Chapter 22 Finally
After two or three hours of lively dining, the Xu and Fu families tacitly left early, leaving only Zhao Qian, Xin Yulan and his wife, and Suning.
After all, the two of them had a mission, and now lived in Shanghai. After accompanying her to finish her work, they had to catch the evening train back, so naturally the time had to be coordinated with theirs.
The document signing is not complicated. As a witness, Zhao Qian only needs to follow the process step by step.
"This was given to me by your grandfather. Now I have finally returned it to its original owner."
After reading the will and exchanging signatures on several related documents, Zhao Qian took out a large cowhide bag from his small rattan box and said, "Take a look first to see if there is anything wrong or any questions."
After thanking him with a smile, Suning stood up and took it with both hands. He opened it and examined it carefully on the spot without any hesitation.
Just as my grandfather's will said, most of the Su family's assets were donated to the government in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
What was left behind were nothing more than properties in Beijing, Shanghai, southern Hunan, and Hong Kong, as well as certificates and keys for a batch of gold, silver, and jewelry stored in safes in overseas banks.
As for the Su family ancestral home that was singled out by his grandfather and mentioned repeatedly in the will, Su Ning already had some guesses in his mind when thinking of the old house.
The Su family has been passed down for nearly three hundred years. The wealth accumulated from generations of business must be astonishing, far more than anyone who covets it can imagine.
…
After sending the two elderly people to the guesthouse to rest, Suning took Zhang Zemao, who had been following her in secret to protect her, and the two of them went forward non-stop to several places.
Mao Qianjin has almost completed the independent household registration book, the transfer of grain and oil, and various certificates from the street office. Now she only needs to sign and seal it.
Finally, I went to the bank to get my account ID and take out the things my mother had stored.
Until all these were put away and properly placed, Suning felt that his whole body and mind were relaxed and free.
"Brother Zhang and Brother Mao, you have worked hard these past two days. I will definitely reward you well when we get to Xiangnan!"
"Hahaha, that's great! I'm really looking forward to it!"
Zhang Ze then burst into laughter. It can be seen that he was not opposed to living in a strange city, but was looking forward to it.
However, there was some hesitation in Mao Qianjin's eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Think it over carefully and make sure you have thought it through first.
"I'm waiting too, haha."
"No problem."
…
He Yue, who was standing across the street, saw at a glance his 'good friend' who was chatting with someone not far away with a bright smile on his face.
The two people who were walking with her were alumni of the same school. They naturally noticed and recognized Su Ning by following her gaze.
"Is that Suning? I haven't seen you for a few days. Why do you look so beautiful again?"
"Be more confident. Please change the interrogative sentence into an affirmative one. By the way, I saw this braid in the department store. It cost more than 30 yuan. She looked really good in it!"
"He Yue, aren't you guys friends? Do you want to go say hello?"
Hearing the two people's heartfelt chattering of praise, He Yue's smile disappeared completely.
Ever since the unpleasant parting on the day Suning was discharged from the hospital, the frightened He Yue began to deliberately avoid her.
He Yue still hasn't figured out why the people who used to be inseparable became like this.
Thinking of this, He Yue, who had already made a decision, put on a simple and innocent smile again, explained a few words to the two people who were traveling with him, waved his hand, and ran towards her quickly.
“Ningning!”
It’s… He Yue.
After two days of simple adjustment, Zhang Ze and Mao Qianjin both had a tacit understanding with her that did not require much explanation.
When they saw her implicit eye contact, they separated very naturally, blended into the crowd and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Hey, those two people just now..."
"He Yue, I think I've made it very clear. There's nothing more to say between us."
Being told so bluntly by her again, He Yue almost couldn't maintain the smile on her face, "Ningning, I don't understand. We are such good friends, why do you suddenly do this to me?"
"Did I do something that upset or disgusted you?"
"Tell me, can't I change it?"
Raising his hand to interrupt her chatter, Suning didn't want to waste time on her.
Besides, even if it was just two girls pulling each other like this in the street, it would be bad to attract attention.
"Just tell me, is there something wrong? If you have something to say, tell me what it is. If not, I'll leave first."
He Yue's hands hung at her side, clutching the corner of her clothes, and the fine Dacron material was torn into tiny wrinkles.
"Tell me again, where do you want me to go with you?"
"Backstreet of Minxiang."
Minxiang back street, Minxiang back street...
Why is it Minxiang Back Street?
Could it be that things happened ahead of schedule?
Even this time they changed their tactics?
With his eyes lowered, Su Ning thought quickly in his heart and immediately understood: Xu Zixin knew.
…
Minxiang back street.
In the dilapidated courtyard, half-human-high weeds grew thickly with roots and leaves, and a few clumps of thriving wild roses poked their heads out and covered the entire wall.
Without the eerie silence of the night, there is a unique beauty under the sunshine.
"What went wrong?"
"You ask me? Who should I ask?!"
Xu Zixin growled, looking at Qian Huiru with a cold look in his eyes, "If it weren't for that damned girl Shanshan..."
Everything that went wrong started after Suning was rescued that day.
Qian Huiru was full of grievance and asked in disbelief, "What are you talking about? Are you blaming me for not educating Shanshan well? Who was it that…"
"Shut up!"
After taking a few deep breaths, Xu Zixin, who was caught off guard, tried hard to suppress the anger that was boiling in his heart, and his rationality gradually returned.
The two of them sat in silence for a while, and after a while, they finally calmed down.
"He Yue is sure you can bring Suning here?"
"That girl..."
He Yue certainly couldn't bring her here, but Suning might come himself.
Xu Zixin knew his daughter very well. He knew too well her fearless spirit.
Both father and daughter knew the significance of this small courtyard in the back street of Minxiang to Su Jinglei.
Do you think that since she no longer has a registered permanent residence, has given up on filling out the voluntary application form, and does not care about outside opinions, there is nothing that can be used to hold her back?
Naive, or too naive!
"Brother Xin, Suning is your biological daughter after all, do you really want to do that?"
"What? You, Qian Huiru, have been playing the role of a charitable stepmother for so long that you have forgotten your true nature! Haha~"
Xu Zixin rolled up his sleeves little by little, and for the first time his expression was no longer concealed by gentleness, like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark.
Seeing his face full of viciousness, Qian Hui subconsciously covered her abdomen and felt uncertain and hesitant for the first time.
"Who am I doing this for? For myself? For our son! Don't be so soft-hearted!"
As her hands stroked her abdomen again and again, the little conscience left in Qian Huiru's eyes was completely devoured, leaving no trace.
