Chapter 87
The helmsman passed away and the managers were replaced. The Luo family has endured too many changes in recent times. If the cooperation between Ning Ruchu and Jiang family is affected, the board of directors will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble.
At that time, it would only make Ning Ruchu's difficult situation even more dangerous.
Zhou Yun sneered: "I didn't expect Miss Sheng to care so much about our Luo's situation."
Sheng Qianwei's lips curved even more sharply, "After all, this is Zhou Heng's hard work. I have been friends with him for so many years, so I should take care of him."
"Miss Sheng is thoughtful. In this situation, she can still pay attention to Luo's family. I wonder how Mr. would react if he knew."
Zhou Yun didn't point it out directly, but her sharp eyes were directed at Sheng Qianwei.
Sure enough, the latter's expression collapsed, and the panic in his eyes magnified infinitely like ripples.
This reaction is really obvious.
Sheng Qianwei blinked, trying her best to suppress the strange emotion.
It seemed to be a psychological reason. The pain and itchiness in her calves became even more unbearable, making it difficult for her to endure wearing high heels.
In recent days, I have been taking medicine according to the prescription of the Luo family doctor, and the pain in the wound has been relieved a lot, and I can hardly feel it.
But for some reason, the wound is so itchy and painful today.
She had gritted her teeth and endured until now, but was knocked down by Zhou Yun's light words.
The double blow of psychological and physical suffering made Sheng Qianwei mentally distracted and close to collapse.
Her every move was seen by Ning Ruchu.
The latter raised an eyebrow in curiosity, but he had to continue saving face.
"Miss Sheng, you don't look right, are you okay?"
Looking up and meeting her gaze, Sheng Qianwei's eyes flashed with a sinister look.
But she still had to force a smile and responded gently: "It's nothing, I just feel a little uncomfortable. I need to go and have a rest. Madam Luo, please do as you please."
Her voice became colder and colder. She could no longer maintain her disguise in front of Ning Ruchu and fled in a hurry.
Xie Cixing, who was observing from the dark, glanced coldly at her departing back. Although he couldn't hear the voice clearly, he still felt a little strange in his heart.
Although he is not a businessman, the rise of the Sheng family is clear to everyone who knows some inside information.
Xie Cixing took a deep breath, feeling a little unhappy.
"Little Peach." He called softly.
Jian Taoyue, who was lingering over the meal, raised her head, her cheeks puffed up, just like a hamster looking for food.
A pair of eyes, with clear and innocent pupils, blinked gently.
"You called me?" she asked vaguely.
"Don't just eat, find some fun for yourself, so that you can enjoy the food more wholeheartedly." Xie Cixing taught, pointing at Sheng Qianwei who had walked a distance away, "By the way, you can do me a favor, killing two birds with one stone."
Jian Taoyue thought what he said made sense, so she looked over and said in confusion: "That woman is pretty, why are you targeting her?"
Xie Cixing's voice was gentle but low.
"Because I'm very unhappy."
Jian Taoyue glanced at him sideways, confused and too lazy to find out.
As a subordinate, just follow the boss's orders.
She fumbled on the table and found a small spoon.
Sheng Qianwei was wearing a white one-shoulder fishtail skirt and had some difficulty walking. In order to maintain her posture and also because of the pain in her calf, she walked very slowly.
Jian Taoyue found the right angle, and the delicate little spoon popped out from her fingertips and flew more than a meter away.
Sheng Qianwei only felt that her feet were empty and her body fell forward.
Out of instinct, he reached out to grab something to support himself, but instead knocked over the tray of the waiter who was approaching.
The wine spilled and spread all over Sheng Qianwei's haute couture dress.
If this happens several times, it might have an impact on her psychology.
He needs to take some countermeasures.
As soon as I walked out of the door, I turned around and saw Yeyue leaning against the door.
Ling Chuan frowned and was about to blame, but suddenly remembered that she was now Ning Ruchu's personal bodyguard, and the door of Ning Ruchu's room was indeed where she should be.
He suppressed his impatience, closed the door, and spoke to her directly: "Since Madam trusts you so much, please be loyal and responsible. This is also what Master expects."
Ye Yue looked disdainful and turned away: "I know my limits."
Ling Chuan was filled with anger, but he couldn't do anything to her, so he could only give up and leave.
Inside the house, Ning Ruchu looked at the cotton doll that was placed in the dining room facing her, and a feeling of helplessness arose in her heart.
Even with so many loyal subordinates escorting him, uncertainties still exist.
Luo is his surname and the Luo family are his relatives.
But after his grandparents and parents passed away, he became lonely and had to bear everything on his own.
The Luo family, on the contrary, became the closest threat to him.
Therefore, after planning to marry Ning Ruchu, he began to prepare everything.
But this accident was too sudden, even he was not prepared, let alone others?
