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

Chapter 81 Return Gift
After a pleasant meal, and fulfilling his promise to play with Xiao Qiu for a while, Su Ning bid farewell and left the Zhang family amidst the earnest instructions of the two elders.

Zhang Qi, who was responsible for escorting her back to the hotel, took more than two hours to travel a journey that should have taken less than an hour.

As for what they talked about and discussed on the way, Zhang Qi didn't mention a word when his parents asked him about it after he got home.

……

Back in her hotel room, unable to rest, Su Ning sighed and rubbed her forehead, remembering the message from the front desk.

That's good; getting everything resolved at once will allow me to prepare for my return trip with peace of mind.

He took off his blouse and put on comfortable trousers, then replaced the large gauze bandage on the back of his head with a new one before slipping into his spatial dimension.

Arriving at the natural karst cave halfway up Taoyuan Mountain, we found it densely filled with redwood boxes.

Fortunately, she had sorted the items by type when she moved them over; otherwise, it would have been quite troublesome to open the boxes just to find what you wanted.

He walked straight to the area where gold, silver, jewelry, and jade were piled up, and casually opened the two outermost boxes.

He squatted down and began to carefully select the items.

"The imperial green jade bracelet that Grandma Yan gave me... This warm jade should be quite suitable for the elderly."

Setting the warm jade aside, Su Ning began to pick out a piece of jewelry suitable for both Aunt Yan and Sister Yanxi.

As for the men in the Yan family, after much thought, she decided to give them jade seals of different materials.

To avoid favoritism, Yan Bei and Fu Jiaming also received a gift.

Having successfully selected and packed all the return gifts, without disturbing the little circle that was frolicking by the stream, they quickly left the space at the appointed time.

……

J District Compound, Yan Family.

It was a rare occasion for the whole family to gather together. Xiang Mingyu, who usually complained that her home was too quiet, looked at the living room, which was almost overflowing, and her eyes were full of joy.

that is…

Looking around, including my own tomboy, it's like stepping into a monastery. It would be perfect if there were more women to balance it out.

Two elderly mothers, deeply worried about their children's marriages, exchanged a glance and immediately understood each other's thoughts, then put their plans into action!
"An'an!"

Yan An, who was the first to win, seemed to be used to being called on first. Under the sympathetic gazes of her younger siblings, she replied helplessly, "Mom, Aunt, can we not have a denunciation meeting today?"

"What criticism meeting? We just want to talk to you about something."

"Exactly, who wants to talk about you?"

"Then tell me, what is it?"

"Your Aunt Hongcai's daughter just graduated from university and is coming back to work in Shanghai, you..."

Pressing his throbbing forehead hard, Yan An knew he couldn't escape. He turned to look at the gate: "I wonder if it's too late to leave now?"

"Mom, I remember..."

"Boom-"

She coughed lightly and covered her mouth with a smile, "This door is acting strangely today; you can only go in but not out."

Well done!

This teamwork was quite seamless, and Sun Yi gave her sister-in-law, who was closing the door and making a threatening remark, an approving look.

The other Yan brothers no longer cared about watching the excitement: Oh no, could today be a trap?
You say you're watching Xiaoqi's show, but you've become a character in it yourself?

……

As Comrade Yanbei waited outside the compound gate, the thought of his entire family swarming in as if drawn by the scent of the house deepened the fog in his eyes.

Hey, don't look at me like that!

Fu Jiaming, feeling a chill run down his spine, took a few steps back in fear.

Little did he know that just two phone calls would cause such a huge chain reaction.

Will the Yan family's lunatics keep sneaking into our house one after another?

"I really didn't mean to let it slip!"

Fu Jiaming was practically swearing to the heavens when he took another big step back. "Who knew Brother Yu would suddenly appear behind me without a word?"

"Shut up."

"hold head high."

He made a closing gesture with his five fingers together, and Fu Jiaming cautiously glanced at him a few times, secretly calculating in his mind: if he, with his limp, and Yan Bei, with his broken ribs, really fought...

Subconsciously, I pressed my tongue against my cheek and came to a conclusion—

It's not certain who will win!
Should we seize this opportunity and give it our all? Maybe we can turn the tables and make it big.

"What's that expression on your face?"

"Hey, I'm keeping an eye on the corner for you, keeping an eye on the corner!"

Just meeting his gaze made him instantly cower in fear, leaving Fu Jiaming speechless.

