In her previous life, when Gu Ningning married Lu Xueshi, the Lu Family gave her this jade bangle.
She had no idea it was left to Lu Jingchen by his mother.
On their wedding day, Lu Xueshi got completely drunk, claiming he couldn’t accept what had happened at the guesthouse, and he ran out of the bridal chamber in the middle of the night.
At that time, Gu Ningning only knew how to blame herself and never wondered where Lu Xueshi had gone.
Only later did she realize that on their wedding night, Lu Xueshi had spent his wedding night with Shen Xiuxiu.
And she, Gu Ningning, sat in the bridal chamber, crying, filled with sadness, self-reproach, and guilt.
Tears dripped onto the jade bangle, and it surprisingly opened up a space.
The space at that time was a commercial street.
It was even more bustling than Wangfujing Street.
There were daily necessities stores, hardware and plumbing stores, clothing and shoe stores, jewelry and diamond stores, pharmacies, supermarkets, etc. It was with these resources and her audacity that she helped Lu Xueshi become a commercial genius of his generation.
At this moment, Gu Ningning gently stroked the jade bangle, as if caressing a lover’s face.
This was given to her by Lu Jingchen.
Although she couldn’t marry him, she still considered it a token of love.
She would keep his kindness in her heart for a lifetime.
Of course, she wouldn’t take his treasure for nothing.
She would repay him.
Thinking this, a thought flashed, and she was already inside the space.
But she was momentarily stunned.
Isn’t this the commercial street she had poured all her efforts into building in her previous life?
This commercial street encompassed high-end luxury goods, trendy fashion apparel, jewelry, electronic products, cultural items, and specialty foods.
It was a veritable golden street.
It was extremely prosperous, earning vast sums daily.
However, just like in her previous life, this street was static.
There wasn’t a single soul.
The space had everything imaginable, inexhaustible.
After walking a big circle inside, Gu Ningning’s heart was surging, unable to calm down.
At the end of the commercial street, there was also a villa connected to a manor.
This was what Gu Ningning had bought for herself and Lu Xueshi in her previous life.
It was eventually given by Lu Xueshi to Shen Xiuxiu and their three children.
In this life, it was surprisingly within her space.
With such a golden finger, she wouldn’t even need to struggle.
It seems her efforts in the previous life weren’t in vain.
It could allow her to simply lie flat in this life.
Thinking of her Adoptive Parents’ deception, their cover-up for Lu Xueshi and Shen Xiuxiu, and how they harmed her, she didn’t want to let them benefit from anything.
She directly put all her newly bought clothes and valuable items from the room into the villa in her space.
She was too familiar with this space; she didn’t need to explore, handling it with ease.
Because of the space’s golden finger, Gu Ningning slept exceptionally soundly that night.
The next day happened to be Sunday.
Early in the morning, Gu Ningning got up and called Lu Xueshi: “Brother Xueshi, let’s go to Xidan Shopping Mall today.”
Lu Xueshi on the other end of the phone looked annoyed.
He disliked Gu Ningning even more, finding her so shallow.
She was inferior to his Xiuxiu in every way.
“Okay,” Lu Xueshi still replied, though.
As long as they got engaged, he would get the money.
Then, he wouldn’t have to humor this idiotic woman.
It was just that the money in his hand was almost spent.
This woman spent too much.
Fortunately… he hung up the phone and went to find his passbook.
Anyway, he would have money soon, so spending some of his savings didn’t matter.
However, he couldn’t stand it anymore.
After changing clothes, he went to find Old Master Lu: “Grandpa, can you quickly arrange Ningning’s schooling?”
“Schooling,” Old Master Lu hesitated for a moment, then realized that Gu Ningning indeed needed to go to school.
A daughter-in-law of the Lu Family couldn’t be ignorant and useless.
This time, he felt Lu Xueshi had been thoughtful.
“So urgent?” Old Master Lu asked with a frown.
“Urgent, very urgent.” Lu Xueshi couldn’t bear to keep coaxing Gu Ningning and accompanying Gu Ningning every day.
If he continued, he wouldn’t have a single cent left.
Moreover, he was utterly fed up.
Being pestered like this every day, he had no time to spend with Shen Xiuxiu. Lu Xueshi was entangled for five days, visiting the Department Store, Xidan Shopping Mall, Wangfujing Department Store, and Ganjakou Department Store.
He had also spent almost all the money in Lu Xueshi’s pocket.
If it weren’t for the thirty thousand yuan supporting him, Lu Xueshi probably would have hit her.
Who could afford such a spendthrift woman?
Of course, he still had a secret: he knew these investments were all worthwhile.
On the morning of the sixth day, before Gu Ningning’s call came in, Lu Xueshi hurriedly called her: “Ningning, Grandpa has arranged a school for you. I’ll take you to see the school in a bit.”
“Great!” Gu Ningning knew that Lu Xueshi couldn’t stand her pestering him and would arrange a school for her as quickly as possible.
This way, her goal would be achieved.
With the Gu Family’s capabilities, they could only find her a third-rate school.
Plus, her previous grades were very poor, so Mr. and Mrs. Gu Pingwu might not even be willing to spend money or pull strings to find her a school.
Now, entrusting it directly to Lu Xueshi was indeed a good move.
“Are you two going out again today?” Liu Xuehong looked at Gu Ningning, who was smiling so widely she couldn’t close her mouth, and gently frowned.
“What’s wrong, Mom? Brother Xueshi said he’s taking me to see the school.” Gu Ningning said with a beaming smile, genuinely happy.
The plan was progressing step by step.
Everything was going smoothly.
Liu Xuehong’s expression was a bit complex: “The Lu Family’s efficiency is truly fast.”
“Yes, Brother Xueshi cares about me, that’s why he’s so attentive to my matters.” Gu Ningning nodded vigorously, as happy as a blooming flower.
She was naturally charming, much more beautiful than Gu Pingwu, by who knew how many times.
And she was delicately raised.
Her skin was fair and delicate, as if water could be squeezed from it.
Paired with exquisite and charming facial features.
She was dazzlingly beautiful.
This made Liu Xuehong frown even more.
But she didn’t speak.
“Mom? What’s wrong?” Gu Ningning’s heart had always been puzzled: when did her Adoptive Parents find out that Shen Xiuxiu was their biological daughter?
Did they know before her rebirth?
If so, what were they thinking and doing when she was planning to marry Lu Xueshi?
These two were never easy to deal with.
How could they easily let benefits fall to her, their adopted daughter?
That’s right, in their eyes, the marriage alliance with the Lu Family should have belonged to Shen Xiuxiu.
The bridal chamber, the betrothal gifts, and the family property should all have been Shen Xiuxiu’s.
Liu Xuehong quickly composed herself and shook her head: “Mom is fine. Go quickly. After marrying into the Lu Family, you really can’t be as carefree as before.”
Gu Ningning let out a cold laugh at that.
Her Adoptive Mother had raised her to be a complete waste.
Besides dressing up, doing her makeup, she only knew how to be willful, temperamental, and make a fuss.
In the eyes of outsiders, it was just doting on a daughter, spoiling a daughter, nothing more.
Having lived another life, Gu Ningning finally understood that this was a deliberate attempt to cripple her.
Lu Xueshi was punctual, but after dropping her off at No. 3 Middle School, he took a call in the principal’s office and said he had an urgent matter, leaving first.
Leaving Gu Ningning alone to face the principal.
