Old Xue and his son let out a deep sigh: "Alright, weâve reached this point, thereâs no other way out."
The man understood clearly what this meant: "Dad, unless itâs absolutely necessary, we must not take that road."
Mr. Xue shook his head with a bitter smile: "Iâm already so old, do I still have to be dragged in and humiliated?"
The man said painfully: "Dad, youâre confused."
Mr. Xue looked at his second son across from him: "Yuhu, the Xue Family is entrusted to you, I know your Big Brother canât handle this burden."
Xinyan heard this and realized who was inside; it was Xue Yuhu, the second uncle of Xue Hongjuan from the Xue Family.
It seemed Xue Hongjuanâs father was not favored by the old man.
Before Xue Yuhu could respond, Mr. Xue said: "Thereâs no need to make excuses, time is tight, besides whatâs openly available in the house, everything else is in the room next door, distribute it as you see fit.
Iâm afraid they will come over before noon today."
He constantly felt more uneasy, hoping they would divide the things quickly and leave the old house, and once the newspaper announcing the severance of relations was out tomorrow, he would fear nothing.
Xinyan understood these words, indicating he intended to seek deathâhow wishful thinking.
Sever relations? No way will you get what you want.
The Gu Family suffered so much hardship, you think a severance application can save your descendants from accountabilityâdream on.
Xue Yuhu left the study and went to the room next door.
When Mr. Xue saw his son leave, he got up and opened the secret compartment behind the bookshelf, took out some items, and then took a large copper basin from under the table beside him.
Xinyan instantly understood what Mr. Xue intended to do.
Before the matchstick that Mr. Xue lit could touch the paper he picked up, he sensed something was wrong behind him, but as soon as he intended to turn around, Xinyan struck him unconscious.
She didnât bother to look at what those things were, collected everything including the copper basin into the space.
Seizing the chance, she operated the mechanism to enter the secret room, where there were still four small boxes, which she also stored in the space.
After restoring everything to its original state, she retrieved a pill she made from the space and stuffed it directly into Mr. Xueâs mouth, accounting death with complete avoidanceâdonât even think about it.
After finishing all this, hearing the door next door opening, she quickly returned behind the screen and entered the space.
Then she saw Xue Yuhu come in, and after rounding the screen: "Dad, what happened to you, somebody come here quick."
Someone rushed in: "Second Master, what happened here?"
Xue Yuhu hurriedly said: "Come over and help me."
The newcomer finally noticed the old manâs condition: "Iâll carry him, Iâll carry him."
The sound of footsteps faded into the distance, Xinyan emerged from the space, went directly into the room next door, and saw that the items Mr. Xue struggled to bring back yesterday had been divided.
Xinyan didnât examine them closely, just put them all into the space.
After finishing, seeing no one was in the yard, she swaggered out of the Xue Family.
Just as she walked out, she saw He Jinxuan jump down from a tree by the courtyard wall: "All done?"
Luckily she had made preparations earlier, slipping a small cloth bag from the next room for cover, Xinyan gave a light âumâ: "Letâs go."
The car drove directly back to the suburban house.
Upon entering the courtyard, they saw Han Jingchen under the eaves watching them: "Youâre back, come on in."
Xinyan entered the house and placed the package on the ground: "Dad, these are the items I saved from Mr. Xue, he was about to destroy them at the time."
Before they could sit down, Gu Wanqing rushed out from the bedroom: "Yanyan, youâre back."
Rushing to Xinyanâs side, she put her hands on Xinyanâs shoulders, looked her over several times, continuously feeling her up and down: "How could you be so bold, going off without a word, what if something happened, what would we do?"
After speaking, she glared at He Jinxuan: "You too, why didnât you stop her, instead engaging in her nonsense?"
He Jinxuan glanced at Xinyan: "It was indeed my fault, I shouldnât have taken her, but the result isnât bad. If Iâm not mistaken, the contents in here are enough to topple those people."
Everyoneâs eyes turned to the package on the groundâthe Gu Family had waited too long for this.
Xinyan took the opportunity to say: "Iâm also quite curious, since time was tight, I didnât manage to see what it contained."
Speaking, she settled Gu Wanqing on the sofa and took out the contents of the package.
When Han Jingchen saw what was inside, he stood up immediately: "Yanyan, these things are very important."
Xinyan understood Han Jingchenâs implication: "Then we should hand them over."
She recalled Mr. Xueâs words: "Additionally, Mr. Xue probably wants to announce severing ties with his descendants to protect the familyâit cannot happen."
