Chapter 152 Processing
"stop!"

The sound, though not particularly loud, was deafeningly deafening in the corridor.

Ren Xuansheng, who had been about to run away, suddenly stopped and instinctively stood still.

Da da da~
The sound of her little leather shoes clicking on the ground was like a hammer blow to her heart, sending chills down her spine.

Ren Xuan lowered his eyes to look at the pair of black leather shoes that had stopped in front of him, and clenched his slightly sticky palms. "Aunt Ma, is there anything else?"

"Back then, it was your Ren family who begged and pleaded with Jia Dan to take responsibility, and now it's you who are rushing to annul the engagement."

"How can you think our Fu family is a pushover, someone you can pick at and manipulate at will?"

Gripping the jade pendant tightly, Ma Xiuzhen tried her best to control her trembling fingers, and for the first time, she uttered extremely sarcastic and mean words, "What kind of people are you, Ren Xuan of the Ren family? You think you're worthy to look down on Jia Dan?"

"Aunt Ma, don't go too far..."

"scoff~"

Glancing at her with disdain, Ma Xiuzhen elegantly smoothed her hair and chuckled, then slowly turned around, her tone calm yet extremely cold.

"Now that the engagement has been annulled, besides this jade pendant, please return everything the Fu family sent to the Ren family untouched, otherwise..."

"You just try it and see if my Fu family can still crush you with our own hands now."

Although it's not necessarily true that Jia Dan likes her that much, or that Ren Xuan likes this marriage, as a mother, she can't tolerate someone coming to her door to humiliate and hurt her feelings at this crucial moment.

If the Ren family were to come and annul the engagement after Fu Rong and his son were discharged from the hospital, she would not say a word.

Ren Xuan's face was gloomy and his expression was very unpleasant. His long fingernails dug into the tender flesh of his palms.

Even after walking out of the ward into the long corridor, seeing her parents waiting there, she still hadn't recovered.

"Dad, mom."

"How's it going, Xuanxuan? Did you get a refund? Has everything been explained clearly?"

The Ren family was just an ordinary working-class family; having four workers in one family was enough to make many people envious.

Later, they also got involved with the Fu family. Putting aside everything else, the Ren family members gained a lot of benefits just by relying on this marriage relationship, not to mention small things like being promoted to a minor cadre position.

However, now that the Fu family is about to collapse and Fu Jiadan is finished, the Ren family only has one precious daughter, and there is absolutely no way they would willingly jump into such a fire pit.

Xuanxuan is beautiful and has a great figure, can't she find someone better in the future?
Fortunately, Fu Jiadan used the excuse of establishing a career before starting a family to delay things, otherwise it would have been a huge loss for him to ruin a perfectly good young woman's life with a useless man like him!

"Return."

Upon hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Ren were overjoyed, but their expressions froze the next second when they heard their daughter's additional comment.

"However, Aunt Ma said we have to return all the things the Fu family sent to our house before."

"Why?!"

Mrs. Ren was so excited that she spat everywhere. Returning all those things would be the death of her!

The engagement jewelry, the three main pieces of jewelry, and the large red envelope...

"Why? Because they are from the Fu family, and because Fu Rong is still alive and his position is still there!"

"His dad...is he really going to back out?"

Can't we just not return it?
Ren's mother, her face contorted with grief as if her heart had been ripped out, cried out, "Those things were meant for our youngest son..."

"Shut up, let's go back first!"

Unaware of the ugly face her former in-laws showed outside the ward, Ma Xiuzhen had already arrived at the intensive care unit where her husband was.

Seeing the tubes inserted into her face, her eyes still tightly closed, Ma Xiuzhen immediately dropped all her pretense. "Arong... wake up quickly, or we'll be bullied to death..."

As if hearing his wife's sobs beside him, Fu Rong, lying on the bed, twitched his fingers slightly under the covers.

……

ancient city.

Arriving in Yong County before dawn, Su Ning took the earliest bus to the city.

I went home first to quickly pack some things I needed and put them in a small box as cover.

Dragging his suitcase to the nearby courtyard, he learned that Zhang Ze had not yet returned. After giving Tian Xiang a few instructions, he hurriedly left to go to the post office to hang up the phone.

Next, we went to the textile factory and the machinery factory.

By the time Su Ning finished everything and rushed back to the First Brigade without stopping for a moment, it was already completely dark.

