Chapter 99: Fetching Grandma

Actually, he hadn’t really done anything, he had just rubbed against her and finally soiled her uncontrollably – a very perverted and obscene act.

This experience was really bad, the one and only in Lu Shaoming’s life. He hadn’t really cared much about love and desire. He had spent his first 30 years of energy on his career and did not have much time to flirt around. Besides, there were no women who could catch his eye; he was pretty aloof.

She caught his eye three years ago. She was not as petty and coquettish as those noble ladies. She was bright, intelligent, brave, and full of vitality.

When they crossed paths again, she was leading a very bad life, but she had a tenacious vitality, like a blade of grass waving in the wind – so stubborn, so pitiful.

For the first time ever, he wanted to bring a woman under his wing and grow old with her.

But today, she let him down.

Perhaps he was even more disappointed with himself; despite 30 years of rich life experience, he still had to put on a fake show with her in front of Xu Junxi. What foolish and childish behavior.

He thought, as he was 10 years older than her, it would be enough to accommodate her with grace and a broad mind, and wait for her slowly. However, he found that he could not. He became petty and felt that Xu Junxi’s existence was annoying.

Perhaps, he needed to calm down.

At this time, a girl’s hiss of pain could be heard from the bathroom

“What’s wrong? Where does it hurt?” Lu Shaoming was stiff and his hoarse voice was full of tension.

Ning Qing was sitting in a bathtub full of petals and milk foam. She had her arms around her chest as she twisted her eyebrows gently. Her chest felt extremely painful and her shoulders were very painful. He had bitten and broke her skin.

Was he a puppy?

He only knew how to bite.

“It’s all your fault!” Ning Qing muttered and pouted her lips upon hearing his voice.

Lu Shaoming lips curled up in a self-mocking smile and he said, “Yes, yes. All my fault. I won’t touch you in the future, okay?” After a pause, he said, “Ning Qing, just take a quick bath and get up. Don’t catch a cold. I have to go.”

Have to go?

Ning Qing pricked her ears up; Lu Shaoming had indeed left.

Ning Qing immediately felt annoyed. Her little hand hit the water in frustration, and the milk foam splashed all about.

This Lu Shaoming! She had allowed him to touch her and also rub against her, and now he just said “won’t touch you.” What exactly did he mean?

How annoying!

Hmph.

…

When Ning Qing got up the next morning, Lu Shaoming had already left.

She went downstairs to see that Zhu Rui was bringing Yue Wanqing into the villa. Ning Qing was elated upon seeing her mother, and she ran over and said, “Mom, why are you here?”

Yue Wanqing took her daughter’s small hand and laughed. “Qingqing, Shaoming called me last night and told me about Grandma. Shaoming said that you guys had brought Grandma over to live here and I should come to take care of her so that our family could reunite happily. I thought for a moment and felt that Shaoming was right. Secretary Zhu drove over to pick me up this morning, so here I am.”

Lu Shaoming had called her mother. Why didn’t she know?

“Yes, madam. The president has already contacted the authoritative brain specialist in Britain to treat Grandma. He should be arriving around noon. It will be easy to care for Grandma if she lives here, and the president knows that Madam had always wanted to be with her family. This is a good thing, killing two birds with one stone,” Zhu Rui said.

Lu Shaoming had left last night. Ning Qing felt depressed all night and had a lot of resentment in her heart.

But after listening to Zhu Rui, the resentment dissipated instantly, and sweetness bubbled up in her heart for no apparent reason.

Bringing Mom here, contacting the authoritative brain expert – he had quietly arranged everything for her. She needn’t worry about anything.

He had even taken her mood into consideration and fetched her grandmother and mother to accompany her to make her happy.

What kind of man was he?

She had thought about two possibilities when he had left last night. First, he might have been… dissatisfied with her body. Second, he had felt that she had not served him well.

There were many such men in this world. They would get bored and no longer cherish after they’ve got what they wanted.

She thought that he was like that. She had thought that he didn’t like her anymore.

But he was so good to her now. What on earth was he thinking?

…

Zhu Rui was driving, and Ning Qing and Yue Wanqing were talking in the back.

“Mom, what had happened three years ago? Why did they all say that you were the one who pushed Grandma down the stairs?”

Yue Wanqing looked lost and sad. “Qingqing, you must believe Mom! I wouldn’t push Grandma down the stairs. Actually, I don’t know what’s going on as well. Three years ago, at noon, I was standing at the stairway with Grandmother and we were talking. Grandma was fine at first, but then suddenly she had felt dizzy and fell down the stairs. I reached for Grandma, but I couldn’t manage to grab her.

“Grandma was sent to the hospital, unconscious. The domestic servant blamed me. She said that she saw me push Grandma down the stairs. Your father was furious and forced me to sign the divorce agreement.”

Ning Qing was puzzled. Why had Grandma suddenly felt dizzy?

