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

Madam Ji's words carried considerable weight, and their meaning was quite clear.

Lu Dongyou's face immediately turned ashen. Now, the Lu family couldn't even afford to offend the Gu family, let alone the Ji family.

Everyone present watched this scene, and no one dared to speak.

After all, no one can afford to offend the Ji family.

Qin Xiang was almost in tears, and said in a choked voice, "Brother, I didn't know this was Madam Ji. Lu Ning could have reminded me, but she didn't say anything."

If Lu Ning had reminded her, how could she have offended Madam Ji?

Lu Dongyou then looked at Lu Ning: "Why didn't you say anything?"

Otherwise, things wouldn't have escalated to this point!

Lu Ning sneered: "You actually dare to question me?"

She had only just learned that this elegant lady was actually Madam Ji, Ji Mo's mother.

As expected, the Lu family hasn't changed at all compared to before.

Madam Ji blocked Lu Ning's way and coldly said to Lu Dongyou, "Why are you yelling at her? She doesn't even know who I am, and she hasn't done anything wrong!"

Lu Ning looked at Madam Ji standing in front of her with surprise, feeling a little touched.

Mrs. Ji turned to look at Lu Ning, her tone much gentler: "I wasn't feeling well earlier, and she helped me to the lounge. On the contrary, your so-called adopted sister kept stopping me. How ill-mannered!"

Lu Dongyou's expression turned pale and then purple, and he didn't dare to say a word.

Qin Xiang dared not speak further, and could only whisper, "I also wanted to deliver the food to Madam Gu as soon as possible."

"Don't drag me into this, it wasn't me who asked you to do these things."

Madam Gu quickly denied it, and said politely to Madam Ji, "The reason I did that just now was to test the attitude of the Lu family. As expected, they are just like the rumors say, favoring their sister who is not related to them by blood and abusing their own sister."

Lu Dongyou immediately explained, "Madam Gu, we didn't."

"Wasn't the assault incident that was all over the internet the work of your Lu family?"

Madam Gu's tone was sarcastic: "So many people were watching today. How did you defend a sister who isn't related to you by blood? I heard she's just a driver's daughter. Anyone who didn't know better would think she was a princess's daughter."

Lu Dongyou's expression turned colder: "My parents died in a car accident before. Xiangxiang's father died while trying to save my parents, but the fuel tank exploded. That's why she was raised by the Lu family."

After hearing this explanation, Madam Ji felt even more sorry for Lu Ning.

If they're this biased now, who knows how they abused Lu Ning when she was little.

Qin Xiang then put on a pitiful expression and said to Madam Ji, "I've been an orphan since I was little. Sister Ningning has never liked me. She thinks I stole everything from her, but I've never really thought that way."

Madam Ji raised her hand and slapped him across the face.

Qin Xiang was stunned by the beating.

Madam Ji said with a stern face, "Don't try to play the victim in front of me, I won't fall for it! If the Lu family wants to repay a debt of gratitude, there are plenty of ways. I've never seen anyone repay a debt by abusing their own sister."

Are the Lu family members mentally ill?

Qin Xiang glanced at Lu Dongyou subconsciously, but this time Lu Dongyou didn't say anything, as if he hadn't seen her being beaten.

Madam Ji turned to look at Lu Ning: "You've been wronged today. How do you want to resolve this?"

Lu Ning was a little surprised that Madam Ji was being so kind to her.

She thought for a moment and said, "Let's leave this here for now; the charity sale has already started."

This matter actually wasted a lot of time.

Mrs. Ji then remembered: "Oh right, I almost forgot, let's participate in the event first, and we can talk about this matter after it's over."

Lu Ning immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone took their seats, as if the conflict had never happened.

Madam Ji glanced at Lu Ning and said, "Go ahead and get busy."

Lu Ning then walked to the side.

Lu Dongyou led Qin Xiang over and said in a low voice, "Thanks to you just now, you did a great job."

