Chapter 2000 - 2000 Just To Meet You
2000 Just To Meet You
She had never thought of burning down her entire family’s house!
But the result was the worst…
Ning Luyao could only watch helplessly as the fire spread.
Of course, it was not a bad thing. After all, Ning Nuo had lost everyone’s favor.
Except for Grandma Ning, everyone hated her.
Even her parents thought she was a demon.
But now, the situation was about to change!
Ning Luyao was scared.
If Grandma Ning really saw the truth of what happened back then… She was still young back then, after all. Although she knew how to buy a wig to pretend to be Ning Nuo, there would definitely be many loopholes. At that time, not to mention half of that piece of land, she would probably not even get a single cent.
No, she had to make the first move. She had to steal the recording from Grandma and destroy it. Only then could she ensure that her matter would not be exposed and she could still be her parents’ good daughter. She could still get half of the land!
Although she was not satisfied with half of the land, it was better than getting nothing!
She went to the kitchen and brought a bowl of bird’s nest soup into Grandma Ning’s room.
“Grandma, you didn’t eat much tonight. You must be hungry now, right? This is the bird’s nest soup that I specially prepared for you. Eat more. I know you like to eat sweet things, so I specially added a lot of sugar for you,” Ning Luyao said.
“Okay, thank you,” Old Madam Ning said.
Actually, because she hadn’t exercised much in the past few years, her diabetes had worsened. She didn’t dare to eat sugary food anymore, let alone take food that had extra sugar in it.
If Ning Luyao really had a heart, how could she not know this?
Grandma Ning said, “Help me get some water. I’m a little thirsty.”
Ning Luyao went over. When she came back, she was relieved to see that the bird’s nest soup was half empty.
After Grandma Ning finished drinking the water, Ning Luyao said, “Grandma, rest early. I’ll leave first. See you tomorrow.”
“Go ahead and have a good rest. I still have to watch the video later,” Grandma Ning said.
…
It was late at night.
Everyone in the Ning family was already asleep.
Mr. and Madam Ning were discussing, “Was it really not Ning Nuo who did it?”
“From the way she acted, it looks like it. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have dared to give the video to Mom,” Madam Ning said.
Mr. Ning shook his head. “Maybe she just gave it to Mom but she’ll secretly take it away to destroy it later. Hasn’t she played many tricks over the years?”
“Why don’t we pretend to be asleep first and pay attention to the commotion over there?” Madam Ning said.
Mr. Ning felt that it was a good idea. He really wanted to clarify the matter.
If it was really Ning Nuo who did it, she could forget about getting that piece of land!
The couple turned off the lights and pretended to be asleep.
…
Ning Luyao walked silently toward Grandma Ning’s room.
She grabbed the thing that Ning Nuo had given to Grandma Ning. She held it in her hand and walked out. She planned to return to her room and flush it into the toilet bowl to destroy it.
At the same time, the lights of the entire Ning family were turned on.
Mr. and Madam Ning were very surprised to see Ning Luyao.
Their other relatives and friends were also surprised to see her.
“Dad, Mom… I… I just couldn’t sleep, so I got up to take a walk…”
“What’s that in your hand?” Mr. Ning asked.
“It’s nothing. It’s just something that girls use.” Ning Luyao didn’t expect to be caught red-handed.
She had underestimated everyone’s determination to get the truth.
That fire changed everyone’s lives. Everyone hated the culprit.
Whether it was Ning Nuo who did it or someone else, everyone had such thoughts. If they could not solve it, they would not be able to sleep peacefully.
Mr. Ning stepped forward and grabbed her wrist. Ning Luyao grabbed the USB drive tightly and refused to let go.
“Ning Luyao, hand it over!”
“I told you, it’s mine. You can’t force me to hand it over!” Ning Luyao shouted.
However, everyone had already seen the outline of the USB flash drive in her hands. It was really the USB flash drive that Ning Nuo had given Grandma Ning!
“Why do you have the USB drive?” Mr. Ning asked fiercely.
Madam Ning also looked anxious. “What are you doing with this?”
“I just want to take a look.” Ning Luyao tried her best to defend herself. She stepped back, shook off Mr. Ning’s hand, rushed into the toilet, and threw the USB drive into the toilet bowl. She then flushed it down!
She also knew that her current behavior was too crazy and suspicious.
However, she couldn’t let everyone open the USB drive in public and see the contents, right?
She had already lost too many times. She could not afford to lose again!
She was clearly a winner in life and had thrived in the entertainment industry, but in a short period of time, she lost to Ning Nuo!
She was not convinced. She was really not convinced!
Mr. Ning slapped her hard in the face. “Why did you throw away the USB drive? Why?”
Madam Ning also asked bitterly, “Did you do it? Did you start the fire back then? Why did you do it?”
“She even tried to lay a hand on Grandma.” Ning Nuo supported Grandma Ning and walked over. “Ning Luyao, you’re really crazy! In order to steal the USB flash drive, you put ten sleeping pills in the bird’s nest soup you gave Grandma! Don’t you know that Grandma’s body is weak to begin with and she has been suffering from heart disease and other old age diseases all these years? Were you planning to take Grandma’s life with ten sleeping pills?”
Ning Luyao didn’t want to either, but if Grandma Ning really saw what was on the USB drive, she would be finished!
That was why she put in so many pills!
Afraid that the old lady would taste it, she specially added a lot of sugar!
Grandma Ning looked at her in disappointment and said, “Fortunately, Nuo Nuo told me not to eat anything tonight as the culprit would definitely drug me and take the USB drive to cover up the crime. Therefore, I didn’t drink the bird’s nest soup you gave me. Instead, I got the doctor to check it.
“Ning Luyao, you put ten sleeping pills in the half bowl of soup I poured out!
“If I had really drank the bowl, I’m afraid I wouldn’t even be here anymore! Tell me what you’re thinking!”
Hearing Grandma Ning’s words, Mr. Ning was furious.
He couldn’t believe that his beloved daughter would do such a thing.
However, he had seen with his own eyes how she threw the USB drive into the toilet bowl. Now, he even learned that she had given his mother ten sleeping pills. How could he lie to himself and say that this daughter was really the obedient daughter he doted on?
Mr. Ning slapped her again. “Ning Luyao, tell me, what’s going on? Tell me!”
“You’ve never hit me since I was young! You’ve never even laid a finger on me! Now, you’re hitting me because of Ning Nuo?” Ning Luyao looked at her father in disbelief and almost cried.
