Reborn As Lucky Star

Looking at Lin Jianping's face, Yue Qingqing walked to the bedside and took off the jade pendant from her neck.

"I've always kept this jade pendant with me. Grandma said it's been passed down in the Lin Family. There are exactly two pieces, one for you and one for grandma."

Lin Jianping lay on the hospital bed and reached out to take the jade pendant.

He carefully caressed it, a nostalgic smile appearing on his face.

"Yes, but my piece isn't with me now. I let Lin Hao take it when he went to seek relatives, to make it easier to find people."

"He has indeed been looking for grandma, but not to fulfill your regrets; instead, he wishes to take grandma's life."

Hearing Yue Qingqing's words, Lin Jianping's eyes widened.

"What did you say?"

His emotions surged suddenly, but fortunately, Yan Sinian, who was beside him, used his spiritual power to calm Lin Jianping's emotions.

Preventing any accident from happening in his excitement.

This was also why Yue Qingqing brought the third senior brother along.

With Yan Sinian present, Yue Qingqing could speak frankly.

"The story begins decades ago. Grandma mentioned that there weren't many things left in the Lin Family; part of these was liquidated for travel expenses."

"Another part was given to the then town mayor, allowing Uncle Grandfather and his wife to get a permit to take the train to Beijing, while grandma married grandpa."

Lin Jianping muttered to himself, "Yes, life was hard for your grandma."

"No, grandma didn't feel it was hard. She always said these days that although her life was frugal, it was relatively safe. Meanwhile, you endured hardships and wandered constantly on your journey, encountering untold trials. It wasn't long after you left that the Yue Family suddenly faced a series of strange events…"

Yue Qingqing had already roughly deduced the timeline of when the Yue Family's Qi Fortune was usurped from what Lin Chunju had told her.

Along with testimonies obtained by the Supernatural Management Bureau from Gou Honghe.

Both sides corroborated each other, almost completely piecing together the cause and effect.

As she narrated, it sounded like a fantastic story to Lin Jianping.

"Usurping Qi Fortune? Is... is this real?"

Yue Qingqing knew the impact this matter had on Lin Jianping, so she explained with practical demonstration.

She stretched out her hand, and a halo glowed in her palm.

Morphing into various shapes and colors.

Even radiating heat.

Yue Qingqing stood in front of the hospital bed, and Lin Jianping could see clearly that there was no mechanism that could be hidden on her body.

"In this world, people like us are different from ordinary people. You could think of us like martial arts masters from novels, existing in another realm to regular folks. But some who have walked the Evil Path, driven by profit, use abilities to do some things that defy morality, like usurping Qi Fortune."

Yue Qingqing recounted all the misfortunes the Yue Family had endured over the years, along with the information unearthed from Gou Honghe, to Lin Jianping.

She concluded with a summary.

"People in Daye Village used to say that the Yue Family had bad luck. Even though they were a hardworking family, they always seemed to harvest less than others, despite toiling the same fields. Grandma became a widow early, my aunt married into a dreadful household, and my mother's family and my second aunt's family both had various troubles. Uncle was even deceived in marriage. All these unfortunate events just happened to fall upon the Yue Family. Had it not been for grandma's resilience, she would have found it unbearable long ago."

Lin Jianping's lips trembled constantly, feeling both guilt and remorse deep inside.

He remembered indeed that back then, a sum of money suddenly disappeared from the family.

About seventy to eighty thousand yuan.

At the end of that year, that was quite a fortune.

Fang Miao claimed she intended to deposit the cash but was robbed on the way with a knife.

She even pretended to report it to the police, claiming they couldn't find the culprit.

That was the busiest time for Lin Jianping's business, spending more than half of each month sleeping in the office.

He barely managed to settle the accounts and return home, only to encounter such an incident.

Both angry and anxious.

Little did he know, Fang Miao took that money to those shady activities outside, using it to usurp the Qi Fortune from her sister's family.
