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

Chapter 22 Finally
Two or three hours after the lively meal was finished, the Xu and Fu families tacitly left early, leaving only Zhao Qian and his wife Xin Yulan and Su Ning.

After all, the two of them had a mission, and since they were currently in Shanghai, they needed to catch the evening train back after finishing their business with her, so their schedules naturally had to be coordinated with theirs.

The document signing process was not complicated; as a witness, Zhao Qian only needed to follow the procedures step by step.

"This was given to me by your grandfather. Now it has finally been returned to its rightful owner."

After reading the will and exchanging signatures on several related documents, Zhao Qian took out a large leather bag from his small rattan box and said, "Take a look and see if there's anything wrong or any questions."

After thanking her with a smile, Suning stood up, took the gift with both hands, and opened it for a careful inspection without any hesitation.

Just as my grandfather said in his will, most of the Su family's assets were donated to the government in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

What was left behind were properties in Beijing, Shanghai, Hunan, and Hong Kong, as well as vouchers and keys for gold and silver jewelry stored in overseas bank vaults.

As for the Su family ancestral home, which was singled out by his maternal grandfather and repeatedly mentioned in his will, Su Ning already had some guesses in her mind when she thought of the old house.

The Su family, with its nearly three-hundred-year-old business heritage, must have accumulated astonishing wealth over generations, far exceeding what those with covetous eyes could imagine.

……

After taking the two elderly people to the guesthouse to rest, Su Ning, along with Zhang Zemao, who was secretly following and protecting her, rushed to several places in a row without stopping.

Mao Qianjin has already taken care of most of the procedures, including obtaining a separate household registration book, transferring grain and oil ration records, and various certificates from the street office. Now, all that's needed is for her to sign and stamp the documents.

Finally, we went to the bank to retrieve the things my mother had stored using my household registration certificate.

Once all of these items were properly stored and placed in the space, Suning felt completely relaxed and free.

"Brother Zhang and Brother Mao, you've worked hard these past two days. We'll definitely treat you well when we get to Hunan!"

"Haha, that's great! I'm really looking forward to it!"

Zhang Ze then burst into hearty laughter, showing that he was not opposed to living in an unfamiliar city; on the contrary, he was quite looking forward to it.

Mao Qianjin, however, hesitated for a moment before swallowing the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Think it through carefully before you speak.

"I'm waiting too, hehe."

"no problem."

……

Standing across the street, He Yue spotted her 'good friend' smiling brightly as she talked to someone not far away.

The two people who accompanied her were alumni of the same school, and they naturally noticed and recognized Su Ning as they followed her gaze.

"Is that Su Ning? I haven't seen her for days, and she seems even more beautiful now."

"Be more confident, please change your question into a statement. By the way, I saw that dress at the department store, it cost over thirty yuan, and she looked really good in it!"

"He Yue, aren't you friends? Should we go say hello?"

Hearing the two chattering away with their heartfelt praise, He Yue's smile vanished instantly.

Ever since the unpleasant parting on the day Su Ning was discharged from the hospital, He Yue, who was frightened, began to intentionally avoid her.

He Yue still can't understand why the people who used to be inseparable have changed like this.
Having made up her mind, He Yue put on her innocent smile again, explained a few words to the two people accompanying her, waved, and ran quickly towards her.

"Ning Ning!"

Yes... He Yue.

After two days of getting to know each other, Zhang Ze and Mao Qianjin had developed a tacit understanding with her that required no words.

Upon seeing the subtle signal she gave him, the two parted ways without hesitation and disappeared into the crowd in the blink of an eye.

"Hey, those two people from just now..."

"He Yue, I think I've made myself very clear. There's nothing more to say between us."

Being told this so bluntly again made He Yue almost lose her smile. "Ningning, I don't understand. We're such good friends, why are you suddenly treating me like this?"

"Did I do something to upset or annoy you?" "Tell me, and I'll change, okay?"

Su Ning raised her hand to interrupt her incessant chatter; she didn't want to waste her time on her.

Besides, it's really not good for two girls to be pulling and tugging at each other like that in the street.

"Just tell me, is there something you need? If there is, say it; otherwise, I'm leaving."

He Yue's hands, hanging by her sides, gripped the hem of her clothes, causing the fine polyester fabric to crease and wrinkle.

"Say it again, where do you want me to go with you?"

"Minxiang Back Street".

Minxiang Back Street, Minxiang Back Street…

Why is it Minxiang Back Street?
Could it be that things have been brought forward?

Did they even change their method of setting a trap this time?
With her eyes lowered, Su Ning quickly thought for a moment and immediately realized: Xu Zixin knew.

……

Minxiang Back Street.

In the long-neglected courtyard, waist-high weeds grew luxuriantly, and several clumps of thriving wild roses even peeked out and climbed all over the wall.

Lacking the eerie stillness of night, it possesses a unique beauty under the sunlight.

"Where exactly did things go wrong?"

"You're asking me?! Who am I supposed to ask?!"

Xu Zixin growled, his gaze towards Qian Huiru filled with a chilling coldness, "If it weren't for that brat Shanshan ruining everything..."

Everything went wrong after the day Su Ning was rescued.

Qian Huiru looked aggrieved and asked incredulously, "What are you saying? Now you're blaming me for not raising Shanshan well? Who was it back then...?"

"Shut up!"

Taking a few deep breaths, Xu Zixin, who had been caught off guard, tried his best to suppress the anger surging in his heart, and his rationality gradually returned.

The two remained silent for a while, and after several silences, they finally calmed down.

"Is He Yue sure she can bring Su Ning over?"

"That girl..."

He Yue definitely can't bring her along, but Su Ning herself might come.

He knew his daughter, Xu Zixin, very well; he was all too familiar with her fearless, youthful spirit.

Both father and daughter knew the significance of this small courtyard on the back street of Minxiang to Su Jinglei.

Did they think that because she didn't have a registered residence, gave up filling out the application, and didn't care about outsiders' opinions, there was nothing they could use to control her?

Naive, or just too naive!

"Brother Xin, Su Ning is, after all, your own daughter. Do you really want to do that?"

"What? You've been playing the charitable stepmother role for so long that you've forgotten your true nature! Ha~"

As he slowly rolled up his sleeves, Xu Zixin's expression, for the first time, was no longer disguised by gentleness, but rather resembled that of a venomous snake lurking in the shadows.

Looking at his sinister and vicious face, Qian Hui instinctively clutched her abdomen, feeling uncertain and hesitant for the first time.

"Whom am I doing this for? For myself? Isn't it all for our son? Don't be so sentimental!"

As her hands repeatedly stroked her abdomen, Qian Huiru's remaining conscience was completely devoured, leaving not a trace.
