Chapter 555 The Coward Hiding Behind the Scenes

Lu Ning looked up and met those eyes.

What he said was probably that he envied Chen Yu for having a part-time boyfriend who was a bodyguard and could cook.

Although the matter of her boyfriend has not been made public yet, Lu Ning feels that it is almost time.

I didn’t expect Ji Chiqian to learn how to cook in person?

This is a bit surprising.

Ji Chiqian pinched her face: "Why, do you think I can't?"

"That's not the case, but you're usually so busy, isn't cooking a waste of time?"

Lu Ning also worked at Maple Leaf Company for a while. She knew that when work got busy, there was really no time to do these housework.

In fact, she also accepts eating takeout and doesn't think there is anything wrong with it.

Ji Chiqian turned around and said, "Go wait at the table."

Seeing that he didn't want to pay attention to her, Lu Ning walked straight to the dining table and waited. In fact, she knew how to cook.

In the past, in order to please her brothers at home, she specially studied the hobbies of each of her brothers.

But in the end it was fed to the dogs.

Soon, a Western breakfast was placed in front of Lu Ning.

I guess Ji Chiqian wouldn’t be able to make a breakfast that’s too complicated.

Ji Chiqian felt a little frustrated. Cooking was indeed not as simple as he had imagined. Just like doing an experiment, there were many things that required attention.

But it's okay as long as you spend more time on it.

Lu Ning took a bite of the poached egg and said, "It tastes pretty good."

Ji Chiqian also sat down, with a hint of arrogance in his tone: "I said this is not a difficult thing."

Lu Ning smiled. This guy was actually feeling proud.

After dinner, Ji Chiqian asked, "Are you free to go back today?"

"Yes, it happens that I don't have classes on the weekend."

Lu Ning looked at him: "What about you?"

"available."

When Lu Ning heard these two words, she paused: "Aren't you busy?"

Ji Chiqian put down his chopsticks and looked at her with burning eyes: "Ji Mo has made rapid progress in the company recently, and he can handle many things."

Lu Ning nodded: "That's good, I was just worried that it would delay your work."

"Don't be so polite with me."

When Lu Ningting heard this, he looked at the fried egg in front of him and his heart trembled slightly.

At this time, Lu Ning's phone rang.

She took a look and saw that it was a call from Lu Nanfeng. The lawsuit was over, so what else was there?

Lu Ning thought for a moment and answered: "Is there anything else?"

"I was originally planning to hold a funeral for Qin Xiang, but the hospital said her body had been taken away by her mother."

"What?"

Lu Ning held her phone and asked, "Hasn't she found her mother's whereabouts?"

"Nothing has been found, and the body is missing. I'm not worried about the body, but Qin Xiang's mother's appearance is so strange, and she took the body away for no reason. Is she worried about what we might do with it?"

Lu Nanfeng always felt that something was wrong, so he called Lu Ning immediately.

Lu Ning didn't expect that the woman who had been hiding and not showing her face actually took the body away secretly.

She said, "Maybe they're really worried that we might do something with the corpse? They're the kind of people they are, so they're worried about others doing the same."

"Ningning, I'm still worried that Qin Xiang's mother will retaliate. After all, they're like brothers, and the other party is lurking in the dark, making it impossible to guard against them."

"so what?"

"So you have a good relationship with Mr. Ji, don't you? Ask Mr. Ji to help find the person. Of course, we will also try our best to find him, but no matter what, there is strength in numbers. If this matter can be resolved sooner, I won't have to worry about retaliation from them."

After listening to this, Lu Ning said calmly, "Instead of worrying about revenge against me, you should worry about revenge against yourselves."

"If it's really just coming for us, then I don't have to worry too much. I'm just worried about it affecting you."

Lu Nanfeng knew better than anyone how much Lu Ning wanted to live a new life.

After listening to what Lu Ning said, she was silent for a moment and said, "Don't worry about my affairs. I can handle it myself."

After saying that, Lu Ning hung up the phone.

She looked at Ji Chiqian in front of her: "You also heard what I said just now, what do you think?"

Lu Ning never thought of hiding these things from Ji Chiqian.

Ji Chiqian calmly poured her milk. She was so busy talking that she didn't even drink the milk.

He replied calmly, "They took the body away because they were afraid you might use it as a threat."

"But Qin Xiang hasn't had a good time lately, and I haven't seen Qin Xiang's mother do anything. Now that she's dead, she shows up and is worried about being threatened by the corpse? This doesn't make sense."

Lu Ning felt that Qin Xiang's mother must also be a suspect.

She didn't want to miss the murderer again. If the murderer really had a clear conscience, why didn't he dare to show up?

Anyway, this is a very strange thing.

Ji Chiqian nodded: "Your analysis makes sense. There must be something wrong with the other party, so she doesn't dare to show up. She probably has the so-called maternal love for Qin Xiang, but it's not much. Otherwise, she wouldn't wait until she's dead to show up."

"That's right, but if the body is suddenly taken away, we will definitely be able to find its whereabouts."

Ji Chiqian looked at Lu Ning and said, "I'll send someone to investigate and there will be news. As for you, if you find anything unusual, be careful."

"The other party won't make a move. After being a coward for so many years, he must be worried about his identity being exposed. But if he makes a move, it will be a good opportunity to find clues."

After what happened with the Mo family, Lu Ning became much calmer.

This matter cannot be rushed. The more anxious you are, the more likely you are to fall into the trap.

Anyway, Mrs. Mo has been arrested now, and the murderer from that year has been arrested. If there is a fish that has escaped the net, we can just look for it slowly.

Ji Chiqian smiled and said, "You have grown a lot."

"If I hadn't grown after going through so much, I would have died a long time ago."

Just like in the previous life.

Lu Ning looked at Ji Chiqian: "Let's go back."

Ji Chiqian nodded. Although she would occasionally say these discouraging words, she was already very brave to walk out of the Lu family.

Lu Ning and Ji Chiqian took a private plane and went directly back to their hometown in City A.

When she set foot on this place again, she remembered what happened in her previous life, and this time she really changed her destiny.

Lu Ning and Ji Chiqian even bought flowers for the grave-sweeping ceremony and then drove all the way to the cemetery.

When Lu Ning walked into the cemetery, her mood became extremely complicated.

In her previous life, she never knew the truth about her parents' death until her death, and was toyed around by the murderer's daughter.

Lu Ning was silent the whole way, as if she was thinking about something.

Ji Chiqian noticed her silence and didn't say anything, but followed her silently all the way.

Lu Ning came to her parents' grave.

She put down the flowers in her hand and said, "Mom and Dad, I finally found out the truth of what happened back then. You've seen it, right? The murderer has paid the price."

Her vision was blurred and she apologized in her heart: I'm sorry, I knew nothing and could do nothing in my previous life.

Ji Chiqian wiped her tears: "Uncle and aunt will be very happy when they know it."

He tilted his head to look at the black and white photo on the tombstone: "I'm sorry about what happened back then."

I will take good care of Lu Ning in the future, please trust me.

It was he who personally took Lu Ning out of the car that year, and he will be responsible for her for the rest of her life.

Not far away, Lu Xicheng watched all this.
