Chapter 658 Old Lady Xie's Mischief (3)
Chapter 658 Old Lady Xie's Mischief (3)
"Colonel Liang, could you please hire a lawyer for me? Some people think I'm a lump of dough, all kneaded and molded." Luo Ning climbed the pole to the top, thinking that if Old Lady Xie went to eat some prison food, she'd probably sober up a bit.
"Sure, I've got it covered!" Liang Qiao patted her chest and gave her a guarantee.
"I know all the top-tier lawyers in Jidu and the capital. I can find you a good one and guarantee I can help you achieve your wish!"
A thunderbolt struck Old Mrs. Xie's mind. She barely managed to stand by the windowsill, and with her arms crossed, she put on a show of bravado, "Luo Ning, don't let outsiders instigate you. Who's trying to sabotage you?"
Luo Ning ignored Grandma Xie and said apologetically to Liang Qiao, "Colonel Liang, I have some family matters to attend to."
"Okay, I'll come to your place tonight!" Liang Qiao said, and quickly left.
Yang Zheng was secretly wondering if he should also avoid the situation. As soon as the thought crossed his mind, he left the office and closed the door behind him.
Luo Ning turned his gaze and announced the policy to Grandma Xie, "Now you have two paths in front of you. The first is that Xie Changguo, Xie Changtai, and Xie Chang'an will share the alimony equally."
Secondly, Xie Chang'an will support you, and you must sever ties with your other sons. Anyway, you've already severed ties with Xie Changguo and Xie Changle; you're just one step away from doing it right!
"Impossible!" Old Mrs. Xie firmly disagreed. Luo Ning was too cunning; she thought she would get nothing.
Xie Changtai stood beside his mother, acting as her dutiful son. He had been reciting what he needed to say to his mother for months, adding to the points he hadn't made clear.
Luo Ning looked at Old Madam Xie with a forced smile, "Then I'll find you a third way. You've raised Xie Chang'an for over ten years, and all of Xie Chang'an's allowances for those ten years have been sent to you. What he owes you has been paid back. From now on, he has nothing to do with your Xie family!"
Grandma Xie's eyes rolled back, and she was about to faint in a second.
Xie Changtai hurriedly helped her up and angrily denounced Luo Ning, "Luo Ning, you've gone too far! How can the debt of gratitude for raising us be repaid? Look how angry you've made Mom! Apologize right now!"
The nearly fainting old lady Xie seized the opportunity, saying, "I don't want her to apologize, I just want Xie Chang'an to go back to the Ke family!"
Tsk tsk, now they've finally shown their true colors. All that allowance and support was just a smokescreen; this was Old Lady Xie's real intention.
All of this is thanks to that trash Xie Changtai, damn it!
Luo Ning's sharp gaze swept over Xie Changtai for a moment.
Sensing danger, Xie Changtai pushed Old Lady Xie in front to shield her.
This is the good son that Grandma Xie raised! Luo Ning suddenly didn't want to separate the mother and son anymore, and wanted to watch Grandma Xie be abandoned...
"Ge Langxian, you have no shame! You abused Xie Chang'an when he was little, and you exploit him now that he's grown up. What gives you the right to do this!" Luo Ning approached Old Madam Xie step by step, like a demon crawling out of hell.
"You lowly servant who gave birth to a stillborn child, how dare you defile my husband like this? Who gave you the audacity?!"
Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning after doing so many despicable things?
"Now you still dare to order him to go to the Ke family? Huh!" Luo Ning walked up to Old Madam Xie, his face almost touching hers.
Grandma Xie was as if struck by lightning, completely unable to move, and her whole body was ice cold.
One sentence kept repeating in her mind: How could she know about something that happened so long ago...?
"From today onwards, if you dare to make a move on Xie Chang'an again, I'll kill you, you old bastard!"
The door slammed shut, jolting Xie Changtai awake from his daze. "Mom, what's going on?"
Grandma Xie could no longer hold on and slid to the ground, tears streaming down her face.
Xie Changtai helped Old Lady Xie up and walked out of the office.
