Reborn as a True Heiress and Becomes a Boss
Chapter 263 The Dust Settles
Chapter 263 The Dust Settles (Part 2)
The matter has now been settled. After today, Yang Nianqing has witnessed the strength and attitude of the Xu family, and perhaps she really was too stubborn before.
Ren Wenhan walked to Ren Chi's side and touched the stone in Ren Chi's palm that contained the fragments of her mother's spirit. Would she still have any hope of seeing her mother again in this life?
Ren Wenhan was looking at the stone, Xu Youhan was looking at her, and Yang Nianqing was looking at Xu Youhan. Yang Nianqing touched her nose. These two are going to have something going on. "Could it be that I rescued a relative while I was in Huaiqing City to save someone?" Yang Nianqing murmured to herself.
Fan Ruichen, standing to the side, nodded in agreement. "That's possible."
Because Gu Rongrong and the others were worried about Yang Nianqing standing close to her, they naturally heard Yang Nianqing's mutterings to herself: "Rescued a relative? What does that mean?"
Gu Tangtang reacted faster. This older sister had just put flowers in her cousin's hair, but her cousin didn't seem very angry. This wasn't like her older cousin's personality. Gu Tangtang covered her mouth with her hand. Could this be her future sister-in-law?
Seeing Ren Wenhan's low spirits, Yang Nianqing sighed. She understood what Ren Wenhan was thinking. Yang Nianqing stepped forward and said, "As long as you cultivate your superpower well, as long as your superpower becomes strong, you will be able to see your mother soon."
Ren Wenhan's eyes lit up, and she asked hesitantly, "Can I really do it? But this ability can only transform into flowers, how can I do it?"
She was puzzled. How was she supposed to use this special ability to save her mother? Could it be that transforming into a flower would save her mother?
“He can explain the principles behind this to you. Actually, I don’t know much about people with superpowers.” Yang Nianqing pointed to Xu Youhan, who was still looking at Ren Wenhan.
Ren Wenhan turned around and met Xu Youhan's gaze. Xu Youhan coughed awkwardly and turned his head away. After a while, he reacted and turned back to ask in surprise, "Why is it me?" He was usually so busy. He had just returned from abroad. Besides, wouldn't it be better to ask Gu Haolin and Gu Yuanhong about his superpowers?
Yang Nianqing glanced at him. The red phoenix in his face was so tempting that it was almost unbearable to look at. Besides, this was the only peach blossom in his life. If he didn't seize it, would he be preparing to grow old alone?
Yang Nianqing carefully examined Xu Youhan's face. Before meeting Ren Wenhan, her face had not changed at all. But after meeting Ren Wenhan, her face completely changed. Her fate of never having a wife in her life had gained a peach blossom. Although a person's fate is not immutable, it is not easy for something that did not exist before to suddenly appear.
Seeing the warning in Yang Nianqing's eyes, Xu Youhan wisely refrained from arguing and casually nodded, "Yes, you can come and ask me anytime." Why did he suddenly have to explain the principles of superpowers to this woman? It felt so troublesome.
Seeing the resistance emanating from the man, Ren Wenhan realized that her actions had affected him. Although her intention was to help and avenge her mother, it was wrong of her to use her supernatural abilities on him. However, she truly didn't understand supernatural abilities and had only learned about her mother being a demon in the last few days. For her mother's sake, she had to swallow her pride and say, "Thank you. Let's add each other on WeChat and exchange phone numbers!"
Xu Youhan glanced at her and nodded silently. After all, she had just recognized her sister and couldn't make her angry so soon. Her sister seemed to have a good impression of this woman.
Xu Youhan reluctantly added Yang Nianqing on WeChat. Yang Nianqing shook her head, thinking that perhaps they hadn't quite grasped the situation yet since they had just met, and that they should let them handle their own feelings.
Lianye glanced around Huaiqing City. She had lived here for so many years, and now that her mission was complete, it was time for her to leave. Lianye removed the barrier around Huaiqing City, completely destroying it. The demon race had their own selfish reasons for setting up this barrier. It was impossible for them not to feel resentment after humans had harmed their benefactors, the Qi Niao clan. So, they had set it up so that people could only enter but not leave. If anything happened inside the city, it was all fate, and they couldn't be blamed. But as time passed, Lianye also realized that they had been too extreme back then. Not all humans were bad.
After everything was settled, the sun had risen high in the sky, and Lianye said goodbye to Ren Wenhan and Ren Chi.
