Chapter 587 The Counterfeit Wine Incident (3)
"That person is Luo Jing. Fortune favors the bold, and she's a master at getting something for nothing!"
She has absolutely no talent. Luo Baiwan is so angry at Luo Jing's treacherous nature that he's practically fuming. (x23us)
"I knew Zhang Caixia would try to steal the medicinal wine, so I had my bodyguards keep an eye on her. Even though the herbs were stolen twice, I didn't say anything. You can't catch a wolf without risking your herbs. I even kindly prepared a prescription for her and sent it out through Luo Jing."
After settling everything, I had my bodyguard keep an eye out for which families in the neighborhood were seeking medicine and then inform Zhang Caixia.
Zhang Caixia immediately went to investigate. Although the old man from the Fang family had obtained the medicinal wine, he fed it all to the rats after being reminded by the bodyguard.
The mouse used to have a very strong heartbeat and couldn't straighten its legs. After drinking Zhang's medicinal wine, its heart stopped beating and its legs straightened.
Zhang's counterfeit liquor is indeed potent; just one sip can take your life.
Old Fang had conspired with his second son beforehand, and the son pretended to be dead and came to cause trouble.
They've moved into Zhang Caixia's house and won't leave now.
Zhang Caixia murdered someone for money and is now in jail.
This article marks the end of her story. If she's caught in a crackdown, she'll be severely punished and won't be out for at least ten or twenty years!
Tonight I'm going to throw a welcome-back party for Ling, and also celebrate that we've eliminated an enemy!
After returning to the stove, Luo Ning continued cooking, without telling Luo Baiwan about Li Teng's visit.
Judging from her biological father's expression, he doesn't want to confirm Luo Jing's identity.
After all, they raised the child themselves; sometimes the truth isn't that important.
Liu Aihong pushed Ling Wei in a wheelchair, followed by Zhou Ling, who came in with a beaming smile to help.
Luo Baiwan curled his lip and glanced sideways at Ling, who was sitting in front of the stove like a bodhisattva. What was there to entertain him for?
Ling was speechless and choked with emotion. When it came to seniority, he decided to give up and not bother. His seniority was too low, which was a real headache for him.
The kitchen wasn't his stage, and it wasn't very convenient for his younger sister to be there, so he pushed her to the main room.
While Luo Ning was chopping vegetables, she realized she couldn't see Liu Donglan. "Auntie, where's Donglan?"
“Midterm exams are next week, and she called to say she won’t be coming back because she wants to spend more time studying! Your second uncle will be delivering vegetables to the city tomorrow, and I asked him to send Donglan some living expenses and a change of clothes.”
Zhou Ling replied with a smile, secretly planning to bring more things for her daughter to supplement her nutrition.
Luo Ning was very pleased and smiled like an aunt the whole time, "Donglan is working so hard, she will definitely get into a good university in the future. Our family will soon have its first college student!"
She secretly thought to herself, "Without comparison, there is no difference."
Although they ate together, Luo Jing and Liu Donglan were worlds apart.
Luo Ning used to have a lot of headaches with Luo Jing. She had tried to teach her and even discipline her, but to little avail.
Honestly, if it weren't for her parents' sake, Luo Jing would have been kicked into the sky long ago.
She has already spent enough time and energy on Luo Jing, and regardless of whether Luo Jing is her biological daughter or not, she does not intend to waste any more time on Luo Jing.
She's busy. With Shi Jia and Tu Yi looking after Luo Jing, she'll consider her mission accomplished once Luo Jing gets into university.
She's not a saint, she's a bad person!
Don't expect her to teach Luo Jing without any bottom line or principles, or to tolerate her foolishness.
Ling sat on the sofa chatting with Ling Wei while listening intently to the sounds coming from the kitchen.
His aunt took very good care of his younger sister, and her recovery far exceeded his expectations.
The wind outside was howling, and the world was cold, but Ling felt warm inside.
After dinner, everyone gradually dispersed.
Luo Ning pulled Luo Baiwan aside and expressed his opinion on Luo Jing's matter.
Luo Baiwan was silent for a moment before nodding. Da Ya had done so much for Luo Jing; she was just her older sister.
"I understand. I support your decision, Da Ya. You need to give Chang An a chance to explain. Besides, men care about their pride, so don't embarrass him!"
