Chapter 119
She had a soft voice and spoke appropriately, as if she was the young lady who had been trained in etiquette and posture since childhood.
Sheng Qianwei was stunned for a moment, and quickly threw away the absurd idea in her mind.
She clenched her hands and said, "Zhou Heng passed away. I was very sad and rushed here overnight."
As he spoke, he sobbed, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Two years ago, I went abroad alone to help you two. At that time, I had a big fight with Zhou Heng, which made our last meeting end in tragedy."
Sheng Qianwei took a tissue, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and tried to force a bitter smile: "After being abroad for so long, I have finally figured it out. I should have been more generous at the time, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten into this mess with Zhou Heng. It can't be resolved."
Putting the blame on herself was actually emphasizing that Luo Zhouheng and she were a couple, and Ning Ruchu was just an intruder.
Ning Ruchu didn't get angry after hearing this.
How could the friendship between childhood sweethearts be shaken by her, his nominal wife?
She also imitated Sheng Qianwei and started crying, with exactly the same tone.
"In fact, I was also surprised when Ah Heng proposed to marry me. I knew I was not worthy of him, and that Miss Sheng was a good match for him. But..."
The voice paused, Ning Ruochu coughed softly, tried hard to suppress the upturned corners of his mouth, and squeezed out two tears.
"But no matter how I tried to dissuade him, Ah Heng was unwilling to cancel the engagement. I know that Miss Sheng had a falling out with him because of this matter, and I felt very guilty about it, but I never had a chance to explain to Miss Sheng."
She stepped forward slightly and excitedly held Sheng Qianwei's hand.
"I didn't expect you to come here on your own initiative!"
A crack appeared on Sheng Qianwei's pretty face.
I didn't expect Ning Ruchu to be so eloquent.
She started from a weak position, and Ning Ruchu followed suit.
She said that the marriage was not voluntary, and Ning Ruochu emphasized that it was Luo Zhouheng who insisted on it.
With one move, Ning Ruchu took the initiative and gained the advantage.
It also makes Sheng Qianwei look like a clown.
But she didn't intend to give up and continued to add fuel to the fire: "It's a pity that Ah Heng is dead. There is no point in saying all this. Besides, all of this should have been yours."
Ning Ruochu looked around the villa.
Sheng Qianwei wanted to prove that Luo Zhouheng was in love with her, and Ning Ruchu helped her by using magic to defeat magic.
What's more, reality is always hurtful.
The smile on Sheng Qianwei's face froze, jealousy surged in her heart, and her eyes stared at Ning Ruchu.
These words completely hit her sore spot.
Three years ago, the Luo family's land reclamation and island building project was completed, and Mr. Luo gave the best Pearl Island to Luo Zhouheng as his private property.
It was during a visit to Mr. Luo that Sheng Qianwei happened to hear him mention that Mingzhu Island was to be used as Luo Zhouheng's wedding house.
When the villa was completed, she even sighed: "The scenery of Pearl Island is so beautiful, it must be very happy to live there. I really envy Zhou Heng and his wife."
Unexpectedly, Mr. Luo directly invited her to visit the completed villa.
Let her take the Luo Group’s yacht to enjoy the island scenery.
Sheng Qianwei thought that her marriage was imminent. When Mr. Luo's health was failing and he urged Luo Zhouheng to get married, she was certain that person would be her.
Unexpectedly, the person who moved in was a worthless country girl, who forced her to leave.
Ning Ruochu stared at Sheng Qianwei with her dark, round, bright almond eyes, and asked with concern: "Miss Sheng, are you okay? Why do you look so bad?"
"I..." Sheng Qianwei had just uttered a word when she suddenly felt something cold under her feet.
She looked down and saw a pitch-black object attached to her leg, slowly climbing up.
Sheng Qianwei focused her eyes and after recognizing what it was, her pupils shrank. She jumped onto the sofa without caring about her image and let out a deafening scream.
"what--!"
The housekeeper and the servants were all frightened, and Ning Ruchu immediately withdrew his hand in shock.
Sheng Qianwei pointed at her calf, "Scorpion... Scorpion!!"
She stomped on the sofa frantically, shaking her legs.
But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get rid of the scorpion.
Sheng Qianwei was frightened and frantically pointed at the servants who were watching, and said in a commanding tone: "Get it down for me now!!"
Some people wanted to step forward to help, but were stopped by Butler Chen.
"Everyone, don't act rashly. That scorpion is poisonous. I'll contact a specialist to deal with it right away!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Sheng Qianwei's tears fell like pearls from a broken string.
Fear gripped her heart like an icy poisonous snake, making it impossible for her to breathe.
He actually calmed down, standing there stiffly, not daring to move at all.