"Auntie, aren't you coming back with us?" Ren Wenhan asked, puzzled. Her aunt had stayed in Huaiqing City for so many years. Where could she go if she left? Although they had never spent time together and her aunt had never smiled at her much, blood was thicker than water. She knew her aunt liked her, but was just a little too proud. They were each other's only family, and Ren Wenhan naturally hoped that Lianye would go with them.
Moreover, given her mother's current situation, Ren Wenhan is even less willing to let Lianye leave. She feels extremely insecure right now, and Lianye is practically her pillar of support.
Lianye patted her head. Although she had been angry with Lianduo over the years, she actually liked her niece Ren Wenhan quite a bit. Every year on Ren Wenhan's birthday, she would give her a flower that could bring her good luck. Light shone from Lianye's palm, and the next second, Ren Wenhan held a white twin flower in her hand.
Seeing the familiar flower, Ren Wenhan looked at the lotus leaf in surprise. This was the flower she received every year on her birthday. Receiving this flower would bring her good luck. For example, when she was sick as a child, she received this flower and miraculously recovered. Another time, on her birthday, she wanted to go out to play, but it started raining heavily. After receiving this flower, the rain stopped. She had always regarded this flower as her lucky flower. So it was always given to her by her aunt?
"I hope this flower will bring you good luck." Lianye smiled at Ren Wenhan for the first time. She looked at the stone containing her sister's spirit again. "Right now, Lianduo's soul is being reassembled and repaired. She hasn't reached a point where she can use me yet. I want to go back to the place where Lianduo and I grew up to find some things that might help Lianduo. You two take good care of her. I will come to find you as soon as possible."
Hearing Lianye say this, Ren Wenhan nodded. Her aunt left in such a hurry, perhaps that thing really was useful to her mother. Although she was reluctant to part with it, Ren Wenhan knew that it was to save her mother.
Lianye then turned to Renci and said, "This time, I am formally handing Lianduo over to you. I hope you will not disappoint me."
Ren Chi nodded, his expression serious and earnest. "I will protect her." He would protect her with his life!
Perhaps it was because her prejudice against humans was too deep. Lian Duo had a good eye. Lian Ye smiled with relief. Then she could go and find that thing with peace of mind. So many years had passed, and she didn't know if she could find it. If she could find it, it would definitely help Lian Duo rebuild her body.
"Well then, everyone, I'll be going now." After thanking Yang Nianqing once again, Lianye said goodbye to everyone, turned around and disappeared, leaving only a wisp of breeze that stirred up a few white twin flower petals.
Gu Tangtang and Fan Meini clicked their tongues in amazement. She really was a fairy; even the way she walked was so fantastical.
With most matters resolved, and Lianye having lifted the seal and barrier, the feng shui of the area has noticeably changed. The most obvious change is in the wind; the wind blowing through Huaiqing City no longer carries that eerie feeling. It now feels lively and vibrant, free of any oppressive atmosphere. Lianye has protected this city very well; its scenery is beautiful, making filming here a true pleasure.
Given time, this place will surely return to its former prosperity; of course, for now it remains an isolated city.
That said, Yang Nianqing was actually quite curious. Xu Daiqing's identity wasn't currently exposed. Even without much fame, many production teams would be vying for her, given her status as the daughter of the Xu family. Why was she so fixated on Ren Chi, posting that Weibo post directly acknowledging the collaboration? Wasn't that just contradicting herself? Xu Daiqing didn't seem particularly stupid; rather, she seemed confident and assured that she would get the role. How could she be like that? Where did her confidence come from?
Unable to figure it out, Yang Nianqing stopped dwelling on it. In short, Xu Daiqing wanted to act in this drama, but she deliberately prevented her from doing so.
After being delayed for some time, the group returned to the place where the crew members had been unconscious, and they had gradually woken up.
Because Fan Ruichen altered their memories, they only remembered being trapped in Huaiqing City and encountering ghosts during that time. As for the incredible experience of being torn apart by ghosts and then stitched back together by Yang Nianqing, they had no recollection of it. They also knew that Yang Nianqing had saved them, but the process of being saved had been slightly modified by Fan Ruichen.
These people thanked Yang Nianqing with deep gratitude. Although the city is now safe, the shadow cast by it still lingers. It may take them a lifetime to heal from the experience of these three days.
"Do you remember how you were rescued?" Ren Wenhan was shocked to see the crew members' bodies intact! If it weren't for that experience, which she had personally gone through, and the fact that she had almost been torn apart and chewed up by evil spirits, she might have thought it was all an illusion.
Why don't the crew members feel anything strange?
