This night was destined to be sleepless for many.

School dormitory.

Lu Ning, Chen Yu, and Chen Guoguo huddled together, whispering to each other.

Chen Guoguo looked at them with a smile: "You two are really something. Lu Ning and Young Master Ji have been together for so long, and they haven't crossed the final line. But A Yu, although they're not together yet, has already slept with him."

Chen Yu blushed and remained silent.

Lu Ning glanced at Chen Guoguo: "Ji Chiqian and I haven't been together for very long at all."

"Stop pretending. You've known each other for so long, more than friends but not quite lovers. What a wonderful relationship!"

Lu Ning blushed and said, "Actually, I don't know how to deal with what's going on between him and me."

After all, the Ji family didn't approve of them being together.

Lu Ning had witnessed Old Mrs. Ji's opposition before; the old woman lying in the hospital bed pleaded with her, how could she bear to refuse?

But after everything that happened, she couldn't let go and could only maintain a secret relationship with Ji Chiqian.

Chen Guoguo continued, "You two are quite bold, actually discussing time in front of men. You must have gotten a severe lesson for it, right?"

Lu Ning and Chen Yu both blushed.

The three girls talked for a long time, and eventually they all fell asleep.

The next day, Lu Ning woke up because she had something very important to do that day.

Now that Qin Xiang is alright, she should definitely go to the police station to report the incident and have the accident from back then reinvestigated.

Chen Yu opened her eyes and looked at Lu Ning: "Do you need me to go with you?"

"No need, I can go by myself. If you go, and the Chen family arranges for paparazzi to do something, it will have a bad impact on you."

"I'm not afraid of being influenced."

Lu Ning held Chen Yu's hand: "I know, but you've helped me so much, I should handle the rest myself. Just keep an eye on the public opinion for me, the Mo family definitely won't let this go."

"I know. I'll let you know immediately if anything happens. This time, we'll definitely make the Mo family pay the price."

Lu Ning nodded: "Yes."

In both this life and the previous one, the Mo family has been at large for far too long.

After Lu Ning finished washing up, she sent a message to Ji Chiqian, but he didn't reply.

Will there be any changes?

Soon after, Ji Chiqian called: "I have something to do here and will be late. I've already arranged for someone to take Qin Xiang's father to the police station to turn himself in."

"What's the matter with you?"

My mother is sick and in the hospital.

Lu Ning couldn't discern anything from his voice, but it seemed that Madam Ji had been hospitalized for the second time.

She thought for a moment and asked, "Is Aunt Ji alright?"

She remembered that the old lady of the Ji family didn't seem to be in very good health. If Aunt Ji were to fall ill again, Ji Chiqian would definitely be in a bad mood.

"There doesn't seem to be any major problem at the moment; she's just upset."

Is it because of what happened between us?

Lu Ning knew that Aunt Ji did not want her to be with Ji Chiqian.

"Don't overthink it, it has nothing to do with you."

Ji Chiqian did not expect that Lu Ning would think of herself.

Worried that Lu Ning might overthink things, he continued, "It's because of the Mo family. People from the Mo family came to my mother before, wanting her to help, but my mother didn't agree. So she got sick from the anger."

After hearing these words, Lu Ning fell silent. So that's why.

She knew that Madam Ji and Madam Mo were best friends for decades and had a very good relationship, so it was to be expected that Madam Mo would seek help from the Ji family after such an incident.

Lu Ning thought for a moment and said, "But Aunt Ji has always believed Madam Mo's words and stood on the Mo family's side. You must be in a dilemma, caught in the middle."

"Silly girl, why are you thinking so much? My mother has been deceived by the Mo family all along. Now she probably sees the true colors of the Mo family and can't accept it, which is why she got sick. It has nothing to do with you."

Lu Ning still felt a little bad.

"You don't need to think too much about it. I'll take the person to the police station as agreed. Li Man will come to pick you up later. You can go there first."

"Okay, I understand. You can stay at the hospital and take care of Aunt Ji. I can manage on my own here."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Ning set off without giving it much thought.

On the other end of the phone, Ji Chiqian seemed preoccupied; this day had finally come.

At this moment, Madam Mo walked to Ji Chiqian's side with red eyes: "I don't know why your mother fainted from such anger. Let the doctor give her a thorough examination; I'm worried it might be due to other reasons."

Ji Chiqian said coldly, "This is a matter for the Ji family. Please leave immediately."

Mrs. Mo looked somewhat embarrassed: "Your mother and I only had a little argument. Our relationship of so many years will be fine soon. One thing at a time, I still care about her health."

Ji Chiqian was disgusted by these words.

He looked at Madam Mo with disgust and said, "If you were worried about her health, you shouldn't have taken advantage of her, nor should you have confronted her last night. Otherwise, how could she have gotten so angry?"

Ji Mo rushed over, glaring angrily at Madam Mo, and said, "You wicked woman, you've been using my mother since we were little. Do you deserve to be her best friend? You don't deserve it at all, get out of here!"

In fact, Ji Mo had been putting up with the Mo family for a long time.

Unfortunately, his mother had always favored the Mo family, and as men, he and his brother couldn't say anything about the interactions between women.

But who could have imagined that Madam Mo would be so vicious, taking advantage of her mother time and time again!

Ji Mo's words were so direct that Madam Mo felt she had lost face.

Madam Mo said, "I have such a good relationship with your mother, I won't hold it against you younger generation."

Ji Chiqian looked at Madam Mo and said, "You should be worrying about yourself right now. The police will be coming to reinvestigate the car accident from back then soon. Instead of wasting your time sowing discord here, you should think about how to spend money to hire a good lawyer so you can spend fewer days in jail."

Mrs. Mo was stunned when she heard these words.

Her expression changed instantly, and her voice became sharp: "Ji Chiqian, aren't you and your whole family afraid of retribution for doing this? Your family is also implicated in what happened back then."

Ji Mo said indignantly, "What nonsense are you talking about? This is clearly something your family did. What does it have to do with my brother?"

"You don't know this yet, do you? Your brother was in the car that killed Lu Ning's parents back then. Do you think he had a part in it?"

Ji Mo's expression immediately changed. Was his older brother also in that car?

Jimo finally connected the dots of what had happened recently, no wonder his mother was so angry.

But Ji Mo quickly realized, "So what if my brother was in that car? He wasn't the one driving; it was your Mo family's driver."

“But if it weren’t for your mother and him urging the driver to hurry up, how could they have run the red light? So he’s partly to blame.”

Mrs. Mo is no longer pretending at all.

We must drag the Ji family down with us.

Upon hearing this, Ji Mo couldn't believe it at all. Was there really something more to the story from back then?
