Miss Lu Turned Her Back, Her Six Brothers Begged for Forgiveness - Chapter 62:

Chapter 62: She Will Never Return to the Lu Family

“I don’t want to repeat myself.”

Lu Nanfeng was usually gentle, but when angry, he was still intimidating. He gritted his teeth and looked at Lu Liu, “Did you forget why we came here today?”

Only then did Lu Liu calm down. He came to the banquet to find a chance to reconcile with Lu Ning. How did it turn out like this?

Qin Xiang, sensing the situation was wrong, carefully said to Lu Liu, “Sixth Brother, let’s go. My foot hurts a little.”

Reluctantly, Lu Liu took Qin Xiang and left without apologizing.

Lu Ning watched the farce unfold, finding it all absurd. Aside from that, she felt nothing else.

The same old tricks from Qin Xiang, the same reactions from Sixth Brother—it only made her feel more disgust and boredom.

Lu Nanfeng swallowed his discomfort and carefully looked at Lu Ning, “I apologize on behalf of your Sixth Brother. I didn’t expect him to behave like this either.”

Seeing Sixth Brother so righteously demand Lu Ning apologize made Lu Nanfeng feel even more guilty.

Lu Ning’s voice was cold, “I don’t accept his apology.”

“Ningning, I know you have every right to be angry, and so am I. But you really can’t sign with Douxia Live Stream. This industry is complicated, and Second Brother doesn’t want you to suffer losses.”

Lu Nanfeng looked at her expectantly, “Second Brother knows you’ve always been obedient and understanding. I was the one who neglected you before, but I won’t anymore. If you sign with Qingguo Live Stream, all the resources will be yours.”

“I’ve already agreed to sign with Douxia Live Stream.”

Lu Ning’s response was calm and light.

Lu Nanfeng’s expression stiffened. He hadn’t expected Lu Ning to move so quickly. He was incredulous, “For something so big, you decided alone? Didn’t you think about discussing it with your family?”

“My affairs, I’ll decide myself.”

Lu Ning turned and left, not wanting to waste more words with her Second Brother.

Lu Nanfeng watched her back, feeling helpless and pained again.

The current Lu Ning had changed a lot. She no longer relied on him, no longer revolved around him.

The little incident at the banquet was soon forgotten.

As the streamer who performed the Twelve-Strike Combo, Lu Ning was very popular at the event.

Finally, the manager of Douxia Live Stream personally came over with a contract and smiled at Lu Ning, “Miss Lu, no better day than today. Let’s sign the contract now.”

Lu Ning nodded, “Alright.”

Lu Nanfeng silently watched all of this, tilting his head back to drain his glass of red wine, feeling so stifled he could hardly breathe.

Lu Ning stood on stage, confident and brilliant.

Only now did Lu Nanfeng realize his little sister had grown up without him noticing. She was no longer the little girl who needed to cling to the family.

After the banquet, Lu Ning met many people.

She and Jiang Lu left the banquet together.

Jiang Lu was extremely excited, “Today was so satisfying! Watching Qin Xiang suffer karma, I could laugh in my sleep.”

Lu Ning smiled, “After all this time, Qin Xiang’s tricks haven’t changed.”

But she would never again sit idly by and be set up.

“Miss Lu, let me give you two a ride.”

Coach Zhao Gao from Qiuqiu Team walked over, very proactive and warm.

Just as Lu Ning was about to refuse, Lu Nanfeng walked up, “No need to trouble others. I’ll take my sister home.”

Zhao Gao raised his eyebrows, “Are you sure your sister is willing to go with you?”

“She is my sister after all. Coach Zhao, you’d better give up on your little ideas.”

Lu Nanfeng didn’t want Lu Ning involved with Qiuqiu Team.

Lu Ning stepped back, putting distance between herself and Lu Nanfeng, “I can go by myself. No need for anyone to drive me.”

“Ningning, I want to talk to you.”

Lu Ning’s expression remained calm, “I don’t think there’s anything to talk about.”

“Ningning, I know you’re angry. Sixth Brother’s behavior today was really out of line. I’ll make it up to you. Do you really want to distance yourself from the entire family over what Sixth Brother did?”

Lu Ning only found it funny.

Didn’t the whole family always side with Qin Xiang?

She answered coldly, “To me, it makes no difference.”

Lu Ning walked to the roadside to call a taxi, but a familiar car pulled up in front of her.

Lu Ning instantly knew who it was.

The window lowered, and Ji Chiqian looked at her, “Get in.”

Lu Ning opened the passenger door and got in. Just as she closed the door, Lu Nanfeng rushed over, “Ningning, I know you’re tired today. Could we find another time to talk?”

Lu Ning pressed her lips together, “Depends.”

Ji Chiqian immediately stepped on the gas and drove off.

Lu Nanfeng stood awkwardly in place. He turned to Coach Zhao Gao, “Coach Zhao, Lu Ning will never sign with your team. You better give up.”

“You Lu family really are something. Afraid of a little competition? Never seen such shameless bias.”

Zhao Gao instead looked toward the direction where Lu Ning’s car had disappeared.

If he wasn’t mistaken, wasn’t that kid driving?

No wonder Lu Ning could perform the Twelve-Strike Combo!

But why would that person show up here and personally pick up a girl? It didn’t seem simple at all.

…

Lu Ning sat in the car and sneaked a glance at the man beside her, “Why are you here?”

“On the way.”

Ji Chiqian’s long fingers rested on the steering wheel, his expression a little unnatural, “Did you have fun at the banquet?”

“It was quite fun.”

Lu Ning thought about her Sixth Brother and the White Lotus being thoroughly embarrassed, and her mood improved greatly.

Ji Chiqian glanced sideways at her. He had heard what happened at the banquet and came to pick her up, worried she might be affected. But it turned out she was much stronger than he imagined.

Lu Ning’s phone chimed. It was a message from her eldest brother.

She didn’t even look at it, knowing it would be more moral blackmail.

They weren’t tired of saying it, but she was tired of hearing it.

Lu Ning put her phone down, “Let’s go eat barbecue.”

“Okay. Where do you want to go?”

“There’s a barbecue place behind our school that’s really good. I used to sneak over to eat there. Every time I went, it felt like stealing. I even worried about the smell staying on my clothes.”

Ji Chiqian followed up naturally, “Why did you have to sneak around?”

“Because my Second Brother said junk food was bad for health and forbade me to eat it…”

Lu Ning trailed off, not continuing.

Ji Chiqian noticed her emotional shift, “Are you sure you won’t regret leaving the Lu family?”

“I won’t.”

Lu Ning lowered her eyes, “They treated me fairly well in trivial matters, but when it came to anything important—like choosing schools after the college entrance exam, or anything involving Qin Xiang—they always made me compromise and give in.”

Such superficial kindness was meaningless to her.

She didn’t want to be morally blackmailed because of it.

Ji Chiqian’s lips curved slightly. It seemed he had worried for nothing.

They arrived at the back gate of the school.

Ji Chiqian frowned at the hygiene of the area but still sat down slowly.

Lu Ning ordered a lot of her favorite dishes, “I haven’t eaten this in so long. Let’s have two cans of beer too.”

The stall owner glanced at Ji Chiqian and asked Lu Ning, “What would your boyfriend like to eat?”

Lu Ning froze—boyfriend?
