Chapter 2249: I Don’t Do Business That Makes a Loss
Looking at Lu Zijia’s dazzling smile, Shi Ningning could not help but want to scold her for being shameless.
However, just as the words reached her mouth, she could not continue.
It was because she did not have the courage to say those two words now.
Shi Ningning took a few deep breaths and tried her best to calm herself down.” Don’t you want to know why King Fan attacked Delin Country?”
Shi Ningning knew that it was useless to regret at this moment. She could only force herself to calm down and stall for time while trying to dig out another bargaining chip in her mind.
“Why?”
Lu Zijia still smiled nonchalantly and answered easily,” He just wants to sit in that position more easily. Unfortunately, he’s not destined to sit in that position in this lifetime.”
Of course, there was another possibility.
They were unwilling to be bound and suppressed by the current emperor, and secretly subdued small countries so that they would have enough power to rebel against the emperor in the future.
Hearing Lu Zijia’s answer, Shi Ningning’s heart, which had finally calmed down, was suddenly a little chaotic again.
At this moment, she finally realized how terrifying Lu Zijia was.
She was unusually intelligent, meticulous, and clear-minded. It was as if all schemes and plots were completely transparent in her eyes. Thinking about it carefully, it really made one shudder.
It was not too unfair for her to fall into Lu Zijia’s hands.
” I finally understand how you managed to reach this height in such a short time.”
Shi Ningning seemed to have figured something out, and her entire person underwent some subtle changes in an instant.
Looking at Shi Ningning’s face that said,’I finally understand,’ Lu Zijia felt baffled.
She didn’t seem to have said anything meaningful or done anything extraordinary, right?
So, what did Shi Ningning understand?
“Master Lu, back then, King Fan secretly joined forces with the Helian family to attack the Delin Country, causing the entire Delin Country to be in turmoil. He even almost harmed your relatives. Aren’t you angry?” Shi Ningning suddenly asked calmly.
Lu Zijia raised her eyebrows slightly and asked,” So?”
“So, I can help you.”
Shi Ningning’s gaze was sincere, and her words were sincere.” I can help you expose all the things that King Fan has done in secret. As a condition, I hope that you can remove the Shi family from the blacklist.”
Perhaps she had finally recognized the current situation, Shi Ningning’s attitude suddenly lowered a lot.
Lu Zijia shook her head and smiled.” I won’t do a losing business. Consort Fan, please!”
After saying that, Lu Zijia got up and walked into the house. It was obvious that she did not want to talk to Shi Ningning anymore.
Shi Ningning wanted to chase after him, but she was stopped by a guard who suddenly appeared.
“Consort Fan, please.”
The guard made an inviting gesture in the direction of the courtyard entrance, apparently wanting to forcefully send the guest off.
Shi Ningning ignored the guards. Seeing that Lu Zijia was about to enter the house, she hurriedly shouted,” King Fan has always been clean. Now, other than me, no one knows what King Fan has done in secret.
All I want is a word from you, Master Lu.
No matter how you calculate this business, you won’t lose out.”
“Wrong.”
Lu Zijia was about to step into the house when she turned around and looked at Shi Ningning.
Without the strong sunlight blocking her, Lu Zijia could see the two palm prints on Shi Ningning’s face, which were still slightly red. She could not help but be slightly surprised.
