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

Ji Chiqian turned around and naturally saw the Lu family members who had suddenly appeared.

Lu Ning's lips curled into a cold smile: "I guess he heard there was an event at school, so he brought Qin Xiang along to participate, hoping to gain some recognition."

"I think it's mostly because you were speaking on behalf of the students, and some people were jealous, so they rushed over here, wanting to show off as well."

Lu Ning felt that Ji Chiqian's words made a lot of sense.

She and Ji Chiqian returned and, sure enough, saw Lu Dongyou leading the conversation with the invited CEOs, while Qin Xiang chimed in, making everyone quite happy.

After Lu Ning and Ji Chiqian appeared, the scene became much quieter.

When Qin Xiang saw Ji Chiqian, a look of amazement flashed in her eyes. If she had known the man's identity earlier, she would have won him over long ago. Why would she let Lu Ning have him?

Lu Dongyou's expression wasn't very pleasant either.

Ever since he learned that Lu Ning's boyfriend was the heir of the Ji family, he has had mixed feelings these past few days.

He vaguely regretted that if he had treated Lu Ning better back then, would their relationship have been different?

If the Lu family could connect with the Ji family, why would he need to become the Chen family's live-in son-in-law and be looked down upon and ridiculed?

Lu Dongyou was also somewhat annoyed with Lu Ning. This brat knew that the Lu family needed connections at the moment, and she knew Ji Chiqian's identity but didn't tell the family. She was such an ingrate.

Ji Chiqian hadn't seen anyone from the Lu family since the last sample exchange meeting.

At this moment, Qin Xiang took the initiative to walk up to Lu Ning and said, "Ningning, you're going to speak on stage as a representative, why didn't you tell your family? We would have loved to support you!"

"Support? As Maple Leaf's competitors, we don't even know what you're trying to copy."

Lu Ning was also very blunt in her speech.

Qin Xiang's eyes instantly welled up with tears: "Sister Ningning, you're overthinking it. We're family, after all. Even though we're competitors, we're still family in private."

As Qin Xiang spoke, she glanced at Ji Chiqian and said, "Young Master Ji, we really want to repair our relationship with Sister Ningning."

Ji Chiqian replied coldly, "That's none of our business!"

The implication is that your desire to repair your relationship has nothing to do with Lu Ning.

Qin Xiang's expression was somewhat unnatural: "Young Master Ji, you still have some misunderstandings about us."

"You just need to know it in your hearts."

Ji Chiqian's tone was extremely cold.

Lu Dongyou snorted coldly and looked directly at the principal, saying, "Xiangxiang is actually just as excellent as Lu Ning, but she is more low-key, so outsiders don't know about this. I brought her back to school today so that she could set a good example for her classmates."

The principal replied with a smile, "That's a good thing. If we had known beforehand, we would have let Qin Xiang speak on stage. After all, they are sisters, and this would be a good thing for their reputation."

The principal couldn't be happier.

We could also arrange a lecture for the Lu family later.

Ji Chiqian spoke up: "Principal, haven't you heard about what happened at the sample exchange meeting a while ago? The Lu family is suspected of plagiarism. Although they have suppressed this matter, if it is exposed in the future, the school will not be able to enjoy its reputation either."

The principal's expression froze upon hearing this.

And this thing?

He'll have to investigate this thoroughly later.

Lu Dongyou looked coldly at Ji Chiqian: "This matter has been resolved. Is it inappropriate for Mr. Ji to say this?"

"You think you can rest easy now? I can make you suffer eternal damnation at any time!"

Ji Chiqian's tone was exceptionally arrogant.

No one dared to utter a sound.

Lu Dongyou was so angry that his face turned pale, but he also knew that on the day of the sample exchange meeting, he had indeed inadvertently left a handle that Ji Chiqian had seized upon.

hateful!

The principal could tell that Ji Chiqian and the Lu family were at odds, seemingly due to business competition, but he couldn't afford to offend Ji Chiqian because of the Lu family.

After all, Ji Chiqian's network of connections is far more important than that of the Lu family.

The principal quickly smoothed things over, saying, "Today's meeting is over. If there are any events another day, we will invite everyone again."

Qin Xiang felt very uncomfortable.

After all, Qin Xiang was insanely jealous when she saw someone share Lu Ning's speech on WeChat Moments. She felt that she could also speak as a representative, which is why she tried to get Lu Dongyou to bring her over.

Unexpectedly, Ji Chiqian's words made the principal back down.

hateful!

Qin Xiang couldn't help but look at Lu Ning, her voice sharp: "Sister Ningning, you wouldn't be worried that I'll steal your thunder, so you deliberately had Mr. Ji stop me, would you?"

Lu Ning scoffed, "Why would I worry about a plagiarist like you stealing my thunder?"

Qin Xiang was so angry when she heard the word "plagiarism" that she felt dizzy. Just as she was about to deny it, her older brother stopped her.

Qin Xiang finally calmed down, realizing that Lu Ning now had the support of the Ji family's heir.

If you anger that person, they could bring the Lu family to ruin.

At this critical juncture, Qin Xiang had no choice but to endure it.

Lu Ning glanced at the Lu family members, then turned and left. She thought they had some other plans, but it turned out they were just there to annoy her.

Qin Xiang watched Lu Ning and Ji Chiqian leave together, that proud and arrogant man following closely behind that bitch Lu Ning.

Qin Xiang felt very uncomfortable: "Big brother, look at Lu Ning, she's getting more and more outrageous."

"Let's be patient for now and wait until the company project is successful. Besides, I heard that the old lady of the Ji family doesn't approve of them being together, and Lu Ning has a long road ahead of her."

Qin Xiang revealed a gloating expression after hearing this, saying that Lu Ning, that bitch, would be abandoned by the Ji family sooner or later.

"Mr. Lu, what a coincidence that we meet here."

Mo Shiyi led Mo Shanshan in. If they could cooperate with the Lu family, they could deliver a fatal blow to Lu Ning in the future.

Lu Dongyou raised an eyebrow. It was actually the Mo family who had come to him of their own accord?

-

Lu Ning and Ji Chiqian went to Liyuan for dinner.

After the food was served, Lu Ning looked at the man in front of her and asked, "What did you find out?"

"eat first."

Ji Chiqian served her some food, but Lu Ning didn't touch it, staring at him longingly.

Ji Chiqian reluctantly put down his chopsticks: "I heard you've been investigating that new energy project the Mo family had years ago?"

"Yes. I also asked Chen Yu, but because a long time has passed, I didn't find anything."

Ji Chiqian began, “There were quite a few competitors for that project, the strongest of whom was Lu’s Company, which is your parents’ company.”

"My parents?"

Lu Ning began to carefully recall the development of Lu's Company. Right, it seems there was such a thing.

No wonder she felt the words "new energy project" on the banner looked familiar.

She looked up at Ji Chiqian: "So, in order to monopolize this project, the Mo family deliberately caused a car accident that killed my parents, so that they would never have a chance to compete with the Mo family again?"

"It's very likely. At that time, the Mo family was also facing a bankruptcy crisis, and this new energy project was the only chance to bring them back to life."

The Mo family wouldn't give up, so they took the risk.

Lu Ning's eyes were red and swollen: "Then who was the person sitting in the back of the Mo family's car?"

That day, everyone associated with the Mo family was attending a celebration banquet for the new energy project.

It's as if they knew in advance that the Mo family would definitely win the bid.

Who is the person inside the car?