Xie Chang'an had already called him to try and salvage the situation indirectly, and Da Ya didn't want to break up with him, so he had no choice but to speak up for Xie Chang'an.
"Dad, don't worry, I know what to do!" Luo Ning smiled, her eyes crinkling. It was time to clean up the mess Ye had made.
Luo Baiwan breathed a sigh of relief, his gaze falling on Ling, who was standing motionless on the sofa. "Let's go!"
Ling got up and went straight into the small bedroom, closing the door behind her.
He won't leave, he'd rather die than leave.
He got in based on his own merit, so why should he leave!
Knowing what Luo Baiwan was thinking, Luo Ning immediately reassured him.
"Dad, the upstairs is finished, I'll live on the second floor! And Chen Fan and Han Bo will stay here with me."
There was an iron gate on the second floor that could stop that shameless Ling, so Luo Baiwan left with peace of mind.
The closed door was suddenly pounded on.
Luo Ning opened the door and was shocked to see a wild man. It took her a while to vaguely recognize him. "Pete?"
"She's gone?" Pete stepped inside, picked up a cup from the coffee table, and poured himself a cup of tea.
On the day Bai Xi left, she asked Xie Chang'an to hide Pete.
It took Pitt so long to recover; Xie Chang'an is truly amazing.
"You're leaving. What are your plans?" According to the chubby guy's information, this Pete is just cannon fodder.
Luo Ning then abandoned the idea of feeding Pete the knife-cut noodles, leaving it to him to decide whether to stay or leave.
“Am I not the photographer you hired?” Pete grinned, taking out a mung bean cake from the snack basket and eating it with gusto.
Luo Ning readily agreed and took in her cannon fodder cousin.
She returned to her bedroom, locked the door, and busied herself in the space. In the early hours of the morning, she took a camphor wood box and handed it to Han Bo.
"Tomorrow, go to Jidu and personally hand it over to Xie Chang'an. Then, rent all the rooms in the courtyard house under the locust tree near the military region, clean them up, and have them stand by!" We must first secure our home before dealing with external threats. We've been keeping Xie Chang'an waiting for so long; it's about time. Any longer and he'll be out of commission!
Han Bo took the camphor wood box and the key, and nodded solemnly.
Chen Fan then found an opportunity to report on the events of the past few days.
"Boss, Zhang Wen married Da Ge to escape public opinion, and Zhang Ming was so angry that he was hospitalized!"
Du Hongmei abducted Jingqiu, which led to Jingqiu being imprisoned and likely to remain there for three to five years.
However, Jingqiu's mother kept following Yu Jing, and probably thought that Yu Jing would automatically withdraw and let Luo Yang collect scraps.
Yu Jing's fiancé has arrived and is currently engaged in a tug-of-war with Luo Yang.
Three days after the truth-seeking program aired, the company's clothing sales reached a new high, receiving rave reviews.
Chang Ergou brought Hu Li home for dinner today, and now they're waiting for the results.
Luo Ning's brows furrowed. "Wasn't that black woman in jail? How did she get out?"
However, Zhang Wen wanted to climb the social ladder, but ended up marrying a simpleton instead—which was the best arrangement.
Chen Fan sneered, "It's all because Luo Wei protected her!"
Luo Ning's heart sank as he realized that Luo Wei, that piece of trash, hadn't been eliminated yet. He went back to his room, wrote a letter, slipped it through Old Man Quan's door, and then disappeared into the night with Chen Fan.
In a rented room in town, Hu Li, who had just finished having dinner at the hero's house, lay on the bed with her cheeks burning.
She never expected that the hero's parents were high-ranking officials in Shanghai. They seemed very satisfied with her and even asked about her family situation.
Hu Li laughed so hard she squealed like a pig, and rolled around on the bed with joy.
Xie Chang'an wrote three letters in a row, but they all disappeared without a trace. He still couldn't find Luo Ning, and his heart was tormented day by day, feeling that it would never get better.
Xie Chang'an stayed awake all night until dawn. After washing up, he went to the training ground and saw Ye walking towards him. He immediately turned around and walked back.
Because of this woman, he was neglected by his wife, and during such a sensitive time, he didn't want to confront Ye directly again.
However, Ye wouldn't let Xie Chang'an hide from her, and immediately chased after him.
