Chapter 371: Open the Door!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

A cold glint flashed in her eyes, and her entire body was trembling. Her eyes were bloodshot, her hands clenched into fists by her sides.

Lu Qing could almost see the veins on her arms.

“Ningining…”

Lin Ci was frightened by her appearance and called out fearfully.

Seemingly hearing her voice, Lu Ning turned to look at her and her gaze softened a little.

“I have something on. I’ll get going first.”

Her voice was icy and emotionless.

With that, she turned around and left.

“Ning’ning…”

Lin Ci wanted to chase after her, but she did not dare to go immediately. She was afraid of provoking Lu Ning as she had no idea what was going on with her.

Lu Qing looked at her. “Don’t worry, I’ll go.”

With that, he chased after her.

Lin Ci watched the two of them disappear at the top of the stairs and seemed to realize something. She turned around and walked into the room. Looking at Lu Jingzhi, who was still sitting at the table, Lin Ci walked over.

She bent over to look at the computer screen.

The video on the screen was paused. Lu Jingzhi sat there quietly, not saying or doing anything.

He did not seem right either. Lin Ci tapped the keyboard and replayed the video.

It was footage from a surveillance camera.

Lin Ci looked at the video and finally understood why Lu Ning was behaving like this. She wanted to pull out a blade right now!

Lu Qing chased after her and watched as Lu Ning got into a black Maybach. The car drove away, and he could not catch up.

However, the car was very familiar. He knew Huo Jinyan’s car was like that.

Standing on the spot, Lu Qing pondered for two seconds before turning around to his own car. Then, he chased after her.

The atmosphere in the car was cool. Under Huo Jinyan’s instruction, Chu Ting had the air conditioning at full blast.

Lu Ning sat by the car, her entire body tense. Huo Jinyan looked at her thin body and the evening gown that exposed her shoulders and legs. He took off his jacket and draped it over her.

She did not seem to notice it. She was staring straight out of the car window, her arms in her lap, her hands clenched so tightly that her knuckles were white.

Huo Jinyan sat a little closer and silently reached out to put his hand on hers, wanting her to relax. However, she remained tense; her hand was cold, and she was trembling.

Then, Chu Ting spoke.

“Miss Lu, we’re here.”

Like an arrow released from a nocked bow, she opened the car door and darted out.

When she got out of the car, her coat slipped off and landed on the seat.

Huo Jinyan followed her out of the car with his coat.

The people from the Lù family were a little surprised to see her.

“Young Mistress?

Lu Ning did not reply and simply rushed in.

Realizing that the situation did not seem good, a few people followed behind her.

“Young Mistress! Why are you here? Why don’t we tell the Master that you’re here before you go in?

It was as if Lu Ning could not hear anyone, and no one dared to obstruct her. They retracted their outstretched arms.

Lu Ning quickly walked over. The door of the banquet hall was tightly shut, as if it meant to isolate her.

The people standing outside the banquet hall were startled.

“Who is this?”

One of them had just arrived and was not familiar with Lu Ning.

However, the other person knew her.

“Young Mistress! You, why are you here?”

As soon as he said this, the people following behind Lu Ning hurriedly gestured to him.

“Open the door!”

Lu Ning finally said something.

Her voice was even more piercing than the wind on a winter night.

“Young Mistress…”

Lu Ning suddenly looked over, a pair of red eyes glaring at him.

He did not dare to say anything else. He placed his hand on the doorknob and looked at the other person. “Open it.”

That person was a little confused, but followed his instructions and opened it together with hirn.

As the people in the banquet hall raised a toast, they felt a chilly wind blow past…