Instead, it gave the scorpion a chance, and its stinger pierced into the skin and came out in an instant.
Sheng Qianwei only felt a momentary sting, and the nerves in her calves gradually became numb.
Before Butler Chen's call could be made, the door of the villa was opened again, and a team with tight security came in at the right time.
Seeing the black object on Sheng Qianwei's leg, they hurried over and surrounded Ning Ruchu.
"Don't be afraid, ma'am. We will handle it as soon as possible!"
Sheng Qianwei felt like she had found a savior. The tears that she had been holding back due to fear began to flow again. She collapsed and yelled, "Get it away from me quickly!!"
Ning Ruochu seemed to be frightened by Sheng Qianwei's reaction. She trembled and curled up in a corner of the sofa, pointing at the scorpion with a black body and an exceptionally thick tail with a worried look.
"That was given to me by Ah Heng. You must not hurt it!"
"Then what should I do?!" Sheng Qianwei was gradually losing her mind and yelled at the special personnel: "What are you still standing there for? Kill her quickly!!"
Luo Zhouheng's people personally instructed that since the Madam was in poor health, the food must be made small so that it would be easier for her to eat.
The master was not confident in handing this task over to anyone else, so he asked Ran Yunqing to do it.
In the past two years, she has added chrysanthemum, which is used to soothe the liver, to the medicinal tea she drinks every day.
"Luo Zhouheng appears to be cold towards you on the surface, but he is very considerate to you inwardly."
The decoration style of this villa is more in line with Ning Ruchu's preferences.
Ran Yunqing was shocked, "He is so good to you, but you are wasting his money."
Ning Ruochu didn't respond, and asked her instead: "Did you really cure Sheng Qianwei?"
When mentioning her, Ran Yunqing felt a little happy.
"Of course not. I left some scorpion venom in her body and sealed it with a silver needle. Her leg cannot be seen by anyone."
Ran Yunqing became happier as she spoke, "I was so kind as to let her bring her own weather forecast. Whenever there is a big temperature difference or a season change, she will feel unbearable pain and itchiness."
After Ning Ruochu heard this, her eyebrows slightly raised, and a faint light flashed in her eyes, like a stream passing through the night sky, bright and beautiful.
"She didn't provoke you, why did you treat her like this?"
She said in a scolding tone, and Ran Yunqing got goose bumps all over his body. He asked back, "Where did the scorpion venom in Sheng Qianwei's body come from?"
Ning Ruochu smiled without saying anything, her smooth fingertips tapped lightly on the keyboard, playing the cartoon.
Hearing the voice, Ran Yunqing leaned over to take a look with a look of contempt.
Still so childish! Ten minutes later, Ran Yunqing, who had been concentrating on watching that episode of the cartoon on the computer screen, suddenly came back to his senses.
Why is she following suit?!
He suppressed the surprise on his face and asked Ning Ruochu seriously, "Luo Zhouheng is dead, do you still want to keep the poison in your body?"
The soul in the cotton doll was startled.
poison?
Could it be that her illness was all caused by her?
Luo Zhouheng didn't believe that the direct disciple of Lingxin Hall would be such a delicate and pitiful person.
But why?
Hasn't he protected her well enough in the past two years?
Ning Ruochu tilted her head with a lazy posture, and every word she spoke was filled with a charming tone.
"Didn't you say that very well?"
Luo Zhouheng is dead, but his influence still exists.
Ran Yunqing was puzzled: "I am your personal physician now. You don't need to keep the poison in your body. Just act in front of outsiders as usual. After all, you are quite good at acting."
Luo Group, President's Office.
After hearing that the board meeting was over, Luo Gaohan and Luo Rongxian hurried over and asked what went on in the meeting and whether Ning Ruchu left as before.
Uncle Luo maintained his kindness throughout the whole process, but now that there were no outsiders around, he let out his frustration.
He slammed his fist on the table and said angrily: "Director Qi is really old and confused. He actually stands on Ning Ruchu's side!"
After hearing this, Luo Gaohan and Luo Rongxian frowned.
They knew Director Qi's power of speech and deterrence. After the old man passed away, they showed their affection to him several times in an attempt to win his support, but they were unsuccessful.
And now, he actually chose Ning Ruchu? !
It's really unbelievable.
"After grandpa passed away, Director Qi became the core figure of the entire consortium. How could he support Ning Ruchu at such a critical juncture?" Luo Rongxian was puzzled.
"He has always been an old stubborn man." Uncle Luo snorted coldly.
"I thought that the effort and attention that Director Qi put into the Luo Group would outweigh his conservative mentality." Luo Gaohan sighed.
