Chapter 232: Chapter 230: Slapping the Reborn Apocalypse Girl 11
Su Leqing is unwilling to go on a blind date.
She is wholeheartedly invested in Zhou Zhigang, the strongest in the apocalypse.
She tries hard to recall memories and vaguely remembers that Zhou Zhigang has also been in the Capital recently.
Zhou Zhigang’s home is in a remote mountainous area, and his family struggles to make ends meet.
His father passed away early, leaving his mother to raise him and his sister through hardships.
Zhou Zhigang’s mother doesn’t favor sons over daughters; she treats them equally well.
Zhou Zhigang also deeply loves his younger sister. Knowing he was not academically inclined, he dropped out of school early to support his sister’s education.
Zhou Zhiyan, Zhou Zhigang’s sister, excels academically and has always ranked first in her exams.
Now that Zhou Shiyuan has been admitted to a university in the Capital, Zhou Zhigang, worried about his sister and thinking that working anywhere requires effort, also came to work in the Capital.
He seems to be working as a laborer at some construction site.
Su Leqing knows a bit about Zhou Zhigang’s situation, but not comprehensively.
What she needs to do now is find him and bring him warmth.
Meanwhile, Su Peng started to sell the company’s shares.
Su Peng owns forty-eight percent of the company’s shares, his wife Zhao Fang holds ten percent, and their daughter Su Leqing has five percent.
Together, they own sixty-three percent of the shares, and selling these shares isn’t an easy task.
The company’s shareholders don’t have enough financial capability to buy them, and other companies need to carefully scrutinize before purchasing.
Su Peng has been busy getting appraisals and hasn’t had time to deal with Su Leqing.
Su Leqing hired a private detective to look for Zhou Zhigang everywhere.
She believes her actions are covert, but the Xiao Family’s influence is much stronger than the Su Family’s. Furthermore, Anning’s performance at the Xiao Family’s doorstep made Xiao father and son suspicious, so they started to monitor her.
Xiao Yuan also had people watch Su Leqing. Learning that she was looking for a construction worker, Xiao Yuan didn’t know how to react.
His first thought was that Su Leqing had gone mad.
His second thought was that there was something fishy about this matter.
Su Leqing’s recent behavior has been somewhat abnormal, and Xiao Yuan has a premonition that uncovering the reasons behind her actions could greatly benefit their family.
He instructed his people to closely monitor Su Leqing and also discussed this matter with Xiao Zhiyuan.
Xiao Zhiyuan also felt that something was amiss.
"The Su father and daughter always think too highly of themselves; they believe they are of noble birth and wealth and look down on ordinary people. What exactly is Su Leqing doing making such a fuss about finding a construction worker?"
Xiao Zhiyuan pondered but couldn’t understand.
Xiao Yuan also frowned.
It happened that Xiao Yuan’s sister Xiao Keke was coming home on Sunday.
She went to the study to find Xiao Zhiyuan and Xiao Yuan and heard Xiao Zhiyuan’s remark.
Xiao Keke also knew about Su Leqing and Xiao Yuan breaking off their engagement, and she was quite upset, feeling that Su Leqing didn’t appreciate what she had.
Anyway, Xiao Keke never liked Su Leqing, and after being angry, she thought this might be a good thing.
She came back intending to congratulate Xiao Yuan on successfully breaking off the engagement, but to her annoyance, she heard her father and brothers still discussing Su Leqing.
"Dad."
Xiao Keke pouted as she entered: "If the Su family wants to break off the engagement, then let them. My brother is so outstanding; without her, he will definitely marry a better sister-in-law for me. You should be happy, why are you still talking about her? If you ask me, our family should never mention the Su family again."
Xiao Zhiyuan smiled and said nothing.
Xiao Yuan asked Xiao Keke to sit down.
Xiao Keke, although the little princess of the Xiao Family, was not overly pampered from childhood. Her father and brother from the Xiao Family did not want her to be out of touch with the common life, and they had strict demands on her when she was young, and later taught her a lot of things about human relationships, including matters about their family business, which they basically would also discuss with her.
