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

Upon hearing this, Lu Ning looked at him with some surprise: "So quick? Wasn't that lawyer supposed to be very stubborn?"

The Lu family tried every means to interrogate them, but they couldn't get any useful information out of them.

That's why we entrusted the person to her.

I didn't expect Ji Chiqian's people to be so efficient.

Ji Chiqian held her hand and said slowly, "That lawyer is stubborn, but that doesn't mean his family or his former colleagues are just as stubborn."

"Smart! What did you find out?"

Lu Ning was a little curious.

"Didn't you previously speculate that this lawyer handled the domestic violence case between Qin Xiang's mother and Qin Laoda? Maybe Qin Xiang's mother even wanted a divorce back then. We can find out by checking where that lawyer used to work."

Lu Ning nodded: "Why didn't I think of that before?"

"Qin Xiang's mother did want a divorce and consulted about divorce and domestic violence. But the case was not taken. According to a colleague at the time, the lawyer had a good impression of Qin Xiang's mother and offered free consultations and help. He even sent a lawyer's letter to Qin Xiang's mother to warn her."

Upon hearing this news, Lu Ning was quite surprised: "There's at least a ten-year age gap between these two, isn't there? Is Qin Xiang's mother that charming?"

She thought of Qin Xiang's innocent and naive behavior. Could it be that Qin Xiang's mother was an even more extreme example of an innocent and naive person?

"I was also a little curious about this, so I had someone find a photo of Qin Xiang's mother. The photo on her ID card was of a young girl who hadn't grown up yet and looked ordinary, but I had someone find their marriage registration photo later."

Ji Chiqian took out his phone, and Lu Ning saw the photo.

Qin Xiang's mother is very gentle and graceful, with an oval face and almond-shaped eyes, and she looks very elegant.

You can't judge a book by its cover. This woman, who looks so kind, was involved in the murder of her parents and even hid behind the scenes doing all this.

When Lu Ning saw the photo, she frowned and said, "I thought she would look like Qin Xiang, but she doesn't look like her at all. Only the eyes are somewhat similar."

Chen Yu's stepmother doesn't look like Qin Xiang yet.

Lu Ning asked, "Can you be 100% certain that this photo is of Qin Xiang's mother?"

"It's confirmed. We've already asked the neighbors in the neighborhood where they used to live, and it is indeed her."

Looking at the photo, Lu Ning realized that Chen Yu's stepmother really had nothing to do with Qin Xiang.

I used to have doubts about my stepmother Chen Yu because of her appearance.

Now that Qin Xiang's biological mother has appeared, she has completely given up on this idea.

Lu Ning looked at Ji Chiqian: "Can we find someone at PZ Company using this photo?"

"If we search for them in a big way, people will definitely notice. For now, we can only search secretly."

"No wonder Qin Xiang's mother didn't dare to show her face; she was afraid of being recognized."

Lu Ning uploaded the photo to her phone, intending to save it carefully, as she might need it in the future.

The two got into the car together and headed to the banquet venue.

Lu Ning continued, "Didn't that lawyer say anything?"

"Well, he didn't say. But I guess he doesn't know any more than we do right now. He plans to release the man tomorrow and have the lawyer's wife pick him up. Maybe she'll discover the secret the lawyer didn't tell us."

"You bribed his wife?"

Ji Chiqian said calmly, "Yes, since this lawyer liked Qin Xiang's mother back then, then as his wife, she must know the inside story from back then."

Lu Ning immediately laughed: "That's right, sometimes the woman next to you in bed can definitely discover his secrets."

Lu Ning's mood improved somewhat, since the investigation was going smoothly.

The next second, Ji Chiqian hugged her and said calmly, "Hold me for a while."

Lu Ning didn't move, but soon noticed that Ji Chiqian had fallen asleep.

You can tell he's really tired.

Before long, the vehicle arrived at the banquet venue. Lu Ning didn't wake Ji Chiqian, wanting him to sleep a little longer.

But the constant honking of horns and voices in the parking lot woke Ji Chiqian up.

He glanced outside: "How long have we been here? Why didn't you wake me up?"

"I wanted you to sleep a little longer. It doesn't matter if we go to the banquet a little later. You're more important."

Lu Ning genuinely thought so.

Ji Chiqian chuckled and lowered his head to kiss her, but Lu Ning dodged away.

The man frowned: "You won't let me kiss you?"

Lu Ning looked at him and said, "My makeup will smudge, and I didn't bring any lipstick."

Ji Chiqian squeezed her hand: "Then we'll make it up to you double tonight."

Lu Ning turned her head to look out the car window: "Let's go then."

The two walked hand in hand into the banquet hall, immediately attracting a lot of attention.

After all, the recent situation between the young master of Beijing's elite circle and his rumored girlfriend Lu Ning has been trending on social media.

Although the discussions about Lu Ning are mostly negative, many girls envy her for being able to get that arrogant man to do such a thing.

Lu Ning felt the gazes around her, most of which were filled with curiosity, while some were filled with mockery and disdain.

That's normal, after all, the Mo family had looked at her like that before.

After Ji Chiqian appeared, many bosses naturally came over to greet him.

Ji Chiqian held Lu Ning's hand and said, "This is my girlfriend, Lu Ning. I hope everyone will take good care of her in the future."

"This must be Miss Lu, the top scorer in the college entrance examination. She's truly outstanding."

"Miss Lu, I heard that you became the chief engineer of Maple Leaf Technology at such a young age. That's amazing! You've surpassed many technicians who are older than you. You're truly a force to be reckoned with."

Hearing the praise, Lu Ning replied humbly, "I was indeed quite interested in computers before, so I taught myself some things. Those seniors are more experienced than me, so I need to learn more from them."

Lu Ning adopted a very humble attitude. At times like these, it's important to keep a low profile, otherwise, you'll be drowned in gossip.

Lu Ning's humble demeanor truly surprised everyone present.

Everyone thought she was going to become the girlfriend of a wealthy young master in Beijing's elite circles, and she was being treated so well that it even led to the Mo family going bankrupt and Mrs. Mo going to jail.

Given this kind of treatment in their relationship, Lu Ning should be very proud and smug.

The result was quite the opposite; Lu Ning kept a low profile.

Some people had originally planned to make sarcastic remarks and cause trouble, but Lu Ning kept smiling. As the saying goes, you can't hit a smiling person, so it wasn't easy to make things difficult for her.

After all, Lu Ning always had a young master from the Beijing elite circle as her bodyguard.

Just then, a young couple walked over.

Lu Ning looked up and saw Mo Shiyi, who was wearing a white evening dress that accentuated her beautiful figure.

Mo Shiyi's style of dress has become more charming and feminine, whereas she used to follow a pure and innocent image.

Lu Ning knew she would see Mo Shiyi at today's banquet, since PZ Company had orchestrated the event, and since Mo Shiyi was working at PZ Company, she was bound to make an appearance.

The man next to Mo Shiyi spoke up: "Miss Lu, what makes you think you're qualified to be the chief engineer of Maple Leaf Company?"
