Chapter 573 Don't Pretend to Be Brotherly and Sisterly
When Lu Ning heard these words, she was actually a little angry.
When she was kicked out of the Lu family, it was Ji Chiqian who stayed with her and cheered her up. Apart from not agreeing with her being with Ji Chiqian, Aunt Ji was actually very nice to her.
Lu Ning knew that Mrs. Ji was so nice to her because she felt guilty about the car accident that year.
Lu Ning said coldly: "You won't harm me? You've hurt me like this, and you still have the nerve to say such things?"
Her voice sharpened.
Lu Xicheng's eyes flickered: "Let's eat first. I will make arrangements for Madam Ji's situation."
Lu Ning suppressed the anger in her heart, but she couldn't leave.
After all, Aunt Ji’s illness still depends on Lu Xicheng, but this feeling of being half-threatened is not very pleasant.
But Lu Ning still compromised.
She could still endure it so that Aunt Ji's illness could be cured.
After Lu Ning agreed to stay, Lu Xicheng's expression improved a lot: "Eat first, don't worry so much, I will take care of it for you."
Lu Ning didn't say anything.
Lu Dongyou spoke up from the side: "Lu Ning, look at how much your third brother cares about you. Do you know how many people out there are looking for him? But he ignored them all. Only you made him an exception."
Lu Xicheng interrupted Lu Dongyou: "Alright, big brother, it's only natural for us to care about her. She's my sister, and we're all family. As long as she asks, I can agree to anything."
Lu Ning could tell that these words were directed at her.
She is no longer the little girl who allowed herself to be manipulated by others.
After Lu Ning sat down to eat, she didn't say anything. She just focused on eating.
At this time, Lu Wu finally appeared, but his expression was not very good.
When Lu Wu saw Lu Ning, his expression froze and his face was very complicated.
Lu Wu touched his prosthetic limb and said, "Lu Ning, I know about your company's affairs, but I know that the products you design are very good. I can come forward to clarify for you."
Lu Ning watched as Lu Wu continued to use the same prosthetic limbs he had before.
She frowned: "There is a problem with the material of this product. You can go to the company to make an appointment for a return or exchange."
"My body is just like this anyway. How much worse can it be? Only when I use the prosthetic limb you designed do I feel like a healthy person who can stand up and walk normally."
Lu Wu was in a very depressed mood, filled with decadent atmosphere.
When Lu Ning heard this, she looked at him with a hint of sarcasm: "That's not what you said when you defended Qin Xiang before."
Lu Wu suddenly felt guilty, and all the words in his heart were choked back and he couldn't say them out.
The atmosphere during the meal was not good.
After finishing the meal, Lu Ning looked at Lu Xicheng and said, "Can you tell me now?"
"Let's go for a walk, then?"
Lu Xicheng suggested taking a walk in the garden with Lu Ning.
Lu Ning agreed immediately. She didn't want to hear their teachings anyway.
After the two walked out, it was a bit cold outside.
Lu Ning felt the cold wind and suddenly felt terrifyingly awake.
She put her hands in her pockets: "Go ahead."
Lu Xicheng looked at her: "Are you cold?"
After he said that, he took off his coat and wanted to put it on Lu Ning.
Lu Ning refused directly: "I'm dressed very warmly, I'm not cold at all."
Lu Xicheng held his coat, revealing a broken and hurt expression.
Lu Ning said indifferently, "There's no one else here, so you don't have to pretend like this."
Lu Xicheng paused and looked at Lu Ning suddenly: "You..." Did you notice something?
Lu Ning continued, "We all know it, there's no need to pretend to be a close brother and sister."
Lu Xicheng said lightly: "I just want to make amends."
"If you really wanted to make amends, it wouldn't be like this."
"Little sister, how do you think I can make it up to you? I can leave everything on the island and stay here to treat Madam Ji. As long as you are willing to forgive me and call me Third Brother."
Lu Xicheng looked at Lu Ning seriously, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
When Lu Ning met those eyes, she was dazed for a moment. They were completely similar to the cold eyes she had in her previous life.
She avoided Lu Xicheng's gaze and said, "Why bother? I'm not that important."
"No, you are the most important to me."
Lu Ning felt very strange when she heard this.
She looked at Lu Xicheng: "But we haven't been in touch for these years, right? You and I don't have such a good relationship as siblings. It seems strange that you act like you care about me so much."
"So, in your eyes, am I weird?"
"Yeah, weird, more like an ulterior motive."
Lu Ning's eyes were defensive.
This look hurt Lu Xicheng's heart. He instantly remembered what had happened in the past, which made him feel like dying.
He couldn't control his hands and wanted to touch Lu Ning's face.
But Lu Ning dodged it directly.
Lu Xicheng's hand was empty, and he withdrew it with difficulty: "I'm sorry, I was too busy with work before and didn't notice that you were living like this at home. I should have been more careful. I shouldn't have listened to my eldest brother and misunderstood you, causing you so much harm."
Lu Xicheng's eyes were filled with pain, and his dark eyes were filled with intense emotions.
Seeing Lu Xicheng like this, Lu Ning turned her head away and said, "It's all in the past."
"No, there is no past for me."
Lu Xicheng was still very emotional: "You can't make a decision about Mrs. Ji's treatment alone. Go to the hospital tomorrow."
Lu Ning looked at Lu Xicheng: "How can you solve it?"
"Don't worry, I won't hurt anyone you care about."
After hearing this, Lu Ning pursed her lips and said, "Aunt Ji was very nice to me before."
"I hope they will be worthy of your kindness."
Lu Ning looked up and looked at him: "I can tell the difference."
"Can you guarantee that? They were kind to you back then, but they also had a purpose."
"It doesn't matter. At least I have a clear conscience. If I find out that they are really like what you said in the future, I will leave. I won't be hurt again by the people who hurt me."
Lu Ning left after saying this.
Lu Xicheng looked at Lu Ning's back, and then snowflakes began to fall from the sky. He stretched out his hand and saw snowflakes in his palm.
He slowly closed his palms to melt the snowflakes.
He remembered that in his previous life, it was also a snowy day like this when he saw Lu Ning's body.
She just lay there coldly, covered in wounds and dirty like a discarded doll.
When Lu Xicheng opened his eyes again, there was a hint of madness in his eyes.
So this time, he will do his best to protect her.
Since the Ji family is powerful, he will climb to a higher position in the future so that the Ji family will not dare to act rashly.
By then, no one could hurt her.
Lu Nanfeng walked out: "Third Brother, why did Ningning leave? How was your talk?"
"I promised her to go to the hospital tomorrow and ask the Ji family to come and discuss what to do. I can't let her do all these things alone without anyone from the Ji family showing up, right?"
Lu Nanfeng hesitated for a moment: "Are you willing to agree so easily?"
Lu Xicheng looked at the snow in the sky: "I can't refuse her request."
Lu Dongyou walked out and said, "Then you can propose an offer to the Ji family. Our company is partnering with PZ Company to develop an artificial intelligence project, and we are taking advantage of their quality scandal to enter the market."
Lu Xicheng looked at Lu Dongyou with eyes full of hostility.
