Chapter 61 The Turning Point of Fate

After school, the brother and sister rushed home to tell Grandma Jiang the good news.

No one knew that Jiang Xiao possessed a photographic memory and exceptional drawing skills.

Based on his brief encounter with Song Zhining yesterday morning, he sketched her portrait.

As Grandma Jiang looked at Song Zhi Ning's portrait and listened to her grandchildren's stories, she couldn't help but burst into tears of joy.

"Good, good, that's great! Our Ah Xiao and Ah Ling have finally met a benefactor."

"In the future, Ah Xiao and Ah Ling will definitely be rich and powerful."

"Grandma, don't cry." Jiang Xiao and Jiang Ling panicked when they saw her crying.

They hurriedly snuggled up to their grandmother, who hugged them and said, "Grandma, don't cry. Grandma is happy, very happy."

No one knew that a few nights ago, Grandma Jiang had a dream in the middle of the night.

In the dream, Liu Shun was not arrested, nor did she receive any help from benefactors to support her grandchildren. On the contrary, something happened later, not only did the entire Suyan City suffer, but she also died, and Ah Xiao even strangled himself, leaving only Ah Ling, a little girl, all alone.

No one knew that she had secretly cried for a long time after waking up last night.

I thought I had a precognitive dream and was very worried.

Now, Liu Shun has been arrested, and his grandchildren are receiving financial assistance; everything is different from what happened in his dream.

So, dreams are always the opposite, right? The three of them will be fine.

"You must study hard and make something of yourselves in the future to repay Miss Song," Grandma Jiang urged.

“Grandma, we know.” Jiang Xiao and Jiang Ling exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with determination.

Meanwhile, Song Zhining, who was on the minds of the Jiang family of three, did not return to Shanghai, but instead stayed at a hotel in Haiping County.

The mission wasn't finished yet, so Song Zhining wasn't in a hurry to leave.

She is still waiting for someone to appear.

In the hotel, Song Zhi Ning and Su Yue were exchanging messages.

The day after tomorrow is the day they agreed to go to the orphanage. Song Zhi Ning thought that she should have enough time. After the results are in tomorrow, she can go back.

After breakfast, with nothing else to do, Song Zhi Ning wandered around Haiping County. However, because the temperature had dropped and it was quite cold, even though she was wrapped in a thick down jacket, she didn't stay long before returning.

Jiang Xiao and several other classmates have already been taken to the city by their teacher to participate in an English competition.

That afternoon, Jiang Xiaochao performed exceptionally well and ultimately won first prize.

After the competition, the group prepared to return home.

Because it was getting late, the accompanying teacher couldn't buy tickets for that night, so they ended up buying tickets for the earliest bus at 6:00 AM the next morning.

The next morning, Jiang Xiao followed his teacher and classmates onto the earliest bus, heading from the city center to Haiping County.

Less than an hour and a half later, the car stopped at the school gate.

Jiang Xiao said goodbye to his teacher and planned to go home. The other classmates were going in different directions, so Jiang Xiao was the only one on the road at this time.

And because it's the dead of winter and the weather is cold, and it's only a little past seven o'clock, most people are still keeping their doors and windows closed.

If it were during the school term, shops near the school might still be open, but since it's just the start of winter break, those shops that serve breakfast to students aren't opening as early as they should.

The further away from school I went from school towards home, the more remote and quiet it became.

On the quiet road, only the sound of Jiang Xiao walking forward could be heard.

Meanwhile, in the hotel, Song Zhining had already woken up from her alarm. She had washed up, eaten breakfast, and was sitting by the window facing the street, looking out as if waiting for something. She didn't know how long she had been waiting, but then the figure of a man in his fifties came into her view.

Having seen the photos sent by the client, Song Zhining recognized Professor Yu almost immediately.

Moreover, he was carrying a bag of steamed buns.

Just then, the person who had just come into view seemed to slip and fall, scattering the steamed buns all over the ground. The old man cried out and couldn't get up.

Song Zhi Ning was about to get up and go downstairs to help him, but when she saw another figure appear, she stopped and chose to continue looking down.

At this moment, not far downstairs from the hotel.

Professor Yu never expected that he would slip and fall while walking along.

He looked around and saw some barely noticeable vegetable stains on the ground.

He didn't know who had fallen there, because it wasn't very obvious and he didn't pay attention before stepping on it.

The vegetable stains were also oily, and that's why he slipped and fell.

The steamed buns were scattered all over the ground, and he couldn't get up. As soon as he tried to get up, he felt a sharp pain in his pubic bone.

Professor Yu felt a pang of regret, regretting that he hadn't brought his phone with him when he left home, nor had he told the person protecting him.

Professor Yu looked around; it was a remote place, and there wasn't a single person in sight.

How to do?
Just as Professor Yu was about to shout for help to see if the people in the surrounding shops could hear him and come to his rescue.

Suddenly, a boy's figure came into his line of sight.

Just as Professor Yu was about to call for help, he saw the boy spot him first and then jog towards him.

The person who arrived was Jiang Xiao.

"Uncle, did you fall? Let me help you up," Jiang Xiao said as he ran over.

"Okay, young man, thank you. I just accidentally fell and can't get up."

Jiang Xiao used all his strength to help Professor Yu up and led him to a chair outside a nearby shop.

Then he went to the ground and picked up the buns that Professor Yu had scattered. Those that were still in the bag were fine, but those that were scattered on the ground were dirty and could not be kept.

Jiang Xiao could only be thrown into the trash can.

Carrying only half a bag of steamed buns, Jiang Xiao came to Professor Yu's place and said, "Uncle, how about I take you to the hospital? You don't seem to be doing well."

"I need to go to the hospital, but I need to make a phone call first. Young man, could you call this number for me so that my family can come and pick me up?"

"can."

Jiang Xiao memorized the string of numbers he read out and walked into the hotel where Song Zhi Ning was, which was currently open.

Song Zhining, who was behind, didn't see it, but a while later, Jiang Xiao came out and sat down next to Professor Yu again.

“Uncle, I’ve already made the call. Your relative said he’ll be coming right now.”

"Okay, okay, ouch..." Professor Yu pulled on his pubic bone with every movement, and his whole face scrunched up in pain.

Jiang Xiao originally planned to leave, but he was worried about leaving his injured uncle alone.

"I'll wait with you, I'm free right now anyway."

"Okay, thank you, young man. What's your name? Have you had breakfast? Here, have a steamed bun. It's still warm."
