But now it seemed this girl was definitely suspicious.
(That poor fool, Su Sinian, told his grandparents that he would marry Jiang Sisi. At that time, Grandma Su gave Jiang Sisi the Su family heirloom—a dragon-shaped jade pendant.)
(This dragon-shaped jade pendant had been passed down through generations of the Su family, always to the daughters-in-law. What the Su family didn’t know was that this pendant was a rare treasure—it contained a system space.)
Su Sinian knew his grandmother indeed had a dragon-shaped jade pendant, a family heirloom. Originally, his mother had it, but after his parents passed away, his grandmother took it back, saying it would eventually go to a granddaughter-in-law.
He had seen it before: a top-grade imperial green jade carved into a dragon. At first, Su Sinian didn’t believe the girl’s thoughts, but now she even knew something so secret—he had no choice but to believe her.
(Within half a month of receiving the pendant, Jiang Sisi accidentally cut her hand, and a drop of blood fell on the pendant, activating a space.)
(That space was a trading platform, capable of exchanging items from various realms. The platform came with a 500-square-meter space.)
Su Sinian listened in confusion. Trading platform? Space? He didn’t have time to think about it now.
He pricked up his ears and continued listening.
(But Tuanzi, that female lead, Jiang Sisi, was shameless and depraved. She married Su Sinian for six years, bore three sons and a daughter, yet none were his—they were all her countryside lover’s children.)
(Every month, Su Sinian gave her his allowance, raising those children for her, while Jiang Sisi used Su Yunnian’s money to buy her lover a job at the steel mill in Shanghai.)
(They carried on like this in Shanghai. Whenever she found out she was pregnant, she would visit the army, stay in Su Sinian’s dorm for a few days, and soon announce she was pregnant again. Neither the Su elders nor Su Sinian suspected anything.)
(Originally, Su Sinian got injured once. If Jiang Sisi had wanted to save him, she could have simply purchased a Rejuvenation Pill from the trading platform for 200 points—she had more than enough points.)
(Instead, she let him slowly lose his life. This poor fool was even more unfortunate than I am. Worse still, Grandpa and Grandma Su only found out after Su Sinian had passed away.)
Su Sinian’s veins bulged. Who was this Jiang Sisi? He didn’t want to know, because if he did… he would make her suffer far more than death.
(Grandpa Su suffered a cerebral hemorrhage on the spot and died immediately. Grandma Su couldn’t bear the shock and passed away three days later. Before leaving, she told Jiang Sisi about the Su family treasure hidden under the cactus in the garden.)
(The intention was that Jiang Sisi would raise the Su family’s four children properly. Alas, what a family of fools.)
(Sister, do you think Su Sinian will still go to a matchmaking meeting the day after tomorrow? If he succeeds, what then?)
(If that wicked female lead gets the space… well, it’s one thing if she doesn’t know, but if she knows and still obtains such a great space… Tuanzi feels a bit unwilling.)
Sitting nearby, Su Sinian nodded. Not just that Tuanzi felt unwilling—he did too. Once he returned, he would coax Grandma to give him the pendant first.
Their family’s heirloom pendant space was a priceless treasure. No one could take it from him.
He knew the girl next to him must also have a similar space—otherwise, where would that Tuanzi hide?
(Tuanzi, it’s okay to feel unwilling. As long as we Tuan, we just remember: don’t covet what doesn’t belong to us.)
(Sister, Tuanzi remembers. But is there a way to stop that wicked female lead from getting the space?)
(The best method would be to seize the space by force. But that’s difficult. However, if we ruin this matchmaking, won’t the wicked female lead fail to get the space?)
(Wait, Tuanzi, I think I remember. When the female lead returned in the original story, that countryside lover also secretly came along.)
(He didn’t have an introduction letter, so he couldn’t stay at a hotel. He stayed at the old Xie family mansion, which had been confiscated a couple of years ago. Tomorrow night, Jiang Sisi will meet him there.)
(Jiang Sisi loves that scoundrel so much. Tuanzi, should we catch him? If we make a scene, Jiang Sisi and the scoundrel will be tied together.)
(This will prevent her from going out to cause trouble. Two scoundrels locked together—perfect.)
(Wow, sister, you’re so cruel—but Tuanzi likes it.)
(Tuanzi, I’m full now. You missed the braised pork this time, so later I’ll cook chicken for you in the space.)
(Thank you, sister! You’re the best. Tuanzi loves you to death.)
(Then let’s go. Rest at the hospital. Tonight at 8, watch the fun.)
Su Sinian smiled. Good. Tomorrow night at 8. The old Xie mansion. The little girl had provided all this information—he didn’t even need to ask. She would take action herself.
This kind of thing was best left to her. He thought her description of the two scoundrels was very fitting: indeed scoundrels and indeed despicable.
Su Sinian watched the girl. While chatting with Tuanzi, he walked out of the state-run restaurant toward his own home.
He also learned that the girl was resting at the hospital. Later, he would have to get Grandma’s heirloom pendant.
He knew his grandmother had already prepared it. Once he confirmed his marriage, she would hand over the dragon-shaped pendant.
He just needed a way to get it first. After all, his grandmother spoiled him—if he asked, she would even pluck the moon from the sky for him.
He understood he was his grandparents’ only hope. If he sacrificed himself, as the girl’s thoughts suggested, his grandparents would indeed have no reason to keep living.
