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

Lu Ning noticed the lady's loss of composure: "Yes, I am indeed a member of the Lu family."

Madam Ji pressed further, "Is Lu Dongyou your elder brother?"

Lu Ning nodded. Although she was reluctant to admit it, she could only nod because Qin Xiang was there.

Madam Ji was instantly left speechless, unsure whether to laugh or cry.

The girl Ji Chiqian likes is actually a survivor of the car accident years ago!

What kind of tragic fate is this?!

Lu Ning quickly helped the wealthy woman up: "What's wrong?"

Qin Xiang, standing to the side, said angrily, "Lu Ning, didn't I tell you to bring back the desserts that were taken away? I still have to entertain Madam Gu, I don't have time to go myself!"

Lu Ning ignored Qin Xiang and helped the lady up, saying, "Let me help you to the lounge to rest for a while."

"Lu Ning, are you deaf? Madam Gu is the honored guest we are entertaining today!"

Lu Ning shoved Qin Xiang away: "Get out of here."

Qin Xiang fell to the ground, then got up and went to complain to Lu Dongyou. This time, Lu Ning was definitely doomed.

After all, the eldest brother also values ​​maintaining his relationship with Madam Gu.

Lu Ning helped Madam Ji to the lounge.

She quickly poured a cup of hot water: "Are you sure you don't need to go to the hospital?"

"No, I don't need it. I just have a bit of low blood sugar."

Madam Ji made up a random excuse; at that moment, she was extremely shocked and couldn't calm down at all.

She never expected to run into the family from the car accident years ago again.

What I never expected was that the girl Ji Chiqian liked was that family's daughter!

Lu Ning quickly brought over some snacks and placed them on the table: "You can eat something to calm down."

Mrs. Ji's eyes were a little red: "Thank you, young lady, we really are destined to meet."

She hadn't originally planned to come, but since Madam Gu was coming, and she had nothing else to do, she decided to come and take a look.

Unexpectedly, the son-in-law that the Chen family found was actually the family that had been in the car accident years ago.

Lu Ning smiled and said, "Today's charity sale was prepared a bit hastily. I hope you can forgive any shortcomings in our hospitality."

"Did you organize today's event?"

"Not entirely. I just came at the last minute to make some adjustments. After all, this is a charity fund set up by my parents, and I can't let others laugh at me."

Mrs. Ji's hand trembled slightly: "So this was founded by your parents. I've never heard of it before."

“My parents are from City A. They love doing charity work. However, they passed away in a car accident many years ago, and the foundation was essentially put on hold until it started operating again in the last two years.”

Upon hearing the words "car accident," Mrs. Ji felt as if her heart was stuffed with cotton.

Finally, Madam Ji spoke up: "How have you been doing since you lost your parents? I heard that your brother has been very good to his only sister and even sent her to the business school at Yunnan University."

Lu Ning replied with a wry smile, "The person who was sent to the business school wasn't me, but my adopted sister, the daughter of the driver who caused the car accident. You've already met her."

"How could this be?"

Mrs. Ji suddenly remembered the time she ran into Lu Ning at the hospital. Oh right, she remembered the rumors about Lu Ning.

The last time this girl was hospitalized was because her brother beat her, which caused quite a stir.

At that time, Madam Ji thought the girl's family relationships were complicated, but she never expected it to be like this.

Madam Ji felt a pang of sadness: "Then haven't you had a very difficult time all these years?"

"That's all in the past."

Just as Lu Ning finished speaking, she heard a conversation coming from outside, which she guessed was Lu Dongyou arriving.

She stood up and said, "Then you should rest first. I'll go out and get busy."

As Lu Ning walked out of the lounge, she saw Lu Dongyou and Qin Xiang walking over.

Qin Xiang preemptively struck: "Big brother, am I right? Lu Ning is slacking off here. I asked her to bring over the desserts that Madam Gu likes, but she just wouldn't. As a result, Madam Gu got angry and thought our event was shabby, like beggars asking for money."

Lu Dongyou's expression was not good: "Lu Ning, we cannot offend Madam Gu."

“I know, but it’s also important that someone is sick. I told Qin Xiang to get the dessert herself.”

"Sister Ningning, didn't you say I couldn't interfere with this event? Those people don't listen to anything I say."

Qin Xiang deliberately added fuel to the fire: "Big brother, I meant well and was thinking of our family, but Sister Ningning only cares about an ordinary woman, losing the big picture for a small gain."

Lu Dongyou frowned: "Lu Ning, you were wrong this time. Xiangxiang was right too. We really can't offend Madam Gu. Go and send the dessert over right away."

"understood."

Lu Ning didn't want to make a big deal out of this, after all, it was a charity foundation established by her parents.

Lu Ning turned around and walked out.

Qin Xiang's eyes were filled with smugness. Now let's see how Lu Ning will handle this!

Lu Dongyou hesitated for a moment: "Who is in the lounge?"

"Brother, it's not important, it's nothing serious anyway. Let's hurry up and go out, Madam Gu is already waiting."

Qin Xiang pulled Lu Dongyou out directly. Most of the women in the lounge were not important figures. How could they compare to Madam Gu?

Inside the lounge, Mrs. Ji stood behind the door and overheard the conversation outside.

She could tell from the Lu family's attitude towards Lu Ning that they were clearly biased.

Madam Ji never expected that Lu Ning was actually the girl from back then.

Madam Ji couldn't help but call Ji Chiqian, who answered quickly: "Son, I have a question for you. Do you know who Lu Ning is?"

Ji Chiqian fell silent after hearing this.

He answered slowly, "She is the girl I like."

Mrs. Ji couldn't hold back any longer: "Don't lie to me, you know, right?"

Ji Chiqian's voice was deep: "That's not important."

"How can it not matter! Of all people to like, you had to like that girl. There's no way you two can be together, unless she doesn't care about her parents!"

Madam Ji felt that Lu Ning was not a heartless child, and that Ji Chiqian must not have told the girl the truth.

Mrs. Ji's voice trembled: "Lu Ning is a good girl, you'll hurt her by doing this."

"I will protect her."

"You can't protect her; you have no idea what girls are thinking."

After Mrs. Ji finished speaking, she hung up the phone. She covered her face and couldn't speak for a long time.

Her life has been smooth sailing, and even her stepson is so outstanding and filial.

But there was one mistake she made that led to the current consequences.

When Madam Ji thought about how Lu Ning had been treated unfairly since childhood, and even how she had been beaten and hospitalized by her brother, she felt so sad that she could hardly breathe.

Good heavens, you really know how to joke!

Outside, the charity sale is about to begin.

Lu Ning brought out the desserts and placed them next to everyone.

But when they arrived in front of Madam Gu, she deliberately made things difficult for them: "You dare to bring out something like this to entertain people?"

Qin Xiang lowered her voice: "Lu Ning, didn't I tell you to serve it separately for Madam Gu? Why did you serve one to everyone?"

Madam Gu was not in the same social class as the rest of the people present.

Lu Ning remained unfazed: "I think everyone should give it a try."

How could they possibly serve a separate portion to Madam Gu? Wouldn't that be telling everyone that the Lu family discriminates against the poor and favors the rich?

"Keep this cheap food for yourself!"

Mrs. Gu threw the dessert at Lu Ning and stood up abruptly: "This is boring. If it weren't for the Chen family's sake, I wouldn't have come at all!"

Lu Dongyou quickly stepped forward to stop her, then turned back and ordered Lu Ning, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and apologize to Madam Gu!"
