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

When Lu Ning heard Lu Wu ask that question, she herself was also a little confused.

The eldest brother is so protective of Qin Xiang, even knowing that Qin Xiang's foundation is suffering losses from kickbacks, he still tries to solve Qin Xiang's problems.

Could it be that my older brother also likes Qin Xiang?

After Lu Wu said those words, the hall immediately became very quiet.

Qin Xiang looked at Lu Wu incredulously. Actually, she hadn't thought that much about it. After all, her older brother rarely stayed at home and was so much older than her. She really hadn't considered this possibility.

But if it's her older brother who likes her, that's much better than Lu Wu, right?

Lu Dongyou directly rebuked Lu Wu: "What nonsense are you spouting? I've always treated Qin Xiang like a younger sister. Do you think everyone is like you, not even sparing their own sister?"

Lu Dongyou was furious with Lu Wu.

They actually said he likes Qin Xiang? What kind of nonsense is that?

There's a reason why he's so protective of Qin Xiang, but it's definitely not because he likes her; he's not that desperate.

Lu Wu immediately became angry: "But Xiangxiang isn't our biological sister."

“But I personally went through the adoption procedures for Qin Xiang. She is now our sister. Legally speaking, you two cannot get married and register yourselves together.”

Lu Ning hadn't thought of this at first, but it seems to make sense.

Although they are not related by blood, they are still not legally allowed to marry.

Lu Wu was stunned, somewhat puzzled: "Is that so?"

Qin Xiang quickly replied, "Fifth Brother, it seems that's what the law stipulates."

Qin Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. Actually, she didn't want to marry Lu Wu at all, but in order to resolve this matter, she had to agree temporarily.

Anyway, she knew that she and Lu Wu could never get a marriage certificate, but she never said anything about it and pretended not to know.

Now the eldest brother has finally spoken up.

Lu Wu held Qin Xiang's hand: "Don't worry, I said I would marry you, and I will definitely take responsibility to the end. Tomorrow, you should go and complete the formalities to terminate the adoption relationship with the Lu family and transfer your household registration. That way, we can get our marriage certificate and be together."

Qin Xiang's lips twitched. She had finally managed to transfer her household registration to the Lu family and become the Lu family's daughter. How could she possibly transfer it out so easily?

She replied softly, "It's up to me to decide this."

Lu Wu looked directly at Lu Dongyou: "Big brother, are you going to stop lovers from getting married? Since you also treat Xiangxiang as your sister and me as your brother, you should agree."

After all, Lu Dongyou is now the head of the household.

When Lu Dongyou saw Lu Wu's empty trouser legs, he felt a tightness in his chest.

He said, "Fifth brother, it's not that I disagree, but Xiangxiang only went through the adoption procedures less than a year ago. If we terminate the adoption now, people will laugh at us."

"Then just don't let others know, right?"

Lu Wu was very anxious: "Big brother, I know you can do it, you just don't want to agree. It's already good enough that someone likes a disabled person like me, and you still want to stop me from getting married. How can you face our deceased parents?"

"enough!"

Lu Dongyou was furious. How could Lu Wu be so brainless?

How could Qin Xiang simply like Lu Wu? She must have other intentions, but it's hard to say about Lu Dongyou.

Lu Ning, watching the spectacle unfold, said, "Big brother, why don't you just agree? It would strengthen the ties between Qin Xiang and the Lu family, wouldn't that be great?"

"Sister Ningning, I know you hate me and want to kick me out. But I've only been adopted for less than a year, and the adoption is already being terminated. If word gets out, how can I face anyone?"

Qin Xiang was very uneasy; she really didn't want her older brother to agree.

Lu Wu comforted Qin Xiang: "Xiangxiang, don't worry. We'll move to another city, to a place where nobody knows us, so no one will gossip."

Qin Xiang was very unwilling; she was determined to stay in Yunjing and wouldn't hide in some small, insignificant place.

