Guests From the Underworld?

Now that things had developed to this point, there was no point for Bai Ning to stay. Instead of staying and being entangled with the mother and daughter conflict, it was better to come back another day.

She ignored Su Xueru and stood up to look at her grandmother, "Grandma, it seems like I have to leave today."

When Yan Shuhua heard that, she really wanted to ask her to stay, but her daughter's disgraceful words made her too embarrassed to do so.

She let out a long sigh and forced a smile. "Okay, good girl. Be careful on the way back."

"Alright," she said. Bai Ning replied indifferently and turned to leave.

As soon as Bai Ning left, Su Xueru angrily said to Yan Shuhua, "Mom, don't let this girl come over again. Look at how uneducated she is. I wasted more than ten years raising her. She doesn't respect me at all."

Hearing her daughter's endless complaints, Yan Shuhua couldn't be bothered to say anything more. She went into the kitchen without saying anything and turned off the stove. Since her granddaughter had left, there was no need to cook anymore.

She stared at the half-cooked vegetables in a daze for a long time. Then, she wiped her eyes and walked out of the kitchen.

After she came out, she did not even look at Su Xueru and her daughter. She went straight to her bedroom and closed the door with a bang.

Su Xueru was startled by the sudden sound of the door closing. She patted her chest and said, "What's the old lady doing? Why is she so angry?"

Bai Yiyi glanced at the closed bedroom door and said, "Grandma must really like Bai Ning."

Hearing this, Su Xueru rolled her eyes and said, "She's really old and muddled. She treats trash as treasure!"

...

After Bai Ning left her grandmother's house, she hailed a taxi by the roadside and went straight home.

As soon as she got into the elevator, she saw a few pairs of men's leather shoes at the door. It seemed that there were guests at home.

She thought for a few seconds and called for the elevator again. After going downstairs, she sat in the gazebo in the community. She was tall and outstanding in terms of looks, so people passing by would always take a few more glances at her before leaving.

Fortunately, she was wearing a hoodie today. She simply put on the hat and lowered her head to play with her phone. With that, no one looked at her anymore.

She downloaded a game and played it for a while. Feeling bored, she eventually uninstalled it.

At this moment, she suddenly thought of something. Her slender and fair fingers jumped on the phone screen, and then she unblocked the WeChat friend X that she had previously found annoying and had blocked.

After that, she sent a message to the other party.

"Be careful during this period of time, don't wander around."

X was probably playing with his phone as he replied instantly, "My little ancestor, you finally remembered me!"

"I've been living a life worse than death these days."

X, " I've been locked up in the ancestral hall. I can't eat or sleep well. I have to kneel every day. It's not a life fit for a human!"

Project X, "Little devil, please think of a way to save me. I want freedom."

"...You're so energetic. It seems like you don't need me to save you,"

"Are you a demon???" X asked.

"I won't answer that."

Project X: "Wait a minute, Little Ancestor. You just told me to be careful. What should I be careful of? "

However, when he clicked "send" for the last sentence, he saw the familiar red prompt again: "Message failed to send. The other party has rejected your message."

X, "???"

[ Message failed to send. The other party has rejected your message. ]

…

Bai Ning exited WeChat and looked up just in time to see a few tall men in black suits walking out of her unit. The one in the front was carrying a black password-protected suitcase.

These people looked unusually fierce, like gangsters who had just collected protection fees. The people who were wandering in the community stayed far away from them, afraid of getting into trouble.

Bai Ning looked at these people. Suddenly, she noticed that they were wearing black leather shoes. She raised her eyebrows and her expression became a little complicated.

These people didn't notice Bai Ning as they ran in the direction of the garage. They seemed to be very familiar with this place and were probably frequent visitors.

After they left, Bai Ning slowly got up, thought for a moment, and took the elevator upstairs.

When she got out of the elevator, the black leather shoes at the door had disappeared. It seemed that those people had been at her house just now.

Bai Ning gathered her thoughts and took out the key to open the door.
