Ever since Xue Lang escaped, Lin Ning has been in a state of confusion.
The police interrogated her for a long time, and she pretended to be greatly stimulated and an innocent victim. She went crazy and did not let them get any useful information.
However, after the police left, Lin Ning almost collapsed on her bed.
She opened her big eyes and stared at the floor-to-ceiling windows outside. She felt that the usually warm sky was cut into pieces by a knife, and the whirling tree shadows turned into man-eating devils. They looked very strange.
Horrible outside.
Suddenly a strong wind blew outside, making the window lattice crackle, as if the bedroom window was about to be shattered.
Lin Ning subconsciously curled up into the corner of the bed. Even the silk quilt covering her body had no warmth at all.
Thinking of the harsh words the police used to interrogate him today, as well as his father's angry and distrustful eyes, Lin Ning suddenly sat upright with the quilt wrapped around him, feeling extremely frightened.
There was never a moment when she wished Xue Lang could escape.
If once he falls into the law, what will he do if he gets rid of himself as an accomplice?
Now she is notorious enough. She has transformed from a pure and beautiful girl to a shameful one, coupled with her bad scandals, from an adopted daughter to a sojourner. She has fallen heavily from the altar of the entertainment industry and has been shattered to pieces. Until now,
He was overwhelmed and his chance of comeback was far away.
If, coupled with the news that she was harboring a major criminal and having an affair with him, was spread, she would never be able to turn around in her life. And the most frightening thing is that she would most likely be kicked out of the Lin family.
I must be as miserable as a dog...
No, this is definitely not the result she wants.
Thinking of that tragic scene, Lin Ning was shocked and angry, and her eyes changed from blurred and confused to even colder and more penetrating.
She would never allow that to happen!
Just as Lin Ning was thinking about countermeasures in the room, there was a sudden knock on the door. It was Aunt Lin's voice: "Miss Ning Ning, Mr. Lin, Mrs. Lin, and Mr. Mu, the eldest lady is waiting for you in the living room.
, they said they have something to ask you, can you come out?"
Lin Ning's body suddenly stiffened and she shrank her head in retreat.
She originally wanted to continue pretending to be crazy, but thinking that her father, who had always been upright, and Mu Shaoling, who was as shrewd as a fox, was not easy to fool, she immediately decided that it would be better to go down with the nanny. Otherwise, the more she evades, the more she will look like
I feel guilty.
Seeing that there was no answer in the room for a long time, Mrs. Lin knocked on the door a little urgently, with a hint of urgency: "Miss Ningning, Mr. and Mrs. want you to come down. They said that if you insist on not going down, you can only do it yourself."
'Please' you come."
After pondering for a moment, Lin Ning could only say: "I, I have a headache, wait a moment, I'll go down right away."
"Then I'll wait here for the young lady to come out. Please hurry up. The husband and wife seem to be in a hurry."
As soon as Mrs. Lin finished speaking, Lin Ning suddenly opened the door.
Her face was as pale as a ghost, and she stared at her eerily, which made Mrs. Lin's scalp numb and gave her a shuddering feeling that she was being targeted by a life-seeking ghost.
Mrs. Lin immediately thought of the cold and ruthless threat she had made to her that day, and stammered: "Second, Miss Second..."
Lin Ning glanced at her coldly, then held on to the stairs, looking very weak, and walked towards the first floor.
…
Living room on the first floor.
The atmosphere in the hall was extremely solemn. Lin Wen was sitting in the main seat with his serious lips pursed.
Zhou Qing was leaning on the sofa next to him, looking exhausted.
Mu Shaoling and Ruan Bai were sitting opposite each other, talking quietly.
When he saw Lin Ning coming downstairs, the living room where they were still talking suddenly became quiet, and all four pairs of eyes fell on Lin Ning.
Especially the gazes of Lin Wenzheng and Mu Shaoling were extremely sharp, as if they could peer into the deepest secrets of people's hearts.
Lin Ning suddenly felt his scalp numb, and he staggered on his feet. He walked down stiffly, and weakly Lin Wenzheng and Zhou Qing shouted: "Dad, Mom..."
Seeing Lin Ning coming down, Zhou Qing couldn't help but stood up from the sofa.
She waved her hand to her second daughter, her voice still seemed weak: "Ning Ning, are you okay? What is going on? How did I hear that Xue Lang escaped from your room? Did he hurt anyone?
You, come here quickly and let mom take a look..."
Completely unlike his father's aggressive questioning, Zhou Qing's words contained strong concern and worry, which made Lin Ning shed tears uncontrollably.
However, a trace of inexplicable guilt just rose in her heart, but when she found Mu Shaoling's cold and scrutinizing eyes falling on her, she was shocked.
Lin Ning quickly restrained her emotions and flew directly into Zhou Qing's arms, sobbing so hard that she felt aggrieved: "Mom, this matter really has nothing to do with me. I don't know Xue Lang at all, and I don't know Xue Lang at all."
I know how the gangster sneaked into my room. He...he not only raped me, but also threatened me not to tell anyone, otherwise he would kill our whole family..."
"He is a soldier. He has been in the special forces. He is brutal and rude. I am a helpless lamb in front of him...Mom, I am also a victim. Why can't you believe me? You
Look at how I was ravaged by that beast, I, I have no choice..."
Lin Ning directly pulled his sleeves up to his forearms, revealing bruises and bruises on his slender arms, which was shocking.
Then she pulled her top down to her chest, and her white collarbone was covered with bloodstains and bruises. It was shocking to see the traces of abuse.
Zhou Qing couldn't bear to look at it anymore.
She patted her shoulders that were shaking from crying, her loving mother's heart hurting as if being stabbed by needles: "My poor child... Ning Ning, don't cry. Mom will make the decision for you if anything happens. I will definitely
I won’t let that heartless bastard go! Can you tell mom exactly what’s going on? Don’t cry..."
Lin Ning saw that his "soft policy" was having an effect, and the corners of his lips curved in a cunning arc where no one else could see.
Zhou Qing has always been soft-hearted and launched an offensive of tears and grievances against her. She will definitely trust him unconditionally. Now she is his only protection and support in the Lin family.
However, the next second, Ruan Bai's elegant voice sounded, and each word was like a sharp blade, piercing Lin Ning's heart: "My sister said that she didn't know Xue Lang, so how did you know that he had been in the special forces?
You said he broke into your room and raped you, but there are so many people in the Lin family, why didn't you call for help?"