Xiao Keke herself was very outstanding, holding exceptional views on many matters.
Xiao Yuan wanted to hear her thoughts, so he recounted the incident where the Su family came to break off the engagement at the door, as well as Su Leqing currently finding a construction worker.
Xiao Keke fell silent after hearing this.
She pondered for a while, then her eyes suddenly lit up.
"I understand now."
Xiao Zhiyuan and Xiao Yuan were taken aback, not expecting Xiao Keke to figure it out in such a short time.
Xiao Keke snapped her fingers: "Dad, brother, the bracelet you mentioned, is it the Tang Family’s heirloom?"
Xiao Yuan nodded, and Xiao Keke said, "Under normal circumstances, that bracelet is very likely to be a powerful Magic Artifact or an Immortal Artifact, and the greatest possibility is that the bracelet has a space."
Xiao Zhiyuan slapped Xiao Keke on the head, "Nonsense, have you been confused by the novels you read?"
Xiao Keke rubbed her head feeling wronged, "If it’s not a space, then why is Su Leqing so desperate to get it? It’s just a broken bracelet, she never cared much about bracelets worth tens of millions."
That made sense, indeed.
Xiao Yuan gestured for Xiao Keke to continue.
Xiao Keke then said, "Let’s assume it’s a Space Bracelet, usually, in such cases, the protagonist is a girl who acquires the space bracelet, either through time travel or... or..."
"Or what?"
Xiao Zhiyuan asked urgently.
Xiao Keke covered her head, "If I say it, you can’t hit me."
Xiao Zhiyuan’s eyes showed a smile, "Go ahead, I won’t hit you."
Xiao Keke boldly said, "It’s the apocalypse coming, I’ve read several apocalyptic rebirth novels like this."
While thinking, she continued, "According to the usual pattern, Su Leqing should be reborn. She must have had a particularly miserable life before rebirth. And before the rebirth, she knew Tang Anning had a Space Bracelet, and after rebirth, she did everything to get it. Once she obtains the bracelet, she will recognize it as hers, get a special space, and then fill the space with supplies. If that’s the case, then the Su family would definitely be selling their company shares now because Su Leqing needs a lot of cash to buy supplies."
Xiao Yuan’s face changed, becoming extremely serious.
Xiao Zhiyuan also looked very solemn.
Xiao Keke looking at her father and brother’s faces, smiled smugly, "Is the Su family selling shares?"
Xiao Yuan nodded heavily.
Both he and Xiao Zhiyuan thought of a possibility.
Su Leqing’s eagerness to break off the engagement indicates that if there is an apocalypse, the situation of the Xiao Family would not be very good.
Anning watched thousands of miles away as An Xin broadcasted some videos about Su Leqing.
How Su Leqing anxiously searched for Zhou Zhigang, and how Su Peng was selling company shares.
She laughed heartily.
Right then, Yin Baichuan and his wife came to visit.
Anning opened the door and let them in.
The faces of Yin Baichuan and his wife were not looking great, after entering, Yin Baichuan very solemnly handed out a bank card with both hands, "We have no other intentions, this is to thank Miss Tang for saving our family. Please accept it."
Anning did not decline and took the bank card.
Yin Baichuan and his wife then sat down.
He started straight to the point, "Miss Tang is truly a wise person, everything you said was true. This time when I returned to my hometown, I asked carefully, indeed, I am not my parents’ biological son. The man I thought was my uncle is actually my biological father. My parents passed away early, and I don’t remember them as they left the world when I was very young, and since then my current parents have been raising me..."
Anning nodded after listening to Yin Baichuan: "Your cousin probably knows about this, seeing that you possess a lot of wealth but couldn’t get it, he harbored thoughts of harming your son, expecting that you and your wife wouldn’t be able to bear it and would pass away early, thus they could inherit your property."
Yin Baichuan gave a bitter smile, "You guessed right, they really thought so, in fact, as soon as I became a contractor, they already had their designs, otherwise, my eldest son wouldn’t have died of illness."
