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

Lu Ning kicked the slippers away.

Her voice was cold: "Give me your phone."

Lu Nanfeng swallowed the bitterness, then changed the subject: "What would you like to eat? Are you feeling unwell?"

Lu Ning felt as if she had punched cotton, feeling utterly powerless.

She looked up at Lu Nanfeng: "Why can't any of you understand what I'm saying?"

He kept saying he wanted to make it up to her, but what he gave her wasn't what she wanted.

"Ningning, I know you're angry with your fourth brother, and you know he's always had a bad temper. Don't hold it against him. When you were little, your fourth brother did everything he could to avenge you when you were bullied. Have you forgotten that?"

Lu Nanfeng's earnest explanation was simply to prevent Lu Ning from misunderstanding the fourth brother.

After all, Lu Ning already dislikes the Lu family very much, and he doesn't want to continue like this.

Lu Ning scoffed, "Help me get revenge?"

"Yes, I guess you were too young to remember back then."

"I vaguely remember that he had a bad temper and a strong sense of self-esteem, so he couldn't get along with any of his classmates. Those people couldn't beat him, so they could only bully me."

Lu Ning remembered how much bullying she endured when she was a child.

It sounds nice that Fourth Brother was standing up for him, but these people only came to cause trouble for him because of Fourth Brother.

But she felt sorry for her brother, and even when she was bullied, she still liked to follow behind him.

Because apart from her, no one else was willing to talk to Fourth Brother.

Furthermore, after Qin Xiang came to the Lu family, with Bai Lianhua's instigation, her popularity at school plummeted, and she was constantly isolated.

Unfortunately, she couldn't see things clearly in her past life, and instead felt happy that her fourth brother stood up for her.

Lu Nanfeng's expression faltered: "I didn't know it was like this."

Lu Ning lowered her eyelids.

But at that time, she was the youngest.

The eldest, second, and third brothers were busy with work, the fifth brother was aloof, and the sixth brother was the fourth brother's little follower.

She could only follow behind her fourth and sixth brothers.

Even though she knew that the people who had been beaten by her fourth brother would eventually come and bully her, she was still willing to do so.

She only felt important because her fourth brother would fight back for her.

Lu Nanfeng spoke cautiously: "I've already spoken to your fourth brother, and he won't dare to do it again."

Lu Ning said with a sneer, "Your behavior is no different from Lu Bei's."

"Ningning, I'm worried about potential long-term health problems. Let the doctor check you out before you leave. Will you have dinner with me now?"

"not good."

Lu Ning raised her hand and knocked Lu Nanfeng unconscious; taking care of one person was no problem for her.

She helped Lu Nanfeng to the hospital bed and suddenly wondered if he had lost a lot of weight.

I always felt that his body was very light, like he was just bones.

Lu Ning thought about it for a moment, then let go and took her phone back.

She saw that Ji Chiqian had made several phone calls and sent messages.

Lu Ning put on her shoes and left the ward; she didn't want to stay there.

But as soon as she stepped outside, she saw a large number of bodyguards in black standing there.

Lu Ning's footsteps froze at the doorway. She gritted her teeth and walked straight over.

But the bodyguards swarmed around her: "Miss, you can't leave."

"Since you're calling me Miss, then move aside."

"I'm sorry, Miss."

Lu Ning was eventually helped back to her hospital room.

Secretary Zhang rushed over carrying a thermos and said to the bodyguards, "All of you, get out. Who gave you permission to lay a hand on the young lady?"

Lu Ning looked at Secretary Zhang with some impatience: "Let me go."

"Young Miss, I would like to let you leave, but my words have no effect."

Secretary Zhang sighed: "Miss, the Fourth Young Master did go a bit too far. You can leave after the boss wakes up. Oh, boss, what's wrong?"

When Secretary Zhang realized that Lu Nanfeng was not responding, his face turned pale with fright.

"Miss, call a doctor quickly! Hurry! The boss must be seriously ill and has fainted."

