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

Lu Ning also investigated the stepmother, but didn't find any useful information.

But Mrs. Chen actually said that Chen Yu's identity as a stepmother was fake?

Lu Ning quickly pressed, "What do you mean by 'fake identity'?"

Mrs. Chen's face was filled with disdain: "Why should I tell you? Don't you think that woman is a good person? Then continue to believe her."

Lu Ning was immediately annoyed, not expecting that Mrs. Chen would remain silent.

Mrs. Chen continued, "With PZ Company joining the fray, your company won't be able to dominate anymore. Let's see how long you can keep up this smugness."

Mo Shiyi also had a smug expression: "PZ Company has plenty of money to invest, so it's not certain who will win or lose in the end."

Lu Ning looked at the two women in front of her and said, "People are more insecure about something, and that's when they start making loud, boastful statements like you two."

Mo Shiyi sneered: "Lu Ning, no one is lucky forever. I will see the day you fail."

Lu Ning recalled her tragic end in her previous life, and she said calmly, "You're right, no one is lucky all the time."

So this time it's your turn to be unlucky.

Mrs. Chen was still somewhat uncomfortable: "Lu Ning, don't be so smug. The identity of the person who saved you is completely mismatched with Ji Chiqian. The day he gets tired of you, your fate will be even worse than Miss Mo's."

Upon hearing this, Mo Shiyi's expression immediately turned sour.

Lu Ning looked at Mrs. Chen: "But at least for now, you're only jealous of me."

Mrs. Chen snorted coldly: "I'll wait and see the day you get dumped."

Mrs. Chen turned around and stormed off.

Mo Shiyi remained standing there, her eyes icy cold as she looked at Lu Ning: "Lu Ning, I won't let you get away with this. You stole everything from me, and I won't let you live a peaceful life."

Lu Ning laughed out loud: "If that's what you think, then I don't want to waste my breath. Bring it on, but if you hurt the people around me, I won't hold back."

Since Mo Shiyi still hasn't come to her senses, then there's nothing more she can say.

After Mo Shiyi left, Lu Ning turned back to continue eating fruit.

"I remember you used to like eating crystal grapes."

Lu Ning looked up and saw Lu Dongyou, and the crystal grapes he was holding.

She paused for a moment, then said, "You're mistaken. I don't eat crystal grapes anymore."

Lu Dongyou looked somewhat embarrassed as he put down the grapes. "Yes, I remember you liked to eat these when you were little. It's normal that your tastes have changed after all these years."

Lu Ning looked at him and said, "What exactly are you trying to say? Stop beating around the bush. There's no way I would leak any trade secrets to a competitor."

"In your eyes, this is probably the kind of person I am. The Lu family's cooperation with PZ Company has been going on for a long time, so it's impossible to stop now. But PZ Company can only expand into overseas markets; it can't compete with you."

Lu Ning was surprised to hear this.

She said, "I know all of this, you don't need to tell me. I have a lot of confidence in Maple Leaf Company and in myself."

Lu Dongyou looked somewhat embarrassed: "I know you won't believe me no matter what I do, but I have no intention of hurting you right now."

"Stop, I don't want to hear this."

Lu Ning put down the fruit in her hand: "Don't say such embarrassing things in the future. It's strange. These kinds of words shouldn't exist between us."

At this moment, Ji Chiqian walked over and stood next to Lu Ning, looking at Lu Dongyou with a wary expression.

Ji Chiqian pursed his thin lips coldly: "What are you trying to threaten her for now?"

Lu Dongyou: "I didn't mean to threaten her, I just wanted to ask her how she's been lately."

Lu Ning said, "I'm doing well, and I'll be even better than before. Let's go."

Lu Ning didn't want to think about the reasons for Lu Dongyou's change in attitude, because she didn't want to accept it.

Lu Dongyou watched Lu Ning's retreating figure, a self-deprecating expression on his face.

Lu Bei walked over and said, "Big brother, there's nothing shameful about showing weakness to your sister. I know you've always been strong-willed, and we've never looked down on you."

Lu Dongyou's expression was complicated: "I was wrong before."

Lu Bei: "Big brother, I know you have a strong sense of pride and ambition, which is why you were able to protect us back then. We all know why you became like this, but things are different now."

Lu Dongyou lowered his head: "I know, I'll think about it carefully."

-

Lu Ning and Ji Chiqian came to the side.

He took her hand and asked in a low voice, "What did Lu Dongyou say?"

"He didn't say anything harsh; on the contrary, he said a lot of sweet things, as if he was trying to please me."

Lu Ning looked up at Ji Chiqian and smiled: "But I won't waver now, because I have so much more now, and I don't care about the warmth they give me when they apologize."

Perhaps she once longed to see this scene, but she wouldn't now.

Ji Chiqian sighed: "I believe you."

Lu Ning changed the subject: "What did the general manager of PZ Company just say to you?"

Although Lu Ning had gone to eat, she had been keeping an eye on Ji Chiqian's situation.

Ji Chiqian said calmly, "They want to work with us to develop overseas markets."

"They really won't give up, their acting is so realistic."

Lu Ning lowered her voice: "Chen Yu told me that recently more and more wealthy women have been participating in PZ Company's high-return investments."

Now that PZ Company has held such a high-profile banquet and announced its blueprint for overseas markets, it must have attracted the interest of many wealthy people.

Ji Chiqian held her hand: "I know."

"So, did you agree?"

"I said I would consider it, but I would take the lion's share of the profits."

Lu Ning looked up and saw Mo Shiyi standing with the general manager of PZ Company. She whispered, "It seems they've set their sights on you. You're a big fat fish. Once they catch you, it'll be time to reel you in."

In the past life, when PZ Company closed down its operations, it was most likely because the Ji family was also deceived.

It has to be said that this company has quite an appetite.

Ji Chiqian took her hand and said, "Let's go then. These people have been watching you the whole time, including people from PZ Company. They've been trying to find out about you."

"Then go and have a look."

Lu Ning and Ji Chiqian walked over confidently together.

When the general manager of PZ Company saw Lu Ning, he gave her a warm smile: "Ms. Lu, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"It's nice to meet you."

Lu Ning smiled; this old fox didn't seem like a swindler at all.

“Ms. Lu, I heard that Shiyi and you had some past conflicts, but she is now a senior executive in our company and is in charge of this project. I hope you can turn hostility into friendship.”

Mo Shiyi took a glass of wine and handed it to Lu Ning.

Mo Shiyi said with malice, "Miss Lu, please have a drink."

Lu Ning took the glass of wine and splashed it directly onto Mo Shiyi's face.

Mo Shiyi's eyes widened: "You dare to splash me?"

Lu Ning slapped Mo Shiyi across the face: "I'll hit you back. Do you even think you're worthy to disgust me?"

Mo Shiyi was taken aback by this turn of events. She quickly looked at Ji Chiqian and asked, "Do you want to make enemies of PZ Company?"

Ji Chiqian said calmly, "Lu Ning is my girlfriend. Even if she causes a huge disaster, I will stand up for her."

The man's tone was exceptionally domineering and arrogant.
