Without Lu Xining's consent, the Lu Family's bodyguard simply wouldn't let anyone go.
Ji Tingran glanced in Lu Xining's direction but didn't speak up here. She could beg her in private, but in public, she considered herself the Ji Family's young lady and couldn't stoop to asking a solitary girl for mercy.
Put plainly, she always felt she was high above the rest; all she had endured in the past was just Great Grandpa's trials for her as the Ji's sole young miss.
Ji Tingran looked to Ji Muye beseechingly and said urgently, "Brother, please save Mom."
The man's gaze was indifferent. Cradling Little Dumpling on the sofa, without a response, he made it clear with his actions that he was not on Ji Tingran's side.
His gaze fell on Lu Xining, but she didn't return his look.
Seeing this, Ji Tingran turned her gaze to Xiao Chao and Xiao Ze, "Xiao Chao, Xiao Ze, could you please plead with grandma for mercy?"
The two children obediently sat next to Ji Muye.
