Lu Ning glared at him angrily, wishing she could bite him.

Ji Chiqian's face turned ashen: "Yes, I am that greedy."

If he weren't greedy, if he weren't afraid of losing her, he would have told her who he was long ago.

But he just didn't dare, so he kept putting it off until now.

Delay until the day when it can no longer be delayed.

Lu Ning slapped Ji Chiqian again, and he still didn't dodge.

Ji Chiqian held her hand: "As long as you can vent your anger, you can do whatever you want. I'll give you my life."

Looking at his features so close to hers, Lu Ning turned her head away: "I don't care about your life, it's useless to me. You were the one who watched my parents die, weren't you?"

Ji Chiqian replied with some pain, "I'm sorry."

"If apologies were enough, what would be the point of the police? You've been deliberately getting close to me, just to get my forgiveness so the Ji family can be safe?"

Lu Ning looked at him, her eyes filled with tears.

Her tears and her words were like a knife stabbing into his heart.

Looking at the girl in front of him with tears in her eyes, all of Ji Chiqian's anger vanished in that instant.

He gripped her shoulders weakly: "I know you're upset with me right now, but when I approached you, it wasn't to gain your forgiveness someday. I just wanted to make it up to you."

"That's because you never intended for me to know the truth, nor did you expect that one day I would find out the truth myself!"

At this moment, Lu Ning looked just like a hedgehog, with all her sharp quills raised.

Ji Chiqian was very angry: "So, in your eyes, that's how I am?"

"You've already done it, so why are you afraid of what people will say?"

Lu Ning questioned him, "You clearly knew I was investigating the truth of what happened back then, you clearly knew I was looking for the person sitting in that car, yet you didn't say a word. Then why did you save me in the first place?"

Ji Chiqian was stunned: "You remember everything that happened back then?"

Lu Ning sneered, "Scared?"

Ji Chiqian pursed his thin lips: "This is a good thing."

At least he no longer has to worry about gains and losses.

Lu Ning pushed him away: "You never told me that you were the one who rescued me back then. Were you planning to surprise me at the trial and make me forgive everything your Ji family did?"

“Lu Ning, I’ve never thought of it that way.”

"Then why have you been hiding it from me?"

Lu Ning had wanted to question him for a long time.

When she learned from Qin Xiang that he was in that car, she really wanted to confront him and find out why.

Why lie to her?

Her eyes burned with rage, scorching Ji Chiqian to ashes.

Ji Chi softened his tone, his voice trembling slightly: "Because I'm afraid of losing you."

He had everything from the moment he was born.

He lacks nothing and has had a smooth life since childhood.

Until the day of the car accident, he witnessed a person's death. The sight of the little girl in his arms crying her heart out became a nightmare that haunted him.

He always had that little girl in his heart and never let her go.

So he couldn't help but appear when she came of age, wanting to see how she had been all these years and to see if there was anything he could do for her.

But once they got close, everything went out of control.

Lu Ning reached out and touched his face: "If I could, I would rather have never met you in this life. I would even rather you had never saved me."

Ji Chiqian greedily tried to get closer to her hand, but she coldly withdrew it.

His heart was completely broken.

Lu Ning wiped away her tears: "Ji Chiqian, from the moment I found out you were in that car, you should have known that there was no future for us."

“Lu Ning, you should know what kind of person my mother is. She was tricked by Madam Mo back then, she didn’t know that.”

"But didn't the Ji family also participate in the cleanup and erase your existence? And didn't your Ji family also receive dividends from the Mo family's project back then?"

Ji Chiqian said with difficulty, "She really didn't know."

"Can ignorance erase everything? Can ignorance bring my parents back to life?"

Anger surged in his head, and he uttered the most hurtful words.

Lu Ning regretted her words as soon as she finished speaking.

Lu Ning looked at him: "Do you think I'd still be foolish enough to believe what you say? You want to exonerate Madam Ji? Fine, but don't come looking for me."

Because she won't reconcile.

These people succeeded in their past lives. No one knew about her parents' deaths, and she died later too.

These real culprits are living very well, though.

This is not fair.

Lu Ning looked at the driver and said, "Stop the car."

But the driver dared not move, and dared not stop the car at all.

Lu Ning glared angrily at Ji Chiqian: "Let me go."

"No way, I won't let you go."

Upon hearing this, Ji Chiqian reacted almost instinctively; he didn't want to let go.

He hasn't dared to see Lu Ning these past few days, thinking that their relationship will change after the court hearing.

But when he saw Lu Ning with another man just now, his rationality collapsed instantly, and he couldn't care about anything else.

Lu Ning stared at Ji Chiqian: "What exactly do you want?"

"We won't break up."

Lu Ning laughed in anger: "Do you want to hear what you're saying?"

Ji Chiqian's gaze was cold: "I know very well."

Lu Ning gritted her teeth and punched Ji Chiqian directly.

She used all her strength to hit him in the face.

Fueled by anger, she showed no mercy and even heard the sound of bones breaking.

The luxury car suddenly pulled over to the side of the road.

Lu Ning took the opportunity to get out of the car, and heard the driver scream: "Young Master, are you alright? You're bleeding."

Lu Ning left without looking back and hailed a taxi.

When she got into the car, she rubbed her hand; it hurt a lot.

But no amount of physical pain could compare to the anguish in her heart.

That guy deserved it.

Lu Ning has no regrets whatsoever.

This was a move he taught himself, to be used when dealing with enemies.

She studied very hard at the time, but she never expected that the first person she would deal with would be him.

What an irony.

Lu Ning returned to her apartment. As she walked into the entryway, she saw the shoes he had once worn.

At this moment, all the pain she had been holding back finally poured out.

She squatted on the ground and cried for a long time, until all her tears had dried up.

In the end, Lu Ning threw the shoes into the trash can.

Their lives should never have intersected in the first place.

If the car accident hadn't happened that day, her parents wouldn't have died, and none of this would have happened.

The next day, Lu Ning got up on time and went to school as usual.

But she glanced at the dining table out of habit, where Ji Chiqian had always arranged breakfast.

The dining table is now empty.

Lu Ning only glanced at it, and felt uncomfortable for a short while before quickly returning to normal.

She will get through this.

Lu Ning arrived at the school and went straight to the team's base; there were still some procedures to complete.

However, when Lu Ning arrived at the base, she saw an old acquaintance: Zhao Gao, the manager of the Ball Ball team.

It has indeed been a long time since we last met.

Zhao Gao looked at Lu Ning and said, "I heard you're no longer the captain. I've come to see if there's any chance I can poach you."

Lu Ning smiled and said, "Let's talk in the office."

She also happened to have something she wanted to ask Zhao Gao.

The two returned to the office, and Lu Ning looked at Zhao Gao: "I don't plan to join any team at the moment."

"Is that so? That's a real shame."

Lu Ning looked at Zhao Gao: "There's something I want to ask you, who exactly is the Great God King?"

Zhao Gao clicked his tongue: "You asked this because you guessed it?"

Lu Ning lowered her eyelids: "Is it Ji Chiqian?"

"Yes."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Lu Ning remained silent for a while before sitting down in her chair, a bitter smile on her face.

It really was him.

He was the person she had a crush on in her past life!
