That's why she kept causing trouble. Now, Chen Shuning has revealed what she was most afraid of others knowing.

So wouldn't her carefully constructed image of a lonely, destitute woman, built up since she went to the countryside to hide her wealth from others, be about to crumble?

You know, a helpless orphan girl might attract men's pity, but what an orphan girl with money might attract is hard to say.

Therefore, Yang Wanqiu was not afraid of others knowing about her parents, because she had severed ties with her family long before she went to the countryside.

But she was afraid that people would find out she had money, money that she planned to use to get rich later.

To better conceal the existence of that money, she constantly hypnotizes herself, and now she often feels that she has no money.

But now that the secret she had been trying to hide had been revealed by Chen Shuning, how could she not feel resentment?

Then, seeing the two people in front of her chatting and laughing as if she didn't exist, Yang Wanqiu felt as if she had been slapped in the face, burning with pain.

What worries her even more now is that once word gets out that she's rich, she'll never have a peaceful life again.

Upon realizing this, Yang Wanqiu hurriedly denied it, saying, "Shuning, what are you saying? What gold bars or savings accounts? I don't have those things."

As everyone has seen, that's all the stuff I had when I arrived. If I really had gold bars, where would I have hidden them? Shuning, what exactly do you mean by telling this kind of lie?

Shuning, I really don't know why you've become like this, lying so easily now.

"Yang Wanqiu, you know best whether I'm lying or telling the truth, but it's fine if you insist that your mother didn't leave you any gold bars."

"When I have the chance in the future, I might write a letter to your father who's been sent down to the Northwest, and let him take a good stroll around the yard when he has the opportunity to return to your maternal grandfather's old house. Who knows, he might find something unexpected."

Chen Shuning didn't say this very loudly, so at least the eavesdroppers in the front yard definitely couldn't hear it.

Even though Chen Shuning's voice wasn't loud, it still startled Yang Wanqiu quite a bit.

Because her mother did secretly give her a savings book the night before she died.

He also told her that there was a box of gold buried under the ginkgo tree outside her maternal grandfather's old house, and that she could dig it up if she needed money urgently.

She didn't pay attention when her mother said these things, thinking that her mother was in a bad mood because of her maternal grandparents' affairs and was just nagging her about her maternal grandparents' family.

I really didn't expect that my mother was making her final arrangements. If only she hadn't focused all her attention on Dong Weiguo and Chen Shuning at that time.

If she paid even a little more attention to her mother, wouldn't she have noticed that something was wrong with her mother?

If she had given her mother more comfort and companionship, perhaps her mother wouldn't have chosen such an extreme way to leave her.

This is why she hates Chen Shuning so much; besides jealousy, this is the main reason.

But her mother hadn't even told her father where the gold was buried, so how did Chen Shuning know?

There's also the family savings and the public funds that woman embezzled; the factory's accounts are still a mess, and no one has suspected that woman yet.

If she hadn't overheard her father and that woman talking about it one night when she got up, she wouldn't have known about it, so how would Chen Shuning have found out?

Because Chen Shuning could even tell you the amount of money that woman embezzled, and you have to understand that the amount wasn't a whole number, yet Chen Shuning even knew the exact amount of change.

Therefore, Yang Wanqiu had no doubt about the truth of Chen Shuning knowing her secret.

I just don't know how much Chen Shuning knows.

In particular, does Chen Shuning know the secret about his rebirth?

If Chen Shuning knew, would he be arrested as a research subject if he revealed it?

As Yang Wanqiu thought about this, cold sweat broke out on her back, and she no longer cared that He Chaoyang was still there.

He took a few steps to Chen Shuning's side, gritted his teeth, and asked in a low voice, "How did you know about these things?"

How did she know? Of course, the original author told her, but Chen Shuning would not tell Yang Wanqiu this.

Before she went to the countryside, she had considered looting the box of gold as well, but she was pressed for time and didn't want to go too far.

Because of this time travel, Chen Shuning became even more convinced that everything has a cause and effect.

She has already taken so many things that should have belonged to Yang Wanqiu. Even if the original owner died because of her in the book, those things are enough to compensate her.

So I didn't set my sights on that small box of gold.

Yang Wanqiu was unaware of all this, as she was afraid that Chen Shuning would discover her secret of rebirth and reveal it.

Chen Shuning was also afraid that people would find out about her transmigrating into the book.

So when Yang Wanqiu asked Chen Shuning how he knew these things...

Chen Shuning looked at Yang Wanqiu with a mischievous smile, and instead of answering, asked, "Do you remember where you stayed in the days right after your mother's accident?"

Yang Wanqiu certainly remembered that her mother had hanged herself from the rafters in her living room.

So she hardly dared to stay at home for those few days. At that time, she had a good relationship with Chen Shuning, so she went to Chen Shuning's house to stay for a few days.

It was during those few days of staying that Yang Wanqiu learned about the harmony in the Chen family, which was different from her own.

Not only do Mr. and Mrs. Chen never quarrel, but even though Mr. Chen is very busy, he will help Mrs. Chen with chores whenever he is at home.
