“Okay, I’ll go,” No. 5 volunteered with his hand raised.

“Me too,” No. 8 chimed in.

No. 10 was next.

On the way to the one-stop car services center, An Xiaoning asked, “The car we’re getting now will be meant for you guys to drive around for running errands, especially when you collect the food supplies from Wei Ni Estate. What kind of car do you think would be better?”

“A van,” No. 11 suggested.

No. 8 objected, “A van is too large, we don’t need such a big vehicle for collecting food supplies. Why don’t we get a smaller car with more seats? That way, more of us can ride in the car together and, at the same time, we can also collect goods.”

“That’s right, Sis. Let’s go with No. 8’s suggestion and get a seven-seater car, then.”

“Alright,” she agreed.

Upon arriving at the car showroom, the four of them took a careful look at all the cars on display and finally settled on a blue car that cost 530 thousand dollars.

Noticing that An Xiaoning was about to purchase it, No. 5 said softly, “Sis, we don’t have to buy such an expensive one. A car that costs about 200 thousand dollars is good enough.”

“It’s rare that all of you fancy the same car. Let’s just get this one.”

Money was not an issue to An Xiaoning at all, for she still had an abundant amount of it left from the hundreds of millions that she had earned from investing in the movie in the past. She was no longer the same woman who showed up at Jin Qingyan’s doorstep in the pouring rain with her luggage to make a deal with him for a hundred thousand dollars.

She paid for the car with her card immediately and signed the administrative papers. The services center provided them with a temporary license plate that could be used for a month. They would still have to head to the vehicle registry to complete the remaining procedures.

Since An Xiaoning was the owner of the car, she would definitely have to take the time out to register for a new license plate.

However, she was the only one who had a driving license. Although they could drive, it was still illegal to drive around without a license.

Hence, An Xiaoning decided to ask if any of them wanted to register for a driving test to obtain a license. To her surprise, all of them raised their hands.

“Take turns. Do you still remember why I wanted to construct the bas.e.m.e.nt?” she said earnestly.

“Yes,” they answered in unison.

“From today onward, you mustn’t neglect your combat training because of the driving test. Although it’s good that all of you have a strong background in martial arts, there’s still room for improvement. That’s not the only aspect I want you guys to train in, there are still many other skills that I want you to acquire. I’ll be hiring some special instructors in the next few days. I already know who the mastermind is. You guys don’t have to worry about that. Since we already know the truth, all that’s left to do is the execution of our plan.”

Everyone’s curiosities were piqued the moment they heard that she had already found out who the mastermind was.

“Sis, could you tell us who it is?”

“Not at the moment. I’m afraid that you guys will be reckless. You’ll find out who it is sooner or later.”

They decided not to probe further.

“Sis, let No. 5 and No. 8 obtain their driving licenses first. We all know how to drive anyway. Getting a license is only a mandatory procedure. It’s easy to pa.s.s the driving test,” said No. 11.

“Okay then, you two shall focus on practising for the test now. You don’t have to follow me around for the time being,” An Xiaoning said before heading to s.h.i.+ Qingzhou’s room.

She closed the door, sat down on the bed, and told her parents about everything that had happened the night before.

Not surprised at all, s.h.i.+ Qingzhou said, “Well, it’s not that shocking that the Lin family is the culprit since they were one of the suspects. They don’t have any feud with you, and you were once their G.o.ddaughter after all. I reckon they must have been afraid that you would make the first move and kill them. I bet they still have no idea that you’re already so clear about everything that has happened.”

“I threatened them with their birth characters only because they provoked me first and tried to condemn me. Even then, I didn’t actually intend to do anything with their birth characters. However, I’ve changed my mind. They tried to kill us all when I didn’t even do anything to them. Such vicious and wicked people. I’m not going to take it lying down. I must make them pay for everything that they had done. I won’t spare any of the Lin family members who were involved in this,” said An Xiaoning.

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou held her hand and asked, “Xiaoning, what do you plan to do?”

“Mother, you don’t have to worry about that. The Lin family probably won’t get another chance to harm us again.”

“Don’t tell me, you’re planning to harm them using their birth characters?”

“Mother…” An Xiaoning took a deep breath and continued,”I’ll only use my fortune-telling abilities to save others. I’ll never put it to unscrupulous means or use them to kill. I still remember Master’s words clearly even until today. There are still many other ways to harm them apart from that. You don’t have to worry about it.”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou nodded and said, “Act according to your wishes, then. I’ve already had it all figured out. If we don’t eradicate our enemies completely, they’re only going to get more and more brazen. We know when to stop but they don’t. If we show them mercy and tolerance, they’ll think that we’re pushovers who can be trifled with easily. I’ll support you, regardless of what you do.”

“I’m going to ensure the safety of my loved ones in this lifetime, even if it means I’ll be sent to h.e.l.l after my death.”

The moment An Xiaoning drove out of the entrance, she caught sight of a graceful silhouette strutting toward her. After seeing her face, she drove toward her and rolled down the windows.

“Hey, is that you, Ms. Bu? What are you doing here?”

“This estate doesn’t belong to Nick anyway, why aren’t I allowed to show up here? I bought an apartment in this estate, alright? We’ll be seeing each other very often in the future. After all, our houses are not that far apart. I hope some of your luck will rub off on me and make me become fortunate as well,” said Bu Xianxian, twirling her long locks.

“You’ve come to the wrong person, then. My luck is barely enough for my own use, how could I afford to share some with you? I do have a ton of bad luck, though. Shall I give you a hundred grams of them?”

Bu Xianxian scoffed and said, “I really have no idea how Nick can stand you. He’s really given up the entire sea for an old fish like you.”

How dare she mock me for being old!?!

“Age is just a number, what’s most important is that you don’t look older than your actual age. That would be terrible. Who can tell that I’m already thirty years old just from my appearance? It’s different in your case, Ms. Bu. You’re only in your early twenties and yet you already look like you’re in your thirties. How pathetic.” An Xiaoning then rolled up the window and sped away swiftly, not giving Bu Xianxian the chance to retort at all.

Bu Xianxian stood rooted to the ground and watched as An Xiaoning’s car left, boiling with immense fury.

She stormed off and headed back home.

The apartment she had bought was a three-bedder that was much smaller compared to An Xiaoning’s mansion.

It cost her almost three million dollars.

After deducting the costs of her plastic surgery, she only had a little more than a million dollars left out of the five million dollars Jin Qingyan had given her.

Hence, Mrs. Bu felt a great pinch and would nag at Bu Xianxian every single day.

Upon returning home, she slammed the door shut with a loud bang. “Are you tired of living? You’re going to damage the door sooner or later by slamming it with so much force.”
