Chapter 345: Stop Flattering Yourself

Lu Ning looked at Mrs. Mo who appeared and really couldn't wait to get Mo Shanshan out.

Li Man stepped forward to stop Madam Mo: "Sorry, Miss Lu needs to rest now."

"Who are you to dare to stop me?"

Mrs. Mo's tone was very arrogant. She didn't take Li Man seriously at all, just a lackey of the public relations team.

Lu Ning glanced at Li Man and said, "You go out first. I want to talk to Madam Mo alone."

Li Man nodded: "Miss Lu, if you need anything, please call me in anytime. Mr. Ji has already given instructions."

Madam Mo glanced at Li Man as she left the ward, then turned back to look at Lu Ning: "I didn't realize that Ji Chiqian had sent so many people to monitor you."

"It's just a PR team, equivalent to my personal assistant team. There's no such thing as monitoring or not monitoring."

Lu Ning's calm answer made Mrs. Mo very annoyed.

Madam Mo sneered, "Lu Ning, you haven't watched too many TV dramas, have you? Haven't you ever enjoyed this kind of treatment?"

"Mrs. Mo, have you forgotten? Although our Lu family is not ranked high in Yunjing, we still have status and position in City A."

"With the level of your Lu family company, can it be considered as having status? Stop flattering yourself."

Lu Ning's eyes were cold. "But as far as I know, the Mo family has been operating poorly over the years, and the company is facing bankruptcy. If it weren't for the orders and contracts given to you by the Ji family, your Mo family would have gone bankrupt long ago, even surpassing the Lu family."

Mrs. Mo's expression changed instantly: "Where did you hear this gossip?"

"Whether it's gossip or not, Madam Mo knows it very well. That's why you're so shameless and want to get engaged to Ji Chiqian."

"Lu Ning, stop pretending to be indifferent. My daughter is right. Your expression is really annoying."

Madam Mo stepped forward and pressed Lu Ning, "As a woman who's been deceived, what qualifications do you have to say such things to me?"

"Tell me what you want to talk to me about, get to the point."

Mrs. Mo calmed down. "Don't you want to know what Ji Chiqian is hiding from you? Let's make a deal. If you withdraw the lawsuit and don't pursue the matter of Shanshan, I will tell you the truth."

A truth that will plunge Lu Ning into the abyss of despair.

Lu Ning looked at Madam Mo in front of her and said, "Okay."

"You agreed so easily. It seems that you still care about what Ji Chiqian has hidden from you? I suddenly changed my mind. In addition to not pursuing Shanshan's affairs, you must also break up with Ji Chiqian and keep your distance!"

Mrs. Mo looked at Lu Ning with a smile, as if she had everything under control.

Lu Ning stared at the lady in front of her: "Don't you think your request is a bit too much?"

"How much? But it's a good deal for you."

Madam Mo approached Lu Ning and lowered her voice: "This truth is enough to plunge you into the abyss of pain, but if you leave Ji Chiqian, you won't be so miserable. I'm helping you."

Lu Ning looked up and their eyes met.

"Didn't I tell you that no one is allowed to disturb Lu Ning when she's resting?"

Ji Chiqian pushed open the door of the ward with a stern face and walked in. He went straight to the bedside and cast a sharp gaze on Madam Mo: "I heard that you wanted to talk to Lu Ning alone. What did you tell her?"

Mrs. Mo looked at Ji Chiqian and subconsciously took two steps back: "Nothing, I just saw your mother was in a dilemma, so I came to talk to Miss Lu and wanted her to stop getting into so many troubles."

"Is that all?"

Ji Chiqian had deep facial features and he pressed forward towards Madam Mo, who was so frightened that she retreated to the door.

Mrs. Mo was a little angry: "A Qian, I came here for your mother, how could you treat me like this?"

"How could a selfish person like you come here just for my mother? You clearly have other motives, right? Don't think I don't know!"

Madam Mo's legs almost gave out and she couldn't stand still: "I, I don't know what you are talking about."

Could it be that Ji Chiqian knew what she was going to say?

Ji Chiqian said with a stern face: "You want to force Lu Ning to go to the police station to withdraw the complaint, right?"

Mrs. Mo's tone was unnatural: "Is there anything wrong with me doing this? The incident had nothing to do with Shanshan in the first place. She was just implicated."

"Then you should tell the police instead of Lu Ning."

Ji Chiqian's tone was threatening: "Mo Shanshan has made so many mistakes and even killed someone. She should be punished now."

"No, Qian, you also watched Shanshan grow up. Your mother wanted to adopt Shanshan as her goddaughter. Have you forgotten?"

When Mrs. Mo heard Ji Chiqian's words, she immediately fell into panic. If Ji Chiqian intervened in this matter, there would be no turning back.

Ji Chiqian shook off Madam Mo's hand and said, "You should go."

"A Qian, you can't do this. Our two families have such a good relationship, you can't do this."

Mrs. Mo was really panicked.

Ji Chiqian pushed Madam Mo out of the door and lowered his voice: "If you don't want the Mo family to go bankrupt, you'd better shut up."

Mrs. Mo looked at Ji Chiqian in shock. Did he guess it?

So Ji Chiqian used the Mo family to warn himself to shut up and not tell Lu Ning about the car accident that year.

Mrs. Mo felt a little happy, as it seemed that this was Ji Chiqian's weakness.

So can it be used?

But the next second, Ji Chiqian closed the door of the ward and ignored Mrs. Mo outside.

Li Man walked to Madam Mo and said, "Please come in."

Madam Mo glared at Li Man and said, "You were the one who informed Ji Chiqian, weren't you? What a pity! Lu Ning can't marry into the Ji family. You've chosen the wrong person."

Mrs. Mo left angrily. As for that matter, she needed to plan it again.

In the ward.

Lu Ning looked at Ji Chiqian who was walking over and asked, "Why are you here so suddenly? Are you done with the company's work?"

"Are you okay? What did she say to you?"

There was a hint of insecurity in Ji Chiqian's eyes. He was worried that Mrs. Mo had said something strange.

Lu Ning shook her head. "Nothing. Just a warning to me not to dream of a toad wanting to eat swan flesh. I was the one who caused the old lady to be rescued in the middle of the night."

"Don't worry about grandma. I know you said that to cheer her up."

"But I think I messed up. Your grandma didn't like my joke."

Lu Ning felt a little frustrated. She looked at Ji Chiqian seriously and asked, "How is the old lady now?"

"It's all right now."

Ji Chiqian saw Lu Ning's expression and became anxious: "Lu Ning, what my grandma said, you..."

"I'll keep it in mind."

Lu Ning looked seriously at the handsome and mature face in front of her. One could imagine how many girls were throwing themselves at him.

Suddenly I feel a little jealous of those girls.

Ji Chiqian panicked instantly: "Lu Ning, it's not that my grandma doesn't like you, she said that because..."

"Why?"

Lu Ning looked up at him, she reached out and held his face, little by little from his eyebrows to his nose bridge, and finally to his thin lips.

Ji Chiqian's body froze and he fell into great panic for a moment.

Lu Ning's eyes fell on his thin lips: "Are you hiding something from me?"
