Chapter 668 What is Wan Juying planning to do?
Luo Ning discovered someone was watching her from the shadows. She summoned Chen Fan and asked him to investigate who was behind it all.
Zhou Ling rushed to Jidu and, as soon as she entered Luo Ning's house, she grabbed her and asked her all sorts of questions, beaming with joy.
After they finished cooking, Liu Chunsheng, who had already received a call from Luo Ning, brought Liu Yingge to their door.
Liu Yingge was a little embarrassed when she suddenly saw Zhou Ling. She thought it was just a meal with Luo Ning as before, but she didn't expect there to be outsiders present.
"Yingge, my aunt is no stranger to us, so don't be shy." Luo Ning pulled Liu Yingge to sit down and offered her some food.
Liu Chunsheng sat next to Liu Yingge, taking care of her.
Zhou Ling, holding her rice bowl, found Liu Yingge pleasing to the eye no matter how she looked at her.
But Liu Chunsheng is a real idiot; he still hasn't won the girl over, and she has to step in.
Zhou Ling was not very threatening; aside from urging Liu Yingge to eat more and not to be shy, she had no presence whatsoever, and Liu Yingge enjoyed her meal quite comfortably.
After dinner, Luo Ning quietly took Zhou Ling away from home to the courtyard house, leaving the space to Liu Chunsheng and Liu Yingge.
Zhou Ling planned to live in a courtyard house, and Luo Ning readily agreed, saying it would be good for her aunt to keep her mother company.
On the way, Luo Ning leaned close to Zhou Ling and whispered, "Auntie, what do you think of Yingge?"
"Of course, my niece has the best taste!" Zhou Ling was extremely proud, but she was also a little worried when she thought of Liu Chunsheng, that taciturn man.
Liu Chunsheng, you need to step up your game! I've been waiting for decades to have my daughter-in-law's tea.
The two entered the courtyard house. Liu Aihong was overjoyed to see Zhou Ling, and the two sisters-in-law held hands and chatted endlessly.
Luo Ning felt superfluous, touched his nose, and left.
She met Chen Fan at the entrance of the courtyard house.
Chen Fan looked around and reported in a low voice, "Boss, the people who have been watching you lately are from the Jin family in the capital, Wan Juying's people."
Wan Juying? Luo Ning's brows furrowed. "Tell them to be on their guard. Send people to the capital to monitor Wan Juying and see what she's up to."
"Yes!" Chen Fan nodded and immediately went to make the arrangements.
She went to the Quan family home and called Xiang Dong and Xiang Xi. She learned that Luo Baiwan was recovering well and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As she hung up the phone and was leaving, Chief Quan, who was standing on the stairs, called out to Luo Ning, "What have you thought about that matter?"
"Still considering!" Luo Ning said, and then disappeared.
Chief Quan rolled his eyes. What's there to consider?
After settling into the courtyard house, Zhou Ling immediately began preparing things for Luo Ning's wedding.
With just over a month until the wedding, time is of the essence, and she's incredibly busy.
Although Luo Ning repeatedly emphasized keeping everything simple, now that the family's financial situation had improved and this was their first happy occasion, Liu Aihong was determined to hold a grand celebration.
Zhou Ling and Luo Ning's two uncles shared the same idea. While the two women were busy preparing for Luo Ning's wedding, Luo Ning couldn't refuse Liang Qiao's hospitality and went to visit the Liang family in the capital.
She was somewhat curious about the Liang family; in fact, that was her real family, but she could never mention it, only keep it in her heart.
When Luo Ning appeared at the Liang family home, Liang Qiao's parents and her boyfriend Luo Qian were completely dumbfounded.
They could hardly imagine that there were people in the world who looked so alike, and who were not related by blood.
When Liang Qiao returned home, she mentioned that there was a Luo Ning in the world who looked almost exactly like her. The Liang family used their connections to investigate and uncovered Luo Ning's background, which had absolutely no connection to the Liang family.
