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

Lu Ning looked up at Lu Dongyou, her eyes filled with mockery.

Lu Dongyou's eyes showed a hint of guilt: "I know you feel wronged, but I will make it up to you."

"I don't care about any compensation. You expect me to bow down so you can benefit yourself? Is it really that easy?"

Lu Ning shoved Lu Dongyou away and turned to leave.

Chen Guoguo chimed in from the side, "Just now some people were saying that Lu Ning had cut ties with her family, but now that they see Lu Ning is somewhat useful, they're saying she's part of the family again. Do they really think everyone else is stupid?"

Upon hearing these words, Lu Dongyou's expression instantly darkened.

When he turned around, Madam Mo had already left with Mo Shanshan, and Lu Ning had wasted a good opportunity.

Qin Xiang cautiously said, "Big brother, try to persuade Lu Ning to reconcile with the Mo family again. It won't look good if things escalate."

Lu Dongyou stared at Qin Xiang: "You were involved in this too?"

"What are you talking about, brother? I don't know either. It was that girl who did it secretly."

How could Qin Xiang possibly admit it at this point?

Lu Dongyou looked at Qin Xiang, already guessing what had happened. He said in an unfriendly tone, "Chen Yu and Lu Ning have a good relationship, so stop playing these tricks."

"Big brother, why are you scolding Xiangxiang? It's just that Lu Ning has a bad temper, and everyone dislikes her."

Lu Wu immediately came over to support Qin Xiang and took her hand.

But Qin Xiang broke free: "Fifth Brother, we haven't officially announced our relationship today, so we should be mindful of the impact. Today is very important for Big Brother."

The Gu family will be at today's banquet, and Gu Yan might be there too. Qin Xiang doesn't want Gu Yan to know about her relationship with Lu Wu.

Lu Dongyou nodded: "That's right, Fifth Brother, come with me to say hello and get to know everyone."

Lu Wu then let go of her hand: "Xiangxiang, be careful on your own. If Lu Ning bullies you, you must tell me."

"I understand, you can go ahead and get back to work."

Qin Xiang was eager for Lu Wu to be taken away by her older brother so that she could go find Gu Yan. The two hadn't seen each other for a while, since Lu Wu was quite clingy and she simply didn't have the time to go find Gu Yan.

You can't keep a man hanging on for too long, otherwise what if Gu Yan really loses interest in you?

Qin Xiang took out her phone and sent a message to Gu Yan.

After Lu Dongyou left with Lu Wu, he couldn't help but say, "Fifth brother, could you be a little more polite to Lu Ning in the future?"

"Big brother, Lu Ning made Xiang Xiang suffer so much, and I'm still supposed to be nice to her? Lu Ning used to be so obedient to me, but she's changed like this in such a short time. I should have just died in that car accident."

"Shut up. No matter what, Lu Ning is still our younger sister. If bad rumors get out, it will also affect the Lu family."

Lu Dongyou now feels he should try to repair his relationship with Lu Ning.

Given how good Lu Ning's relationship with Chen Yu is, we should try to get Lu Ning involved as well.

But Lu Wu didn't answer. She didn't care at all. Even if Lu Ning was gone, there was still Xiang Xiang.

Lu Ning is just a little girl, how could she possibly cause any trouble?

Lu Dongyou felt that something was not quite right, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Lu Ning and Chen Guoguo walked around the banquet together and even went to the food area to get some snacks.

Chen Guoguo said with a smile, "When the video was shown just now, those people's faces turned green."

"Yes, but it's also thanks to your quick thinking."

Lu Ning actually noticed something was wrong, but when she saw Chen Guoguo quietly walk to the side and take out her phone, she pretended not to notice anything.

As expected, Mo Shanshan openly came to cause trouble.

Then let's slap them in the face once and for all.

Lu Ning spoke up: "Actually, everyone here knows what's going on. Once the evidence is presented, the Mo family will probably become a laughing stock again."

At least Mo Shanshan's reputation as a good-for-nothing has been further enhanced.

Chen Guoguo's eyes were filled with laughter: "Who told the Mo family to be so arrogant, always calling my sister the number one socialite, even though the Ji family hasn't acknowledged it. They even dare to call you a mistress, how shameless!"

Seeing Chen Guoguo's indignant expression, Lu Ning said, "Alright, we still have important things to do."

"I know. I've been watching Qin Xiang's movements. She's heading towards the door, so the Gu family is probably here."

A cold glint flashed in Lu Ning's eyes. Since there was readily available leverage delivered to her doorstep, she might as well take it.

The banquet began shortly afterward.

Lu Ning and Chen Guoguo stood in the crowd, watching Chen Yu walk out like a princess in a beautiful dress.

She looked at Chen Yu's steady gait and couldn't see anything unusual about him.

It seems that what she designed is just right for Chen Yu, but the time is too short and the comfort level is definitely not enough. It will need to be improved again later.

"Lu Ning, you're here too."

Madam Ji suddenly appeared beside Lu Ning. She noticed that the dress Lu Ning was wearing looked somewhat familiar.

When Lu Ning met Madam Ji this time, she only felt a little embarrassed.

The dress she was wearing was a gift from Ji Chiqian.

Madam Ji glanced at it and then smiled and said, "Did you come alone? I heard that the Lu family is all here. Today is the day to announce the marriage between the Lu family and the Chen family."

Lu Ning pursed her lips: "This isn't a good thing either."

"Miss Lu, do you have any objections to the Chen family? This marriage is beneficial to your Lu family."

At this moment, Mo Shiyi walked over confidently, as if nothing that had happened before had ever happened.

Lu Ning glanced at Mo Shiyi, who seemed completely unaffected: "Your sister just accused me of stealing, but it turned out she was just trying to frame me. Now you can still pretend nothing happened and talk to me like this. I have to admire the shamelessness of the Mo family."

Madam Ji was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Mo Shiyi and said, "Your sister is really out of line."

"Aunt Ji, I just found out about this myself. It seems to have been done by Shan Shan's friend, and it has nothing to do with her. I'll teach her a lesson later."

After Mo Shiyi finished explaining, her gaze towards Lu Ning turned several degrees colder.

Mo Shiyi continued, "I never expected that after so long of searching for a son-in-law, the Chen family would choose the Lu family. It's quite a surprise."

This would significantly elevate the Lu family's status, which is something she doesn't want to see.

Madam Ji smiled and said, "That's good. Lu Ning, you can stay in Yunjing from now on. We'll all be friends, and we can help each other out if needed."

After hearing this, Mo Shiyi's expression became much more subdued.

Lu Ning said with a hint of helplessness, "Aunt Ji."

"Don't be so polite. I have a friend I need to say hello to. Let's talk later."

Mrs. Ji patted Lu Ning's hand and then left.

As Lu Ning watched Madam Ji's retreating figure, Mo Shiyi's voice reached her ears: "Aunt Ji is so kind to you, just to stop you from being with Aqian. Don't misunderstand."

Lu Ning turned her head and said, "You're jealous, aren't you?"

Seeing the First Socialite, Miss Mo, break down in her defenses, her mood finally improved considerably.

Lu Ning looked at Chen Yu on the stage, feeling somewhat worried.

Mrs. Chen spoke into the microphone, then looked at Lu Dongyou: "Now, let me introduce you all. This Mr. Lu is Chen Yu's fiancé..."

"Just close friends."

Chen Yu interrupted Mrs. Chen directly, looking at Lu Dongyou: "Mr. Lu and I are currently just friends."

Lu Ning saw the smug look on Lu Dongyou's face vanish instantly, replaced by overwhelming rage in his eyes.

Ha, do you really think you can live off a woman?
