Chapter 329 Is Lu Ning worthy of becoming a phoenix?
Mrs. Chen's question attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone has heard that the engagement between the Ji and Mo families fell through because Ji Chiqian fell in love with another girl outside and dumped Mo Shiyi.
Lu Ning felt everyone's gazes on her and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
She raised her eyes and looked at Ji Chiqian, but his eyes were deep and unfathomable, and she couldn't tell what he was thinking at all.
Ji Chiqian locked his eyes with her and said lightly, "Not yet."
After hearing this, Mrs. Mo showed a smug expression on her face. She said, how could Ji Chiqian publicly acknowledge a girl from such a small family as his girlfriend?
He is probably just attracted to Lu Ning now, but in the end he will choose a girl of equal status to marry and have children.
Mrs. Mo felt that perhaps she shouldn't have let Mo Shiyi accompany Mrs. Ji to leave the banquet and go to the hospital. It would be nice to see the scene with her own eyes.
Men are usually eloquent, but they are still sober at critical moments.
Mrs. Chen also deliberately asked, "But didn't you just call Miss Lu your girlfriend?"
"Because I haven't caught up with her yet, it's just my wishful thinking."
The man's voice was calm and affectionate.
When Lu Ning heard his words, her chest seemed to be hit hard by something, and her calm heart instantly surged with huge waves.
She didn't expect Ji Chiqian to be so humble in public.
The smile on Mrs. Chen's face froze instantly. She was a little surprised and then looked at Lu Ning. She really didn't expect that this girl was so capable and could coax Ji Chiqian around.
Although Mrs. Mo had a smile on her face, the smile did not reach her eyes. After all, no one would be happy if the son-in-law she had been eyeing for many years was suddenly snatched away by someone else.
"Then Big Brother Ji has to try harder to behave better. Our Lu Ning has many admirers in school."
At this time, Chen Yu took the initiative to step forward and took Lu Ning's arm: "If Big Brother Ji doesn't work hard, then others will chase him away."
After Chen Yu finished speaking, Mrs. Chen frowned and said, "Chen Yu, don't talk nonsense."
"Second Aunt, I'm not talking nonsense. This is the truth."
Chen Yu supported Lu Ning silently. She knew that everyone in the circle looked down on Lu Ning, thinking that Lu Ning had no status and was still a member of the Lu family.
"I will try my best."
Ji Chiqian lowered his eyes and looked at Chen Yu: "Happy birthday, time flies. I still remember you were a little kid before."
"Yes, I loved chasing you when I was little, but because my legs and feet were not convenient, I was always injured and you would be scolded by Grandma Ji."
Chen Yu talked about the past for a while, and his mood became much better. "It's going to be a dance session soon, let's all join in the fun. Lu Ning, can you dance?"
Lu Ning nodded: "A little bit."
After all, when she was in City A, the Lu family was considered a well-known family, and she had attended many similar banquets.
Lu Ning saw Chen Yu reaching out to her: "Then let me invite you to dance."
At this time, Madam Mo beside her said, "Chen Yu, how can you invite a girl to dance with you? Why don't you invite your eldest brother from the Ji family to dance with you? You have known each other since childhood."
Mrs. Chen saw this and said quickly, "That's right, that's right. We originally arranged for you to dance with Mr. Lu, but now why not dance with Mr. Ji?"
Lu Ning took a special look at Madam Mo, and she was indeed a hardcore white lotus.
If someone else said this, they would definitely be jealous of Chen Yu dancing with Ji Chiqian.
Mrs. Mo even specifically said something about how they had been close since childhood.
Chen Yu quickly refused: "That's not necessary. It's more appropriate for the eldest brother of the Ji family to dance with Lu Ning."
But Madam Mo kept pressing on: "Chen Yu, today is your birthday after all. I believe Miss Lu is not so stingy, okay?"
Lu Ning met Madam Mo's eyes and smiled: "I'm fine."
"Look, Miss Lu has said this, Chen Yu, don't be shy."
Mrs. Mo had a gentle and decent smile on her face, but there was a hint of coldness at the corners of her mouth.
Chen Yu was so anxious that she kept looking at Lu Ning and Ji Chiqian. After all, she could tell that Mrs. Mo said that on purpose.
Ji Chiqian saw it, and he looked at Chen Yu: "Sorry, I only want to dance with the girl I like today, but I can find a big brother for you."
"Come on, come on, didn't I miss cutting the cake?"
Gu Zifeng arrived late at this time, followed by Ji Mo.
When Chen Yu saw Gu Zifeng, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother Zifeng, can I invite you to dance with me?"
"Sure, you have to let me protect you. You can't let other brats get this chance."
Gu Zifeng is really a smart guy. Although he didn't know what was going on, he still stepped forward and politely invited Chen Yu to dance.
Gu Zifeng whispered to Chen Yu, "What's the situation? Just tell me briefly."
"That person from the Mo family deliberately encouraged the eldest brother from the Ji family to dance with me, leaving Lu Ning aside."
Because of his second aunt, Chen Yu has been closer to Gu Zifeng since childhood.
Gu Zifeng understood instantly: "It seems that the people of the Mo family really are not giving up."
The one from the Mo family is the best at stabbing people with a soft knife.
Lu Ning watched Chen Yu and Gu Zifeng go dancing together, and noticed that the lady of the Mo family didn't look very happy.
Lu Ning looked over and asked, "This Madam Mo is Mo Shanshan's mother, right?"
"Yes, it's me. What do you want to talk to me about?"
The coldness in Madam Mo's eyes faded a little, but the smile on her lips deepened a lot.
Madam Mo couldn't help but wonder, what exactly does this little bitch Lu Ning mean?
Lu Ning nodded. "Yes, I'm here to talk to you about something. Just now, everyone saw your daughter, Mo Shanshan, deliberately bringing her friends to accuse me of stealing. She even said she wanted to call the police and have me jailed for a few years."
Lu Ning's words were very direct, and she saw that the smile on Mrs. Mo's face faded.
Weren’t you smiling so happily just now?
Mrs. Mo cursed Mo Shanshan in her heart. How could she give birth to such a stupid daughter who was as dumb as a pig and only held her back!
Although she was furious, Mrs. Mo spoke gently, "I just found out about this. Shanshan has always been soft-hearted, and she was instigated by her friends. She caused such an unpleasant scene at the Chen family's banquet. I've already taught her a lesson."
After Mrs. Mo finished speaking, she looked at Mrs. Chen and said, "I'm so sorry. Our Shanshan has always been in trouble since she was little."
"It's nothing. It's normal for children to fight and quarrel. I don't take it seriously."
Mrs. Chen understood what Mrs. Mo meant and immediately looked at Lu Ning and said, "Miss Lu is also here to attend Chen Yu's birthday party today. You shouldn't care about such a small matter and make Chen Yu embarrassed, right?"
Lu Ning's eyes grew colder. Were these two people colluding to morally blackmail her?
Ji Chiqian frowned and spoke first: "She is kind and doesn't care, but that doesn't mean I don't care."
