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

Lu Ning heard a familiar voice, turned her head and saw the man walking over from the lawn.

The light shone on him, making his handsome features even more defined.

Ji Chiqian's appearance attracted a lot of attention, after all, he was a highly sought-after eligible bachelor in Beijing's social circle.

Rumors are circulating that there is no engagement between him and the eldest daughter of the Mo family, and other families with daughters are starting to get restless.

Ji Chiqian went straight to Lu Ning's side, looking down at her: "Sorry I'm late."

When Lu Ning saw him appear, she didn't know what to say.

People around were discussing: "My God, is the girlfriend that Young Master Ji mentioned this Miss Lu?"

"Yes, yes, I'd heard that Young Master Ji's girlfriend was a game streamer, but I never expected it to be her."

"I thought it was just a rumor, but it's actually true."

Lu Ning heard the discussion, but she pursed her lips and remained silent.

Ji Chiqian stood beside her and looked up at Mrs. Chen: "My girlfriend came to a friend's birthday party with an invitation, but Mrs. Chen kicked her out. Is there some misunderstanding about her?"

Mrs. Chen was surprised that Ji Chiqian actually came to the banquet. Wasn't it said that Old Mrs. Ji was seriously ill and had gone to the hospital?

Mrs. Chen forced a smile: "What are you saying, Young Master Ji?"

"Mrs. Chen, let me explain to you personally what the misunderstanding is."

Ji Chiqian's tone was cold, as if he was going to stand up for Lu Ning.

Mrs. Chen was surprised that Ji Chiqian publicly acknowledged Lu Ning's status as his girlfriend, and she was also surprised by Lu Ning's abilities.

Mrs. Chen's voice was strained: "It's not a big misunderstanding. Of course, I welcome guests who have received invitations to attend."

"But I heard Mrs. Chan say she wanted to kick her out, there must be a reason, right?"

Ji Chiqian had no intention of smoothing things over; his eyes were icy cold.

Mrs. Gu, who was standing nearby, quickly stepped forward and said, "Young Master Ji, don't keep asking Mrs. Chen. It's all because the Lu family is shameless. They made such a fool of themselves at today's banquet. Some of them still have the nerve to stay here. I feel ashamed for them."

Mrs. Gu was also seething with anger.

It's all because of that shameless adopted daughter of the Lu family who's been clinging to her son, which has led to this ridiculous situation.

Mrs. Gu hates the Lu family to death, and by extension, she dislikes Lu Ning. After all, they all have the surname Lu, so what kind of good girl can they raise?

Now, Lu Ning has actually managed to get close to Ji Chiqian.

As expected, the girls in the Lu family are all ill-mannered, they like to seduce rich men and dream of marrying into wealth.

After hearing Mrs. Gu's words, Mrs. Chen said to Ji Chiqian with some helplessness, "I have no choice. I can't let it affect the banquet."

“My girlfriend has severed ties with the Lu family. The shameful things the Lu family did have nothing to do with my girlfriend.”

Ji Chiqian had already heard about what happened at the banquet on his way here.

Although he guessed that the live stream of the sex scene in the lounge was probably related to Lu Ning, it was the Lu family's own fault, so what did it have to do with Lu Ning?

Seeing how much Ji Chiqian defended Lu Ning, Mrs. Chen naturally didn't know what to say.

But Madam Gu was still unwilling to give up: "Young Master Ji, have you been deceived by Lu Ning? Just now, the Lu family's daughter threw herself at my son in the lounge, trying to seduce him and become a phoenix on a branch. Don't you have any doubts about a girl from that kind of family?"

Ji Chiqian looked over coldly: "If that's what Mrs. Gu says, then I'd like to ask, Gu Yan always takes off his own pants, doesn't he?"

Mrs. Gu's face instantly turned a deep liver color.

People around couldn't help but laugh.

Lu Ning looked up at Ji Chiqian beside her. Did he put poison on his lips today?

