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

When Lu Ning heard Lu Xicheng's words, she was somewhat surprised: "Are you really not human ashes?"

Lu Wu angrily asked, "Does that mean that bitch Qin Xiang is still alive?"

Lu Bei continued, "That's not necessarily true. It's possible that the ashes sent here aren't Qin Xiang's at all. That person isn't that stupid; knowing we're going to destroy the ashes, they still sent the body to us."

Lu Ning naturally thought the same thing as Lu Bei.

The other party is indeed not that stupid. If they were, they wouldn't have been able to hide for so many years without any problems.

She looked at the ashes scattered on the ground and clicked her tongue: "So we fell for a trap? We've become a laughingstock?"

Lu Xicheng stood up: "It doesn't matter, it just means she knows these little tricks too."

Lu Bei sneered: "Yeah, he's just a coward."

Lu Ning nodded: "Isn't that right? The more insecure and powerless a person is, the more they will try to test others by pretending to be mysterious."

She looked up at the monitor again, her eyes icy cold.

On the other side of the surveillance, someone was naturally watching all of this.

A woman sat on the sofa, then tossed the tablet aside and took a sip of her coffee.

The man standing beside her was somewhat angry: "Madam, are you just going to tolerate their provocation? They actually dared to do this to Miss's ashes!"

"It's not real, why are you so angry?"

"I just can't swallow this insult. If they weren't backed by the Ji family, you could kill them with a flick of your finger."

The woman put down her coffee cup: "You don't understand. Sometimes, a woman's ability to conquer a man is a skill in itself. It's just that it's not so easy to make a move now, otherwise it would get in my way."

"So, we're just going to let it go for nothing?"

"Of course not. That girl is in high spirits right now. There's no need to hurt her at a time like this. There are many ways to make someone sad. Having a weakness makes things much easier."

The woman's lips curled into a cold smile: "Just do as I told you before."

funeral parlor.

After the lawyer was taken away, the atmosphere here changed drastically.

The Lu brothers all looked at Lu Ning.

Lu Wu's expression was the most complicated. He looked at Lu Ning and said, "What happened before was my fault."

"Stop. I didn't come here today to listen to your nonsense."

Lu Ning had no intention of accepting Lu Wu's apology.

After all, she would never forget how Lu Wu protected Qin Xiang before. Now that she knows the child in Qin Xiang's belly isn't his, she knows she regrets it.

But what does this have to do with her?

Lu Wu's expression froze, then turned ashen. He knew Lu Ning wouldn't forgive him, but he hadn't expected her to refuse to even listen to him finish speaking.

Lu Ning looked at Lu Nanfeng: "I'm taking this lawyer with me."

"No."

Lu Dongyou refused directly: "Lu Ning, we caught this person. We'll find out about the woman behind it all. We'll tell you then."

Lu Ning looked over and said, "Are you sure you can get any information if you come here to ask? It's obvious that the woman behind the scenes doesn't take the Lu family seriously at all. What she's always been wary of is Ji Chiqian."

Lu Ning wasn't stupid; she could naturally figure out why the other party hadn't dared to show themselves.

Ji Chiqian's status and position make it easy for anyone to cause trouble.

Qin Xiang's mother may have cleared her name over the years and may be doing well, but no matter how well she does, she can't compare to the power and status of the Ji family.

Lu Dongyou immediately felt somewhat frustrated: "You didn't even let me try, yet you knew we wouldn't be able to get anything out of you?"

Before Lu Ning could say anything more, Ji Chiqian took her hand and whispered, "Since they're so confident, let them give it a try."

Lu Ning felt the warmth emanating from Ji Chiqian's palm, and she gradually calmed down.

She looked up at them and said, "Alright, I'll give you a week. If you can't get anything out of them, then hand them over to me."

Lu Xicheng looked at the two holding hands and his expression changed drastically: "Ji Chiqian, let go! Who told you to touch her like that?"

Now everyone noticed this.

Lu Ning answered frankly, "He didn't lay a hand on me."

Lu Xicheng pursed his lips: "But didn't you two break up?"

Lu Ning: "Who said you can't get back together after breaking up?"

Lu Nanfeng asked in surprise, "Have you two gotten back together?"

But Lu Ning didn't need to answer; just looking at the two holding hands, Lu Nanfeng sighed silently. His younger sister had still been snatched away by someone else.

Lu Ning shook their clasped hands: "Isn't it obvious?"

Lu Nanfeng smiled somewhat helplessly: "We know, we saw it. But are you really sure? After all, you're still so young, there's no need to make a decision so quickly."

Lu Bei was also somewhat unwilling: "Yes, there are many outstanding men in this world. You can get to know more of them. Maybe you'll find someone even better?"

Lu Ning hadn't expected them to say that.

Upon hearing these words, Ji Chiqian's face immediately darkened. Did these people think they had the right to control everything about Xiao Lu Ning?

Lu Ning stood in front of Ji Chiqian, looked at them and said, "Ji Chiqian is very good. There is no better person in the world than him."

She doesn't need to interact with other men; Ji Chiqian is enough.

Whether in her past life or this life, she has only ever loved Ji Chiqian.

Lu Xicheng frowned: "But you are still so young and inexperienced. You have no idea what love or dependence is."

He thought Lu Ning liked Ji Chiqian because Ji Chiqian had always helped her, which led to her becoming dependent on him.

This is not love at all.

Lu Ning said calmly, "I think I've experienced enough compared to girls my age. I can also distinguish between feelings of affection and gratitude."

She and Ji Chiqian had broken up and gotten back together so many times. Even though she had doubts before, she was now firmly convinced that she liked Ji Chiqian.

Seeing how protective Lu Ning was of him, Ji Chiqian's lips curled slightly, but he didn't say anything more.

Since she's so protective of him, he doesn't need to do anything.

After Lu Ning finished speaking, she continued, "It's my own business, you don't need to interfere. Remember I'll come back in a week to ask about the results."

She looked up at Ji Chiqian and said, "Let's go."

The two left the funeral home.

Lu Xicheng watched the two figures from behind, his expression somewhat inscrutable.

Lu Bei said somewhat discontentedly, "Shouldn't we think of a way to stop this?"

Lu Dongyou immediately spoke up: "How can you stop this? At least Ji Chiqian is outstanding in terms of both status and personal ability. Can you find a man with better conditions than him?"

Lu Bei: "You can't say that. Good conditions don't necessarily mean a good person."

Lu Xicheng's eyes were icy cold: "What is Ji Chiqian? The Lu family will surpass the Ji family in the future."
