, as if only he and Mingming existed. He suddenly asked in a complicated tone, "There's something I really want to ask you.""Go ahead.""Perhaps this is a presumptuous question, but I want to know how..."What do you want me to say This lock being broken has nothing to do with me." Luo Ningxi raised her eyes calmly, showing an innocent expression.

"It's none of your business You sent the things, and it's not your business who else it concerns" Jian Ningyi screamed excitedly, "I kindly asked you to design jewelry for my son to ease the relationship between you and my father-in-law. I didn't expect you to be so vicious as to curse my son! If you don't give us an explanation, your Luo Group can just wait for a lawyer's letter! The Li family will not let you go!"

Li Jianbin saw this and also hurriedly took out his attitude, “You’re right! Luo Ningxi, you are going too far! Last time at the fashion show, we chose to let it go, but I didn't expect you to push your luck!”

Each member of the Li family had their own ulterior motives, but for a moment, they were united against the outside world. Luo Ningxi couldn't help but smile wryly at this unexpected sight.

She was waiting for her here after all...

Want to take advantage of the situation to make things difficult for her and the Luo Group

"Everyone, before you start throwing accusations around, could you at least provide some evidence"

Luo Ningxi spoke, walked to Jian Ningyi's face, and snatched the silver lock from her hand.

"What are you doing Are you trying to destroy the evidence!"

Jian Ningyi tried to snatch back the silver lock, but her wrist was firmly held by a large hand.

She looked up and met the man's icy gaze, a chill running down her spine instantly. She froze in place!

Li Bohan stood behind Luo Ningxi, the two of them so close that Luo Ningxi could feel his breath. "Since it's broken, of course we need to see how it's broken. What are you nervous about"

"Li Bochen, don't be inappropriate." Li Jiancheng acted like a fox whose tail had been stepped on, reflexively rushing forward to grab Jian Ningyi's hand. "Are you going to turn against the Li family for that outsider Luo Ningxi!"

Li Bochen sneered, disdainfully raising his lip. "Don't try to intimidate me with the Li family. I've been at odds with all of you for quite some time now, I'm just stating the facts."

"You!"

"That's enough! Don't you think this house is messy enough already!" Li Jiancheng tried to speak, but was harshly interrupted by Old Master Li!

His aged and profound eyes swept over Luo Ningxi, then turned to Li Bochen, placing his hand under his nose and coughing violently several times.

"Cough cough... Let her look. I want to see what she can still figure out."

The air fell silent once more.

Luo Ningxi's slender fingers rubbed the silver lock in her hand.

The familiar, pleasant scent of cedarwood clung to the man around her. She only needed to raise her head slightly to see his exquisitely sculpted profile.

Luo Ningxi lowered her eyes, stepped aside, and maintained a distance from Li Bichen. She raised the lock in her hand and spoke calmly, "Everyone, this longevity lock is not the one I gave to Mrs. Li today."

"This silver chain is the one you just gave me, Miss Luo. For your own sake, you even came up with such a ridiculous excuse"

Jian Ningyi immediately refuted.

Li Jianbin frowned and asked, "You just came to deliver the lock! We were all watching! How could it not be you who brought it!"

“The longevity lock I designed for Lady Li should have a pattern of auspicious clouds on the back, but this one doesn’t. So even if it was possibly switched, the purpose…to break it in full view of everyone is naturally to frame me.”

Although Lu Ningxi's words were spoken to everyone, her gaze was fixed on Li Bichen.

Although I didn't initially plan on drawing auspicious clouds, the design was accidentally leaked, so I made some last-minute changes. How exactly it happened... I don't even know myself.

Li Bochen met the woman's cunning gaze, and his heart already understood most of it. The mist in his eyes deepened by a few points.

So Lonning Xi discovered that someone was investigating her!

Now her eyes were filled with suspicion, wondering if she and Jian Ningyi had colluded to set her up and harm her

Damn, does this woman even have a conscience!

"Jian Ningyi, what on earth is going on Is this lock in your hand really from Miss Luo"

Mr. Li asked in a deep voice, causing Jian Ningyi to tremble uncontrollably!

She looked incredulously at Li Boche and Luo Ningxi, her own lock made according to the design drawing, clearly had auspicious clouds on the back!

Now that there's no auspicious cloud sword, it was clearly put in by Li Bochen later!

It's a pity that she didn't notice the difference because of the time constraint back then.

But what's most hateful is Li Bohan...he actually schemed against me for Luo Ningxi! He schemed against the child in my belly!!

"No, Dad, this lock is the one Ning Xi sent. She's just trying to mislead you..."

"To prove whether or not I'm lying, it's very simple!"

Jan Ningyi's heart suddenly felt a surge of panic. She immediately retorted, "To get yourself off the hook, you can say anything. Why should I believe you"

Lu Ningxi's smile widened. She didn't answer her, but addressed the crowd instead, "Everyone, the materials I sent for the longevity lock are special. And since the birthday banquet started, no one else has gone out. So, if this lock was replaced by someone, then my genuine one must still be in the Li family's ancestral home. As long as Mr. Li is willing to look for it, he will definitely find it."

As soon as the words fell, Jian Ningyi's body shook violently, and the resentment in her eyes instantly engulfed Luo Ningxi!

Mr. Li's face turned even darker, his wrinkles creased together like crumpled ink.

"Dad, don't listen to her. Today is Lele's birthday party, she made such a scene out of nothing and ruined everyone's mood. Lele isn't happy either!"kind of woman you think I am! Show me some respect!"“You’ve been played by Chengnan, why are you still pretending to be so high and mighty If it wasn't for the fact that you're Luo Zhiqin, a wealthy h...
