Chapter 286 No One Can Leave Today
Lu Ning didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that they met right at the elevator entrance.
As expected, it’s easy to meet each other if we eat at the same place.
At this moment, the atmosphere froze and everyone's eyes were extremely complicated.
Mo Shiyi looked surprised for a moment. She didn't expect to be caught so soon.
It would be fine if it was just her and Madam Ji, after all, she knew who Lu Ning was, but Madam Chen was different.
This is bad.
Mrs. Chen was extremely shocked.
After all, she saw Lu Ning and Ji Chiqian holding hands at a glance, and guessed that the two had a special relationship.
In addition, the previous marriage between the Ji family and the Mo family fell through, and it was said that Ji Chiqian had a girl he liked outside, but he protected her very closely, and basically no one knew who she was.
Mrs. Chen was also curious, but she didn't ask anyone to dig it out for fear of offending Ji Chiqian.
But who would have thought that it was the eldest daughter of the Lu family!
Mrs. Chen looked directly at Ji Chiqian. No wonder Gu Zifeng called her to talk about the foundation. It must be Ji Chiqian's intention.
Mrs. Chen couldn't help but said to Ji Chiqian: "Ji..."
Mrs. Ji suddenly interrupted Mrs. Chen and said, "You just said you were going for maintenance, right? It's too late, let's go."
Mrs. Ji looked a little flustered, and she was the first to walk towards the elevator.
Lu Ning saw Mrs. Ji coming and pulled Ji Chiqian out of the elevator to make room for her.
Ji Chiqian's expression at this moment was unpredictable. He just looked at his stepmother, unable to guess what Mrs. Ji wanted to do.
At first he thought his stepmother would make things difficult for Lu Ning.
But to his surprise, his stepmother was very nice to Lu Ning.
In fact, at this time, Ji Chiqian had already decided to confess his identity to Lu Ning, but he didn't expect his stepmother to say anything.
Mrs. Ji was so confused that she didn't even look at Ji Chiqian and Lu Ning.
Mrs. Chen was confused but didn't say anything.
Mo Shiyi was in a mess. She didn't want Lu Ning to know Ji Chiqian's identity now.
So even though the three women had complicated emotions inside, no one spoke.
The elevator door closed again, isolating everything.
Mrs. Ji finally breathed a sigh of relief. After she walked out of the elevator, she said to Mrs. Chen, "I hope what happened just now can be kept secret."
Mrs. Chen glanced at Mo Shiyi and whispered, "That girl is no match for Shiyi."
"I know, but many things can't be explained in just a few words."
Mrs. Ji then looked at Mo Shiyi, her eyes filled with guilt. "I want you to be my daughter-in-law, but you know no one can shake his decision. You're not young anymore, go on blind dates with other outstanding boys."
Mrs. Ji knew that Ji Chiqian didn't like Mo Shiyi, so there was no need to continue dragging the girl along.
"Aunt Ji, is there something I haven't done well enough?"
Mo Shiyi was a little panicked. Without Mrs. Ji's support, it would be even more impossible for her and Ji Chiqian to be together.
"No, you've always been very kind. But it's impossible for Ah Qian and Lu Ning to be together. Because... apart from me, the old lady wouldn't agree."
After Mrs. Ji finished speaking, she left with a heavy heart.
Mrs. Chen could only comfort Mo Shiyi: "If the Ji family doesn't agree, Miss Mo still has a chance. After all, men are very realistic when getting married."
Mo Shiyi gave an ugly smile, she knew it.
But Mo Shiyi always felt that Mrs. Ji's attitude was not right. If Mrs. Ji really didn't like Lu Ning, why was she so nice to Lu Ning?
Being so nice to Lu Ning, yet not wanting Lu Ning to be with Ji Chiqian, is quite contradictory.
There must be something she doesn't know, and it must be investigated thoroughly.
——
Upstairs, after Lu Ning stepped out of the elevator, she suddenly looked at Ji Chiqian and asked, "Do you know Mo Shiyi?"
