Chapter 49 Ning Family Dinner
How awkward...

Ning Ruochu was secretly dissatisfied.

The butler's face turned cold, and the little bit of goodwill that had finally arisen disappeared in an instant.

"I have recovered a little, all thanks to Mrs. Luo."

There was a bone-chilling coldness in his voice, and he emphasized the second half of the sentence, with the anger and dissatisfaction in his tone not concealed at all.

Ning Ruochu blinked and turned her head. Her eyes were misty and her lips were parted, as if she wanted to say something.

"I……"

The housekeeper ignored her and opened the door of the villa.

What she was about to say was blown away by the lively atmosphere inside, and Ning Ruchu heard the sound of piano.

She walked in and found that the huge living room had been divided into a separate room with a glass window, where a piano was placed, and it was turned into Ning Tinglian's piano room.

I still remember when I first came here, there was nothing here.

There is a dedicated piano room upstairs, which is warmly decorated.

Ning Ruchu took a look from afar. The main color was light pink, and elegant and bright lotus flowers decorated it.

The elements that would look old-fashioned and cheap if not handled with care are integrated very well, exuding a sense of luxury, which perfectly suits the image of a pampered young lady.

Not long after she came back, Ning Tinglian installed a new piano near the glass door leading to the backyard in the living room, on the grounds that the space was closed and she would feel depressed when practicing the piano.

There is only a glass door separating it from the outside world, and outside there is lush greenery and clusters of flowers, which is indeed good for her condition.

In order not to disturb her, her parents demolished a wall and installed a back door.

Whenever Ning Ruchu thought of this, he felt it was ironic.

Her parents will unconditionally meet Ning Tinglian's needs, and the longer she stays here, the smaller the space will become.

First it was the attic, and then he threatened to kick her out of the house.

At that time, the conflict had reached a point where it could not be reconciled, and Luo Zhouheng appeared.

By this calculation, he could be considered her benefactor.

Ning Ruochu's eyes flickered slightly, and the housekeeper next to her was still reminding: "Madam is accompanying Miss to practice the piano, and the chairman has not returned yet. Please go to the restaurant and wait first."

When their biological daughter came back for the first time after getting married, they ignored her.

No wonder Luo Zhouheng didn't allow her to come back.

It made her think that the man had a strong possessiveness.

A servant came over, looked up and carefully examined Ning Ruchu, then quickly lowered his head and gave her instructions.

"Mrs. Luo, please come here."

Walking inside, Ning Ruchu glanced at the mother and daughter in the glass house.

Mrs. Ning sat next to Ning Tinglian, looking at her daughter with a gentle smile, her face overflowing with pride and honor.

After just one glance, Ning Ruchu quickly looked away.

The soundproofing effect of the glass room is not very good. Ning Tinglian, who suffers from moderate anxiety and must keep quiet when practicing the piano, insists on practicing the piano there.

What you think is revealed without you saying it.

This made the servants who were preparing dinner afraid to speak loudly.

Ning Ruchu sat obediently at the bottom of the restaurant. The servant said to her, "Please wait a moment," and went back to work.

I heard that Ning Tinglian was alone in the dark living room in the middle of the night and was frightened to the point of insanity.

Ning Ruochu had nothing to do, so he checked the surveillance footage.

The treatment she is experiencing now seems familiar.

She didn't care at all and looked through her phone out of boredom, and found a small red dot on WeChat.

Not many people have her contact information.

Ning Ruochu clicked on it and saw a contact addition message with three words "Xie Cixing" written on it.

She raised an eyebrow, agreed to add him as a friend, and ignored him.

Two minutes later, the other party sent a message: [Sister-in-law, why don’t you leave me a contact number? ]

Ning Ruochu replied calmly: [It is not easy for Mr. Xie to find a woman's contact information, right? ]

【I have no interest in widows.】

Xie Cixing emphasized again and again.

[Whether it's a girl in a club or a rich lady, they will take the initiative to give me their contact information. You are the only woman I took the initiative to check. ]

Ning Ruochu added a sneering emoticon.

【It's an honor for me. 】

[It’s not easy to get your WeChat.] Xie Cixing complained, [Yeyue still refuses to give in, but I have a wide network of contacts.]

[Oh~ Mr. Xie is very charming, but it seems his skills are a little lacking. ]

After hearing this, Xie Cixing was stunned for two seconds before he understood what she meant.

Very surprised.

[You act like this in front of Luo Zhouheng as well? ]

Ning Ruochu: [No, he is impotent.]

Xie Cixing: [……]

Ning Ruochu raised the corners of his lips slightly, revealing a sly smile: [As his good brother, it seems that you know him better than I do. ]

Xie Cixing: [………]

Xie Cixing, who was always frivolous and fond of joking, felt provoked for the first time.

