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

Lu Ning was completely baffled by what she heard.

She smiled and said, "Miss Mo, I know very well what kind of person my boyfriend is."

Ji Chiqian's character is not for others to judge.

Mo Shiyi had the words on the tip of her tongue; she really wanted to tell Lu Ning the truth, but in the end, she didn't say them.

If he were to reveal his identity to Lu Ning, he couldn't just say it so easily.

Otherwise, wouldn't that be giving Lu Ning a free ride?

No matter which girl it is, wouldn't she be ecstatic to find out that her boyfriend is actually the heir of the Ji family?

By then, Lu Ning will definitely be even less likely to let go.

This was not the result she wanted.

Lu Ning looked at Mo Shiyi's changing expression: "What exactly are you trying to say?"

"It's nothing, I was just meddling."

Mo Shiyi's eyes held a hint of malice. Since Lu Ning hadn't suffered because of the foundation's incident last time, she would have to find another way.

The two stepped out of the elevator together, but headed in the same direction.

Until the two of them stood at the door of the same private room.

Mo Shiyi looked at her in surprise: "You're here too?"

"Yes, what a coincidence, Miss Mo, are you also here to see Mrs. Chen?"

"Yes."

Mo Shiyi pushed open the door and went in, with Lu Ning following behind. She looked up and saw Lu Dongyou and a noblewoman sitting in the seat of honor, who was clearly Mrs. Chen.

As for Lu Wu and Qin Xiang, they are probably still being kept at the gate.

Mo Shiyi walked directly to Mrs. Chen's side and spoke to her familiarly.

Lu Ning didn't go over on her own initiative. Before figuring out Mrs. Chen's intentions, she decided it was best not to get too close.

Lu Dongyou immediately walked over to Lu Ning and whispered, "Go and say hello later too."

Lu Ning asked in a low voice, "What exactly does Mrs. Chen mean by this?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to see you and offer you a toast. Look how Miss Mo handled it!"

Lu Dongyou was exasperated: "Aren't you usually so capable at home? Why do you become such a coward outside?"

Lu Ning was getting impatient; her older brother's fawning attitude made her uncomfortable.

Her eyes were filled with sarcasm as she coldly looked at Lu Dongyou.

Lu Dongyou realized what was happening, his face turned cold, and he stopped talking.

At this moment, Mrs. Chen looked at Lu Ning and said, "This must be Miss Lu. Seeing is believing."

Lu Ning then raised her glass and smiled, "Mrs. Chen, that's good."

"I didn't expect Miss Lu and Zifeng to have such a good relationship. I've never heard him mention it before."

Mrs. Chen's words were tinged with a hint of probing. Gu Zifeng had just called her personally to talk about the foundation, wanting her to help Lu Ning and not interfere in the Lu family's affairs.

Gu Zifeng isn't usually such a warm-hearted person. Could it be that he's taken a liking to Lu Ning?

Lu Ning answered calmly, "Gu Shao and I are friends."

She only said that one sentence and nothing else, so as not to involve Ji Chiqian.

Mrs. Chen was somewhat displeased; she had asked Lu Ning herself, but Lu Ning wouldn't say anything.

Mo Shiyi noticed that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so she quickly tried to smooth things over: "Mrs. Chen, Miss Lu has a rather straightforward personality, and Aunt Ji has said the same thing."

"Does Mrs. Ji know Miss Lu?"

"Yes, I know her. Aunt Ji even vouched for Miss Lu to get a membership card at the club. Aunt Ji likes Miss Lu quite a bit. But before, she was also cheated by the supplier at the club and was even expelled from our charity foundation. Now that the supplier issue has blown up, we've realized that Miss Lu is actually innocent too."

After Mo Shiyi finished speaking, Mrs. Chen was surprised that Lu Ning could get Mrs. Ji to intercede on her behalf.

Out of respect for Madam Ji, they finally didn't make things difficult for Lu Ning.

Mrs. Chen looked at Lu Dongyou and said, "Your sister is quite capable, knowing so many people who would stand up for her. So why did you go to all this trouble to invite me to dinner?"

