Lu Ning had more doubts in her heart than before.

Could it be that Ji Chiqian had conflicts with his third brother in the past?

That's right. Ji Chiqian is Gu Zifeng's good brother. It's possible that Ji Chiqian was involved in driving the Lu family out of Yunjing.

So that's why Third Brother targeted Ji Chiqian?

But my third brother never told me any of these things.

She had never even mentioned this man to her, nor had she ever asked herself to stay away from Ji Chiqian.

What secret is Third Brother hiding from me?

Su Jingbai looked at Lu Ning: "What's wrong with you? You seem very interested in his illness."

"Haha, I was just asking. It sounds a bit like my illness."

Lu Ning's mood didn't improve much.

More and more secrets are emerging.

She looked at Su Jingbai and said, "Let's eat first. This restaurant really does have very good food."

Lu Ning sat down and saw the delicious food laid out in front of her, which made her feel much better.

Su Jingbai noticed the woman's eating posture and thought it looked somewhat familiar.

She looks a lot like Lu Ning.

Su Jingbai had many doubts in his mind. Could it be that this woman really deliberately imitated everything about Lu Ning? Including her little habits?

But who exactly knows Lu Ning so well?

Aside from Lu Ning herself, only those close to her truly understand everything about her.

Those around Lu Ning wouldn't do that.

Could it be that the Lu family deliberately arranged for someone to contact Ji Chiqian?

Su Jingbai only guessed at some possibilities, but he didn't dare to be completely certain.

But the woman Ji Chiqian was talking about was indeed not simple.

After Lu Ning finished eating, she heard everyone discussing the matter of arresting the old beast. Seeing everyone's relieved expressions, she felt uneasy after thinking about what the Andrei family had done.

Lu Ning felt that what her third brother did was wrong.

But my third brother said he needed the protection of the Andrei family, so those were things I had to do.

She had been somewhat hesitant.

But now she has discovered that her third brother's actions and words are somewhat contradictory.

So who was lying?

After finishing their meal, Lu Ning left the restaurant with everyone else.

Su Jingbai looked at her: "Are you just taking a taxi back?"

"I want to walk around here, take a stroll. It looks like there's a lively night market here."

After seeing off the victims' families, Su Jingbai followed Lu Ning.

At this moment, Lu Ning already had food in her hand.

Su Jingbai glanced at her: "You seem to really like these?"

“Yeah, I never had this much freedom before.”

Lu Ning ate as she walked, showing great interest in all of these things.

Su Jingbai stood silently by and watched. She asked, "Didn't you have any freedom before?"

If Lu Ning was taken away by the Lu family, she certainly wouldn't have much freedom in order to prevent them from finding her.

Is this woman Lu Ning?

After having a guess in his mind, Su Jingbai casually asked, "Miss Lu, where did you grow up?"

"What, are you curious about my background?"

Lu Ning looked at him and said, "Actually, there's no secret. I grew up here too, but I had to leave later because of some things."

Have you been here before?

Lu Ning shook her head: "I don't know, because I don't remember."

Su Jingbai's pupils contracted slightly: "You've lost your memory?"

"Yes, it's a little embarrassing to talk about. I was hurt by a man, and the pain was so intense that I chose to selectively forget it."

Lu Ning ate while talking.

Su Jingbai's heart raced: "Is that what your family told you?"

"Yes, but I've discovered that my family might be lying to me. That's making me a little upset."

After all, Lu Ning had trusted her brother so much before.

But now that she has discovered these might be lies, she feels a little upset and afraid to seek the truth.

Su Jingbai smiled and asked, "So what do you plan to do?"

"Of course, I want to find the truth. I can't live in a lie forever."

Lu Ning threw the finished skewers into the trash can.

Su Jingbai seemed to see the Lu Ning of the past. Yes, this was the real her.

Regardless of whether Lu Ning has lost her memory or not, she is still the same person.

No matter what Lu Xicheng said to brainwash Lu Ning, Lu Ning still made her own judgment in the end.

Su Jingbai thought for a moment and said, "Do you have any clues about your past now?"

"Not yet, but I'm looking for him. But I know who the scumbag who hurt me was back then, and I'll know what happened when I see him."

Su Jingbai looked at Lu Ning: "Who is that person? Gu Zhentian?"

"No, don't ask me that. I won't tell you now."

Su Jingbai nodded: "I will investigate for you. I am good at this kind of thing."

However, he felt that Lu Ning should already know who she was, otherwise she wouldn't have appeared by Ji Chiqian's side.

Su Jingbai smiled; things were finally getting back on track.

-

Lu Ning returned to the Ji family's old house, where the little pink dumpling was already asleep.

After glancing at the child, she prepared to sneak into the wine cellar to steal some wine.

"where have you been?"

Lu Ning was startled. She turned around and saw Ji Chiqian standing against the wall.

She asked, "We went out for a meal. What's up?"

"Weren't you worried about being photographed by the media? How come you still have the mind to go out for dinner?"

"Don't worry, I wasn't photographed."

"Is it?"

Ji Chiqian threw out a stack of photos: "If it weren't for me, your photos would have been released by now."

When Lu Ning saw the photo, she was somewhat surprised: "Didn't I already cover my face?"

"It was taken secretly by the victim's family."

Lu Ning was both amused and exasperated: "I really didn't expect this."

She looked up at Ji Chiqian: "Thanks, want a drink?"

Ji Chiqian didn't refuse and secretly went to the cellar with her.

Ji Chiqian took a bottle of red wine: "You can only drink this one bottle, no more."

"Okay, Xingyue's birthday party is this weekend, and she looks forward to it every day."

Ji Chiqian smiled and said, "Yes."

"Oh right, I haven't said thank you yet. This toast is for you!"

Lu Ning raised the glass in her hand, and Ji Chiqian looked at her: "You used to have a lot of opinions about me."

"Then you have quite a few complaints about me too."

Lu Ning raised her glass: "Actually, there's something I've wanted to say for a long time: you actually fit the standard of a child quite well. I was just saying it on purpose before."

Ji Chiqian paused, a hint of smugness in his cold, handsome eyes, and downed the red wine.

He said in a good mood, "Of course."

Lu Ning sipped her red wine and said, "If I had known I would meet so many interesting people when I came back, I would have come back much sooner."

“It’s not too late now. Bring your son back later. With me here, no one can hurt you.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Ning stepped forward and grabbed Ji Chiqian's collar, saying, "You can drink whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."

By the way, this man looks a bit like his son.
