Chapter 1 A first look at the future
[“Ningning, tell Dad, where are the things your mom left for you? What are they?”
"Ningning, you have to be obedient, otherwise Daddy can't guarantee what he will do to you!"
"Ningning, Daddy's patience is limited. If you still don't cooperate tomorrow, you will suffer even more."
…
"Ningning, Ningning, what's wrong with you?"
Su Ning was breathing rapidly and his chest was heaving violently, and the hair on his forehead was all soaked with sweat.
Looking at the person who was holding his arm with a worried expression, and thinking of the scene that just suddenly appeared in front of him, a chill rushed from his tailbone to the top of his head, and goose bumps appeared all over his body.
She shook his hand off reflexively and screamed uncontrollably, "Don't touch me!"
"Okay, okay, daddy won't touch you, won't touch you. Ah, don't get excited, Ningning, you still have a needle in your hand!"
Xu Zixin was obviously stunned by his daughter's sudden extreme reaction, but thinking about what the doctor had said to him before, he thought she was suffering from the sequelae of falling into the water and being near death, so he didn't take it to heart.
I had to suppress the hidden unhappiness in my heart and continued to comfort her in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, the bad guy has been caught by the police. Besides, Dad is here, and he won't have the chance to hurt you again. Ningning, don't be afraid."
What a sincere and heartfelt statement, full of loving words for a beloved daughter.
If the images that emerged one by one were not too real; if the images I saw from the nurse and the doctor when I woke up had not been confirmed and happened; if I had not wanted to try the experiment again out of curiosity and chose my father who rushed over...
Suning had to accept that this accident really gave her strange abilities, allowing her to peek into the future through the people around her.
She also had to believe that her father, who had loved and doted on her since she was a child, would treat her like that in the near future.
With her eyes lowered, her long, curled eyelashes cast a shadow, concealing the complexity and obscurity within.
Only after pinching the tender flesh in his palm and taking a few deep breaths did Su Ning regain his composure, "Dad, I'm sorry, just now I..."
"Be good, Dad knows everything."
Xu Zixin waved his hand to interrupt his daughter's self-blame, sat down on the chair beside the bed again, and considerately changed the subject so that she wouldn't feel embarrassed.
"Your Aunt Qian is making soup for you at home. She will be here soon. Are you hungry? How about Dad go to the cafeteria and get us some food?"
Even though he is nearly forty years old, he still has an upright posture, a clear and handsome smiling face, and his every move exudes the unique charm of a mature man.
No wonder, with such good looks and acting skills, not only did his mother, who was a rich girl, remain devoted to him until her death, but he also made Qian Huiru willing to wait for him for more than ten years.
"No need, Dad. I'm not hungry. Tell Aunt Qian to stop bothering me. The doctor said I can be discharged from the hospital after the drip is finished."
"Don't worry so much. Dad has already found someone at school to make proper arrangements. There's still time for the college entrance examination results to come out. Why don't we stay in the hospital and observe for a few more days?"
There are less than five days left before the future she sees, so she needs to think carefully about how to deal with it next in order to break the impasse.
Time was running out and she had no time to waste.
Besides, she knew her own body well, and apart from being too frightened, there was nothing serious.
"No thanks, Dad. I just want to go home."
So Suning chose to refuse without hesitation, and for the first time his tone was firm, without his usual obedience.
The smile on Xu Zixin's face remained unchanged, but the fingertips hanging on his legs nodded unconsciously.
The narrow, upturned phoenix eyes looked at the person sitting in a circle on the bed without leaving a trace.
Her long, satin-black hair was gathered behind her, making her slightly chubby face look even whiter. Her facial features became more and more perfect and delicate, and with the dimples that were unique to Xu's daughter, she was even prettier than her mother when she was young.
After thinking about it, I couldn't find anything wrong, so I could only blame it on this accident.
Shaking his head secretly, Xu Zixin spoke with a reproachful tone but his eyes were filled with deep doting, like a true daughter slave. "Okay, go home, go home. I really can't do anything about you."
…
The steel plant’s family compound.
"Mom, it smells so good, what delicious food are you making? Let me taste it first!"
Xu Shanshan casually put the schoolbag on the table. She smelled the aroma of meat that filled the room and could hardly control her saliva.
“Wow, chicken soup!”
Although the Xu family's conditions were among the best in the staff compound, in this era of food and clothing shortages, even if one was rich, one could not necessarily enjoy delicious food every day.
So when Xu Shanshan saw the full pot of chicken soup on the kitchen stove, she couldn't help but shout out excitedly, "Well, I want to eat a big chicken drumstick!"
“Nonsense!”
Qian Huiru slapped her daughter's hand away and began to complain angrily, "You little girl, you have enough to eat and drink, why are you still stretching out your hands for meat like a beggar out there!"
"Oh, Mom, be gentle, it hurts~"
Seeing the back of her hand turn red instantly, Xu Shanshan grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Besides, I'm eating my own food, how can I become a beggar!"
"I really spoiled you!"
Qian Huiru was helpless about her daughter who could never grasp the main point of the words. "Your father just called and said that Suning has been discharged from the hospital and will be home soon. For your father's plan..."
"Oh, I know!"
Xu Shanshan waved her hands impatiently. Her originally pretty face was ruined by the hostility in her eyes and looked hideous and terrifying.
What you have to be well-behaved and sensible to keep your dad here, what you have to be close to Suning and get her to like you to stay in the Xu family.
From childhood to adulthood, as the daughter of Xu Zixin, Su Ning had everything she wanted and grew up like a treasure.
And she, who has a father who cannot be recognized, has poor food and clothing, and is ridiculed and despised by others. After finally moving into the Xu family, she still has to please Suning in everything and put her first. On what basis? !
"Shanshan!"
Pinching her hard and looking at her daughter who was already a little crazy, Qian Huiru spoke hatefully.
"A little impatience can ruin a great plan! You've persisted for so many years, why do you still care about these few days? If you dare to do anything weird again, not to mention your dad, I won't forgive you either!"
Hearing this, Xu Shanshan swallowed back the dissatisfaction that was about to come out of her mouth, and was even more shocked in her heart.
"Mom, what are you talking about? I...I haven't done anything lately!"
After saying that, he didn't argue with her anymore. He turned around and left the kitchen quickly, picked up his schoolbag and returned to his room.
Plop, plop~
My heartbeat accelerated, louder and louder, bouncing in my chest.
Xu Shanshan leaned against the door, her fingertips turning white from gripping the straps of her schoolbag with too much force: She did it so secretly, no one would find out, absolutely not!
