Chapter 237: Chapter 235: Slapping the Apocalypse Rebirth Girl 16 (Bonus Chapter for 150 Monthly Tickets)
Anning had been following Yin Baichuan to his hometown for several days.
The main reason was to find a good Feng Shui site for the burial of Yin Baichuan’s biological parents.
Mrs. Yin had not been in good health and following the breaking of the Seven Evil Formation had already pushed her to her limits, after which she stayed home helping with the children.
That day, Anning finally found a good spot.
After carefully investigating it, she marked a location for Yin Baichuan before returning.
During these days, Jixiang and Ru Yi had been left at the Yin family home, under the care of Mrs. Yin.
She was very fond of Jixiang and Ru Yi, and Yin Baichuan’s daughter, Xiao Xing, also liked them very much. The children played exceptionally well together, and Jixiang and Ru Yi even wanted to stay at the Yin’s home.
Anning and Yin Baichuan, having approved the burial site, went to the Yin’s home.
Upon their arrival, they saw Mrs. Yin smiling very broadly, her eyes also showing a bit of excitement.
"Baichuan, our Xiao Xing, our Xiao Xing is getting better."
Mrs. Yin shared her joy with Yin Baichuan as soon as she saw him.
Upon hearing this, Yin Baichuan rushed inside: "Where is Xiao Xing? Can I see her? Is the child really getting better?"
Over the years, the couple had taken Xiao Xing to many places and tried various methods to no avail; they had lost all hope. But just at this moment, Xiao Xing was improving.
Anning followed Yin Baichuan to see Xiao Xing.
Xiao Xing was indeed getting better.
Her gaze was no longer as confused and vague as before, her speech had become much more articulate, and astonishingly, she had even learned to cook. Although her cooking was not very good, to Yin Baichuan, it was the most precious and delicious delicacy in the world.
"Xiao Xing, Xiao Xing."
Yin Baichuan, overjoyed, hugged Xiao Xing: "Dad is so happy."
Xiao Xing smiled, "Dad, see if the dish I cooked is good? Try it, and if it’s not good, I’ll learn more."
This was the longest and most articulate sentence Xiao Xing had spoken so far.
"Okay, I’ll try it."
Yin Baichuan tasted the dish, and to be honest, it was really not tasty—it was a bit salty, and also undercooked.
But he dared not show his displeasure and ate all of it, complimenting Xiao Xing afterwards: "Xiao Xing’s cooking is so delicious, really so delicious..."
By the end, he himself was moved to tears.
"Dad, why are you crying?"
Xiao Xing was startled and clumsily tried to comfort Yin Baichuan.
Wiping his tears, Yin Baichuan said, "Dad is happy, crying tears of joy..."
Anning called Jixiang and Ru Yi to say goodbye to Mrs. Yin.
At times like this, it was better to let the Yin family stay together to share this belated joy.
After returning home, Anning rested for several days.
Her cultivation was not very high now, and helping Yin Baichuan find the burial site for his mother and breaking the Seven Evil Formation had expended much of her energy and some of her Qi.
Anning needed to find some herbs to make Essence Replenishing Pills to restore her Qi, and moreover, she needed to continue her diligent practice to advance her cultivation so that she wouldn’t be so drained the next time she faced such issues.
She rested for several days, and the Yin couple visited once again.
By this time, Yin Baichuan had buried his parents together, and, moreover, he had sued his elder brother and retracted all the privileges previously extended to his elder brother’s family.
Originally, his elder brother’s son and daughter-in-law, as well as his daughter and son-in-law, had all worked in Yin Baichuan’s company.
Yin Baichuan didn’t initially intend to have his relatives do any work; he simply wanted to have some idlers in the family for peace and prosperity.
But now, he no longer wanted to foster these ingrates.
After relocating the family graves, he purged these parasites from his company.
His elder sister-in-law came to him making several scenes; Yin Baichuan mercilessly exposed many shortfalls of her family in her presence, then had security escort her out.
His elder sister-in-law began to tarnish Yin Baichuan’s reputation all over the village after she returned.
However, Yin Baichuan had previously mentioned in the village that his elder brother had his son kidnapped, and even tried to curse him to be childless by forming an Array in his biological parents’ graveyard.
His elder brother’s family had prospered over the years and looked down upon the villagers, behaved arrogantly, offending many. Coupled with the fact that this incident truly crossed a line, the villagers sided with Yin Baichuan. Even if his elder sister-in-law tried to sully his name, the villagers wouldn’t believe her and directly rebuffed her.
Now, Yin Baichuan was openly defiant, not caring about anything else but seeking revenge.
In the Yin Family, he was the only truly capable one. If he decided to deal with those relatives, nobody could stand against him.
Later, Yin Baichuan also sent Anning a bank card.
These household matters were brought up while Lady Yin was talking with Anning.
Anning smiled and said to Lady Yin: "You don’t need to seek revenge yourselves; such people, if engaged, would only dirty your hands. Since they dared to set up the Seven Evil Formation, they must withstand the backlash when the Array is broken. Such a malicious Array wouldn’t be set by any reputable master; a master who dares to do so must be unrighteous, deserving the backlash, and those who sought the master will meet no good end. Just wait and see."
Mrs. Yin was delighted upon hearing this.
She looked at Yin Baichuan: "Did you hear that? There’s no need to rush to anger; let’s just live our life well and watch their misfortune unfold."
Yin Baichuan sighed deeply: "I’ve supported that family for decades, never would I have imagined... never would I have thought..."
He was somewhat disheartened and sad.
After chatting a bit more with Lady Yin, something came to Yin Baichuan’s mind.
"Miss Tang..."
Anning smiled and said: "You don’t need to be so formal. You are an elder, just calling me Anning is fine."
Yin Baichuan laughed heartily, knowing this was Anning’s way of getting closer, so he responded: "Alright, Uncle will call you Anning from now on."
He then asked: "You mentioned before that you were working on a laboratory, what kind of experiment were you conducting?"
Anning explained in detail: "I’m a student from Qing University; I was always involved in biochemical drug experiments. Due to certain reasons, I had to take a break from school to seek refuge here. I found it crucial not to halt the experiments, so I sold my house to continue working on them."
Yin Baichuan was solemnly respectful.
The thing he admired most was academically accomplished individuals; once he heard Anning was a student at Qing University, he marveled at her capability.
"What happened?"
Lady Yin was now quite concerned about Anning.
She was kind-hearted and felt pained for Anning who was orphaned. Moreover, since Anning had helped their family enormously, even being their savior, she became even more attentive.
Anning didn’t withhold anything; she recounted the entire sequence of events that took place in the Capital: "The Su family is a well-known clan in the Capital, and I exposed the true face of Su Leqing. She must be furious and wanting revenge. Personally, I’m not afraid of them, but I’m responsible for Jixiang and Ruyi, and for the safety of the children, I decided to take a break from my studies and come over to South City."
Hearing this, Yin Baichuan was infuriated: "This is preposterous. They’re too tyrannical; not only did they not admit to stealing, they forced you to suspend your studies."
Mrs. Yin comforted Anning: "Don’t be scared, the Su family may have some influence in the Capital, but their reach doesn’t extend to South City."
Yin Baichuan nodded: "You just call me ’uncle’, and if there’s anything you need in the future, just let me know."
Anning gratefully smiled.
After seeing off the Yin couple, Anning checked the balance on the bank card.
Yin Baichuan was really generous, giving Anning twenty million this time.
With this money, Anning felt suddenly relieved.
She then thought of making an investment to earn money, so she could sustain the laboratory operations.