Especially the Shadow Pavilion, his most loyal force.
……
Security measures have been unprecedentedly strengthened. If any visitor from outside wants to come in, Ye Yue must personally inform Ning Ruchu and obtain her consent.
When Yeyue came over, Ning Ruchu was fiddling with the eco-box in the room.
Her bedroom is very large. In addition to the usual facilities, there are several reptile breeding boxes that occupy an entire wall.
The creatures raised there are all terrifying creatures such as snakes and scorpions.
Ning Ruochu held a pair of tweezers in his hand, and the breeding box in front of him was opened. A snake as thick as two fingers was slowly wriggling. The blue-brown back had a metallic luster, and the snake scales reflected bright pearl-like light such as steel blue, bright green, blood red, and purple copper, which was very gorgeous!
The pink and lively baby rat was clamped by tweezers. In front of these animals that ordinary people were afraid of, Ning Ruchu looked strangely calm.
It reached its arm into the feeding box and passed the baby mouse to the snake's mouth. The snake bit the mouse and wrapped its body around it, then slowly enjoyed it.
Ye Yue's eyes flashed, and she said, "Sheng Qianwei is here."
Two hours later, the meeting ended.
Ling Chuan rushed over without stopping, knocked on the door and entered. Seeing that Ning Ruchu looked back to normal, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned sideways and asked Ran Yunqing who was standing beside him: "What is the condition of Madam's health?"
Ran Yunqing rolled his eyes silently in his heart.
Haven’t we found a lot of doctors to treat Ning Ruchu in the past two years?
Why are you asking me?
"Ma'am, she..."
Ran Yunqing's voice suddenly stopped.
Ling Chuan was instantly anxious: "What happened to Madam? Is she suffering from an incurable disease?!"
Ning Ruochu: “…”
Ran Yunqing: “…”
I am not afraid of Western medicine smiling, but I am afraid of Chinese medicine looking down on people.
She had only hurriedly stuffed two pieces of pastry into her mouth before Ling Chuan came in, and before she had even swallowed them, she had already made him so excited.
"It's not that serious." Ran Yunqing explained, "Madam is weak and frail. It has been a long-term condition and it is difficult to treat."
Seeing that Ling Chuan was about to have another attack, she hurriedly said, "But as a disciple of the head of Lingxin Hall, I have my own way of dealing with this. Madam has insisted on taking medicinal food in the past few years, and her qi and blood have recovered a little, but if she wants to truly recover, I need to use acupuncture, moxibustion, medicine and other treatments to be effective."
Ling Chuan was relieved: "Thank you, Doctor Ran."
He held out his hand, gesturing "please".
"My wife and I have something to discuss. Doctor Ran, please step aside."
The head of Lingxin Hall is a leading figure in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, and his disciples are naturally respected.
Staring at the office door closing, Ling Chuan turned around, leaned down beside Ning Ruochu, and lowered his voice: "Madam, Madam Ye said a few days ago that she wanted to see you, but I saw that you were not in a good state and had been through so many things, so I declined."
Ye is not a rare surname.
But based on her current identity and the respectful tone in Ling Chuan's voice when he mentioned the old lady, Ning Ruochu could roughly guess who it was. He raised his eyes, with a look of surprise.
"Ah Heng, does he have a good relationship with that old lady Ye?"
Lingchuan is not in a position to reveal too much.
The more you know, the more dangerous the situation becomes.
Ning Ruchu saw that he was silent and didn't ask any more questions.
He just made a silent note in his heart that he would investigate the relationship between Luo Zhouheng and the Ye family.
"The newly hired driver for you is already on standby downstairs." Ling Chuan straightened up.
Ning Ruochu was puzzled: "Why do you want to hire a new one? What about the previous driver?"
Ling Chuan smiled slightly: "Three of them were injured, two won the lottery and resigned, and one returned home to retire."
Ning Ruochu: ...These six guys are really cool.
"This is a very normal situation. Your new driver is an honorably retired member of the Yashengde Royal Navy." Ling Chuan's lips curled slightly, "Accidents are inevitable, and he can protect you better."
Ning Ruchu had known about no less than ten car accidents in the two years since she got married.
On two occasions, she suffered greatly from it, and it was no wonder that the driver refused to do it.
It is not easy for Luo Zhouheng to live till now.
Ling Chuan still has to deal with company affairs, so Ye Yue and Ning Ruo Chu go with him.
In a private parking lot, the elevator door opened and a muscular man suddenly came into view.
He was over 1.80 meters tall, wearing simple black clothes and black pants, and his skin was a healthy bronze color.
Thin clothes cannot hide his powerful and explosive muscles.
The man obviously recognized Yeyue. He nodded slightly at her and turned sideways to lead the two of them towards the car.
