Hidden Marriage: A Heaven-sent Billionaire Husband

1999 Just To Meet You

“As soon as he sends it over, I’ll give it to Grandma immediately. I believe that no one is more qualified to see the truth than you,” Ning Nuo said softly.

Ning Luyao suppressed her trembling and asked, “When did this happen? Can it be restored?”

“With new technology, anything can be repaired.”

“Are you sure it’s the footage from back then?”

“I got it from the police, so it should be the case. Besides, we’ll know if it’s true after watching the contents,” Ning Nuo said. “It’s just that I think the person who should see the truth the most after so many years is Grandma. So once the footage is recovered, no one else will see it. Grandma will be the first person to see it.”

Ning Luyao’s breathing quickened. “Ning Nuo, don’t try to be mysterious!”

“Why are you saying so? Don’t you want to know the truth? Haven’t you always believed that I was the one who did it? Or do you not want others to know the truth? Do you think I did it? If I really did it, wouldn’t you have found the culprit?”

Everyone thought that she made sense.

“But the two of you look exactly the same. How can we tell the difference? What if you want to frame Yao Yao?” Aunt Zhang asked.

“I had short hair at that time, and Ning Luyao had long hair. It’s easy to tell, right?”

Ning Luyao suddenly remembered that she had worn a short wig when she started the fire. She wondered if the surveillance cameras had captured the scene of her wig falling down.

If it was really captured…

Her breathing became even more rapid. For a moment, she could not even breathe!

Old Madam Ning said, “Alright, in that case, bring me the video when you get it! I really want to know what happened back then!”

Ning Nuo nodded. “After being accused for so many years, I also want the truth to come out.”

Seeing how confident she was, everyone was confused. Did she really not do it?

Back then, Ning Luyao cried out bitterly that she had seen Ning Nuo set the fire with her own eyes. Everyone believed her without a doubt.

Later on, when the police did not find any clues, everyone felt that it was Ning Nuo who did it.

After all, she was not as obedient as Ning Luyao when she was young. What Ning Luyao said must be true!

Everyone decided to stay in the Ning family’s house tonight to see what was going on.

A moment later, everyone was almost done eating.

A man in uniform came to the door and handed a small box to Ning Nuo.

Grandma Ning nodded and touched the scars on her arm. They were all from the fire back then.

Madam Ning also touched the hideous scar on her arm. It was also left behind by the fire, so her feelings for Ning Nuo were very faint.

Back then, her arm was almost crippled. She had to undergo many treatments to keep it functional, but her skin often hurt. Even now, she was still too embarrassed to wear a dress and short-sleeved clothes. There was a reason why her attitude toward Ning Nuo had changed.

Mr. Ning also thought about how he had fallen from being a rich young master to his current ordinary status because of the fire back then. He also wanted an answer.

It was hard for them to calm down. All these years, they had become cold and indifferent, pressing down on Ning Nuo.

There were also those relatives. In the past, they followed the Ning family and lived a good life, earning a lot of money. Now, they had returned to their lowly status. It was all because of the fire back then!

Everyone wanted to know the truth more than Ning Nuo!

Ning Nuo accompanied Grandma Ning upstairs.

“Grandma, have a good rest tonight,” Ning Nuo said softly. “I’ll be in the next room. I’ll watch over you. If you need anything, just call me.”

“Okay, you should rest early too,” Grandma Ning said.

“Good night, then.” Ning Nuo covered her with the blanket, turned off the lights, and walked out of the door.

Everyone downstairs had already settled down. Mr. and Madam Ning went back to rest.

Ning Luyao’s heart was in turmoil.

There were not many surveillance cameras back then, and they were all destroyed in the fire.

Was there really a technology that could restore it?

She checked the internet and found that many people were discussing this problem. They said that foreign technology was especially advanced now. They only needed a small remaining chip to roughly restore the recordings.

Moreover, some people’s skills were far more advanced than that. In short, they made it sound magical.

Ning Luyao was about to suffocate.

She thought that she had done a thorough enough job back then. How did she get caught?

She couldn’t help but think of when she was young.

When she was young, she had a sharp tongue and was indeed very likable. She had always been more obedient than Ning Nuo.

At that time, Mr. and Madam Ning’s love for the two of them was actually similar. It was just that they doted on her a little more. No matter what they did, they would think more about her and not Ning Nuo.

When it came to studying, Ning Luyao’s disadvantage was obvious. Although she was very popular, she hated going to school and didn’t like doing homework. Therefore, after going to school, her results were far inferior to Ning Nuo’s.

Mr. and Madam Ning didn’t say anything on the surface, and they still doted on her.

However, the talent and intelligence that Ning Nuo displayed were actually slowly winning over Mr. and Madam Ning’s love.

Ning Luyao had no choice but to play pranks. Sometimes, she would splash paint on her mother’s favorite bag, which made her furious. Sometimes, she would cut off her father’s favorite tie and make him embarrass himself when he went out. She would put insects in her mother’s food, which she hated the most. It scared her mother so much that she wouldn’t dare to eat for a few days. Sometimes, she would put a match in her father’s cigar. When he lit it, it would smoke off her father’s eyebrows and hair.

Then, she would frame all of this on Ning Nuo.

Ning Nuo, that bookworm, foolishly became a scapegoat. Every time she was scolded by their parents, she had a silly look on her face and did not know what was going on.

Her attitude made Mr. and Madam Ning even more unhappy. They felt that she was unrepentant, which made them even angrier.

As a result, their feelings for Ning Nuo changed more and more.

However, their grandparents still liked Ning Nuo very much.

When Ning Nuo was nine years old, not only did she get first place in the entire school, but she also got first place in the city for the Mathematical Olympiad. Their grandparents were very happy.

Because of this, their parents changed their opinion of Ning Nuo. They felt that she was worth teaching and planned to treat her well.

When Ning Luyao saw that all her efforts were going to be in vain, she thought of setting fire to the house and framing Ning Nuo for it.

However, she only wanted to start a small fire!

She just wanted everyone to know that Ning Nuo was not a good child. She was not worthy of their love!
