Chapter 5: The Space Appears, the Net Begins to Close in.
"hiss!"
Cen Yan gasped, and when she raised her hand, she noticed that the blood jade bracelet she was wearing had turned completely red, like a burning ember.
Cen Yan instinctively tried to remove the table, but the next second she felt dizzy.
When I opened my eyes, I found myself in a completely unfamiliar world.
"This is...? Space?"
As Cen Yan gazed at the misty yet vast expanse of black soil, she couldn't help but recall a story her mother had told her when she was a child.
My grandmother's ancestors were woodcutters. One day, while chopping wood on the mountain, she rescued a small animal trapped in a snare, took it home, and patiently bandaged and cared for it.
When the animal recovered from its injuries and was released back into the deep mountains, it suddenly transformed into an immortal to repay the kindness, bestowing upon the woodcutter a jade bracelet stained with the immortal's blood.
Tell him that this jade bracelet contains a secret, and when it meets a destined person, it will shine brightly, revealing its true secret and bringing blessings to future generations.
Could it be that Mom's stories weren't just stories, but that she herself was the destined one?
Cen Yan couldn't help but laugh at this thought. She had just been worrying about how to quietly move the family's assets away.
Unexpectedly, the space appeared the next second. It's like someone just brought you a pillow when you're sleepy!
"I wonder if the jade bracelet space can understand my thoughts. Let me try it first!" Cen Yan took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and silently chanted, "Get out!"
With a change of heart, Cen Yan opened her eyes and was overjoyed. The jade bracelet space could actually be entered and exited at will!
"Let's try something else!" Cen Yan put down the handbag she was carrying and raised her hand: "Storage, put it away!"
The thought flashed through her mind, and the handbag on the ground disappeared. Even though Cen Yan was somewhat prepared, she was still taken aback by this scene.
But she was overjoyed. It seemed she could use the jade bracelet's abilities without entering the space. That was wonderful!
Cen Yan was so excited, like a child who had received a new toy, she put things away and took them out again near the dock.
Cen Yan was not overwhelmed by the shock brought by the space. With the space, she could take away the large ship that contained the Cen family's assets at any time, leaving Shan Jianshe with nothing. But she could not do that now.
If the Cen family's assets are all here, Shan Jianshe wouldn't need to go to the trouble of sending her to Hu Zhiwei to take away.
She could wait until Shan Jianshe thought he had everything from the Cen family and was preparing to flee the mainland, then she could let him taste the pain of falling from the top and losing everything!
On the other side, the Cen family.
Upon learning that Cen Yan had gone out, Hu Li'er immediately ran upstairs to search Cen Yan's room.
Sure enough! Valuable jewelry and nearly 30,000 yuan were all gone!
She rushed downstairs, stamping her feet in panic and cursing, "I told you long ago we should get rid of that bitch, to avoid any unforeseen complications, but you wouldn't listen. Now look what happened! Cen Yan has run away!"
Hu Li'er had a woman's sixth sense; she knew Cen Yan must know their plan.
Just then, an unpleasant voice came from the doorway, "Aunt Hu, who are you trying to get rid of?"
The words stopped abruptly. Hu Lier turned her head and was startled: "Cen Yan, you little brat, you didn't run away?"
“Where did I go? I told you I was going out to buy things. Look, milk powder, malted milk powder, soap... I even bought a watch for my future father-in-law. So many things, it was exhausting! And as soon as I got back, I was scolded for being a slut. Dad, am I even your daughter? You just let others bully me?”
Cen Yan put her things aside, sat down next to Shan Jianshe, and started crying.
Dan Jianshe still favored Hu Lier, and slammed his fist on the table. "Alright, everyone, say less! Yan Yan, why do you cry so easily? You weren't like this before!"
"Dad, I'm going to the countryside tomorrow, and I won't be able to see my family for a long time. How can I not cry? I'll miss you and Aunt Hu, but in Aunt Hu's eyes, I'm just a worthless girl? I don't care! Aunt Hu has to compensate me, otherwise I won't get married, so that people won't think I'm easy to bully if I marry into the countryside and have no one to back me up! I think the gold necklace around Aunt Hu's neck is quite nice."
Cen Yan stared intently at the woman's neck, like a wolf that hadn't eaten for days.
Hu Li'er's face darkened. "You want this? You want that? Are you a reincarnated starving ghost?! No way!"
"Give it to her!"
Dan Jianshe said unhappily, "Yanyan is leaving home soon, so as her stepmother, you should give her more money so she can have some dowry!"
The man's warning look infuriated Hu Lier, who forcefully ripped off her gold necklace and threw it at Cen Yan, "Are you satisfied now?"
"Satisfied, satisfied, thank you Aunt Hu!"
Cen Yan made another profit, and then walked over with satisfaction to place the things she had brought back on the table.
"Dad, Aunt Hu, I'm going to the countryside tomorrow, so I bought extra groceries today. Let's have a good family meal and a few drinks, as if you're celebrating my wedding, okay?"
When Shan Jianshe heard Cen Yan's words, he assumed that she had resigned herself to her fate and was willing to leave with Hu Zhiwei obediently, and his face was very happy.
"Dad will do whatever you want."
Cen Yan placed the dishes on the table, went into the kitchen to get a few glasses, and poured out some wine.
As soon as she sat down, Cen Yan asked, "Where are Shan Xianxian and Shan Hao? I haven't seen them all day. Let's call them down for dinner."
"No need to call them. Xianxian and Ahao went to their classmate's house to play and won't be back for the next couple of days. Yanyan, let Dad drink this first glass of wine. You'll be a married adult soon. When you go to the Hu family, you can't be as willful as before, understand?"
"I know, I will be a good daughter-in-law of the Hu family from now on. Dad, you also need to take good care of your health and don't get angry so often."
Cen Yan smiled and clinked glasses with Shan Jianshe, then gulped down the wine in two gulps.
Seeing that Cen Yan had drunk the wine, Shan Jianshe and Hu Lier confirmed that there was no problem before they smiled and drank it down.
"Uncle, I'd also like to toast you. Thank you for raising such an outstanding Yan Yan. I will treat her well from now on."
Hu Zhiwei, a man who doesn't fall behind others, raised his glass to toast Shan Jianshe, as if celebrating something in advance.
Seeing the three of them gulping down their drinks, Cen Yan's smile widened.
Drink up, drink up! This potent breeding drug bought from the black market, just a fingernail-sized amount, is enough to keep all the boars and sows in the production team aroused for three days.
Now, things are about to get interesting.
