Ningning has always had a problem with us."

"With family members like you, let alone Lu Ning having a problem, I have a problem too."

Ji Mo rolled up his sleeves: "Get out of my sight right now."

Qin Xiang was very unwilling: "Sister Ningning, Second Brother really wanted to see you one last time. Do you really have to be so cruel?"

Ji Mo grabbed the champagne and splashed it at Qin Xiang: "Shut up, you white lotus."

Don't think he can't see through this woman's tricks.

He hates insincere people the most.

Qin Xiang screamed; she was wearing a new, very expensive dress today.

But she didn't dare to lose her temper with Ji Mo, after all, she couldn't afford to offend the Ji family.

She had no choice but to show weakness to the ugly man beside her, but the protector immediately became relentless: "Ji Mo, don't think you can bully people just because you have a status."

“Then I’ll do it myself.”

Lu Ning walked over with the champagne, staring at Qin Xiang: "Stop playing the moral blackmail game, stay away from me!"

Qin Xiang hid behind the protector, not wanting to lose face in front of Ji Mo.

In the end, Qin Xiang could only leave sheepishly for the time being, after all, she still needed to clean up the dress.

After Bai Lianhua left, Lu Ning finally put down the champagne.

She glanced at Ji Mo: "You don't need to get involved in this mess."

Outsiders, unaware of the inside story, would indeed think she was cold-hearted for not even seeing her brother one last time.

"I can't stand 'white lotus' types the most. Mo Shanshan's mother is a 'white lotus' type too. It's so annoying."

Ji Mo disliked Mo Shanshan's mother since childhood, but she was always her mother's best friend and had no way to get rid of the Mo family.

Besides, protecting his sister-in-law was something he should do.

Zhao Gao also came over: "Lu Ning, you don't need to take these people's words to heart. The Lu family is only clinging to you because they see that you are doing well now, and they want to bleed you dry."

“Yes, you must stay away from families like the Lu family that only know how to morally blackmail their accomplices.”

Responding to their words of comfort, Lu Ning nodded: "I know."

That's what she did her whole life.

Lu Ning later got to know many people in the industry and exchanged contact information with them.

Someone asked Lu Ning, "Miss Lemon, are you single right now?"

Lu Ning said, "I'm single right now."

"You actually beat me to it! Lemon Goddess, I'm your fan. If you don't have a boyfriend, how about considering me?"

"Miss Lemon, look at me too."

Upon seeing this, Ji Mo rushed over in a panic: "Stay away from her, and don't you dare make a move on her!"

This is his sister-in-law!

"Ji Mo, that's not fair of you. Everyone should compete fairly."

"Get lost, get lost! In short, none of you have a chance. Be careful, or I'll turn on you."

Ji Mo chased the group of kids away, forbidding them from bothering his sister-in-law, otherwise they would suffer a terrible fate if his brother took notice of them.

Lu Ning breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "Thank you."

"It's okay, I'll protect you. I'm a professional bodyguard."

Lu Ning glanced at Ji Mo, thought for a moment, and explained, "Last time I asked you if you would withdraw from the competition because of someone, don't misunderstand, I didn't mean anything by it."

"I know, I know, you're not that kind of person, I believe you."

Since his brother had promised not to listen to his sister-in-law and make him withdraw from the competition, he felt relieved.

Seeing that Ji Mo truly didn't take it to heart, Lu Ning finally felt relieved.

She put down her champagne glass and said, "I'm going to the restroom."

Lu Ning lifted her skirt and went to the restroom. When she came out of the stall, she saw Qin Xiang standing outside with a stern face.

Lu Ning completely ignored Qin Xiang and washed her hands.

Qin Xiang was furious and lowered her voice: "Lu Ning, I really underestimated you. You actually hooked up with the young master of the Ji family. Aren't you afraid that the eldest son of the Gu family will find out?"

The fact that Ji Mo was so protective of Lu Ning just now clearly shows that he has feelings for her.

Why is Lu Ning so popular?

Lu Ning shook the water off her hands and ignored the white lotus flower.

But as she walked out, Lu Bei blocked her way: "Do you think you can climb up to the Ji family's social standing? Come back with me!"