Was she ill, or was it drug-induced?

If it had been plotted by Meiling, then not only did she need to drug grandmother’s food, but she also would have needed to collude with the servants. If this were true, it seems that Li Meiling had controlled the backyard of the Ning family for a long time.

“Mom, do you remember the servant that had testified against you?”

“It was Xiao Cui.”

Xiao Cui?

Ning Qing still had some impressions of Xiao Cui, who has been in the Ning family for more than 10 years. Xiao Cui had worked in the Ning household for a long time, but she didn’t see Xiao Cui when she went to the Ning family home yesterday.

Ning Qing could confirm that Xiao Cui had been directed by Li Meiling.

What should she do now? Ning Qing’s brain was running at full speed.

…

Upon reaching the Ning family home, Ning Zhenguo personally helped Grandma out the villa door. Only when Ning Qing took Grandma away could he go to Guang Qing to sign the contract, so Ning Zhenguo did not want to make any mistakes.

Zhu Rui opened the door and Ning Qing hooked Yue Wanqing’s arm as she stepped out of the car.

Ning Zhenguo hadn’t seen Yue Wanqing for three years, and he was shocked when he saw her.

Yue Wanqing was a perfect beauty when she was young. Although she had grown up in an orphanage, she had been well educated with the Ning family. Her gentle and virtuous personality, inner purity, and kindness did not allow the passing years to leave a trace on her face. She was tender and graceful.

To Ning Zhenguo, who was used to Li Meiling’s ways that were so sweet it felt greasy, Yue Wanqing was like a wisp of spring breeze. She was like a freshness overcoming him.

Yue Wanqing also noticed Ning Zhenguo. She was shocked and diverted her gaze.

Seeing that Ning Zhenguo was staring at her mother, Ning Qing stepped forward silently, blocking Ning Zhenguo’s peeping eyes. “Grandma, Mom and I have come to pick you up.”

“This is great, Qingqing! Grandma has been waiting for you for a long time.” Grandma immediately broke away from Ning Zhenguo and ran to Ning Qing.

Yue Wanqing’s eyes filled with hot tears the moment she saw Grandma. She held grandmother’s hand excitedly and cried out shakily, “Mom.”

“Mom? Who are you?” Grandma did not remember Yue Wanqing.

Li Meiling was standing behind Ning Zhenguo. Last night, after everything that had happened, Ning Zhenguo had warned her not to cause any more trouble. She didn’t dare to talk because she didn’t want to spill the beans on him.

But just now, Ning Zhenguo had been staring directly at Yue Wanqing. They were flirting with each other through their gazes. She could only grit her teeth with hate.

Men were all like this. Back then, Ning Zhenguo had disliked that Yue Wanqing was too ladylike and was not open enough in bed. So Ning Zhenguo was seduced when he had met her, and he liked to get entangled with her and play with all kinds of tricks with her in bed.

Now that he had played with her for too long and hadn’t touched that appetizer dish Yue Wanqing for three years. Ning Zhenguo wanted Yue Wanqing again.

Li Meiling was so filled with hatred, and when Grandma did not remember Yue Wanqing, she finally found the opportunity to open her mouth and quickly laughed, “Grandma, have you forgotten about elder sister? Have you forgotten how you fell down the stairs?”

When Grandma heard “fell down the stairs,” she shivered. She was scared and hid behind Ning Qing.

“Mom.” Yue Wanqing’s heart ached so much that the tears in her eyes kept falling.

“Auntie Li, if you don’t want us to pick up Grandma, you can tell us clearly and we can come back tomorrow, but the land development rights…” Ning Qing looked over at Ning Zhenguo.

Ning Zhenguo’s expression soured. He shouted at Li Meiling. “Enough. Talk less. If you ruin it for me, we’ll all have to sleep in the streets.”

After that, Ning Zhenguo looked at Yue Wanqing again. His face was tense, and he obviously could not forget the staircase incident three years ago. “Wanqing, I hope you can treat Grandma better when you bring her back this time. The old madam is innocent. Grandma has been turned into this state by you, you…”

“I didn’t!” Yue Wanqing interrupted Ning Zhenguo with a clear voice. Her face was covered with tears, but her eyes were open and firm. “Grandma was not pushed by me!”

“…” Ning Zhenguo was shocked, Yue Wanqing had always been as tender as water in front of him. This was the first time she had spoken to him so loudly in 30 years.

Yue Wanqing looked sideways at Grandma. She stepped forward and choked as she asked, “Mom, do you remember me? I am Wanqing, your favorite Xiao Nizi.”

Grandma only had a son, Ning Zhenguo, in her life and had no daughters, so when she brought Yue Wanqing back from the orphanage, she regarded Yue Wanqing as her own and had brought her up herself.

When Yue Wanqing was a child, she had a fever and headache. Grandma stayed up all night, holding Yue Wanqing. She called out “Xiao Nizi” with love.

