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

Lu Ning realized she had said the wrong thing and quickly changed the subject: "Um, it's getting late, I'll hang up now."

She hurriedly hung up the phone, and remembering what she had just said, she couldn't help but cover her face with her hands.

Was she just crazy?!

How could you answer like that?

Lu Ning rolled over on the bed. Her phone rang, and she buried her head in the pillow, not wanting to see anyone.

But then the phone rang again, as if there was some news.

Lu Ning waited a while before picking up her phone and opening it, only to find that it was a message from Ji Chiqian.

"?"

“I can support you with anything, but not the one you just mentioned.”

There are two messages in total.

When Lu Ning saw the last message, she locked her phone and didn't reply.

The main problem is that I don't know how to reply.

She was just trying to make a joke.

At this point, Lu Ning chickened out.

Ji Chiqian on the other end of the phone kept staring at his phone until the screen went dark, but he still hadn't received a reply.

He licked his cheek with the tip of his tongue; what a cunning little fox.

flirt and then run?

Who taught her?

The next day, Lu Ning got up, changed her clothes, and went straight to the lobby on the first floor.

She saw Qin Xiang change her clothes and sit comfortably on the sofa, saying to the housekeeper, "I feel a little nauseous right now and don't want to eat these things. These foods should never be served again."

The new butler hesitated for a moment before saying, "These are all the young lady's favorites. If you would like something else, I can prepare it for you."

The implication was that the young lady's favorite foods would definitely not be taken away.

Qin Xiang immediately became unhappy. She looked at Lu Wu and said, "Fifth Brother, I'm pregnant now and my appetite isn't very good. Can even a housekeeper give me attitude?"

Lu Wu immediately started cursing, saying, "You're just a housekeeper, so you do whatever I tell you to do. From now on, this kind of food is not allowed in the house anymore, do you hear me?"

After all, Qin Xiang was carrying her child.

Hearing this, Lu Ning walked downstairs, her tone cold and sharp: "I've never seen such shameless people as you. This is my home, and I can eat whatever I want. If you don't like it, you'd better get out now."

When Qin Xiang saw Lu Ning, she revealed a smug look.

Qin Xiang was very uneasy last night because she was not sure if the child in her belly was Lu Wu's or when she got pregnant, since her period was often irregular and she would not come for several months.

But after last night's test, the baby is already about two months old.

A paternity test cannot be performed yet, but the timing matches up.

Having escaped death, how could Qin Xiang swallow this insult?

Lu Wu said to Lu Ning, "Your sister-in-law is pregnant, and she's carrying our Lu family's child. How dare you treat her like this?"

Lu Ning rolled her eyes at Lu Wu: "I don't even care about you, why would I care about the little bastard in her belly?"

“Lu Ning, watch your mouth. What do you mean by ‘bastard’? That’s my son.”

"You're so sure about the paternity test even before it's been done?"

Lu Wu paused for a moment before replying, "But I've already checked the timing of her pregnancy; it's about two months along, which matches up perfectly."

"Have you forgotten that during the time when the Chen family held a banquet, Qin Xiang and the eldest son of the Gu family had a live sex show? It seems that it was also during this period."

Upon hearing these words, Lu Wu felt as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water.

Yes, how could he forget that?

Seeing this, Qin Xiang quickly explained, "Lu Ning, don't talk nonsense. That time I was just playing around with Gu Yan. There was no real relationship between us. Besides, Gu Yan is very careful and always takes precautions. There's no way he could have gotten me pregnant."

Qin Xiang gritted her teeth as she thought of this.

This is because Madam Gu is very wary of him; otherwise, he would have already found a way to get pregnant with Gu Yan's child and use the child to gain status.

But at the Chen family banquet that time, things happened suddenly, and Gu Yan didn't have a condom on him.

They definitely didn't take any protective measures that time.

Qin Xiang also had some doubts in her heart, that this child might be Gu Yan's.

But she certainly won't say it now; this child might become her lifeline in the future.

