Now Song Yining felt at ease. However, she still had to be wary of the Shen couple, fearing that they might resort to desperate measures to frame the Song family and force her to return.

With this benefit, Song Yining felt much more at ease. She then began to make plans, having heard from her mother that the Shen family used to be very wealthy.

Although the Shen family and Shen Zhihe have announced their severance of ties in the newspaper, even a fallen camel is bigger than a horse. The Shen family's public severance of ties must have meant that they left something for their son.

Song Yining shared her thoughts with her father: "Mom and Dad, I have a feeling that the Shen couple will definitely not let this go well. We must be careful from now on."

Looking at his adopted daughter, Song Chengzhi said thoughtfully, "You've really grown up and learned to think things through. Dad will be more careful from now on."

Song Yining said shyly, "After the last time, I feel like I suddenly had an epiphany, and I no longer feel timid or afraid."

Mr. and Mrs. Song were happy for their daughter, and now they were relieved that she wouldn't be bullied at school.

Song Yining decided to tell the truth, otherwise her parents wouldn't suspect her change in the future.

Song Yining has recovered quite well in the past few days, and her parents have gone to work now.

Song's mother was going back to her parents' home that evening, and Song's father was also going after get off work, leaving Song Yining alone at home.

Song Yining reassured her parents that she could manage on her own at home, and after they left her various tickets, she hurried off to work.

Song Yining changed her hairstyle, put on a very old outfit, and looked in the mirror. She looked completely different from the Song Yining she used to be.

Satisfied, Song Yining went out to find where the Shen family lived. Based on her mother's description, Song Yining roughly knew that the Shen family lived in a former villa.

The Shen family's place is easy to find. Recently, due to the hot weather, there are elderly people sitting at the entrance of the alley to cool off.

Song Yining listened as if it were old men and women chatting idly at the entrance of an alley. One of the women, seeing a stranger's face, asked curiously, "Young lady, who are you from? You look unfamiliar."

Song Yining smiled and said to the older women, "I just happened to be passing by and saw you chatting, so I joined in the fun. I used to chat with my grandma at the alley entrance all the time."

"My grandmother passed away recently, and seeing you all chatting reminded me of her."

The older women looked at the girl and were deeply moved, saying, "This girl is very filial. You can listen to our chats when you have time."

Song Yining smiled and said, "Okay then." After saying that, Song Yining joined the gossip army.

Right now, the gossip army is chatting about the latest juicy gossip they know, and everyone is listening with great interest, while still keeping an eye on their shoes and sewing on patches.

A short while later, Song Yining saw what appeared to be her biological mother, Han Ping, and a girl named Shen Shiyu, whom the original owner of the body hated. The two of them walked out of the alleyway intimately.

Song Yining now knows that Shen Shiyu is the adopted daughter of her biological parents.

This really shows what kind of people meet. She bullied the original owner at school, but pretended to be a good girl at home. She's just like that despicable couple.

What a two-faced person! Let's settle our old scores and new grudges together. The mother and daughter walked past everyone, still acting superior and arrogant.

They completely disregarded these elderly neighbors, walking past them as if they hadn't seen them at all.

After the mother and daughter walked away, the group of middle-aged women started gossiping again, this time about the mother and daughter.

The old lady said, "They really think they're still the rich ladies they used to be. If it weren't for the great kindness of the old man of the Shen family, who donated his entire fortune to pave the way for his son, do you think they would be where they are today?"

The second aunt said, "Han Ping has spoiled Shi Yu so much that she still thinks she's from those years. She dresses up in fancy clothes all the time, just like J used to be."

The old lady said, "The second son of the Shen family is a hopeless romantic. He's always chasing after his wife. Old Master Shen disliked this daughter-in-law back then, which is why he broke off relations with his son."

The older woman said, "..."

Song Yining watched these middle-aged women talking about the Shen family. He was very curious about how they could be so arrogant when the situation was so serious.

Song Yining asked curiously, "Ladies, does the Shen family only have one daughter? Don't they have any other children?"

The older women said, "She's the only one. Shen Zhi treats them like treasures and has spoiled them, mother and daughter, all these years. If it weren't for the fact that he doesn't allow hiring help, Shen Zhi wouldn't have let Han Ping cook."

The older women said, "This girl is only a teenager, she doesn't know anything and she's very wicked. Last time, my little one accidentally kicked Chen Shiyu's foot while playing soccer."

The venomous words kept pouring out of her mouth. Can you believe who has such a vicious girl? At such a young age, she's like a sow trying to fly! Neither mother nor daughter are any good.

Listening to the older women's words, Song Yining knew that the three members of the Shen family didn't have a good reputation in the alley.

After a morning of gossip, Song Yining said goodbye to the older women and watched them go home. Following in their footsteps, Song Yining finally found the Shen family's house.

After scouting the location, Song Yining planned to come back in the afternoon, but first she needed to fill her stomach.

Fortunately, the state-run restaurant wasn't far away, so Song Yining bought herself a bowl of scallion oil noodles and finished it off in no time.

Before leaving, they also packed five large meat buns and a serving of chive and egg dumplings.

While no one was around, I stored everything into my spatial storage, so I wouldn't have to worry about going hungry while he was keeping watch.

This time, Song Yining took another stroll around the Shen family's area to take in the terrain and the surrounding environment.

The courtyard next to the Shen family's house seemed to be uninhabited, so Song Yining used the momentum to jump into the courtyard.

Fortunately, the wall didn't look very high from the outside, and Song Yining took advantage of the fact that no one was around to jump into the yard.

Song Yining grew up in the countryside with her grandparents, climbing trees to steal bird eggs and fishing in the river. She also learned basic self-defense techniques in college.

Fortunately, there was no one in the courtyard. It was hot and everyone was taking a nap. The surrounding buildings were all single-story, so Song Yining wandered around the courtyard without fear of being discovered since no one was around.

The Shen family's courtyard seemed to be a traditional courtyard house, with five main rooms and side rooms on the left and right. The pomegranate trees in the courtyard were lush and green, adding vitality to the whole house.

Song Yining didn't have the mind to observe carefully; she also had to be wary of someone returning.

Just as they were about to take a walk around the yard to see if anything was different, the gate rang, and Han Ping and her daughter returned.

Song Yining quickly entered the space and saw Han Ping and the others carrying the things they had bought. The two seemed to be in a good mood.

As Han Ping walked into the main room, she gestured with the things she had bought, while Shen Shiyu said, "Mom, haven't you found what Dad asked you to find yet?"

You've lived here for over a decade, yet you still can't get those things out of us, and you expect us to stay here.

Seeing my own father call me "uncle" is incredibly awkward. You need to find these things quickly; my dad needs them to pave the way for him, so my daughter and I can have a better life in the future.

Upon hearing what her daughter said, Han Ping, who had just been in a good mood, now looked very uncomfortable.
