After Miss Lu became the only one to enjoy the limelight, her six brothers knelt down and begged for
Chapter 67 Is a belated attempt at redress still useful?
Lu Ning took a taxi back to her apartment. She sat on the sofa and noticed bloodstains on her sleeve.
This must have happened accidentally when I was helping my second brother into the car during the day.
She changed her clothes and came out to find that Ji Chiqian had replied to her message: 【Mm.】
It's just a single word.
This man has always been a man of few words, sparing with his speech!
But when he's being sarcastic and critical of others, he can be quite talkative.
That evening, during Lu Ning's live stream, her second brother kept sending her gifts.
Lu Ning kept ignoring it, but the fans in the live chat couldn't hold back anymore.
[This ID must belong to Miss Lemon's second brother, he's so generous!]
[Isn't it rumored that the Lemon streamer has a bad relationship with her family? If these donations accumulate, it must be over a million.]
[She's a young lady of high birth, after all. Even if she throws a tantrum at home, it won't change her status. I envy her for having so many brothers who dote on her!]
Seeing these comments made Lu Ning feel rather uneasy.
She sent a private message to her second brother: "Please stop sending gifts."
Lu Nanfeng replied, "Just accept it. You need money to live alone out there."
But she didn't need the money the Lu family offered.
Lu Ning was a little annoyed. After the broadcast ended, she contacted the staff in the backstage and returned all the money that her second brother had spent on gifts.
She doesn't care about that little bit of money!
Upon seeing the refund message, Lu Nanfeng sighed deeply: "Does Ningning hate me that much now?"
The butler spoke up: "Second Young Master, the Eldest Miss is deliberately ignoring you out of spite. Her ultimate goal is to drive Miss Xiangxiang away. Only then will she be willing to come back."
“Ningning isn’t that kind of person. It’s because I ignored her thoughts before that everything has happened.”
"Second Young Master, Miss Xiangxiang is completely innocent. If it weren't for that incident back then, she wouldn't have become an orphan and experienced those terrible things. She is the most innocent person."
Lu Nanfeng was caught in a dilemma.
Indeed, Qin Xiang did nothing wrong.
But now Lu Ning has become like this because of Qin Xiang, and he really doesn't know what to do.
At this moment, the company secretary walked into the room: "Mr. Lu, the firewall issue has not been resolved. Miss used to be in charge of this part, so she must have a way to solve it."
Lu Nanfeng gave a wry smile: "But she won't talk to me at all now."
"How about I go and talk to the young lady?"
Lu Nanfeng nodded, though deep down he still held onto hope for Lu Ning.
The secretary immediately called Lu Ning: "Hello, Miss, I'm Mr. Lu's secretary. We've met before."
"What's the matter?"
Lu Ning knew who the other person was; her secretary from her previous life was one of the few people who spoke up for her.
"Miss, it's like this. The software you helped develop at that branch office is currently experiencing firewall issues, and we haven't been able to resolve them yet. The partner said they'd cancel the partnership if they can't fix it, so could you please come to the company?"
Lu Ning remembered that this had indeed happened in her past life.
In her past life, after learning about this, she rushed to solve the problem, only to have Qin Xiang steal the credit.
But the secretary spoke up for him, and was eventually scolded by his second brother.
Lu Ning hesitated for a moment and said, "I am not an employee of Lu's Company, this is not my responsibility."
“But you’ve been involved before, Miss.”
“The past is the past. Back then, I still considered myself a member of the Lu family. But now, things are different.”
Lu Ning's words clearly reached Lu Nanfeng's ears.
Lu Nanfeng closed his eyes with difficulty, his thin lips trembling, but he didn't know how to answer.
The secretary immediately said, "How about this, Miss, you can treat this as a part-time job. I will pay you according to the market rate. What do you think?"
Lu Ning didn't actually want this money.
But if the project is canceled, the secretary will also be affected.
Lu Ning finally agreed: "Okay, I'll go to the company tomorrow."