Yan Bei stood motionless at the entrance to the village, like a stone waiting for his wife, and it was unknown how long he had been there.

It wasn't until he saw Captain Su's grandson driving the oxcart back that his face, which had appeared cold and hard under the moonlight, softened a little.

Why are you standing here?

Didn't she already promise the deliveryman that he would pick her up in the county town on time, so he could wait at home without worry? She waved to him, and before he could even speak, she grabbed him and dragged him into the truck bed.

Su Jianqun couldn't help but turn around and glance at the most capable young man his grandfather had mentioned twice before.

I heard that he has been demoted to their team for two or three days now, and he seems to be deliberately avoiding people. If I hadn't been waiting here, I really wouldn't have been able to catch a glimpse of him.

"Yan Gong..."

"I am no longer. Just call me Yanbei."

"Then... Brother Yan!"

After exchanging greetings, Su Jianqun turned back and carefully continued driving towards the back mountain at the end of the village.

After safely delivering the person to the gate of the ancestral home, he accepted the handful of chocolates that Suning insisted on giving him and left happily.

This is a high-end candy bought from the Friendship Department Store in Shanghai. He and his older brother each shared half of the box she gave him before. When he first put it in his mouth, it tasted bitter, but then it was very smooth and sweet. Su Jianqun liked it very much.

His distant cousin is wonderful in every way, except that she's a bit too generous!
Upon opening the courtyard gate, Su Ning noticed the various pieces of furniture displayed in the yard. She walked briskly forward to examine them and casually asked, "When did Uncle Dacheng deliver these?"

"Not long after dinner, I heard a noise and came over to help move them into the yard."

Yan Bei put down what he was carrying and glanced at it. Apart from the small leather suitcase, most of the other items were his own.

Sure enough, he said he was going to take care of something, but his main purpose was to pack and bring his things over.

Bending down and concealing the darkness in his eyes, Yan Bei found the square wooden box among a pile of luggage.

This is a treasure box he casually crafted in his spare time. Inside are his salary saved in the bank over the past few years, money and receipts needed for daily expenses, and some valuables such as watches.

"Here, these are for you, Suning."

"Ok?"

After taking inventory of the furniture on the floor, Su Ning stared blankly at the things he handed her, her face full of question marks.

"Why did you give me this passbook and all these banknotes?"

"I don't need it now, and even if I wanted to spend it, I couldn't, and it would easily cause trouble."

"Oh, I see. I'll save it for you, right? No problem."

Taking the items with both hands, Su Ning nodded knowingly, intending to keep them separately in her bedroom in her Peach Blossom Spring space, so they wouldn't get lost no matter where she went.

With a smile on his lips, Yan Bei offered no explanation. He had no intention of taking back what he had given away, and he even planned to hand over more in the future under a different identity.

"Let's go, let's move your things and furniture into your place first."

"Don't worry about that yet, have you eaten?"

"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have completely forgotten about it."

He led her to the kitchen and brought the food that was warming in the pot to the table one by one.

"Did you do this?"

"Hmm, it doesn't taste very good, but you'll have to eat some anyway."

The simplest dishes are scrambled eggs with tomatoes and braised eggplant with green beans.

To be honest, the presentation is... a bit scary.

She hesitated slightly before accepting the bowl and chopsticks he offered. Thinking back to the food she had cooked in the space when she knew nothing about cooking, the bizarre and varied flavors of the dishes were a lingering shadow that she still didn't want to relive.

Glancing at his expectant yet somewhat nervous expression as he looked at her, Su Ning tightened her grip on her chopsticks and picked up a long bean from the nearest tree.

"How about it?"

"Hmm, not bad, that's pretty good for your first time!"

Somewhat surprised, Suning nodded affirmatively. The presentation was indeed not good, but the taste was not a big problem.

The only problem was that it was overcooked and burned a bit.

Seeing that she wasn't having much trouble eating, Yanbei breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving a positive answer. As long as she could swallow it, that was good enough.

"have you eaten?"

"Ate."

"Really?"

Although the portion of this dish was small, it didn't look like it had been touched at all.

"I really ate it, I wouldn't lie to you."

She left a lot of breakfast when she left in the morning, and he didn't come back until he finished the work at the cowshed, so lunch and dinner became one meal, and he ate all the leftovers hot.

"Alright, I contacted the Shanghai office today and got the exact addresses on both sides. Do you think we need to send anything?"
