Chapter 942: 230: The Truth Emerging from the Surface_2
Ni Yan gave a slight smile but did not directly answer Liu’s father’s question and instead said, "Uncle, if you really are Grandma Liu’s relatives, she will tell you when the time comes."
"Alright," Liu’s father nodded. "Let’s get going then."
It was only then that Liu Ru realized that Ni Yan had also come.
Liu Ru was wearing a light blue cheongsam, with a tassel of the same color hanging from the button on the chest side, concealing a translucent, dripping jade stone within the light tassel.
Liu Ru had a tall figure. Although her skin was dark, her overall facial features were delicate. This outfit significantly softened her usual aggressive demeanor, giving her a bit of a graceful beauty.
However, the person standing opposite her today was Ni Yan.
Coincidentally, Ni Yan was also wearing a cheongsam today, a plain white one with a red jade clasp that matched the red edge of her hair clip. As she moved, the jade swayed, shimmering brilliantly.
Her eyebrows seemed like distant mountains, not drawn yet naturally dark; her lips appeared as if dabbed with sand, naturally red without emphasis.
With such a dazzling person in front, Liu Ru’s beauty seemed somewhat insufficient.
Liu Ru tugged at her skirt and looked up at Ni Yan, her eyebrows tightly furrowed.
This wretched girl, she must have done it on purpose! Knowing that she was going to wear a cheongsam today, so she followed suit. She wanted to steal her spotlight!
Perhaps, she wanted to compete for affection as well.
She aimed to steal Grandma’s love and then take the opportunity to swindle Grandma’s property.
Shameless!
Once she and Grandma recognized each other, she would make Ni Yan stay far away!
Ni Yan had better not think about stealing her things.
The group walked out of the mansion.
There were two cars outside, one belonging to the Liu Family and one to Ni Yan.
Ni Yan walked to her car, opened the door, and said, "I’ll lead the way."
Liu’s father was startled!
Goodness!
This young comrade could even drive.
Impressive!
"Alright, thank you, young comrade," Liu’s father managed to suppress his astonishment and nodded.
Ni Yan got into the car, closed the door, started the engine, and drove off, all in one fluid motion, radiating an indescribable coolness.
Seeing this, Liu Ru was taken aback.
She had thought Ni Yan was just a poor girl; unexpectedly, she could also drive!
Where did she get the money to buy a car?
Could it be that she had already swindled Grandma’s property?
The more Liu Ru thought, the more she believed it was the case.
Jiu Wentang and Liu Ru shared the same thought.
She couldn’t believe that Ni Yan, a mere girl, could afford to buy a car.
It seemed that Ni Yan was really something else! To even deceive the old lady out of her money!
Jiu Wentang narrowed her eyes.
To accommodate the driver following behind, Ni Yan deliberately slowed down.
"Dad, I want to learn to drive too," Liu Ru shook Liu’s father’s arm.
"No, it’s too dangerous for girls to drive." Liu’s father refused.
"I want to learn, daddy, please agree..." Liu Ru began to act coquettishly, "Daddy, my dear daddy..."
Liu Qi hissed, "Can you not disgust me? Xiaoru, take my advice, you really aren’t suited to act coquettishly; I’m getting goosebumps all over!"
"Daddy, brother is bullying me..." Liu Ru continued her act.
Liu Qi was almost at his wit’s end and turned on the car radio, turning up the volume.
The car sped along, soon arriving at Jinghua Village.
Unlike the impoverished hinterland imagined, every household in Jinghua Village was connected by a concrete road, and workers were installing street lights along the roadsides. 𝓷ℴ𝓋𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝒸𝓸𝓶
Jiu Wentang expressed surprise, "There are even street lights in the countryside now!"
Looking at the scenery outside the window, Liu’s father exclaimed, "It seems that Beijing has developed much faster than we imagined these past years!"
Liu’s mother added, "The environment here is really nice, filled with the scent of birds and flowers. It looks like my elder sister has had a better life here these past years than I imagined. Where we live, many places still don’t have street lights."
At this moment, street lights were only installed on bustling streets.
Liu’s father sighed, "Seeing that she has been doing well, I feel relieved."
The car in front stopped in front of a run-down house.
Liu Qi quickly slowed down and pulled over.
Ni Yan opened the car door and stepped out, "This is the place, uncle and aunt, please get out."
Once out of the car, Liu’s father looked at the very dilapidated house in front of him, his eyes slightly reddened, and said, "Has she been living in such a place all these years?"
When he saw that the village was installing street lights, he had thought that she had been living well these years. Little did he expect that she had been dwelling in such a place.