Madam Gu, enraged and embarrassed, retorted, "But it was the Lu family girl who threw herself at my son first. The Lu family has a clever plan: the eldest brother will marry into the family, one sister will seduce my son, and another sister will seduce you. If this succeeds, won't the Lu family suddenly rise in social class?"

Ji Chiqian's tone was cold: "Mrs. Gu is wrong again. It's not that Lu Ning seduced me, it's that I wanted to seduce her."

Lu Ning was immediately taken aback by those words.

How can he say anything out loud?

Madam Gu was finally speechless, muttering, "Anyway, they all have the surname Lu, what good daughters can they have? Without parents to raise her, she really has no manners."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ning's face instantly turned cold: "Qin Xiang is not my parents' daughter at all; she's just adopted."

Madam Gu's tone was blunt: "Isn't it the same? What's the difference?"

"The difference is huge."

Ji Chiqian's eyes turned colder: "My girlfriend's parents only raised her, not Qin Xiang, so of course it's different. It's like Mrs. Gu's husband having an illegitimate child outside, but it's not the child you raised. Can you call that the same thing?"

Ji Chiqian directly mentioned the illegitimate child, which angered Madam Gu so much that her face changed color.

But Madam Gu dared not say anything more. After all, having an illegitimate child was really shameful, and she wanted to deal with it quietly. If it became a big deal, it would be difficult to handle.

"Yes, yes, it's different. It's different when there's a man protecting you."

Madam Gu made some sarcastic remarks, not wanting to suffer a loss like this.

Ji Chiqian's eyes turned much colder: "Then Mrs. Gu should reflect on herself. Why doesn't Mr. Gu protect you? Is it because you secretly targeted the illegitimate child and even arranged a car accident to kill him?"

After these words were spoken, Mr. Gu, who had been hiding there without saying a word, finally rushed out and started cursing at Mrs. Gu: "So you really did arrange the car accident, you vicious woman!"

"So what if I made the arrangements? Does that bastard child born from a mistress even deserve to enter the Gu family?"

Madam Gu was so angry that she started cursing.

The middle-aged man raised his hand and slapped Madam Gu, but Madam Gu was not to be outdone and immediately stepped forward to fight back.

One lively event turned into another.

The Gu couple finally slunk away.

Lu Ning was stunned. She knew that Ji Chiqian was standing up for her.

She stole a glance at the man beside her; his profile was sharp and handsome.

Madam Mo then stepped forward and said, "Ah Qian, Madam Gu has always been straightforward and outspoken; she has no ill intentions."

"Even if you don't have bad intentions, you should at least be able to understand human language, right?"

Ji Chiqian's tone was cold. Even a fool could see that he was there to stand up for Lu Ning, but Madam Gu was still trying to put Lu Ning down. So he shouldn't blame him for being impolite.

Madam Mo's expression was also rather unpleasant; she hadn't expected Ji Chiqian to be so protective of that bitch Lu Ning.

Ji Chiqian clearly knew that the two families had discussed the engagement, so why was he slapping the Mo family in the face like this?

Although Madam Mo was unhappy, she still smiled and said, "Ah Qian, Madam Gu is also angry. Today is the Chen family's banquet, can't you give her some face?"

When Lu Ning saw the rumored Madam Mo, she could tell that her relationship with Ji Chiqian was different.

The next second, Lu Ning heard Mrs. Mo say to her, "Miss Lu, you agree, right? After all, it's your friend's birthday party, and so many little incidents are not a good thing."

Lu Ning knew that the Mo family members were all the same.

However, Lu Ning was quite satisfied with the fact that she had already exceeded her target for today's tasks.

Lu Ning smiled and nodded: "You're right."

Chen Yu immediately explained, "Aunt Mo, I don't think there's anything wrong with it, and I won't blame Lu Ning."

Today's events were all thanks to Lu Ning.

Mrs. Mo smiled meaningfully and said, "I know you are all good children."

Mrs. Chen, instead, looked at Ji Chiqian: "Young Master Ji, is this Miss Lu really your girlfriend?"