“Xiao Nizi?” Grandma looked at Yue Wanqing with a blank look. Tears welled up in her old eyes. “Wanqing? My good daughter!”

“Yes, Mom, I’m Wanqing. I’m your daughter.” Yue Wanqing plunged into Grandma’s arms.

Since Grandma had fallen down the stairs three years ago, Ning Zhenguo has not let Yue Wanqing see Grandma. The mother and daughter pair had not seen each other for three years. Now that they were hugging and crying, the scene was touching.

Ning Zhenguo was stunned. He hadn’t realized that Grandma had such deep feelings for Yue Wanqing.

“Don’t cry, Mom. You take Grandma to the car first. I have a few things to say.” Ning Qing embraced her mother’s shoulder as she spoke.

“Alright.” Yue Wanqing loosened her arms around Grandma and took her to the car.

When the car door closed, Ning Qing looked at Li Meiling and said with a smile, “Auntie Li, I remember that there was a servant named Xiao Cui in our family. Where is she now?”

Li Meiling’s eyes flashed when she heard the name ‘Xiao Cui’, but she soon calmed down. “Qingqing, Xiao Cui left the Ning family three years ago. Her parents in the countryside had found her a husband. She is already over 30 years old and I suppose she must have already gotten married and had children. Qingqing, what do you want, asking about Xiao Cui?” Li Meiling asked.

“Oh,” Ning Qing replied as if she had understood something. She said with a laugh, “Didn’t Xiao Cui testify that my mother had pushed Grandma down the stairs three years ago? But as you have just seen, my mother and my grandmother’s relationship with each other is like mother and daughter. Too many people in this world have been blinded by misunderstanding and conspiracy, but family relationships will never change.

“My mother will never push my grandmother down the stairs, so I’m going to confront Xiao Cui on the spot. It doesn’t matter if Xiao Cui had left for the countryside. I’ll find her. Thank you, Auntie Li. Goodbye.”

Ning Qing didn’t even glance at Ning Zhenguo. She turned around and went to the car.

Zhu Rui started and car and sped away.

Ning Zhenguo looked at the car going away and felt a little bit anxious and sad. His wife and daughter who used to be so attached to him wouldn’t even spare him a glance now.

Even his mother had left.

When Li Meiling saw that Ning Zhenguo was still gazing at them, her eyes flashed with malice, but she smiled softly and coquettishly as she said, “Zhenguo, Grandma and elder sister are gone. Let’s go inside.”

She held Ning Zhenguo’s hand intimately.

Ning Zhenguo looked back at Li Meiling. It was a tender smile, but when Li Meiling smiled, there were deep lines around her eyes, as if she were pretending to be affectionate.

Yue Wanqing’s laughter was light and clear. Her clean eyes looked like rippling autumn lakes; they were full of tenderness and made people feel comfortable.

Disgust rose in Ning Zhenguo’s heart. He shook off Li Meiling’s hand again and said with displeasure, “In the future, spend less money on hyaluronic acids in the beauty shops. Look at Yue Wanqing, she hasn’t spent a single cent but still looks younger than you. And you are already 45 years old this year. Don’t wear such heavy makeup again. Look at how stiff and ugly your face is.”

Ning Zhenguo entered the villa.

Li Meiling’s so furious she almost couldn’t catch her breath. The makeup on her face was delicate, right? He used to say that he liked her slightly powdered look best, that she was a beautiful actress.

But now, after taking a look at Yue Wanqing, he belittled her like this?

Fine, Yue Wanqing, Ning Qing: Wait and see!

…

In the car, Zhu Rui looked at Ning Qing through the rearview mirror and said, “Madam, why did you tell Li Meiling about Xiao Cui just now? It’s very likely acting so rashly would alert the enemy.”

Ning Qing’s lips curved as she smiled calmly. “Precisely, I want to alert the enemy! The only clue we have of what had happened three years ago is Xiao Cui, but Li Meiling would have definitely hidden Xiao Cui very well. It would be hard for us to find out anything. Now that I’ve alerted the enemy, Li Meiling’s guilty conscience will surely push her to make a move. We just need to track Xiao Cui down by following clues, and we can wait for Li Meiling to reveal her flaws on her own initiative.”

Zhu Rui gave Ning Qing a look of true admiration. In his eyes, the madam was a very smart girl. She was a strategist and dared to go all out.

“Madam, the president has ordered that if you have anything, you can just tell me what to do. Would you like to send someone to monitor Li Meiling’s every move, including her telephone activity?”

Ning Qing’s eyes shone; she had that intention all along.

But she was too embarrassed to request it. Zhu Rui was Lu Shaoming’s subordinate, and she had a row with Lu Shaoming only yesterday.

Unexpectedly, Lu Shaoming had settled everything already.

“Yes, let’s send someone to watch Li Meiling now. I expect she will make a move soon.”
