Holding the big boss doll, the soft beauty is going crazy

Chapter 54: Madam An invites you to come over, the ugly daughter-in-law also wants to see her grandmother
"If there is nothing else, I will go back first. My friends are still waiting for me."

Ran Yunqing was already worried just by hearing that she was coming to the gallery, and must have been terrified to leave her alone.

This is indeed the case.

Ran Yunqing saw Ning Ruchu from afar and trotted over.

I was afraid that the noise would cause dissatisfaction among others, and I was even more afraid of damaging my red-soled high-heeled shoes, so I tiptoed carefully.

"You're finally back." She held Ning Ruochu's arm. "Just now, three Chinese painting masters, two famous calligraphers, and two people whose identities I don't know asked me what I thought of the painting. What else could I think except that it was beautiful?"

Ran Yunqing was a little embarrassed, "The only Chinese painting I've ever seen is the one you gave me. I know nothing about these!"

Ning Ruochu pondered for a while and said, "Keep the painting safe. You can sell it when you are short of money."

"I'm not that poor." Ran Yunqing waved his hand and refused. "Besides, it was given to me by you. How can I sell it?"

Ning Ruochu smiled and led her inside.

"Let's go inside and have some snacks."

"There are snacks?" Ran Yunqing was surprised.

The original furniture in the side room on the side of the main house was removed, and tables were scattered all over the room, with small and exquisite pastries displayed on gold-plated cloisonné enamel plates.

The force in her arm suddenly increased. Ning Ruchu looked over and saw Ran Yunqing hunched over, hiding behind her, his calves still trembling.

"Are you sure I can eat this?"

Even if Ran Yunqing didn't know the value of things, he could still recognize a table made of small-leaf red sandalwood.

Ning Ruochu rolled her eyes, "Can you please have some backbone?"

Bringing Ran Yunqing to a high-end place is just like Granny Liu visiting the Grand View Garden - seeing nothing is strange.

Fortunately, she hasn't made any fool of herself so far.

Ran Yunqing: "A poor bastard like me feels like I'm infringing on those luxury goods just by looking at them."

Ning Ruochu glanced at her and said, "The rich ones only have the table decorations, and the snacks are placed here for people to eat for free."

"You have a point." Ran Yunqing's voice trembled slightly, "But in such a luxurious environment, I dare not breathe."

Ning Ruochu: “…”

"Let's go." Ran Yunqing turned around and was about to leave.

Her brain hit something hard, and she felt dizzy. She was wearing six-centimeter high heels, and she lost her balance and fell on the table.

She wanted to stand up, but the tablecloth was made of smooth silk and she fell again due to uneven force.

The tablecloth slipped off, the sound of objects breaking was heard, and sharp fragments scattered, cutting Ran Yunqing's skin.

A table full of snacks, all of which fell on him.

Ning Ruochu stepped back quickly, looked down at her embarrassed appearance, and held his forehead in his hand in silence.

This time it was really like Granny Liu visiting the Grand View Garden - she made a fool of herself.

"Miss, are you okay?" A gentle male voice came to my ear.

Ning Ruochu turned around and saw a man in a Zhongshan suit and a wolf-tail hairstyle leaning down, stretching out his arm, and letting Ran Yunqing help him stand up.

She was not used to wearing high heels, her feet slipped and she almost fell into the pile of ceramic fragments.

Ran Yunqing didn't dare to look, thinking that she was going to die. Suddenly, a force appeared under her waist, pulling her forward, and she fell into a warm embrace unexpectedly.

She was stunned.

She looked up in panic and bewilderment, and a face as gentle as jade suddenly came into her sight.

He faced the light, like an angel descending from the sky, saving her from danger.

Being saved by a handsome and wealthy young master was such a clichéd idol plot that Ran Yunqing had complained about many times, but now he just felt his heart pounding.

After helping her stand steadily, the man let go of her hand and took a step back very measuredly, saying apologetically: "I'm sorry, the situation was critical just now, and I had no choice."

Ran Yunqing shyly tucked her hair around her temples and lowered her head in embarrassment.

"It's okay. I should thank you."

Her voice was soft and subtle, and not very clear.

Fortunately, there were not many people in the hall and it was not noisy, so I could barely hear what she said, and not many people noticed her miserable appearance.

Ran Yunqing clasped her hands in front of her, feeling a little shy, like a young girl.

The man smiled slightly and turned to the servant behind him: "Summarize the compensation items and send them to this lady."

The idol drama filter was broken at this moment, and Ran Yunqing's expression was stiff and he was stunned for two seconds.

She looked over in disbelief and wanted to ask something, but the man ignored her and walked towards Ning Ruchu.

"Mrs. Luo, I'm An Junxi, a direct descendant of the younger generation of the An family." He introduced himself, "Grandmother wants to talk to you alone, I wonder if it's okay."

"There's more to it than that." Luo Zhouheng's voice suddenly sounded in my mind.

He added: "An Junxi is the most outstanding son of this generation and the designated successor of Madam An."

After listening, Ning Ruochu raised her eyebrows slightly, looking at the man in front of her with some surprise.

The outside world doesn’t know much about the An family, but one thing is certain - the selection of the An family’s successor is very strict.

