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

The car was very quiet, and every minute felt incredibly long.

Lu Ning slowly withdrew her hand: "I'm sorry, I can't agree."

"Why? There's anything else you want to do, and I can do it for you. Including with the Mo family!"

Lu Ning looked at the other person: "Mrs. Mo has been your best friend for so many years, how could you do this to her?"

A struggle flashed in Madam Ji's eyes: "As long as you agree, I can do it."

“I don’t need you to do anything. Now that we have the evidence and the witnesses, Mrs. Mo will pay the price.”

Lu Ning looked at Madam Ji in front of her and said, "As for you, just focus on recovering. Even if you are sentenced, it won't be for long."

Just as Mrs. Ji said, she had been kept in the dark all along. With Attorney Feng around, Mrs. Ji would not have been severely punished.

"Lu Ning, I'm so sorry."

With tears in her eyes, Madam Ji said, "Actually, I also had my own selfish motives, but now I can finally say sorry to you openly and honestly."

Lu Ning glanced at her: "You really should apologize."

She got out of the car, and the cold wind outside made her feel much more awake.

Looking at the bare branches, Lu Ning felt a sense of desolation.

She still prefers summer; although it's hot, it's warm.

In her past life, when she was locked up in a mental hospital, the hardest time was winter. The heating in her room was deliberately turned off, and she was covered in frostbite.

I was truly desperate at that time.

She scratched a spot on her hand; this was where she had suffered from chilblains in her past life.

But in her entire life, she never grew up even once.

This time, she's not the one who should be in despair.

Lu Ning watched the SUV drive away. It was a girl driving a very imposing SUV, but somehow there was nothing wrong with it.

Lu Ning drove directly to the Maple Leaf Company building.

She stared at the company in a daze. After all, Maple Leaf Company had once helped her realize her dream. The achievements that had been taken from her in her previous life were now being realized here.

She should still thank Ji Chiqian.

After entering the company, Lu Ning banished her irritable feelings; now she was there to work.

These days, if you want revenge or to start a new life, you can't be without money.

Moreover, she hired a very expensive lawyer to fight the case, which emptied most of her savings.

If the new product launch goes smoothly and the second-generation product is quickly updated, then her share of the profits will only increase.

If Maple Leaf Company successfully goes public in the future, she will become extremely wealthy.

Although she wasn't rich compared to that person, she was quite content.

After Lu Ning entered the office, she discussed with her colleagues how to improve the product, and time flew by.

We all made plans to have dinner together that evening.

As Lu Ning and her colleagues walked out of the conference room, they saw that all-too-familiar figure.

Ji Chiqian and Gu Zifeng stood together, seemingly discussing something.

However, Ji Chiqian had injuries on his face, his handsome profile was bruised, and he was wearing a brace on his nose.

At this moment, the atmosphere became somewhat subtle.

When Lu Ning saw him again, she tried her best to appear calm.

She remembered punching Ji Chiqian hard once, but she was so angry at the time that she didn't even notice where she hit him.

All I know is that she punched him in the face.

I didn't expect to get hurt so badly; it seems like my nose is broken.

Lu Ning only glanced at him quickly before looking away. Was this man here to settle scores with her?

But she wasn't afraid, after all, it was he who forced her to take her away back then.

They have now broken up.

Moreover, this wasn't the first time she and Ji Chiqian had broken up; they had broken up once before.

Ji Chiqian had been keeping an eye on the meeting room; he knew she was inside.

And he came here for her.

Even with injuries on his face, he came over without hesitation.

Gu Zifeng tried to smooth things over, saying, "It's a get-together, right? I've made reservations, everyone should come."

Her colleagues were all very happy, but Lu Ning lowered her eyelids and remained silent.

Lu Ning followed her colleagues back to the office area.

Many colleagues whispered among themselves, "Did you see that? That person still has injuries on their face."

"It's obvious he was beaten up. Who's so bold as to hit that guy?"

As they were talking, the colleague looked at Lu Ning and asked, "Do you know?"

Everyone knows that Lu Ning is with that guy from the Ji family. It would be such a pity if he got punched in such a handsome face and was disfigured.

Lu Ning coughed and mumbled, "I don't know either."

She can't very well admit that she hit him, can she?

As Lu Ning walked away, she had a persistent feeling that someone was always behind her.

Ji Chiqian's gaze did indeed follow that direction.

Gu Zifeng patted his shoulder: "Stop looking, let's go eat together later."

Ji Chiqian remained silent: "My mother went to see her."

Gu Zifeng paused, "What did you say?"

"I don't know."

Ji Chiqian stared greedily at her retreating figure, but dared not take a step closer.

Gu Zifeng looked at him and said, "You were almost disfigured, so take it easy. I think Aunt Ji is probably going to explain what happened back then and put in a good word for you."

Ji Chiqian paused for a moment, then said, "We have news about the kidney donor."

"Really? That's great. The Mo family's disgusting tricks are going to fail."

Gu Zifeng was quite happy. No wonder Ji Chiqian dared to come over; it turned out it was because of this.

After exchanging greetings with her colleagues, Lu Ning decided to leave immediately, not intending to attend the dinner party.

The reason is simple: she doesn't want to see Ji Chiqian.

Especially since I had only met Ji Chiqian's mother before coming to the company.

As Lu Ning was leaving in the elevator, someone blocked the elevator from entering. That person had incredibly long and slender hands, a tall and straight figure, and handsome features.

The only difference was that his face was injured.

Lu Ning's pupils contracted; she hadn't expected him to come.

Ji Chiqian simply pried open the elevator door and stood in front of her, looking at her with a cold gaze.

Lu Ning felt a little uncomfortable after being stared at for a while: What does this person want to do?

Just as Lu Ning was about to say something, he walked right in.

Lu Ning looked at the man who walked in with a hint of wariness in her eyes, but she only moved her eyelids and did not turn her head.

Soon, Ji Chiqian's voice came from beside him: "Aren't you going to eat?"

Lu Ning looked down at her toes, not wanting to pay him any attention.

Ji Chiqian knew her temper and held back: "Company dinner, do you want to stand out?"

"none of your business?"

Lu Ning's voice was a little angry; he was meddling quite a bit these days.

Ji Chiqian leaned against the elevator, looking down at her lowered head: "Are you avoiding me?"

Lu Ning sensed something from the man's tone and turned to look at him: "Who wants to avoid you?"

"If you're not avoiding me, why did you run out alone? Why aren't you coming with the others?"

Lu Ning stepped forward and grabbed Ji Chiqian by the collar: "Do you believe me or not...?"

At that moment, the elevator doors opened again, and it was still on the same floor.

Her colleagues, who were standing outside, witnessed her grabbing the big boss by the collar, looking fierce and menacing.
