Chapter 559 Bai Xi is up to something (2)
Suddenly, footsteps sounded outside. Luo Ning rushed into the courtyard and was shocked to see Liu Aihong swallow a pill.
"Mom, are you sick?" Luo Ning rushed into the main room and grabbed Liu Aihong's wrist.
Luo Ning's gaze secretly drifted towards Ling Wei, who blinked twice.
Bai Xi wasn't made of artificial leather; she was real leather, ready to go head-to-head with her own skin. Luo Ning quickly put Bai Xi in her place.
"No, I'm just a little dizzy. Your aunt recommended her dizziness medication to me." Liu Aihong's gaze flickered, but she didn't forget to comfort Luo Ning.
"I didn't sleep well last night, but I'll be fine after a good night's sleep."
Luo Ning could practically confirm that her mother was lying and that she and Ling Wei had been threatened.
"Ah Ning, you're too nervous!" Bai Xi said with a smile. She saw Luo Baiwan walk in and got straight to the point.
"Young man, how did the talks go?"
Luo Baiwan shook his head. "I tried my best, but Da Ya disagreed."
"Useless," Bai Xi thought angrily, her fists clenching unconsciously behind her back.
If she fails to bring Luo Ning back this time, James' heart transplant surgery cannot proceed, and her and Luo Qi's return to the castle will become a pipe dream.
But she also had to go back; James had only given her this much time, and once it expired, she wouldn't be able to go back.
Although Luo Ning didn't find anything wrong when he examined Liu Aihong's pulse, it didn't mean she was fine. Some evil things have an incubation period.
"Mom, what works for Auntie might not work for you. This is a one-time thing, don't let it happen again!"
Luo Ning wore a little red hat and specifically lured away ignorant old ladies from the foot of the mountain.
"Oh!" Liu Aihong nodded; she trusted Daya's medical skills.
"This is what your aunt gave me to eat. I think it's pretty good. I'm not dizzy anymore."
Liu Aihong voluntarily handed the medicine to Luo Ning to prove that she had not taken the medicine indiscriminately.
However, her poor acting skills betrayed her true nature.
Luo Ning glanced at the medicine box with three empty pills, then casually put it in her pocket. "I also have headaches. Foreign medicines are naturally the best. Aunt, you don't mind, do you?"
"Of course!" Bai Xi nodded, her demeanor dignified, though she was already panicking inside.
"Ah Ning, the environment abroad is much better, why don't you come with me!"
Bai Xi was undeterred and continued to lobby.
Luo Ning stared straight at her, his gaze unfathomable.
Bai Xi was a typical noblewoman with a strong aura, directly facing Luo Ning's scrutiny.
The air suddenly froze, time stopped, the world blurred, and the two exchanged sharp, piercing glances.
Luo Ning dispelled all the murderous aura on his body.
Bai Xi was no match for them and was defeated, cold sweat pouring from her forehead.
"Auntie, you're so weak!" Luo Ning grabbed Bai Xi's wrist, seemingly taking her pulse, but actually using her mental power to severely damage Bai Xi's arm.
She lazily slipped her other hand into her pocket, looking at Bai Xi with an innocent smile.
Unable to bear the devastation of the collapsing sky, Bai Xi screamed involuntarily, only to feel a chill run down her throat as soon as she opened her mouth.
Her heart sank to the bottom, and a white sweat broke out on her back.
"My aunt has taken my specially concocted tonic, and I guarantee you'll live to be ten thousand years old!"
Bai Xi suffered a loss she couldn't speak of; her heart was filled with endless desires.
Luo Baiwan sensed something unusual, and his brows furrowed.
Zhou Ling hurriedly walked into the yard, wanting to discuss something with Liu Aihong, but found the atmosphere at home was strange. What had happened?
Wow, it feels so good to have someone deliver a pillow when you're sleepy!
Luo Ning released Bai Xi, put his arm around Liu Aihong's shoulder and walked out. "Mom, today is the anniversary of Grandpa's death. My aunt has come to call you. Hurry up and prepare the offerings."
The old man's death anniversary is at the end of the year, there's still some time to go, Liu Aihong subconsciously wanted to refute.
Clearly sensing something was wrong, Zhou Ling seized the opportunity and pulled Liu Aihong outside, saying, "Little sister, Yanzi and I are all ready. You don't need to do anything, just come with us!"
Luo Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief and pushed Ling Wei outside, saying, "You must have been feeling cooped up these past few days. I'll take you out for some fresh air."
As Luo Ning passed by Luo Baiwan, she said calmly, "Dad, aren't you supposed to have a meeting at ten o'clock?"
Luo Baiwan checked the time and realized it was already past eight o'clock. He hurriedly walked out, saying, "Sis, I'll take you home at noon!"
“Okay!” Bai Xi nodded, maintaining her composure even after being tricked by Luo Ning.
In the blink of an eye, only Bai Xi was left at home. She couldn't hold on any longer and staggered back to her room.
A few minutes later, Bai Xi, carrying a leather suitcase, left the village in a horse-drawn carriage as if her rear end was on fire.
She needs to get to Jiang Province before 1 p.m. today; she's already booked her plane ticket.
After traversing a difficult, rough road, Luo Feng sprinted towards the highway, heading towards her destined destination.
Although I still don't understand how all of this happened today, it doesn't matter anymore.
Her top priority was to go to Jiangbei City to meet the younger brother of the owner of the largest garment factory; she was determined to seize this opportunity.
Once she succeeds in her blind date, she can use her man's influence to seize Luo Ning's assets, and she will still be a phoenix on a branch.
A hand-operated tractor came speeding towards Luo Feng, and there was no way to avoid it, so they had a close encounter.
After a loud bang, the tractor continued speeding along the road, but Luo Feng had vanished without a trace.
Today was market day, and there were many pedestrians on the road who could see everything clearly. Some people from Qing'an Village couldn't help but look towards the ditch by the roadside, and they started talking about it.
"Retribution! This is retribution! Heaven has finally opened its eyes!"
"What goes around comes around! That bitch Luo Feng deserves it!"
"Alright, Old Lady Luo took the money from the Liu family next door, so now Luo Feng can be sent there directly for a ghost marriage."
The tractor driver was completely flustered and stammered, "Uncles and aunts, it was that girl who was crossing the road, it had nothing to do with me!"
The onlookers collectively expressed their willingness to testify for the tractor driver, saying they had all witnessed what had just happened.
The Luo family members were driven out and lingered by the roadside. They quickly received the news and rushed to the scene.
When Old Lady Luo saw Luo Feng, who had been hit and killed, her eyes rolled back and she almost fainted.
The others remained silent, their faces ashen. They lingered, hoping for a change of fortune from Luo Feng, but...
After crying and making a scene for a while, Grandma Luo got 200 yuan in compensation from the tractor driver and told Luo Lao Er to quickly take Luo Feng to Liujia Village.
An hour later, a new grave rose up on the hill behind Liujia Village.
Not far away, Luo Ning and his group were paying their respects at his grandfather's grave.
Chen Fan walked to Luo Ning's side and lowered his voice to report the matter.
"Great!" Luo Ning's lips curled up slightly. The old lady Luo's wish to arrange a ghost marriage for her granddaughter had finally come true with Luo Feng. It was truly a cause for celebration.
What a quirky way to love your granddaughter! She's got a real knack for tricking her, even building her a home down below.
Luo Ning walked to Ling Wei's side, rested his hands on the armrests of the wheelchair, and interrogated her from above, "What happened at home just now?"
