After giving a few instructions, she pushed open the door and left, all her emotions gone. She told her mother to go to the kitchen to busy herself, and then pulled Jiang Jianli to continue the previous topic: "I'm an adult now, and I won't live with either of you. I'm heartbroken that you chose to leave this family, but adults can do whatever they want, but they have to be responsible for their actions. After you retire, I will send you money according to my filial duty. I will stay in this family and live with Mom. From now on, we will be two separate families, and a line has been drawn between us. So please don't interfere too much in each other's families, just like I didn't cause you any trouble."
You wouldn't want me to go there and scare someone's unborn child away, would you?
Jiang Jianli's eyes widened instantly, and his face flushed red.
He hadn't told many people about Huang Li's pregnancy, and it had absolutely nothing to do with Jiang Shu: "How did you find out?"
"You don't need to worry about that. Everyone is moving forward. You shouldn't dwell too much on the past. Besides... you can't have your cake and eat it too."
Jiang Jianli then took a serious look at his biological daughter, his gaze filled with a level of genuine concern he hadn't shown in over twenty years.
Jiang Shuyin calmly met his gaze, and in the end, Jiang Jianli was defeated. Those once innocent and clear eyes were now resilient and sharp, yet spotless.
His initial high spirits had vanished; at this moment, he realized he had grown old.
The door slammed shut, and Zheng Lanxiang immediately came out of the kitchen: "Are you done talking?"
"Um."
"...What did you say?"
"Tell him to stay away from us. If he comes to bother us again, I'll go to his house and tear him apart."
Zheng Lanxiang smiled and said, "Let's call Xiao Xie out for dinner. The food is ready."
When Jiang Shu went to call Xie Yin, she opened the door and saw him sitting sideways in a chair, watching the children playing on the bed. Hei Mei had joined in, and Fei Tao and Qing Wu were both pestering her.
"Dinner's ready."
Xie Yin nodded and followed her out.
After the meal, Xie Yin, at her prompting, resigned and returned to his residence. He originally intended to transform into black mist and leave, but his identification system detected that someone was monitoring him in real time.
Upon seeing the red alarm, the young man on the rooftop immediately destroyed all the surveillance equipment, his actions so swift that everyone nearby was baffled.
"What's wrong? You were fine, why did this suddenly happen?"
“That’s right, young master. These supplies are limited now. If they’re destroyed, the cost of buying them back will be more than ten times the original price.”
The young man looked towards the staircase leading to the rooftop: "He's here."
Everyone looked over, and the door clicked open as if by unspoken agreement.
On the quiet rooftop, you could hear the gurgling sounds of everyone swallowing. They all knew that the person they were monitoring wasn't human, so... what kind of monster would he turn into next?
Everyone's imaginations ran wild: a giant, intelligent, tentacle-like monster? A highly advanced mutant? Or...?
As Xie Yin stepped out, he was met with several pairs of gazes. He stood there, and the oppressive feeling he exuded was almost tangible, making it hard for people to breathe.
The young man pushed a wheelchair out from behind the curtain: "Hello, I am Shangguan Chen. The house you live in belongs to me."
Xie Yin's eyes remained calm and undisturbed.
Shangguan Chen: "I've already taken care of everything. Consider the house as compensation for you."
The two sides stood in a stalemate for a long time. Shangguan Chen's back could no longer support him, and the others could clearly hear their own heartbeats, their bodies screaming with discomfort in this environment.
Xie Yin finally spoke: "You have the aura of regression, your soul and body are not compatible."
Shangguan Chen never expected that his biggest secret would be exposed in an instant. The other party only needed one glance to see through everything he had been trying to hide.
Xie Yin didn't wait for his answer. After looking around, he stopped in front of Shangguan Chen and said, "Then please recall what will happen in the future. Since you are paying attention to me, I must appear in one of the cycles you have visited before."
Shangguan Chen did not answer immediately, but pleaded with him first: "I promise that everything I said is true, but please forgive me."
"Tell me about it first."
...
Xie Yin raised his hand to interrupt him: "You just said I would be with human women? What about my people?"
Shangguan Chen: "Yes, as for your people, not much is known, because I did not live long. Before I died, they contributed to world peace under your leadership."
Xie Yin quickly accepted the news that he had a partner. An image of long hair fluttering in the wind flashed through his mind, bringing him a quick and long-lasting pleasure.
"I forgive you." Xie Yin turned and left.
He hadn't originally planned to let it go, but he was so happy now that he didn't want to taint his rare positive emotions with blood.
It wasn't until long after the terrifying 'person' had disappeared from the rooftop that Shangguan Chen finally relaxed his tense shoulders and neck, letting out a long sigh of relief.
She has now won Xie Yin's favor.
He only used despicable means, acting as an online boyfriend for a month in an attempt to gain future benefits.
In her past life, she was an unattainable dream.
The first thing Shangguan Chen did after his rebirth was to persuade his family to sell their property and move to Anshi, the sanctuary with the highest happiness index in the post-apocalyptic world. At first, his parents said he was crazy, but now he has gained the family's voice thanks to his prophetic abilities.
If there's anything I regret, it's that I had to leave her.
His immobile lower body made a creaking, unpleasant sound, like sawing a table leg, so he didn't even dare send her a voice message.
Fortunately, he left in time, which prevented her from meeting Xie Yin.
