CHAPTER 513: CHAPTER 210: NIGHTFALL IS THE MOST SEDUCTIVE (PART 3)
"It’s not about moving; it’s about being driven out," Su Ziceng opened a jewelry box containing a set of Grandmother Stone Necklaces. Weren’t these necklaces hers? Su Ziceng wondered suspiciously as she opened another heart-shaped wood box that looked somewhat historical, inside of which lay an antique Longines Star Moon Watch.
"These items aren’t mine?" Su Ziceng casually threw the box onto the table, and Sister Mu hurriedly caught it.
"You really burn through money; don’t rummage any further. All the items have been listed, along with several safe keys, stating they are to preserve your jewelry and jewels as well as funds under your name." The Su Family’s butler seemed aware of Sister Mu’s background and trusted her to hand over all the valuable securities and keys to the safes.
The Su Family’s servants did not go seeking alcohol because they were worried about the young lady’s temperament. Having been driven out of the house by the master not long ago, she might be fuming, and if her temper flared up, she might dump everything in the middle of the street, which would be troublesome.
"Everyone’s been driven out, so why send these?" Su Ziceng glanced at the list, which was clearly detailed, but it seemed many items were originally not hers, and it was unclear whether the butler made a mistake in the rush, by wrongly adding things.
"Driven out?" Sister Mu finally understood Su Ziceng’s implication.
"The lawsuit ended yesterday, and Dad... Su Qingzhang woke up and consequently disowned me." Su Ziceng rapidly completed her statement; yesterday truly was an unforgettable day.
"Disowned? So what’s reported in the newspapers is true?" Sister Mu found a newspaper, in the corner of which Mo City Evening News had posted an announcement.
"You already knew, how ruthless, even making it to the newspapers," Su Ziceng looked at the announcement, bitterly smiling.
"The announcement probably wasn’t posted by Su Qingzhang, but deliberately by someone else," Sister Mu looked at the heap of items before her, pondering: "We can’t rest tonight, by tomorrow morning, ’Admiration’ must operate as normal."
Their guess about someone else’s intent must be why those clothes and jewels all had to be discreetly hidden.
By the end of the night, every piece of clothing had been mixed in with those ready for sale by Sister Mu, and what used to be shelves for liquor temporarily served as a shoe rack.
Worn or unworn clothes, skillfully altered by Sister Mu, completely transformed into new garments, supplemented with various shoes of different colors and sizes, "Admiration" seemed to have completed a major restock.
"These jewels, those with collectible value store them in safety deposit boxes at the bank, those of lesser value, we’ll find ways to sell, and the least valuable, just display in the store as accessories," After a night of busyness, Sister Mu appeared unfatigued, her face even buoyant with the sense of pre-battle excitement.
Without Su Qingzhang’s order, this batch of valuable items would certainly not have left the Su Family. Both Su Ziceng and Wen Zimu were puzzled by this. Since Su Qingzhang cold-heartedly drove Su Ziceng out, why would he also send out items, whether hers or not.
"Maybe, he doesn’t want to see anything of mine anymore, he must be blaming me for not handling Chang Mei’s matter well," Su Ziceng bought breakfast from outside, the piping hot fish fillet porridge felt unusually comforting as it went down her throat.
Sister Mu, wary of the heat, was not in a hurry to eat, "I think, no normal person would mind having an extra limited-edition Longines watch at home."
Su Ziceng was left speechless, unable to think of a reason to explain; it all became somewhat strange after the day before yesterday. Su Qingzhang had tolerated her for over twenty years, driving her out just as she was improving herself.
Pello always found her lacking passion, and when she wholeheartedly accepted him, he took off to Europe, and up to now, there was still no word from him.
Then there were the Chang’s mother and daughter; she had fought with them for most of her life, only to find out that the disliked Chang Chi was her biological sister, and the Chang Mei, whom she thought hated her the most, actually loathed herself the most.
"Everything seems chaotic, yet everything also seems to have returned to normal," Su Ziceng finished her last spoonful of porridge, watching the dawn spread between Zone 5 and Sixth District.
It was as if she had returned to four years ago, that time she first stood outside the "Admiration" store.
"It’s July again," Sister Mu also remembered the scene at that time.
"July? July!" Su Ziceng jumped up, a face full of surprise, "I need to go to France." (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommendation ticket, monthly ticket. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
