Chapter 114

Jiang Lingxue sneered, "Mr. Luo just feels sorry for you. If your family hadn't forced you, how could you possibly be worthy of the title of Madam?"

Ning Ruochu's pupils shrank and he looked incredulous.

"I..." She stammered, not knowing what to say.

Jiang Lingxue became even more excited, and the words she spoke were particularly vicious.

"You are really disgusting. Even your biological parents abandoned you and formed a family with a daughter who has no blood relationship with you. Your life is really sad."

After saying that, he left with Sheng Qianwei.

Ning Ruochu's eyes were filled with tears and she looked a little broken.

Her pupils flickered slightly, and the mist gradually dissipated. She stared quietly at Jiang Lingxue and Sheng Qianwei who were walking away, not knowing what she was thinking.

"You are such a poor little thing."

A pretentious voice sounded behind him. Ning Ruchu turned around and saw Xie Cixing leaning against the wall.

He stood up, walked over leisurely, and said with pity: "Mrs. Luo's fate is really tragic. She finally got married and had a safe haven, but now her husband is dead."

I am deeply saddened to say thank you.

Ning Ruchu frowned slightly and looked at him with some impatience.

"Mr. Xie has good acting skills. Have you ever considered becoming an actor?"

"I have always been very talented, no matter what it is." Xie Cixing put away his heartbroken expression, "It's a pity that my family's reputation and responsibility tell me not to do that, which disappoints Madam Luo."

"But when it comes to acting, Mrs. Luo is truly amazing." He smiled, his inquiring eyes fixed on Ning Ruchu.

After a moment of contemplation, he crossed his arms over his chest, frowned, and said in confusion: "The person is gone, and his identity and status are all left to you. Why do you still pretend to be like this?"

In front of Luo Zhouheng, she created the persona of a little wife in order to seek protection and make him love her more.

This kind of method is commonplace in front of Xie Cixing.

He had only met Ning Ruochu a few times and was curious about what was so special about her that made Luo Zhouheng marry her, so he observed her carefully.

No matter how a person disguises himself on the outside, his inner consciousness and temperament cannot be changed.

As a young master of a warlord family, Xie Cixing grew up in a military atmosphere and was very sensitive to this aspect.

No matter how perfectly Ning Ruchu hid it, once a habit is formed, it is difficult to erase.

The way you walk, the way you hold certain objects...

Piecing together the scattered fragments, Xie Cixing had some guesses.

That time at Luo's house, Ning Ruchu's reaction in a desperate situation confirmed part of it.

After a long time without a response, Xie Cixing sighed and said, "Luo Zhouheng's life is quite magical. Even an ordinary wife he married is hard to understand."

In the cotton doll, the silent soul was reminded by these words, and couldn't help but think of Ning Ruchu's performance during this period.

At that time, he married her just to deal with his family. Time was tight and her identity and background were too complete, so Luo Zhouheng did not suspect anything.

After two years of marriage, they didn't communicate much. They just thought of it as one more person to support and didn't take the marriage seriously.

He monopolized Ning Ruchu's life, and compensated her by ensuring that she had a worry-free life.

But now, Luo Zhouheng discovered that Ning Ruchu did not need his protection.

After his death, Ning Ruchu's disguise showed flaws, but they were not obvious.

Now that he has inherited all the assets, instead of continuing to be a weak and incompetent canary, it is better to expose his true face to gain the trust of some people, make them believe that he can take on this position, and then gradually take over Luo's completely for himself.

But she didn't do that. Instead, she acted like a parasite who didn't care about other people's affairs.

During the time they spent together, Luo Zhouheng had witnessed Ning Ruchu's abilities, but he had never seen any ambition in her.

Do you really not care, or... do you disdain it?
Under normal circumstances, Luo Zhouheng would think that it was absurd for him to have such an idea.

But Ning Ruchu knew his full identity.

The Luo family alone was indeed not enough to satisfy her.

The cotton doll was held tightly in Ning Ruchu's arms. Luo Zhouheng could not see anything except the underwear.

I could only stare at a certain part of her body in a daze.

Ning Ruochu's silence made Xie Cixing a little impatient. He took a few steps forward, and the distance between them was so close that their bodies were almost touching.

Leaning over, he whispered softly in Ning Ruchu's ear: "There are only two of us here now, Madam Luo might as well be honest. It's only a matter of time, isn't it?"

