Miss Lu Turned Her Back, Her Six Brothers Begged for Forgiveness - Chapter 16:

Chapter 16: Now She Was the Team’s Only Savior

Lu Ning noticed the way Sixth Brother was looking at her and frowned slightly. At that moment, she received a call from Second Brother Lu Nanfeng.

“Ning Ning, you should be at the venue, right?”

Lu Ning had a bad feeling. She wanted to deny it, but the fans’ screams around her had already answered the question.

“Ning Ning, your Fourth Brother and I suddenly have urgent company matters to handle, so we can’t participate in the match. Today’s game is very important to your Sixth Brother. Go and join the team. No matter what conflicts you had with Sixth Brother before, when facing difficulties, we need to be united, right?”

As she listened to Second Brother’s words, all the noise around her seemed to disappear. Her silence was deafening.

Lu Ning directly hung up the phone. She didn’t want to say anything. She came today to watch them make a fool of themselves, not to play.

On stage, Lu Liu waited for a while but saw that Lu Ning hadn’t left her seat to come backstage, making him irritable.

He scowled. “What does Lu Ning mean? Does she expect me to go down and invite her myself?”

Qin Xiang’s eyes flashed with a smile. “Sixth Brother, I’ll message Sister Ning Ning, but since she’s sitting in the audience, I guess she’s still angry. Otherwise, with her old temperament, she’d already be backstage.”

Lu Liu remembered the old Lu Ning. She would have understood what he needed without him saying anything. He had gotten used to her always being there. But now, Lu Ning was like a completely different person.

Lu Liu grumbled, “Call her. If she comes to play, I’ll let go of the past and still treat her like my sister.”

He thought, as long as Lu Ning lowered her head, he could let it slide. Things could go back to how they used to be.

Qin Xiang’s expression stiffened but forced a smile. “Okay, I’ll call Sister Ning Ning right away. I’m sure she’ll come for your sake.”

Lu Liu’s face looked slightly better.

Qin Xiang stepped aside to call, watching Lu Ning from the stage, her gaze cold and dark.

Lu Ning glanced at the incoming call and noticed Qin Xiang on the stage. She didn’t need to guess what Qin Xiang wanted to say. She directly rejected the call and expressionlessly looked at the stage.

Qin Xiang, after being hung up on, looked a little surprised but quickly showed a pleased expression. Good, saved her the trouble. She didn’t want Lu Ning to steal the spotlight anyway. She wanted Lu Ning to watch and see with her own eyes that she and Sixth Brother would win the match without her.

They didn’t need Lu Ning at all!

Qin Xiang returned to Lu Liu’s side, red-eyed and pitiful. “Sixth Brother, I must have said something wrong. Sister Ning Ning must hate me, that’s why she didn’t answer. Should I go find her?”

Lu Liu’s face was dark. “No need. Second Brother told me he was hung up on too. That means Lu Ning never planned to participate. Don’t bother.”

“Sixth Brother, I believe Sister Ning Ning isn’t like that. She wouldn’t come just to watch us fail.”

“Hmph, we’ll win this match for sure. I won’t let Lu Ning get her way.”

Lu Liu put on his headphones, no longer looking at the audience.

Seeing this, Qin Xiang showed a satisfied smile. Lu Ning, this time, I will win again.

The match started quickly.

Lu Tian Team vs. Tushan Team.

Lu Ning watched the commentary on the big screen. At first, Lu Liu, as the assassin, led the team in an ambush. But the opponents clearly had studied Lu Liu’s tactics and had set a bait trap.

In her past life, she had felt something was off and warned Lu Liu to be cautious and not rush in. At that time, Lu Liu had scolded her harshly. In the end, he took someone to check the situation and fell into Tushan Team’s ambush. She had led the remaining team members, turned the tide, and counterattacked the enemy’s base.

This time, she wanted to see what Lu Liu would decide without her warning.

Sure enough, Lu Liu made the same mistake as in her past life, leading the entire team into the enemy’s trap.

Seeing the predictable outcome, Lu Ning smiled faintly. As expected!

Soon, Lu Liu realized they had fallen into a trap, but it was too late. The team’s rhythm was completely disrupted. Qin Xiang panicked and made consecutive mistakes, almost causing teammates to die.

Lu Liu led everyone to retreat into a building.

He couldn’t help but curse. “Qin Xiang, where’s your brain? Didn’t I say retreat? Why did you rush in? Trying to show off?”

Qin Xiang’s mentality was collapsing. “Sixth Brother, I couldn’t stand it. I saw that enemy with low health and just wanted to finish them off.”

“You were the one getting finished off! If you were so good at this, you wouldn’t have been trapped, causing us to get attacked.”

Qin Xiang was scolded in front of everyone, her pride bruised. “If you hadn’t fallen into the trap and dragged us into an ambush, how would this have happened?”

Lu Liu instantly exploded. “You dare blame me? It’s your incompetence holding us back. After all this training, you’ve learned nothing but wasted our time!”

Qin Xiang’s face turned into a palette of colors. Furious, she left her seat directly.

The entire arena went into an uproar. During a match, a team member leaving like that would severely impact the game.

The big screen focused on Lu Tian Team, Lu Liu’s grim expression broadcasted to everyone.

Lu Liu could only call for a pause. Each team had one chance to pause per match.

The opposing team’s fans began whispering, already prematurely celebrating.

Lu Liu slammed his keyboard, visibly furious. He hadn’t expected Qin Xiang to throw a tantrum and leave. If it were Lu Ning, no matter how harshly he scolded her, she would never throw a fit.

The atmosphere became awkward.

The other team mocked them from across the stage. “Lu Liu, why don’t you just surrender now? Spare yourself from being humiliated later. At least save yourself some dignity.”

Lu Liu stood up abruptly. “I won’t surrender! You’re just scared of losing, so you try to provoke me!”

“Lu Liu, anyone with eyes can see you’re bound to lose. Your teammates are even leaving. Didn’t you claim your family team would never lose?”

“What family team? Just a bunch of orphans whose parents died, nothing worth bragging about. This isn’t about who has more siblings!”

Lu Liu’s temper exploded instantly, ready to charge forward. “Watch your damn mouth!”

“What’s wrong? Did I say something false? Try me, you fatherless trash. If your parents were still alive, they’d die from shame seeing you play like this.”

In the audience, hearing this, Lu Ning’s face turned cold, her gaze filled with fury. How dare they insult her parents!

Lu Ning stood up and headed backstage.

Lu Liu was forcibly dragged back by his teammates to avoid a public fight, which would only bring negative publicity.