This isn't the place to talk; he needs to find somewhere else to ask properly.
When Yang Zheng returned from the Second Regiment and saw the two figures leaving, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At the main gate of the military region, Luo Ning walked up to the soldiers on guard.
The soldier immediately saluted, "Colonel Luo!"
Luo Ning returned the greeting and gave a special instruction, "Comrade, please do not let Xie Changtai and that old lady in again after today. If anyone comes from Jiangbei to look for Xie Chang'an, please contact me immediately."
"Okay, I understand!" The soldier nodded respectfully.
The news of the trouble caused by Battalion Commander Xie's hometown people at Regiment Commander Yang's place had spread throughout the military region; it was impossible for him not to know.
How could Battalion Commander Xie, such a good person, have gotten involved with someone like that?
"Thank you!" Luo Ning set up the access control, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and left quickly.
After Xie Changtai and his mother settled in a guesthouse near the military region, Xie Changtai couldn't wait to ask, "Mom, what exactly happened?"
Grandma Xie was suddenly overcome with grief, and with tears streaming down her face, she could not speak clearly.
Luo Ning returned home and recalled what Xiang Dong had found out.
It turns out that when Grandma Xie was about to give birth, she felt like there was no movement in her belly.
They rushed to the city hospital for a checkup and found that the fetus had died in utero, and the only option was to induce labor.
On that very day, the doctor performed a transfusion surgery and welcomed the birth of a baby boy.
That same day, Grandma Xie was discharged from the hospital. When she went home, she brought a child with her, and that child was Xie Chang'an.
Another woman discharged from the hospital at the same time was named Wan Juying.
The case has been solved; it turns out that Old Lady Xie stole someone else's son.
She had no feelings for Xie Chang'an because she probably thought that Xie Chang'an had caused the death of her son, so she took Xie Chang'an away and made him pay off her son's debts, which lasted for 28 years.
That old hag deserves to go to hell.
No, fry them in oil!
That induced abortion severely damaged Mrs. Xie's health, rendering her unable to conceive again.
Let's use our toes to figure out how Xie Changle came to be.
Luo Ning checked the time; it was already 12:30. She went to the Quan family home and called Xie Changle. "If Xie Changtai or anyone from the Ke family comes looking for you, you are not allowed to go with them."
Xie Changle: "..."
At this moment, in the guesthouse, Old Lady Xie tearfully recounted how she gave birth to a stillborn child and how she bribed the nurses to switch the baby.
"That child is Xie Chang'an?" Xie Changtai plopped down on the bed. Xie Chang'an had no relation to the Xie family at all, and had been tormented by his mother for so many years.
It's all over now; Xie Changtai's heart is completely cold.
His dream of returning to his ancestral roots and living a life of resting on his laurels was shattered in an instant.
"Mom, why don't you treat Xie Chang'an better?"
"Why should I be good to him? He's the one who killed my son, so he should be treated like a slave by my family!" Old Mrs. Xie said with complete self-righteousness, without any remorse for her crimes.
"You..." Xie Changtai was furious and stormed around the room.
"I'm still hoping that Xie Chang'an is my brother, and that I can win him over with brotherly affection and bring him to the Ke family. That way, the Ke family will let me return to my ancestral home."
But it turns out Xie Chang'an has absolutely no connection to me or my family. The Ke family definitely won't acknowledge me. You've really ruined me!"
Grandma Xie panicked instantly, pacing around Xie Changtai in circles. "Only Luo Ning knows about this. I'll go beg her. As long as she doesn't tell, everything will be fine."
Xie Changtai stopped and glanced at Old Madam Xie. "Luo Ning is right. Why is your face so big?"
Luo Ning is not an easy person to talk to. Have you forgotten how you treated Luo Ning and her family before?
You think she'll shut up if you beg her? No way.
"Xie Chang'an probably already knows. All you do is cause trouble all day long, never try to accumulate any good karma. You've really gotten me into serious trouble!"
Xie Changtai grew angrier the more he thought about it, slammed the door shut, and stormed off.
