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

Lu Ning twitched the corner of her mouth and turned to leave.

But Lu Liu pulled her back and whispered, "Even if you get drunk, I will take you home. You don't need to worry about that."

Lu Ning wanted to leave, but a pain shot through her wrist.

She lowered her eyelids: "So you want me to drink it?"

You forced me to do this.

Lu Liu let go of her hand and breathed a sigh of relief: "Lu Ning, that's right. You should apologize to them properly and explain things clearly, and then we'll let this matter go."

Lu Ning walked to the table and glanced at the beer on the table.

The middle-aged man next to Lu Ning sized her up and asked, "Mr. Lu's sister is quite pretty. Does she have a boyfriend at school?"

"Girls these days mature early, they must have boyfriends by now."

Lu Liu felt uncomfortable hearing these words, after all, Lu Ning was his own sister.

However, since he was there to ask for a favor and apologize, Lu Liu couldn't stop the other party from making a few jokes, so he had to let it go.

Anyway, he will protect Lu Ning later and won't let her suffer.

Lu Ning picked up her wine glass and splashed it at the two men who had just been talking: "Your mouth stinks, go wash it."

"Lu Ning, what are you doing?"

Lu Liu's expression changed drastically in an instant. He stepped forward and grabbed Lu Ning, saying, "Are you crazy? I'm telling you to go apologize!"

"Yes, that's my way of 'apologizing'."

Lu Ning's lips curled into a cold smile: "Are you satisfied now?"

Forcing her to do things she doesn't want to do, and never understanding what she's saying.

So she used this method to make Lu Liu understand.

Lu Liu's eyes were bloodshot with anger. He raised his hand and slapped Lu Ning: "You really went too far this time. Apologize to them right now, do you hear me?"

Lu Ning felt a pain in her cheek. Expressionless, she picked up a wine bottle from the table and smashed it hard against Lu Liu.

Lu Liu's head was smashed open by a wine bottle, and blood immediately flowed out.

He suppressed his dizziness and said, "Lu Ning, how dare you..."

Lu Ning pushed him away: "There's nothing I wouldn't dare to do."

After she finished doing all this, she gave the investors a cold look.

The men quickly moved away from Lu Ning, fearing that she would smash their things.

Lu Ning said coldly, "I left the Lu Tian team a long time ago. He's the one using my name to solicit investment. You'd better not be fooled. I will never play for the Lu family."

After speaking, Lu Ning walked out of the private room.

"Lu Ning, you stop right there!"

Lu Liu chased after him in a fit of rage, the blood on his forehead looking rather frightening.

Lu Ning took a few steps and saw Ji Chiqian walking over.

The man's eyes held a hint of worry: "Why did you come up to the second floor without telling me?"

In the blink of an eye, Lu Ning disappeared.

Ji Chiqian was almost driven mad with anxiety.

Lu Ning's expression wasn't good: "I didn't want to be dragged here either."

When Ji Chiqian saw Lu Liu chasing after them, he instinctively shielded Lu Ning behind him, his tone cold and stern: "Don't go near her."

"Get out of my way! Lu Ning is my sister, you have no right to interfere!"

Ji Chiqian reached out and pushed Lu Liu away. Lu Liu, who was already injured, almost lost his balance and fell.

Lu Liu could only angrily retort, "Lu Ning, are you determined to ruin me before you're satisfied? What have I ever done to wrong you!"

Lu Ning coldly replied, "It's your own fault for not understanding human language, don't blame me."

Does Sixth Brother really think she wouldn't dare to do anything, and that she's still the same pushover she used to be?

But today, she deliberately didn't let Sixth Brother have his way.

Lu Liu leaned against the wall: "Lu Ning, all I asked you to do was go drink and apologize to the investors, right? You caused this whole thing, so you should be the one to clean up the mess."

But you've ruined all of this. Aren't you afraid I'll never talk to you again?"

"I can't believe such a good thing happened. I hope you keep your word."

Lu Ning turned and left. Ji Chiqian glanced at Lu Liu and said, "Forcing your little sister, who is so young, to drink and apologize to those middle-aged men, have you lost your conscience?"

Lu Liu's expression was somewhat unnatural: "I will protect her."

This whole mess was caused by Lu Ning; he didn't do anything wrong.

Ji Chiqian suppressed his anger: "There won't be a next time."

He turned around and caught up with Lu Ning, and the two walked down the stairs together.

Ji Chiqian was both angry and worried: "Are you alright?"

Lu Ning shook her head: "I just splashed beer all over them and cracked Lu Liu's head open."

