Miss Lu Turned Her Back, Her Six Brothers Begged for Forgiveness - Chapter 61:
Chapter 61: Exposing the White Lotus’ Tricks
Hearing Qin Xiang’s voice, Lu Ning didn’t even need to turn around to know what the White Lotus was plotting. Over the years, she had suffered too many losses at Qin Xiang’s hands. She could guess Qin Xiang’s tricks with her eyes closed.
Without turning her head, Lu Ning reached down and grabbed her skirt. As she dodged to the side, she yanked her skirt hard. Qin Xiang, stepping on the skirt, immediately lost her balance and, along with the red wine in her hand, flew forward.
Right in the center of the hall was a champagne tower.
Qin Xiang fell straight into it, shattering the entire tower and soaking herself in champagne.
The sudden accident caught everyone off guard.
Lu Ning stood there indifferently, watching as Qin Xiang collapsed into the champagne tower, miserably screaming. A flash of ridicule passed through her eyes. After so many years, Qin Xiang’s tactics hadn’t changed a bit. But unfortunately, she wouldn’t let this White Lotus have her way anymore.
As the champagne tower collapsed, almost everyone in the hall turned to look.
“Xiang Xiang, are you alright?”
Lu Liu and Lu Nanfeng rushed over immediately.
Lu Liu stepped right on the broken glass to pull Qin Xiang up, “How could you be so careless?”
Qin Xiang was drenched, her arms and legs stinging with cuts, blood trickling down. She was furious inside—Lu Ning should have been the one to end up embarrassed!
She looked up at Lu Ning, her eyes red and full of unshed tears, speaking hesitantly, “Sixth Brother, I-I just fell accidentally. It wasn’t anyone’s fault.”
Lu Ning smiled slightly at the White Lotus’ usual tactics.
Lu Nanfeng noticed Qin Xiang’s glance toward Lu Ning. Could it be that Lu Ning did something?
He frowned and said, “Xiang Xiang, since it was an accident, be more careful next time. Sixth Brother can take you to the hospital.”
Qin Xiang stared at Lu Nanfeng in disbelief—that wasn’t what she meant! Her deliberate glance at Lu Ning was supposed to imply it had something to do with her! Claiming it was an accident was just to portray herself as understanding and wronged, as she always did. Before, they would always question Lu Ning. Why wasn’t Second Brother following the script this time?
Lu Liu asked coldly, “Xiang Xiang, tell me honestly—did Lu Ning cause you to fall?”
Qin Xiang shrank back and replied weakly, “Sixth Brother, please don’t ask anymore. It had nothing to do with Sister Ningning, it was just me being careless.”
Her posture suggested otherwise.
Lu Liu snorted coldly and turned to Lu Ning, “Why did you hurt Xiang Xiang? Just because I brought her and not you?”
He couldn’t think of any other reason.
Lu Ning raised an eyebrow, “Sixth Brother, I have an invitation. I don’t need anyone to bring me.”
She spoke with full confidence.
Lu Liu felt uneasy, “Don’t I know you? You’ve always disliked Xiang Xiang stealing your spotlight. You hurt her today just to make her look bad!”
Lu Ning laughed coldly, “What spotlight does she have that’s worth me stealing?”
Qin Xiang’s face turned black.
Lu Liu was at a loss for words.
Jiang Lu sneered, “Anyone can see that the one getting all the attention today is Lu Ning. She’s the hottest streamer recently and was invited to this banquet. Qin Xiang doesn’t even have an invitation. What spotlight does she have?”
Zhao Gao added, “Are Lu family members wired differently from the rest of us? Clearly, Lu Ning is the star today. Who’s stealing whose spotlight?”
Every word made Lu Liu’s face turn red and green.
Qin Xiang, full of grievance, teared up and said, “Sixth Brother, please stop. I fell because I wasn’t careful. It has nothing to do with Sister Ningning.”
