Chapter 1: Breaking off Relationships After Rebirth
"Lu Ning, do you admit your mistake or not?"
Lu Ning's mouth and nose were submerged in water, causing her throat to ache.
She opened her eyes from near death and saw her second brother Lu Nanfeng on the shore of the swimming pool, and her fourth brother Lu Bei holding Qin Xiang.
A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. This scene seemed so familiar.
Aren’t you dead?
Could it be that I was reborn three years ago, to the day when Qin Xiang was officially adopted by the Lu family as a daughter?
At the banquet, Qin Xiang deliberately plotted against her, making everyone think that she had deliberately pushed Qin Xiang into the water.
Fourth brother Lu Bei was the first to discover them, but he only saved Qin Xiang and left her struggling in the water as she also couldn't swim.
The second brother also forced her to admit her mistake.
It seemed as if he would not rescue her unless she admitted her mistake.
She struggled desperately in the water, admitted her mistake, begged for mercy, and pleaded with her brothers to save her.
She was rescued when she was on the verge of death.
From then on, she never dared to provoke Qin Xiang again, and carefully tried to please her brothers at home, but what did she get in return?
Qin Xiang stole her graduation thesis results, and her second brother Lu Nanfeng testified for Qin Xiang, causing her to be labeled a plagiarist and expelled.
Qin Xiang was in poor health and needed a kidney transplant, so her third brother Lu Xicheng personally sent her to the operating room to give her a kidney transplant.
Qin Xiang needed to gild herself with international competition results, so her fourth brother Lu Bei, fifth brother Lu Wu, and sixth brother Lu Liu kicked her out of the team without hesitation.
Lu Ning found evidence that Qin Xiang plagiarized the paper and forged medical records, and gave it to her eldest brother to expose Qin Xiang's true face.
But it angered the public, and no one believed what she said, or even looked at the evidence carefully.
The eldest brother Lu Dongyou kicked her out of the house to reflect on her actions.
She was living on the streets, penniless and suffering a lot.
The past came to mind, Lu Ning gave up struggling, and sank to the bottom of the swimming pool.
Her eyes were wide open and her face was expressionless, as if she were dead.
She looked at her brother surrounding Qin Xiang on the shore, and even after looking at him again, her heart still felt a piercing pain.
That's ridiculous.
She, her own sister, is not as good as an outsider.
Lu Nanfeng, the second brother on the shore, had been paying attention to Qin Xiang until he could no longer hear the sound of Lu Ning struggling. Then he turned back to look at the swimming pool - Lu Ning had sunk to the bottom of the pool.
Seeing this, Lu Nanfeng's face turned pale instantly: "Ningning!"
With a plop, Lu Nanfeng jumped down regardless of everything.
When Qin Xiang saw Lu Ning sinking, a bright light flashed in his eyes. It would be better if Lu Ning died.
She pretended to be weak, tugged at her fourth brother Lu Bei's sleeve, and said weakly, "Ahem, fourth brother, I also want to go save Sister Ning. She fell into the water because of me."
Lu Bei was worried to begin with, but after hearing this, he quickly comforted Qin Xiang: "Don't be silly, having your second brother is enough. Lu Ning is reaping the consequences of her own actions, she won't die!"
Lu Bei turned his head to look at the swimming pool with a complicated look in his eyes.
Lu Ning was in the water, looking at her second brother Lu Nanfeng who was swimming towards her, and the worry on her face did not seem fake.
Just now, he was the one who kept forcing me to admit my mistakes and apologize, and watched coldly as I struggled to drown.
This time, she didn't want him to save her.
Lu Ning showed a hint of sarcasm in her eyes, turned around and swam out of the water.
After the drowning incident in her previous life, her second brother forced her to learn swimming from Qin Xiang.
She was already traumatized, but in order to satisfy her second brother, she learned to swim despite her fear. However, in the end, her second brother only praised Qin Xiang for her bravery and for overcoming her psychological fear.
Little did she know that the minute she was deliberately left in the water also left her with serious aftereffects.
But no one cared about her, and Lu Nanfeng only had Qin Xiang in his eyes.
"Lu Ning, what are you doing? Do you think pretending to drown can erase the mistake you just made?"
Lu Nanfeng blocked her way. He felt that Lu Ning seemed to have changed a lot. When did she learn to swim?
Lu Ning looked up at her second brother Lu Nanfeng in front of her. She used to like her second brother the most.
Because the eldest brother is very strict, only the second brother is close to me.
But now there was only disgust and impatience in Lu Nanfeng's eyes.
