Chapter 587: Chapter 582: The Purpose of The Jings
Qin Xue looked at the jade pendant in her hand. It was exactly the same as the one from her previous life, which had been unsealed by her blood to become a space. What was the story behind this one?

“Mom, this…” Qin Xue wanted to return the jade pendant to Nangong Shulan.

“Keep it, you’ll need it in the future.” Nangong Shulan said no more, but it only piqued the curiosity of others.

But no matter how Qin Xue asked, Nangong Shulan remained silent.

Seeing that she could not get an answer, Qin Xue quietly put away the jade pendant and continued eating.

After they finished eating, Qin Xue wanted to go to town to get some clothes for her mother and sister. She wanted to bring some food as well. So, after feeding the baby, she told her mother.

“Mom, watch the baby for a while, I’m going to town.” Qin Xue thought that since she had a child, she should leave early and return early.

“Alright, just make sure to come back early, otherwise the baby will cry from hunger.” Nangong Shulan agreed, sharing the same concern as Qin Xue.

“Okay, I got it.” Qin Xue promised, put the baby to sleep, grabbed her backpack, and left.

When Qin Xue arrived in town, she first went to the market to buy some things, then went to the store to pick up some clothes and put them on credit.

“Qin Xue, why are you taking so many clothes?” Fang Xiu asked, puzzled.

“My mom and sister are going back home, and my sister needs to attend school. I want to make their lives better now that I have the ability. I’m getting them a couple of sets of clothes to wear back home.” Qin Xue felt that a few sets of clothes were nothing compared to using someone else’s body.

“That’s true. It’s the start of the school year already, huh? Time really flies.” Fang Xiu couldn’t help but think how fast time was passing — Taotao could already walk, and her husband had been back for a few months.

“Fang Xiu, why are you suddenly so sentimental?” Qin Xue asked, looking at Fang Xiu.

“Just moved by the moment, I’m fine.” Fang Xiu waved her hand.

But Qin Xue didn’t think she was fine, it seemed like there was a problem, and not a small one.

“Fang Xiu, is there something you can’t tell me?” Qin Xue sat down next to her and asked.

“Qin Xue, the people from the Jing family came. Somehow they heard about our shop making a lot of money, and they claim Taotao is their grandson, so they want to take him back. What should I do now?” Fang Xiu started crying as she spoke.

“Fang Xiu, does Jing Xin know about this?” Qin Xue found the Jing family quite ridiculous — when they thought their son was dead, they didn’t even want their daughter-in-law or grandson.

Now that they knew their son was not only alive but also about to be promoted to a position in a camp, they clung to them like leeches, even using the child as a threat.

Probably only the Jing family could do such a thing.

“He doesn’t know yet. The Jing family approached me first, probably because they thought I was soft-hearted and easily bullied. They wanted to deal with me before confronting Jing Xin.” At the time, Fang Xiu had been so angry that she’d chased them out with a broom.

“You should have told Jing Xin first. What if he wants to go back?” Qin Xue unintentionally buried Jing Xin with her comment. How could he want to go back when he’d told his wife that their small family of three was enough?

But they didn’t know that the Jing family had seized the opportunity of Jing Xin’s promotion to make their move.

Jing Xin couldn’t ignore them if he wanted to be promoted, as the research institute’s assessment focused on a person’s comprehensive quality evaluation.

So, if Jing Xin wanted to advance his career, he’d really have to comply with their wishes.

“Whether he goes back or not, the Jing family will get what they want this time.” Fang Xiu gazed into the distance and uttered solemnly.

“Why?” Qin Xue asked in confusion.

“Because Jing Xin wants to climb higher, and if he doesn’t cooperate, the Jing family will make a scene at the research institute, ruining his future.” This was what Fang Xiu couldn’t accept.
