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

Lu Nanfeng's expression turned sour upon hearing Lu Ning's words.

After all, this is not something to be proud of.

Lu Wu didn't go out today and stayed at home the whole time because she felt ashamed about what happened.

But Lu Dongyou didn't care about all that: "The child is indeed Gu Yan's, and now the Gu family can't shirk their responsibility. The child has already been taken away by the Gu family, and we finally don't have to bear the medical expenses for that bastard anymore."

Lu Bei: "If you ask me, the Gu family should be responsible for the medical expenses."

Lu Ning sneered: "Didn't you all treat her like a treasure before?"

The room fell silent after those words were spoken.

Lu Nanfeng changed the subject: "Ningning, I asked the kitchen to prepare your favorite dishes."

Lu Ning sat on the sofa: "Let's get down to business first. What exactly did you get out of that lawyer?"

She didn't come back to reminisce with the Lu family; she came back to gather information.

Lu Nanfeng hesitated for a moment before replying, "I didn't get any useful clues. I guess this person probably doesn't know anything either. He's just someone who was entrusted to do this job."

“If this person really couldn’t find anything, then he shouldn’t have had that expression on his face when he was at the funeral home. He must have known something but didn’t tell you.”

Lu Ning looked at Lu Nanfeng, as if she had expected this all along.

She said, "It's been so long, and we haven't gotten anything out of him. If he really knew anything, it would have been secretly erased by the people behind the scenes in the past week."

Lu Nanfeng was a little stumped.

Lu Dongyou sneered, "Lu Ning, is this how you talk to your brother at home? We've put in the effort too. Do you think you could have gotten anything out of him?"

Lu Ning said coldly, "Then stop talking nonsense and hand over the person."

Lu Nanfeng was a little anxious: "Ningning, the lawyer's family has already reported him missing to the police. If we don't release him now, and you take him away again, something bad will happen."

Lu Bei nodded: "Yes, little sister, we really tried all sorts of methods, but we couldn't get anything out of them. Since this lawyer was sent out, the person behind the scenes must have thought that he would be arrested and interrogated, so they didn't tell him any useful information."

Lu Ning was a little impatient: "I don't want to hear your explanations. Just hand the person over to me. Whether I can find out the truth later is my business."

Lu Dongyou was a little angry: "Lu Ning, don't be so rude. Your second and fourth brothers are only saying this because they're worried about you."

Lu Ning's expression was indifferent: "Then I've already said it, your concerns are not a problem."

Lu Dongyou: "Isn't it just because you have Ji Chiqian backing you up that you're not afraid of anything? I think all those comments attacking you online recently are true."

Lu Ning's expression instantly turned cold.

Lu Xicheng smashed the cup in his hand on the ground, his face turning ashen: "Big brother, isn't it inappropriate for you to talk about your little sister like that?"

The hall became very quiet.

Lu Dongyou looked at Lu Xicheng, his tone softening considerably: "I'm teaching her!"

Lu Bei: "Even if you want to teach her, you shouldn't say such hurtful things. Netizens are spreading rumors without understanding the situation, why are you acting like an outsider?"

Lu Dongyou was somewhat unhappy, but he also realized that what he had just said was inappropriate, so he felt guilty and remained silent.

Lu Nanfeng looked at Lu Ning and said, "Little sister, what I said was indeed inappropriate. Please don't take it to heart."

Lu Ning said calmly, "Just leave the person to me."

Lu Nanfeng nodded: "Okay, but he's in City A, not here. After all, the Lu family's headquarters are there."

"Give me the address, and I'll take care of the rest."

Lu Ning didn't want to waste time talking to them.

She put down the fruit plate and stood up: "Since there's nothing else, I'll be going now. I have some things to take care of."

These are all just excuses; she simply doesn't want to stay here.

Lu Nanfeng said anxiously, "Now that you're back, why don't you have dinner together before you leave?"

Lu Ning: "I told you I have something to do, you guys eat."

As she was about to leave, Lu Xicheng spoke up: "Little sister, I'm leaving in a few days."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ning asked with some concern, "How is Aunt Ji's health now?"

If Lu Xicheng leaves now, Aunt Ji's treatment will be interrupted. Will this have any impact on Aunt Ji?

Lu Xicheng replied calmly, "As I said before, Madam Ji's treatment is a long-term process and cannot be cured in a short time."

"After you leave, will the hospital be able to take over and continue treating Aunt Ji?"

This is what Lu Ning cares about.

Lu Xicheng looked at her indifferently: "You've been so concerned about an outsider, but not about me?"

Lu Ning looked somewhat awkward under Lu Xicheng's gaze: "You just need to go back to work, you're not sick."

Lu Dongyou said sarcastically, "But your third brother has many research projects on the island. Staying here for even a day will delay the experimental progress by a day. Do you know how expensive the research funding is on the island every day?"

Lu Ning hadn't thought of that much.

Although many things have changed in this life, Lu Xicheng has not done anything as outrageous to her as he did in his previous life.

But the shadow of her past life remained in her heart.

Lu Ning looked at Lu Xicheng: "Could Aunt Ji's treatment be handed over to the hospital staff?"

Looking at the worry in Lu Ning's eyes, Lu Xicheng knew that it was for Madam Ji, not for him.

The reason Lu Ning can still be so kind to him now is because he is in charge of Madam Ji's medical treatment.

Lu Xicheng hesitated for a moment: "The antidote used for treatment needs to be prepared on-site. This formula is patented and kept secret."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ning said, "Then why don't you have your people stay?"

“They are all outstanding research talents on the island, and they would not want to stay outside to provide treatment indefinitely.”

The implication was that they refused.

And this reason was perfectly legitimate, leaving Lu Ning with no excuse whatsoever.

The atmosphere suddenly became hesitant.

Lu Ning didn't want anything to happen to Aunt Ji and wanted her to continue receiving treatment.

Lu Xicheng continued, "Little sister, don't take the Ji family's affairs too seriously. After all, you're not married to Ji Chiqian yet. Have you forgotten how the Ji family tried to stop you from being together?"

Lu Bei nodded: "Yes, I was so anxious that Madam Ji disagreed, and Old Madam Ji also opposed you two being together. The wealthy are complicated, little sister, don't be fooled by Ji Chiqian's sweet talk."

Lu Ning looked at them and said, "The Ji family didn't agree before because they knew who I was and were worried that the car accident would affect our relationship."

Lu Bei continued, "You don't understand. People from wealthy families value matching social status the most. Those words are just excuses they make up. If you actually believe them, you've already lost."

Lu Nanfeng: "That's right. The Ji family is treating you quite well now because Madam Ji's illness still depends on your third brother. That's why they don't dare to give you a hard time this time."

Lu Xicheng looked up at Lu Ning: "You are my sister, I will not hurt you."

A hint of mockery flashed in Lu Ning's eyes.

Won't it harm her? But it would make her wish she were dead.

This was the case in my previous life.
