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

Lu Dongyou was furious: "What kind of attitude is this?"

Upon hearing her elder brother's words, Lu Ning retorted, "What grievance did she suffer for me?"

“You offended Madam Gu just now. Don’t think that just because Madam Ji is backing you up, you can deny it.”

"Do you think I'm like Qin Xiang, abandoning the uncomfortable Madam Ji to please the outside Madam Gu?"

Lu Ning's tone was sharp: "If that's the case, then you've completely offended the Ji family. Do you still want to stay in Yunjing?"

Lu Nanfeng chimed in, "Ningning is right. We owe her a lot today. Qin Xiang only knows how to cause trouble and can't do anything right. She deserved what she got for it!"

Seeing Qin Xiang's aggrieved expression, Lu Dongyou said coldly, "This matter is decided."

"I said I disagree!"

Lu Ning's attitude was also very firm.

Lu Dongyou looked at her: "Whether you agree or not is not up to you. The foundation hasn't been handed over to you yet. Just hand it over to Xiangxiang this time, and from now on, you'll have the final say on everything about the foundation. Is that alright?"

Upon hearing her elder brother's words, Qin Xiang's lips curled into a cold smile; she was not about to give up the tempting prize that was practically within her grasp.

Lu Nanfeng stood on Lu Ning's side: "Big brother, what is this if not favoritism?"

"You all say I'm biased, but this is what I call being fair! I'm still the one who calls the shots in the foundation!"

Lu Dongyou couldn't stand Lu Ning's arrogant attitude and wanted to suppress her personality.

The door to the lounge was pushed open.

Ji Chiqian walked in with a cold face. He had just heard the arguing coming from inside the room.

He walked straight up to Lu Ning and took her hand.

Lu Ning was surprised that he actually came.

Ji Chiqian turned to look at Lu Dongyou: "Your so-called impartiality is just making Lu Ning back down and suffer losses. It seems you're crippled, liking to play both sides like this. No wonder you're the Chen family's live-in son-in-law!"

Lu Ning was stunned; those words were so venomous.

It was like stabbing the eldest brother in the heart—precise and ruthless.

When Lu Dongyou heard the words "son-in-law who lives with his wife's family," he flew into a rage: "Say that again if you dare!"

He has always been strong-willed throughout his life, especially in front of his family, where he has always maintained the demeanor of a patriarch.

He had never mentioned the matter of being a live-in son-in-law to his family.

He felt extremely insulted that this man from humble beginnings had actually said it!

Lu Ning stood directly in front of Ji Chiqian: "I will draft the contract tomorrow and transfer the fund to my name."

"You're dreaming."

“If you refuse to cooperate, then the sex scene between Qin Xiang and the housekeeper that I recorded that night will appear on the internet.”

Lu Ning's words were like poison, instantly seizing the lifeline of Lu Dongyou and Qin Xiang!

Lu Dongyou finally came to his senses and suppressed his anger: "Fine, but Xiangxiang will still handle the arrangements for the follow-up activities funded by the donation."

Lu Ning said coldly, "But I will keep a close watch on things to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation and having a lot of money suddenly appear in their personal account."

"I won't, I will definitely do it well, you can check my account anytime."

Qin Xiang immediately retorted, as if she felt guilty.

But she can transfer the money to her father later, so Lu Ning won't find out.

After Lu Ning realized that she had achieved her goal, she stopped asking about the foundation. After all, the bait had been laid and all that was left was to wait for the big fish to take the bait.

She looked up at Ji Chiqian and said, "Let's go."

"Stop! Who said you could leave? Now that he's here, let's get this straight."

Lu Dongyou looked at Ji Chiqian with disdain in his eyes: "I won't waste my time. You are not good enough for my sister. Don't even think about getting resources or benefits from her."

"Mr. Lu Dongyou! My affairs are none of your business!"

Lu Ning strongly defended Ji Chiqian and wouldn't allow her older brother to say such things about him.

