The books swayed, and something was pasted on the cover. The security guards were even more horrified when they saw it and quickly lowered their heads.
"Let me in."
Zhou Xiaoning couldn't see the book covers and thought Fang Zong had used some kind of 'sorcery'. She pushed the tightly locked door of the library, only to find that her hand had passed right through it.
I entered the building in a very strange way.
She looked left and right, then suddenly hugged her chest: "You didn't use any other kind of sorcery on me, did you?"
Fang Zong was still flipping through the books when he said, "I have no interest in airports."
It was straightforward and to the point, without any hint of teasing or flirting.
After a whole night, he's now in a more Zen-like state.
Zhou Xiaoning wandered around and found that the building, upstairs and downstairs, was still as clean as it had been yesterday. However, Fang Zong was reading very quickly, and he was reading the same book he had read the night before, which meant—
He wasn't here last night!
"You really went looking for ghosts?" Zhou Xiaoning couldn't believe it.
However, remembering that Fang Zong was a 'monster' made him somewhat relieved.
Monsters should be a little bit stronger than ghosts, right?
Zhou Xiaoning also picked up a book from the collection, but before even opening it, she reluctantly put it down, looked around, sighed, and said, "It seems they've really found a buyer this time, and they must have already agreed on a price. I just heard my second uncle and the others starting to discuss splitting the money... I really hope the book buyer runs into a ghost, so you can read for a few more days."
"Meow?"
Tiger Tyrant was licking his paws and washing his face when he suddenly became energetic.
Who would hope for someone to encounter a ghost? What kind of mentality is that?
How come she's just like me! How awful! But I really like her, I absolutely have to get to know her!
Hu Batian tugged at Fang Zong's trouser leg: "Meow, this woman is not bad."
Zhou Xiaoning was furious.
Fang Zong looked up and asked, "If you like it, how about you have this library?"
"You think you're in charge?" Zhou Xiaoning rolled her eyes at him.
"I'm the one who calls the shots."
Fang Zong blinked, and Zhou Xiaoning exploded. "You're in charge? What do you mean? Are you going to use your sorcery to harm my family?"
Her eyes were round and bulging, and her long, dark eyelashes looked even longer. Although she wasn't very well-developed in some areas, her face had all the right features.
"Forget it, I don't want to." She sighed and said, "I know you monsters are powerful, but this is illegal. Please stop bullying people and stop stealing money. I'll take care of you, okay?"
Fang Zong: "...Oh no!"
Hu Batian was already rolling on the ground, clutching his belly.
Zhou Xiaoning said angrily, "She is, and so are you. None of you like being supported by others, but she's much better than you. She doesn't steal or rob and lives on her own. Don't tell me that the huge stack of banknotes she threw away last night was earned by herself! How did she earn it? By carrying bricks?"
Fang Zong said in a serious tone: "I didn't move bricks, I moved ghosts."
Zhou Xiaoning was furious: "Following me won't starve you! It's much better than stealing or robbing, isn't it?"
Fang Zong smiled, not wanting to explain, nor needing to explain too much.
His encounter with Zhou Xiaoning was purely by chance; it was fate, and when fate brought them together, it was time for them to part ways.
"You're a nice person." Fang Zong patted Zhou Xiaoning's hair and smiled.
With a soft laugh, Zhou Xiaoning noticed that her surroundings began to blur, but only for a moment before sunlight streamed in.
She seemed to see two figures in the sunlight, the door was open, but the person and the cat had disappeared.
"Xiaoning! Xiaoning!" someone suddenly called her.
Stepping outside, he saw a cousin, panting heavily, who exclaimed with delight, "The will! About your will..."
"A will!" Upon hearing the lawyer's words, the living room was filled with the sounds of chairs creaking and tables moving.
Everyone swarmed around the lawyer, a chaotic cacophony of questions and gasps of surprise.
The lawyer smiled at the flustered crowd, a hint of mockery and disdain in his eyes. He took out a document from his pocket, cleared his throat, and said, "To be precise, this is not a will, but a transfer certificate. It was signed by Mr. Zhou himself, transferring his entire book collection to Mr. Fang Zong. Mr. Fang Zong has already funded the construction of a library for the collection, and the maintenance costs of the ancient books are all borne by Mr. Fang Zong. In addition, with the unanimous designation of Mr. Zhou and Mr. Fang Zong, Zhou Xiaoning will serve as the curator of the library."
"Splash..."
After the lawyer finished speaking, at least seven or eight people sat down on the ground, and many more stared at him menacingly.
"It's fake, it must be fake!"
"My great-grandfather died a long time ago, how could this will exist?"
"He's a fraud, arrest him!"
The Zhou family started making a fuss, and Zhou Xiaoning was stunned, not knowing what it meant.
The crowd rushed to arrest the lawyer, only to find that he had taken a few steps to the door, turned back and gave a mysterious smile. At the same time, the room suddenly went cold, and someone spoke in a shrill voice.
"Fake? Does that mean I'm fake too?"
Zhou Wu stood behind Zhou Xiaoning, ignoring the trembling, elderly, and wet-clothes descendants who had put their hands on Zhou Xiaoning's shoulders.
“Young Master Fang Zong… Brother Zong is right. Even if you’re not my biological son, you’re still my child.”
Zhou Xiaoning was still in a daze.
It wasn't fear, I was just simply spacing out.
In the past, she would have been happy to keep all the ancient books, but she has already read them all and really doesn't want to be locked up in this building for the rest of her life.
"Grandpa, could you please stop calling him Brother Zong?" Zhou Xiaoning suddenly took a deep breath, a really deep breath.
Zhou Wu: "Huh?"