Luo Zhouheng is dead, and there is no one to protect her. How long can her pretending to be weak last?

Ning Ruchu did not respond, but stared at him quietly with her bright almond eyes.

"Was it your idea to make Sheng Qianwei look bad?"

Ling Chuan stared at the computer screen on the desk, his eyes dim.

As the maternal family of the new head of the Luo Group, the Ning family has moral and blood ties, making it extremely difficult to deal with.

While Ning Ruochu became infamous, it also carried a message - the Ning family was dissatisfied with this daughter.

But now, she is in a high position.

The Ning family felt guilty towards her. If she had done anything excessive, public opinion would be tilted in one direction with just a little guidance.

Ling Chuan's eyes flickered, and he remembered something, and asked, "Also, Commander Ye, what information did you find out about the assassin who attacked Madam that night?"

"You should ask Shura Island about this."

After that, hang up the phone directly.

Ling Chuan took the phone and the call interface disappeared.

As the husband's security agency, the close protection personnel have the right to know any information that may be threatening to the client.

What's more, Yeyue is the commander and can basically access all the confidential information on Shura Island except for the top level.

With the interrogation methods used on Shura Island, it was impossible for her not to know, she just simply didn't want to tell him.

Ling Chuan originally thought it was a member of the Luo family, but now it seems that the other party's identity is greater than he thought.

The five slightly curled fingers clenched and gripped the phone.

……

Ning family.

The more Ning Tinglian thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.

Back at the restaurant, the atmosphere was still depressing and dull.

She said in a soft voice, tentatively: "Dad, my sister is gone."

Ning Xiangchen was still angry and very upset.

"She's gone, she's gone. I really regret accepting this daughter!" he said indignantly.

Ning Tinglian pursed her lips tightly, tightened her fingertips, and dug them into her palms, leaving shallow marks.

If she had heard this sentence two years ago, she might have felt happy.

But Ning Ruochu married Luo Zhouheng, whose family is the richest in China and occupies an absolute position in the business world.

Even Ning Tinglian had only seen Luo Zhouheng in magazines.

With their family's strength, it is impossible for them to have any contact with the Luo family.

In recent years, it is thanks to the reputation of Luo Zhouheng's father-in-law that the business has grown bigger and better.

Now, Ning Ruchu has inherited the Luo Group and his status is completely different.

Under normal circumstances, it would not be excessive for them to bow and scrape.

But it turned out like this... Ning Tinglian was very worried.

"Dad, my sister is now the head of Luo Corporation. Isn't it a bit too much for us to treat her like this?"

She said it politely, but it once again provoked Ning Xiangchen's anger.

"With such a status, she dares to stand over me. I am her biological father! She can't even respect me, but she even speaks ill of us!"

Ning Xiangchen gasped, suddenly realizing that she shouldn't have lost her temper in front of her little daughter.

Looking up, Ning Tinglian lowered her head slightly and remained silent. She must have been frightened.

He took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart.

"Your mother is not in good condition. Send her back to the bedroom first. I'll ask the doctor to come and take a look."

"Yeah." Ning Tinglian responded softly, holding Madam Ning's arm, "Mom, I'll help you back to your room."

When Mrs. Ning heard Ning Tinglian's voice, a light flashed in her eyes. She looked quite well-behaved when she was led away by her.

When she came out, Ning Tinglian saw Ning Xiangchen enter the study.

The hands hanging at his sides clenched again.

Although Ning Ruchu does not have real power, he definitely has a say.

After such a commotion, measures will definitely be taken against their family.

Even if she herself may bear moral condemnation, so what?
The Luo family far surpasses the Ning family in both reputation and prestige.

No matter what they do, they can't win.

After the farce was over, Ning Tinglian's brain calmed down and her thoughts became clear instantly.

In her impression, Ning Ruchu has always been a flattering character.

Her flattery is engraved in her bones and has become part of her body's memory and habit.

Therefore, Ning Tinglian was sure that she would follow their instructions and let the Ning family and the Luo family cooperate.

Unexpectedly, she would act out of character and quarrel with her parents.

Sharp words, calm attitude, and arrogant eyes.

Is that really Ning Ruchu?

Ning Tinglian found it incredible.

Thinking of Ning Ruchu's eyes before she left, she still feels scared.

She couldn't imagine that Ning Ruchu had done all this on purpose.

Ning Tinglian suddenly realized that she didn't understand this "sister" at all.

……

Pearl Villa.