The older generation always has an extraordinary obsession with the word "orthodoxy".
As Ning Ruochu was Luo Zhouheng's designated successor, he would naturally support him, just like he supported Luo Zhouheng at that time.
"What should we do now? Director Qi is highly respected, Ning Ruchu has Ling Chuan's support, and they have been having close contacts with the Dong family recently. The advantages we have worked so hard to gain will soon change." Luo Rongxian was a little anxious.
The last attempt to alienate the relationship between Ning Ruochu and the Dong family not only failed, but instead made them move further.
Even if the Dong family has not given in, it is still a big threat.
The Luo family's master gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Luo Zhouheng is really capable."
Even though the person was dead, it still affected the situation of the Luo family.
If it weren't for his advance deployment, Ning Ruchu would have been swallowed up by this complicated world of fame and fortune.
"Since we can't block her way, let's start with her!" Uncle Luo's eyes were sinister and filled with a heavy murderous aura.
……
As one of the major hotel chain brands in China, Wucong is a place where wealthy people gather.
Therefore, Ning Ruchu was not surprised at all to meet the Ning family here.
Ning Xiangchen followed a man in a suit and tie as he walked out the door with laughter, and happened to bump into her.
The atmosphere at the scene was awkward for a while.
The smile on Ning Xiangchen's face suddenly froze, and he was even afraid to look at Ning Ruchu.
The last time public opinion was controlled by the Luo family, the Ning family suffered a great blow.
Many people changed their cooperation midway and lost a big order.
A lot of partners have been lost, and only the Wu family is left with a large scale, so he would come to negotiate urgently.
"It is a great honor for my restaurant to have Mrs. Luo visiting." Chairman Wu stepped forward politely.
Ning Ruochu smiled and responded: "I heard that Wucong has delicious food, beautiful environment, and thoughtful service. I have wanted to come and try it for a long time."
"It's our honor that Mrs. Luo likes it. It's a pity that I have other business to discuss and cannot accompany Mrs. Luo." Chairman Wu said tactfully.
Ning Ruchu nodded, and when he looked up he deliberately glanced at Ning Xiangchen, then looked away fearfully.
It was a tiny movement, but anyone present who was either a meticulous boss or a sharp-eyed senior employee could see it more or less.
Ning Xiangchen felt a vague gaze and felt a little embarrassed.
But he is Ning Ruchu's father, how could he bow his head and admit his mistake to her?
Thinking of this, he felt a little tougher.
Even when Ning Ruchu passed by him and went upstairs, Ning Xiangchen didn't even give her a glance.
……
Ning Ruchu found the meal boring and planned to go back after staying for half an hour.
Inside the car, Jiang Wanyu leaned over and handed her the iPad.
"Ma'am, Moses has found some interesting information about the Wu family."
Ning Ruchu lowered her eyes and looked at the information on the screen. A hint of smile appeared in her calm eyes.
Jiang Wanyu spoke at the right time: "Do you need us to intervene?"
Ning Ruochu's lips curled up, unlike the gentle smile of the past, this smile was as nasty as a naughty cat, with a bit of nonchalance.
"Don't go too far." She twisted her slender fingers around her curly hair, and said with sarcasm, "After all, the Ning family is my home."
Jiang Wanyu guessed her plan and nodded: "I understand."
……
There was a traffic jam on the way here, so Jiang Wanyu had to choose a more remote road to ensure normal driving.
Ning Ruchu tilted his head and looked at the vehicle behind him in the rearview mirror.
The two cars were driving one in front of the other, deliberately keeping a distance from each other.
Her voice was cold and there was no emotion in it.
"Get rid of them."
Payne Rogers glanced in the rearview mirror, instantly understanding the situation and becoming filled with passion.
"no problem!"
He stepped on the accelerator and sped through the crisscrossing roads.
The person behind realized that he had been exposed, so he stopped pretending and stepped on the accelerator to follow.
The road suggested by Jiang Wanyu has many alleys and lanes, which makes it easy to hide yourself, but it may also lead to a dead end.
Payne Rogers was unfamiliar with the terrain and was driving too fast. Jiang Wanyu had no time to dissuade him and he soon ended up in a dead end.
The two cars followed closely and caught up with them, blocking them in the alley.
Payne Rogers looked up and saw from the rearview mirror that people behind him got out of the car, holding either sharp fruit knives or half-meter-long iron rods in their hands.
He immediately cursed: "Fuck! What do you want to do to me?"
He angrily unbuckled his seat belt and tried to get out of the car, but Jiang Wanyu pulled him back and quickly tied him to the seat with the seat belt.
"Stay here and don't move?"
After saying that, he resolutely got out of the car and faced the group of ferocious-looking men behind him.
