Chapter 535: Apocalypse: The True Daughter of Wealth Turns to Ashes (6)

Luo Baomiao saw Luo Ning finish speaking, and the atmosphere in the dining room suddenly fell silent.

Clearly, Luo Ning’s words had made the Luo Family present possibly feel some guilt toward Luo Ning.

She couldn’t let Luo Ning influence the Luo Family.

So she started crying, "I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to take your identity. I didn’t know I would be taken by mistake, nor did I want to steal your identity."

"Don’t leave, I’ll give your identity back to you, it’s enough if I leave. This isn’t the place I should be," she said with a look of guilt.

As expected, the Luo Family who were feeling a bit uneasy no longer dwelled on the matter.

After all, it wasn’t Jiaojiao’s fault for the mix-up, she wasn’t the one to switch them. It was too much for Luo Ning to take her anger out on Jiaojiao.

What else could this be if not jealousy?

Luo Ning could clearly see Luo Baomiao’s intentions and the changing expressions of the Luo Family.

Before the Luo Family could speak, she looked at Luo Baomiao.

"All I did was lament the coldness of my biological parents and brothers, why are you getting so worked up?"

"If you really felt guilty, over a year has passed and I haven’t seen you offer to leave, so why put on an act now?"

"You don’t need to leave. I’m the one who should, I’ll let you have it."

"This is your home, not mine. Since you took over my life, you might as well continue enjoying it."

Luo Ning’s goal was to keep instilling the idea in the Luo Family today that it was Luo Baomiao who stole her life and her identity.

"I just want to take back my things now, so give me the pendant back."

"Or do you want to take everything that’s mine? My life, my parents, my brothers..."

"Now you won’t even let go of my most precious jade pendant."

She knew Luo Baomiao wanted to take the pendant, at least half the reason was to deliberately snatch something precious from her original identity.

Luo Baomiao’s heart skipped, and she immediately began crying and shaking her head, "No, I didn’t."

Luo Ning said coldly, "This pendant isn’t worth much money. Compared to the jewelry and pendants in your room, it’s nothing."

"Yet you said you liked it, so Fifth Luo deliberately snatched it from me to give to you."

"What do you like about it, its cheapness?"

"Its design is very simple. There are many pendants with this jade gourd shape on the streets. Do you like it because it’s so common?"

"So, apart from wanting to take the thing I cherish the most, I really can’t think of any other reason."

Luo Baomiao secretly fumed, what was up with Luo Ning today?

Not only had she grown much bolder but she had also become smarter, and her mouth was merciless.

She cried, struggling for breath, "No, I didn’t. I just felt a connection with the pendant. I just mentioned it to Fifth Brother, I didn’t mean to take it from you."

Luo Ning said sharply, "You merely mentioned it, and he stole it from me to give to you."

"Do you just want to prove that anything belonging to me, you can take if you want, without lifting a finger yourself, just by mentioning it, and someone will obediently bring it to you?"

"You just want to prove to me that the familial affection I once craved and cherished is actually worthless to you."

Luo Baomiao: "..." Although it was the truth, she definitely couldn’t admit it.

This woman had become so troublesome, it would be better if she left the Luo Family.

"No, you’ve misunderstood, that’s not it." She cried with an innocent look, shaking her head, her body swaying as if she was about to fall.

Fifth Luo frowned, "Enough, the jade pendant was taken by me to give to Sister Jiaojiao. It has nothing to do with her, don’t slander her."

But in her heart, she truly felt uncomfortable. Did Sister Jiaojiao really not intend to bring up the pendant she liked?

Was there ever anything good that Sister Jiaojiao didn’t have since they were young?

Why did she suddenly take such a liking to a cheap, unremarkable pendant?

Luo Ning sneered, "Fine, if you all think I’m slandering, then let it be slander. There are too many flaws, I can’t be bothered to refute them."

"Besides, I don’t want to waste words. I just want to take back what’s mine."

Her eyes darkened, "This is a gift from my brother, and it’s what I consider the most precious."

"If you return it to me, I definitely won’t fuss over it anymore and will leave immediately."

"If you don’t return it, then I’ll have no choice but to call the police."

She glanced at the pendant, covered by Luo Baomiao, "When my brother gave me this pendant, I posted it on my Moments. The date and the photo there can serve as evidence."

Luo Baomiao had been trying to skirt around the topic of the pendant, not wanting her to keep asking for it, but how could Luo Ning acquiesce to her wishes.

Upon hearing Luo Ning’s words, Fifth Luo was furious.

Fifth Luo said to Luo Baomiao, "Sister Jiaojiao, it’s just a broken pendant. Give it back to her, and I’ll get you a better one in a few days."

Luo Baomiao didn’t want to return it. She felt anxious inside, believing she couldn’t give it back to Luo Ning, though she didn’t know why. Still, she trusted her sixth sense.

Seeing this, Luo Ning immediately said, "It’s just a worthless pendant, yet you don’t want to return it. Aren’t you admitting you want to steal my things?"

"If you don’t return it, please give me a reason other than you liking it."

"After all, just because you like it, I should give it to you? You think it’s okay to take what others have just because you like it?"

Luo Ning pressed on with a series of questions, "Do you truly lack this cheap pendant that badly?"

Luo Baomiao naturally couldn’t come up with a reason, as this was indeed Luo Ning’s possession.

Her refusal to return the pendant also made both Father Luo and Mother Luo simultaneously frown.

They didn’t see anything particularly special about the pendant; its design was common and the jade was of the cheap bean seed variety.

A thing like this, the Luo Family wouldn’t even bother to pick up if dropped on the ground.

What good things had Jiaojiao not seen? Why did she like this pendant so much that she didn’t want to return it?

Could it be just as Luo Ning said?

Brother Luo and Second Brother Luo, who had not spoken until now, couldn’t help but turn their gaze to Luo Baomiao.

In their hearts, they didn’t quite believe that the sister they had doted on growing up could be the kind of person Luo Ning described.

Yet Jiaojiao’s behavior over the pendant was indeed unusual.

They could also see that Luo Ning truly cared about and treasured the pendant, not for its value, but for its sentimental meaning.

Luo Baomiao, always sensitive, quickly picked up on the expressions of Father Luo and the others.

Her heart skipped a beat. She didn’t want to lose the affection of the Luo Family and let Luo Ning’s instigation succeed.

Looking aggrieved, she took off the pendant and handed it to Luo Ning, "I wasn’t refusing to return it to you, I just hadn’t taken it off yet, and you misunderstood."

Luo Ning immediately took the pendant and put it in her bag, "What you’re really thinking, only you know."

After all the wrangling, she finally took back the pendant rightfully, and Luo Ning felt much relieved.

Luo Ning put all the items she had taken out earlier back in her bag.

She looked over the people of the Luo Family with an indifferent expression and said, "I’m even with you now. From now on, I will have nothing to do with the Luo Family anymore. If we meet again in the future, we’ll be strangers."

Watching Luo Ning’s resolute demeanor, the Luo Family initially thought she was playing hard to get, but now they were somewhat unsure.