Lu Ning smiled enigmatically: "This is a pretty good idea. When the family fortune is divided, Fifth Brother can take the property and live a good life elsewhere."

Lu Dongyou glared at her: "Lu Ning, what are you doing here causing trouble?"

“I didn’t cause any trouble. Anyway, Qin Xiang only has the title of the eldest daughter of the Lu family, and she doesn’t have a share of the family’s property. If Qin Xiang marries Fifth Brother, it’s equivalent to having joint marital property, and it will also fulfill Fifth Brother’s wish.”

Lu Ning's smile widened: "This is a win-win situation."

After hearing this, Lu Wu was overjoyed: "That's right, I think so too."

"The assets cannot be divided now; they can only be touched after the company goes public."

Lu Dongyou is quite sensitive about the division of property.

Qin Xiang quickly advised, "Fifth Brother, after all, Big Brother's company is at a critical stage of its IPO, and these kinds of things can't happen, as they will have an impact. Anyway, there's no rush for our matters; we have plenty of time."

For now, they can only temporarily hold off Lu Wu.

Lu Dongyou glanced at Qin Xiang with satisfaction: "That's right, that's exactly what I meant. Once the company successfully goes public, the adoption will have lasted for more than a year. We can then quietly terminate the adoption without anyone saying anything."

However, he still did not directly agree to Qin Xiang being with Lu Wu.

Let's postpone this for now and figure out a solution later.

Apart from Lu Wu, who was dissatisfied, everyone else was quite satisfied.

Upon seeing this, Lu Ning stood up immediately: "I'm so hungry, let's eat."

Now that the show is over, it's time to eat something to fill our stomachs.

Aside from Lu Ning, the rest of the people probably didn't feel like eating.

Lu Wu sat next to Qin Xiang, busy serving her food, looking very affectionate.

After witnessing this scene, Lu Dongyou's mood soured.

Lu Ning had almost finished eating. She looked up at Qin Xiang and said, "Although I won't pursue legal action against you, you have to make up for all the money you embezzled and took kickbacks. Not a single penny less."

Qin Xiang lowered her eyelids and said softly, "But I don't have that much money right now. Can I pay in installments?"

She spent all of that small sum of money—a few hundred thousand—on clothes and designer bags. Where would she get any money left?

Lu Wu looked up: "I'll pay it back for Xiangxiang, it's just a few hundred thousand."

"It's about 600,000. Let's transfer the money now so that we can settle the payment."

Lu Ning didn't want to play stalling games with these people.

Lu Wu's expression was a little unnatural. He looked at Lu Dongyou and said, "Big brother, I estimate that my share of the profits will be quite substantial. Getting 800,000 shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Your share dividends will only be paid out at the end of the year. Have you received none of the dividends from last year?"

Lu Wu's expression changed slightly: "I've spent it all on Third Brother's lab. You know how expensive research is."

Lu Ning asked in surprise, "I remember there are a lot of people vying to invest in Third Brother's lab, so he must have plenty of money."

"Lu Ning, shut up! Do you even have the right to speak here?"

Lu Wu felt a little guilty: "Big brother, just give me this year's dividend in advance."

"Row."

Lu Dongyou readily agreed, but his expression was not very pleasant.

Qin Xiang finally smiled and looked at Lu Wu with a weak expression: "Fifth Brother, I feel so bad that you have to pay back so much money for me. Don't worry, I will definitely pay you back."

"What nonsense are you talking about? We're getting married soon, isn't my money your money anyway?"

Lu Wu held Qin Xiang's hand tightly, his gaze filled with deep affection.

Lu Dongyou was so depressed that he couldn't eat, so he put down his chopsticks and left.

Lu Wu suddenly remembered something and looked up at Lu Ning: "By the way, you can give up your bedroom for Xiang Xiang to live in. I plan to use your room as our wedding room."

With a snap, Lu Ning broke the chopsticks in her hand.