Qin Xiang's soft voice came: "Second brother, this matter is not Sister Ning's fault. I know she has never liked me to become a member of the Lu family. I am too greedy and shouldn't dream of having a family. Don't quarrel because of me, wuwuwu, you are all very important people to me."
Fourth brother Lu Bei raised his head and glared at Lu Ning: "Are you satisfied now? If her father hadn't died saving you, she wouldn't have become an orphan. I shouldn't have saved an ungrateful person like you! I'd rather have let you die!"
Lu Nanfeng frowned. "Ningning, we should have a conscience. We should treat Xiangxiang as a family member. This is what our Lu family owes her, and you owe her even more. Do you understand?"
"Second brother, if she understood what was wrong with such an ungrateful person like her, she wouldn't have done such a thing as pushing Xiangxiang into the water. Uncle Qin would have saved a dog instead of saving her!"
Lu Ning felt cold all over as she was in the wilderness.
If possible, she would rather not be rescued.
She endured the burning pain in her lungs and spoke in a hoarse voice: "It's indeed my fault. I won't do it again."
Because she would never do such a stupid thing again.
Since they like Qin Xiang as their sister, she should withdraw.
"Ningning, did you really do this on purpose? Do you know Xiangxiang can't swim? This could get someone killed!"
Lu Nanfeng was very disappointed. He thought it was just an accident, but he never thought that Lu Ning had deliberately killed Qin Xiang.
When did Lu Ning become so vicious?
At this time, the family doctor rushed over. Lu Bei turned around and scolded Lu Ning: "You'd better pray that Xiangxiang is okay, otherwise you will suffer when Big Brother comes back."
Lu Nanfeng followed for a few steps, then turned around and saw Lu Ning standing there, soaked all over and with a pale face. He suddenly felt a little soft-hearted.
He said, "Go back to your room and change your clothes. The party will start soon."
Lu Ning didn't say a word, and soon she was left alone.
She waited until they were all gone, then she bent over and coughed violently, as if she wanted to cough out her lungs.
She swallowed the crimson breath in her throat and supported herself back to her room.
She lay in the bathtub, closed her eyes and thought about her past life when she was living on the streets and turned evil, and wanted to kill Qin Xiang.
But failed.
She was locked up in a mental hospital by her eldest brother and was tortured to death by the caregiver arranged by Qin Xiang.
She covered her face and laughed out loud, her voice a little creepy, but it was great.
When Lu Ning opened her eyes again, her gaze was extremely cold.
After Lu Ning changed her clothes, she looked at the bedroom in front of her, which still seemed a little unfamiliar.
In her previous life, this bedroom was finally given to Qin Xiang, and she lived in Qin Xiang's small room.
Lu Ning saw the family photo on the table: a young couple holding a baby, with six little boys standing beside them.
Unfortunately, a few years after she was born, her parents died in a car accident.
The driver rescued her first, and when he returned to rescue her parents, the fuel tank exploded and the driver also died.
Qin Xiang is the driver's only daughter and has been sickly since childhood.
After the car accident, the eldest brother took Qin Xiang to the Lu family and raised her together.
Everything has changed since Qin Xiang appeared.
Her favorite brothers all sided with Qin Xiang.
"Qin Xiang is not in good health, so I hired a chef to prepare meals suitable for her. Ningning, please supervise Xiang Xiang to eat well."
"Lu Ning, Xiangxiang also wants to learn painting. You've almost finished your studies, so let her be the teacher."
"Lu Ning, you should withdraw from this competition. Let Xiangxiang, who came in second, represent the school. She's been preparing for a long time."
"Lu Ning, Xiangxiang's scores are low. You should apply to the same university as her so that you can look after her in the future."
....
Lu Ning covered his head with his hands, and his heart was filled with pain.
She took small sips of breath and finally swallowed the pain.
She never wants to have anything to do with the Lu family again in her life!
She put the photo away, lowered her head and began to pack her things.
Not long after, the servant knocked on the door: "Miss, the banquet has begun. The Second Young Master asked you to change your clothes and go down."
"knew."
Lu Ning opened the door and walked straight towards the bustling venue outside.
The servant's eyes widened and he murmured, "What is the young lady wearing? Has she gone crazy?"
Party outside.
Qin Xiang wore a white evening gown with her long black hair draped over her shoulders, looking like a pure and kind girl next door.
The second brother Lu Nanfeng and the fourth brother Lu Bei stood by, looking at Qin Xiang gently and dotingly.
This scene is heartwarming no matter how you look at it.
Lu Nanfeng couldn't help but think of Lu Ning. He wished she could be so well-behaved and sensible.
In recent years, Lu Ning's temperament has become more and more arrogant and domineering.
"Lu Ning is here!"
