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

Chapter 5 Knowing
"Girl, what happened to you? You and Grandpa Fu, let's have a good talk."

How can you just give up on going to university? From childhood to adulthood, this girl's grades have always been outstanding, and she has always been my greatest pride.

Fu Chenggong looked at her with disapproval, feeling anxious while secretly speculating.

Just over a month ago, I was confidently telling myself that I wanted to apply to the best university in the country. How could I have suddenly developed this idea?
A chilling glint suddenly flashed in his weathered eyes: Could it really be as the old man feared before he died?
Xu Zixin…

"Grandpa Fu, I've thought it through."

She knew the old man was worried that she might make a decision she would regret later due to a moment of impulse.

But after much thought, working in southern Hunan might not be the best arrangement at the moment.

Firstly, she would inevitably have a falling out with Xu Zixin in a few days, and the best way to protect herself before she was fully capable was to avoid confrontation.

Hunan is her maternal grandfather's hometown. If she remembers correctly, there is also the Su family ancestral home there, with several properties. She doesn't need to worry about not having a place to settle down when she arrives in a hurry.

Secondly, knowing that Grandpa Fu might have an accident over there, how could she remain indifferent? If she could take care of him there, it would be more reliable than the person Uncle Fu had found.

Given his temperament, even if he manages to fool people now, when the time comes, he will still make the same choice and will never try to protect himself.

Stubbornly endearing, honest and respectable.

Even though they were as close as grandmother and granddaughter, she couldn't tell them everything about her glimpses into the future.

So I wanted to persuade him and get his help…

"Grandpa Fu, I was almost killed outside the family compound the day before yesterday."

"boom--"

"what?!"

Ignoring the overturned chair, Fu Chenggong listened to these words, his expression constantly shifting like a Sichuan opera face-changing act.

First came shock and fear, then realization and uncontrollable rage: "Fu Xinguo, you little bastard! How dare you keep such a big thing from me!"

"Who is this Ning girl? She's got some nerve! I'll shoot her!"

He's not so old that he can't lift knives or sticks yet!

Fu Chenggong's chest heaved with rage as he gritted his teeth: When that brat gets back, I'll give him a good beating, three meals a day!

She lifted the chair, pulled his arm to make him sit down again, and smiled, revealing sweet dimples.

"Grandpa Fu, please don't get agitated. I'm fine, and Uncle Fu has already caught the person."

"Don't even mention that good-for-nothing! He got bullied right in front of his own house, what a waste of his skin! Where's your dad? Is he dead? Is his grave too far away for the wind to reach him in time?!"

"Pfft~"

Gently patting his back, Su Ning was amused by the old man's words and couldn't help but burst out laughing, almost choking. "Cough, Grandpa Fu!"

"Alright, alright, go on, continue."

"The night before it happened..."

……

Fu Chenggong tapped his fingers on his leg a few times, then squinted to conceal the chilling killing intent rising within him.

After a long silence, he finally broke it, saying, "Ning, your suspicions are probably correct."

He had just overheard Xu Zixin and his companion's plot when he was kidnapped and nearly killed.

Even the coincidences couldn't be this close together.

Furthermore, even after all these years, he still remembers Su Ting's words and his dying wish.

He failed to take good care of Jinglei, causing her to die at such a young age. Now, the Su family only has Ningya as their sole heir. If anything happens to her, he will have no face to face the old man even after he dies!
"Back then, your maternal grandfather said that your father, Xu Zixin, was too perfect in both his character and his conduct, and that he either had a mental illness or was plotting something much bigger."

Your mother was asked to consider this carefully, but she was too naive and easily swayed. She was so infatuated that she almost drove your grandfather crazy. He also insisted on marrying her. Your grandfather had no choice but to agree, and took the opportunity to make a strict demand: that Xu Zixin's children, regardless of gender, must take the surname Su.

He agreed to such an outrageous request without hesitation; no wonder your grandfather couldn't close his eyes in peace until his death!

Sure enough, the old man's words came true; his wolfish ambitions are indeed vast.

The Su family's wealth, even just what's on the surface, is enough to make anyone greedy and envious.

Throughout history, there have been countless examples of couples turning against each other and brothers killing each other for money.

If it weren't for the old man's keen eye and truly remarkable judgment of people...

If Ning Yatou hadn't made so many arrangements and left herself a way out before she died, she probably wouldn't have been able to grow up so peacefully.

But... I wonder if Jing Lei and that child's deaths were truly an accident, or if Xu Zixin was involved?

People only want to believe what they see with their own eyes, and even if they have doubts, they will keep convincing themselves.

However, what we see and hear with our own eyes is not always the truth.

And his silly brat, isn't he also one of those people who are blinded by their own limited perspective, making solemn vows and even vouching for others?

"Grandpa Fu agrees to your leaving Beijing for southern Hunan, but you won't be attending university..."

"Grandpa Fu, I don't want to lie to you. I've thought this through carefully before deciding not to go to university."

"Sigh, you've been good in every way since you were little, except for your stubborn temper. Once you've made up your mind, nothing can change it. Who did you take after?"

"Of course he looks like you!"

Fu Chenggong, who was furious but laughed, poked her head and sighed, "Fine, since you said it was after careful consideration, then Grandpa Fu can't be the annoying one anymore."

"Regarding the household registration matter you mentioned, I will have someone else handle it so that your Uncle Fu won't know."

As for work, your grandfather still has some influence in this area, so try to arrange things properly in the next few days.

"Grandpa Fu..."

The old man had spent most of his life with a proud spine, a stubborn bone that wouldn't budge even when he knew he was wrong, but in the end, he swallowed his pride and bent down to beg for her...

The soreness rising in her nose made Suning's throat ache uncontrollably, and she could barely speak.

"Ning girl, don't cry! You've finally come to see this old man, don't let all the tears you've accumulated over the year go to waste!"

"Ah."

"That's good."

The heavy rain had stopped sometime ago, and a misty fog obscured the approaching darkness of night.

Fu Chenggong glanced at the sky outside and guessed that it was almost time for the workers to get off work.

He considered letting her come home with him for a few days, but after all, he was still the girl's nominal father and legally her sole guardian. He was also getting old and worried that he might not be able to handle a desperate, mad dog.

"Girl, you have to be careful these next few days. Don't confront anything head-on. We can always get things back! Nothing is more important than your safety, okay?"

"I know, Grandpa Fu, don't worry."

Raising her head and nodding obediently, Su Ning stood up and said, "Grandpa Fu, I still want to go to the old house. I'll leave first today and have dinner with you another day."

After a slight hesitation, Fu Chenggong swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue. The children are all grown up and have their own ideas.

After experiencing these things, the girl has clearly grown a lot. While she may not be the most thoughtful person in everything she does, she is methodical and knows how to plan before acting.

He didn't dwell on it, only repeatedly reminding her, "Don't stay too late over there, and young ladies should be careful!"