Ji Chiqian's heart was hanging: "I know him."
"Do you remember when we had a car accident before, she brought you a lunch box and said your mother asked her to do so."
Lu Ning hadn't thought about asking any more questions, but now her relationship with Ji Chiqian was different.
Ji Chiqian nodded: "Yes, my mother asked her to come, but I have an average relationship with her."
So that's how it is.
Lu Ning thought that Mo Shiyi also knew Gu Zifeng, and probably they were friends who knew each other.
After returning to the box, Lu Ning continued to eat. She was not full just now.
Ji Chiqian was thinking about the scene just now and felt a little uneasy.
He was indeed relieved that Mrs. Ji did not reveal his identity in public.
He looked at Lu Ning who was eating and was hesitant.
After Lu Ning finished eating, she saw Ji Chiqian seemed to be hesitant to speak and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"I have a friend and something happened."
"What's wrong?"
Lu Ning wondered if that friend could be Gu Zifeng.
"My friend's family is quite wealthy. He later got a girlfriend but hid her identity. Now he is hesitant about whether to tell her."
"In this case, I suggest breaking up directly."
When Ji Chiqian heard the word "break up", his face turned pale.
He swallowed guiltily: "Break up directly? But what if he doesn't want to break up!"
"If you don't want to break up, then why weren't you honest in the first place?"
Lu Ning said seriously, "I think when two people are together, they should be honest with each other. Isn't he hiding his identity because he's worried that the other person is after money?"
"That's not it."
Ji Chiqian was so anxious that his lips were bubbling. He had never been so nervous when he was negotiating in the business world before.
"What's that for?"
Facing Lu Ning's gaze, Ji Chiqian couldn't say anything, and he couldn't even tell the real reason.
Lu Ning suddenly came closer: "Ji Chiqian, there's something wrong with you."
Ji Chiqian's forehead was covered in cold sweat.
Lu Ning narrowed her eyes. "You're pleading for that friend so much, could that friend be you?"
Ji Chiqian was so scared that he dared not speak.
Lu Ning laughed out loud: "Just kidding, I guess it's probably Gu Zifeng."
Ji Chiqian's back was covered in cold sweat. Should I say it now?
But Lu Ning just said that we should break up immediately.
He doesn't want to break up at all.
In the end, the prince of the Ji family was scared. He had to think of a good solution, so he went back to discuss it with Gu Zifeng.
Lu Ning glanced at the time and said, "Let's go. It's getting late."
The two left the opera house together.
But Lu Ning saw Lu Wu and Qin Xiang still outside. She was a little surprised: "You haven't gone in yet?"
Qin Xiang's face twisted with anger, what a bitch.
The fact that they were left here for so long was probably because of Lu Ning.
Lu Wu was furious and yelled, "Lu Ning, did you say something to Big Brother? He hasn't come out in here and hasn't answered our calls."
Otherwise, why were he and Xiangxiang kept outside for so long?
"You should ask Lu Dongyou about this. Why are you asking me?"
Lu Ning guessed that Lu Dongyou did this on purpose, and was probably dissatisfied with these two people.
Qin Xiang said aggrievedly, "Sister Ningning, I know you have something against me, but today's dinner is very important and concerns the foundation. You're deliberately causing trouble like this. If the foundation gets into trouble, you'll regret it."
Damn, I heard Mrs. Chen is at the dinner today.
If she could leave a good impression on Mrs. Chen, she would definitely be able to continue to climb up the ladder. However, she couldn't even get into the opera house, let alone get to know Mrs. Chen.
All of this is Lu Ning's fault.
It must be that bitch Lu Ning who deliberately prevented her from making friends with Mrs. Chen.
Lu Wu came to Lu Ning in a wheelchair and grabbed her hand: "You must take Xiangxiang and me in now, otherwise you are not allowed to leave."
He promised to bring Xiangxiang to the opera house, he can't go back on his word.
