Chapter 73

The interior of the car is quiet and peaceful.

Zhou Yun couldn't believe what had just happened in the banquet hall, and immediately called Ling Chuan to report it.

While waiting for the call to be connected, Zhou Yun glanced at Ning Ruochu and said, "Madam, what you just said is really unexpected."

Normally, in order to gain cooperation, everyone will try their best to show their best side and prove that they are capable of doing the job.

However, Ning Ruochu acted contrary to his usual behavior and responded frankly that he could not do these things, which had an unexpected effect.

The Ning family had done something wrong to her before, and now they have done something so excessive. With a little guidance, public opinion will be in favor of one side.

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, there was no way she didn't know.

Ling Chuan curled his five fingers slightly and clenched them, holding the phone, his dark eyes were dim and unclear.

He originally thought it was a member of the Luo family, but now it seems that his status is higher than he imagined.

……

In the bedroom, Ran Yunqing held a cotton swab in his hand and helped Ning Ruchu treat the wound.

Ran Yunqing knew what had caused the injury at a glance by the numerous cuts.

An outsider would also feel distressed.

She raised her eyes and looked at Ning Ruchu's expression. He still looked as if he didn't care about anything and was watching the cartoon quietly.

He felt unexpectedly depressed, but he didn't dare show it in front of Ning Ruchu.

After applying the hydrogen peroxide, Ran Yunqing calmed down and asked, "Do you want to put on a bandage?"

Ning Ruchu finally moved, slowly turned his head, and looked at the tiny wound on his hand.

Looking up, a pair of almond-shaped eyes stared at her quietly, with a clear meaning——

is it necessary?

Ran Yunqing explained: "The people in the villa treat you like a treasure, so shouldn't I be more careful?"

After putting away the medicine box, she sighed: "Luo Zhouheng is quite good to you."

"Yes." Ning Ruochu stroked the cotton doll's head and looked at him quietly, "He is really good to me."

Inside, the silent soul shook slightly.

As Ning Ruchu's fingertips gently scratched it, the soul was also pulled in.

It itches, as if feathers are falling lightly.

Ran Yunqing stood up and turned to say goodbye to Ning Ruchu, and saw her stroking the cotton doll, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a peaceful smile.

She had never seen such an expression before.

Look down and focus on the cotton doll.

"Are you taking this baby too seriously?" Ran Yunqing was puzzled.

Ning Ruochu said calmly: "My psychologist said that I need it."

"But don't you have a lot?" Thinking of her original explanation, Ran Yunqing couldn't help but condemn, "Luo Zhouheng is very good to you. Isn't it a bit too much for you to curse him?"

People are dead.

Ning Ruochu shook his head.

The only time was to remind her.

Madam An lowered her head in melancholy. "Zhou Heng has always had a weak relationship with our family. I guess it was influenced by his mother."

"If she hadn't married into the Luo family, she would have been the next head of the family. It's just a pity that she ended up being an ill-fated beauty." She sighed, feeling heartbroken.

Ning Ruochu was stunned. She didn't expect Luo Zhouheng's mother to be so powerful.

Outsiders know very little about the An family, and unless they have contact with the family members, they have no way of knowing who the heir is.

The Luo family means a lot to the An family. If a child can marry into the Luo family, the An family will definitely support him with all their strength, even if it is an heir.

Mrs. Luo has passed the selection, but due to her conflicting identity, she cannot inherit the family, so she has to choose another one.

The selection of the next head of the family has just begun. It seems that Madam An intends to choose the successor from the younger generation.

After all, training an heir takes an enormous amount of time and energy, and the current head of the family will definitely have someone he favors based on daily performance and talent.

Or, focus on training based on the closeness of relationship.

I just don’t know which category An Junxi belongs to.

Ning Ruochu was in deep thought.

"After Yun Miao passed away, some of her old things were still left here." Madam An took out a carved mahogany box from under the table. "She took most of her things with her when she married into the Luo family, but she kept this."

Yunmiao is the name of Luo Zhouheng's mother.

The fairy of Mount Gaoshan, with her high clearness and misty clouds, does not learn from the foolish cow and the silly girl.

It has a lofty meaning.

The original intention of Mrs. An in giving her this name was to enable her to have lofty ambitions, and she did it.

