Half an hour later.
Xu Xinghe walked out of the building and rushed to the supply and marketing cooperative.
She just exchanged a lot of money for tickets from the building manager and the others.
She's a meritorious person who donated money; she's just exchanging it for tickets, so the country certainly won't treat her unfairly.
This time, she can have a proper shopping spree.
I'll put them all into the space and take them to Heilongjiang Province together.
She had heard that the environment there was extremely harsh, and she had to prepare herself and Jiang Linchuan.
At this point, there were only three days left before departure.
Xu Mingli has already been admitted to a mental hospital. Even if he is released in three years, it is not a big deal.
Without the Xu family's assets, he's nothing.
Xu Mingyi is being pressured by the Wang family, and it won't be long before he marries Wang Jiao.
With so many awful relatives clinging to him, he can't escape even if he wanted to.
If he dares to run, the Wang family would definitely break his legs.
Xu Mingxin dared to act like a hooligan in front of the police chief; he will definitely go to jail.
Even if they don't die, they'll still be labeled as criminals, and they're unlikely to cause any trouble.
With those three troublesome beasts gone, the rest of the matter becomes much simpler.
Xu Xinghe used these three days to first have someone write an article, which was then published in the newspaper.
The article naturally revolves around the three adopted sons of the richest man, and the language used is quite sensational.
She also bribed many people to spread the word widely, ensuring that everyone in Shanghai, from sixty-year-old elders to six-year-old children, knew about their deeds.
Then, she paid the remaining balance to the thugs who had dealt with Xu Mingxin.
No sooner had she given it than she contacted the old housekeeper and sent someone to snatch it back, and also to find a way to send those thugs in.
These people are no good; who knows what they'll do with money.
Xu Xinghe didn't want to leave any potential problems for ordinary people in Shanghai because of himself.
On the last day, she went to the Lian family again and handed over the keys to the villa and the old house to Old Master Lian.
"Grandpa Lian, I've already bought my train ticket for tonight and I'm heading to Heilongjiang Province ahead of schedule. I'll have to trouble you to look after these two places. I'll be back in the future."
Old Lian did not refuse. "Alright, I'll find someone to look after you. You don't need to worry. I guarantee that you'll be exactly the same when you left as when you came back."
Xu Xinghe was deeply moved and took out several porcelain bottles and placed them on the table. "Grandpa Lian, these are the tonics I prepared long ago. You only need to take one a month."
"No need, take the things back. I'm already old, I don't need such good medicine."
Upon hearing this, Xu Xinghe immediately pretended to take back the keys, saying, "If Grandpa Lian doesn't agree, then I won't let you look after the house. It's because Grandpa Lian doesn't treat me like one of his own."
Looking at her pouting face, Old Master Lian laughed heartily, "Alright, since you've put it that way, I have to accept it. Lian Xiao, have you packed your things? Hurry up and take them with you, Xinghe. Remember, you must protect Xinghe's safety on the road. If she loses even a single hair, see how I deal with you!"
Lian Xiao walked out of the room, his previous trendy look gone. He changed into a crisp white shirt and dress pants that made his legs look extremely long. His soft black hair fell over his eyebrows and eyes. Compared to his previous slicked-back hair, he was less unruly and more like a young man.
He grabbed his hair impatiently. "Grandpa, do we really have to go?"
Seeing his expression, Xu Xinghe quickly waved her hand, "Grandpa Lian, there's no need for Brother Lian... Lian Xiao to take me. I can manage on my own."
Old Master Lian's stern expression softened instantly. "Xinghe, I've already made arrangements for him to go to Heilongjiang Province as well, to get some training. So it's not just me seeing you off; he'll be leaving on his own anyway. You two can travel together, so don't feel guilty."
After saying that, he turned his head and scolded again in a stern voice, completely different from his previous gentleness, "Aren't you going to take your things? Do you expect me, this old man, to help you!"
Lian Xiao: "..."
Is this his biological grandfather?
Unfortunately, he didn't dare to say no. Otherwise, given the old man's personality, he might have thrown him into the harshest place to toughen him up, and who knows if he would come back alive.
So be it, it's still better than Tibet...
Lian Xiao turned and went inside, took out a handbag, glanced at Xu Xinghe, and walked towards the door. "Follow me."
Old Master Lian smiled again, "Xinghe, go quickly."
Xu Xinghe had no choice but to follow.
Lian Xiao was tall and had long legs, so he reached the gate of the compound in just a few steps.
Xu Xinghe could only jog, "Brother Lian... Brother Lian Xiao, slow down."
Her body was too delicate; she would get out of breath after running just a few steps. Fortunately, she had been taking spiritual spring water for the past few days, otherwise she would have been even less able to keep up.
Lian Xiao had no choice but to stop and involuntarily look at her short legs.
Although she was wearing a long dress, you could still see her two straight and slender legs as she moved, which must be as white as her face.
Lian Xiao gritted his teeth in frustration, cursing himself for being so spineless as to think about such things. It seemed he had truly reached the age where he should be dating.
He immediately looked away, his attitude even colder than before, but he still quietly slowed his pace.
Xu Xinghe followed closely behind.
Lian Lao's adjutant drove him away.
They went to the Xu family's house first to collect their luggage before heading to the train station.
Xu Xinghe stood at the entrance of Shanghai Railway Station and couldn't help but look back.
Once he leaves, he doesn't know when he'll be able to return.
"Mom and Dad, I'm leaving now. Don't worry, I will live a good life."
After speaking softly, Xu Xinghe entered the train station without further hesitation.
Lian Xiao was right next to him and heard those words as well.
His previously cold gaze softened slightly. Oh well, why should he get angry with a little girl? After all, she's the daughter of the richest man; it's normal for her to be a bit spoiled before. He couldn't condemn her entirely because of what happened in the past.
Not to mention, she's not even an adult yet and is already all alone. Although she doesn't seem that stupid, it doesn't mean she won't be bullied.
Lian Xiao reached out and picked up Xu Xinghe's suitcase. "Let's go."
"Wait, I can take it myself."
Lian Xiao ignored him and continued walking forward.
Seeing this, Xu Xinghe stopped talking and simply said sweetly, "Thank you, Brother Lian Xiao."
Five o'clock in the afternoon.
The train from Shanghai to the provincial capital of Heilongjiang Province finally stopped at the station.
Lian Xiao carried two large packages and walked at the front, protecting Xu Xinghe firmly behind him.
The two boarded the train smoothly and found adjacent sleeper berth numbers.
Lian Xiao stuffed his luggage under the bed. The aisle was narrow, so his long legs had to be curled up awkwardly. "Rest now. Just call me if you need anything."
After saying that, he lay down, but unfortunately his legs were too long, so he could only pull them back a little.
Xu Xinghe looked at him and thought of her past life.
After Elder Lian passed away, Lian Xiao immediately went to Xu Mingli's home to see her when she returned to Shanghai, hoping to check on her condition, but unfortunately he was turned away.
He was a good person too.
Xu Xinghe took an apple out of her bag. "Brother Lian Xiao, here you go."
As soon as Lian Xiao opened his eyes, he saw her smiling like a spoiled kitten.