Lu Ning coughed and said, "No need to call a doctor."

"Young Miss, you must be joking."

"I'm not kidding, I'm the one who knocked him unconscious."

Lu Ning looked a little awkward: "He took my phone and wouldn't let me leave."

Secretary Zhang breathed a sigh of relief: "The boss doesn't not want you to leave, he just wants you to stay a little longer."

"But they never asked me what I wanted, never asked me if I wanted to stay with them?"

Secretary Zhang smiled bitterly: "I know everything. No matter how I tried to persuade the boss before, he wouldn't listen. What's the use of regretting it now?"

Lu Ning knew she couldn't leave, and she felt very frustrated.

Not long after, Lu Nanfeng, the second brother, woke up and saw Lu Ning sitting on the sofa. He immediately showed a look of surprise and delight: "Ningning, you haven't left yet?"

Lu Ning said coldly, "I'm going back to rest."

"Okay, have something to eat first, and I'll have Secretary Zhang take you home later."

"I have no appetite while eating with you, and I just want to go back now."

Lu Ning had completely lost her patience.

Lu Nanfeng felt a little sad. He knew that it was Lu Ning who had attacked him earlier.

Secretary Zhang quickly advised, "Boss, the Fourth Young Master's men are guarding outside. You should ask Miss to go back. Forcing her to stay here will only backfire."

There's no such thing as forcing someone to be kind to you.

Lu Nanfeng finally nodded: "Okay, Ningning, I'll personally take you back."

"unnecessary."

“If I don’t see you off, you won’t be able to leave. You know your fourth brother’s temper.”

Lu Ning had no choice but to compromise.

But this feeling is very unpleasant.

Lu Ning and Lu Nanfeng walked out of the ward together, and as expected, the bodyguards didn't dare to stop them.

Secretary Zhang personally drove her home. Now that Fourth Brother knows where she lives, there's no point in hiding it anymore.

Throughout the journey, Lu Nanfeng tried to find an opportunity to talk to her.

But Lu Ning kept looking out the window without saying a word.

Lu Nanfeng sighed. He remembered that Lu Ning used to talk a lot.

Whenever he was tired from work, Lu Ning would chatter around him, telling him about the funny things that had happened recently, to cheer him up.

He couldn't understand how he and his sister had ended up like this.

The vehicle arrived outside the residential area.

Lu Nanfeng carefully spoke up: "Ningning, I will keep Qin Xiang away from you and prevent her from hurting you again."

"Is Qin Xiang the only person who hurt me?"

Lu Ning gave Lu Nanfeng a mocking look, then got out of the car and left.

But she immediately spotted a familiar figure: "Ji Chiqian?"

When Ji Chiqian turned around and saw Lu Ning, he put down his phone and hurriedly walked towards her.

The man asked with concern, "Why aren't you answering your phone or replying to your messages?"

"There's been a bit of an unexpected situation."

Lu Ning never expected that upon returning home, she would be forcibly taken to the hospital by her fourth brother.

Ji Chiqian gave Lu Ning a deep look, sensing that she wasn't telling the truth.

When Lu Nanfeng saw Ji Chiqian, he quickly got out of the car and chased after him.

The two men exchanged a glance, both harboring hostility towards each other.

Lu Ning coldly said to Lu Nanfeng, "You can leave now."

“Ningning, I know that Second Brother was blind before, blinded by greed, and did wrong things.”

Ji Chiqian's tone was sarcastic: "You call talking sincerity? That adopted daughter is still living happily in the Lu family, isn't she?"

“You all know that the surveillance footage was destroyed, and my brother doesn’t believe what I’m saying.”

Lu Nanfeng was somewhat embarrassed: "Ningning, I can't drive Qin Xiang away now. After all, her father died to save my parents and even saved your life."

Ji Chiqian said coldly, "Are you so sure that the person who saved Lu Ning back then was that driver?"