She carefully opened the wooden box, and inside was a seal made of a whole piece of white jade.

"Yun Miao is not only proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also has business talent that is unmatched in the entire An family." Old Madam An was very proud, "Not only did he open up a track for traditional cosmetics, but he also secured three jade mines for the An family."

Old things are difficult to pass on.

Someone in the An family once thought about making a living by selling ancient jewelry, but there were too few craftsmen to carry out mass production. Even if the prices were high, it would not be able to support the entire family.

Cosmetics, on the contrary, were quickly sold out because of the gimmick of being tribute from the empress of a feudal dynasty.

Coupled with An Yunmiao's own strict control over quality, the products are in short supply, and An's own brand has been derived.

If Luo's support allowed the declining An family to regain its glory, then An Yunmiao's move was to bring the An family, which was already on the decline, to a new peak.

Madam An carefully pushed the mahogany box in front of Ning Ruochu. "This was made from the best jade from the three jade mines. I wanted it to be passed down from Yun Miao as a symbol of the head of the family, but she abandoned it in the An family."

"I didn't expect my mother to be so amazing." Ning Ruchu said admiringly, but at the same time she was puzzled, "But why would she abandon such an important thing?"

The An family has been passed down for hundreds of years, and although their thinking is somewhat conservative, they will not easily decide on the symbol of the head of the family.

An Yunmiao has made great contributions, which is why he deserves this honor.

How could she abandon such an honor that was passed down and praised by future generations?
Ning Ruchu raised her head, her beautiful eyes filled with doubts.

"She was indeed abandoned." Madam An nodded solemnly. "Yun Miao is a very kind-hearted girl and has always been proud of her family. The night she ran for the official heir, I said something that hit her hard."

"Zhou Heng has no close relationship with the An family, and he must have been influenced by her."

Ning Ruochu's pupils flickered slightly, and he lowered his eyes to look at the seal, deep in thought.

Can some attacks make An Yunmiao stay away from the An family?
She doesn't think so.

Ning Ruochu wanted to ask Luo Zhouheng, but four words came out of the cotton doll: "It has nothing to do with you."

She curled her lips and communicated with her spiritual sense: "Husband, you are so cold."

Even from the words spoken unconsciously, one could hear her coquettish tone, with a hint of tsundereness.

Luo Zhouheng remained silent and did not respond to this, which instead aroused Ning Ruchu's curiosity.

Overseas, China has always had a very mysterious image.

Although he had always paid attention to this place, after returning, Ning Ruochu realized that he knew very little about it. And Anjia was a field that ordinary people could not enter.

Even for her, after investigating for so long, what she knew was the same as what the outside world knew.

"This is Yun Miao's personal property, you can take it." Old Madam An stared at the white jade seal, as if watching it leave.

Ning Ruochu pursed her lips and hesitated.

Mrs. An saw her hesitation and tactfully asked her to leave.

"I still have a lot of things to deal with. If you don't want to attend the auction later, go back first."

She paused, as if giving a warning or explaining: "Don't appear in public places without anyone to protect you in the future."

"I understand." Ning Ruochu lowered her eyes, gently closed the mahogany box, carefully put it in her arms and left.

At the door, An Junxi was still waiting.

Seeing her coming out, he gestured slightly: "Mrs. Luo, your friend is currently resting in the living room."

Ning Ruochu nodded and returned the greeting: "Thank you, Master An, for your reminder."

After saying that, he went back the same way he came.

An Junxi turned around, looked at her gradually blurry back, raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

As an heir favored by the current head of the family, he not only has a deep understanding of China's economic situation, but also has a certain knowledge of the layout and relationships of the wealthy families.

Everyone said that Ning Ruchu was very vulgar, but his behavior just now gave him the feeling that he had been cultivated since childhood.

It would be impossible to have it if you had not been in a wealthy family for a long time.

An Junxi half-closed his eyes.

"Junxi——"

An old but dignified voice came from inside.

An Junxi was distracted for a moment, walked in, and bowed, "Grandma."

Madam An glanced over and asked, "Did she ask anything when she left?"

"No, he just thanked me and left." An Junxi confessed honestly.

"Sometimes, I really don't know whether her simple-mindedness is a good thing or not." Old Madam An sighed.

