1997 Just To Meet You
“Grandma’s condition could get better!” Ning Nuo was also furious. “You guys are the ones who are making all sorts of excuses. You don’t allow me to bring her away for better treatment. You have no right to shout here now!”
Ning Luyao raised her head and said, “When the time comes, you’d better appear as soon as possible. After we’re done distributing the inheritance, you can take her wherever you want.”
Looking at her shameless appearance, Ning Nuo was both angry and amused. Where did she get such arrogance from? She even said that she could take Grandma wherever she wanted? Was Grandma just a tool to divide the inheritance in her eyes?
After Ning Luyao left, Ning Nuo still couldn’t vent her anger.
“This matter really needs to end.” Lin Yu comforted her and reached out to pat her back. “We can definitely come up with a proper solution.”
Ning Nuo nodded gently. “Alright.”
The two of them had discussed this matter many times before and had a rough idea of how to resolve it.
Since Ning Luyao had already come looking for them, this was a good opportunity to solve the problem.
…
On the eve of Grandma Ning’s birthday banquet, many guests from the Ning family had already arrived.
After the farce of the wedding, these guests had some complaints about Ning Luyao.
However, they were just like Mr. and Madam Ning. They had watched Ning Luyao grow up, and Ning Luyao was good at catering to them. She had always gotten along very well with them, so it was no exception now. Their love for Ning Luyao was still there.
“Yao Yao, I heard that Grandma is going to split the land under her name. That piece of land is already being developed. It’s worth a lot of money now. When the time comes, she’ll definitely give you the majority. After all, you’ve been filial to Grandma all these years.”
Ning Luyao smiled gently. “This is all up to Grandma. We’ll respect Grandma no matter what she does.”
“You shouldn’t say that, Yao Yao. You’ve always been filial and taking care of the old lady. Ning Nuo didn’t do anything, so she’s naturally inferior to you.”
“But a younger sister is still a younger sister,” Ning Luyao said.
“She framed you so many times, yet you still care about your sisterhood? From what I saw at the wedding, she might have deliberately framed you. That Tang Mou is brainless to have believed such a small thing. I don’t believe it.”
Ning Luyao’s face turned pale. “I don’t know why Nuo Nuo has to do this. Maybe she really wants her family’s approval too much. Only by stepping on me can she get what she wants.”
“Yao Yao, you can’t let Nuo Nuo get all of this. How did Grandpa die back then? Wasn’t it all because of Ning Nuo? You have to understand this well!”
As they were talking, Ning Nuo came in.
She was wearing a simple white T-shirt and jeans. Her simple outfit made her look fashionable, beautiful, and young.
Many people at the event location were also dressed like this, but she was the only one who wore it well.
Back then, many of the Ning family’s relatives and friends relied on the business to make a living. Ning Nuo burned everything down. Thinking about it now, everyone still found it difficult to accept it. Naturally, they would not treat Ning Nuo well.
She walked in and asked, “Where’s Grandma?”
“Grandma will be down soon.” Seeing that she came alone, Ning Luyao wondered if Lin Yu would come.
But no matter what, Lin Yu was still an outsider. It was impossible for him to control the distribution of the Ning family’s assets.
Ning Luyao was fearless.
“Sister, it’s rare for you to be here today. Don’t go back tonight. Stay and talk to Grandma more.” Ning Luyao invited her generously.
The other relatives couldn’t help but shake their heads. “She caused Grandpa’s death back then. I’m afraid she’s going to harm Grandma. Are you really at ease with her staying with Grandma?”
“Everyone, don’t talk about Nuo Nuo like that. She’s not that kind of person. I believe that what happened back then was an accident.” Ning Luyao was eloquent in front of outsiders and acted very well.
Ning Nuo did not argue with her. When she saw the servant pushing Grandma downstairs, she hurriedly went forward and whispered to her, asking her what medicine she had taken, how her health was recently, and if she slept well at night.
Grandma had doted on her since she was young, so she reciprocated sincerely.
However, in the eyes of outsiders, she was only doing this for the sake of the inheritance. Only Ning Luyao was truly filial and loving.
Seeing that it was about time, Mr. and Madam Ning said, “Let’s talk later. Let’s eat first.”
Actually, the couple also felt that it was better to give more of the old lady’s inheritance to Ning Luyao.
They had a good relationship with Ning Luyao. If it was given to Ning Luyao, it would mean that they would have more money in the future.
Over the years, Ning Nuo had become more and more distant from them. If the old lady gave most of the inheritance to her, the couple could forget about anything else.
Everyone gathered around and sat down at the dining table to eat.
At the dining table, seeing that Grandma Ning was in a good mood today, someone said, “Grandma, do you know that your piece of land is already being developed? It’s worth a lot of money now!”
Grandma Ning had Alzheimer’s. Sometimes, she didn’t know anyone at all, and sometimes, she was no different from a normal person.
Today, she looked radiant and clear-headed. She smiled and said, “Of course, I know. Thanks to all of you, the Ning family will be better in the future.”
“Grandma, you need someone to take care of you. Yao Yao has always been taking care of you. Coincidentally, you’re also healthy now. Why don’t you let the younger generation take care of these things? You’ll be happy to enjoy life.”
The person who spoke was called Aunt Zhang. She was a distant relative of the Ning family.
However, she had been in close contact with the Ning family all these years and had a good relationship with Ning Luyao, so every word she said was for Ning Luyao.
Besides, her husband also worked in Mr. Ning’s company. She wanted to see the company do better so that her husband’s income would be higher.
If she wanted the company to do well, it would definitely need more investments.
Hence, she had been urging this matter since she came over.
She did not want everything to be taken away by Ning Nuo. She was not familiar with Ning Nuo and did not have any feelings for her. When the time came, she would not be able to curry favor with her even if she wanted to. It would not be worth it.
As for the other relatives, the stakes were not that high. However, most of them were thinking about how Ning Nuo was like a demon when she was young. It was better not to speak up for Ning Luyao.
Grandma Ning smiled and said, “That’s what I think too. I’ve worked hard all my life. I really want to stop and rest.”
