TFSRITA Chapter 110

Besides, even if those shameless Yan family members are currently occupying her original family’s assets, she’ll make sure they cough it all backup!

The Chu family, too, is quite a powerful trump card.

Zhang Xiaoyu now understood her reasoning. For a sixteen-year-old girl, it’s natural to avoid trouble when possible, so her decision made sense. She patted Yan Qing on the back of her head, saying, “Well, if you ever need anything, you can come to me. Oh, and let’s go buy you a phone. That way, we can exchange contact information.”

“Sure, thank you, Sister Xiaoyu.” Yan Qing smiled sweetly, her large, round eyes like bright grapes. The slight upward tilt of her eyes gave her the clever look of a little fox. “Sister Xiaoyu, I’d also like to open a bank account using my ID.”

“No problem!” Zhang Xiaoyu agreed immediately and took her to get everything done that day.

The next day, Yan Qing received a summons from the Yan family, calling her to the police station to sign various agreements, including renouncing her guardianship status.

With no shares or property, there was no need for a guardian anymore.

Yan Xianhong was practical, and so were the other Yan family members.

They couldn’t wait to get rid of her, whom they found so detestable.

Before signing the agreement, Yan Qing took out her bank card and demanded they transfer the money to her account first before she would sign.

Yan Xianhong: “…”

Their expressions immediately changed, becoming hesitant to transfer the money.

This was ten million yuan. If it was transferred to her account, they’d have no control over it anymore!

Yan Min clung tightly to her older brother’s hand, her face twisted as she shrieked, “Don’t transfer it! If we do, it’s gone!”

Yan Grandma quickly stepped in to defend him. Yesterday, they’d only agreed because they felt cornered and hadn’t thought much about the money itself. But after watching Yan Xianhong transfer all the available funds from the company account yesterday afternoon, seeing the seemingly endless zeros was so shocking that none of them slept well that night. They had to convince themselves that the money was still technically theirs and would be back in their account soon.

But now, Yan Qing had pulled out her card!

It was like she was taking their lives!

Grandma Yan couldn’t help but plead, “Why do you need so much money, dear? Can’t you take a little less? If you need money later, just ask Grandma.”

Yan Qing almost laughed in exasperation. Her dark eyes looked at them all, one by one, as they glared at her, especially Grandma Yan. She asked, “Do you all ever dream about my dad at night? Are you afraid when you do? Do you think he knows how you’re treating his child?”

“You watch your mouth!” Grandma Yan snapped, her face darkening. “Your father was useless and didn’t even have a son. Naturally, everything in this family should go to Pengpeng. Why does a girl need so much money anyway? It’ll just end up benefiting someone else someday!”

Yan Qing was done arguing. She coldly threatened, “Hurry up! If the money doesn’t transfer, you can forget about getting anything signed. The longer you delay, the more likely it is that the Chu family gets angry and destroys the whole company.”

Yan Xianhong’s heart skipped a beat. He’d been letting his mother handle it from the sidelines, but he couldn’t ignore this. The women in the family didn’t understand how powerful the Chu family was. He’d spent years struggling in business, and though he hadn’t achieved much, he had plenty of contacts who shared inside information. He knew what the Chu family was capable of.

This girl’s words hit him hard. If she’d been even slightly less harsh, he might not be so desperate to apologize—at worst, the marriage alliance would fail.

“Transfer it!” Yan Xianhong squeezed out the word through clenched teeth, giving her a venomous look as he left to make the transfer.

Damn it, he would get that money back, no matter what!

Unless this little brat disappeared, he’d make her pay. Even if she had the money, he’d make her spit it out again. And next time, he’d teach her a lesson.

But no matter how much he stewed and fumed, under the watchful eyes of the police, he had no choice but to go through with the transfer.

Yan Qing made sure to watch her bank balance rise from zero to ten million before signing the contract. After that, she handled her household registration.

According to Article 11 of the Civil Code, a citizen between sixteen and eighteen years old who primarily supports themselves financially is considered fully capable of civil acts (source: Baidu).

Though she wasn’t employed, she now had enough money to support herself, so there was no issue with having her own household registration.

This step hadn’t been discussed earlier, but it was necessary anyway.

In just half a day, Yan Qing received her own household registration and ID card. After leaving the police station, she returned with Yan Xianhong to the original neighborhood to formally apologize to the Chu family, as agreed.

Before doing so, she transferred double the amount of money Zhang Xiaoyu had spent on her over the past two days.

But Zhang Xiaoyu transferred it back, firmly advising her: though it seemed like a lot, she should spend wisely since life often requires unexpected expenses, and ten million wouldn’t last in an emergency.

So, using Xiaoyu’s address, Yan Qing sent thank-you gifts to her and everyone at the police station.

She will never forget the first act of kindness she received after coming to this world.

…

They soon arrived at the Chu residence. Yan Qing checked her appearance—a simple short-sleeve shirt and pants, her hair tied back in a ponytail, her forehead bare, showing off her delicate but striking features.

Her original father had been the top student in his village and later got into one of the best universities in the country. He was good-looking, though his family had been poor.

But he was smart and hardworking. Eventually, he met Yan Qing’s mother, a beautiful girl, on campus.

The original Yan Qing had inherited her parents’ best features. Although she’d been raised harshly and had slight malnutrition, her natural beauty and bone structure were undeniable.