When I saw that familiar figure, I almost couldn't hold back my tears of joy. I limped quickly towards him, crying, "Savior..." "Ptooey~ Ptooey~"

"Suning, you've finally arrived!"

"You...were you spitting at me just now?"

"Pah! I'll pah myself!"

Fu Jiaming lightly slapped his mouth, then looked at her with teary eyes, "Su Ning, you'll have to save my life later!"

"?"

What's wrong with this person now that I haven't seen them for a day?
With mosquito coils around his eyes, Su Ning glanced at Yan Bei, who was a step behind and walked up to him: What's wrong with him?
"Ignore him, he's having an attack right now."

"cough~"

Yan Bei raised his fist and coughed awkwardly, "Um, Su Ning..."

"?"

No, what's going on today?
Did one or two of them fall ill? Or did the pastries and cookies mixed with spring water cause some kind of problem for them?
"Wh...what happened?"

That awkward manner might have been cringe-worthy on Fu Jiaming, but on Yan Bei it was somehow... cute?
Huh~
Rubbing the goosebumps that had risen on his arms because of this thought, Su Ning asked stiffly, "So what exactly happened?"

……

As the two of them explained the situation in detail, my once clear mind began to feel confused.

In other words, because of Fu Jiaming's two phone calls, not only the Yan family members whom I had met before, but also Uncle Yanbei's family came.
This isn't just being flattered, it's being horrified!
How come the situation is escalating so much since the debt of gratitude for saving my life has already been made public, and it seems like it can't be stopped?
"Sorry, Su Ning, if you feel uncomfortable, we can go somewhere else."

Knowing full well that his family's real intentions were not what they seemed, and also afraid that such a large gathering would frighten them, Yanbei thought that the suggestion he blurted out was quite good.

"The nearest restaurant is Jingjiang Grand Hotel, where the head chef is an excellent cook of Shandong cuisine. How about..."

"No need to bother."

"No trouble."

Seeing the seriousness in his eyes, Su Ning thought about the enthusiastic Yan family members, and if she added one, two, three, four, five... wow~

"Then, what about the person we made plans with before?"

"Don't worry, Jiaming can handle it. Changing the meeting place won't make a difference."

She glanced at Fu Jiaming and saw that he nodded vigorously without any objection.

She secretly loosened her grip on the handbag, feeling inexplicably relieved that she had escaped a disaster. Without saying anything more, she agreed to Yan Bei's suggestion.

"Then, shall I make a phone call first?"

"Thank you for your trouble, Jiaming."

"Hey, it's all my fault. Don't talk about trouble. I'll be right back. Wait for me!"

"Wait, together..."

Having arrived at the door, knowing that family members and elders were waiting for him, it would be impolite not to go in and say hello.

Besides, she was holding a return gift, so she had to say goodbye before leaving.

"How can he run so fast with a broken leg?"

"Perhaps it's because your secret medicine is too effective, Suning, that my bones are itchy during the healing process."

Silently facing the person spouting nonsense with a straight face, Su Ning nodded, "Oh, that's good."

……

As she expected, as soon as she entered the Yan family's gate, she was warmly surrounded by several elders. Su Ning, whose face was almost stiff from smiling, distributed the prepared gifts to everyone.

Of course, she didn't forget about Uncle Yan's family of five, and luckily the canvas bag she brought for carrying gifts was big enough to make it easier for her to carry out her plan secretly.

After receiving words of thanks, and taking the opportunity to explain the change of location, Su Ning successfully escaped the encirclement and walked out of the Yan family's gate, letting out a deep sigh of relief.

Yan Bei, who was standing close to him, rubbed the calluses on his hands and chuckled, "That scary?"

"It's not scary."

She couldn't resist the enthusiasm, especially the way the elders of the Yan family looked at her as if she were a big piece of meat about to be placed in their own bowl...

Amused by his own inexplicable analogy, Su Ning smiled and didn't explain further. Instead, he handed over the portion he had prepared for him and Fu Jiaming.

"This is for you and Jiaming."

"We...both of us have them too?"

"Of course, since we're all friends, we should prepare gifts for you too."

"Then thank you?"

They exchanged a smile. Yan Bei glanced at the gift, which was different in color and texture from the others but otherwise identical. His mind raced: When could he be the one to receive it all…?

"Yan Qi, Suning has taken care of everything, we can set off now!"
