Chapter 91
The sound of the shower in the bathroom lingered in Luo Zhouheng's mind.
He had never felt so anxious as he did now.
The dripping water seemed to fall into his heart, hitting him so hard that it shook his silent soul like drumbeats.
Luo Zhouheng, who had already lost his body, seemed to feel his heart beating at this moment...
The sound stopped, and Luo Zhouheng's tense nerves relaxed temporarily.
Ning Ruchu was wrapped in a bath towel, with water droplets on the ends of her hair. She was wiping her hair randomly with the towel in her hand.
She walked over and sat on the sofa, accidentally pressing on the cotton doll's legs.
Luo Zhouheng, who had a keen sense of touch, felt the delicate and fair skin, and his soul gradually turned red.
Ning Ruchu didn't care at all. She helped the cotton doll sit up, covered her head with a towel, turned on the computer and continued watching cartoons.
The water on her hair had not dried yet and it dripped onto her body and onto the cotton doll, which was a little icy.
A message popped up on the phone, it was from Ran Yunqing.
Ning Ruchu glanced at it casually.
【have you slept? 】
She typed a word briefly: [No.]
In less than half a minute, someone knocked on the door.
Ning Ruochu paused the video or film that was playing and went over to open the door.
Ran Yunqing was startled when he saw her attire, then he quickly came in, closed the door, and asked, "Why did you let Ning Tinglian stay?"
She didn't know Ning Tinglian, at most she had seen her photo in a magazine.
Because of her love for Ning Tinglian, she became extremely disgusted with her because of Ning Ruchu.
Normally, when hearing the three words "Ning Tinglian", I would make some sarcastic remarks for a while, but now Ning Ruchu just let her in and let her live in a large villa with nearly 100 square meters of bedrooms?
Ran Yunqing felt that he had suffered an unprecedented blow.
She was willing to endure the cold shoulder for the sake of her sisters, but her sisters welcomed the person they all regarded as an enemy?
Ran Yunqing said sternly: "You'd better give me a reasonable explanation."
Ning Ruochu looked at her and said, "She's right. We are a family after all. Isn't it normal for family members to take care of each other?"
"Sister, you can lie to me, but don't lie to yourself." Ran Yunqing couldn't believe her words. "I don't know what kind of grievances you suffered after returning to the Ning family, but I know the rumors outside."
Ning Ruochu smiled slightly, her eyes casual: "Are you saying that I am heartless or that I have accomplished nothing?"
When she said this, there was no negative emotion on her face, and her smile was even a little playful.
Sometimes Ran Yunqing really wanted to say that she was heartless.
She took a breath helplessly and looked up: "Then at least tell me what you want to do. You are not a charity."
Although, she donated a bunch of designer clothes to charity...
Thinking of this, Ran Yunqing felt heartbroken.
Ning Ruochu curved her watery almond-shaped eyes and glanced at the bedroom with a smile.
"You'll know."
She tilted her head, looking a little playful, like a cunning and cute little fox.
"I hope so. After all, I'm not as good at acting as you."
Trying to curry favor with people you hate?
Ran Yunqing felt that she would feel nauseous.
"Let me be frank with you. I won't treat her well. Now, I'm going to enjoy the Jacuzzi that comes standard in the bedroom of the villa!"
Speaking of this, Ran Yunqing's mood instantly brightened, and he even twisted his waist twice when he went out.
Ning Ruochu laughed and went back to watching cartoons.
The innocent voice kept ringing in his ears. Luo Zhouheng couldn't stand it and asked, "Why do you like watching this kind of thing?"
Ning Ruochu fiddled with her hair with her fingers and said nonchalantly, "Because I haven't seen it."
Luo Zhouheng was silent.
……
When I looked up, it was already two o'clock in the morning.
Ning Ruochu rubbed her eyebrows. Staring at the screen for a long time made her eyes sore.
He checked the time, got up, and opened a door in the room.
She looked at the things inside, smiled slightly, and said in English: "Hi, boy~"
……
Ning Tinglian lived in a suite on the second floor of the villa, with the same standard as the servants.
She herself thought it was an ordinary suite.
Looking around the room which was larger than her bedroom, Ning Tinglian felt a sigh of relief and increasingly unbalanced.
