1998 Just To Meet You
“The youngsters have grown up. Their future development is limitless. I’m relieved to give them my things.”
Aunt Zhang nodded and said, “Grandma, you’re really wise and farsighted!”
The others nodded.
Mr. Ning said, “Mom, what’s your plan?”
“Isn’t this piece of land being developed now? No matter how it’s developed, it has to be distributed. I plan to split it into two,” Grandma Ning said.
Split into two?
Could it be that the old lady was planning to distribute everything to Ning Luyao and Ning Nuo?
Wasn’t this too unfair?
These two granddaughters were obviously completely different from one another.
Ning Luyao also felt that it was a little unfair. All these years, Old Madam Ning had been staying by her side. Ning Nuo would only come back once a year for the New Year. At most, she would stay for three to four days. What was this?
Why did she have to split it equally with her in the end?
Old Madam Ning looked at Ning Nuo kindly. This child had been the least liked since she was young, but she knew that she was not a bad person.
All these years, although she was not in the country, she often asked the maids to take good care of her. She also called her from overseas.
Speaking of companionship, Ning Luyao was indeed by her side often, but she didn’t even bother to talk to her.
Ning Nuo was overseas, but she interacted with her the most.
As for the fire, Old Madam Ning had always believed that it was just an accident. Although Ning Luyao swore that it was Ning Nuo who did it, she had never looked at Ning Nuo with such malice.
Mr. Ning said, “You want to split it into two? Mom, are you sure?”
“Of course, I’m sure. I’ve been thinking about it for a long time. I know I’m sometimes muddle-headed, but I’m completely sober now.”
Madam Ning asked, “Mom, how are you going to split it?”
Grandma Ning smiled and said, “Naturally, my two granddaughters will get an equal share. As the head of the family, I can’t be biased. I have to treat them fairly so that they can grow up healthily.”
These words implied something and touched Ning Nuo deeply. Ning Nuo’s eyes could not help but tear up.
Ever since she was young, she had always yearned for fair treatment from her family.
Unfortunately, even when she had tried her best and done everything, it was to no avail. She had no choice but to force herself to stay away from this family at a young age.
In this family, only Grandma had given her equal treatment. All these years, she had doted on her and Ning Luyao equally.
Actually, Ning Nuo didn’t want the inheritance. She just wanted simple fairness.
To Ning Luyao, it was something that was easily obtainable, but to her, it was something that she had spent countless efforts to find.
Mr. Ning said, “So you’re giving half of the land to Yao Yao and the other half to Ning Nuo?”
This was not in line with Mr. Ning’s expectations. After all, his mother had not taken him into consideration.
However, in the eyes of outsiders, this was indeed the most normal method. After all, the two sisters were his biological daughters.
He really couldn’t object.
Grandma Ning said, “As for Nuo Nuo’s share, it’ll be given to her straight. As for Yaoyao’s, although it’s for her, the current management rights are still yours. You guys can keep Yao Yao’s share for now and give it back to her in five years.”
Grandma Ning felt that Ning Luyao was not mature enough and had done something inappropriate. She wanted to split the inheritance equally with her, but she wanted Mr. and Madam Ning to help manage it first.
In her opinion, everything was just right.
However, she underestimated Ning Luyao’s thoughts.
Ning Luyao lowered her head and said softly, “Grandma’s idea is very good. I think it’s not bad either. Anyway, I’m Dad and Mom’s child. Not to mention having Dad and Mom keep it for me first, I’m even willing to give it to them. In the future, I’ll be filial to Dad and Mom. It doesn’t matter if they give it to me or not.”
Her words were extremely sincere, which made Mr. Ning very happy. Ning Nuo would definitely not give him anything. However, Ning Luyao wanted to give her share to him directly. As a father, he felt proud and satisfied.
In that case, how could half of the land be enough?
He said, “Mom, isn’t it a little too much to give Nuo Nuo half of the land?”
Seeing that her words had worked, Ning Luyao stopped talking.
Grandma Ning asked, “What do you have to say?”
“After all… Nuo Nuo did something like that back then, but you’re still protecting her like this. I’m afraid that her path will become more and more crooked in the future,” Mr. Ning said. “Wasn’t Dad’s tragic incident back then bad enough?”
When Mr. Ning took the initiative to mention this, the other relatives chimed in, “The fire back then was really too tragic! Thinking about it now, I still have lingering fears!”
“That’s right. How can there be such a terrifying child?”
Everyone kept their distance from Ning Nuo as if she were a ferocious beast.
A bitter smile appeared on Ning Nuo’s lips. Ever since she was young, they had always been like this. They completely treated her as a demon. All their words were so hurtful.
His parents, on the other hand, watched coldly.
Today was no exception.
Ning Luyao said, “Everyone, don’t talk about Yao Yao like that. She must have just been muddle-headed for a moment and didn’t do it on purpose.”
The implication of saying that it was a moment of confusion was that it was Ning Nuo who did it!
Everyone’s discussion became even more obvious. “Old Master spent money to buy this piece of land back then. Ning Nuo did such a thing and caused Old Master to pass away. How could half of the land be given to her? How is that possible?”
Ning Nuo held her chopsticks tightly.
She was already mentally strong now, but when she heard these words, she could not help but feel a sharp pain in her heart.
She had suffered a lot when she was young back then.
Grandma Ning slammed her chopsticks down and said sternly, “I’ve already made a decision. The two of them will get equal shares! It’s useless to say anything else!”
When she was young, she was very powerful. When she got older, she still had some influence. Although she had not lost her temper for a long time, her sudden actions were still shocking.
For a moment, no one said anything.
Grandma Ning said, “Let’s do that. We’ll get a notary to come to the house tomorrow.”
“Grandma, actually, we should be able to find out the truth about the fire tomorrow,” Ning Nuo suddenly said.
Everyone looked at her.
Ning Luyao also looked at her fiercely, clenching her fists.
“What do you mean?” Grandma Ning asked gently.
“I asked my friend to look for all kinds of information from back then, but I didn’t expect to gain anything. There was a surveillance camera that broke down back then, so we couldn’t check it then. But with the new technology now, it can be repaired. Later, my friend will send the recovered footage to us.”
