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

Lu Ning shoved Qin Xiang away: "Are you crazy?"

"I must be crazy. I've built this business over so many years and I've been kicked out. How can I possibly give up like this?"

Qin Xiang still couldn't believe she would fail like this.

Qin Xiang pulled Lu Ning to sit on the windowsill and said smugly, "The Lu family will be here soon. I'll say you pushed me down, and no one will believe you then."

Lu Ning gritted her teeth: "You've been playing these little tricks for so many years, don't you get tired of them?"

"Of course I don't find it cloying. As long as it works, that's fine."

At that moment, the bedroom door opened, and Qin Xiang fell backward, hanging outside the window.

Lu Bei and Lu Wu rushed in immediately.

Qin Xiang hurriedly said, "Help! Sister Ningning is trying to push me off the windowsill. I've already agreed to leave the Lu family, why won't you let me go and why are you trying to kill me?"

Lu Ning quickly shook her head and looked at Lu Bei, saying, "I didn't do that. She dragged me here to try and frame me."

Qin Xiang spoke up: "I didn't. How could I possibly seek my own death?"

Lu Wu immediately accused Lu Ning: "How could you do this? We've already driven her away, how could you still want to kill her? How could you be this kind of person?"

Lu Bei stopped Lu Wu: "You don't even know what happened, yet you immediately blame Lu Ning? It was the same thing with the swimming pool incident last time. It turned out we misunderstood her."

Lu Wu was furious: "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and pull Qin Xiang up!"

Lu Bei walked up to Lu Ning and said, "Don't overthink it. I know everyone who saw what just happened will have questions, but I believe you wouldn't do such a thing."

After Lu Bei said these words, a hint of doubt flashed in his own eyes.

Actually, when he first saw this scene, he also misunderstood Lu Ning, but after he suddenly thought of the swimming pool incident, he realized where the loophole was.

He did not witness the truth firsthand.

The truth was revealed by Qin Xiang.

This incident is so similar to the swimming pool incident that it makes them mistakenly believe that Lu Ning did something to harm Qin Xiang.

Lu Wu successfully pulled Qin Xiang up from outside the window. Qin Xiang sobbed and nestled in Lu Wu's arms, saying, "Even if Sister Ningning couldn't tolerate me, I promised to leave, but I really didn't expect her to do something to hurt me."

At this moment, Lu Xicheng walked over and slapped Qin Xiang across the face: "You dare to use the same trick a second time? Don't you want to die? Then go ahead and die."

Lu Xicheng pulled Qin Xiang to the windowsill, intending to throw her out.

Lu Wu said angrily, "Third Brother, are you crazy? Do you want to kill someone? She is the person I like, you can't do this."

Lu Xicheng cursed, "What love? Her father hurt our parents. She's the daughter of our murderer."

The air suddenly became quiet.

Lu Bei looked at Lu Xicheng and said, "We haven't investigated this thoroughly yet, so don't say anything that might alert them."

Lu Wu looked confused: "What? Her father killed our parents? But wasn't her father dead?"

Lu Xicheng said, "Our investigation has shown that her father is not dead at all."

Qin Xiang screamed, "This is impossible! How could my father be the murderer who hurt your parents? She's dead, and she even saved Lu Ning's life!"

Lu Xicheng looked over and said, "This is all fake. Someone else saved Lu Ning. It's not your father at all."

Lu Ning was also a little confused.

What does this mean? Is Qin Xiang's father the murderer who hurt their parents?

At this moment, Lu Dongyou and Lu Nanfeng walked in.

Lu Nanfeng: "Since the third brother has already brought it up, then we won't hide it from you anymore."

Qin Xiang said incredulously, "I don't know anything. And what if you made a mistake in your initial investigation? What if someone deliberately misled you?"

How could her father be a murderer?

In that case, wouldn't she be doomed?

Lu Dongyou said directly, "Take Qin Xiang to the basement. She can't come out without my permission."

Qin Xiang quickly explained, "I really don't know anything about this. Even if my father is the murderer, I wasn't involved. I'm innocent. How can the bond we've built over the years be faked?"

But Qin Xiang was still taken away.

Soon only the brothers remained in the bedroom.

Lu Ning asked in great surprise, "Is what you just said true? Did Lu Ning's father really kill our parents? And wasn't it Qin Xiang's father who saved me back then?"

Lu Xicheng nodded: "That's right, it was all arranged by them on purpose."

Lu Dongyou said, "We have already found out the whereabouts of her father. He is in Yunjing. I believe it won't be long before we can catch the murderer."

Lu Ning then realized: "So your attitudes changed so drastically because you found out about this, right?"

She said that it was impossible for her brothers to make so many phone calls just because of that video.

Lu Dongyou nodded: "That's right. It's because your third brother investigated the truth of this matter that we discovered we've been kept in the dark all these years."

