Chapter 137 The Shock of the An Siblings
Chapter 137 The Shock of the An Siblings
Seeing his denial, Ning Ya was about to say something more when Lin Chenghui stopped her.
"I sent people to that planet twice to investigate, but we haven't received any news. We don't know the specifics either."
Lin Chenghui laid everything out on the table. Since he couldn't find out anything himself, perhaps he could ask his father to intervene; maybe it would have some unexpected results. This would also reveal whether his father knew about the matter or not.
After comforting his mother, Lin Chenghui realized that his original purpose for coming to find his father no longer seemed so important.
Now that most of the family affairs are in his hands, wouldn't it make his father seem incompetent if he had to go to him for every little thing? Especially if his older brother were still alive.
After Lin Chenghui and his mother left, Lin Yu sat alone in a chair, lost in thought. He had had expectations for his eldest son, but why did things turn out that way?
Perhaps Ning Ya was right; he was a coward who dared not disobey his elders, betrayed the woman who loved him dearly, and caused her vibrant life to wither away prematurely.
Their son, due to their own guilty conscience, neglected his care, causing him to leave home early, until...
Thinking about what happened today, he actually felt a little hopeful. Perhaps, that child really was still alive?
As for that baby girl from back then, he dared not think about it anymore; the more he thought about it, the more his ruthlessness would be revealed.
Everything was wrong! Lin Yu felt a pang of regret.
He knew that Lin Shushu had been sent away; after all, as the head of the family, he had many things under his control. However, he had never cared about that child, so he tacitly approved of Ning Ya's actions.
Out of guilt and a faint sense of anticipation, Lin Yu sent people to that planet to investigate.
On M19, Lin Shushu was unaware that another group of uninvited guests were about to arrive. She had just ended a conversation with An Xiaojie.
An Xiaojie made this call specifically to thank her.
Since Lin Shushu and Mo Ze left J56, An Xiaojie and An Yuanheng have devoted themselves to mining.
Without Lin Shushu's covert intervention, An Xiaojie found mining much more difficult. She finally understood that Lin Shushu had been helping her when the stones were fragile.
After a few days, she looked much more haggard. An Yuanheng felt sorry for her and told her not to go mining anymore, but she insisted on going.
With one more person, there will be one more gain. She will not put all the burdens on her brother just because she is a girl.
Only then did An Yuanheng remember the spatial key Lin Shushu had given them before she left. At the time, due to the sadness of parting, neither brother nor sister had checked its contents. Later, busy with mining, they completely forgot about it.
Seeing that his younger sister was exhausted but still refused to rest, he remembered what Lin Shushu had said when she gave them the space key, which contained some food and supplies, so he began to examine it.
Upon closer inspection, it was astounding.
The brother and sister exchanged glances. No matter how isolated they were, they were still aware of the hot topics on the StarNet. They were quite curious about the legendary pills and spiritual fruits that were said to be unheard of, but because they were short of money, they never dared to try to steal them.
What they saw now was that there were quite a few spiritual fruits and pills in the spatial storage, and the two of them had the same amount.
"Brother, this...this is it?" An Xiaojie was so shocked that she was somewhat incoherent.
An Yuanheng gestured for her to be quiet, then checked the room inside and out to make sure no one was there before nodding to his sister.
They were shocked to discover that both of the most popular shops on Xingwang belonged to Sister Shushu.
Why not suspect that Lin Shushu bought these spiritual fruits and pills? The truth is easy to guess. The only person who could produce so many at once is the shop owner.
The rarity of these two items is now widely known. It would be difficult for anyone to obtain even one of them, let alone so many. If people found out, they would surely get into trouble.
"Xiao Jie, don't tell anyone," An Yuanheng instructed.
"I know, brother." An Xiaojie was well aware of the implications and felt extremely grateful to Lin Shushu.
With the pills and spiritual fruits, An Xiaojie had inexhaustible energy. An Yuanheng saw this and no longer asked her to go back to rest.
After working hard for a while, they finally saved up a lot of star coins, enough to pay for An Yuanheng's future tuition and still have a lot left over.
An Xiaojie also told Lin Shushu that they would be leaving J56 in a while and would come to see her first.
Lin Shushu naturally welcomed it. To be honest, this planet used to be home to An, but now it was hers, and she was very grateful.
Remembering what An Xiaojie once said, An Yuanheng was admitted to university this year, but because he spent all his savings on her medical treatment and also had to take care of her, he had no choice but to apply to the school to retain his student status for a year.
Now that they have plenty of star coins and An Xiaojie has fully recovered, it's time for An Yuanheng to return to school. The only question is whether they can withdraw the application, since more than half of the new semester has already passed. Will the school agree to his re-enrollment at this point?
Lin Shushu was unaware of these circumstances, but she had people around her who did!
When An Yuanheng explained the situation to Mo Ze, Mo Ze immediately offered to help. Forget about delaying enrollment; with Mo Ze's status, getting An Yuanheng a student registration wouldn't be difficult at all.
Lin Shushu immediately told An Yuanheng the news.
An Yuanheng was surprised. His sister had just ended her call with Sister Shushu, so why was she calling him again?
As soon as he answered, Lin Shushu's excited voice came through, "Yuanheng, do you want to go to school now?"
An Yuanheng doesn't need to consider this problem; he definitely wants to, but...
Lin Shushu's voice came again, "I know you submitted an application to retain your student status for one year, but if you want, we can let you go to school to register immediately."
“Okay, I’m willing to go and register early.” Going to school was An Yuanheng’s dream, so he didn’t hesitate and accepted Sister Shushu’s kindness.
"That's settled then. Don't worry, we'll take care of the rest. I'll explain everything in detail when you come to my place." Lin Shushu gave him a few more instructions and then hung up the phone.
An Xiaojie listened to their conversation the whole time and was very excited. Her brother had given up a lot for her, and now that everything was back on track, she could finally rest easy.
An Yuanheng remained lost in thought for a long time after hanging up the call, only snapping out of it when his sister called him. The brother and sister laughed at the same time, and at that moment, the gloom that had been hanging over their hearts completely dissipated.
With Mo Ze's intervention, An Yuanheng's matter was quickly resolved. It's worth mentioning that the school An Yuanheng was admitted to happened to be on the Imperial Star; although not a top-tier institution, it was still a mid-to-high-level school.
After careful consideration, An Yuanheng decided to re-enroll next semester. Firstly, more than half of the current semester has already passed, and secondly, he still has some personal matters to attend to. He can take advantage of this time to study the current semester's material on his own.
Besides An Yuanheng, An Xiaojie is also of school age, but due to her previous illness, she has not attended a proper school for many days.
Lin Shushu had some ideas in mind, but she would wait until they arrived and discuss them with them before making a decision.
Lin Shushu hadn't been happy for long after resolving one issue when there was movement again in the sky above the planet.