"Mom and Dad, Luo Qian, what do you think? I didn't lie to you, did I?" Liang Qiao stood next to Luo Ning, tilting her head and smiling.
"It's so similar, almost identical! Except for the eyes, they're almost exactly the same!" Luo Qian examined it carefully and gave an objective evaluation.
He couldn't help but chuckle as he recalled what had happened back then.
"I had just started dating Liang Qiao when I left my hometown and joined Xie Chang'an in the counterattack."
Xie Chang'an once joked that he would name his and Liang Qiao's child Luo Ning.
I hope that when he is born, the world will be free of war and filled with peace and tranquility!
I never imagined there really was someone named Luo Ning in the world, haha…”
Luo Ning: "..."
She never expected that her name was given to her by Xie Chang'an. After she was sent to the orphanage, the director found that name in her swaddling clothes, and from then on, Luo Ning became her name.
It's a pity Xie Chang'an didn't have memories of her past life, otherwise she would have known how she became an orphan and how the Liang family fell into ruin.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Liang Qiao glared at Luo Qian. Had this guy gone mad today?
Knowing he was in the wrong, Luo Qian kept apologizing to Luo Ning.
"It's alright, Brother Luo!" Luo Ning shook his head, feeling really confused.
"Luoning, come, sit down next to me!" Liang Qiao's mother waved to Luoning warmly.
"Okay, Auntie!" Luo Ning, her mind still a mess, walked over and sat down next to Liang Qiao's mother.
Liang Qiao pulled Luo Ning around, looking her up and down, nodding repeatedly. Her gaze inadvertently fell on Luo Ning's bracelet. "If I weren't certain that I only had two daughters, and if my youngest daughter were still alive, I would really think you were my daughter. But Luo Ning, do you have any relatives with the surname Zheng?"
Liang Qiao's father glanced at the bracelet and instantly understood what his wife was thinking.
Liang Qiao and Luo Qian were completely confused. What?
Luo Ning instinctively shook her head. She suddenly remembered something. Could it be...?
Liang Qiao's mother sighed and started talking about what happened back then. "I had a younger sister. We were separated because of the Cultural Revolution. I heard that she married a family surnamed He in the Northwest. I went to look for her later, but I couldn't find her. She's probably gone."
When we parted ways, Grandma gave my sister and me each a pair of earrings with a pattern similar to your bracelet!
"Is that so?" Luo Ning magically pulled a pair of earrings from her pocket and handed them to Liang Qiao's mother.
Liang Qiao's mother stared intently at the earrings, her emotions gradually escalating. "Luo Ning, these earrings are..."
"Is it yours? Are you my cousin?" Liang Qiao blurted out, her eyes sparkling.
Liang Qiao's father and Luo Qian also agreed with that statement; it turns out that after all the twists and turns, Luo Ning is still family.
"No, no, this isn't mine!" Luo Ning shook his head, realizing something was amiss.
"This is my thing!"
"Is this really true or not?!" Liang Qiao's mother was confused by Luo Ning, and the others were also anxious.
Luo Ning sighed and hurriedly explained, "These earrings are mine now. They weren't before; they were a sworn sister gift from one of my female sisters to me when we became sworn sisters!"
"Then, what's her name, and where is she now?" Liang Qiao hurriedly asked.
“Her name is Zheng Xiu’e, and she’s in Jiangbei right now! She’s only in her early twenties. I don’t think she’s the person you’re looking for… The one you’re looking for should have the surname He!” Luo Ning muttered softly.
Liang Qiao shook her head. "That's not necessarily true. Maybe my cousin will take my aunt's surname?"
Liang Qiao's parents nodded, agreeing that this was not impossible.
"Well, I have something to do, so I won't bother you any longer!" Luo Ning made an excuse to leave, afraid that staying too long would give her away.
"Okay, we won't keep you any longer!" Liang Qiao's mother nodded and invited her to come again next time.
Luo Ning readily agreed and vanished on her whirlwind escape. Her relationship with Zheng Xiu'e was finally about to come to light...
