Lu Ning nodded: "Of course it's true."

Madam Ji had heard Lu Ning mention it before, but thought it was just a casual remark.

Lu Ning continued, "That special medicine can also be administered to Grandma Ji after the hospital has conducted tests."

"I don't mean to doubt you, it's just that the old lady is getting on in years."

"I know, but this is just a token of my appreciation."

Lu Ning also wanted to do her part.

When she returned to her room, she saw Ji Chiqian sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a fairy tale book in his hand.

Upon witnessing this scene, Lu Ning felt a tightness in her chest.

Is this the life her daughter wanted?

After seeing that the little boy had fallen asleep, Ji Chiqian pulled the blanket up a bit before carefully putting down the storybook.

He stood up and saw the woman standing in the doorway.

Ji Chiqian slowly walked over, glanced down at her, and walked out without saying anything.

Lu Ning closed the door and caught up with Ji Chiqian: "Wait a minute."

But the man didn't actually stop; instead, he walked straight into the bedroom.

Lu Ning was a little angry: "Mr. Ji, I have something to say to you."

She looked at the man's tall back, stepped forward and grabbed his hand: "Ji Chiqian!"

The next second, the man pulled her in front of him: "We can talk about it tomorrow. It's so late. If someone sees us, they'll gossip."

"What gossip could possibly spread if we talk outside?"

Lu Ning looked up at him: "I just want to tell you that in the future, when you tell stories to my daughter, don't change them into dark stories, so as not to hurt my daughter's young heart."

"That's it?"

"Otherwise what? Mr. Ji and I have nothing else to say to each other."

Lu Ning took a step back and pushed Ji Chiqian away.

The man's hand was suddenly empty. He said coldly, "But I think that overly naive fairy tales have no educational value for children. They will easily be fooled by little blondies in the future."

"Mr. Ji, you don't need to worry about that. She's still young now. I'll tell her when she grows up."

This man is really nosy.

Ji Chiqian was somewhat uncomfortable: "Education must start from a young age; this world is cruel."

"Precisely because this world is cruel, there's no need to make them see the harsh truth so early. Isn't it better for them to live a little more innocently before they grow up?"

Lu Ning completely disagreed with his idea.

Ji Chiqian said with a stern face: "Since that's what you think, why did you let Xiao Xingyue live such a life when she was little?"

Lu Ning took a deep breath and sneered, "This is none of your business."

Lu Ning turned and left.

She returned to her room, her mind still replaying the man's words.

If she had a choice, she would never let her child live such a life.

Therefore, she will definitely take revenge for everything that scumbag has done to her.

Lu Ning looked back outside and asked Ji Chiqian, "If you knew the truth, would you regret taking us in today?"

If you choose us, you can't choose your good brother.

The next day, Lu Ning got up very early.

She has very important things to do.

The adorable little girl changed into a pale yellow princess dress and happily sat at the dining table eating.

Ji Chiqian looked at Lu Ning expressionlessly. This woman is really good at acting.

She acted like a loving mother in front of her children.

Lu Ning watched the little girl leave with Madam Ji, then turned to Ji Chiqian and sat directly in his car.

Ji Chiqian's brows twitched slightly upon seeing this scene.

He stood by the car door, looking at the woman inside: "What little trick are you trying to pull now?"

Lu Ning looked at him: "Let's talk in the car."

Ji Chiqian frowned. Wasn't this woman a little too lawless?

He said coldly, "Get down. I didn't agree to talk to you."

Lu Ning remained unmoved: "Mr. Ji, you're more pretentious than a woman."

"I'm saying this one last time, get off. I have work to do, and I don't have time to argue with you here."

Ji Chiqian pulled Lu Ning out of the car.

Lu Ning almost lost her balance: "Hey, Ji Chiqian, you'll regret this."

The man simply closed the car door and coldly said, "Drive."

Ji Chiqian glanced at the furious woman in the rearview mirror and slightly curled his thin lips.

This woman has always been so confident and domineering, she's just annoying to look at, and finally we got what we deserved.

Lu Ning watched the luxury car drive away, furious.

You just wait, man.

Lu Ning immediately made a phone call: "Come pick me up."

Not long after, a luxury car pulled up in front of Lu Ning.

Lu Ning got into the car angrily: "That man actually abandoned me in the car. I will definitely settle this score."

"Ahem, Miss, shall we still go to the Gu Group today?"

"If you're not going, then let him wait."

Lu Ning checked the time. She had originally planned to talk to the Gu family about cooperation today, but she didn't expect this man to abandon her halfway.

The office of the Gu Group.

Ji Chiqian glanced at the time, somewhat annoyed: "Why aren't they here yet?"

"That shouldn't be the case. They're always punctual. Maybe something's wrong. I'll call and ask."

Ji Chiqian said with a stern face, "Since you're not punctual, then we'll get a different designer."

The secretary was a little embarrassed: "But the boss went to great lengths to recruit this designer. Without her, the new clothing brand can't be launched."

Ji Chiqian was a little angry and called Gu Zifeng directly.

This time the call connected very quickly.

Gu Zifeng's voice also carried a hint of irritation: "What?"

"I'm just telling you, replace that designer you poached with someone else."

"That won't work."

"why not?"

“I spent a lot of effort recruiting that designer, and I made a name for myself. If she doesn’t come, all my investment will be wasted.”

Ji Chiqian was a little angry: "But that designer is not punctual, which will definitely cause trouble when we cooperate in the future."

"I don't care, I want her."

Gu Zifeng hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

Ji Chiqian was furious. What a mess this was!

He looked at his secretary and said, "Is that designer really that good? Let me see her information."

The secretary quickly handed over the documents.

When Ji Chiqian saw the design drawings, he said critically, "It's not bad, but that's about it."

He flipped directly to the very end and saw the document.

His gaze fell on the photo, and his expression changed slightly: "It's her!"

That woman is actually a designer!

No wonder she wanted to ride in the same car with me this morning.

Ji Chiqian threw the documents on the table: "Contact her immediately."

"But Designer Lu didn't answer the phone or reply to any messages."

Ji Chiqian kept a straight face; he knew that the woman was doing it on purpose.

He said, "Tell her that if she doesn't come, the cooperation will be canceled. She will have to bear the losses caused by the delay."

The secretary immediately made a phone call.

At this moment, Lu Ning was getting a beauty treatment at a beauty salon.

She glanced at the person beside her and said, "Tell him that I don't have a car and can't come right now. After all, I'm not familiar with this place, so ask the Gu family to send a car to pick me up."

Lu Ning's lips curled slightly; she wanted Ji Chiqian to come and pick her up personally.
