Fake Marriage To The Richest Tycoon-Chapter 115: Useless scumbag father
Chapter 115: Chapter 115: Useless scumbag father
Qin Zhuzhu wondered why Ning Ning was behaving so strangely. Ning Ning’s "come here" sounded more like she was hiding from something or someone, rather than being aggressive. Hence, Qin Zhuzhu obeyed while trying to guess what she was up to.
"Miss Ning, what are you doing here?"
Ning Ning pulled her into the shadows behind a pillar. There was a scarcity of light. No one could see or hear them. Qin Zhuzhu found Ning Ning very dangerous and fearsome today, unlike the impassive Ning Ning of the Shentu family. It looks like Ning Ning has been pretending the whole time.
"Qin Zhuzhu, do you know that Shentu Chu’s wedding is two months away?" Ning Ning didn’t sound like she wanted to do anything bad to her.
"Yes? What does that have to do with me?" Qin Zhuzhu eyed her suspiciously.
Ning Ning was wearing a revealing dress, her ample cleavage peeking out and her back bare.
Ning Ning took a deep breath before asking her, "Can you do me a favor? Don’t let Shentu Chu marry into the Qiao family."
Qin Zhuzhu wondered if she had heard it right. freewēbnoveℓ.com
"What? Isn’t that Old Master Shentu’s..."
"An arranged marriage between Old Master Shentu and Old Master Qiao? You want to ask why I’m telling you this?"
Qin Zhuzhu nodded.
"How about I make a deal with you?" Ning Ning didn’t answer the question. "You stop Chu’er from marrying into the Qiao family, and I’ll tell you something about your family."
"I know everything about my family, Miss Ning. What are you implying?" Qin Zhuzhu’s tone was cold and aloof.
"You only know what they wanted you to see," Ning Ning’s eyes were dark and gloomy. The wind blew gently, curling around their legs like a dragon’s claw encircling them.
"You know what they wanted you to know. But you don’t know what they hid from you. Have you ever wondered why your grandfather died in the hospital when he was very healthy?"
"He was sick. The doctors confirmed it," Qin Zhuzhu defended the death of her grandfather. Suddenly, the nightmare came back to her head. She heard those voices again, telling her that they wanted to kill her grandfather!
But she refused to mix her dream with reality.
"No. They lied," Ning Ning told her.
"How do you know? Why do you say that? Did you investigate my family?"
"From the moment you said you were Qin Zhuzhu, I knew who you were. Your Qin family didn’t collapse because of money or lack of sales, as they put it in the news. Your grandfather was healthy. He may have been old, but it wasn’t enough to send someone who was fairly strong and ate a balanced diet all his life to a hospital, where he suddenly became weak and comatose," Ning Ning said.
Ning Ning had been Shentu Dong’s wife for many years. How did she know all of this? Did the Shentu family know about this too?
Is this why her grandpa told her to stay away from the Shentu family?
"Do you have evidence?"
There was a dead silence between them.
"Currently, there’s none. I couldn’t find anything," Ning Ning admitted straightforwardly. "But I dared to say all of this to you. It’s up to you to believe it or not."
Qin Zhuzhu thought about it for a while. As much as she was suspicious of Ning Ning, she was also curious about her grandfather.
What was the exact relationship between him and Old Master Shentu? Somehow, everything that had happened to her seemed to be connected by a thin, invisible line.
"Shentu Chu isn’t your son. Why are you concerned about him? What about Mingye? Did you know that he left the Shentu family to look for you?" Qin Zhuzhu had learned this from Shentu Jing.
She was suspicious of Ning Ning. Shentu Dong had told everyone that she was a traitor, working for Shentu Hu, who was kicked out of the family because of his misdeeds.
Ning Ning took a deep breath before turning to meet her eyes.
"He’s the son of someone I know. Qin Zhuzhu, you’re a smart person. You should be able to guess why the Qiao family wants their precious daughter to marry Shentu Chu, an illegitimate son with no power or wealth."
Ning Ning was standing in the shadows. Moonlight cascaded down onto her cheeks and lips, illuminating the look of a woman who was about to rise from the dark. Fearsome and unpredictable.
Qin Zhuzhu realized that Ning Ning wasn’t the same Ning Ning she had met at the Shentu mansion.
"Shentu Chu has some benefits that the Qiao family wants," was all Qin Zhuzhu could come up with.
"I don’t know what it is, but I know that they are sending Chu’er into a fire pit. I can’t let that happen. I promised someone."
"I can agree to help you. But in return, I want you to find information about my grandpa and Old Master Shentu in exchange. Everything. With concrete evidence. I’ll only believe it if there’s evidence. Hard, solid evidence."
"Deal," Ning Ning smiled.
Qin Zhuzhu didn’t know what that smile meant, but it looked cunning and sly.
She watched as Ning Ning left, disappearing into the shadows.
Grandpa, how many secrets are hidden in the Qin family? Qin Zhuzhu looked up at the starry sky. She was reminded of the time when she had watched the stars with Shentu Jing.
Just perfect. This was indeed an opportunity.
Previously, she had gotten information from Song Muci that her father was hiding in the Qiao family. He had married one of Old Master Qiao’s daughters.
She didn’t owe the Shentu family anything. She didn’t want to get involved with them either, but there was no choice for her. If she wanted to know what had happened to the Qin family many years ago, it would have to start with the Shentu family.
Breaking up the wedding would be easier if she came up with an excuse.
And that would be to see her useless, scumbag father who had abandoned them.
