Unexpectedly, Shen Qingran brought it up at this moment.
Zheng Xiuyu didn't expect this girl to be so quick-witted.
This matter has really touched a nerve with Mr. Shen.
"Alright, that's enough. This matter is settled!"
Mr. Shen stood up in displeasure, turned around and walked out.
The stepmother stamped her foot and chased after her.
Shen Qingran looked around. This villa was the only place worth remembering from her childhood.
"Miss, here's some fruit I cut for you!"
A familiar voice came from there, and a middle-aged woman wearing an old-fashioned blue jacket stood there.
Shen Qingran's eyes welled up with tears. It was Zhang Ma!
After her mother passed away, her stepmother came into the family, and it was always Zhang Ma who protected her.
However, before he went to the countryside, his father and stepmother drove Zhang Ma away.
Zhang Ma returned to her hometown, where she missed herself and went to the temple to pray for an everlasting lamp.
He eventually died in the old house.
Unexpectedly, after being reborn in this life, I was able to see her!
Shen Qingran held Zhang Ma's hand and closed the door.
In her past life, Zhang Ma always told her to save more money on her own, but she completely ignored it.
Because I've never lacked money since I was a child.
Naturally, they didn't understand the importance of money.
In this life, I've learned my lesson: money isn't everything, but you can't do without it.
Zhang Ma placed the fruit on the dressing table and looked at the young lady, saying, "Miss, let me tell you, something's not right these past few days!"
Shen Qingran looked up: "Oh?"
Looking around cautiously, Zhang Ma said, "These past few days, Madam and Miss have been putting away some of their important jewelry!"
"Moreover, they were all secretly transported to the basement at night. My wife has been leaving early and returning late these past few days!"
Shen Qingran's eyes turned cold. It seemed they were making preparations!
It's estimated that he took all the gold and silver threads with him after he left.
The Shen family was originally a wealthy and influential family.
Back then, because my father married into the family, my maternal grandfather proposed dividing the family property.
Furthermore, because her mother was her maternal grandfather's only daughter, she received more than her other uncles.
This family fortune is no small amount!
Shen Qingran clenched her fist and said to Zhang Ma, "Zhang Ma, don't worry, I understand!"
"From childhood to adulthood, you've always been the one to protect me!"
"Let me go see my grandmother first, and we'll discuss it when I get back!"
Aunt Zhang nodded, holding Shen Qingran's hand with great pity, and said, "Madam passed away early, leaving only you as her only child. Otherwise, you wouldn't have suffered all these years!"
As she spoke, Zhang Ma was about to burst into tears.
Shen Qingran knew that her mother was known as a talented woman when she was young.
His medical skills were exceptional, but unfortunately, a doctor cannot heal himself.
Many years ago, on the night he returned from a rural medical outreach program, he died in a car accident.
Looking at Shen Qingran's confident demeanor, Zhang Ma seemed to sense something was different, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Zhang Ma looked at Shen Qingran with affection; the child was growing more and more like the madam.
"Aunt Zhang, please make me some sweet bird's nest soup. I'm going to visit my grandmother later!"
Zhang Ma nodded, wiping away tears from the corners of her eyes, and hurried out of the kitchen to get busy.
Shen Qingran carried the bucket, went out and turned a few corners, and a secluded courtyard appeared in front of him.
Unlike her cold expression at home, Shen Qingran now wore a smile.
This bird's nest is very valuable! (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
