Lu Ning was carried out of the area of ​​debris.

She was placed on the sofa.

Ji Chiqian looked down at her: "Next time I tell you not to move, then don't move. If you're not thinking straight, then don't run around!"

Lu Ning was scolded.

She lowered her head: "I didn't expect to run into a vase!"

Lu Ning's face flushed considerably. Luckily, there was no electricity, or it would have been awkward.

Ji Chiqian took out his phone and made a call, his tone icy: "Go check why the power is out."

Lu Ning looked around at the darkness, and finally looked at Ji Chiqian, because he was the only one holding a phone, and there was still a little light.

She asked, "Where's Gu Zifeng? Didn't he come back with you?"

"He went to a bar and won't be back tonight."

"Then why don't you go?"

Lu Ning knew that adults, especially the rich kids, liked to go to bars; it was normal for them to go to bars to relax.

In the past, the Lu family's older brothers would also go, mostly for social occasions.

Ji Chiqian said calmly, "Too noisy."

Lu Ning wasn't surprised at all when she heard the answer.

Ji Chiqian does indeed usually prefer quiet.

Lu Ning asked curiously, "I'm a little curious, how did someone as quiet as you become such good friends with Gu Zifeng? He talks so much, he's very outgoing!"

Ji Chiqian is the exact opposite.

Logically speaking, two people who are so different shouldn't be able to become good friends.

Ji Chiqian thought for a moment and replied, "My grandma says I don't talk much, so I should find someone who talks a lot to be my friend, so I don't become mute."

Lu Ning thought Ji Chiqian's grandmother was quite interesting.

She couldn't help but ask curiously, "So you and Gu Zifeng have known each other since you were little?"

Ji Chiqian realized he had let something slip and paused, asking, "What's wrong?"

"I really envy you for having such good friends."

Her tone carried a hint of melancholy.

It was dark all around, and Ji Chiqian couldn't see her expression. He asked, "Didn't you have any friends when you were little?"

“I used to have them, but after my parents died in a car accident, I was sick for a while and forgot everything that happened. I was in a bad mood during that time, so my old friends became distant.”

Not long after, Qin Xiang was brought to their home.

As you know, because of Qin Xiang, I was always isolated at school and never had any friends.

When Ji Chiqian heard her mention the car accident, his thin lips tightened.

His Adam's apple bobbed slightly: "After all these years, haven't you remembered anything about the car accident?"

"No, I don't want to recall such painful things."

Lu Ning sighed, "If it weren't for that car accident, my parents wouldn't have passed away, Qin Xiang wouldn't have appeared in my life, and my relationship with my brothers might not have come to this."

Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

Ji Chiqian looked in Lu Ning's direction, his eyes filled with an unyielding expression.

"Did you ever hate the person who caused this car accident?"

His voice trembled slightly, carrying an indescribable emotion.

In the pitch-black surroundings, they could not see each other's expressions.

"hatred!"

Lu Ning's voice was firm and cold.

Ji Chiqian swallowed his anger with difficulty and asked, "Have you thought about... about finding the other person?"

"That person ran away and found a scapegoat to take the blame. The Lu family has been searching for many years, but has not found any clues."

Lu Ning also wants to find the murderer who killed her parents.

His voice came through: "If you find him..."

"I will make that murderer pay the price!"

Lu Ning's eyes were filled with determination; she was determined to find the culprit behind the car accident in her lifetime.

Ji Chiqian sat on the sofa, not moving for a long time.

He felt that even breathing was difficult.

After a moment of silence, Lu Ning couldn't help but ask, "When will the electricity come back on?"

Ji Chiqian glanced at his phone, then stood up: "The power line is being repaired, so it probably won't be back on for a while. You should go back and rest. I'll take you."

Lu Ning groped her way off the sofa, and a pair of slender, beautiful hands reached out to her.

She took a look.

His deep voice came from above her head: "You'd better hold on to this cane!"

Lu Ning coughed and said, "No need."

Her foot landed and kicked the corner of the table, making her wince in pain.

"Sit down, let me take a look."