He tried to defend himself: "That's his problem, it has nothing to do with me."

Ning Ruochu asked, "Did I say anything?"

There was a long silence on the other side.

Xie Cixing was holding his breath, but he didn't know where to vent.

It happened that Jian Taoyue had just finished taking a shower and ran out wearing a suspender pajamas.

Xie Cixing was startled. This girl came to him and bent down to pour him a glass of water.

The scent of the fragrance permeated her nostrils, carrying with it her unique sweet body odor.

Xie Cixing pursed his lips tightly.

Jian Taoyue put the cup down, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of his expression of trying his best to endure, and asked: "What's wrong with you?"

Xie Cixing said stubbornly: "No."

Jian Taoyue frowned, obviously not believing it.

"Are you constipated? You have a toilet in your bedroom, why do you have to wait until I finish my shower?"

Xie Cixing was silent again.

A pair of large hands covered his eyes, slid down his face, and he forced a fairly friendly smile.

"Xiao Taozi, take a bath and go to bed quickly, dear~"

He urged Jian Taoyue in a tone like coaxing a child.

As if affected by these words, Jian Taoyue felt sleepy and yawned, but she was still worried about Xie Cixing.

"If you want to go to the bathroom, go ahead. I won't stop you."

Xie Cixing: “…”

He looked at Jian Taoyue's back as she returned to her room, and was in a trance for a moment.

After realizing what was happening, Xie Cixing lowered his head, pressed his fingers between his eyebrows, and reflected deeply.

His eyes returned to his phone, and he suddenly remembered why he wanted to find Ning Ruchu's contact information, so he sent another message.

[I have some information about Luo Zhouheng.]

Ning Ruchu, who had just played a cartoon, immediately changed the page.

【Two minutes of shame for your homosexuality?】

She advised: [You should face up to your sexual orientation. What is unacceptable about what you have done? ]

Xie Cixing's eyes widened, and his anger quickly rose. [What are you talking about?!]

He pretends to be a dandy boy, often goes to places of entertainment, but is slandered as a gay? !
While he couldn't accept it, Xie Cixing didn't understand it at all.

[Didn’t you say you were impotent?] Ning Ruchu asked back.

So, she guessed because of his joke...

Xie Cixing half-closed his eyes.

After figuring it out, his pupils suddenly dilated.

[Luo Zhouheng, could it be that he has never touched you? ]

Ning Ruochu: [You have a good relationship with him, don’t you know it best? ]

Xie Cixing:? ?
What does he know!

Luo Zhouheng refused to touch such a beautiful and delicate little person even when he was in front of him. Xie Cixing didn't understand and could not understand him at all!
[He was a good young wife, but he was forced to become a widow. I can't understand it at all. What's there to understand? ]

If we continue talking, we'll end up talking about her.

Ning Ruochu changed the subject: [What news do you have? ]

Xie Cixing saw through her thoughts and had no intention of talking to her about anything else.

Who knows what kind of dirty jokes this woman with a doll-like face and looks extremely pure will come up with in the next second.

[I asked someone to check Luo Zhouheng's flight, but couldn't find the departure point.]

[So, your discovery is just no discovery? ] Ning Ruochu rolled her eyes and went back to watching cartoons.

Xie Cixing has not finished typing: [There are not many places that will not be included on the map. I know some, but I can't guarantee that they are all. But according to the flight route, it should be an island in the center of the Pacific Ocean. ]

There's nothing new about this.

Ning Ruochu: [He himself has many islands in the Pacific Ocean. ]

Xie Cixing felt depressed when he was inexplicably shown off his wealth, and silently complained: Like husband, like wife!

[If you investigate, you will definitely know more than I do, if you are willing. ]

[There have been a lot of rumors online lately, Mrs. Luo...]

Naked temptation.

Ning Ruochu was not panicked either, [his men have been investigating. ]

Xie Cixing pressed: [What did you find out? ]

Ning Ruochu: [The black box was found, the wreckage of the plane was found, and the bodies were salvaged one after another, but Luo Zhouheng's body is still missing. ]

These things have been reported in the news a long time ago.

Xie Cixing: [So, Mrs. Luo kept saying that she wanted to thoroughly investigate the cause of her husband's death, but she did nothing about it? ]

Ning Ruochu corrected: [First, it was you who said that a thorough investigation was needed; second, there is indeed other information, but it is confidential.]

Xie Cixing laughed: [Mrs. Luo saying the word "confidential" to the young master of the Xie family is really embarrassing.]

The Xie family holds most of China's military secrets.

Although he has no real power and is unaware of some major secrets, his rank is there and he must know more than others.

