Chapter 841 Oops, he found out
Lu Ning looked at the man in front of her, cold sweat covering her back.
She didn't expect that this man was here too. So how much did he hear?
Lu Ning began to recall what she had said just now.
Ji Chiqian bent down and looked at her: "Speak."
He saw the guilty look on the woman's face, which proved that there was definitely something wrong with the conversation just now.
Lu Ning laughed and said, "Um, do I need to explain to you that I called you? Mr. Ji, aren't you being too nosy?"
Ji Chiqian did not let her go: "You have too many secrets, and you know that I am not at ease with you staying in the Ji family. So I need to keep a close eye on everything about you."
"I can't accept your intense attention. People who don't know me might think you like me."
Lu Ning looked up at him, but the man pinched her chin: "Don't try to fool me this time."
Lu Ning swallowed her saliva. What should she do?
She thought for a moment and said, "What's wrong with me calling my family?"
"A controlling brother?"
Lu Ning raised her eyebrows. How did this man know?
Most likely it was my daughter who said that.
Yes, this man is so perceptive that he can roughly piece together the situation of the Lu family through the conversation with his daughter.
In order to avoid the scumbag, she and her children have not been very free in recent years.
That's why Ji Chi used to say that he was a brother with a strong desire for control.
Lu Ning smiled bitterly: "Since you know, I won't hide it from you. That's it."
"Tell me, what exactly is going on?"
"My brother called to ask how we're doing lately. After all, it's Xiao Xingyue's birthday soon."
Ji Chiqian frowned: "What does he want?"
"He originally wanted to celebrate his birthday together."
"impossible."
Ji Chiqian's face was cold: "If he wants to use force, then let him talk to me!"
Lu Ning felt the pressure from the man, and she suddenly smiled: "Don't worry, I've already rejected it."
Ji Chiqian lowered his eyes and looked at her: "That's all?"
"Yeah, that's all. It probably won't be long before he realizes something is wrong."
"So, you don't have much time left."
Ji Chiqian's eyes were scrutinizing: "I think you must need my help."
"That's right, but now is not the time to talk about it."
Lu Ning smiled and pushed Ji Chiqian's hand away: "Mr. Ji, don't be too curious about my affairs, otherwise..."
"Otherwise, what do you think?"
She raised an eyebrow: "Otherwise, I'm worried that you will fall in love with me."
Ji Chiqian chuckled: "You are too naive. Remember to use a different method next time."
After he finished speaking, he turned and left.
Lu Ning looked at his back and immediately patted her chest. It was really scary.
It seems that I really need to be more careful when answering the phone in the future.
Lu Ning's cell phone rang. When she answered the call, she looked around, fearing that the same situation would happen again.
She said, "Hello, what's up?"
"That scumbag's second uncle came to the group today. He's the one in charge of the clothing industry."
"I see."
Lu Ning's lips curled up coldly, finally waiting for something.
After she hung up the phone, she returned to the office area in high heels. Not long after, she saw a middle-aged man walk in, accompanied by a number of people.
Lu Ning took a look, but didn't move or walk out.
Soon, her office door was opened.
Gu Zhentian's cheerful voice came over: "Miss Lu, we finally meet."
"Hello, Mr. Gu."
Lu Ning stepped forward and shook hands with Gu Zhentian. "I've always wanted to meet Mr. Gu. After all, you're my mentor. Without you, I wouldn't have been able to go from being an unknown designer to the well-known one I am today, and I wouldn't have been able to get an invitation from the Gu Group."
"Ms. Lu is so modest. Of course I want to discover a capable woman like you. It's a pity that I haven't had the chance to meet you."
Lu Ning took a look at the two people's holding hands and felt nauseous.
This old bastard is as annoying as ever.
If it weren't for her plan, she would have dealt with the old guy long ago.
Gu Zhentian held Lu Ning's hand tightly and kept chatting.
A hint of coldness flashed in Lu Ning's eyes.
At this time, Ji Chiqian walked over and saw the two holding hands, his eyes became much colder.
The situation changed after Ji Chiqian appeared.
Lu Ning quickly took the opportunity to get away and walked directly to Ji Chiqian's side: "Mr. Ji, you are here to inspect the work as well?"
Ji Chiqian glanced at Lu Ning, then looked directly at Gu Zhentian: "How come Second Uncle Gu has time to come?"
"I heard that my nephew ran into some unsolvable trouble and went abroad. As his second uncle, I must come over to keep an eye on the company and give him a hand."
Gu Zhentian still looked cheerful: "As for you, you obviously have so much to do at home, and your health is not very good, so there is no need to work so hard. I am here to take care of the company's affairs, so there will be no problem."
"I'm free anyway, so I came over to take a look, to avoid being accused of not doing anything by some people."
Ji Chiqian remained calm.
Lu Ning was watching from the side and sensed something was wrong.
Gu Zhentian, the old beast, has a conflict with Ji Chiqian, or to be more precise, with that scumbag.
She had investigated early on and found out that this old beast had competed with Gu Zifeng for the inheritance rights, but ultimately failed.
Old Master Gu really liked his grandson Gu Zifeng at the beginning, but he was eventually defeated and went abroad in anger. It was even said that he did not come back to attend the old man's funeral.
This is why she deliberately approached Gu Zhentian, the old beast.
As long as she can make that scumbag uncomfortable, she will do anything.
Gu Zhentian glanced at Ji Chiqian, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but he still smiled: "Then I'll trouble you."
Gu Zhentian turned around and looked at Lu Ning: "Miss Lu, I'd like to invite you to dinner tonight. Would you do me the honor?"
"Of course, no problem. After all, Mr. Gu is my mentor. How could I refuse?"
Gu Zhentian nodded and left with his men.
Ji Chiqian stood there, looking at Lu Ning: "What on earth are you planning? When did Gu Zhentian become your mentor? Don't you think it's a nuisance?"
The corners of Lu Ning's mouth twitched: "This is my business."
The man frowned: "That's just a smiling tiger, don't be fooled."
Ji Chiqian left after saying this.
The expression on Lu Ning's face became much more serious. She certainly knew that the old man Gu Zhentian was not a good person.
But there's no way.
After Ji Chiqian left, he looked back at Lu Ning's office with a stern face.
I don't know what that woman is planning.
He looked at the secretary beside him and said, "Go check where Gu Zhentian and the others are having dinner tonight."
It is necessary to find out what that woman's intentions are.
