Chapter 424 Death by Hitting a Wall

When the Lin family moved to Country C, Lin Wanrong also moved there.

Although her identity has not been officially announced to the public, everyone in the Lin family regards her as the eldest daughter of the Lin family.

Later, she grew up, graduated from university, and lived up to the expectations of the Lin family, becoming outstanding and beautiful.

Finally, Lin Jingcheng agreed to give her a proper status, allowing Lin Yueheng and Chu Yao to officially adopt her.

Lin Wanrong thought that her efforts and sacrifices over the years had finally paid off.

But what was the result?

In the detention center, Lin Wanrong suddenly started banging her head against the wall.

Even with blood streaming down her face, she was still smiling.

The other female prisoners all thought Lin Wanrong had gone mad, and they were all terrified.

However, Lin Wanrong laughed and then cried, alternating between laughter and tears.

When Lu Junyan recovered from his cold, he and Jiang Ning heard that Lin Wanrong had committed suicide in the detention center.

He died by banging his head against the wall.

Upon hearing this news, Jiang Ning remained silent, showing neither the joy and satisfaction of seeing a bad person get their comeuppance, nor any sympathy for Lin Wanrong.

Lin Wanrong confessed to murdering Lin Jingcheng, and there is conclusive evidence that she altered the will.

After losing the Lin family as her protector, Lin Wanrong's sentence has no chance of being mitigated.

Therefore, Lin Wanrong knew that she could not escape death no matter what, which is why she chose to commit suicide.

In Lin Wanrong's eyes, being publicly sentenced to death without going to trial might actually be a kind of dignity!

The news of Lin Wanrong's suicide naturally reached Lin Yueheng and Chu Yao's ears.

If they had any feelings for Lin Wanrong before, those feelings had been completely worn away during the time Lin Wanrong kept them under house arrest.

Today, Lin Yueheng has once again arrived at the imperial city of Country C.

The Lin Group has changed its chief lawyer, replacing him with Shen Feiyang.

All shareholders of the Lin Group unanimously voted that Jiang Ning should take over the Lin Group.

However, Jiang Ning himself has yet to respond.

Lin Yueheng came today to persuade Jiang Ning.

But Jiang Ning seemed to be deliberately avoiding him, and flew back to City A with Lu Junyan.

Jiang Ning hadn't yet figured out how to handle the Lin Group.

Logically speaking, she is the only legal heir in Lin Jingcheng's will.

Given her current status and reputation in both the political and business circles of Country C, no one would object to her taking over the Lin Group.

Her identity as the daughter of the Lin family has been made public online, and there's no point in her trying to hide it anymore.

However, she was really not ready to return to the Lin family.

Lu Junyan stayed by her side, neither advising her to accept nor to reject the offer.

He simply said to her, "I think Xiaoman is here."

Jiangning also wants to reach Xiaoman (the seventh month of the lunar calendar).

So, she and Lu Junyan flew back to City A to visit Xiaoman, which conveniently allowed them to avoid Lin Yueheng.

While Jiang Ning and Lu Junyan were in Country C, Xiao Man never left the Lu family's old house.

If there is any place in the world that is the safest for Xiaoman, it can only be the Lu family home.

This marks Jiang Ning's return to the Lu family's old residence after many years.

She was stunned as soon as she entered the courtyard.

"This...is the Lu family's old residence?!"

Jiang Ning turned to ask Lu Junyan, and saw Lu Junyan give a wry smile.

"Grandpa arranged this for Xiaoman, you know..."

No, she doesn't understand.

Jiang Ning stared wide-eyed as the once elegant and sophisticated courtyard had been transformed into a large amusement park.

The park offers everything from non-motorized rainbow slides, trampolines, and inflatable castles to powered carousels, double flying rides, and mini roller coasters.

Just as Jiang Ning was at a loss, the door of the Lu family's old mansion opened.

"Mother!"

Xiaoman stumbled out.

Unexpectedly, the first person to come out to greet him was Xiaoman, and Jiang Ning quickly ran over.

Xiaoman is now over a year old. Although she can walk, she is not very steady. Jiang Ning can tell that Xiaoman has missed her for a long time and her two chubby little legs wish they could run as fast as they can.

Jiang Ning was afraid that Xiao Man would fall, so he quickly went over and picked her up.

"Mother……"

Xiaoman's big, watery eyes reddened, and he felt like crying, but because he was a boy, he had to bravely hold back.

Jiang Ning noticed Xiao Man's patient demeanor and found her adorable, so he couldn't resist giving her a kiss on her round cheek.

Xiaoman was kissed by her mother after a long time, and she was so happy that she danced around in Jiangning's arms.

But he was still not satisfied.

After Jiang Ning kissed her, she kept calling out, "Daddy! Daddy Daddy Daddy... Aba abababa..."

With so many "ba"s, Jiang Ning couldn't tell whether Xiaoman was having trouble speaking clearly or genuinely wanted to find her father.

Your father is not here right now.

After Jiang Ning finished speaking to Xiao Man, he immediately received a protest from Xiao Man.

This was the first time Xiaoman had ever been so restless in Jiangning's arms.

"Daddy! Daddy!"

His small hands were clearly reaching out to Lu Junyan.

"Let me do it!"

Lu Junyan took Xiaoman from Jiang Ning's hands.

Jiang Ning originally didn't want to give it.

She didn't want Xiaoman to become more and more attached to Lu Junyan.

But Xiaoman was making such a fuss that she had no choice but to hand her over to Lu Junyan.

Lu Junyan hugged Xiaoman and kissed her on the other cheek.

Now, Xiaoman was overjoyed. Her cute little face beamed with joy, her eyes filled with pride and satisfaction, as if to say: Look, my mom and dad kissed me.

Jiang Ning shrugged and gave a wry smile.

At this moment, another person came out of the house.

"Xiao Ning..."

The person who came was none other than Lu Lifeng.

Jiang Ning stepped forward and came to Lu Lifeng.

Lu Lifeng's eyes immediately welled up with tears when he saw Jiang Ning.

When he learned of the Jiangning air disaster, he, who hadn't shed a tear in years, couldn't help but cry.

I never expected Jiang Ning to still be alive.

"Come here, let Grandpa take a good look at you."

Lu Lifeng patted Jiang Ning on the shoulder and looked him up and down.

"Yes, you've become even more beautiful."

Jiang Ning was amused by Lu Lifeng's words.

She felt that Lu Lifeng had lost weight and looked older. Although he was still quite energetic, the signs of aging were particularly evident on him.

Was it her faked death that dealt a significant blow to Lu Lifeng?

Thinking about this, Jiang Ning couldn't help but feel guilty.

"Grandpa... I'll cook tonight!"

Jiang Ning took the initiative to say this.

In her view, all she could do for Lu Lifeng was to let him taste her cooking.

"Xiao Ning is so filial!" Lu Lifeng's eyes welled up with tears. "But you and Junyan just got back, so tonight I'll treat you both to a welcome-back dinner... Come on, don't stand outside, come inside!"

Lu Lifeng invited Jiang Ning in, followed closely by Lu Junyan, who was holding Xiaoman.

As soon as Jiang Ning entered the living room, he saw Lu Yexiong and Yang Liyun sitting on the sofa.

She was taken aback.

She hadn't expected Lu Yexiong and Yang Liyun to be at the old house at this time.

For some reason, Jiang Ning had a feeling that Lu Yexiong and Yang Liyun were waiting for her here.