Lu Wu's attitude was no longer as resolute or as happy as before.

After realizing she had upset them, Lu Ning happily told the new housekeeper, "Bring up all the food I like, and tell the others who don't like it to get lost."

The person Lu Ning was referring to was clearly Qin Xiang.

Qin Xiang glared angrily at Lu Ning's retreating figure. She looked pitifully at Lu Wu and said, "Fifth Brother, Lu Ning is deliberately trying to sow discord between us. She'd love for us to become enemies, and she'd love for you to have no descendants."

Lu Wu snorted coldly: "She wouldn't dare! With me here, my child will definitely be safe."

After Lu Wu finished speaking, he glanced at Qin Xiang's lower abdomen and said, "You'd better be sure that the child in your belly is mine, otherwise I will make you wish you were dead."

Qin Xiang couldn't help but shiver. She said in a coquettish voice, "Fifth Brother, can't you trust me based on the feelings between us?"

Lu Ning grabbed Qin Xiang's chin and said with a mocking look, "I used to trust you so much and treat you like a goddess. But what about you? You're a slut in private, sleeping with any man. If it weren't for the fact that you're pregnant with my son, why would I have saved you?"

Lu Wu was not a magnanimous person to begin with.

After his leg injury over the years, he became suspicious, sensitive, and insecure.

Qin Xiang publicly called him a cripple, which deeply hurt him. He used to like Qin Xiang a little, but now that liking has slowly faded away.

Qin Xiang suppressed her anger. If it weren't for that bitch Lu Ning ruining this plan, she would have already taken the money and run away.

Why are they now imprisoned here by the Lu family, unable to do anything?

Qin Xiang couldn't help but wonder anxiously if Lu Ning had really captured his father.

Is it possible for her father's accomplices to rescue him?

At this moment, Qin Xiang hated the Lu family to the core. Once she escaped, she would make them all pay.

At this time, the Lu family members all went to the restaurant for dinner.

The table was covered with all of Lu Ning's favorite foods.

Lu Dongyou and Lu Nanfeng didn't look too good. Last night, Lu Nanfeng learned from his elder brother that Lu Ning hadn't caught Qin Xiang's father, but only an accomplice.

Lu Nanfeng's heart was in his throat.

After discussing it with his elder brother, he decided to imprison Qin Xiang in the Lu family as leverage. As long as Qin Xiang's father was not captured, Qin Xiang would remain a useful pawn.

But Lu Ning probably wouldn't agree to this, so neither of them knew how to bring it up.

Lu Ning didn't care what they were thinking. After she finished eating and drinking her fill, she put down her chopsticks and prepared to leave.

Lu Nanfeng finally couldn't help but speak up: "Ningning, there's something I want to discuss with you."

Lu Ning asked with a mocking expression, "What do you want to discuss?"

Lu Ning had already guessed what they wanted to say; it was nothing more than a question about Qin Xiang's fate.

“We think that the child in Qin Xiang’s belly is most likely your fifth brother’s, and you know his situation, so we’ve decided to let Qin Xiang stay in the Lu family. Of course, as for Qin Xiang’s father, we will absolutely not be soft-hearted because of Qin Xiang.”

Lu Ning was not surprised by her second brother's words.

She guessed they would say that last night.

Lu Ning's lips curled into a mocking smile.

Lu Nanfeng was a little afraid to look Lu Ning in the eye. He forced himself to say, "Ningning, many things are not that simple. After the matter of Qin Xiang's father is investigated, everything will be left to the law."

"Alright, enough with the high-sounding words. It's not impossible for you to let Qin Xiang stay for the time being, but I have one condition."

Lu Nanfeng immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Ningning, what are your conditions?"

"Since Qin Xiang's child belongs to the Lu family, if she wants to stay here, she must wear mourning clothes and kneel and kowtow to my parents every day to atone for her sins because of her identity! Otherwise, how could my parents allow her to enter the house?"
