She reclaimed her family property and broke off her engagement to go to the countryside.

Chapter 20 Valuable Gifts of Questionable Origin
"What, you want to send it as well?"

This time, she wasn't in a hurry; instead, she patiently and earnestly persuaded him.

"Since I promised you, I will definitely help you."

However, my job is indeed quite demanding, so please remember to prepare a substantial gift to show our sincerity.

Tang Weiyu could accept this explanation, but she was still troubled.

"Okay, can I go with you tomorrow?"

"It's better not to. They don't know you, and it wouldn't be good to come to their door without permission."

"Once I've convinced you, you can go over, show your face, and complete the formalities while you're at it. That'll be fine."

Seeing Ji Shuyin like this, she felt something was off, but she had nothing to say.

Now Gu Yuncheng probably won't give her money anymore, since Gu's mother is back, and she'll have to think of other ways.

Ji Shuyin lay on the bed without making any noise or turning on the light.

It wasn't until late at night, when the Gu family was completely silent, that she slipped into the space.

I couldn't wait to open that metal box.

Just as she predicted, the key was indeed a star pendant.

However, what was inside surprised her greatly.

That box was full of documents and quite a few manuscripts.

It's clear that many of the later items were put in hastily and haven't been organized yet.

These should be the mother's research data.

She hid it because she was afraid there would be problems, and also because she was afraid it would be destroyed.

Aside from that, there were some professional books, but no treasure as Tang Weiyu had mentioned in her dream.

Something's not right. The Ji family is a century-old family, and their ancestors were once very distinguished.

If that's all there is to it, it's truly baffling; there must be something else that you've overlooked.

Ji Shuyin dared not be careless. Although these materials were also treasures, they were ultimately not as valuable as money.

I'm organizing everything slowly, not daring to miss a single one.

In the end, they actually found a property deed and a set of keys.

In this era, house ownership was still based on these house deeds.

The homeowner listed above is Ji Ming, but this is not anyone in their family.

But if the surname is Ji, then it means they have a connection with their family.

It seems I have to go and check this place out tomorrow.

She quietly went out to relieve herself, and as she passed by her parents' room, she overheard them talking quietly.

"That brat today really made me furious. She made me lose five hundred yuan for nothing."

"What's the rush? It'll all be ours later."

How can someone who can't even maintain composure accomplish great things?

"If you're capable of great things, then let her leave our house!"

"Before, when there were two old geezers around, our marriage was considered a step up for us. Now, I don't want my son to marry a tyrant."

No wonder Gu's mother never liked him; this is a case of a petty person gaining power overnight.

"You should say less. Once she has secured a job, we'll let her go to the countryside."

Finally, find a suitable match for your son.

Ji Shuyin was stunned, never expecting that this was actually Gu's father's idea.

This family is indeed full of bad people. I must move my plans forward, or I'll face endless troubles.

"I think the Tang family girl is alright, capable, and has a good temper. Otherwise, why don't we let her give it a try with my son?"

"The Tang family's origins are simply too humble."

Let's talk about this later. Have you kept everything I gave you safe?

"Don't worry, they're all under the bed. They're absolutely safe."

"Hmm." What thing? What was it? The two of them didn't say anything more.

Ji Shuyin quietly returned to her room. What she had heard today had a great impact on her.

Gu's father wants to deal with her and is not satisfied with Tang Weiyu. She feels like she has entered a wolf's den and must be extremely careful.

If you have the opportunity, it's best to leave the Gu family; that's the most important thing.

Lost in thought, she finally fell into a deep sleep just as dawn was breaking.

……

To her surprise, Tang Weiyu moved even faster, carrying almost a whole bunch of bags.

"Shuyin, look, I bought imported milk powder and the most expensive pastries in the department store. This is a great gift for the elderly."

And these skincare products were all brought from Haicheng; I heard they're imported goods!

There were also some chocolates and candies, and this toy, all of which were very valuable.

"I've heard that this cigar is a favorite among foreigners, and these two bottles of liquor are even more rare..."

The item was indeed a good item, but even Gu Yuncheng was somewhat puzzled.

"Wei Yu, where did you buy all of these? Even department stores might not have this complete selection."

"Yes, I wouldn't dare deliver something of dubious origin!"

Upon hearing this, she quickly waved her hand.

"No, it was my brother who heard about what happened yesterday and borrowed it from one of his friends."

We're giving them such nice gifts, they're bound to value them.

Even though she didn't blush or have a racing heart, Ji Shuyin still sensed that something was wrong.

Her parents favored boys over girls, and even her two older brothers didn't take her seriously. How could they possibly ask her for such a sought-after item out of a sense of obligation?

Tang Weiyu, she is lying.

However, Gu Yuncheng didn't think so.

“Weiyu, your brother has become quite sensible. Your life will get better and better from now on.”

Seeing that she had been fooled, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Shuyin, then you should set off quickly. I'll be waiting for your news."

"alright."

I don't want to play games with them anyway, so I'll just leave.

Such good stuff, and there's still so much left. I've really hit the jackpot this time.

I am indeed going to visit Director Qian today, but I will not be going alone; I will be bringing Zheng Jingtian along.

When she arrived at the Zheng family home, only she and Zheng's mother were there. She had tidied herself up from head to toe and looked very cheerful.

"Shuyin, I've prepared some gifts, what do you think?"

As Zheng's mother spoke, she brought over the things she had bought.

It also contained milk powder, malted milk powder, a box of snacks, alcoholic beverages, and a box of beef jerky.

This is not bad, although it's not as good as what Tang Weiyu brought later, but it's acceptable to go to Director Qian's house.

"Auntie, there's no need for that, I have something in my hand!"

"How can that be? This is all because of our Tian Tian, ​​how can we let you spend money on it!"
"You two hurry back, Auntie has something else for you. Be good."

Zheng Jingtian also tried to persuade them, but since they were all sincere, she didn't say anything more and just took it with her.

When she arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, she went into the office by herself.

We need to hear what they have to say before bringing them in, otherwise it will be very troublesome.

Director Qian used to be a frequent visitor to our home, but he always brought gifts with him.

I wasn't too surprised to see Ji Shuyin.

"Shuyin, are you getting ready to start work?"
