Celebrity Girl Is My Wife

Chapter 801

Ning Ran was still bemused as to why Ou Ling would ask those questions under such circumstances.

Why is she concerned about whether I married into the Nan family? Is she just concerned about her friend's daughter as an elder? Apparently, it's not that simple, or she wouldn't have asked me whether the Nan family instructed me to come here.

“Ms. Ou, why did you think the Nan family sent me here? They're all so busy. They have no time to care about my affairs. Moreover, I haven't married into the Nan family. My marital status still shows I'm single, and if you don't believe me, you can go check,” Ning Ran explained.

“What about the kids? Why do you have kids?”

“It was an accident. It's hard to explain, and I don't want to talk about it. Anyway, I came here just to understand more about what happened to my mom. I already know I'm not Ning Ziqiang's biological daughter, so I want to find out about my parentage,” Ning Ran declared, staring straight at Ou Ling.

As Ning Ran had expected, Ou Ling didn't look surprised at all. That meant she had always known Ning Ran wasn't Ning Ziqiang's biological daughter. Since she was aware of such a huge secret, she must know a lot of other things as well. Ning Ran made up her mind to get more answers from the older woman. I'm going to do everything in my power to gain new clues.

“I don't know anything. I can't help you. Please leave.”

Ou Ling stood up, preparing to show Ning Ran to the door, but the latter remained sitting, showing no intention of leaving.

“Ms. Ou, please think again. Perhaps, you can offer me some crucial clues.”

“I have nothing to offer you. Please go.”

“Ms. Ou, did my mom ask you to keep something priceless, and now you want to keep it for yourself since my mom has passed away?” Ning Ran's tone turned frosty.

Ou Ling was stunned, for she didn't expect Ning Ran to say such insulting words.

“Am I that unscrupulous? Do you not believe your mom's judgment? Or are you doubting my personality? I'm living a comfortable life, so why would I take someone else's things?” Ou Ling fumed.

“Perhaps the wealth you have now is because you stole what my mom left for me.”

Ou Ling's lips trembled in fury, and she demanded, “Is this what you think of me?”

“You are close friends with my mom, so before my mom died, she asked you to keep something for me, but you turned greedy and stole what was meant for me. As you're afraid I will expose you for what you did, you refused to see me.”

“Nonsense! You're insulting me! I have never seen what your mom left for you! I don't even know the password! How do I steal it?” Ou Ling yelled.

Indeed, in the heat of the moment, information was revealed.

“So my mom did ask you to keep something for her. What is it?”

“How do I know? I've never seen it before!” Ou Ling howled.

“If you have never seen it, how do you know my mom left me something? Did she say something to you?”

“She only said she rented a safe in the bank and left something inside. If she dies, she wants me to keep an eye on it, help her pay the rent, and only tell you about it after ten years. She also said not to tell you anything if you came to find me, especially if you were instructed by someone to do so. She's

probably afraid someone will use you because you're young and naive. But you actually had the audacity to slander me by saying I kept your things for myself. I have never seen it, nor can I open the safe. How can I steal anything?”

Ning Ran sighed in relief, glad that her method of infuriating Ou Ling to make the latter speak worked.

She then stood up and bowed deeply to Ou Ling. “I'm sorry, Ms. Ou. Please forgive my rudeness. I said so because I got impatient. Please forgive me!”

“What do you mean? You're suspecting me, so why are you putting up a polite act?” Ou Ling demanded, still furious.

“You didn't want to tell me, so I was getting impatient. If I didn't say such things, you wouldn't have told me those things. Since my mom is willing to tell you all those information, it means you're trustable. I purposely accused you of stealing the things my mom left behind to anger you. Please forgive me.”

Ou Ling was stunned. Did I get tricked?

“You really don't suspect me?”

“Of course not! My mom will only leave those things in the care of someone she trusted the most, so how can I suspect you? By the way, Ms. Ou, you have known all along that I'm not Ning Ziqiang's biological daughter, right?”

“Yes,” Ou Ling admitted.

Upon hearing that, Ning Ran became agitated. “Then do you know who's my biological father?”

“That I have no idea, but I know he wrote those words on that calligraphy painting. I once asked her who he was, but she refused to tell me. She only said that it was all in the past and it would affect many

people's lives if she revealed his identity, so she decided not to say anything. I thought she refused to tell me because she had some qualms, so I kept pressing on for answers. In the end, she told me that she once swore to Bodhisattva that if she told you your parentage, you would die a painful death. That sounded so scary because no mother will swear upon their daughter's life.”

Ning Ran fumed, “Someone probably forced her to swear such a vicious vow. My mom is a Buddhist, and since she had sworn before Bodhisattva, she will never reveal the truth. To many people, swearing is a very childish and ridiculous act. However, my mom is religious, and she would never break the vows she made before Bodhisattva. That person who forced my mom to swear knew this very well, so he or she made my mom swear upon my life. How evil!” Ning Ran fumed.

“Yes. Now that you mentioned it, it makes sense. Plus, your mom said that if someone ordered you to ask me things, I must never reveal anything. That's why I didn't want to tell you anything for fear the Nan family sent you. Your mom gave me those instructions, so I must obey them. Otherwise, I would have let her down. I didn't mean to keep it from you. It's just that...”

Ning Ran nodded in understanding. “I understand, Ms. Ou. Thank you for keeping my mom's secret, but now that I know, please tell me the password to that safe. I want to know what she kept inside.”

“But your mom said you can only open it ten years later...”

“Ms. Ou, my mom probably said so because she wanted to wait till I was mature enough, but I'm already mature. I want to know her secrets now.”

“But...” Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

“Ms. Ou, nothing is certain in this world. If I don't open the safe now, I may suddenly die one day, and if that happens, those secrets will remain secrets forever!”

“Don't say such nonsense. You won't die. Fine, I'll tell you which bank is it, and you can go look for it. However, I really don't know the password. You have to think of a way yourself.”