Ji Chiqian squatted down in front of her helplessly, pointing his phone's flashlight at her feet.

Lu Ning stared blankly at the man in front of her; his profile was bathed in a warm glow in the dim light.

He originally had exceptionally handsome features.

He looks even more handsome from this angle.

Lu Ning couldn't help but ask, "Master, are you always this nice to girls?"

Ji Chiqian raised his eyes, his gaze completely black.

He stood up: "Distribute the tasks among the people."

"Do you have a girlfriend? I saw you having dinner with a beautiful woman at a restaurant the other time."

Ji Chiqian paused, looking at her: "A friend."

Lu Ning lowered her eyelids. Just friends?

Ji Chiqian grabbed her wrist: "You're not very bright, but you talk a lot."

Lu Ning followed beside him, feeling the warmth of his palm on her wrist, which made her face flush.

After Ji Chiqian escorted her back to her bedroom, he stood at the door and didn't go in.

The next day, when Lu Ning woke up, the phone had already come back on.

When she clicked into the game forum, she found a post about herself.

Who is the man behind the streamer "Lemon Sweetie"?

After seeing the headline of this report, Lu Ning was also a little curious about who the man behind her was!

After she clicked on it, she saw screenshots of the carnival she had browsed last night.

Lu Nanfeng, the president of Lu's Company, spent over 100,000 yuan last night on dozens of carnival and luxury carriage gifts during a live stream, demonstrating a close relationship between the two. However, the falling out with his benefactor is evidenced by public accusations from streamer Qin Xiang.

That's why she started live streaming on Douxia, and she didn't even dare to show her face, for fear that her sugar daddy would discover her identity.

Lu Ning was immediately at a loss for words, wondering what all this was all about.

But many people actually started discussing that she had a powerful backer behind her, which is why she dared to ignore Lu Liu's invitation.

Even haters started spreading rumors that she was a woman kept by a sugar daddy.

After seeing this, class monitor Jiang Lu angrily posted anonymously: "Your thoughts are truly filthy. The relationship between Lemon streamer and the Lu family isn't like that. I'm her classmate; I recognize her voice."

Soon someone commented: "[Finally, someone said it! Is Lemon the eldest daughter of the Lu family?]"

The post immediately went viral.

Haters immediately retorted: "If the livestream really was the eldest daughter of the Lu family, why would she be streaming on Douxia? She would definitely be on Qingguo. She doesn't even bother to think before she lies!"

[The eldest daughter of the Lu family unleashed a god-like twelve-hit combo. With such exceptional talent, how could the Lu family possibly abandon her to go solo?]

[The Lemon streamer is trying to piggyback on the fame of the Lu family's eldest daughter, but she doesn't even consider the realities of the situation. Does anyone think they can impersonate the 12-hit combo?]

After the haters started stirring up trouble, most people still leaned towards the conclusion that Lu Ning couldn't possibly be "sweet as a lemon".

Just then, Lu Ning's phone rang. She answered it casually, and her second brother's voice came from the other end.

"Ningning, I heard from Xiangxiang that you went shopping for clothes yesterday. I've unfrozen your credit card, so you can spend the money on it anytime."

I even restored your credit limit, so now it's the same as Xiangxiang's allowance.

Lu Ning's eyes held a hint of mockery.

She was clearly the eldest daughter of the Lu family, but every time she had a conflict with the scheming woman, her second brother would reduce her allowance as compensation to Qin Xiang.

Lu Ning coldly refused: "I said I wouldn't spend a single penny of the Lu family's money."

“Ningning, I know you’re not happy about the allowance. After all, Xiangxiang’s father has been kind to our Lu family. I have to treat everyone fairly to avoid outsiders gossiping about the Lu family.”

"Your so-called impartiality means making me suffer losses and sacrificing my interests to maintain fairness, is that it?"

"Ningning, how can you think like that? As the eldest daughter of the Lu family, you should give in to Xiangxiang. That would show your magnanimity."

Lu Ning's eyes turned cold. To hell with being magnanimous!
