Upon hearing this, Lu Nanfeng patted Lu Xicheng on the shoulder: "Of course. Is there even a question?"

“It’s different. I think differently from you.”

Lu Xicheng suddenly reacted strongly and became very agitated.

Lu Nanfeng looked at him suspiciously: "Third brother, what's wrong? Is there something you've been hiding from us?"

Lu Xicheng snapped out of his daze: "It's nothing."

He reverted to being the taciturn Lu Xicheng.

But Lu Nanfeng said, "When Ningning was injured before, you treated her. I heard that she woke up once during the treatment and fell off the operating table when she saw it was you."

Lu Xicheng's expression cracked again.

Lu Nanfeng pressed further, "Why was she so afraid of you back then? Did you secretly do something to your sister before?"

"No."

Lu Xicheng answered loudly, but after realizing he had overreacted, he calmed down and said, "I only started learning these things after I went to the island, you know that. I haven't been back all these years, where would I have had the opportunity to do anything to hurt my sister?"

Lu Bei nodded in agreement: "Yes, we all know that."

Lu Nanfeng looked at Lu Xicheng: "But why is Ningning so scared? Have you asked her?"

Lu Xicheng's throat bobbed slightly. How could he dare to ask?

It was around that time that he confirmed some things.

Lu Bei explained from the side, "Ji Chiqian took my sister away back then, so how could we have had a chance to ask her alone? Now she doesn't go home at all, and she doesn't contact us, as if she treats us like strangers."

Every time Lu Bei returned to the Lu family villa, the thought of Lu Ning's former room being empty filled him with unbearable sorrow.

But because of the mistakes he had made in the past, he felt guilty and dared not ask Lu Ning for anything.

Lu Nanfeng also fell silent, and Lu Bei wasn't the only one who thought so.

Lu Xicheng said calmly, "As long as we work together, we will definitely change everything. It's all up to us, and nothing is unchangeable."

Because everything is different now.

So you can do whatever you want.

After thinking about it, Lu Xicheng revealed a confident smile.

Lu Nanfeng noticed the change in Lu Xicheng's expression, a hint of suspicion in his eyes. He felt that the third brother's smile was unsettling.

Not long after, Lu Ning came out of the ward. Madam Ji was still unaware of the poisoning.

She felt that whether or not to tell Madam Ji should be decided by Ji Chiqian.

When she walked out of the ward, Ji Chiqian and Gu Zifeng were standing together, and Lu Xicheng and the other two were standing together.

They were separated by a distance, clearly distinct from each other.

After Lu Ning appeared, everyone looked at her.

Lu Ning walked to the middle and looked at Ji Chiqian: "Auntie's mindset is okay right now. I haven't told her about the poisoning."

Ji Chiqian immediately understood what she meant: "We'll tell her when we have a treatment method here."

Otherwise, knowing that you've been poisoned, and that your best friend was the one who administered it, would be a double blow that could easily crush a person.

Lu Ning nodded. That's fine too.

She then looked at Lu Xicheng: "Can it be cured? Will there be any aftereffects?"

"It can be treated, but it will be a bit troublesome. It seems she has been poisoned for a long time, and the damaged functions of her body will take a long time to recover. Perhaps it will not be able to recover at all; it is impossible to determine."

Lu Ning breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "It's good that it can be treated."

The worst thing is that there is no cure.

When Lu Xicheng saw the smile on her face, he was stunned for a moment and murmured, "This is the first time you've smiled at me."

Lu Ning lowered her eyelids: "How complicated is the treatment? What do I need to prepare?"

“I can handle the preparations. We need a laboratory and the antidote needs to be prepared.”

After hearing these words, Lu Ning looked at Ji Chiqian.

The man nodded: "I will send someone to make arrangements immediately."

Lu Xicheng continued, "I will make a list of the instruments and equipment I need, but they are a bit expensive."

Ji Chiqian turned his head to meet Lu Xicheng's gaze. Their eyes met, but the atmosphere was not harmonious.

He said, "No matter how expensive it is, it's not a problem."

Lu Xicheng snorted lightly: "I'll send an assistant to coordinate with you later."

This arrogant attitude completely disregarded Ji Chiqian.

Gu Zifeng was furious watching from the side, but ultimately remained silent, since only Lu Xicheng could do this at the moment.

You can't afford to offend anyone.

Lu Ning breathed a slight sigh of relief. That would be the end of it, and Aunt Ji would be saved.

At this moment, Lu Xicheng looked at her and asked, "Are you free tonight?"

Lu Ning looked over: "Is something the matter?"

Lu Xicheng smiled and said, "It's alright. Everyone misses you since you haven't been home for so long. If you have time, let's go home and have a meal together."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ning instinctively felt resistant.

Lu Nanfeng added, "Yes, Ningning, we are siblings after all. Although we have had many conflicts, we always agree to come over as soon as you ask for anything."

Ji Chiqian narrowed his eyes slightly: "Can you guys stop trying to morally blackmail her?"

Lu Bei shouted, "How can this be called moral blackmail? We were just making suggestions, we didn't force her."

Lu Nanfeng looked at Lu Ning: "Ningning, we just want to have a meal with you, just a simple meal, nothing more."

Lu Xicheng: "If you're unwilling, then forget it. But as for the Ji family, I will definitely keep my promise to you."

Lu Ning pursed her lips: "Not tonight, how about tomorrow?"

Lu Xicheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay."

The Lu family then left together.

Lu Bei was still somewhat unwilling when he left, feeling that Lu Ning should have gone home with them.

But Lu Nanfeng still managed to pull her away.

After the Lu family left, Ji Chiqian looked at Lu Ning and said, "I just don't want to see you troubled because of my affairs."

This is the last thing he wanted to see.

Lu Ning met those dark eyes, and her heart stirred slightly: "That's not difficult."

It's just going back to the Lu family home for a meal, isn't it?

She could still tolerate this level of discomfort.

Ji Chiqian felt aggrieved: "I will find someone else to take a look. Since we know the cause of the illness, it can't be that only Lu Xicheng can treat it."

Lu Ning nodded: "That's fine."

This is a safer approach.

To be honest, she didn't really trust Lu Xicheng either.

Lu Ning checked the time: "Then I'll go back to school first."

"I send you."

"No need, my car is at the hospital, I can drive back myself."

Lu Ning glanced at Gu Zifeng and said, "Let's go."

Gu Zifeng nodded, and after watching Lu Ning leave, he said to Ji Chiqian, "How good is Lu Ning to you?"

Ji Chiqian's face instantly turned ugly: "I just feel uncomfortable."

That's life. You can't always have everything go your way. Everyone has times when they need help. Now is not the time to worry about these things.

Seeing Ji Chiqian's stern face, Gu Zifeng continued earnestly, "Just consider it as owing Xiao Ningmeng."

"But I don't want to."

"So you owed her so much before? Little Lemon just said she doesn't mind. You're going to give her your whole life, be her slave."

The two were talking when the ward door opened.

Madam Ji stood at the door, looking at Ji Chiqian: "Tell me the truth, is my health not so good?"
