Era: After foreseeing the future, I changed my fate using spatial abilities.

Chapter 1 A first look at the future
"Ningning, tell Daddy, where are the things your mother left you? What are they?"

"Ningning, you'd better behave, or Daddy might not be able to guarantee what he'll do to you!"

"Ningning, Daddy's patience is limited. If you're still uncooperative like this tomorrow, you'll suffer even more."

……

"Ningning, Ningning, what's wrong?"

Su Ning, breathing rapidly and her chest heaving violently, had her forehead and the stray hairs on her forehead completely soaked with sweat.

Looking at the person gripping his arm with a genuinely worried expression, and recalling the scene that had just flashed before his eyes, a chill ran from his tailbone straight to the top of his head, and goosebumps rose all over his body.

She reflexively flung his hand away and screamed uncontrollably, "Don't touch me!"

"Okay, okay, Daddy won't touch you, won't touch you. Ah, you can't get excited, Ningning, you still have a needle in your hand!"

Xu Zixin was clearly taken aback by his daughter's sudden overreaction, but recalling what the doctor had told him before, he assumed it was a sequela of near-death experience after falling into the water and didn't take it to heart.

He could only suppress his unease and continue to comfort her gently, "Don't worry, that bad guy has been caught by the police. Besides, Dad is here, and he won't have a chance to hurt you again. Ningning, don't be afraid."

How sincere and heartfelt those words were, brimming with loving care for his daughter.

If those vivid images hadn't seemed so real; if the scenes I saw from the nurses and doctors when I woke up hadn't been confirmed and actually happened; if I hadn't chosen my father, who rushed over, out of curiosity to try the experiment again…

Su Ning had no choice but to accept that this accident had truly given her a strange ability: she could actually glimpse the future through the people around her.

She also had to believe that her father, who had doted on her since childhood, would treat her that way soon.

With her eyes lowered, her long, curled eyelashes cast a shadow, concealing the complex and obscure emotions within.

Only after pinching the soft flesh of her palm hard and taking several deep breaths did Su Ning calm down. "Dad, I'm sorry, I just now..."

"Sweetie, Daddy knows."

Xu Zixin waved his hand to interrupt his daughter's self-blame, sat down again on the chair by the hospital bed, and thoughtfully changed the subject to avoid making her feel embarrassed.

"Your Aunt Qian is making soup for you at home. She'll probably be here soon. Are you hungry? How about Dad goes to the cafeteria and gets you something to eat to tide you over?"

Approaching forty, he still maintains an upright posture, with a bright and handsome smiling face, exuding the unique charm of a mature man in every gesture.

No wonder, with such good looks and acting skills, he not only kept his mother, a rich heiress, devoted to him until her death, but also made Qian Huiru willingly wait for him for more than ten years.

"No need, Dad, I'm not hungry. Tell Aunt Qian not to bother anymore. The doctor said I can be discharged once this IV drip is finished."

"There's no need to rush. Dad has already arranged everything properly with the school. There's still time after the college entrance exam results are released. Let's stay in the hospital for a few more days for observation."

With less than five days until the future she sees, she needs to think carefully about how to break the deadlock.

Time was of the essence, and she couldn't afford to waste any more time.

Furthermore, she knows her own body; apart from being overly frightened, she is not seriously injured.

"No need, Dad, I just want to go home."

So Suning refused without hesitation, and for the first time, she spoke with such a firm tone, unlike her usual obedient and docile self.

Xu Zixin's smile remained unchanged, but the fingertips resting on his lap unconsciously tapped.

Her narrow, upturned phoenix eyes subtly surveyed the person sitting curled up on the bed. Her long, black hair, as smooth as silk, was gathered behind her, making her still slightly chubby face appear even whiter. Her features, now fully developed, were becoming increasingly perfect and delicate, and with the dimples unique to daughters of the Xu family, she was even more beautiful than her mother had been in her youth.

After thinking it over and over, I couldn't find anything wrong, so I could only attribute it to this unexpected event.

Shaking his head inwardly, Xu Zixin spoke with a hint of reproach but his eyes were filled with deep affection, looking every bit the doting father to his daughter. "Alright, let's go home, I just can't do anything with you."

……

The steel plant’s family compound.

"Mom, it smells so good! What delicious food are you making? Let me have a taste first!"

Xu Shanshan casually placed her schoolbag on the table, and smelled the aroma of meat filling the room, almost making her mouth water uncontrollably.

Wow, chicken soup!

Although the Xu family was among the wealthiest in the compound, in this era of scarcity of food and clothing, even the richest family couldn't afford to eat lavishly every day.

Therefore, upon seeing the pot full of chicken soup on the kitchen stove, Xu Shanshan couldn't help but excitedly exclaim, "Mmm, I want a big chicken leg!"

"Nonsense!"

Slapping away her daughter's outstretched hand, Qian Huiru grumbled with exasperation, "You little brat, I've fed and clothed you all the time, how come you're still like a beggar outside, reaching out for meat at the sight of it!"

"Ouch, Mom, be gentle, it hurts!"

Seeing her hand instantly turn bright red, Xu Shanshan grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Besides, I'm eating my own food, how does that make me a beggar!"

You've really spoiled me!

Qian Huiru felt utterly helpless with her daughter, who never seemed to grasp the point of her words. "Your dad just called. Su Ning has been discharged from the hospital and will be home soon, for your dad's plan..."

"Oh, I know!"

Xu Shanshan waved her hand impatiently. Her originally pretty face was now twisted into a hideous and terrifying expression by the fierce look in her eyes.

Why must one be obedient and sensible to keep their father? Why must one be close to Su Ning and win her favor to stay in the Xu family?

They were both Xu Zixin's daughters from childhood to adulthood, so why did Su Ning get everything she wanted and grow up like a precious jewel?

And she, who can't acknowledge her father, suffers from poor food and clothing, and is ridiculed and disliked. After finally moving into the Xu family, she still has to please Su Ning in everything and put her first. What gives her the right to do this?!

"Shanshan!"

Qian Huiru pinched her daughter hard, who was already somewhat delirious, and said resentfully.

"A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan! We've persevered for so many years, what's a few more days? If you dare to cause any more trouble, not only your father, but I won't let you off the hook either!"

Hearing this, Xu Shanshan swallowed back the dissatisfaction that was almost on her lips, and was even more startled.

"Mom, what are you saying? I...I haven't done anything lately!"

After saying that, he stopped arguing with her, quickly turned around and left the kitchen, picked up his schoolbag and went back to his room.

plop plop~
My heart was pounding faster and faster in my chest.

Xu Shanshan leaned against the door, her fingers turning white from gripping the strap of her schoolbag so tightly: She did that so secretly, no one will find out, absolutely not!
