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

Seeing Lu Dongyou's expression, Lu Ning felt a little relieved.

It seems her guess was correct.

He deliberately didn't answer the phone back then because he didn't want to bear the blame for amputation.

Even if Sixth Brother exposes him, Big Brother, with his personality, would never admit it.

If we want her to back down for Lu Wu and let Qin Xiang go, then shouldn't Lu Dongyou also have to pay a price?

Lu Dongyou swallowed his anger: "Lu Ning, so many years have passed since that happened. Is it necessary to keep bringing it up? If you want to make amends, I can give you something else."

Heh, is this an attempt to escape?

"I don't need any other compensation."

Lu Ning said in a low voice, "Mr. Lu Dongyou, after all, you said that we are all members of the Lu family, and it is no big deal to sacrifice something for the family. Now it's your turn to sacrifice."

In the past, when I asked her to make sacrifices and concessions, she spoke very eloquently.

Now she also wants to see if Lu Dongyou can live up to the big promises he once made when it's his turn.

Lu Dongyou gripped the seat tightly: "Haven't I sacrificed enough for the Lu family?"

"That's something you should sacrifice. Besides, Qin Xiang's father was kind to the Lu family. What's a little sacrifice for you? You said you should be grateful and repay kindness."

Lu Dongyou was so angry he almost vomited blood.

He had said those words, but he never thought of using them to restrain himself.

Lu Ning's lips curled into a sneer: "These are my conditions. You'd better give me an answer as soon as possible before the police formally begin their investigation."

She said those words, turned around, got into her car, and drove away.

Lu Dongyou was so angry that he cursed loudly, but in the end he was helpless and could only watch as Lu Ning got into a taxi and left.

He was furious: "I just don't understand, is Lu Ning really my biological sister? Why does she keep making things difficult for me?"

Secretary Zhang in the passenger seat turned around: "Boss, Miss Lu wasn't the one who caused the trouble, but in the end, she's the one who has to give in and back down. Anyone would feel uncomfortable in that situation."

Secretary Zhang is now working alongside Lu Dongyou, a move specifically arranged by the second boss to keep an eye on the Lu family and prevent them from doing anything to harm Lu Ning.

Lu Dongyou fell silent.

Secretary Zhang continued, "Boss, since Miss Lu is the real sister, it seems a bit strange that you treated Qin Xiang so well before."

"You do not understand."

Lu Dongyou felt a headache coming on when he thought about Qin Xiang's identity.

So many years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Now that the fifth brother actually likes Qin Xiang, this matter is even more difficult to handle.

-

Lu Ning took a car directly to the gym.

She changed her clothes and went to the boxing room alone, where she started punching the punching bag randomly.

If it weren't for forcing the people behind Qin Xiang to show themselves, she should have completely severed ties with the Lu family today.

But since she hasn't found Qin Xiang's father yet, she can only endure it for the time being.

Lu Ning felt very aggrieved. Her mind was filled with memories of what happened in her past life, and her emotions were in turmoil.

She never expected that Lu Wu would actually like Qin Xiang.

Does my older brother also like Qin Xiang?

Don't you want your hands anymore?

Suddenly a cold voice came, and someone held down the sandbag.

Lu Ning looked up, panting, and when she saw Ji Chiqian, a look of surprise appeared in her eyes: "You're back?"

These past two days, she knew Ji Chiqian was away on a business trip, so she didn't tell him what had happened to the Lu family.

She felt happy when she saw Ji Chiqian.

Lu Ning stepped forward and hugged him, deliberately wiping the sweat from her forehead onto his white shirt.

Ji Chiqian noticed her little actions but didn't make a fuss about it.

He reached out and hugged her. Neither of them spoke, enjoying the tranquility of the moment.

Lu Ning leaned against him, her breath filled with his scent, which made her feel inexplicably calm.

She closed her eyes, and her earlier agitation had subsided considerably.

Sure enough, she really liked this man.

Ji Chiqian's mood improved considerably. During his business trip these past two days, he had been thinking about Lu Ning constantly.

He learned about what had happened to the Lu family from Riemann and rushed back anxiously.

But Lu Ning still didn't tell him anything.