She clenched her hands, curling them slightly at her side, and snorted coldly: "She is really lucky."
She took a deep breath, not wanting to let the jealousy disturb her mood.
After a quick tidying up, I went to bed.
She is familiar with her bed, and when she suddenly finds herself in an unfamiliar environment, it takes her at least an hour to fall asleep.
In the past, whenever she went out, she would send someone to buy a set of bedding for her and buy essential oils that were extremely effective in helping her sleep.
In order to let her sleep well, Mrs. Ning even hired several psychologists.
Notify Ning Ruchu to attend the dinner, just one phone call will do.
But she was coming in person.
Let the outside world know that Ning Ruchu is the daughter of their Ning family and also her, Ning Tinglian's "good sister".
If you want to gain greater benefits, you have to build a good relationship with her.
Even if she had to endure the disgust in her heart, Ning Tinglian didn't mind.
But I didn’t expect that Ning Ruchu would go out even though she was sick.
Thinking of her frail appearance, Ning Tinglian's eyes became dim.
The original intention was to say a few polite words and then leave.
But it was so late, and her leaving would inevitably cause gossip.
Ning Tinglian suppressed her irritation and closed her eyes.
……
There was a constant rustling sound in the quilt.
Ning Tinglian couldn't sleep and tossed and turned.
She picked up her phone and looked at it. It was already past two o'clock.
Her head was filled with sleepiness, but she couldn't fall asleep no matter what, which made her very impatient.
I simply got up, supported myself on the bed with my arms, and went to turn on the night light beside the bed.
But his hand touched something slippery and a little cold.
Ning Tinglian was puzzled.
In the face of the unknown, fear spreads quickly.
She quickly found the switch, and when she saw the creature on the bedside table, she couldn't help screaming.
"what--!!"
Ning Tinglian got out of bed in a panic, but accidentally stepped on the quilt, was thrown down, and hit her head on the bed.
My head was dizzy and there was severe pain.
But she didn't care about anything and ran out the door desperately, shouting, "There's a snake!!"
The villa was well soundproofed, and only the servant on duty heard her screams and hurriedly called special personnel.
After something like this happened, Yeyue naturally couldn't sleep well.
She went in with the special personnel, and the snake disappeared somewhere unknown.
"Close the door and conduct a carpet search." Yeyue ordered in a deep voice.
It took a while to find the snake. It looked like a deep black color, but when it was slightly deflected, it reflected pearlescent light.
Yeyue was impressed by it.
"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.
He simply ignored it, put his hands in front of him, and looked up at An Junxi.
"The reaction is normal. But I'm old, and my perception of the outside world is gradually weakening. Did you notice anything unusual?"
An Junxi frankly expressed his doubts.
After hearing this, Mrs. An's expression gradually became serious.
An Junxi asked, "Luo Zhouheng is in danger. Even he can't guarantee that he can escape unscathed. Marrying a wife would only make someone else suffer for him. He certainly won't marry a useless canary. Perhaps they are intentionally hiding Ning Ruchu's identity so that at least one person can survive."
They didn't believe that Luo Zhouheng would easily hand over his inheritance to a canary.
Madam An did not respond with understanding. She held the coral bracelet with eighteen beads in her hand and slowly raised her head: "How do you know that Ning Ruchu is not a sacrifice?"
An Junxi suddenly realized: "You mean, Luo Zhouheng's death is just an illusion."
"The news about the plane crash is indeed true, but who can guarantee that Luo Zhouheng was really on that plane?"
The bodies of the crew members were salvaged one after another, but there was no trace of Luo Zhouheng's body and no relics were found.
Madam An stared, "But Ning Ruchu does need more attention. Apart from Luo Zhouheng's secretary, I'm afraid no one in the Luo family supports her. It's surprising that she can still live until now."
"Now that you put it that way, I feel like there's something really wrong with her." Old Madam An realized belatedly.
She straightened her sleeves and stood up: "Use Yun Miao's story to lure her in and make her reveal her true colors. But remember, the An family's secrets must not be known to others and must be kept firmly in the depths of your heart!"
The second half of the sentence is emphasized, which is a warning to An Junxi.
He lowered his head and said with an attitude of admitting his mistake: "I understand. Thank you for reminding me, Grandma."
Madam An snorted coldly and walked away.
