When Lu Ning saw Bai Lianhua flirting with Ji Chiqian, she stepped forward and pulled Qin Xiang away.

She said coldly, "Don't act like a slut here. Your fiancé is still alive over there!"

Qin Xiang's shamelessness is truly unmatched.

"Sister Ningning, you've misunderstood me. It's so upsetting that you've misunderstood me like this."

Qin Xiang's eyes immediately welled up with tears, and she said with a wronged expression, "I'm saying all this for your own good. After all, if you marry Young Master Ji, the Lu family will be your maternal family and your only support."

"Stop trying to flatter yourself. You think you can be trusted?"

Lu Ning underestimated Qin Xiang's reaction speed.

At this moment, Qin Xiang walked tearfully to Lu Dongyou's side: "Big brother, Sister Ningning really misunderstood me."

Lu Dongyou snorted coldly: "Who told you to fawn over someone who didn't reciprocate your kindness? You deserve it!"

Qin Xiang's expression froze for a moment; she hadn't expected Lu Dongyou to say that!

But doesn't Lu Dongyou want to ease tensions and get Ji Chiqian to let the Lu family off the hook?

If the Lu family really goes bankrupt, what will happen to her plans?

She hasn't even touched the money yet!

Seeing this, Lu Ning laughed out loud: "Did you hear that, Qin Xiang? After all, our Lu family's eldest brother has always been proud and arrogant, and he will never bow his head and admit his mistakes."

Lu Dongyou said coldly, "Lu Ning, I did underestimate your abilities, but I will not admit defeat so easily."

It's absolutely impossible for him to bow his head and apologize now.

Lu Dongyou had been proud for most of his life; how could he possibly bow down to a man he looked down upon? That would be worse than death for him!

Lu Ning nodded: "Very good, I also want to see how long a company like yours, which only knows how to use underhanded tricks, can last."

"I used underhanded tricks, but didn't I still raise you? From childhood to adulthood, every penny you've eaten, drunk, and used has been paid for by me?"

Lu Ning looked over and said, "First of all, the money I spent on school was from the foundation my parents set up. As for living expenses, you took all the family's money to start your business, including the assets I should have received. I won't charge you interest; it's more than enough to cover it!"

She has lived a very frugal life these past few years, a completely different world from Qin Xiang's.

Lu Dongyou said angrily, "How could that be! I've spent so much money on you!"

"Why not? All the money you spent went to Qin Xiang. If you don't believe me, you can ask your second brother!"

Lu Ning stared at him: "I don't owe you anything."

Lu Wu, standing nearby, spoke up: "Lu Ning, what's wrong with spending this money on Xiang Xiang? Shouldn't it be? I think you're just stingy and calculating!"

Lu Ning looked at Lu Dongyou and said, "Did you hear me? Go find whoever you spent the money on. Don't try to extort me!"

Lu Dongyou was so angry that he couldn't utter a single word.

He glanced at Qin Xiang and Lu Wu, those two good-for-nothings, and his headache immediately intensified.

He said angrily, "Aren't you leaving? Are you trying to embarrass yourself by standing here?"

Qin Xiang was a little reluctant to leave. She looked back at Ji Chiqian with regret in her eyes. If she had known this man's identity earlier, she would have won him over long ago.

How could Lu Ning possibly get a free lunch?

Qin Xiang said to Ji Chiqian, "Young Master Ji, it was indeed my elder brother's fault this time, but he was just following Mrs. Chen's orders, so we can't entirely blame the Lu family!"

Ji Chiqian's eyes were icy cold: "You are not worthy to speak to me."

Qin Xiang's smile froze instantly: "Young Master Ji, I know you have misunderstandings about the Lu family because of what happened before, but we and Sister Ningning are always family. If you are with Sister Ningning in the future, the Lu family will always be her family that she can't get rid of."

Qin Xiang is now hoping that Lu Ning can be with Ji Chiqian.

This way, the Lu family's status will rise, and she will be able to meet more wealthy people, and maybe even steal Lu Ning's boyfriend.

Upon hearing these words, Lu Ning stepped forward and slapped Qin Xiang across the face.

Qin Xiang burst into tears: "Sister Ningning, I've said all this because I'm thinking of you."

Lu Ning scoffed: "You know perfectly well what you're up to. Do you really think every man would fall for your seduction?"

"Sister Ningning, I have a fiancé now, how could I possibly have designs on Young Master Ji?"

Qin Xiang quickly looked at Ji Chiqian: "Young Master Ji, Sister Ningning has always had this temper, please don't misunderstand her."

Lu Ning was immediately angered by that tone.

When Ji Chiqian saw Lu Ning's angry expression, a smile flashed in his eyes.

It turns out that Lu Ning still has feelings for him.

Ji Chiqian stepped forward to Lu Ning's side and stared at Qin Xiang: "Lu Ning is right. With such good acting skills, you should develop your career in the entertainment industry. I'm not blind!"

Qin Xiang's expression was somewhat unnatural: "It was all a misunderstanding before."

"Xiangxiang, come here. Don't go over there trying to please them. Have some backbone! Lu Ning just wants us to bow down so she can slap us in the face and vent her anger."

Lu Wu walked over to take Qin Xiang away, but a sharp pain shot through his foot, and he fell to the ground, his prosthetic leg coming off.

Seeing this, Lu Ning's lips curled into a cold smile: "It seems your company's product quality is quite poor. Even if you fabricate a love story, it can't cover up the quality problem."

Lu Wu pleaded with Qin Xiang for help: "Xiangxiang, please help me up."

Qin Xiang saw Lu Wu lying on the ground, a look of disgust flashed in her eyes, but she still went over and helped him up.

Qin Xiang turned to look at Lu Ning: "This isn't a product quality issue, it's just that Fifth Brother isn't used to it yet, that's why he fell. Don't talk nonsense."

Lu Ning looked at Lu Wu: "You're quite tolerant."

Lu Dongyou glanced at Lu Ning: "Just you wait, our company won't lose."

"Stop right there! Who gave you permission to leave?"

Ji Chiqian's tone was icy as he stared at the Lu family members: "You think you can just leave after slandering someone?"

"Then what else do you want?"

Lu Dongyou looked at Ji Chiqian, but he could no longer maintain his superior attitude, which made him feel very frustrated.

Qin Xiang quickly said, "Young Master Ji, my elder brother is also injured now, and you were the one who did it. If this gets out, it will have a bigger impact on you, right? Why don't we just call it even?"

"Yes, if you really want to make a big fuss, you could face a lawsuit if you deliberately hit someone."

Lu Wu deliberately looked at Ji Chiqian: "If your Ji family were to have such negative news, the impact would only be greater."

Ji Chiqian's eyes turned considerably colder: "Then let's give it a try!"

"Brother, let's go. I refuse to believe that this so-called Young Master Ji can do anything!"

Lu Wu tried to pull Lu Dongyou away, but Lu Dongyou didn't move. He looked at Ji Chiqian and asked, "What do you want?"

"According to your Lu family's old traditions, if you want to beg for forgiveness, you have to apologize!"

Ji Chiqian looked at Lu Dongyou: "This is what you used to be best at. Today it's finally your turn. You should be very familiar with the process."

Lu Dongyou's face instantly turned ashen: "You're dreaming!"

"If you won't listen to reason, you'll have to drink the penalty cup. Guards, I'd also like to see if their legs are as hard as their mouths."

Ji Chiqian waved his hand, and several tall, muscular men surrounded him.
