Upon hearing this, Lu Ning looked over coldly. Sure enough, her elder brother was still reluctant to give up the Chen family's support and assistance.

She sat on the sofa: "Then how can I believe what you're saying is true?"

"What do you mean?"

"Literally, you just blurted out that you'd found a clue, something you hadn't found in all these years. Do you think I'd believe that?"

Lu Ning has calmed down now.

She felt that Lu Dongyou's claim of having uncovered more clues might not be true.

It's possible that he just said that on purpose to keep her calm.

Lu Dongyou narrowed his eyes slightly: "If you insist on having doubts, then there's nothing I can do. I've been investigating clues for many years, so of course I'm much faster than you, which is normal."

"But I don't believe what you're saying."

Lu Ning looked at Lu Dongyou, seemingly unfazed.

Lu Dongyou pondered for a moment, then sighed: "Lu Ning, I'm the older brother, after all. Investigating the truth behind Mom and Dad's deaths is what we should do. We have no conflict of interest in this matter, so you don't need to be so wary of me."

"But have you forgotten how many times you've threatened me with my parents' situation?"

Lu Ning remained expressionless, reminding the shrewd and calculating older brother in front of her not to forget what he had threatened her with before.

Lu Dongyou covered his mouth and coughed, "Wasn't it because you were disobedient before that I..."

But when Lu Dongyou saw Lu Ning's face growing colder, he suddenly couldn't bring himself to utter those grand principles.

After all, there's no point in talking about it; Lu Ning is completely unyielding now, refusing to listen to reason.

Lu Dongyou finally adjusted his expression: "Lu Ning, the Lu family is at a critical juncture right now. The Chen family is the largest investor. If Mrs. Chen withdraws her investment, the Lu family will not be able to hold on and will go bankrupt."

"Who gave you the courage to continue investing in AI projects? You even failed in the bidding process before."

Lu Ning's words were tinged with probing; she wanted to know why her older brother would cooperate with PZ Company.

"Lu Ning, are you afraid that Lu's Group will compete with Maple Leaf Company in the future? Business competition is normal. Even if I'm not there, other companies will come along. Wouldn't it be better if we, brother and sister, divided the market?"

Lu Ning lowered her eyelids: "Of course it's not good. I heard you're also cooperating with foreign companies. Have you investigated the background of that PZ company?"

"PZ Company is so famous, does it really need investigation? They have partnerships with many large companies, and those companies have made a lot of money."

Lu Dongyou wasn't new to running a company; he would definitely conduct the necessary investigations.

Lu Ning knew this would happen; otherwise, how could PZ Company have fooled so many people in its past life? Even the Ji Group was fooled.

Lu Ning looked at Lu Dongyou: "What you should do most right now is to get rid of this person who has utterly disgraced you. Otherwise, do you think everyone in the Chen family is a fool?"

After Lu Ning finished speaking, she went upstairs.

As she passed Lu Wu's room, she heard Qin Xiang's panting voice coming from inside: "Fifth Brother, be gentle, it hurts!"

Lu Ning paused, feeling a wave of nausea.

The innocent woman was really willing to go all out and sleep with him?

She remembered that in her previous life, Qin Xiang and Gu Yan were engaged and appeared to be very virtuous, but in this life, Qin Xiang has fallen to this state.

Lu Ning returned to her bedroom and thought about Qin Xiang sleeping with the housekeeper. If Fifth Brother found out about this, would he abandon Qin Xiang immediately?

But if Qin Xiang is directly kicked out and can't work on Lu Dongyou's artificial intelligence project, how can we find evidence of Qin Xiang's connection with PZ Company?

Qin Xiang will definitely pocket some money in the process.

Lu Ning is currently monitoring Qin Xiang's account, and she will receive a notification if a large sum of money enters the account.

Qin Xiang won't keep the money; she'll definitely transfer it to her still-living father.

The man who appeared at the auto repair shop is Qin Xiang's cousin, and nothing unusual has been noticed about him recently.

Lu Ning thought for a long time, then silently exhaled.

