Chapter 352: Chapter 350 Trouble at the Lu Family 3_1

After the visitors left, Ruan Ruanruan, who had come to the Xia family as a guest, couldn’t help but blink her eyes in suspicion and asked Xia Ningxing, "Xiaxia, when did you start a company? What’s it called?"

How come she had never heard her mention it before?

Xia Ningxing patted her head and smiled at her, "I haven’t started it yet."

"But I’m planning to start one today. Are you free? Would you accompany me to register the company?" Xia Ningxing asked.

"Sure!" Ruan Ruanruan agreed without a second thought.

Registering a company required an application at the company registration authority.

And many documents needed to be submitted, followed by a review. If there were no issues with the review, the license would be issued.

This process would likely take about a month.

After Xia Ningxing submitted all the documents, Ruan Ruanruan hugged her arm, "Xiaxia, can I join your company?"

With a screenwriting big shot taking the initiative to join, Xia Ningxing couldn’t have been happier, "Of course you can! Welcome, warmly welcome!"

Once the license was issued, she still had to contact her cousin, Luo Xiaohua, and Lawyer Qin who gave her annual dividends, inviting him to be the legal consultant for the company.

Perhaps it was because Xia Ningxing was too enthusiastic, Ruan Ruanruan touched her nose, "Xiaxia, my writing is still quite immature. I might not be able to come up with any good scripts, so don’t look down on me. I will work hard!"

"No problem, I believe in you," Xia Ningxing patted her shoulder, encouraging her.

At that moment, the two of them were unaware that the newspapers had exploded again. The issue with Wu Wenwen was far from over.

A newspaper had exposed the news that Wu Wenwen had once isolated a female classmate in the school, leading to the girl’s depression and suicide.

The news clearly detailed the incident and even provided many photos as evidence.

Most frighteningly, Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu were actually accomplices.

Fearing that the incident would escalate and affect their daughter’s future, they directly hired someone to kill the girl’s entire family, so they wouldn’t make a fuss or sue anymore.

As soon as this news was out, the whole country was shocked, and it also drew attention to school safety concerns.

Unsurprisingly, Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu were both sentenced to death.

When Xia Ningxing heard this news, she couldn’t help but purse her lips.

She didn’t think that the Wu family’s secret, hidden for so many years, suddenly came to light just by coincidence.

Xia Ningxing, perhaps thinking of something, stood up and walked toward the Lu Family. "Lu, you were the one who investigated and exposed Wu Wenwen’s school bullying, right?"

He was sitting on the sofa reading a book when Xia Ningxing sat down beside him.

"Hmm..." Lu Tingli nodded and directly admitted, then stretched out his long arm to embrace her, whispering in her ear, "So, is Baby Xing here to reward me?"

His obsidian-like dark pupils were smilingly fixed on her, flashing with some profound meaning.

"Rogue!" Xia Ningxing understood exactly what he meant and couldn’t help but clench her fist and punch him.

This man, always looking for a reward!

"Really not giving me any reward?" Lu Tingli’s slender fingers gently pinched her chin, his fingertips continuously caressing her delicate skin.

"Fine, fine, here you go!" Unable to resist him, Xia Ningxing finally gave him a peck on the cheek, red-faced, as she coaxed the man who was like a child.

Just as they touched, a sharp and mean voice rang out, "Immoral!"

Xia Ningxing stopped what she was doing and looked up to see Old Mrs. Lu coming over with a stern face, pulling along a just-adult teenager by her side.

Old Mrs. Lu had a common, dark complexion as if she had been working in the fields all year round, which was indeed the case.

The teenager was also dark and unprepossessing, with ordinary features, even somewhat ugly. His eyes emitted a turbid light, with a hint of dark circles beneath, as if he was regularly running his body into the ground.

Lu Tingli was their close blood relative, and by rights, his features should have resembled theirs somewhat, but they did not.

Because neither Lu Tingli nor Mr. Lu was actually born to Old Mrs. Lu.

The novel records that Mr. Lu was picked up by Old Mrs. Lu back in the day. Who exactly the child belonged to was not mentioned in the story.

Initially, Old Mrs. Lu had raised Mr. Lu because she and her husband were both infertile, hoping to have someone to look after them in their old age, but unexpectedly, they had their own son three years later.

From then on, Mr. Lu became a servant in the household, and by the time he was fifteen or sixteen, he was sent away to fend for himself.

The reason for coming here now was to obtain the Lu Family’s inheritance.

How? Naturally, by killing Lu Tingli, after which the Lu Family would have no heir. At that time, she would adopt her own grandson into the Lu Family to inherit the legacy. Yes, Old Mrs. Lu planned to kill Lu Tingli and then take over the family fortune.

Thinking of this, Xia Ningxing’s fingers involuntarily clenched, her eyes revealing a cold glint, with no intention of being polite to her.

Just as she was about to retort, Lu Tingli had already spoken first, his voice cold, "Baby Xing is my partner. It is perfectly natural for her to kiss me; how is that immoral?"

"Still, you can’t do that on the sofa!" Old Mrs. Lu’s face was rigid as she tried to inject the feeling of being the head of the house.

Lu Tingli let out a scoff, rose from the sofa, and looked down at the petite old lady with disdain, "Please remember, this is my house!"

His tone carried a warning.

If it weren’t for being preoccupied with finding Baby Xing and investigating Wu Wenwen these past few days, he would have already found a way to drive her out, he wouldn’t allow her to cause trouble here.

He would not let the past repeat itself, nor would he let this dear grandmother poison him again!

"Lu Tingli, how dare you speak to an elder like that!" Old Mrs. Lu burst out in rage, pointing at him before shouting loudly, "Lu Dahai, your son is rebelling against heaven itself, daring to speak to me this way! Get out here this instant!"

"Tingli, don’t argue with your grandmother. You’re not a child anymore." Mr. Lu, who had initially not wanted to get caught in the middle, could only come out and after scolding Lu Tingli, said helplessly to Old Mrs. Lu:

"Mother, don’t take it to heart with the kids. Times have changed from our day. Nowadays, young people kissing or holding hands is no longer considered immoral."

Yet Old Mrs. Lu stood with hands on hips, in righteous indignation, "If it were just adults at home doing this, I wouldn’t bother, but my grandson is still here. What if he learns bad things?"

"My Good boy is still an innocent child; he shouldn’t see such embarrassing things!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but silently observe the ’Good boy’ mentioned.

Traditional Chinese medicine values the four diagnostic methods of inspection, listening, inquiring, and palpation and although Xia Ningxing was still a novice, she could see the kid had probably done ’it’ many times over. Just look at how frail he was. Tsk, tsk.
