Outside, Lu Ning saw Qin Xiang climb out the window, muttering something about dying.

Lu Wu was very anxious: "Second brother, what if something really happens to her?"

Lu Ning looked over and said, "Don't worry, Qin Xiang's acting skills in this area are unmatched."

"How do you know she's acting? What if it's real?"

Lu Ning's eyes held a hint of mockery: "Weren't you all completely fooled by Qin Xiang back then? If it weren't for me, you'd still be being deceived like stupid dogs."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Lu family lowered their heads in shame.

After all, it's true.

Lu Wu didn't dare to say anything then.

Lu Ning continued, "Now we can only gamble on whether Boss Qin truly cares about his only daughter. If that fails, then we'll have to make other plans. We've been tricked by the Qin family again."

Upon hearing this, Lu Dongyou's expression changed drastically: "Damn the Qin family, if they dare to lie to us again, then don't blame us for being impolite."

Lu Ning looked over: "What can you do?"

Lu Dongyou looked at Qin Xiang sitting by the window: "Then the Qin family will have to pay the price."

Lu Wu exclaimed in alarm, "Big Brother!"

Lu Nanfeng pulled Lu Wu back: "Things aren't that bad yet. Qin Xiang will do it. We've all seen her acting skills in playing the victim."

Not long after, Qin Xiang went downstairs.

Su Jingbai stood by the window and waved to Lu Ning.

Lu Ning breathed a sigh of relief: "There should be a result by now."

Judging from Su Jingbai's expression, it's probably good news.

As the Lu family members walked back, Ji Chiqian stood at the door, quietly watching them.

To be precise, he was looking at Lu Ning.

Lu Nanfeng hesitated, but ultimately said nothing, nor did he stop.

As Lu Ning walked to the end, she looked up and saw Ji Chiqian.

She paused, and his voice came from in front of her: "You'd better keep your distance from Su Jingbai and be mindful of your boundaries."

Lu Ning looked up: "What do you mean?"

“Su Jingbai and I have a bit of a grudge. I’m worried he might do something childish to disgust me or take advantage of you.”

Ji Chiqian originally thought that since so much time had passed, Su Jingbai wouldn't be like this, but when he saw Su Jingbai's appearance just now, he instantly became wary.

Lu Ning smiled and asked, "Did you really steal his girlfriend back then?"

"Am I that kind of person? It's just that the person he likes doesn't like him, but likes me. It's not something I can control."

Ji Chiqian was speechless: "But he took his anger out on me. He's petty, so you should be careful."

"Don't worry, I hired a lawyer to fight the lawsuit, because I value their professional competence. As for your concerns, they shouldn't be a problem."

After Lu Ning finished speaking, she walked forward, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Ji Chiqian hissed. What did she mean by her last sentence?

Is the problem he's worried about not a problem? Does she even know what she's thinking?

Lu Ning went inside.

Qin Laoda has been taken back. Qin Xiang sat in a chair, leaning against Lu Wu's chest and crying.

Su Jingbai walked over: "We know the clues now, let's go get them."

"Where?"

"It's hard to say, lest too many people know and cause unnecessary trouble. Let's just go together."

Su Jingbai glanced at Ji Chiqian, his eyes filled with provocation.

Ji Chiqian: "..."

"How about that?"

Lu Dongyou was the first to disagree. What was wrong with this lawyer? He didn't understand any rules at all.

Su Jingbai completely disregarded the Lu family.

Seeing that Su Jingbai was ignoring him, Lu Dongyou angrily said, "Attorney Su, you are the Lu family's lawyer, what kind of attitude is this?"

Su Jingbai raised an eyebrow: "To add one more point, I am the lawyer hired by Miss Lu, not the lawyer of your Lu family. Don't be so arrogant."

Lu Dongyou was furious. He had heard before that Su Jingbai had a bad reputation, and now it seemed that he was indeed unreliable.

He looked at Lu Ning and said, "Do you really want to let this hothead handle the lawsuit? He won't even know how he lost."

Lu Ning looked over and said, "That's my business."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Su Jingbai and said, "Let's go."

Su Jingbai glanced at the Lu family members, then turned back and waved goodbye to Ji Chiqian.

Ji Chiqian pursed his thin lips, feeling even more displeased.

She regretted hinting to Lu Ning to find Su Jingbai; she should have just let Lawyer Feng come instead.

At this moment, Qin Xiang, heavily pregnant, looked at Ji Chiqian and said in a strained voice, "Mr. Ji, Lu Ning is just like this, don't take it to heart."

As soon as Qin Xiang said this, everyone looked at her.

Ji Chiqian left without even glancing at Qin Xiang, his expression indifferent.

The scene was a bit embarrassing.

In an effort to save face, Qin Xiang quickly explained, "I just wanted to explain things for Lu Ning so that Mr. Ji wouldn't misunderstand. I didn't mean anything by it."

Lu Nanfeng's eyes were filled with mockery: "Stop with your act. We were fooled by you before because we trusted you. Do you really think we're blind to your little tricks?"

Lu Dongyou's tone was indifferent: "Even if Ji Chiqian is blind, he wouldn't be interested in you. Even if he breaks up with Lu Ning, it's not your turn."

If Lu Ning and Ji Chiqian are together, it's a good thing for the Lu family.

We can't let Qin Xiang ruin it.

Qin Xiang was a little unwilling: "But Lu Ning has long since severed ties with the Lu family."

“Lu Ning is also a member of the Lu family. If she marries Ji Chiqian in the future, she will invite our Lu family brothers to attend. We are her family, and our blood ties cannot be severed.”

Lu Dongyou looked at Qin Xiang with disdain: "Someone like you will never understand."

Qin Xiang's eyes instantly reddened upon hearing these mocking words.

Lu Nanfeng looked at Qin Xiang: "Where exactly did your father say the evidence was?"

Qin Xiang shook her head: "He spoke to that lawyer alone; I didn't hear it."

Lu Dongyou was furious: "What use are you?"

Lu Dongyou and Lu Nanfeng turned and left.

Lu Wu sighed: "Qin Xiang, why do you have to do this? As long as you give birth to the child, it doesn't matter where you want to go in the future. I won't stop you from pursuing the life you want."

"Fifth Brother, what are you saying? Why would I leave?"

Although Qin Xiang had this plan, how could she possibly admit it?

Lu Wu's eyes were filled with mockery: "Qin Xiang, you don't need to pretend anymore now. I know you don't like a cripple like me, and I don't want to force you. You give birth to my child, and I'll give you a sum of money to buy out your contract. You'll be free in the future."

Qin Xiang lowered her head, but her heart was filled with excitement. This couldn't be better.

She didn't want to stay in the Lu family and get punished.

-

Lu Ning left with Su Jingbai; she rode in Su Jingbai's car.

Lu Ning glanced at the luxury car's features; it certainly matched Su Jingbai's flamboyant style.

As Su Jingbai drove, he asked, "What do you think of my car?"

Lu Ning nodded: "It's very extravagant, it reeks of money."

Su Jingbai: "..." This doesn't sound like something nice.

Lu Ning looked at Su Jingbai: "Where are we going?"

"I'd like to invite you for a bath and a massage."

Lu Ning looked over in confusion: "Could the evidence be hidden in the bathhouse?"