When Mrs. Lin and a few servants brought the food into the bedroom, Ning Ruchu was lying on the bed with her face covered, sobbing slightly from time to time.

I want to cry, but I don’t dare to.

The servants felt sorry for her but didn't dare to say anything.

"Madam, the food has been placed in the small dining room. You are not in good health, so remember to eat and don't starve yourself."

Mrs. Lin looked at the figure on the bed with lingering eyes, sighed heavily, and closed the door.

There is a green ceramic tea set in front of him, and a cute golden pig tea pet next to it.

The sense of history of the last century hits you in the face, and all the decorations on your body are full of the atmosphere of the previous dynasty, and they are rare items that only royal families can own.

"Grandma, Mrs. Luo is here." An Junxi walked to the woman and called softly.

Old Madam An slowly opened her eyes and saw Ning Ruchu in front of her.

She smiled kindly and pointed to the seat in front of her.

"sit down."

Ning Ruchu sat down carefully.

If you get closer, you will find the delicate patterns on the tea set, which are hazy, as if they were fired in the misty rain of Jiangnan.

Madam An glanced sideways, "Junxi, I want to talk to Madam Luo alone, you go out and wait first."

Ning Ruochu raised his eyes and looked at her.

Every member of the An family she met called her "Mrs. Luo", even Mrs. An, the elder.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Madam An looked over with a worried look in her eyes, and her concerned and sighing voice slowly rang out: "You have suffered a lot these days."

Ning Ruchu was already familiar with this topic.

She just choked slightly and tears filled her eyes.

"Ah Heng thinks so highly of me, so it's only right that I suffer a little and get tired a little."

She looks like a virtuous wife who is grateful for her husband's efforts and is willing to spend her whole life to make up for it.

In the cotton doll, Luo Zhouheng's empty eyeballs slightly raised, and he complained in his heart: This woman is pretending again.

Her pitiful appearance can attract people's sympathy, and the same is true for Mrs. An.

She pulled Ning Ruchu's hand, patted it gently, and comforted her silently.

"If you need anything or have any questions, feel free to come to An's house to find me or give me a phone call."

Mrs. An took out her cell phone, fiddled with it for a while, and showed Ning Ruchu her phone number.

As a person in charge of the family, she knows how difficult this road is.

Ning Ruochu memorized it silently.

Madam An took back her phone and said, "I don't know much about the situation of the Luo family, but the two families are relatives after all, so I still know some of the internal affairs."

"What I'm going to tell you next is just a piece of advice. Don't talk nonsense outside."

Madam An paused and said earnestly: "On the surface, your uncles are led by the eldest uncle of the Luo family, but the other two are not simple. You must be careful."

After marrying Luo Zhouheng, Ning Ruchu's investigation focused entirely on his identity, and she really didn't know much about the Luo family.

In his power branch, the Luo family is just a small branch.

As far as she knows, the eldest uncle of the Luo family is ambitious, the third uncle of the Luo family is not very capable, and the fourth uncle of the Luo family does not participate in family struggles.

As for the latter two, under the authority of the eldest uncle of the Luo family, Ning Ruchu also focused on him.

What she just said did subvert her perception.

"Fifteen years ago, Zhou Heng's parents passed away. Although the Luo family blocked the news immediately, as his grandmother, Mr. Luo gave me the power to investigate. Although various things show that the accident was an accident, and even the Luo family admitted it, I still found some clues from it."

Luo Zhouheng's parents died in a car accident, which occurred when they collided with a large truck at an intersection.

During the several court cases, the other party admitted that they ran a red light because they were in a hurry. However, Mrs. An said, "I carefully checked the accounts of the perpetrator's family and found that a huge amount of money was transferred to their names through multiple overseas accounts. It is impossible for the Luo family not to find out. There must be something hidden."

Her voice gradually became heavier, and she spoke each word with certainty as if she wanted to imprint each word into Ning Ruchu's heart.

Ning Ruochu looked terrified, "You mean that the death of Ah Heng's parents was related to his uncles."

While questioning, you are also questioning the soul in the cotton doll.

Madam An nodded heavily. "Although I don't want to admit it, it is true."

She held Ning Ruochu's hand again and warned: "The internal disputes of the Luo family are far more terrible than you and I can imagine. If you can't control it, let go in time. Many people have died in Zhou Heng's lineage."

When Luo Zhouheng's parents were still alive, Old Man Luo was very optimistic about them.