Yeyue's indifferent voice seemed even colder in the empty parking lot, as if snow had suddenly fallen.
"He doesn't understand Chinese."
Ning Ruochu looked up and asked, "Then how do I communicate with him?"
"His duties are to escort and protect. There is no need to communicate with him." Ye Yue paused, "If you have any instructions, let me convey them."
Ning Ruochu smiled and said, "Thank you."
He lowered his eyes, and his gentle and calm pupils quickly sank, as deep and mysterious as an ancient pond.
It is protection, but also surveillance.
This driver does not belong to any force under Luo Zhouheng's name.
They didn't want her to associate with other people.
Ning family.
Ning Tinglian came back and was in a very bad mood.
Whenever Madam Ning came forward and spoke in a gentle and caring tone, she would be startled.
She frowned and immediately asked someone to call a psychologist.
The waiting process is always difficult. When the doctor came out, Mrs. Ning hurried to greet him.
"Doctor Li, what happened to Xiaolian?"
Doctor Li answered in a professional tone, "She must have been under some kind of great stimulus, which not only caused her anxiety attack, but also caused her to have a serious tendency. She looked haggard, and she didn't sleep well last night. I gave her a sleeping pill and let her get some sleep first."
Madam Ning listened carefully, her brows unconsciously knitted.
He looked at the psychiatrist and gave a decent smile.
"Thank you, Dr. Li."
She turned around and said to the housekeeper: "Housekeeper, please help me see Doctor Li off."
"Yes, ma'am." The housekeeper made a "please" gesture towards Dr. Li.
Madam Ning walked into Ning Tinglian's bedroom.
The person on the bed looked a little pale, with severe bruises under his eyes.
Madam Ning frowned, not understanding.
I went to Pearl Island, why am I like this when I came back?
Her first reaction was that Ning Ruchu did it.
But she was just a good-for-nothing vase who could only cry. How could she have the courage to attack Xiaolian?
Madam Ning was very impatient.
But the terrain of Pearl Island is special and outsiders cannot enter at all, so she has no way of knowing the situation inside.
……
It was not until the afternoon that Ning Tinglian woke up.
The servant guarding her immediately went to call Madam Ning.
She came in hurriedly and held Ning Tinglian's hand.
"Xiao Lian, I've asked the housekeeper to contact a psychiatrist, and he'll be here soon."
Ning Tinglian felt groggy and distracted, staring blankly at the ceiling.
Mrs. Ning felt distressed and quickly sent someone to urge him.
About ten minutes later, Dr. Li came over.
He stopped Madam Ning who was about to leave and said, "If you stay, it may make the young lady feel more at ease."
Mrs. Ning nodded, sat down beside the bed, and put her arm around Ning Tinglian's shoulders again.
Doctor Li asked in a gentle voice: "Ms. Ning, are you frightened by something?"
Ning Tinglian's emotions suddenly got out of control and tears flowed uncontrollably.
Madam Ning helped her wipe it with loving care, her voice extremely gentle.
"Xiao Lian, what happened? Mom will take care of it for you."
As soon as these words came out, Ning Tinglian's aggrieved heart reached its peak.
"I, I was scared by the snake." She curled up and burrowed into Madam Ning's arms, terrified.
"Snake?" Madam Ning was puzzled. "How could there be such a dangerous thing on Pearl Island?"
"Yes...it's my sister's pet." Ning Tinglian sobbed.
Madam Ning's brows subconsciously knitted tightly, "She actually raised that kind of thing!"
They look so weak and fragile on weekdays that no one can touch them, but they keep snakes at home.
Mrs. Ning's feelings were very complicated.
Ning Ruchu is her biological daughter after all. Not only did she not inherit her parents' good genes, but she also has no sense of propriety and brings shame to the family.
Now, he has become so vulgar that he actually raises snakes and deliberately uses them to scare people!
If Madam Ning had known that she was so naughty, she would never have let her into the house!
Her hand gently stroked Ning Tinglian's hair, soothing her.
After knowing the cause, Dr. Li took measures quickly.
Ning Tinglian's emotions gradually stabilized.
Seeing her like this, Madam Ning was worried and she called the housekeeper.
"Cancel the dinner tonight."
The housekeeper nodded and was about to go down to do it when Ning Tinglian suddenly said, "Mom, there's no need to cancel it. I'm fine now."
"You're so scared, and you still say it's okay." Mrs. Ning scolded.
Ning Tinglian lowered her head, not daring to speak: "But, I took great pains to convince my sister to come over tonight. If we change the time, I'm afraid..."
She bit her lip and said nothing more.
Madam Ning sighed, gave a gentle smile, and gently stroked Ning Tinglian's head.
"Our Xiaolian is the most sensible one."
She turned her head and said in a slightly colder voice: "No need to cancel it, just hold it as usual."
