Chapter 759: 198: Self-inflicted_6
Zheng Xianjing took the bowl and chopsticks from the servant’s hand, “Let me feed Aunt Suyu.”
Zheng Suyu was restless while eating, often spraying food all over the person feeding her.
In just a few minutes, Zheng Xianjing was sprayed twice.
“Fun! Fun! So much fun!” Zheng Suyu clapped her hands joyfully.
Zheng Xianjing didn’t get angry, she calmly wiped the leftovers off her face with a handkerchief, her lips still held a smile, and she kindly said, “Aunt Suyu, you mustn’t be naughty, we have to eat properly.”
Who else could tolerate such behavior from Zheng Suyu?
Seeing Zheng Xianjing being so understanding, both the Zheng family’s patriarch and matriarch were very reassured.
Zheng Lingling unintentionally exchanged glances with Zheng Xianjing, and both saw the satisfaction in the other’s eyes.
Ni Yang took a sip of milk, her gaze sweeping over everyone unnoticed.
Is Zheng Xianjing really that kind?
From what she knew of Zheng Xianjing, unless the sun rises from the west, Zheng Xianjing would certainly not be a person of good will.
The Zheng family’s water was too deep.
She had to probe carefully to ensure that her grandparents could live their final years in peace.
After breakfast was over, everyone began to go about their business.
Shangguan Xu and Shangguan Xi went to work, before they left they informed the matriarch that they would not be coming the next evening.
Firstly, because it was inconvenient due to work, and secondly, there was a generational gap between them and the matriarch.
Moreover, their paternal grandmother was still alive, how would it look if they always stayed at the Zheng family’s house?
Ni Yang left the house with Shangguan Xu and Shangguan Xi.
Shangguan Xu asked, “Yangyang, where are you going? I can drive you there.”
Ni Yang replied, “No need, I will ride my bike. I have several places to go this afternoon, it would be inconvenient if you were to drive me.”
“Alright then, just be careful on the way.” Shangguan Xu instructed her.
“Okay.” Ni Yang nodded.
At that moment, the matriarch came out from inside, “Yangyang, where are you going? Our family might lack other things, but we have plenty of cars. I can assign a driver to you and have them take you there.”
Upon hearing this, Zheng Lingling’s face was full of disbelief!
What?!
This old hag actually wanted to assign a driver to Ni Yang?!
She had served this old hag in the Zheng family for so many years, and the old hag had never thought of assigning a driver to Zheng Xianjing.
What did she mean by this now?
Was she deliberately trying to embarrass her?
Anger was seething up inside Zheng Lingling, but she could not vent it out.
Ni Yang smiled and said, “No need Grandma, I prefer to ride my bike.” She preferred bicycles over cars, Ni Yang was someone who was immensely nostalgic. This bicycle had been with her since she started her business two years ago, she couldn’t bear to retire it.
With Ni Yang’s current financial status, if she wanted to switch to a car, she wouldn’t have to consider it at all. She could easily afford not just one, but ten cars without batting an eyelid.
Ni Yang was the type who silently amassed wealth.
“Let me assign a driver for you then, riding a bike requires pedaling, it’s so tiring!” the matriarch insisted.
Ni Yang replied, “Not at all, I have to leave now Grandma, bye.”
The matriarch helplessly laughed, “This child…”
Shangguan Dehui didn’t have class today, he had already discussed with Ni Cuihua the night before about bringing the Zheng family patriarch and matriarch out for fun today.
Throughout these years, the elderly couple had been continually searching for Ni Cuihua, without taking the time to enjoy themselves.
Ni Cuihua said, “Why don’t you come with us, Lingling?”
“Sure.” Zheng Lingling nodded.
It was an important occasion. Of course she would go. What if, in her absence, the old Master Zheng and Madam Zheng handed all the Zheng Family’s property over to Ni Cuihua?
She had to closely watch Mr. Zheng and Mrs. Zheng at all times!
Now it was already April, the sunshine was warm, both sides of the road were lined with cherry trees, which were just blooming right now. The beautiful pink blossoms were a sight to behold from afar.
Ni Yang was cycling down the road, the gentle breeze stirred up the pink cherry blossoms creating a flurry of petals. Petals fell into her hair, onto her shoulders, and brushed past her cheeks, causing her to instinctively stretch her arms wide.
Ni Yang had good control of her bike. Even with her arms outstretched, she cycled steadily. From afar, she exhibited a vibrant sense of beauty and skill.
A black car whisked past her.
Just as the black car drove by, a figure dashed across from the other side of the road.
“Whi-” Ni Yang quickly braked and jumped off the bike, “Are you okay, sis?”
The girl appeared sixteen or seventeen years old, her face smeared with a layer of dark dust, making it hard to see her actual features. However, her giant sparkling eyes lit up her face.
Although it was already April, she was still wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket with floral patterns.
The girl was about to say something when a pallid woman rushed from the side, grabbed her arm and started running, “Xiaoyun, let’s go, we’re running out of time.”
Wu Yanyun had no time to respond and hurriedly followed her mother.
The mother and daughter ran all the way to stop in front of a large hotel.
The mother’s name was Yan Erju.
As she ran, Yan Erju instructed Wu Yanyun, “Xiaoyun, remember to serve yourself plenty of meat and vegetables. Aim for things like roast chicken and pork knuckle! Your grandma hasn’t tasted meat for a long time.”
Wu Yanyun nodded, “Okay, mom. I understand.”
Starting yesterday, the hotel began offering a buffet service, with an abundance of food. Many who had difficulty getting a good meal or were financially strained, would come to eat at this buffet. Not only could they eat their fill, but they could also take some home.
The banquet was rumored to have been sponsored by a wealthy family celebrating the return of their long-lost daughter.
This indeed was a good deed.
Besides this mother and daughter, many others came from afar, making the hotel lobby extremely crowded.
…..
Meanwhile in the car, a man who had been calmly reading the newspaper suddenly put it down and looked back.
However, due to the high speed of the car, he could no longer see the road behind clearly.
“Mr. Du, what are you looking at?” Wang Ziqi, the driver looked back and asked.
“Nothing.” Mr. Du picked up the newspaper again, asking, “How is the investigation going?”
Wang Ziqi, of course, knew what Mr. Du was referring to, and replied, “We have some leads now.”
Mr. Du’s expression changed, “When can we get a definitive answer?” He never cared about the process in his work, only the results.
“We need to confirm a few more things.” Wang Ziqi responded.
Wang Ziqi knew Mr. Du well. If he didn’t have any leads by now, Mr. Du would not be sitting back and reading the paper so tranquilly.
Mr. Du nodded, “Alright, I’m waiting for the results.”
Wang Ziqi continued, “The fourth lady called yesterday.”
Mr. Du remained silent.
Observing Mr. Du’s expression, Wang Ziqi added, “After you cut off all her funding, she’s been living poorly. Often going meal to meal…”
“She brought it upon herself. You don’t need to sympathize with people like her.” Mr. Du spoke indifferently, clearly unaffected by whatever plight the fourth lady found herself in.
