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

Lu Liu retorted, "Even if Lu Ning didn't do well on the exam, she doesn't need to repeat a year. Her grades are better than all of us older brothers. Apart from our third brother, that medical fanatic, she's considered to have good grades."

Such a dramatic improvement in grades in just a few months is something most people simply cannot achieve.

After being refuted, Qin Xiang looked at Lu Liu in astonishment, not expecting him to speak up for Lu Ning as well.

Lu Nanfeng had already changed, and now even Lu Liu is showing signs of change.

A huge sense of panic immediately gripped Qin Xiang's heart.

She cannot lose her brothers' favoritism.

Qin Xiang said somewhat uneasily, "I know that Sister Ningning's grades have improved a lot, but perhaps a sudden improvement in grades is not stable, which is why she underperformed."

Lu Nanfeng was in a state of confusion: "Is your school going to hold a lecture on how to apply for university tomorrow, and students who are repeating a year can also consult about repeating a year, right?"

Qin Xiang nodded: "That's right."

"Let's go to the school tomorrow and check on the situation."

"Second brother, do you also think I should repeat a year of high school?"

Qin Xiang actually didn't want to repeat a year of high school; it was pointless, and she'd rather make money through live streaming.

She could even enter the entertainment industry through her fourth brother's film and television company in the future!

Lu Nanfeng said calmly, "Xiangxiang, even if you perform normally, you won't get into a top-tier university. There's no need to repeat a year. Choose a major you like and go to university."

Lu Nanfeng made up his mind.

He would persuade Lu Ning to repeat a year of high school.

He will definitely not make any mistakes this time. Without Qin Xiang around, he will not let Lu Ning suffer any more grievances.

Lu Nanfeng left after he finished speaking.

Qin Xiang watched Lu Nanfeng's retreating figure, biting her lip with some resentment. What exactly did her second brother mean by those words?

Does that mean he's inferior to Lu Ning?

Even if she repeats a year, it won't be as meaningful as Lu Ning repeating a year.

Lu Liu probably felt a little embarrassed too, so he scratched his head and said to Qin Xiang, "Xiangxiang, don't take your second brother's words to heart. He has always spoiled Lu Ning. It will be fine after a while."

"Sixth Brother, how could I take those words to heart? After all, Second Brother has been very good to me too. I am already very content with what I have today."

After Qin Xiang finished speaking, pretending to be sensible, she looked at the housekeeper and asked, "Is the medicinal porridge I made for my second brother ready? Although it's not as good as Sister Ningning's, I still want to relieve my second brother's stomach pain."

"It should be done in a little while."

Seeing how sensible Qin Xiang was, Lu Liu said with some relief, "It doesn't matter if you did poorly on the test. Sixth Brother will take you to a bar to relax."

"Okay, then I'll go upstairs to change my clothes first. Butler, could you please bring the porridge to my second brother later?"

Qin Xiang was a little excited, and she turned around and went upstairs.

But just as she finished changing her dress, the phone rang.

She glanced at it; it was an unfamiliar number. This number had called a few days ago, but she hadn't answered.

Qin Xiang thought it must have been a mistake, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

But then the phone rang again.

She answered the call in a good mood, her voice beaming: "Hello, who is this?"

"Ah Xiang, it's me."

Qin Xiang's mind went blank the moment she heard the familiar voice on the other end of the phone.

Her hands trembled as she whispered, "Who are you?"

Why does the voice over there sound exactly like her deceased father's?

But didn't her father die many years ago when he was working as a driver for the Lu family, in a car accident while trying to save the Lu couple, and he died along with them in the explosion?

"Ah Xiang, this matter is complicated, and I can't explain it to you in a short time. But please transfer some money to me now, I need it urgently."

"These days, scammers are getting more and more sophisticated. They're even impersonating my deceased father to swindle money from me? Do I look that easy to fool?"

Qin Xiang hung up the phone after she finished speaking.

But she couldn't calm down for a long time; on the contrary, it seemed as if a raging storm was brewing in her heart.

Because her father would indeed call her A-Xiang.

She hadn't heard that title in years.

Qin Xiang had always had a question in her heart, because her father was an abusive man who liked to gamble and would often come home and beat her and her mother after losing money.

Later, her mother couldn't bear it anymore and ran away. Because she was a girl, she also had a very difficult time.

One day, her father sacrificed his life while doing a good deed, and she was taken to live with the Lu family.

She always felt that something was actually wrong with this.

Because her father is not a good person, he would never do something like saving someone!

But Qin Xiang dared not speak out, fearing that if the Lu family found out something, she would lose her current life as a pampered young lady.

Qin Xiang deliberately forgot about these strange occurrences and readily accepted all the kindness shown to her by the Lu family.

But now she received a call from someone claiming to be her father, and she began to panic again. What if her father was really alive?

What exactly happened in that car accident back then?

Qin Xiang dared not think any further!

Knock, knock, knock—there was a knock on the door.

"Xiangxiang, does it take you this long to change your clothes?"

Lu Liu's voice came from outside, and Qin Xiang immediately snapped out of her daze: "Okay."

She immediately blocked the phone number and deleted all call logs, acting as if nothing had happened.

That phone call must have been a scam; it couldn't be real. Her father is long dead.

After readjusting her emotions, Qin Xiang walked straight out of the room: "Let's go, Sixth Brother."

Lu Liu said impatiently, "Girls are such a hassle when they go out."

-

Outside the bar.

Lu Ning got out of the car and followed Ji Chiqian and Gu Zifeng. When she saw the sign of the bar, she felt it was very familiar.

Isn't this the bar where she was humiliated by Qin Xiang in her past life?

What a coincidence.

Ji Chiqian noticed that Lu Ning's expression was a little off: "What's wrong? If you don't like this bar, we can go to another one."

"No need, this bar is quite famous, it's very popular lately."

Gu Zifeng turned around: "That's right, this bar is quite lively."

Ji Chiqian gave Lu Ning a deep look: "Are you really alright?"

"With you all here, what could possibly happen to me?"

Lu Ning concealed the disgust she had just shown. After all, this wasn't her past life, and she wouldn't let Qin Xiang bully her without daring to fight back.

As Ji Chiqian watched Lu Ning's retreating figure, he sometimes felt that Lu Ning would show an expression different from her age, which gave him a rather incongruous feeling.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion!

The three of them walked into the bar together.

Lu Ning put on a fox mask; the bar's theme today was a masquerade ball.

It really is the same as in my past life.

She remembered that in her past life, Qin Xiang and Gu Yan, the school heartthrob from next door, were flirting in a bar. To get revenge for Qin Xiang, Gu Yan pretended to confess his feelings to her in the bar.

She had no romantic relationships in her past life, and when she faced a boy's confession for the first time, she was met with the most malicious ridicule.

At the most crucial moment, Sixth Brother was present but defended Qin Xiang, saying it was just a joke.

She was made a fool of and ridiculed; it was all insignificant.

She desperately wanted to know what would happen in her life.

As soon as Lu Ning stepped into the hall, rhythmic music began to play.

As she walked in, she saw the stage lights shining on her, and Gu Yan, holding flowers, walked up to a girl wearing a rabbit mask.

Lu Ning recognized Qin Xiang at a glance as the person wearing the rabbit-shaped mask.