Ji Chiqian remained calm. He took Lu Ning's hand and comforted her. Since Lu Dongyou said that, he probably didn't know who he was.

Ji Chiqian looked at Lu Dongyou and said, "Do you think everyone is like you, trying to climb the social ladder by relying on women?"

These words made Lu Dongyou so angry that his face turned red and he couldn't utter a single word for a long time!

Lu Ning ignored Lu Dongyou and left the lounge with Ji Chiqian.

Lu Nanfeng originally wanted to chase after him, but Lu Dongyou was so angry that he fainted, so he had no choice but to stay and take care of him.

Outside, Lu Ning glanced at the event venue and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I'm worried, so I came to check."

Ji Chiqian carefully observed her expression, and even after finding that it was no different from usual, his heart was still in suspense.

He couldn't help but ask, "What are your plans regarding the foundation?"

Lu Ning continued, "I was just acting. The more reluctant I am to part with her, the more Qin Xiang will believe me."

She couldn't be happier that Qin Xiang used the funds raised today.

Ji Chiqian had naturally thought of this as well, but he was too focused on other things to consider this point.

"Two wealthy ladies have come today, Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Gu. I guess they came because of the Chen family."

Lu Ning suddenly looked at him: "I only found out today that I saw Mrs. Ji once at the hospital, do you remember?"

Ji Chiqian's expression was a little unnatural: "I remember."

“She came upstairs with me, seemingly to avoid someone, but as soon as we got out of the elevator, she turned and ran away.”

Lu Ning didn't think much about it at the time, but now that she thinks about it, it seems a bit strange.

At this moment, Ji Chiqian felt like a tightrope walker, who could fall into an abyss at any moment.

Now that his stepmother knows Lu Ning is the girl from the car accident years ago, he knows he can't keep this a secret for long.

He hesitated for a moment and said, "Lu Ning, what do you think of the difference in status your older brother mentioned earlier?"

He worried that if she found out his identity, she would be angry that he had hidden it from her because he was afraid she was materialistic.

Lu Ning tiptoed and covered his mouth: "I don't care."

Ji Chiqian held her hand: "Listen to me first."

"No, listen to me. I don't care who you are, because I like you as a person."

Lu Ning cupped his face in her hands: "You don't need to take my older brother's words to heart. None of them are as important as you."

Ji Chiqian's heart seemed to be instantly filled with something.

He was deeply moved.

He finally mustered his courage: "Lu Ning, actually I am..."

Lu Ning turned her head and looked at the distance: "Is that Ji Mo?"

Ji Chiqian turned around and indeed saw him hiding behind the flowers, but now the flowers had all been removed, and the kid was still standing there, which led to Lu Ning seeing him.

He gritted his teeth inwardly. Was this brat born to be his nemesis?

Lu Ning walked over and stood behind Ji Mo, wanting to see what he was doing so engrossed in.

Ji Chiqian kicked him, making Ji Mo grimace in pain: "Who dares to kick me? I...I..."

When Ji Mo saw Ji Chiqian, he immediately shut up like a little chick.

Lu Ning was startled when she saw Ji Chiqian kick Ji Mo, but Ji Mo didn't seem angry.

Do these two have a good relationship?

Lu Ning looked at Ji Mo: "What are you doing here?"

"I... I needed to talk to my mom, but when I got there I found she was already gone."

This was the only excuse Timo could come up with.

Lu Ning also knew that Madam Ji had come to the charity sale today: "I want to thank Madam Ji for helping me out of that predicament today. I'd like to treat her to a meal later to thank her."

"That's a good thing, anyway, we'll all be family in the future."

Lu Ning was both amused and exasperated: "What do you mean, 'family'? Don't joke around."

"Hasn't my brother told you yet?"

Ji Mo glanced at Ji Chiqian, assuming that his older brother had already told Lu Ning.

Judging from this, they haven't said anything yet?

At that moment, Ji Chiqian's palms were sweating, and he looked at Lu Ning nervously: "I have something to tell you."