Unlike ordinary wealthy families, they inherit the family property and run the business to continue on.

Once you become the head of the An family, you not only have to take on the responsibility of hundreds of years of foundation, but also have to find a way to survive for the huge family.

The An family does not have many businesses outside the family, and the family branches are numerous and complex. Without the support of the Luo family, it would have been difficult for them to survive.

The continuous reproduction of descendants led to an increase in branches, and the meager industry could not support such a large family, which inevitably led to an economic crisis.

Today's gallery is a signal.

The An family has a rich collection, but it is never exhibited to the public.

And at three o'clock in the afternoon, there will be an auction.

Despite this situation, he was chosen as the successor by the current head of the family. The person in front of him must be extraordinary.

Ning Ruochu smiled: "Grandma wants to see me, so of course I will go."

Even an ugly bride has to meet her grandmother, let alone her.

"Please follow me." An Junxi walked in front to lead the way.

Ning Ruchu moved to catch up, but someone grabbed her hand.

Meeting Ran Yunqing's pitiful eyes, she patted him gently to comfort him, indicating that she would be fine.

Ran Yunqing then let go of his hand.

Walk through the corridor all the way south and there is a hall.

An Junxi brought Ning Ruchu in and could smell the fresh and fragrant aroma from afar.

The four screens made the spacious room seem a little crowded, but they divided the room into two areas: the inner and outer halls.

The patterns on the screen form a long and winding landscape painting, lifelike.

Standing in front of it, it feels like you have been brought into that artistic conception.

Ning Ruochu followed An Junxi around.

Inside, a woman with white hair was sitting. Her hair was neatly combed and tied back into a bun, which was fixed with a long hairpin inlaid with silver and gold beads, with double dragons and kingfisher feathers, and decorated with a gemstone tourmaline hairpin.

On her ears are gold rings inlaid with oriental pearls. They look simple but are actually very expensive and were considered the best by emperors of the last era.

She wore a blue-green robe with a stand-up collar and slanting lapel, a horse-faced skirt, and a huge kingfisher-inlaid sapphire pendant on her chest.

At this moment, he has his eyes closed, twisting the coral eighteen-bead bracelet in his hand, meditating.

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 looked up to see Ning Ruchu standing 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."

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

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

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."

She 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."

Ning Ruochu was stunned and looked up in surprise.

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

The eldest uncle of the Luo family is ambitious, the third uncle of the Luo family is incompetent, 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.

After all, in Luo Zhouheng's power branch, the Luo family is just a small branch.

What she just said really overturned 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.

The case went to court several times and the other party admitted that he ran a red light because he was in a hurry.

Madam An said, "I have carefully checked the accounts of the perpetrator's family and found that a huge amount of money was transferred from multiple overseas accounts to their names. It is impossible for the Luo family not to find out with their ability. There must be some hidden story."

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 Ruchu was very surprised and made a frightened expression.

"You mean that the death of Ah Heng's parents is 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.

After his death, he focused on training Luo Zhouheng and protected him carefully, allowing him to successfully ascend to a high position, but he still ended up in a miserable way.

Thinking hard!
What made people even more frightened was Luo Zhouheng's reply: "I also learned about this from my grandmother."

In other words, there is someone within the Luo family who has blocked the flow of information and cut off the source of information.

It is hard to imagine how powerful that person is to be able to deceive the most powerful business empire in China!
Ning Ruochu felt a rare sense of panic in his heart, but at the same time, he was very excited.

She doesn't care about business matters, she just sees it as a source of income.

Now that she knew the internal situation of the Luo family was so complicated, she became a little excited.

But on the surface he pretended to be very uneasy.

Old Madam An had also heard of the reputation of her granddaughter-in-law. She was well-behaved and gentle, and only with the protection of Luo Zhouheng could she have a place in the capital.

These things should not have been told to her, but she was now the one in power and she had to know.

Old Madam An doesn't think highly of Ning Ruchu, but she trusts Luo Zhouheng.

He knew the potential threat from the Luo family best, so he would never easily hand over the group to a useless person without any talent or practical ability.
"You don't have to worry too much. Zhou Heng has always been far-sighted. Since he wrote a will long ago to let you inherit the family property, he must have taken precautions."

Madam An said slowly, "I am not saying this to comfort you, I just want to tell you that no matter whether Zhou Heng is alive or not, he is your greatest support."

Ning Ruochu lowered her eyelashes and tightened her grip on the cotton doll.

In China, she was abandoned by her parents and had nothing. It was Luo Zhouheng who gave her a way out.

Although Madam An didn't understand her, what she said was not wrong.

She nodded slightly, the loneliness and fear still in her heart, her voice was timid but also a little tender: "I understand."

"When you are depressed, take a closer look at the things Zhou Heng left for you." Madam An reminded, "He must have left something behind."

Ning Ruochu responded in a muffled voice, but his thoughts went to the cotton doll.

"Your grandmother knows you well," she teased.

It was not easy to grasp Luo Zhouheng's whereabouts, but Ning Ruchu did it.

However, no records of any contact with the An family were ever found.

Luo Zhouheng said calmly: "Not long after grandpa passed away, she found me and left her cell phone number."

Mrs. An also said the same thing to him when she gave him the number.
