Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 1181 - 1159: She Knows Her Unspeakable Secret
Ning Duoduo was so angry her head was spinning. She didn’t catch the deep meaning in Qiao Yongyong’s words and struggled. "If I’m not the Ning Family’s young lady, are you? Let go! Let go of me! You dogs! I’m your master, I’m the Ning Family’s young lady, and you dare to treat me like this... You’ve lost your minds!"
"Let go!"
A woman’s furious voice made the servants release Ning Duoduo. They looked toward Wu Huiyun, who had just come home. "Madam."
Seeing her mom returned, Ning Duoduo thought she found support and rushed over. "Mom, look how they’re treating me. They won’t let me come home to see Dad and want to kick me out. That Qiao Yongyong even asked Aunt Xia to call the guards to forcibly send me back..."
Wu Huiyun looked at Qiao Yongyong, who remained calm and unafraid, her eyes flickered, but she didn’t scold her for her beloved daughter. Instead, she patted her daughter’s back and whispered, "Go back to Lijing Mountain first. Mom knows you’re anxious and can’t stay there, but your dad is still angry. If he sees you sneaking back, he’ll be even angrier. Listen to me, go back first and endure it. With me here, I’ll surely convince your dad to bring you back soon."
Ning Duoduo, hearing her mom say this, had no choice but to swallow her anger. With the help of two servants, she left first. Before going out the door, she gave Qiao Yongyong a meaningful glare. She was, after all, the Ning Family’s young lady and would definitely be back. Just wait and see.
After the servants sent Ning Duoduo away, the living room returned to its calm.
Qiao Yongyong was a bit surprised that Wu Huiyun didn’t help her beloved daughter scold her and turned to head upstairs now that the situation was resolved.
But behind her came Wu Huiyun’s cold voice:
"Weren’t you just claiming to be the Ning Family’s young mistress? Now that your mother-in-law is back, you don’t even know to serve tea or greet her? Or has becoming the Qin Family’s daughter made you arrogant, forgetting the basic filial duties to your in-laws?"
Qiao Yongyong halted her steps and turned around. "I thought you didn’t like me hanging around in front of you."
Ever since the affair between Ning Duoduo and Gan Jinhong was exposed, Wu Huiyun had been upset with her and mostly ignored her at home.
She had also been conscientious, trying not to interact with Wu Huiyun.
Today, Wu Huiyun’s behavior was somewhat unusual.
However, since Wu Huiyun had taken the initiative to assume the posture of a mother-in-law, Qiao Yongyong didn’t want to go against her. After all, she was the daughter-in-law, and it wouldn’t do to give Wu Huiyun any leverage against her.
You want water? Then I’ll pour you a cup. It’s no big deal.
Qiao Yongyong went to the kitchen, poured a cup of warm water, and placed it in front of Wu Huiyun. "Mother-in-law, drink some water."
Wu Huiyun sipped and set it down, frowning. "Too hot."
Qiao Yongyong’s face shifted slightly, but she said nothing, went back to mix in some cool water, and gave it to her again.
Wu Huiyun took a small sip and slammed it on the coffee table, dissatisfied. "No warmth at all."
This was clearly nitpicking, retaliating for her beloved daughter? Qiao Yongyong held back, too tired to argue, and got up to switch it again.
After making Qiao Yongyong get water several times, Wu Huiyun finally calmed down a bit, drank the water, and looked at her with an air of arrogance and coldness.
Qiao Yongyong spoke up on her own: "If you’re upset about me taking matters into my own hands with Duoduo today, then let me say I don’t believe I did anything wrong."
Her voice was soft yet resolute.
Wu Huiyun didn’t refute, just said coldly: "As the Ning Family’s young mistress, you indeed have the authority. But you must understand that some things you can manage, and others don’t concern you, so don’t overstep and speak out of turn. Understand?"
This was clearly an implicit warning.
Qiao Yongyong looked at Wu Huiyun. Could she have noticed something?
Was it something she said to Ning Duoduo just now that aroused Wu Huiyun’s suspicion?
Thinking it over, Qiao Yongyong spoke, "Yes, I understand. If it doesn’t concern me, I naturally won’t interfere. But if it involves the Ning Family’s reputation or Dad being deceived, then it does concern me."
Wu Huiyun broke out in a cold sweat, her hand trembled, almost spilling the tea, and she looked at Qiao Yongyong with caution and anxiety. "You—"
Did this girl really know about her unspeakable secret?
Impossible.
The matter was buried for years. No one knew, and Liao Guodong had recently disappeared too...
Qiao Yongyong observed Wu Huiyun’s loss of composure and lightly smiled. "Don’t worry, revealing such things might disturb the peace of our home. And given Dad’s health isn’t great, as long as the involved parties behave, I naturally won’t say more."
Wu Huiyun clenched her teeth. Was she threatening her?
Whatever way she found out, it wasn’t clear how much she knew, but evidently, she seemed to know something... It looked like from now on, in the Ning Family, the daughter-in-law would be the one holding over her, and she could no longer make things difficult for her.
Qiao Yongyong asked sweetly, "Mother-in-law, do you need anything else? If not, I’ll go upstairs to study for a bit."
Wu Huiyun suppressed her unease, reluctantly calming herself. "Okay."
Qiao Yongyong gracefully left.
...
Going upstairs, closing the door behind her, she exhaled a deep breath.
Just days ago, she got the DNA results of hair she pulled from Liao Guodong’s head, leading to the discovery of a secret Wu Huiyun had kept hidden for over twenty years.
Her first instinct at the time was to drag the captive Liao Guodong from the warehouse and reveal everything to the Ning Family!
But after cooling down for a moment, she decided against it for now.
Ning Xiaochuan’s heart wasn’t in good condition, and she wasn’t sure if her actions might shock him. After all, it was a big deal.
If Ning Xiaochuan couldn’t take it on the spot and something happened, wouldn’t she be blamed forever!?
Therefore, this matter, for now, she decided not to tell Ning Xiaochuan.
At least, it warranted a conversation with Brother Yixiao first.
As she pondered, her phone buzzed in her pocket.
Seeing it was the bodyguard’s call, she quickly answered.
Since instructing the bodyguard to confine Liao Guodong in a warehouse that day, she had orders to be notified immediately of any situation there.
Answering the call, the voice from the other side reported, "Liao Guodong is making a fuss to get out. He just seized a chance while we weren’t watching to cut his rope with a piece of scrap iron from the warehouse. He accidentally cut his hand, bleeding a lot, and is still making a scene about leaving."
She furrowed her brows. "I’ll be right over."
Hanging up the phone, she quickly went downstairs and exited the Ning Family residence.
Aunt Xia saw her leaving and chased to the door, asking, "The young mistress is going out? Should I prepare a car for you?"
"No need. I’m going to Le Wen’s house, I’ll be back soon." Qiao Yongyong replied.
Aunt Xia, seeing it was the young mistress’ classmate’s house, said no more and went back inside.
Qiao Yongyong hailed a taxi by the roadside and gave the warehouse’s address.
