Chapter 2002 - 2002 Just To Meet You
What had they done to raise such a demon? It was so unfair to Ning Nuo!
Before Ning Nuo could call the police, some relatives and friends had already called the police.
Soon, someone from the police arrived at the event location. After understanding the situation, they detained Ning Luyao.
She was unwilling and unconvinced. When she walked to Ning Nuo’s side, she glared at her fiercely.
Until now, she had no regrets. She only hated herself for not getting what she wanted.
“Ning Nuo, consider yourself lucky. Even the heavens helped you find the restored surveillance footage!” At this moment, there was only one thing that Ning Luyao regretted. She did the act in a hurry and did not consider things carefully.
Otherwise, how could she have been caught by Mr. and Madam Ning at the location?
She also hated how good luck was always on Ning Nuo’s side!
If Ning Nuo didn’t have the USB drive and she got the old lady’s land, she could live a good life in the future, be a good person, and write off everything from the past.
Ning Nuo looked at her seriously, and a smile slowly appeared in her eyes. She leaned close to Ning Luyao’s ear and said softly, “Did you really think that the footage from back then could be restored?”
When Ning Luyao heard this, hatred flashed across her eyes. “Ning Nuo, you b*tch! How dare you lie to me?! You lied to me!”
Her actions were so crazy that the police quickly held her down and took her away.
Yes, there was no restored footage on the USB drive.
So many years had passed since the incident. The police at that time had not found any clues. After so many years, how could the surveillance footage have been repaired?
But the real criminal would be afraid that such evidence still remained in the world. They would be afraid of the truth revealing itself one day.
Only they would believe that there was real evidence, and only they would fall into such a simple trap.
After Ning Luyao was taken away, the entire Ning family returned to silence. No one said anything else. The scene was so awkward that it was terrifying.
The other relatives and friends also slowly left.
Ning Nuo stood beside Grandma Ning and said in a low voice, “I’m sorry, Grandma. I didn’t expect the real culprit to be Ning Luyao.”
Actually, even Ning Nuo could not believe it. After all, the fire back then had caused too much damage. Her grandfather, who loved her so much, had also passed away because of it. She had once thought that the murderer would be among the family’s relatives and friends.
She knew that Ning Luyao was scheming, but she was not crazy enough. However, the truth was… Ning Luyao was really that crazy.
But tonight’s events had far exceeded her expectations.
Ning Luyao drugged the bird’s nest soup with sleeping pills and stole the USB flash drive… And his husband died in the fire back then.
No matter which granddaughter did this, Grandma Ning would feel terrible.
She patted the back of Ning Nuo’s hand and said, “You don’t have to blame yourself. The truth would’ve been revealed eventually. If you hadn’t done this, others would’ve continued to slander you. Instead of that, I’d rather see the real culprit found.”
Ning Nuo lowered her head and did not say anything.
At this moment, Mr. and Madam Ning did not know what to say.
They had been biased for many years and could not distinguish the truth. Now that they knew the truth, they wanted to get close to Ning Nuo but did not dare to.
The estrangement between them was really too deep.
They could only look at Ning Nuo with anticipation but a little fear. It was as if they wanted to get close but were afraid of scaring her.
Grandma Ning said, “Nuo Nuo, accompany me upstairs.”
Ning Nuo nodded and pushed her wheelchair upstairs. Looking at Grandma’s old and haggard expression, Ning Nuo did not feel good either.
When they got upstairs, Grandma Ning said softly, “Your father is a little unscrupulous, but he’s not a bad person. Most of the time, he might have been instigated by others.”
In this family, although she was sometimes muddle-headed because of her illness, she could actually see the nature of everyone in the family clearly.
If she allowed Ning Nuo to live with hatred in her heart, it would not be a good thing for her.
Hence, Grandma Ning still hoped that she could untie the knot in her heart.
“As for your mother, the reason why she’s been treating you like that is that she’s too soft-hearted and easily biased toward your sister. In addition, she’s been in a bad mood all these years because of her injured arm, so it’s inevitable for her to be biased against you.”
Ning Nuo understood what Grandma Ning meant. “Grandma, I won’t hate Dad and Mom anymore.”
However, she would not be too intimate with them.
The estrangement and unfamiliarity that had been formed over the years were not something she could overcome just by thinking about it.
It was too late.
Even if she could get a hundred times more of what she wanted when she was young, the meaning of it would be completely different.
She squatted down and leaned her head on Grandma Ning’s lap. She said softly, “In the future, I’ll fulfill my duty to support them.”
Grandma Ning knew what she was thinking deep down. It was not easy for her to do this. She could not force Ning Nuo to do anything else.
…
The next day.
Grandma Ning’s birthday banquet passed peacefully.
Her relatives and friends were here, but they were not too happy.
After all, such a big thing had just happened.
The truth had also slapped them in the face, and it was very painful.
Grandma Ning invited a lawyer and an employee from the notary office to make an announcement in front of everyone, “My piece of land will still be divided into two. Half of it will be given to Nuo Nuo. The other half will be given to my son and daughter-in-law.”
It was actually similar to yesterday, but the meaning was very different. Ning Luyao was no longer considered.
Grandma Ning’s actions were understandable.
She had given half of the land to Mr. and Madam Ning. When Ning Luyao came back in the future, as long as she was willing to turn over a new leaf, her parents would not starve her.
However, it was basically impossible for her to live a luxurious life and be doted on again just like in the past.
Ning Nuo said, “Dad, Mom, I want to bring Grandma to the sanatorium near my place. That way, I can visit her often and accompany her.”
Mr. and Madam Ning nodded in agreement. “Then bring her over. We’ll go over often when we have time.”
The helper who had been taking care of Grandma Ning at home had always been in contact with Ning Nuo.
This time, when Ning Nuo picked up Grandma and left, she also hired her to go to the sanatorium to specially take care of Grandma Ning.