Lu Ning forced a smile; she was feeling rather down.

Lu Xicheng looked at Lu Ning and said, "It's all over now. We know the enemy's methods and who the murderer is. As long as we, the Lu family, are together, we will definitely be able to avenge our parents. In the future, our family of siblings will never be separated again."

This is what he wants to do.

Lu Ning nodded: "That's right, we will definitely be able to catch the murderer."

Lu Xicheng looked at her and said, "Then you won't leave the Lu family, right? I know we did a lot of bad things in the past, but we were also deceived. From now on, we will definitely be able to get along well."

Lu Ning found these words strange, but she eventually nodded.

Lu Nanfeng said, "Little sister is already frightened. Let her rest by herself. Let's go out first."

Lu Ning didn't say anything; she watched her brothers leave the room.

She thought about what had just happened and felt that something was off.

In the past, the Lu brothers would not have believed what she said and would have sided with Qin Xiang.

But this time everything was reversed; they were actually on his side.

Although the change occurred after she learned that Qin Xiang's father was the murderer who harmed their parents, she still felt it was somewhat abrupt.

She lay on the bed, deep in thought, and closed her eyes.

Everything is moving in a positive direction now, isn't it? She had made countless wishes, hoping that Qin Xiang would leave her life and that her brothers would be able to see her existence.

But Lu Ning had a dream.

She dreamt that she had a falling out with her brothers, and in the end, she found out the truth about how she hurt her parents back then and sent the mastermind behind it all to prison.

Life in her dream was completely different from her present life. After she fell into the swimming pool, her life underwent a dramatic change.

At that time, Lu Xicheng did not come to save him.

Lu Ning opened her eyes and saw Lu Xicheng standing guard beside her.

Lu Xicheng's eyes held a hint of anticipation: "We have found Qin Xiang's father's whereabouts, and we will soon be able to bring our old enemies to justice."

Lu Ning's expression, however, was extremely indifferent.

Lu Xicheng looked at Lu Ning in surprise: "What's with that expression? Aren't you happy?"

Lu Ning sat up and looked around at everything: "So no matter how many times we start over, what you do won't change anything. What you always want is to control me."

Lu Xicheng's heart sank: "You remembered? Or have you also been reborn more than 10 years ago?"

Lu Ning turned to look at him: "Do you think rebirth is something so cheap and easy to happen? This is just a dream of yours."

"Impossible, this is definitely not a dream. You can be reborn, so why can't I be reborn more than 10 years in the past to change all of this? If you can do it, why can't I?"

“I’ve already said it, because this is just your dream, a ridiculous dream. My life is back on track, and I don’t need to go back to the past and change anything.”

After Lu Ning finished speaking, she jumped out of the window.

Lu Xicheng leaned against the window, watching Lu Ning fall, and hysterically roared, "Everything has been changed, why did it turn out like this?"

Suddenly, Lu Xicheng felt a chill run through his body.

He recalled that in the deafening sound of firecrackers in the cold winter, his body gradually stiffened, and his cries for help gradually faded away.

Was it all just a dream?

When Lu Xicheng looked up at the sky, he saw large snowflakes and heard the smell of firecrackers exploding.

The next day, dawn broke.

The Lu brothers emerged from under the bridge and saw Lu Xicheng lying on the spot, his hand outstretched towards the sky, as if trying to grab something.

Lu Dongyou touched Lu Xicheng's neck in a panic and found that Lu Xicheng was frozen stiff and had long since stopped breathing.

At this moment, the rest of Lu's brothers woke up.

When they saw Lu Xicheng dead here, their expressions were somewhat panicked.

Lu Nanfeng was the first to speak: "I had a very strange dream last night. I dreamt that we went back to the past and that Lu Xicheng changed everything."

Lu Bei spoke up: "I also dreamed about the past, but it was just a dream, right?"

Lu Dongyou covered his head in sadness, unable to utter a single word.

Lu Nanfeng said with a hint of sarcasm, "This is our retribution."

Nothing can change their fate.

In the end, Lu Xicheng's body was hastily sent to the crematorium. They didn't have time to buy a burial plot, so they could only take Lu Xicheng's ashes back to the bridge.

As for the dream they had on New Year's Eve, they all understood each other perfectly and never mentioned it again.

On the other side, Yunjing.

Lu Ning also had a strange dream, and she found everything in the dream ridiculous.

She didn't care at all about the ending in her dream.

She prefers the current ending.

Ji Chiqian walked over and hugged Lu Ning: "What are you thinking about?"

I had a strange dream.

Ji Chiqian said calmly, "Lu Xicheng died last night."

Lu Ning thought of her dream last night, and she was momentarily dazed before looking out at the heavy snow falling outside the window.

She exhaled a deep breath of white mist; a new year had begun.

As we bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new, everything from the past has come to a complete end.