The assistant director in charge responded, "Of course I remember! Those evil spirits wanted to devour us alive, but Master Yang's talismans saved us. Master Yang held a talisman in one hand and a whip in the other, and he beat all those evil spirits to a pulp, which saved us. However, we couldn't withstand the impact of those evil spirits turning to ashes, so we all fainted. But even though we were unconscious, we remember everything that happened before."
Ren Wenhan was dumbfounded. Was this really how it happened? It didn't seem quite the same as what her father had told her. But since the theater staff were all safe, Ren Wenhan understood how Yang Nianqing had saved the crew. She wisely refrained from asking any further questions.
Those in the Xu family who knew the inside story exchanged bewildered glances, their respect for Fan Ruichen's abilities growing even stronger. They hadn't expected Fan Ruichen's mental abilities to be so formidable! To simultaneously alter the memories of so many people without leaving any loopholes—mental abilities were indeed terrifying!
As the saying goes, a mother-in-law is always more satisfied with her son-in-law the more she looks at him. Fan Ruichen is capable and can better protect her daughter, so Gu Rongrong is very satisfied with Fan Ruichen, and her gaze towards him has softened.
After chatting, Ren Chi, Ren Wenhan, and Xie Weiqi stayed behind to handle the aftermath with the crew, while Yang Nianqing and the others returned to Kyoto in their RV.
The passengers were relatively quiet in the car. After all, this was a fight with ghosts, not some superhuman. They needed time to process what had happened today. Fan Meini looked at her phone and was amazed. After the barrier was removed, her phone had miraculously regained its signal! The demon race's methods were truly remarkable; it was like a portable signal jammer!
Fan Meini yawned. She had stayed up all night today, and her biological clock was already forcing her to go to sleep as soon as possible. But now she was in the car with so many people around, so it was really inconvenient to just ignore them and fall asleep. Fan Meini scrolled through Weibo, trying to find something to look at to perk herself up.
Suddenly, a trending topic popped up. Fan Meini clicked on it with a puzzled look, and after quickly glancing at the content, she gasped, "Is Senior Michelle's mother really this tough?"
"Senior Michelle?" Gu Tangtang leaned closer in confusion. "What Senior Michelle? Is it Fan Michelle from our school? After what happened to her mother, didn't her parents barely care about her? I heard they were incredibly cold when they came to the school to sort through her belongings. Wasn't there a rumor online that her death was related to her parents? It caused quite a stir, but in the end, there was no evidence, and it all fizzled out?"
Fan Meini nodded. "I remember you knew Senior Michelle. She was the one you led the team to participate in the Mathematical Olympiad. I remember you and my best friend Kong Fu were both members of the team."
Fan Meini handed the phone over a little so she could see it more clearly.
"Senior Fan has a cheerful personality and takes good care of us. She's a very good person, so I just can't believe she would commit suicide." Gu Tangtang took Fan Meini's phone and started looking at it.
The trending topic was several Weibo posts by actress Su He. The first post was a lawyer's letter issued in her own name, claiming that she would sue the parents who killed their daughter, Fan Mixue, in the high-profile case of parents killing their daughter. The second post was about changing Fan Mixue's household registration. Even though Fan Mixue had passed away, she did not want her daughter to leave this world bearing the burden of such parents. Those two scumbags did not deserve to be her parents.
Then came the announcement of her divorce from Dong Juncong and the severing of her mother-daughter relationship with Dong Sisi. Countless netizens were curious as to why actress Su He suddenly made such a statement.
Su He also answered the questions of thousands of netizens with her next Weibo post, which was a long article detailing her personal experiences over the past 18 years. She explained how she discovered that Dong Sisi, whom she had brought back, was not her daughter. She searched for her biological daughter for 18 years, and when she finally found her, her daughter was murdered by her so-called adoptive parents. The article was well-organized, logically sound, and she stated that she had various pieces of evidence, which she would reveal later.
Fan Michelle's affair had already caused quite a stir, and Su He's Weibo posts pushed it to its peak. Thousands of netizens flooded the server, causing Weibo to crash instantly. Gu Tangtang tried to scroll down to see the follow-up content, but the server showed it was under maintenance and she couldn't see any of the later content.
Gu Tangtang swallowed hard. She even thought Su He was really tough. What exactly happened next? Now that she was halfway through, she felt uneasy, like a cat was scratching her heart.
Did the Fan family couple really kill Fan Michelle?
Sorry everyone! I didn't update yesterday because I worked until midnight and didn't have any drafts saved. I've been working overtime today as well, but I'm trying my best to keep up with today's update. Thank you all for your continued support. I will try my best to keep updating in the future. Sending you love!