On the spot, An Junxi breathed a sigh of relief.
My grandmother said he got too excited when she told others about my aunt.
I almost forgot - that is an unspeakable taboo.
……
After asking the staff, Ning Ruchu finally found the reception room.
Then he felt something was wrong, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"You mean the No. 1 college in China whose graduates all entered the top 50 schools in the world?!"
The butler smiled: "That's right."
Ran Yunqing took a deep breath, his heart was shocked beyond words.
I heard that it is a real aristocratic school, the campus is converted from ancient buildings, and the tuition fee is hundreds of thousands per year!
Things that seemed out of reach to her were commonplace to them.
Ran Yunqing once again intuitively felt the gap between himself and the rich.
At the same time, she hated that there were so many rich people in the world, why couldn't there be one more of her? !
There was a tinkling sound coming from the inner room, and a girl in martial arts uniform walked in. The servant just lowered his head and followed her carefully.
An Ling played with the two swords in his hands, made a beautiful sword flower, and fell into the iron box containing the weapons.
He looked over, raised his chin, and asked, "Is she the one sent by the Luo family?"
Different from the gentle and polite An family members that I met before, the tone and gesture of this third young lady were extremely casual.
She brushed the dust off her body, turned up her collar, and walked over in a free and easy manner.
"Let's go." An Ling glanced sideways and directed the servants, "Be careful when carrying my luggage. If you damage it, you won't be able to afford the compensation for your entire working life here!"
After saying this, he raised his head and walked forward, completely ignoring Ran Yunqing.
The housekeeper faced her and said apologetically, "I'm sorry. Miss San has been spoiled since she was a child and was a little rude. I brought her to apologize to you. I also hope that the Luo family can tolerate her more."
Ran Yunqing twitched the corner of his mouth.
She couldn't guarantee that.
If Ning Ruochu knew that the third young lady of the An family was like this, she probably would not agree.
Although it was impossible for her to refuse given her personality, she was also reluctant.
The luggage was checked into the car.
An Ling didn't have many clothes, but he had a lot of weapons, and they couldn't fit in all of them.
The housekeeper had already made the arrangements. "Miss Third, the Luo family will send a special helicopter to transport these things later. You should go there with this young lady and your personal belongings."
"Miss?" An Ling looked at Ran Yunqing for several seconds.
Today she didn’t wear the brand-name clothes Ning Ruchu gave her. The materials were ordinary and the workmanship was not exquisite.
She looked at the housekeeper with contempt and said, "Why do you call everyone Miss?"
The housekeeper blushed and whispered, "Miss San, watch your words!"
An Ling turned his head away with disdain.
People are difficult to deal with, and their personalities are difficult to deal with.
Ran Yunqing didn't know how she would live the rest of her life.
……
They drove to a private helipad, transferred to a helicopter, and finally landed on Pearl Island.
An Ling got off the plane and looked around: "The Luo family is really rich. The whole island is their villa territory."
While she was curious and watching, Ran Yunqing immediately went in and found Ning Ruchu.
When she heard the news and was about to go out to greet him, she looked up and ran into Ran Yunqing who came in hurriedly.
He forcibly dragged her into the room as she was about to go down the stairs.
She looked flustered and was about to speak, but Ning Ruchu spoke first: "How about the painting I gave you?"
Ran Yunqing was stunned for five seconds and exclaimed: "Why didn't you tell me that it was a painting by a Chinese painting master?!"
Ning Ruochu only answered by asking, "Did the An family pay you?"
The implication is that she already knew the specialness of this painting.
"They gave me a full million!" Ran Yunqing's eyes sparkled with surprise.
Ning Ruochu nodded silently, "I can cheat someone like you who doesn't know the value of things with such a high price, it seems that the value of my paintings is quite high."
Ran Yunqing's eyes froze for a moment, and he couldn't believe it: "That painting, was it you who drew it?!"
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.
Ning Ruchu had deliberately gone to Miss Hill to curry her favor because of her identity, but now he found that she was so interesting, which made him glad for his decision.
"Okay, it's all over, let's eat first."
The two of them sat down and Dong Qingran called the waiter to take their order.
While waiting, she scrolled through her phone, glanced at it twice, and then threw it aside in annoyance.
"My fiancé, he asked about my whereabouts again."
