1 Offending a Rich Man

The afterglow of the setting sun was about to disappear, and it was now shining on an old street without restraint. At the corner of the street stood an old-fashioned two-story building with red bricks and green tiles. The walls were full of cracks, silently telling tales of its own destruction and vicissitudes.

Not far away, a beautiful figure gradually approached.

Bai Ning leisurely rode her bicycle to the corner of the street. She had beautiful facial features, long flowing hair, and a sky-blue short skirt that fluttered on the edge of the seat. The wheels turned quickly with her legs.

"Little Ning, you're back. Come over for a moment."

Before she could reach her house, Bai Ning was stopped by her neighbor's grandfather, who was under a tree. She pressed the handbrake and raised her long legs. She was full of youthful energy, forming a sharp contrast with the old street. The old man sighed and secretly reminisced. This girl was really attractive. If he was 50 years younger, he would have looked for a girlfriend like her.

"What's wrong, Grandpa Zheng?" Bai Ning asked as she pushed her bicycle.

The old man came back to his senses and quickly whispered, "Little Ning, how did your family offend a rich man? They even came to your house, and I heard the argument from far away. My grandson said that the car they drove here was worth a few million!"

Bai Ning didn't say anything when she heard this. She just frowned slightly. A rich man driving a luxury car? Needless to say, it must have been her vicious adoptive mother.

A year ago, she had inexplicably transmigrated into this body. The original owner was a poor person. Her parents had abandoned her in her grandmother's house in the countryside because she was a girl. Fortunately, her grandmother was very good to her. Although she was poor, she lived freely and happily.

A few years ago, the Bai family became rich overnight and quickly opened a company, becoming a well-known wealthy local family. Even so, her parents still paid no attention to their daughter who was raised in the countryside.

A few months ago, they had found out that this daughter was not their biological daughter, and had instead been brought home by mistake.

Because both families shared the Bai surname, and they had given birth on the same day, and both were girls, the nurse had brought each of them the wrong baby.

That family was also in S city and did not seem to be rich. They even raised four useless sons. At the thought of her biological daughter suffering in a poor family, the adoptive mother of this body felt like a knife had been twisted in her heart and she despised Bai Ning even more.

She came to persuade her grandma to return to the city with them every two or three days. To put it bluntly, she wanted to kick Bai Ning out of the house. It was her grandmother who had insisted on living in the countryside alongside Bai Ning.

Seeing that Bai Ning didn't speak for a long time, the old man quickly pulled her arm. "Little Ning, we can't afford to offend these rich people! Why don't you stay at my place for a while and hide?"

Bai Ning was touched and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. In order to ensure that Grandpa Zheng did not misunderstand, she quickly said, "Grandpa Zheng, don't worry. They're just distant relatives of mine. 

The old man was a little confused. As he was pondering this, Bai Ning had already gotten on the bike and left quickly after saying, "Goodbye, Grandpa Zheng."

The old man looked at Bai Ning's back and said to himself, "We've been neighbors for so many years. Since when did they have a rich distant relative?"

…

Bai Ning saw the luxury car that Grandpa Zheng was talking about from afar. It was the goddess of celebration with her wings spread out elegantly, coupled with the classic twin R car logo. It was a Rolls-Royce, so it was no wonder Grandpa Zheng was so surprised. This car was indeed stylish.

Leisurely jumping off the bike, Bai Ning bent over and unbuckled a few of the bike's locks. In an instant, the entire bike was folded into the size of a 12-inch laptop.

She walked into the courtyard with her bicycle, and before she entered the house, she heard a sharp female voice coming from inside.

"Mom, what's wrong with you? What's there to miss about this broken house?

"I've already bought a big villa in the city and hired a nanny to take care of you. Isn't that a hundred times better than this? Why won't you go? It leaks in the summer and leaks in the winter. How can you live there?

"Look at this broken floor and broken wall. It's wet and cold. You're old and in poor health, but you insist on living here. The neighbors must think that we're poor and think that I'm not capable and unfilial!"

Bai Ning listened to these words in the courtyard and suddenly fell into deep thought, but she quickly returned to normal. She had lived in this shabby house that her adoptive mother had mentioned for a year, but she had never felt that life here was hard. On the contrary, she was very satisfied. It seemed that she had a strong ability to adapt.

At this moment, the sounds in the room stopped abruptly.

Su Xueru, who was wearing a purple fishtail dress, pushed the door open and walked out angrily. Her makeup was exquisite, and a complete set of diamond jewelry was hanging from her ears. Her neck and fingers were shining, and she fully gave off the aura of a noble lady.

When she saw Bai Ning at the door, she was stunned for a moment. However, her eyes were soon full of disdain and she asked coldly, "Girl, what are you doing standing there?"