Consider it repaying this favor.
The next day, Lu Ning went to Lu's Company early in the morning.
Looking at the tall buildings in front of her, she felt as if she were still in a past life.
She went straight to the CEO's office area on the top floor.
Secretary Li was already waiting for her there: "Miss, come with me."
Lu Ning walked into the office and saw Lu Nanfeng there. He was discharged from the hospital so quickly?
Lu Nanfeng stood up with a fawning expression: "Ningning, you're here so early. Have you had breakfast? I bought a lot of your favorite foods."
Lu Ning noticed that there were quite a few breakfast items on the coffee table.
Lu Nanfeng took a red bean bun and said to her carefully, "Ningning, I remember you like red bean buns the most."
Lu Ning said with a sneer, "The person who likes red bean buns is Qin Xiang, not me."
At that moment, Lu Nanfeng's hands were trembling.
He hurriedly threw away the red bean bun, saying, "Look at my brain, I got it wrong. You... you like xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) instead."
Lu Ning said calmly, "My favorite food is pancakes."
It's neither a red bean bun nor a xiaolongbao.
Lu Nanfeng almost lost his balance at that moment. He felt guilty even when he was breathing, and the pressure made it hard for him to catch his breath.
He gave a look that was worse than crying: "Ningning, I'm such a bad second brother, can you give me another chance?"
Lu Ning picked up the documents from the table, her expression calm: "Why bother? Isn't it better to just leave it as it is?"
Everyone lived in peace and did not interfere with each other.
Lu Nanfeng's eyes reddened: "Ningning, but I want to make it up to you."
"no need."
Lu Ning took the documents and left the office.
Secretary Zhang looked at Lu Nanfeng with exasperation: "Boss, how could you make such a mistake with such a good opportunity?"
Lu Nanfeng had a wry smile on his face: "I clearly remember that she liked to eat this. That's what the housekeeper told her."
Thinking of this, Lu Nanfeng's expression turned sour: "Could it be that the butler deliberately told me the wrong thing?"
"Boss, it's because you didn't remember the young lady's preferences, which shows that you don't care about her at all."
Lu Nanfeng sat on the sofa, feeling utterly exhausted. His stomach ached terribly. "What can I do to make amends? Do you have a solution?"
He genuinely wanted to repair his relationship with Lu Ning!
Secretary Zhang thought for a moment and said, "I'll talk to the branch manager later and tell them that Miss is going to work, and ask them to be respectful to her. Let's start with small things."
"You're right. I can let Ningning manage the branch office. That way, she'll be able to see my sincerity in trying to make amends, right?"
Lu Nanfeng remembered that Lu Ning had mentioned before that she also wanted to run a company.
-
Lu Ning left the top floor without looking back and went straight to the branch office.
She knew where the firewall problem lay and that the code needed to be rewritten on the spot before testing.
Lu Ning glanced at her phone and received a message: "[Ningning, I'm sorry, it was my fault. I misremembered your preferences. It won't happen again.]"
It's obvious that it was sent by my second brother.
But she really doesn't care anymore.
Why doesn't Second Brother understand?
Lu Ning walked into the branch office and went to the front desk, saying, "Hello, I'm an engineer here to fix the software."
"Lu Ning, what are you doing here?"
Qin Xiang walked in dressed in designer clothes, her eyes filled with wariness when she saw Lu Ning.
Lu Ning's expression remained unchanged: "It has nothing to do with you."
At this moment, the manager hurriedly came out. Hearing that the young lady was coming to inspect the work, he knew he had to receive her properly.
The manager glanced at Lu Ning and Qin Xiang, and immediately felt a little worried.
Which one is actually the eldest daughter of the Lu family?
The receptionist glanced at Lu Ning and said, "This is an engineer who's here to apply for a job."
The manager walked up to Qin Xiang with enthusiasm. This girl, dressed in designer brands, must be the eldest daughter of the Lu family.