Lu Ning remained expressionless and didn't say a word.

Lu Dongyou wanted to say something, but Lu Nanfeng stopped him: "Brother, I think you'd better not say anything. Don't you think Qin Xiang is innocent? Then you should think about how to explain things to Madam Ji later."

Qin Xiang explained unwillingly, "But I didn't know she was Madam Ji."

"Even if she weren't Mrs. Ji, but just an ordinary guest, she's still someone we invited. How could you keep calling her an 'old woman' and be so rude? No wonder Mrs. Gu said our Lu family has no manners!"

Lu Nanfeng, who was standing nearby, saw everything clearly and knew what was going on.

Qin Xiang was thoroughly scolded and couldn't refute his words at all. She could only look at Lu Dongyou and say, "Brother, I didn't mean to."

"Xiangxiang, how can you treat today's guests with prejudice? No wonder Mrs. Gu looks down on you. You grew up in the Lu family, after all. Look at how Lu Ning handled things today!"

Lu Dongyou was still shaken: "Luckily, Lu Ning helped Madam Ji to rest, otherwise our entire Lu family would have been implicated by you! How could you be so stupid!"

Qin Xiang was so scolded that she cried and dared not refute Lu Dongyou's words.

Lu Dongyou looked at Lu Ning beside him, his tone much better: "Today's activities are all yours. You must handle things well with Madam Ji, otherwise this foundation will never have another chance."

"Are you worried now?"

Lu Ning raised her eyelids, her eyes filled with mockery: "Don't you believe Qin Xiang's words? You asked her to clean up the mess, it's not like I made it."

Lu Dongyou's face turned ashen: "What's the use of saying these things now? Do you want to just watch the charity foundation that Mom and Dad established disappear?"

"Yes, Ningning, we need to put aside our prejudices and solve the problem at hand first."

Lu Nanfeng stepped in to smooth things over: "As for Qin Xiang, I believe that my brother should have figured out what she did today and will punish her."

Lu Dongyou nodded immediately: "I will give you an explanation after the event is over."

Lu Ning glanced at Qin Xiang over there; now was a good opportunity.

A cold smile played on her lips: "I have only one condition: kick her out of the Lu family."

Qin Xiang readily agreed: "I'll move out then."

Now that Lu Ning has returned to the Lu family, her life is getting harder and harder. She might as well move out and live more freely.

"But Qin Xiang cannot take a single penny from the Lu family; she can only leave the Lu family with nothing."

After Lu Ning finished speaking, Qin Xiang's expression changed: "Why?"

If she doesn't take anything with her, what will she eat and use?

Lu Nanfeng said sarcastically, "Qin Xiang, have you forgotten your past? Have you forgotten how poor you were before you came to the Lu family?"

Qin Xiang hadn't forgotten, which is why she desperately wanted to replace Lu Ning, because she didn't want to go back to living a hard life.

"Alright, we'll talk about all this after it's over."

Lu Dongyou looked at Lu Ning and said, "If you want to see today's event ruined, then go ahead."

He was certain that Lu Ning wouldn't do that.

After all, although Lu Ning has a bad temper, she is always filial to her parents.

Lu Ning didn't speak, but she already had a plan in mind.

After the charity sale ended, Mrs. Ji was among the recipients of the largest donation.

Lu Ning took a look and saw that the charity sale had raised more than ten million yuan, of which Mrs. Ji donated eight million yuan.

Seeing how generous Mrs. Ji was, the others probably followed suit and donated a little more.

After the event, there was a group photo session.

Everyone wanted to stand by Madam Ji's side.

Madam Ji beckoned to Lu Ning: "Come and stand next to me."

Qin Xiang glanced at the scene and then brazenly stood next to Madam Gu.

Madam Gu frowned: "Don't stand next to me. I don't want to stand with someone who has no manners."

Qin Xiang was so angry that her face turned green.

What makes Lu Ning stand by Madam Ji's side?
