Chapter 123 The Cannon Fodder Educated Youth Framed by His Stepsister and Best Friend (4)

The next morning, Ding Jianqiang and Qin Guilan walked out of their room with dark circles under their eyes. When their eyes fell on Cang Lan's eyebrows and eyes, which resembled Du Xinyue's, they were struck dumb. Their bodies instantly stiffened. Thinking of the nightmare they had just had the night before, their hearts clenched, and their expressions instantly turned panicked, as if they were afraid that others would find out what they had done wrong.

"Mom and Dad, what's wrong? Didn't you sleep well last night?" Ding Hui's sickeningly sweet voice came from the room as she came out. She immediately saw her parents' listless appearance and rushed over, grabbing their arms with concern in her eyes.

"Mom and Dad, you both look so tired. Did I disturb you by studying with the light on for too long last night? It's all my fault, but I tried my best." As she spoke, she gently shook their arms, her voice full of self-reproach. "I'm not as smart as my older sister, and I can't find a job. I'm so worried. Mom and Dad, what am I going to do in the future?" At this point, she even pretended to sob a couple of times, looking so pitiful that anyone who saw her would think she was an incredibly obedient, filial, and heartbreaking daughter.

Canglan saw through Ding Hui's little scheme at a glance. On the surface, Ding Hui's words were about caring for her father and complaining about herself, but in reality, she was subtly hinting at the allocation of the rural assignment slots.

She deliberately emphasized her helplessness, her lack of job and ability, implying that she would definitely not be able to survive if she went to the countryside. At the same time, she compared herself to Canglan, suggesting that Canglan was smart and capable and could live well even if she went to the countryside. She just wanted her parents to push the "hard job" of going to the countryside onto Canglan, so that she could continue to live a stable life in the city, and even take over Canglan's original job.

"Huihui, your parents just didn't sleep well, it's not because of you. Your sister Lili worked so hard behind the scenes to get a job at the hospital, she'll definitely have a bright future. Don't worry, your dad will find a way to help you." Qin Guilan said to Cang Lan with a smile on her face, but a hint of calculation flashed in her eyes.

Upon hearing this, Ding Hui's lips curled up slightly, and she feigned annoyance, saying, "Mom, all you do is praise my sister. I'm so worried." As she spoke, Qin Guilan glanced at Ding's father, who, receiving the hint, nudged Qin Guilan with his elbow before clearing his throat and walking towards Cang Lan.

Ding's father also had his own plans. He thought that tomorrow was the day to sign up for the rural assignments. If Canglan could get a spot at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital in this exam, he would have to find a way to give that opportunity to Ding Hui and let her go to the countryside in Ding Hui's place. Once she went to the countryside, no one could say for sure when she would come back. Anyway, the house and property would all be his by then.

So, Mr. Ding walked up to Canglan and asked with a forced smile, "Lili, how did your exam go yesterday? Were you confident?"

Canglan merely glanced coldly at Ding's father, indifferently uttered "I don't know!", and then turned and left.

"This child is getting more and more unruly, he's completely out of control!" Mr. Ding frowned, his tone revealing deep dissatisfaction and disgust.

"Dad, Mom, do you think Ding Xianli didn't do well on the exam?" Ding Hui asked, her voice trembling with panic. "She's never like this before. Is she acting so strangely today because she didn't do well on the hospital exam yesterday? Is she worried that she won't pass, which is why she's in such a bad mood? If she really didn't pass, then everything will be over."

"This..." Qin Guilan looked at Ding's father with a worried expression, her anxiety almost overflowing. "What if she doesn't pass the exam? Then we can't avoid Huihui going to the countryside! We have to think of a way. We can't let Huihui go to the countryside to suffer."

Mr. Ding's brows furrowed tightly, and he sighed heavily: "Sigh, this exam is already incredibly difficult. If she really doesn't pass, all our previous plans will be ruined. She's never done this before, maybe what Huihui said is true."

Ding Hui panicked completely, tears welling in her eyes. She cried out in a sob, "If Ding Xianli doesn't pass the exam, all our plans will be ruined. If she has to go to the countryside, I won't be able to escape either, Mom and Dad! What are we going to do? I don't want to go to the countryside, sob sob sob..."

Meanwhile, Canglan, having already retrieved the property certificate and notarized property certificate from under Ding's father's bed, was already heading to the place where the house was being sold.

Just yesterday, after Canglan emerged from the dream of Ding's father and Qin Guilan, she searched their entire room. Apart from a hidden drawer under the bed containing the property certificate, a notarized document made by the original owner's mother, a thousand yuan, and some common receipts, she couldn't find any other property.

"Xiao Bai, thoroughly scan the entire courtyard and all the rooms. I want to take everything of value, not a single penny!"

【Okay! Scanning started, it will take some time, please wait...】 Xiaobai's voice rang in Canglan's mind.

A moment later, Xiaobai sent a message: [Host, there's a box about half a meter deep underground next to the big tree in the southeast corner of the courtyard. It contains a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, and famous paintings, among other valuable items. Also, in Ding's father's room, there's some loose change in his jacket pocket, and 300 yuan of his secret stash hidden in a crack in the wall. Qin Guilan is more casual; she has fifty yuan and some receipts in her jacket pocket. Ding Hui only has two yuan and fifty cents, but the clothes she buys are quite expensive.]

Cang Lan sneered inwardly. This couple, relying on the original owner's mother's wealth, had always spent money extravagantly and had no sense of saving, which made things convenient for her.

Canglan then took out the 300 yuan that Ding's father had hidden in the crack in the wall, took some change from his shirt pocket, and took 50 yuan and receipts from Qin Guilan's shirt pocket. As for Ding Hui's clothes, they could be destroyed later.

After finishing these tasks, Canglan picked up a shovel and went to the yard, quickly digging near a large tree. Soon, she unearthed an old-looking box. She opened the box, and inside were more than a dozen gold bars, gold and silver jewelry, jade bracelets, and some antique paintings.

Cang Lan looked at all this and a cold laugh welled up in his heart. No wonder the three of them lived such a carefree life in their past life. Even Ding Hui was able to marry the hospital director in a grand and glamorous way thanks to this wealth. They really are a bunch of beasts.

Immediately, she put all the money in the box into her own space, then buried the box back. Cang Lan patted the ground filled with soil, a meaningful smile curving her lips. She wondered if they liked this 'surprise'.
