Chapter 284 Is This a Hongmen Banquet?
Lu Ning not only saw Mrs. Ji, but also saw Mo Shiyi accompanying her.
When Ji Chiqian heard this, he felt a chill on his back.
He turned around and saw his stepmother and Mo Shiyi appear at the entrance of the Pear Garden.
Ji Chiqian paused and looked down at Lu Ning: "Let's eat ours."
He had already made it clear to his stepmother and Mo Shiyi.
He had never agreed to get engaged to Mo Shiyi before, and now that Lu Ning was around, he would definitely not agree.
Lu Ning followed Ji Chiqian back to the room.
She thought for a moment and said, "This time, there's a bribery scandal involving a supplier, and the Love United Foundation, led by the eldest daughter of the Mo family, is also in trouble. I guess they'll have something against the Lu family."
That's why Lu Dongyou invited the Chen family to have dinner together today.
Ji Chiqian also knew about this: "Don't worry, since everyone has been dragged into this, what qualifications do they have to look down on the foundation founded by my uncle and aunt?"
Uncle and aunt?
Lu Ning looked up at him and was deeply moved.
During the Chinese New Year, I must take Ji Chiqian to meet my parents.
In her heart, none of the Lu family's brothers were considered her family, except Ji Chiqian.
Ji Chiqian had already figured out how to resolve this matter, and the foundation would not let Lu Ning suffer any grievances.
If the person behind Qin Xiang's actions had not been found yet, he would have dealt with them all at once this time.
At this time, Ji Chiqian's phone rang. He took a look and saw that it was Gu Zifeng calling.
He handed the menu to Lu Ning: "Take a look at what you want to eat, I'll take a call."
Ji Chiqian took the phone and walked to the small balcony outside the box. He held the railing with one hand: "What's the matter?"
"You went to the Liyuan for a date under my name again? My aunt just called me and said that my friend went to the Liyuan for dinner and deliberately made things difficult for the Lu family, blocking them outside and not allowing them in."
Ji Chiqian said in a cold tone: "Teach them a lesson."
"Okay, but that's not the point. Lu Dongyou invited my aunt to dinner at the Liyuan Opera House. I think it was to resolve the issue of kickbacks that the foundation suffered losses from. The Lu family was really bold to expose this matter and offended many people."
Ji Chiqian also had an opinion on this matter: "Miss Chen is not your aunt's daughter, why is she so worried?"
"My aunt is worried about Chen Yu. You know that the Chen family's assets are now managed by the second wife. After the heir of the first wife passed away a few years ago, only Chen Yu was left by the original wife, and his stepmother gave birth to a little son. With an orphan and a widow, there is nothing to fight for. My aunt has to help."
Gu Zifeng's meaning was very clear, her aunt was doing it for Chen Yu's sake.
Ji Chiqian said in a cold tone: "I don't care about that. If the Chen family interferes in Lu Ning's matter, don't blame me for being rude."
Gu Zifeng was silent for a moment: "What exactly happened?"
Ji Chiqian briefly recounted what had happened.
Gu Zifeng was so angry that he cursed: "The people of the Lu family are too shameless. They are so greedy that they even like a vicious woman like Qin Xiang. Okay, I know how to tell my aunt about this."
Ji Chiqian hung up the phone and returned to the box. He restrained the sharpness in his eyes and became much gentler.
The dishes have been served.
Lu Ning looked up at him and said, "I saw you were still on the phone, so I ordered it directly."
"Well, let's eat first."
After Ji Chiqian sat down, he took the initiative to pick up some food for Lu Ning.
"Gu Zifeng called you, is it because of the two people who were stopped at the door?"
"Yes, don't worry, they can't get in."
Lu Ning felt relieved. "But I don't know what the Chen family will do. They'll probably side with Lu Dongyou."
If the Chen family wants to deal with the foundation, it will be really troublesome.
"No, Gu Zifeng will explain the whole story to her aunt."
Lu Ning was a little confused. What did this have to do with Gu Zifeng's aunt?
"Gu Zifeng's aunt married into the Chen family and now controls everything in the Chen family."
Ji Chiqian briefly explained the relationships among the people in the Chen family.
Lu Ning thought that Chen Yu was the heir to the Chen family, but she didn't expect that it was the people from the second house who took over everything in the Chen family.
"I thought the person Lu Dongyou invited today was Chen Yu's stepmother, but it turned out to be Second Aunt."
"I heard that Chen Yu's stepmother comes from an ordinary family. She rarely socializes outside and stays at home to take care of the children every day. She doesn't ask about the company's affairs. Moreover, she can't intervene in Chen Yu's affairs."
Lu Ning nodded. As a stepmother whose husband had died and who came from an ordinary family, she could not control Chen Yu's affairs.
Halfway through the meal, Lu Ning's phone kept ringing.
She took the phone and took a look. It was Lu Dongyou calling: "I guess he knows I'm in the opera house too."
Ji Chiqian glanced at her and said, "See what he wants to do."
Lu Ning thought so too.
She answered the phone and turned on the speakerphone. Lu Dongyou's voice came from the other end: "Lu Ning, I heard that you are also in Liyuan. I just invited Mrs. Chen to dinner today to talk about the foundation. You should come over and say a few words to Mrs. Chen."
Let her talk to Mrs. Chen?
What exactly is Lu Dongyou’s purpose?
Lu Ning glanced at Ji Chiqian and didn't answer for a moment.
Lu Dongyou said earnestly, "Lu Ning, I know you're dissatisfied with the Lu family, but if you want to gain a foothold in Yunjing in the future, it won't hurt to get to know more people. Besides, I've already discussed this matter with Mrs. Chen, so there's no need for you to do anything."
Lu Ning could tell that Lu Dongyou's tone was very nice, and it seemed more like he had something to ask of her.
Could it be that Mrs. Chen wants to see her?
Lu Ning said: "Okay, I'll come over later."
"Yes, in box XX."
Lu Dongyou seemed relieved and hung up the phone.
Lu Ning looked at Ji Chiqian: "I guess Mrs. Chen wants to see me."
Ji Chiqian also guessed this, most likely it had something to do with Gu Zifeng.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll go with you."
Even if Mrs. Chen would recognize him, he didn't want Lu Ning to be harassed.
"No need. Mrs. Chen wants to see me. If anything happens, I'll call you."
Lu Ning didn't want to involve Ji Chiqian.
The man looked at her deeply: "Okay."
Lu Ning then left the box with her phone. Ji Chiqian immediately contacted Gu Zifeng to find out the details.
Lu Ning walked out of the box and took the elevator downstairs.
As a result, I met Mo Shiyi.
When the other party saw her, he was also very surprised: "Ms. Lu, I didn't expect to meet you here. Are you here for dinner with your friends?"
When Mo Shiyi saw Lu Ning here, she almost guessed who she came with.
After all, not everyone can come to Liyuan to eat.
Lu Ning admitted openly: "Yes, I came here with my boyfriend."
After Mo Shiyi heard her boyfriend's words, her nails instantly dug into the palm of her hand and pain spread throughout her body.
After all, she and Ji Chiqian grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and she never thought that his girlfriend would not be her.
Lu Ning noticed that the other person's face was not very good: "Miss Mo, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Miss Lu, are you and your boyfriend in a free relationship? I'm so envious. Your relationship should be very good, right?"
Lu Ning nodded: "Very good."
Mo Shiyi saw the happy expression on Lu Ning's face, which almost hurt her eyes.
Mo Shiyi blurted out: "Then do you know who your boyfriend is?"
