Chapter 89

"Blame me." Ye Yue corrected, "As a personal bodyguard, I need to assess the degree of danger and all potential risks. Both Sheng Qianwei and Ning Tinglian are threats to you, and they shouldn't be here."

Ning Ruchu did not expect this turn of events.

"Protecting you is the last mission that Master gave me." Ye Yue paused, thinking for a while, and then continued: "I was like a dead person before, and it was Master who saved me. In order to repay his kindness, I swear to be loyal to him for the rest of my life."

"Therefore, I will do my best to protect your safety."

There was a gleam of determination in her eyes.

Yeyue took a step back, maintaining a sense of propriety.

Ning Ruochu was stunned, a little surprised by her sudden confession.

She is not a sensitive person, she just pretends to be like this to maintain her image.

Living in a world where everyone is acting, she feels helpless when faced with the expression of true emotions.

After being stunned for two seconds, he finally came back to his senses: "Ah Heng is lucky to have a subordinate like you."

Yeyue curled her lips, but there was no smile on her face.

Ning Ruchu was a little slow, her eyes flickered slightly, her thick black eyelashes drooped, and her voice was soft and weak.

"I didn't expect you to have such a tragic past."

From the tone of his voice, he seemed to be heartbroken, and also felt that her fate was unfair.

But if you look closely, you will find a lack of emotion.

Yeyue had already made up her mind.

She didn't stay any longer and wanted to go out.

As if remembering something, he suddenly turned around when closing the door and looked at Ning Ruochu: "I have asked someone to add dinner at the Ning's house to your schedule tonight."

Ye Yue stared at her closely, but she remained calm: "Thank you, Commander Ye."

When the door closed, Ning Ruchu's upturned eyes immediately drooped and she picked up the cotton doll beside the pillow.

She raised her eyebrows and said casually, "You are quite a difficult commander. You discovered something wrong with me so quickly."

Luo Zhouheng didn't think so: "You've revealed too many flaws."

He and Ning Ruchu see each other less than twice a month.

Looking back now, her disguise was perfect.

And now...

"Do you really want to inherit my estate?" he asked.

Ning Ruochu laughed happily: "Didn't you adopt him to me?"

That was because, at that time, she was just a well-behaved, weak, and naive little white flower, and she would not have any other thoughts about Luo Zhouheng's inheritance.

After all, Ning Ruchu never asked for money.

The servants took care of all the food, clothing and other expenses, and even if there was something they needed, they would be very cautious in their requests.

Humility is engraved into the bones.

Luo Zhouheng naturally would not doubt it.

Ning Ruochu grabbed the cotton doll, lay on the bed, and asked him to sit in front of her and look at her.

The slender and shiny fingertips tapped his head again and again, and the other hand supported the chin, looking at him leisurely.

"Are you so confident that you can leave everything you have to me?"

"I'm worried." Luo Zhouheng paused and added, "At least it was like that before."

Ning Ruochu chuckled softly, "Do you trust your subordinates so much that they won't rebel after you die?"

"So, I gave them a nominal leader." Luo Zhouheng's voice sank, "to prevent unrest in the world."

Of all the organizations under his name, except the Luo family, only Yingge has seen his true face.

Ning Ruochu nodded: "Indeed."

……

The room was empty.

Ye Yue answered the phone, "Investigate Madam again, I want to know her background."

The other side was silent for a moment, wondering: "Why did Commander Ye suddenly want to investigate Madam? But what happened?"

Yingge will investigate in advance all the people who have conversations with Luo Zhouheng, whether they are partners or... Ning Ruchu who is going to marry him.

Yeyue did not answer, but said: "We must investigate in detail, we can start with her adoptive parents."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Her eyes darkened.

She had read Ning Ruchu's file herself.

There is no doubt that she is the daughter of the Ning family, and she has sufficient information on admission, medical care, etc. in Nancheng.

It is done so carefully and meticulously that it is indeed difficult to arouse suspicion from ordinary people.

But now, she is gradually exposing...

Ye Yue’s eyes were deep, as if a snow had just fallen in a deep ancient pond, icy and cold.

She would not disobey Luo Zhouheng's orders.

But if Ning Ruchu has other ideas, then she must take tough measures.

She will protect Ning Ruchu and keep an eye on her.

……

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, "Miss 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.

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.

His hands were tangled together, he was very nervous, and looked 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, she was very angry, "You knew Xiaolian had psychological problems, 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?"

Yeyue said coldly: "I can't tell."

But whether Ning Ruchu would see it or not was not something she could control.

……

In the bedroom, Ning Ruochu leaned on the bed with her legs bent, using a tablet as a cushion, browsing Weibo.

Luo Zhouheng was in her arms, watching with her.

"Is it normal for parents to hate their children?" Ning Ruochu swiped the screen with her finger, her almond-shaped eyes were strangely calm, and her tone was extremely light.

Luo Zhouheng was silent.

After a long time without receiving a response, Ning Ruchu smiled self-deprecatingly.

"You're surprised too, aren't you?"

Luo Zhouheng's childhood was not good
His parents died when he was young, and he grew up with Grandpa Luo and became his most beloved grandson.

The uncles and aunts felt the crisis and suppressed him everywhere.

After he became an adult, he held important positions in the company and endured many suspicions and malicious frames.

Mr. Luo had no choice but to send him abroad, and he didn't come back until he was 24 years old.

At that time, my grandfather was already seriously ill, the Luo family was controlled by the eldest uncle of the Luo family, and the three branches were fighting each other.

Almost everyone believed that Mr. Luo was pushing Luo Zhouheng into the fire by letting him inherit the Luo family.

But he persisted, not only reconciling internal conflicts but also making the consortium prosper.

Of course, his achievements and strengths are not limited to this, otherwise he would not have become the person Ning Ruchu admires the most, especially after knowing his other powers.

There was a knock on the door, and a light flashed across Ning Ruochu's eyes. She quickly put the tablet under the pillow, curled up on the bed, and held the cotton doll tightly in her arms.

When Yeyue came in, she saw Ning Ruchu looking dejected.

Her eyes dimmed and she walked straight away.

Coming to the bed, he said in a neutral voice, "Madam, Secretary Ling just came over."

The person on the bed responded.

The hands that were propping up the body were shaking violently, and it took a lot of effort for him to turn over. There were water stains in the corners of his eyes, and his charming almond-shaped eyes were sparkling, broken and fragile.

She leaned weakly on the bed, her frail body looking like she could fall over at any moment.

Yeyue just watched without taking any action.

"No, Secretary Ling is just here to deliver an invitation." Yeyue stepped forward and placed the envelope on the bedside table. "It's from the An family. They want to invite you to attend the gallery."

Ning Ruochu pretended to sigh and asked her: "An family? How come I have never heard of it?"
