In her previous life, after her parents tragically died in a car accident, her eldest brother, to maintain a good reputation, brought the daughter of the deceased driver home.
To treat everyo...
Chapter 502 Should She Believe Lu Xicheng?
When Lu Ning heard Lu Dongyou's words, she clenched the cutlery in her hands.
She hadn't decided what to say, nor whether to say it at all.
But now that Lu Dongyou said this directly, it was a bit embarrassing.
Lu Ning subconsciously looked at Lu Nanfeng. She didn't expect that he would speak so quickly and tell Lu Dongyou directly.
Lu Nanfeng quickly and carefully explained, "Ningning, I just mentioned it to Big Brother, but I didn't expect him to say it now."
Lu Ning curled the corners of her mouth. It's still the same as before.
Qin Xiang realized that the atmosphere was not right, so she quickly said, "Sister Ningning, what exactly do you want from Third Brother? Just tell me. Third Brother is so kind to you, he will definitely not refuse."
Lu Xicheng raised his eyes and glanced at Qin Xiang, his gaze as cold as ice.
Qin Xiang was frightened by this look and immediately shut up.
Lu Xicheng then looked at Lu Ning and said in a gentle tone: "Let's eat first. No matter what my little sister wants, I will agree to it."
Lu Bei, who was sitting next to him, said excitedly, "Lu Ning, you have to trust Third Brother. He's very capable."
Lu Liu also nodded: "Yes, there is nothing that Third Brother can't do."
Lu Xicheng shook his head: "Don't say that. I was also kept in the dark about this matter between my parents. It was also thanks to my little sister's cleverness. Otherwise, all of us would die with regrets."
His tone remained calm, but Qin Xiang felt a chill for no reason.
Qin Xiang only now realized why her third brother was not friendly to her. It turned out that it was because of her father's affairs. But she was not the one who did it back then, so why was he taking his anger out on her?
Lu Nanfeng tried to smooth things over: "Let's eat."
Lu Dongyou snorted coldly, feeling that Lu Ning's current attitude was chilling.
After the meal, Lu Ning went directly to the bathroom.
After she came out of the bathroom, she happened to meet Lu Dongyou, who was obviously coming for her.
Lu Dongyou spoke directly: "Lu Ning, how long do you want to quarrel with your family? Even if we brothers were foolish and deceived by Qin Xiang, we have always been mean to you. You may have some grievances against us, but Third Brother didn't do anything to you, right?"
Lu Ning stood by and washed her hands. On the surface, Lu Xicheng really hadn't done anything to her at the moment.
Perhaps because she exposed Qin Xiang's father's conspiracy in advance, everyone's attitude towards Qin Xiang changed, and the kidney transplant in the previous life would probably not have happened.
But she still couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart.
Lu Ning didn't say anything, she didn't want to answer this question.
Lu Dongyou was a bit relentless: "Lu Ning, your third brother is back this time. Given his influence, the Lu family will be fine. So don't offend anyone, okay? Your third brother doesn't owe you anything."
Lu Ning glanced at Lu Dongyou and said, "None of this has anything to do with me."
"Why is it okay? Stop and explain it to me."
Lu Dongyou stepped forward to block Lu Ning's way: "What do you want in order to agree to the conditions I just mentioned?"
Lu Ning frowned: "Get out of the way."
At this time, Lu Xicheng came over and said, "Brother, don't be so mean to your sister."
"I'm not being mean to her. If Lu Ning had been as obedient as before, I wouldn't have been so mean to her."
When Lu Dongyou saw Lu Xicheng, his attitude became much better.
Lu Xicheng turned sideways and looked at Lu Ning: "Let's go for a walk in the back garden after dinner."
Lu Ning didn't want to get entangled with Lu Dongyou here, so she turned around and left.
Lu Dongyou wanted to say something, but was stopped by Lu Xicheng: "Brother, it doesn't matter what my sister's attitude towards me is. After all, in her eyes, she probably thinks we are all the same. After all, if I hadn't been so busy at the time, maybe I could have stopped you."
Lu Dongyou felt a little guilty when he heard about the past: "Anyway, Lu Ning's temper has become very bad and hard now, you should be mentally prepared."
"I see. I'll go out and talk to my little sister."
Lu Xicheng followed Lu Ning's footsteps and went out.
The leaves in the garden outside have all fallen off, and there are only a few flowers left.
Lu Ning walked outside and felt the cool breeze, and immediately calmed down a lot.
"Aren't you cold wearing so little?"
Lu Ning heard Lu Xicheng's voice in her ears, her shoulders sank, and a coat was placed on her shoulders.
Lu Ning turned her head away and subconsciously refused: "I'm not cold."
"There's a kind of coldness where your brother thinks you're cold."
Lu Xicheng put his hand on her shoulder, his eyes extremely gentle.
Lu Ning couldn't face Lu Xicheng like this. She took a few steps back in resistance and took off his coat.
Lu Xicheng was helpless: "Little sister, do you still hate me?"
Lu Ning's pupils shrank. What did he mean by this?
According to the development laws of this life, there was indeed no conflict between her and her third brother, and the incident on the operating table did not happen.
Lu Ning's eyes were filled with temptation: "I don't quite understand what you are saying."
Lu Xicheng smiled bitterly: "After all, I have been busy all these years and didn't care about you, so I didn't know you were having such a hard time. If I could care about you a little more, I wouldn't let my elder brother and the others favor Qin Xiang so much."
After hearing this, Lu Ning lowered her eyelids. So that's how it was.
What a pity! If the third brother had come back earlier, things would have been the same as in his previous life.
She subconsciously touched her waist, and then she might have an extra scar there and lose an organ.
She looked at the dark shadows of the trees in the distance and replied calmly, "Even if you come back early, it won't change anything."
"It can be changed."
Lu Xicheng's tone suddenly became a little impatient: "If I could come back earlier, I would definitely be able to stop all this. Qin Xiang wouldn't plot to hurt you, and I wouldn't let my eldest brother and the others favor you and abuse you. You wouldn't cut off ties with your family and become so estranged."
Lu Ning looked at the shadow on the ground with a hint of self-mockery.
"Little sister, don't you believe what I say? I can prove it to you in the future."
Lu Ning looked up: "There's no need for that. I don't want to see the so-called proof."
The light in Lu Xicheng's eyes dimmed instantly: "Yes, now that you have exposed all this, it proves how stupid we brothers are."
Lu Ning handed over the coat: "There's no need to do this. I think we should keep our distance. It's better for everyone."
Lu Xicheng took a look at the coat and finally reached out to take it with difficulty.
He smiled bitterly: "I came back too late. If I had come back earlier, would you not be like this?"
Lu Ning's eyes flickered as she thought of the time when she was sent to the operating table in her previous life.
She felt that this possibility would not happen.
She was able to get to where she is today entirely due to herself, not the regrets and compensations of her brothers in the Lu family.
Lu Ning said coldly, "What else? Do you think I can still be a happy family with you guys after going through all the hurt I've experienced?"
She turned and tried to leave.
Lu Xicheng chased after him: "Okay, okay, it's Third Brother's fault. I won't mention these things that made you unhappy. People should really look forward, not look back."
Lu Ning walked towards her SUV.
Lu Xicheng followed and said, "Little sister, what do you need me to do for you? After all, I won't be back for long. Tell me as soon as possible so that I can make arrangements."
Lu Ning put her hand on the car door and was in hesitation.
Should she say it?
In other words, can she trust Lu Xicheng?