"Yeah, good job."

The two walked side by side when a drunk man rushed up from the side. Ji Chiqian pulled Lu Ning over to protect her.

Lu Ning looked up at the man in front of her and asked, "Why have you always been so good to me?"

When Ji Chiqian saw the look in Lu Ning's eyes, his heart softened unbelievably. However, he could only say against his will, "Lu Ning, I helped you just because it was a favor. I couldn't stand your brother being so biased."

Lu Ning's gaze turned somewhat disheveled.

His words were very calm, even gentle, but he rejected her very bluntly.

Lu Ning lowered her head in a panic and said, "I need to go to the restroom first."

Lu Ning turned and walked downstairs toward the restroom.

Ji Chiqian followed closely behind her, his eyes dimming instantly, as if he had been hiding many years of vicissitudes.

Ji Chiqian only stopped walking after Lu Ning went to the restroom. He stood there, annoyed, and borrowed a cigarette from someone.

His slender fingers held a cigarette, and white smoke billowed from his thin lips, obscuring his suppressed gaze.

Gu Zifeng walked over with two glasses of wine and handed one to her, saying, "The Lu family are really despicable. They actually made her go and drink with them to apologize!"

Ji Chiqian finished his glass of red wine in one gulp, his eyes dark and brooding.

"Let me remind you, keep a little distance from Little Lemon, don't be too nice to her."

"Then aren't you just as good to her?"

Ji Chiqian had a cigarette dangling from his lips, his brows furrowed.

Gu Zifeng raised an eyebrow: "This is different. Who the hell could tolerate Little Lemon being treated like this by the Lu family?"

Ji Chiqian lowered his eyelids: "So, some things are beyond our control."

"That's true."

Gu Zifeng gave him a meaningful look. When had he ever seen this guy smoking in such a irritable state before?

The last time was when their company was about to go public, and they were betrayed by an insider, putting their IPO in jeopardy.

Over the years, I've grown accustomed to seeing this gentleman's calm and strategic demeanor.

It's rare to see him in such a dilemma.

Gu Zifeng had a premonition that the girl named Lu Ning must have become different for Ji Chiqian.

At this moment, Lu Ning was sitting on the toilet in the bathroom, rubbing her face.

She was so brave just now, but now she's so cowardly.

Lu Ning stayed in the bathroom for a long time, wishing she could dig a hole and crawl into it.

When there was a knock on the door, Lu Ning left the cubicle and gave up her seat.

As she walked to the sink and dejectedly washed her hands, a slightly surprised voice came from beside her: "Lu Ning, where did you go just now?"

Lu Ning looked up and saw Qin Xiang, but she looked away and continued washing her hands, ignoring Qin Xiang.

However, Qin Xiang carefully examined Lu Ning: "You come to a bar and hug and kiss other men. If Second Brother finds out, he will be angry."

Lu Ning rolled her eyes and walked straight outside.

Qin Xiang chased after her: "Sister Ningning, why are you leaving? I was worried about you. Sixth Brother is here too. Because we lost the competition, the investors are going to stop cooperating with us."

Lu Ning smiled enigmatically: "You can only blame yourselves for being too incompetent."

Qin Xiang immediately put on a wronged expression. Seeing this, Gu Yan said, "Lu Ning, you'd better be nicer. If you keep bullying my girlfriend like this, believe me, I'll teach you a lesson."

Gu Yan was originally interested in Lu Ning, but he didn't expect this woman to embarrass him in public.

Later, Gu Yan discovered that Qin Xiang was pure and sensible, so he shifted his focus, thinking that one day he would show Lu Ning how well Qin Xiang was doing, and make Lu Ning regret rejecting him.

I never expected that an opportunity would come knocking on my door today.

Lu Ning's eyes were filled with sarcasm: "If playing the victim is considered bullying, then prisons probably wouldn't be able to hold all these people."

"How dare you talk like that! It's only because you were sulking and refused to participate that Xiangxiang stepped in for you!"

Lu Ning sneered: "Qin Xiang plays so badly, yet she still has the nerve to stand in for someone else. She's really shameless."

Qin Xiang was so angry at being mocked that she gritted her teeth.

Because of losing this competition, Sixth Brother's attitude towards her has become much colder, and it's all Lu Ning's fault.

Lu Liu appeared at this moment, his face extremely gloomy, with a towel covering his face.

He looked at Lu Ning: "At least Xiangxiang worked hard for the Lu family. What about you? What have you done for the Lu family?"