There was smoke rising from the incense burner beside the table. As this was a temporary scene, the incense burner was a little close.

Madam An frowned, waved her hand lightly, fanned the cigarette, and said, "I gave Yun Miao's old things to her and told her some things."

An Junxi's pupils shrank, and he was shocked: "Grandma, you..."

Before he could finish his words, Mrs. An suddenly turned her head and gave him a warning look, and An Junxi shut up instantly.

"It's just a warning about the Luo family. However, I also revealed a little bit of Yun Miao's disgust for our family." She drooped her eyebrows and her expression gradually softened.

The smell of cigarette smoke in the air made her feel a little irritated.

Nap time.

Ning Ruochu was lying on the bed, and her brows unconsciously frowned when she thought about Yeyue's departure.

Yeyue was very alert and had already become suspicious of her.

If Ning Ruchu wanted to find out her whereabouts, she would only expose herself faster.

Her intuition told her that Yeyue must have discovered something when he suddenly left.

Ning Ruochu opened her mobile phone and saw that public opinion about her was still soaring online.

She didn't care about the discord between her and Luo Zhouheng.

Marriage was a hasty thing at that time, and few people would believe it was true.

There have been rumors online that she was planning to seize the family property.

Ordinary people cannot interfere in the affairs of wealthy families, and doing so will only damage her reputation and lead to condemnation.

What can really threaten her position is the opinions of the consortium's shareholders.

As long as the majority of shareholders support her, Ning Ruchu can continue to sit at the helm.

Otherwise, he will be driven out of office.

Ling Chuan took great pains to negotiate with Dong Zhaoyan for this very purpose.

Ning Ruochu thought about it and sent a message to Dong Qingran.

[Do you have time? Why don't we go out for dinner together? ]

The other party did not reply for a long time, so Ning Ruchu fell asleep.

I woke up an hour later and received a reply: [Okay, I'll treat you, you recommend a place.]

……

At six o'clock in the afternoon, a black luxury car slowly stopped outside a three-star restaurant in the center of Beijing.

Morrison Ward immediately said, "The situation in Amelia is too chaotic, and the Hill family is also deeply involved. Claude and Vina will protect you inside."

He guessed that this was also the reason why Dong Qingran came to China with her mother.

"Your special operations team has ample funds." Ning Ruchu teased.

Morrison Ward said, "It's all about protecting the young lady."

Ning Ruochu chuckled and got out of the car.

Dong Qingran booked a private room, and the waiter at the door heard Ning Ruchu's name and took her over.

On the way, he was suddenly stopped by someone.

Ning Ruchu turned around and saw the "Evan couple" whom he had met before.

Or, should we call them Claude and Vina?

"The smoked salmon tastes too strong. My husband, as a true Afghan Free Federation man, doesn't like it."

Claude nodded at the waiter and glanced at Ning Ruchu behind her.

The waiter apologized sincerely, "I'm sorry, I'll ask the kitchen to make you another one right away."

……

In the box, Dong Qingran was already waiting.

There were footsteps at the door, and it was the waiter leading Ning Ruchu over.

Dong Qingran immediately stood up, stepped forward and grabbed her hand, and asked worriedly: "Sister Ning, are you okay?"

She didn't watch the news much. It was not until Davis Loffield said in the morning that something seemed to have happened to her new friend that Dong Qingran learned about the dispute between Ning Ruchu and the Ning family.

Ning Ruochu shook her head and said gently, "I'm fine."

This gentle and affectionate voice, like water, made Dong Qingran's heart soften, and she felt even more unwilling.

She was filled with anger, "The Ning family is really too much! They are your biological parents, how could they treat you like that?!"

Ning Ruochu patted her hands and his brows drooped.

"It's all in the past. I don't care anymore. After all, my life is already very good now. I don't dare to ask for anything more."

She gave a bitter smile, humble and helpless.

While feeling sorry for Ning Ruchu, Dong Qingran became even angrier.

She stood up for the injustice: "Those people in the Ning family are not worthy of you at all. You are ten thousand times better than them. They want to curry favor with you, but then drive you away. Who are they? Are they the puppet king who wants to depose the regent?"

"Oh, sorry, I said it wrong. The Ning family is of such high status that even the servants in the palace can order them to be killed!"

Ning Ruochu couldn't help but laugh out loud.
