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

Lu Ning looked up and saw Lu Xicheng appear.

Lu Xicheng naturally saw Lu Ning and Ji Chiqian holding hands. A hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but he still walked over with a cold face.

Lu Ning said, "Now that everyone's at the hospital, what can we do?"

"You should have thought of this method as well. Madam Ji has been poisoned and needs an antidote, but only my people know the formula, and it's Xiaodao's patent."

Lu Ning likes to talk to smart people.

She looked at Lu Xicheng: "Yes, how much does the antidote cost?"

"I won't sell it for any price."

Lu Xicheng turned to look at Ji Chiqian: "So, Mr. Ji, do you have any ideas now?"

Ji Chiqian said coldly, "Then I will find a way to develop an antidote."

“But by the time you succeed in developing it, Madam Ji will already be dead.”

Lu Xicheng's eyes were filled with mockery: "Unless Lu Ning asks for it, I will sell you the antidote formula out of respect for her. This is something you owe Lu Ning, remember that."

Ji Chiqian pursed his thin lips coldly: "I know."

"It's good to know."

Lu Xicheng took out a document and handed it to Lu Ning: "This is the antidote formula."

Lu Ning took the recipe and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

She smiled and looked at Lu Xicheng: "How much?"

Lu Xicheng looked at the smile on her face: "It's been so long since I've seen you smile at me."

Lu Ning was stunned for a moment.

Lu Xicheng reached out and patted Lu Ning's head: "I'm leaving today. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can contact me."

Lu Ning felt a little uncomfortable with Lu Xicheng's touch.

Lu Xicheng immediately withdrew his hand: "All the hurt is in the past, it won't happen again. I promise."

"I don't need your promises. I can protect myself now."

Lu Ning looked at Lu Xicheng, straightened her back, and her eyes were incredibly resolute.

Looking at Lu Ning's expression, Lu Xicheng realized it was completely different from the timid younger sister who used to crave attention.

Lu Xicheng suddenly smiled: "Yes, many things can be changed. But we will definitely become your support in the future."

Lu Xicheng left after he finished speaking.

Lu Ning watched his retreating figure, then glanced down at the documents in her hand, her feelings becoming very complicated.

She thought today would be difficult, but it went so smoothly.

Lu Ning handed the document to Ji Chiqian: "Take it. I didn't expect him not to make any requests. It's really a bit unusual."

Ji Chiqian frowned: "He did it on purpose, trying to move you."

Lu Ning nodded: "I know, but we haven't had much contact over the years, and he hasn't done anything to hurt me."

Lu Xicheng has always been aloof and has never returned.

In her past life, it was after she was brought to the island that her kidneys were removed.

At that time, she was infamous, and her brothers hated her to the core. Lu Xicheng heard what his brothers said and began to dislike her.

That's why he personally removed her kidney.

But in this life, she changed many things from her previous life, so the incident of Kojima having his kidney removed didn't happen this time.

“Although he didn’t do anything to hurt you, he’s turned a deaf ear to everything all these years. Does that make him a good person? I don’t believe he knows nothing.”

Lu Ning smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't be swayed so easily. These little favors won't move me."

If this were in her previous life, she would probably have been moved and felt that her third brother treated her very well.

It's a pity that she's no longer the little sister who can be appeased with a lollipop.

Ji Chiqian looked at the document in his hand: "I will pay the island for the antidote formula at the market price. I don't have the habit of taking other people's things for free."

Although Lu Xicheng didn't ask for money just now, he can't really go to the point of not spending a single penny.

Lu Xicheng just put on airs, trying to elevate Lu Ning's status.

Lu Ning nodded: "That's right, we don't need to owe them anything. We should spend our money as needed, since you're not short of money anyway."

For him, things that can be solved with money are no problem at all.

Ji Chiqian looked down at her: "But Lu Xicheng is right about one thing. I did get the antidote formula because of you."

Otherwise, given the relationship between the Ji family and the Lu family, the Lu family would definitely not agree so easily.

“I said, if you want to give me face, you have to pay for it. Besides, they treated me so badly before, so it’s only right to make some small compensation. I don’t feel guilty or ashamed.”

She will never be easily coerced again in her life.

Ji Chiqian summoned the dean and handed him the antidote formula: "I've got the formula."

“Great, then we can make the arrangements. That way, we won’t have to worry about Madam Ji’s health anymore.”

Ji Chiqian looked at the dean and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you."

The dean hurriedly left with the formula.

Lu Ning stood face to face with Ji Chiqian. She looked up at the man in front of her and said, "I noticed you have some dark circles under your eyes. Have you not been getting enough rest lately?"

Ji Chiqian couldn't help but hug her and slowly said, "Yes, I missed you a lot."

After all they'd been through, it wasn't easy for them to be together, but things just kept getting complicated.

The two rarely saw each other when they were at Maple Leaf Company.

Lu Ning hugged Ji Chiqian and said, "I missed you too."

Ji Chiqian looked down at her and asked, "Why don't you move in with me?"

Is this an invitation for her to live together?

Lu Ning looked up at him, her expression a little unnatural: "Isn't this a bit too fast?"

"So what do you consider to be unpleasant?"

Ji Chiqian looked at her intently, his voice tinged with grievance: "I've waited so long, and it was so hard to finally get a permanent position."

Lu Ning: "..."

Just as she was about to say something, the door to the ward opened, and Madam Ji came out and saw the two of them embracing.

Lu Ning subconsciously separated from Ji Chiqian and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Auntie, is there something you need?"

Madam Ji realized she had come out at an inopportune time, and said somewhat awkwardly, "I was just worried, so I came out to check. You can continue, please continue."

How could Lu Ning possibly continue? She went straight to help Aunt Ji into the ward.

Lu Ning changed the subject, saying, "Don't worry, it's all resolved. The formula for the antidote has been given to the dean, and someone will learn it soon."

Madam Ji tentatively asked, "Did Lu Xicheng propose any conditions?"

We can't just agree to that so easily, can we?

Lu Ning replied, "He didn't mention any conditions; he just did me a favor by having Ji Chiqian pay for it."

Madam Ji held Lu Ning's hand: "Auntie owes you a favor. Our Ji family already owes you one, and now we can't repay it even more."

"No, Auntie."

"Then how about I give you Ah Qian and let him take care of you for the rest of your life? If he dares to treat you badly, I definitely won't let him get away with it."

Upon hearing these words, Lu Ning felt a little embarrassed.

Ji Chiqian stepped forward: "Mom, you don't need to tell me, I will treat her well."

"Seeing you all together puts my mind at ease. Find some time to tell your grandma; she's recuperating abroad and has been keeping it from us. She knows nothing about it yet."

Lu Ning thought of Ji Chiqian's grandmother, who had strongly opposed her being with Ji Chiqian.