She didn't know what the connection was between the Mo family and Qin Xiang's father, and she was worried that investigating the Mo family would alert them, so she didn't dare to make any rash moves and could only keep an eye on Qin Xiang.

Let's wait a bit longer; Qin Xiang will definitely make her move next.

Now, even the seemingly innocent girl has gradually lost everything. After the banquet scandal, her path to marrying into a wealthy family has been completely ruined.

Now she can only submit herself to Lu Wu.

Lu Ning thought about it carefully and realized that she had gained a lot: friendship, love, and career.

The next day.

After getting up, Lu Ning went downstairs and heard Qin Xiang and Lu Wu flirting and joking with each other in the restaurant.

After Lu Ning arrived at the restaurant, she saw Qin Xiang sitting in Lu Wu's lap, her face flushed.

She simply grabbed a sandwich from the table and left, not wanting to stay there and have her eyes polluted.

"Stop right there! Did I say you could leave?"

Lu Wu hugged Qin Xiang, feeling extremely pleased: "You have no manners at all. Don't you know how to greet me or your sister-in-law and say a few words?"

Lu Ning turned around, a cold smile playing on her lips: "I've never been one to speak very pleasantly."

"Then you should learn to say nicer things."

With a smug look on her face, Qin Xiang quickly said, "Fifth Brother, let it go. Sister Ningning has never liked me, so I won't hold it against her."

Lu Ning's gaze fell on Qin Xiang, and then she asked, "Did you take your birth control pill yesterday?"

After Lu Ning said that, Qin Xiang blushed deeply and said, "Fifth Brother, why does she ask about everything?"

Lu Wu quickly said, "Lu Ning, don't be so disrespectful. Is this something you should be asking? Xiangxiang and I are getting engaged soon. Once we have a child, we can just have it."

Lu Ning sneered, "Are you sure the child you give birth to will be yours?"

"Lu Ning, don't talk nonsense! My child, how could I not know it's mine!"

Lu Ning's lips curled into a cold smile: "Have you forgotten that Qin Xiang was with Gu Yan last night? Do you think they used protection?"

These words made Qin Xiang's face turn deathly pale. She gritted her teeth and glared at Lu Ning. Did this bitch really not like her?

Lu Wu seemed to have figured something out, and when he turned to look at Qin Xiang, his expression turned grim.

He really hadn't expected that.

Qin Xiang burst into tears: "Waaah, Fifth Brother, I know Sister Ningning has never liked me, but she can't ask me such a question to humiliate me."

But Lu Wu shoved Qin Xiang to the ground and grabbed her hair fiercely: "Then tell me, when you two were having sex yesterday, did you use a condom or not?"

Because he didn't use protection when he was with Qin Xiang last night.

Lu Ning was somewhat surprised when she saw Lu Wu's fierce appearance. Wasn't Lu Wu Qin Xiang's lapdog?

It seems that Lu Wu's attitude has changed since he realized that Qin Xiang is no longer the noble and innocent girl.

That's right. A man like Fifth Brother, who has psychological problems, is a good match for Qin Xiang.

Qin Xiang felt a sharp pain in her scalp. She stared at Lu Wu in disbelief, as if she didn't recognize the man anymore.

Qin Xiang quickly said, "Fifth Brother, are you willing to believe Lu Ning rather than me now?"

Lu Ning clicked her tongue: "I was just giving you a friendly reminder, so you won't get pregnant and not even know who the father is. I'm not lying, after all, it wasn't me who told you to mess around with Gu Yan in the lounge, you were the one who lifted your skirt up, weren't you?"

Qin Xiang practically screamed at Lu Ning, yelling, "Shut up, you bitch!"

"I'm a slut? Then you, a woman who cheats on her husband, messes around with other men in the lounge, and doesn't even use a condom, aren't you the most despicable of all?"

After hearing this, Lu Wu raised his hand and slapped Qin Xiang hard across the face.

Lu Wu's eyes were red: "Xiangxiang, you know I've always liked your innocent and kind nature. Tell me, did you take any precautions?"

Qin Xiang was stunned. She never expected that Lu Wu, that good-for-nothing sycophant, would actually dare to lay a hand on her.
