Sober and beautiful, my husband and son begged for my forgiveness on their knees.

"Lu Jingmo, aren't you supposed to be a gentleman of Whale City? How come you're acting like a rogue now? Or are you just a hypocrite who's fooled everyone?"

Seeing that the car had already started moving, Ning Yao gave up struggling and began to make sarcastic remarks.

Lu Jingmo is not an easily angered person, but when he is with Ning Yao, he always loses control of his emotions.

He disliked this feeling of being out of control.

"Ning Yao, my patience is limited, don't push your luck."

Ning Yao immediately turned her gaze away from the window and looked at the man opposite her through the misty darkness.

"Am I pushing my luck? Mr. Lu, who manages the Lu Group with tens of thousands of employees, can't you see who's really behind the misunderstanding between Miss Chen and me?"

Lu Jingmo could certainly see that he had previously thought Ning Yao's design skills were insufficient to handle Chen Yalin's large order.

But from her subsequent aggressive behavior towards Ning Yan, he knew the problem must lie with Ning Yan.

"You're not innocent either. If you hadn't made things difficult for Yanyan, she wouldn't have resorted to such petty tricks. Ultimately, it's because you're ruthless in your dealings with people that people can no longer tolerate you."

Ning Yao was trying her best to distract herself and not let herself be affected by his words.

But after hearing his words, she still felt heartbroken.

"Lu Jingmo, although I used to think you were a bit of a jerk, I never imagined you could be this much of a jerk! It's your business to protect Ning Yan, but I'm not your property, and you have no right to judge me!"

"If you dare to make any more pronouncements about me, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Lu Jingmo's expression was as if it were shrouded in dark clouds, so gloomy it was terrifying.

How dare she talk to me like that!

Yang Qian, in the driver's seat, noticed that the atmosphere inside the car was becoming increasingly tense, and his hands gripping the steering wheel were covered in a thin layer of sweat.

Miss Ning Yao is pulling the tiger's tail!

"Yang Qian, stop the car."

Yang Qian immediately did as instructed.

Ning Yao was still wondering what trick Lu Jingmo was up to this time when she heard him coldly shout, "Get out of the car!"

It's already midnight, and the road is under repair again. There are signs of digging and piles of building materials everywhere, making it look very dangerous.

"Mr. Lu."

Yang Qian wanted to plead for Ning Yao, but after meeting Lu Jingmo's indifferent gaze, he dared not speak.

"If you're willing to relent and not pursue Ning Yan..."

"Stop your fake kindness, I don't need it."

Ning Yao opened the car door and got out.

Lu Jingmo's face, hidden by the darkness, instantly turned ashen.

A suffocating and dangerous atmosphere instantly filled the car.

"drive."

Yang Qian dared not disobey and had no choice but to start the car.

After Ning Yao got out of the car, a chilly night wind blew through her body, making her feel cold all over.

She quickly took out her phone to call a taxi, but because the location was remote, she didn't see a car even after hailing it for ten minutes.

The broken road surface was riddled with deep pits, like the gaping maw of some unknown beast, which terrified her.

Just then, a beam of car headlights shone from a distance and approached her.

Ning Yao unconsciously bit her lip, looked around, but couldn't find anything handy, so she could only grip her phone tightly.

As the car began to slow down and gradually came to a stop in front of her, her breathing became labored.

But all around her was a terrifyingly empty wasteland, and she had no way to escape.

At this time-

With a "click," the vehicle unlocked.

A figure stepped out of the car.

Just as she was throwing her phone at the other person, he spoke up.

"President Ning, why are you here alone?"

This sound...

Ning Yao stared at him for several seconds before recognizing that the person getting off the bus was Zhong Yunche.

"Mr. Zhong, it's you."

Zhong Yunche noticed that her hand holding the phone suddenly loosened, and couldn't help but laugh, "Luckily I spoke first, otherwise you would have ambushed me."

Ning Yao smiled sheepishly before getting into the car at his invitation.

They had barely left when Lu Jingmo's car returned.

Lu Jingmo happened to see Ning Yao smiling as she got into a strange man's car, and his eyes instantly lost all emotion.

Yang Qian realized that he was in a very bad mood, so he dared not say anything more.

A few minutes later, Lu Jingmo gave the order, his face expressionless: "Find out who that man is."

……

Ning family.

Ning Jianguo and Li Lifen were resting in the living room.

Seeing Ning Yan return, Li Lifen immediately said, "Yan Yan, Mom just finished cutting up your favorite pears, come and eat."

Ning Yan walked over furtively.

Ning Jianguo noticed her swollen eyes immediately, his expression turning angry, and asked right away, "Yanyan, who bullied you? Why are your eyes all swollen from crying?"

Li Lifen quickly looked at Ning Yan and saw that her eyes were obviously red and swollen. She was also anxious. "Yan Yan, what happened?"

After Ning Yan explained things to Chen Yalin and came out, she found that Lu Jingmo's car was gone. After asking the staff, she learned that Lu Jingmo had taken Ning Yao away.

She hated Ning Yao to death.

So, feeling wronged, she told them what had happened in the private room.

To avoid her parents blaming her, she said that she only wanted to help Ning Yao find clients and didn't know that it was a draft, which caused the misunderstanding.

The news about 'Shattered Star' caused quite a stir, and both Ning Jianguo and Li Lifen heard about it.

But none of them expected that this matter would be related to Ning Yan.

Ning Jianguo was silent for a moment, then asked, "What is Jingmo's attitude?"

Ning Yan wiped away her tears and said weakly, "He's very angry because when Yao Yao was mocking me, she mocked him too. He hasn't spoken to me since, so he's probably angry."

Ning Jianguo slammed his fist on the armrest in anger. "That bastard! It's bad enough that she's angering us, but she even dares to mock Jingmo! Yanyan, you take us to find her tomorrow. I want to see just how big her wings really are now!"

Li Lifen felt sorry for Ning Yan, but was also angry at Ning Yao's heartlessness. "Yes, this child is too unruly. She took 50 million from our divorce from Jing Mo without telling us, and instead went off to start her own business! If we don't teach her a lesson, who knows how much more trouble she'll cause us!"

"What! She took 50 million from Jingmo? How come no one told me before?!"

Ning Jianguo slammed his teacup on the table in anger. The Ning family had a 30 million yuan loan that was about to expire, and he was so worried that he couldn't sleep at night.

It turns out that the bastard actually had fifty million in his hands!

Seeing her husband was angry, Li Lifen lowered her voice, "I only found out myself. After all, Jingmo didn't make it public either. I thought things might take a turn for the better."

Ning Jianguo was even angrier, "Then why didn't you wait until I was dead to tell me?"

Li Lifen dared not utter a sound.

Ning Yan just wanted her parents to help her vent her anger; the angrier her father got, the happier she was.

But because of her public image, she still had to offer some advice.

“But Dad, have you forgotten? You and Mom already signed an agreement to sever ties with Yaoyao. I’m afraid she won’t see us.”

Li Lifen sneered, "Relationships can be severed, but blood ties cannot!"

Ning Jianguo agreed with her words and gave Ning Yan some instructions.

"Yanyan, tomorrow you take me and your mother to find that wretched girl. If she dares to disown us, I'll make her pay!"

Having achieved her goal, Ning Yan secretly rejoiced.

Wasn't Ning Yao showing off that she had everything?

Now she's going to make Ning Yao spit out everything!
