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

Lu Ning and Chen Yu arrived at the pear garden together.

With Chen Yu around, Lu Ning smoothly entered the Peking Opera world.

Most likely it's because Lu Wu and Qin Xiang were stopped outside the Pear Garden last time, so they specially arranged to have dinner there today.

Chen Yu walked slowly, her tone apologetic: "I want to go to the restroom first."

Lu Ning noticed that the ground was a bit wet, as if it had just been mopped.

She offered, "I'll go with you."

The two went into the restroom together. Lu Ning stood outside the sink and waited, but the next second Qin Xiang came out of the stall.

Qin Xiang wore a very fitted white evening gown, making her look like a proud peacock.

"Lu Ning, you actually got in? You don't even have a membership. Are you shamelessly letting your boyfriend use Young Master Gu's membership for free again?"

Qin Xiang, wearing high heels, proudly raised her chin, deliberately showing off the large diamond ring on her finger.

"Lu Ning, did you see this? This is a diamond ring that Fifth Brother bought for me. It's worth over a million. Your boyfriend probably doesn't even earn a million a year."

Qin Xiang was in a very good mood: "I advised you a long time ago not to find a penniless boyfriend. What's the use of being affectionate and devoted?"

"I'm not as good as you in this respect. After all, you were dumped by Gu Yan and your dream of marrying into a wealthy family was shattered. You immediately turned to my fifth brother as a lapdog. You, on the other hand, have always been very devoted to money."

Lu Ning looked at Qin Xiang's outfit: "But my fifth brother is much more generous to you than Gu Yan is, right? This is such an expensive haute couture dress. You've slept with Gu Yan so many times, but he hasn't bought it for you, has he?"

"You have good taste. This dress is the work of a famous designer. My brother put a lot of effort into customizing it as an engagement gift for me. It's one of a kind in the world."

Qin Xiang's words were tinged with pride: "It's a pity there was only one, so my eldest brother gave it to me. You're not going to throw a tantrum again and say that your eldest brother is unfair, are you? But you forced your eldest brother to admit that he was the culprit who caused Fifth Brother's amputation, and he hates you to death."

Looking at the smug expression on Qin Xiang's face, Lu Ning said, "Have you forgotten that I still have a video that will ensure you can never recover?"

Qin Xiang's expression changed instantly, and she said fiercely, "I have already explained this to your fifth brother, and he doesn't care at all."

"Really? Then I'll show it to Fifth Brother later."

"You dare! You made a deal with your elder brother that if he didn't release the video, everything in the foundation would be yours. If you break that agreement, then you can forget about the rest of the inheritance left by your parents."

After Qin Xiang finished speaking, she left in a hurry, her back view conveying a sense of fleeing in panic.

Lu Ning's lips curled into a cold smile; in truth, the seemingly innocent woman was still afraid.

Her phone received a message from Chen Yu: "My stomach isn't feeling well, you go ahead, I'll be there in a bit."

Lu Ning glanced at the toilet stall; Chen Yu must have overheard her conversation with Qin Xiang.

She didn't intend to explain anything.

Lu Ning went straight to the private dining room, and when she opened the door, she saw Qin Xiang standing next to Lu Wu, quietly sobbing and complaining about something.

The atmosphere in the private room changed quite a bit after she appeared.

Qin Xiang said with a wronged expression, "Fifth Brother, don't blame Sister Ningning. After all, there's only one of these dresses, and only I have it; she doesn't, so she's angry."

Lu Wu pointed at Lu Ning's nose and scolded, "Xiangxiang is your future sister-in-law. We're getting engaged soon, so it's normal for her to dress nicely. Why are you jealous of everything?"

Lu Ning scoffed, "What do I have to be jealous of? Ever since Qin Xiang came to the Lu family, haven't we given her all the good things first?"

"That's only right, because Xiangxiang's father has been kind to our Lu family. If it weren't for her father, you would have died in that car accident long ago, and you wouldn't be standing here enjoying the life of a pampered young lady."

Lu Wu was very angry: "I demand that you apologize to your future fifth sister-in-law right now, and you are not allowed to talk to her like that again, nor are you allowed to make her angry."

"Fifth Brother, let's forget about it. I'm wearing such a beautiful dress, but Sister Ningning isn't. You even bought me such an expensive diamond ring. I've already gotten a great deal."

