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

Lu Ning looked at her parents' portraits and carefully placed the three incense sticks.

She turned to look at Qin Xiang: "Have you forgotten the rules? Wearing mourning clothes and burning three incense sticks for my parents every day?"

Qin Xiang's expression changed instantly: "I... I did it all."

It's just that no one usually notices when she's slacking off, since no one is watching.

But who would have thought that Lu Ning would come back?

Lu Ning could tell from Qin Xiang's expression that the innocent-looking woman hadn't complied, so she spoke directly: "Butler."

The butler immediately brought over mourning clothes and placed them in front of Qin Xiang.

Qin Xiang was still reluctant to wear it: "My belly is big, it's not good for me to kneel."

"Then raise it a little higher, to atone for your father's sins."

"But didn't my dad already turn himself in? What does what happened back then have to do with me?"

Qin Xiang also felt very aggrieved. She was pregnant, and Lu Ning didn't seem to understand her at all.

At this moment, the Lu family appeared.

Qin Xiang clutched her stomach, looking at Lu Wu with a pitiful expression.

Lu Wu knew what it was about as soon as he saw the clothes placed to the side. He said directly, "Qin Xiang, just do as I say. Someone will be watching you and won't let you get hurt."

Qin Xiang was furious. Lu Wu wasn't going to help her either?

Damn it.

Lu Nanfeng watched from the side and said, "Qin Xiang, if you don't want to be kicked out and live a miserable life, you'd better do as I say."

Qin Xiang knew that no matter what she did now, no one would speak up for her, so she had no choice but to obediently do as she was told.

But I always felt wronged.

Lu Ning stood by and watched until Qin Xiang knelt down and kowtowed before getting up. Only then did she turn around and sit on the sofa.

Qin Xiang felt extremely wronged and grabbed Lu Wu's hand, saying, "You don't care about me at all."

"If I really didn't care about you, you would have been kicked out of the Lu family long ago. Would you still be living such a good life? It's much better than you working as a hostess and selling drinks at a nightclub."

Because of the nightclub incident, Lu Wu had lost all his remaining compassion for Qin Xiang.

This woman is an ingrate; he will never treat Qin Xiang well again.

Qin Xiang cried and said, "But you've had such a bad falling out with Lu Ning. Do you think that by doing this to please her, you can get her forgiveness? She no longer has the Ji family as her backer."

"Shut up! This is none of your business!"

Lu Nanfeng snapped at Qin Xiang: "Get out of here, don't get in my way."

Qin Xiang couldn't take it anymore and stormed upstairs.

Lu Nanfeng walked up to Lu Ning and asked, "Have you heard about what happened with the Ji family?"

"What exactly happened over there?"

Lu Ning found it strange that everyone was talking about the Ji family.

If she had known earlier, she should have asked Chen Yu to tell her what had happened.

Lu Nanfeng said, "Madam Ji is ill. It seems she has a kidney problem and needs a kidney transplant."

Lu Ning's expression changed instantly: "What?"

She vaguely remembered that in her past life, Qin Xiang lied and said she needed a kidney transplant, and later her third brother personally pushed her onto the operating table.

Lu Ning touched her waist and could still feel the scars.

Lu Ning asked, "And then?"

"Mrs. Mo underwent a tissue matching test, and it was a perfect match."

Lu Ning's heart sank: "How did you find out about this?"

The matter concerning the Ji family shouldn't have spread so quickly.

Lu Dongyou said, "Mrs. Chen said so."

It's Mrs. Chen again.

Lu Ning recalled the reporters she had met today, and looked at Lu Dongyou: "What information did you reveal to Mrs. Chen?"

Lu Dongyou was a little angry: "What kind of tone is that? Do you think I would reveal crucial evidence to her? Besides, you didn't tell me any of this."

Lu Dongyou was naturally anxious about the case, but Lu Ning hadn't said anything, so even if he wanted to, he wouldn't know anything.

Lu Nanfeng tried to smooth things over: "Ningning probably meant the news reports. This matter hasn't even gone to trial yet. If it's exposed beforehand, it might be detrimental to us."

Lu Dongyou paused for a moment: "If Mrs. Chen insists on reporting this, what can I do? But we have the evidence in our hands, so what are we afraid of?"

Lu Wu spoke up: "What we need to worry about now is whether the Ji family will make any changes. After all, our lawyer is the Ji family's chief lawyer. If the Ji family changes their mind, we need to make plans as soon as possible."

Now, everyone's eyes were on Lu Ning.

Lu Ning looked down at the sofa; she truly didn't know anything about Aunt Ji's situation.

If Mrs. Mo is currently the only person who is a match, it's obvious what the Mo family will offer in exchange.

A hint of mockery flashed in Lu Ning's eyes. This must be why Ji Chiqian didn't dare to come see her.

Moreover, the Ji family was also involved in what happened back then.

So now she's not sure either.

Many images flashed through Lu Ning's mind, and finally she looked up: "We do need to make other preparations and arrange for another lawyer to follow up on this case throughout."

Lu Dongyou: "If you ask me, let's just send the Ji family's lawyer away, so that if the Ji family tries anything funny, we won't lose."

Lu Ning didn't say anything.

Lu Nanfeng tentatively said, "Ningning, I know about what happened between you and Ji Chiqian, and it will be difficult for you to make this decision. But that man's motives for approaching you were impure, so we can't let our guard down."

Hearing these words, Lu Ning felt very sad.

She said expressionlessly, "Prepare a replacement lawyer first, we'll talk about other things later."

The trial hasn't started yet.

At least some further investigation is needed before the trial can proceed.

Lu Dongyou snorted coldly: "Lu Ning, don't get sentimental. Who knows, Ji Chiqian might have approached you back then just to make you soften your heart today."

Lu Ning looked up at Lu Dongyou, her face turning pale with anger.

Yes, that's what everyone thinks.

She was approached by Ji Chiqian and fell for his charms, and now she has to hesitate because of him.

Lu Ning turned and left the hall.

Lu Nanfeng looked at Lu Dongyou: "Why are you saying such rude things?"

“The truth is always hard to hear. I’ve always wondered why Ji Chiqian would fall for Lu Ning, but now everything is clear.”

"If Ji Chiqian really wanted to deal with the Lu family, he would have bankrupted them long ago. Why would he go through such a roundabout way?"

Lu Nanfeng wasn't stupid; how could he not see that Ji Chiqian at least had feelings for Lu Ning?

Unfortunately, the two of them are entangled in something that happened back then.

Lu Wu said sullenly, "Big brother, you really did say something too harsh. Lu Ning used to be so good to us."

Lu Dongyou was rebuked, but when he saw Lu Wu's prosthetic leg, he couldn't say anything.

Lu Dongyou said sourly, "If she's willing to come back to the Lu family, are you still worried about not having a prosthetic leg?"

"That's because you drove her away."

"Don't you have any?"

The two brothers exchanged a glance, neither of them speaking. In truth, they were both filled with regret.

If Qin Xiang hadn't stirred up trouble in the first place, the Lu family wouldn't be in such a bad situation now.

Outside, Lu Nanfeng stopped Lu Ning: "Where are you going? Have a meal at home."

"Need not."

"After all, the case has already started. If we have a meal together, Mom and Dad will be happy to see us."

Lu Nanfeng softened his tone: "Don't pay attention to what your older brother says, but you need to be aware that things will definitely change with the Ji family."

Lu Ning twitched the corner of her mouth: "I know, the person sitting in the back of that car was Ji Chiqian."

Lu Nanfeng couldn't even maintain his composure: "Could it be that he saved you?"