[For this, Mr. Xie will have to ask my husband. His will clearly stated that "it must not be known to others". I am just expressing my respect for the dead.]

Seeing this message, Xie Cixing narrowed his eyes.

Luo Zhouheng was indeed a mysterious guy, and even he couldn't track his whereabouts.

Not only were there casualties, Xie Cixing checked all his flights.

The contacts with overseas countries seem to be too close.

I go abroad almost every month, and some of my landing places are not recorded.

After all, that guy was extremely rich and paid special attention to privacy. Xie Cixing had always thought that he had gone to a private island, and he took confidentiality measures in fear of some unpleasant rumors.

But now it seems that is not the case.

……

After waiting for more than half an hour, the piano sound finally stopped.

Ning Ruchu moved his ears slightly, listening to the noise outside.

It’s Ning Xiangchen who’s back.

She didn't move and just sat there until a family of three came in. Then she pretended to be panicked and put down her phone.

She clasped her hands together, looking nervously at the person who came with a helpless look.

Ning Ruochu hesitated for a long time before calling out, "Dad, Mom."

But somehow, it ignited Madam Ning's anger.

"Don't you know how to say hello to Xiaolian?"

Ning Ruochu's little face suddenly became dull. She turned her head stiffly, her eyes slow, looking at Ning Tinglian.

Regardless of age or status, Mrs. Ning's behavior is somewhat contrary to the norm.

Ning Ruchu has long been accustomed to such "special treatment".

With a smile on his face, he called out awkwardly, "Xiao Lian."

Even so, Madam Ning still rolled her eyes to the sky.

Ning Ruchu just stood there, his thin body looking so confused and helpless.

Ning Xiangchen didn't say anything, just glanced at her lightly and sat down in the main seat.

Madam Ning and Ning Tinglian took their seats, but Ning Ruchu still did not react.

It was Ning Xiangchen who told her to sit down before she returned to her seat stiffly.

Mrs. Ning has never had a good temper towards Ning Ruchu.

Last time at the funeral, he was able to control his temper because he saw so many people present and knew that family discord would not help the Ning family at all, but would instead lead to reprimands.

Now that I'm back in her territory, how can I bear it?
"Ning Ruochu, I admit that we are sorry for you, but you shouldn't take it out on Xiaolian!" Madam Ning's chest was heaving, and she was obviously very angry. "You knew that Xiaolian had symptoms of anxiety, so why did you scare her with a snake?!"

Ning Tinglian grabbed her clothes and nervously whispered in her ear: "Mom, please stop talking. I believe my sister didn't mean it."

"You didn't mean to do that?" Madam Ning was so angry that she laughed. "It's such a big villa, but a snake ran into your house. How could Luo Zhouheng's servants let the snake run around!"

"mom……"

Ning Tinglian wanted to persuade her, but was stopped by someone raising his hand.

"Xiao Lian, I know you have a kind heart, but you can't let others bully you!"

Ning Tinglian pursed her lips and lowered her voice.

She raised her eyes to see Ning Ruchu's reaction.

With his head lowered, it was hard to tell the emotions on his face, but the trembling of his body was extremely obvious.

"I don't believe that the servants around Luo Zhouheng don't know how to entertain guests. Ning Ruochu, you are married, why are you still so childish?"

"Xiao Lian just came to visit you. She was worried about you! How could you treat her like that? She's your sister!"

Ning Xiangchen listened quietly, looking surprised.

Ning Tinglian's matter, he heard about it from Mrs. Ning's phone call while he was at the company.

When he saw her and was affected by Madam Ning's agitated emotions, he, who had no feelings for Ning Ruchu, now felt extremely disgusted with her.

"Ning Ruochu, I didn't bring you home to make you angry with your sister!"

He called her name directly, his voice serious and cold.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Madam Ning became even angrier.

"Ning Ruochu! If it weren't for us, how could you have such favorable conditions now? You were able to marry Luo Zhouheng because of the confidence given to you by the Ning family. I won't tell you what you did to damage your reputation in the past, but now, this is how you repay us?!"

Ning Ruchu finally made a move. Madam Ning thought she was going to cry and beg for forgiveness like before, so she turned her head away. Before she could make any sound, feelings of disgust and resentment surged up in her.

But she said, "Repay? How? Tie you to a tree like a monkey, and then ask all the major media to report on it, so that the whole country can laugh at you?"

 I testify that I, Mr. Luo, am not impotent!!!
  Ning Ruochu: Do you know?
  Me: That’s the husband I carefully selected for you, he must be perfect in every way!
  Ning Ruochu: How perfect.

  Me (coughs lightly to hide embarrassment) (incoherent): Well, you’ll find out if you explore it yourself.
