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

Lu Ning had seriously underestimated Fifth Brother's shamelessness.

Was Fifth Brother really this shameless in her past life? But back then, she didn't have much contact with Fifth Brother.

After all, Qin Xiang was already with Gu Yan at that time, and she was determined to marry into the Gu family. There was no news at all about Fifth Brother and Qin Xiang having anything going on.

Lu Wu angrily retorted, "Lu Ning, I'm still your brother. Are you really that unwilling to pay for something?"

"You too?"

Lu Ning didn't want to waste any more time there, so she turned around and left the private room.

Behind her, she heard Lu Wu calling for Lu Liu to give her money, mentioning the pocket money she gave Lu Liu when they were children, and asking Lu Liu to return it to her now.

Lu Ning burst out laughing; she never expected Fifth Brother to be so shameless.

But she'd had enough of the jokes about Qin Xiang today.

After today's events, Lu Ning was also eager to see if Lu Dongyou could continue to tolerate Qin Xiang and spout any more talk about blood being thicker than water and being a family.

To be honest, she was actually looking forward to it.

Lu Ning walked alone to the entrance of the pear garden, and suddenly looked back at the window of the private room where she had eaten with Ji Chiqian last time.

At that time, they were kissing by the window.

Suddenly, Lu Ning saw a row of luxury cars driving by on the side of the road. She was immediately stunned. It seemed that someone of high status would be dining here.

She subconsciously moved a little to the side, but several bodyguards in black uniforms got out of the car and walked straight up to her.

A look of surprise appeared in Lu Ning's eyes. What was going on?

The bodyguards in black stood in two rows and said in unison, "Miss, please get in the car."

Lu Ning was startled: "Have you mistaken me for someone else?"

“Miss Lu, Mrs. Ji specially sent us to pick you up.”

Madam Ji?

Lu Ning thought about her relationship with Ji Chiqian. After meeting Madam Ji and Mo Shiyi at the elevator entrance of Liyuan that day, Madam Ji should know who she is now.

She glanced at the bodyguard and roughly guessed what Madam Ji wanted to say to her.

At that moment, Lu Ning received a WeChat message from Mrs. Ji: "The driver was sent by me, so you don't need to worry."

Upon seeing this message, Lu Ning did not hesitate and got into the car with the bodyguard.

"Lu Ning, where are you going?"

After Lu Ning got into the car, she saw the Lu family members coming out of the pear orchard, but Lu Wu and Qin Xiang's expressions were clearly very unpleasant.

I don't know who paid in the end.

Lu Ning ignored Lu Liu outside and got into her car and left.

After chasing for a few steps, Lu Liu anxiously called Lu Ning, but there was no answer.

"Sixth Brother, where did Lu Ning go?"

When Qin Xiang saw the convoy of luxury cars, she felt incredibly envious. Those cars looked so expensive. Who picked up Lu Ning?

Lu Liu looked at the convoy, feeling a little worried: "I don't know either, she didn't answer my calls."

Lu Wu wheeled himself over, covered in vegetable soup. He said viciously, "I really underestimated Lu Ning. No wonder she's getting more and more arrogant. Could it be that she's found some powerful backer?"

Qin Xiang asked with a puzzled look, "But I haven't heard of Lu Ning having any powerful connections. Could it be Madam Ji?"

Lu Wu said with a sneer, "What kind of person is Madam Ji? Why would she send a car to pick up Lu Ning? Does that brat have the nerve to do that?"

Qin Xiang also thought it made sense; Lu Ning couldn't possibly have that much influence.

Lu Liu was still a little worried, so he sent Lu Ning a message: "Whose car did you leave in? Call me anytime if anything happens."

Lu Ning glanced at the message she received on her phone, but ultimately didn't reply.

Anyway, there's no need to tell the Lu family about her relationship with the Ji family.

Not long after, Lu Ning arrived at a beauty salon.

After she got out of the car, she glanced at the beauty salon. It looked very high-end, no wonder it was a place frequented by wealthy women.

Soon, someone came up to Lu Ning: "Miss Lu, please come with me."

Lu Ning followed her inside and changed into her inner clothes. Only when she entered the private room did she see Madam Ji lying on a chair with a face mask on.

"Lu Ning, you're here?"

Mrs. Ji sat up: "Why don't you lie down and try it too? The techniques at this beauty salon are pretty good."

Before Lu Ning could say anything, she was pressed down onto a recliner, something was smeared on her face, and someone massaged her.

Lu Ning felt a little uneasy, but mostly puzzled.

Madam Ji should know about her relationship with Ji Chiqian by now. According to procedure, shouldn't Madam Ji just give her a check and tell her to leave Ji Chiqian?

Lu Ning couldn't quite understand Madam Ji's actions.

After the massage, Lu Ning felt much more relaxed. She sat up and looked at Madam Ji: "You must have asked me to come here for more than just a massage, right?"

"You guessed right, there's something else."

Madam Ji clapped her hands, and someone brought over many gift bags, which almost filled the area around Lu Ning.

Lu Ning glanced at the bags and said, "Mrs. Ji, just say what you want to say. There's no need for so much preamble."

Madam Ji raised her hand, signaling everyone to leave.

She looked at Lu Ning and couldn't help but sigh: "I know this will make our relationship awkward."

Before knowing who Lu Ning was, Madam Ji did like her quite a bit.

Lu Ning spoke up first: "Ji Chiqian and I have already broken up."

"what?"

Mrs. Ji's expression was one of surprise and disbelief, after all, she had tried to persuade Ji Chiqian to break up with her before, but to no avail.

Madam Ji suddenly felt a little nervous. Did Lu Ning already know?

Lu Ning said calmly, "Because he had been hiding his identity from me while we were dating, I felt that this behavior was a form of deception, so I broke up with him."

Madam Ji looked at Lu Ning with a guilty expression in her eyes.

If that's the case, Ji Chiqian probably hasn't mentioned the car accident from back then.

Madam Ji stepped forward and took Lu Ning's hand: "Our Ji family has indeed wronged you in this matter, so I will make it up to you. So, Lu Ning, would you like to be my goddaughter?"

Goddaughter?

A hint of sarcasm flashed in Lu Ning's eyes. So, Madam Ji wanted to make amends in this way?

Madam Ji held her hand: "Child, I didn't mean to humiliate you. Now that you're my daughter, no one will dare to bully you anymore."

Madam Ji truly wanted to make amends for the mistakes she made back then.

Especially after learning that Lu Ning was not doing well in the Lu family, Madam Ji has not slept well for the past few days.

Lu Ning felt a little uncomfortable with Madam Ji's kindness: "Madam Ji, you don't need to do this. I have really broken up with Ji Chiqian, and I will not bother him anymore."

“It has nothing to do with him. I just want a daughter. I’ve also prepared a lot of gifts for you, take them all.”

Lu Ning saw the box that Madam Ji had given her. She opened it and found a set of car keys for a luxury car and a stack of red property ownership certificates inside.

Lu Ning was stunned.

Instead of giving him a check, Mrs. Ji gave him a luxury car and a villa?

Before Lu Ning could react, Madam Ji handed her a document: "I'm being very sincere. After you become my daughter, you can inherit all my property. You just need to sign this document to own the property listed there."

Lu Ning glanced at the assets listed in the document, including shares. Wouldn't all of these add up to hundreds of millions?

But Madam Ji wished she could grab her hand and have her press her fingerprint and sign the document directly.

Lu Ning didn't move: "Mrs. Ji."

"Call me godmother, and you must accept these gifts today! You must become a member of the Ji family today!"