She glanced at her wrist, “It’s a pity about this jade bracelet. I remember it was quite expensive.”
Lu Liu looked at the broken bracelet and then glared at Lu Ning, “Are you satisfied now?”
Lu Ning said lightly, “Aren’t all those pieces of jewelry on Qin Xiang things I gave her? If it’s broken, so be it. Sixth Brother, how can you be so petty?”
“How is that the same thing? Lu Ning, if you refuse to admit your mistake, then let’s check the surveillance footage! Let’s see how you explain yourself!”
Qin Xiang grew nervous, “Sixth Brother, forget it. There’s no need to make it ugly.”
Lu Nanfeng frowned, “Sixth Brother, Xiang Xiang already said she fell on her own. Just take her to the hospital.”
“No! I must get to the truth today!”
Lu Liu was furious, especially seeing Lu Ning’s indifferent expression. He wanted her to bow her head no matter what!
Lu Nanfeng looked at Lu Ning instinctively, “Ningning, what exactly happened?”
Was it really Lu Ning?
Lu Ning’s eyes were cold, “Fine. Check the surveillance then.”
Soon, the hotel staff brought the footage on a USB drive.
Lu Liu grabbed it, “This will reveal the truth.”
Without even watching it first, he was convinced Lu Ning was guilty.
The footage showed Qin Xiang stepping on Lu Ning’s skirt, and as Lu Ning dodged sideways, Qin Xiang lost her balance and fell!
Lu Ning’s expression didn’t change, “So?”
Lu Nanfeng coldly looked at Lu Liu, “Did you see clearly? It has nothing to do with Ningning! Qin Xiang tripped on her own!”
Lu Liu saw it too—it really looked like an accident.
His face burned with shame. Still stubborn, he said, “Lu Ning heard Xiang Xiang’s voice. She shouldn’t have dodged. If she hadn’t, Xiang Xiang wouldn’t have fallen!”
The entire hall was stunned.
How could anyone say something so ridiculous?
Lu Nanfeng yelled, “Lu Liu, are you crazy?”
Lu Ning threw the drink in her cup at Lu Liu’s face.
Lu Liu exploded, “Lu Ning, what are you doing?”
The next second, Lu Ning threw the cup itself.
This time, Lu Liu dodged.
The cup smashed right onto Qin Xiang.
Lu Ning sneered, “Sixth Brother, why did you dodge? Don’t you know that by dodging, Xiang Xiang would get hit? How could you be so selfish?”
Lu Liu jumped with rage, “Lu Ning, you’re framing me on purpose!”
Lu Ning raised her eyelids with disdain, “Just treating you the way you treated me.”
Jiang Lu shouted, “That’s right! You said yourself that Sister Ningning shouldn’t dodge. But when it was your turn, you dodged fast enough.”
Coach Zhao Gao said, “It’s clear Qin Xiang deliberately stepped on Lu Ning’s skirt to embarrass her but ended up falling herself. She got what she deserved!”
Jiang Lu nodded, “The one who should apologize is Qin Xiang!”
Such obvious facts—were the Lu family blind?
Lu Nanfeng turned to Qin Xiang, “How did you accidentally step on Ningning’s skirt?”
This situation was suspicious.
Seeing things fall apart, Qin Xiang bit her lip pitifully, “I was in a hurry to catch up with Sister Ningning and accidentally stepped on her skirt. It really wasn’t on purpose.”
Lu Liu said, “I knew Xiang Xiang wouldn’t do it on purpose. But Lu Ning deliberately let her get hurt!”
Lu Ning sneered, “I’m used to outcomes like this. It’s always the same.”
Hearing that, Lu Nanfeng felt even more guilty.
He slapped Lu Liu across the face and said coldly, “Lu Liu, I order you to apologize to Ningning now!”
Lu Liu, holding his face in shock, said in disbelief, “Second Brother, it’s clearly Lu Ning’s fault!”
Why was he the one getting slapped?