Lu Dongyou looked somewhat embarrassed: "Mrs. Chen, my sister is young and doesn't understand things, and I was just..."

"Now that Madam Ji is here, I should definitely go over and say hello. Please enjoy your meal."

Mrs. Chen didn't let Lu Dongyou finish speaking before she stood up and left with Mo Shiyi.

Only two people remained in the private room.

Lu Dongyou immediately stared at Lu Ning, his tone somewhat incredulous: "I didn't expect you to have such a good relationship with Gu Zifeng, and that Madam Ji would even have Mo Shiyi plead for you."

He now realized that he had underestimated his younger sister all along.

Lu Ning remained calm: "If there's nothing else, I'll be going too."

She didn't want to explain that much.

"Lu Ning, I haven't finished speaking yet, you stop right there!"

Lu Dongyou was a little anxious, but thinking of Lu Ning's connections, he softened his tone: "Lu Ning, we are still family, aren't we? No one will hold the Lu family responsible for this incident. Do you have to keep making things difficult for Xiangxiang?"

Lu Ning's eyes turned much colder: "I've made my conditions for not holding Qin Xiang accountable very clear."

Unless Lu Dongyou personally admits to Lu Wu in front of him that he deliberately didn't answer the phone to evade responsibility for the amputation after the fire.

"Lu Ning, are you trying to humiliate me? I'm your older brother, do you expect me to apologize and admit my mistakes to my younger brother?"

Lu Dongyou has always had a strong sense of self-respect, especially in front of his younger siblings.

If he admits this, what authority does he have as the eldest brother?

With a bang, Ji Chiqian pushed open the door and came in.

With a cold face, he pushed Lu Dongyou away: "But back then you clearly shirked responsibility and shifted the blame onto Lu Ning for so many years, and she has taken all the blame for you."

You've done something so shameless, do you even have any face left?

Ji Chiqian's words are always sharp.

Lu Dongyou said sullenly, "You are an outsider and have no right to interfere in the affairs of our Lu family."

"He's not an outsider; to me, you're the outsider."

Lu Ning is also very protective of her own and won't allow anyone to speak ill of Ji Chiqian.

Lu Dongyou was furious: "Lu Ning, don't think that just because you know a few people, you're any different. If you weren't the eldest daughter of the Lu family, would Gu Zifeng or Madam Ji even bother with you?"

Lu Ning is getting too arrogant.

Ji Chiqian said coldly, "But even if you stick to them, they won't pay any attention to you."

Lu Dongyou's face turned pale with anger.

Lu Ning took Ji Chiqian's hand and said, "The trouble caused by Lu Wu has been resolved, but I will still pursue the matter of my foundation to the end."

She wouldn't let Qin Xiang off so easily.

Don't think that calling Fifth Brother back will change the outcome.

Lu Dongyou immediately lost his temper: "Lu Ning, are you trying to make me lose face?"

Ji Chiqian grabbed a cup from the table and threw it at her: "When you made Lu Ning, a child, make the decision to have her leg amputated, didn't you think about your reputation? You've already lost all sense of shame, what do you care about reputation anymore?"

Lu Ning looked over and said, "I've taken the blame for you for so many years, it's time for you to take responsibility yourself."

She had to get revenge.

Hasn't Lu Dongyou always been biased towards Qin Xiang?

Now that he's being forced to do the thing he least wants for Qin Xiang's sake, will Lu Dongyou still continue to side with Qin Xiang?

After all, it only hurts when the knife lands on your own foot.

After Lu Ning finished speaking, she took Ji Chiqian's hand and left the private room.

The two took the elevator upstairs together. Lu Ning turned her head to look at him and asked, "Why did you come? Are you still worried?"

"Yes, I'm worried that you'll be bullied."

After Ji Chiqian finished his phone call with Gu Zifeng, he didn't think too much about it and went downstairs to find Lu Ning, only to find that Mrs. Chen had already left.

"No one bullied me. Mrs. Chen only said a few words. It's nothing."

The elevator doors opened, and Lu Ning saw three women standing outside.

Mrs. Ji, Mrs. Chen, and Mo Shiyi.
