My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 228

Ning Ziqiang was a bas***d. He clearly knew how to get to Ning Ran. He knew she couldn’t bear to see her mother’s belongings be mishandled.

Ning Ran never believed in witchcraft, but she could not stand any disrespectful behavior against her dead mother.

Ning Ran could only agree to it and head to the restaurant Luo Yi had booked.

It was more of a small eatery than a restaurant. It didn’t even have private rooms.

Ning Ran immediately caught sight of a middle-aged woman sitting at a table. It was Luo Yi. She had aged, no longer adorned with jewelry.

Her hairstyle was still the same, except that she had thicker makeup now. She was trying to hide her sagging skin with heavy makeup.

“Ran, please come over. Sit!”

Luo Yi pretended to be enthusiastic as she greeted Ning Ran. However, her eyes were filled with hatred.

Ning Ran walked over, expressionless, and asked, “Where are my mother’s belongings?”

“Take a seat. Don’t rush. Let’s eat,” Luo Yi beckoned.

“I don’t have time to waste with you. Hand over my mother’s belongings now! I don’t care what it is, return them all to me,” Ning Ran yelled.

“How short-tempered of you!. We have not met for so long. I initially asked your father to invite you home but thought you wouldn’t be willing since there are many misunderstandings between us. That is why I chose this place instead. Don’t be so hostile, we can talk while we eat.”

Luo Yi signaled for the owner of the eatery to have the food served. Ning Ran realized there was no point in being fretful. She had no alternative but to sit down.

But she didn’t eat as she didn’t have the appetite.

Ning Ziqiang and Luo Yi were enjoying the food, even praising the food as they ate.

Ning Ran looked at her watch anxiously. School had ended for her kids. She had wanted to pick them up but was still engaged here.

She would not be able to make it on time. Thus, she texted Qiao Zhan, saying, “Captain Qiao, something suddenly came up. I won’t be able to pick up the kids anymore. Please help me pick them up.”

“You should eat some too, Ran. The dishes here are really good even though it’s just a small eatery,” Ning Ziqiang beckoned Ning Ran.

“What do both of you want? Stop beating around the bush. I don’t have time to waste with the two of you,” Ning Ran said coldly.

“Ran, grab a bite first. We can talk about it after this meal,” Luo Yi also beckoned Ning Ran.

“Spit it out!” Ning Ran was getting angry.

Ning Ziqiang signaled Luo Yi with a glance to talk.

Luo Yi put her chopsticks down and said, “Ran, it is such… the economy has been bad these two years, business is badly affected, and the company has been poorly managed. We owe a huge debt…”

“What does it have to do with me?” Ning Ran cut off Luo Yi.

“Don’t worry, please hear me out. We don’t need you to pay off our debts. However, your father is growing ill these days.”

Luo Yi gave Ning Ziqiang a look when she said that. Ning Ziqiang immediately placed his chopsticks down and coughed. How very cooperative of him.

Ning Ran watched them act coldly and kept her silence.

“The hospital has diagnosed him with cancer. He needs a huge sum of money for treatment. He wouldn’t be able to survive for more than half a year if he doesn’t get treatment immediately…” Luo Yi cried.

Luo Yi paused. She didn’t let Ning Ziqiang act this time around. It was her turn.

She wasn’t able to squeeze out tears no matter how hard she tried. It was amusing to see her trying so hard.