He understands her personality, and he understands her stubbornness and persistence, but he still feels sorry for her working so hard.

Ji Chiqian couldn't help but sigh: "Why are you in a bad mood?"

"It's all because of the Lu family."

Lu Ning held him tightly, the sound of his heartbeat filling her ears.

Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Ji Chiqian didn't ask any further questions and let her hug him.

After an unknown amount of time, once Lu Ning had completely calmed down, she finally let go of his hand and glanced at him somewhat embarrassedly.

She reached out and pinched his cheek. Even after two days apart, he was still as handsome as ever.

Just looking at them makes me feel good.

Ji Chiqian held her hand, took off her gloves, and rubbed her wrist: "Don't use so much force in the future, your wrist will hurt."

"how do you know?"

I watched from the side for a while.

Ji Chiqian called Lu Ning immediately after getting off the plane, but no one answered. He then asked the gym and found out that she was there.

He saw Lu Ning desperately hitting the sandbag and knew she had something on her mind.

He didn't stop her immediately, but waited until Lu Ning had vented her anger before interrupting her.

Lu Ning was resting on the ground when she saw Ji Chiqian use a massage gun to relax her muscles.

She enjoyed it without a care in the world.

An hour later, Ji Chiqian put down the massage gun and looked at her: "Are you hungry?"

"Kind of."

"What would you like to eat? If there's nothing you'd like, let's go to the pear orchard."

Ji Chiqian usually likes to eat at Liyuan Restaurant.

Lu Ning nodded, then suddenly remembered something: "There's something I haven't told you. Didn't we have a new roommate recently?"

"Yes, you mentioned that your new roommate has difficulty walking."

After Ji Chiqian finished speaking, he suddenly looked at Lu Ning and asked, "The Chen family?"

"You're so smart. What a coincidence! Your new roommate is the eldest daughter of the Chen family, and also my older brother's fiancée."

Lu Ning didn't think too much about it at first, after all, there are so many people with the surname Chen, and Chen Guoguo also has the surname Chen.

But it just so happened.

Ji Chiqian couldn't help but become wary: "What does the Chen family want to do?"

“I don’t know either, but Li Man said that the Chen family made this arrangement perhaps to help me break off my relationship with the Chen family in advance. But I didn’t expect my relationship with the Lu family to deteriorate so quickly.”

Ji Chiqian also felt that Riemann's words were not wrong.

Lu Ning looked at him: "But I'll be more careful now and try not to have too much contact with my new roommate."

To avoid a repeat of the previous press conference incident, she didn't want to be betrayed again.

Ji Chiqian turned on the water bottle and handed it to her: "But this shouldn't be what's bothering you."

"It's about the foundation."

Lu Ning told Ji Chiqian about what had happened at the foundation in the past two days.

Although Ji Chiqian already knew from Li Man, he was unaware of what happened at the Lu family last night.

He was somewhat surprised: "Your fifth brother actually likes Qin Xiang. He had his brain amputated, not his legs, right?"

How desperate must someone be to even be interested in someone like Qin Xiang?

Lu Ning took a sip of water: "I don't know either, but I can guess the reason. Fifth Brother's temper has become withdrawn since he was injured. Qin Xiang has always liked to act cute and coax people, which is why Fifth Brother thinks Qin Xiang is so different."

Ji Chiqian's expression was disdainful: "Didn't Qin Xiang want to marry Gu Yan? How come she's turning around and want to marry your fifth brother?"

"Qin Xiang has always had many suitors, but she only relentlessly pursues Gu Yan. Dealing with a simp like Lu Wu is a piece of cake."

Qin Xiang's goal has always been clear: to marry into a wealthy family.

Lu Ning looked at Ji Chiqian: "If it weren't for finding out who's behind Qin Xiang, I wouldn't have kept backing down."

"Have you found any clues?"

Lu Ning nodded. She turned her head and saw Li Man and her men hesitating in the passageway, but they didn't come over.

She blushed slightly and stood up: "I have an appointment with Miss Riemann to discuss some matters."

Li Man then came over with her laptop: "Ms. Lu, we found that person's information. He's from the same hometown as Qin Xiang's father, and they're related."

Lu Ning immediately straightened her expression: "Continue."