Qin Xiang's tone was smug: "Maybe Ningning's boyfriend can't afford such an expensive diamond ring, which is why she's so angry."

Lu Ning pulled out a chair and sat down: "Fifth Brother, I suddenly remembered there's something I want to show you..."

Qin Xiang's expression changed considerably. She quickly interrupted and turned to Lu Wu, saying, "Fifth Brother, why haven't Eldest Brother and Sixth Brother arrived yet?"

"Yeah, why are they late?"

Just as Lu Wu finished speaking, the door to the private room opened, and Lu Dongyou and Lu Liu walked in together.

Lu Wu said with some dissatisfaction, "Big brother, I have to tell you something. Lu Ning is just too jealous. It's just because Xiang Xiang wore a limited edition dress that Lu Ning didn't have, she got jealous and started cursing."

Lu Dongyou asked, somewhat tired, "What skirt?"

Qin Xiang smiled slightly: "It's the dress I'm wearing today. Big brother, you gave it to me as an engagement gift, but Sister Ningning seems a little unhappy."

Lu Dongyou then noticed the dress Qin Xiang was wearing, and his expression immediately changed: "Why are you wearing this dress?"

Qin Xiang was stunned: "Isn't this the gift you gave me, brother?"

"Who told you to wear that? Take it off! When did I ever say I was going to give it to you as a gift?"

Lu Dongyou suddenly became very angry: "Qin Xiang, who gave you the right to touch the dress I ordered?"

Qin Xiang said innocently, "Brother, I didn't."

Lu Wu spoke up first: "Big brother, it's just a dress, why are you making such a fuss about it?"

"This dress was custom-made as a gift for Miss Chen."

Lu Dongyou looked at Qin Xiang angrily: "Change out of this dress, right now."

Qin Xiang was a little reluctant to part with it; she really liked the dress.

Lu Wu quickly said, "Big brother, I was thinking about what gift to give Xiangxiang when I saw the housekeeper bring this dress back. I thought it would suit Xiangxiang very well, and she liked it too, so I decided to let her wear it."

Lu Dongyou loosened his tie: "Fifth brother, if you want to give a gift, don't use my things to do favors."

"Big brother, you're being too stingy. What kind of dress hasn't Miss Chen worn? Besides, I heard that Miss Chen is a cripple. She can't pull off such a beautiful dress at all. It's a complete waste."

Lu Wu looked completely unconcerned. He took Qin Xiang's hand and said, "Xiangxiang looks her best in this dress. She'll definitely be the most stunning person at our engagement."

Qin Xiang glanced at Lu Dongyou and said, feigning understanding, "Fifth Brother, let's forget about it. After all, this is a dress that Big Brother gave to his girlfriend, and it really doesn't suit me."

Qin Xiang was very unhappy. Lu Wu, that good-for-nothing, couldn't even afford a designer dress, and he even stole the gift that Lu Dongyou had prepared for the eldest daughter of the Chen family.

"Don't worry about wearing it. I'm not that stingy. After all, your father did a good deed for the Lu family, so I won't blame you."

These words infuriated Lu Dongyou so much that his face turned green, yet he was unable to refute them.

Qin Xiang thought for a moment and then said, "Big brother, I can't change this dress right now, so how about I wear it for now? Don't worry, I'll be very careful not to get it dirty. I'll change it off when I get home, so it won't delay you from giving it to Miss Chen."

Lu Dongyou's expression softened considerably: "Well, I'll give you another dress as compensation later."

Qin Xiang nodded understandingly, but she already had a plan in mind.

Lu Ning frowned slightly: "Big brother, is it inappropriate to give someone a dress that has already been worn?"

If she didn't know Miss Chen, she wouldn't meddle, but the thought of Chen Yu wearing the dress that Bai Lianhua had worn made Lu Ning feel a little uncomfortable.

"Sister Ningning, since we're all family here today, as long as you don't say anything and I don't say anything, how would Miss Chen know about this? Unless you want to frame my brother unjustly."

Qin Xiang, holding a bottle of decanted red wine, walked to Lu Ning's side and said, "So much has happened lately, let's have a drink to make up."

Lu Ning's expression was impatient: "Who wants to drink with you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Xiang, like a startled little rabbit, spilled red wine directly onto her white dress.

With red eyes, Qin Xiang said pitifully, "Sister Ningning, if you have a problem, take it out on me. Why did you have to ruin this dress?"
