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

Lu Ning looked up and met those eyes.

He was probably saying that he envied Chen Yu for having a bodyguard/boyfriend who could cook.

Although her boyfriend hasn't been made public yet, Lu Ning feels it's about time.

I never expected that Ji Chiqian would actually learn to cook himself?

This is quite surprising.

Ji Chiqian pinched her cheek: "What, you think I can't?"

"No, but you're so busy all the time, wouldn't cooking be a waste of your time?"

Lu Ning had also worked at Maple Leaf Company for a while, and she knew that when work got busy, there really wasn't time to do these housework chores.

Actually, she accepts ordering takeout and doesn't think there's anything wrong with it.

Ji Chiqian turned around: "Go wait at the table."

Seeing that he didn't want to talk to her, Lu Ning went straight to the dining table to wait. Actually, she could cook.

In the past, in order to please her older brothers, she specifically researched each of their hobbies.

But in the end, it was all fed to the dogs.

Soon, a Western-style breakfast was placed in front of Lu Ning.

Ji Chiqian probably wouldn't make a breakfast that's too complicated.

Ji Chiqian felt somewhat frustrated. Cooking was indeed not as simple as he had imagined; like conducting an experiment, there were many things to pay attention to.

But as long as you spend more time, there won't be any problems.

Lu Ning took a bite of the poached egg: "It tastes alright."

Ji Chiqian sat down as well, his tone slightly arrogant: "I told you this wasn't a difficult thing."

Lu Ning smiled; this guy was getting smug.

After finishing the meal, Ji Chiqian asked, "Are you free to go home today?"

"Yes, it's the weekend and I don't have classes."

Lu Ning looked at him: "And what about you?"

"available."

Upon hearing those two words, Lu Ning paused: "Aren't you busy?"

Ji Chiqian put down his chopsticks and looked at her intently: "Ji Mo has made great progress in the company recently, and he can handle many things now."

Lu Ning nodded: "That's good. I was just afraid of delaying your plans."

"You don't need to be so polite with me."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ningting looked at the fried egg in front of him and his heart skipped a beat.

Just then, Lu Ning's phone rang.

She glanced at it; it was Lu Nanfeng's call. "The lawsuit is over, is there anything else?"

Lu Ning thought for a moment and then answered the call: "Is there anything else?"

“I originally planned to hold a funeral for Qin Xiang, but the hospital said that her body had been taken away by her mother.”

"what?"

Lu Ning, clutching her phone, asked, "Haven't you found her mother's whereabouts yet?"

"We couldn't find it, and the body is gone too. I'm not worried about the body, but Qin Xiang's mother's appearance was too strange, and she took the body away for no reason. Was she worried that we would do something to the body?"

Lu Nanfeng felt something was off, so he immediately called Lu Ning.

Lu Ning never expected that the woman who had been hiding and never showed her face would actually take the body away secretly.

She said, "Maybe they really are worried that we'll dispose of the corpses? They're the kind of people they are, so they're worried that others will be too."

"Ningning, I'm still worried that Qin Xiang's mother will retaliate. After all, birds of a feather flock together, and with her lurking in the shadows, it's impossible to guard against her."

"so what?"

"So you have a good relationship with Mr. Ji, right? Ask Mr. Ji to help you find someone. Of course, we will also try our best to find someone, but no matter what, many hands make light work. If we can resolve this matter sooner, I won't have to worry about them retaliating against you."

After listening, Lu Ning said indifferently, "Instead of worrying about retaliation against me, you should worry about whether you will retaliate against yourselves."

"If it's really just targeting us, then I don't need to worry too much. I'm just worried that it might affect you."

Lu Nanfeng knew better than anyone how much Lu Ning wanted a new life.

After listening to her words, Lu Ning paused for a moment and said, "You don't need to worry about my affairs. I will handle them myself."

After saying that, Lu Ning hung up the phone.

She looked at Ji Chiqian in front of her: "You heard what was just said, what are you thinking?"

Lu Ning never intended to hide these things from Ji Chiqian.

Ji Chiqian calmly poured her some milk; she had been so busy talking that she hadn't drunk any milk.

He replied calmly, "The other party took the body away because they were afraid you would use it as leverage against them."

"But Qin Xiang hasn't been doing too well lately, yet we haven't seen Qin Xiang's mother doing anything. Now that she's dead, she suddenly appears, and she's worried about being threatened by a corpse? That doesn't make sense."

Lu Ning felt that Qin Xiang's mother was definitely a suspect as well.

She didn't want to let the murderer slip through her fingers again. If the other party was truly innocent, why didn't they dare to show their face?

In short, this is a very strange thing.

Ji Chiqian nodded: "Your analysis makes sense. There must be something wrong with the other party, which is why they dare not show themselves. They probably have some maternal love for Qin Xiang, but not much. Otherwise, they wouldn't have waited until after she died to show up."

“That’s right, but if they suddenly take the body away, they’ll definitely be able to find its whereabouts.”

Ji Chiqian looked at Lu Ning: "I will send people to investigate, and there will be news. As for you, be careful if you find anything unusual."

"The other party won't make a move. After hiding like a coward for so many years, they must be worried about their identity being exposed. But if they do make a move, it will be a good opportunity to find clues."

After what happened with the Mo family, Lu Ning became much calmer.

This matter cannot be rushed; the more anxious you are, the more likely you are to fall into a trap.

Anyway, Madam Mo has already been arrested, and all the murderers from back then have been caught. If there's one who slipped through the net, we can just look for him slowly.

Ji Chiqian smiled and said, "You've grown a lot."

"Having gone through so much, if I hadn't grown, I would have died long ago."

It's like in a past life.

Lu Ning looked at Ji Chiqian and said, "Let's go back."

Ji Chiqian nodded. Although she would occasionally say such discouraging things, she was already very brave to leave the Lu family.

Lu Ning and Ji Chiqian took a private jet and went straight back to their hometown in City A.

When she set foot in this place again, she remembered her past life, and this time she truly changed her destiny.

Lu Ning and Ji Chiqian even bought flowers for tomb sweeping and then drove to the cemetery.

When Lu Ning entered the cemetery, her feelings became exceptionally complicated.

In her past life, she never knew the truth about her parents' deaths until her death, and was completely manipulated by the murderer's daughter.

Lu Ning remained silent the entire way, as if she was deep in thought.

Ji Chiqian noticed her silence but didn't say anything, instead silently following her the whole way.

Lu Ning arrived at her parents' graves.

She put down the flowers in her hand: "Mom and Dad, I have finally found out the truth about what happened back then. You have seen it, haven't you? The murderer has also paid the price."

Her vision blurred, and she apologized in her heart: I'm sorry, I didn't know anything or do anything in my past life.

Ji Chiqian wiped away her tears: "Your uncle and aunt will be very happy when they find out."

He turned his head to look at the black and white photo on the tombstone: "I'm sorry about what happened back then."

I will take good care of Lu Ning in the future, please believe me, both of you.

He was the one who personally picked Lu Ning out of the car back then, and he will be responsible for her for the rest of her life.

Not far away, Lu Xicheng watched all of this.
