Chapter 252: The Song Family’s Treasure

On her way over, Song Qingtian had bought a lot of things.

Moreover, this time she was prepared to run away from home.

Previously, she hadn’t been prepared—after all, everything had happened so suddenly.

But this time was different; in fact, she’d been preparing for it for a long time.

Still, before, her preparations were always about preventing problems before they arose—she never imagined she’d really have to run away again.

It was just that she’d packed enough supplies.

The most crucial thing was cash.

She’d set aside several tens of thousands of yuan in cash, precisely to avoid using electronic payment methods and getting caught by Ling Hanyu.

She’d filled an entire car with goods—enough to keep both mother and daughter going for at least half a month.

Once the passwords were set, Song Qingtian brought all the food and daily necessities into the villa with her daughter.

Everything that needed to go in the fridge went in the fridge; everything that needed to go in the cupboard went in the cupboard.

Song Haichao and his wife only had one daughter, Song Qingtian, so logically, Song Qingtian’s room should have been full of her clothes, shoes, and hats.

But when Song Qingtian went to check, everything was gone.

The same went for her mother Chu Mingyue’s room—there was nothing left in the cupboards either.

Song Qingtian immediately understood who the original female supporting character and her daughter were, and just how well Song Haichao treated his wife and daughter.

He never skimped on their clothing or accessories.

Since the items were missing, someone must have taken them.

Ling Hanyu would never do such a thing.

Then who could it be?

Without a doubt, it was Song Yinyin.

“Mommy…”

Ling Nuonuo lifted her little face, looking up at Song Qingtian with a pout, her tiny hand tugging on Song Qingtian’s.

“It’s okay. All the clothes Mommy used to wear were pretty tacky—though they were valuable, Mommy didn’t really like them anyway. If they’re lost, then so be it. But if bad people took them, Mommy will make them give them back—especially Mommy’s mother-in-law’s stuff. They’ve got to return it to us.”

Song Qingtian looked around the house, then took her daughter over to her mother’s dressing table. She opened the box on the table, but everything inside was gone.

Song Qingtian went next to the original female supporting character’s dressing table and found the box empty as well.

She sat down and began to calculate.

She wrote down on paper everything that was missing, along with the monetary value of each item.

“Mommy…”

Ling Nuonuo knew that both her mother-in-law’s and her mom’s belongings were gone, and she felt terrible about it.

“Nuonuo, Mommy has already calculated how much all the lost clothes are worth. As for the jewelry, they wouldn’t dare sell it right away or even wear it—Mommy will get it back.”

Ling Nuonuo pressed her soft little lips together and nodded.

Song Qingtian picked her up and said, “Mommy’s taking you to take a bath. We’ve played too hard today.”

“Mommy… Nuonuo’s necklace is gone!”

Ling Nuonuo was very upset.

She wrapped her arms around Song Qingtian and leaned against her shoulder.

Even without Ling Nuonuo saying anything, Song Qingtian remembered that since she was little, Ling Nuonuo had always been spoiled by her original female supporting character parents. Every birthday and major holiday, they would give her very expensive gifts.

Among them was a sapphire necklace she received on her first birthday, worth several million, which was also gone.

So it must be with Song Yinyin as well.

Song Qingtian knew that most of the original female supporting character’s family’s jewelry was stored in a secret treasure chest underground.

Only a few pieces, the ones they used regularly, were kept out in the open.

So there wasn’t much missing.

“Mommy will get it back.”

Ling Nuonuo nodded.

After their bath, Ling Nuonuo was tired, drank a cup of warm milk, and went straight to bed.

Song Qingtian, on the other hand, got up and headed downstairs to the basement.

Everyone knew that the Song Haichao household had a basement, but no one knew that one wall of the basement was actually a hidden treasure vault.

Song Qingtian opened the vault and took a look. Inside, besides cash and various jewels, there were also some things nobody else knew about.

The original female supporting character had no idea about these things.

They were all secretly stored by Song Haichao and his wife, meant as a gift for Song Qingtian someday.

The couple always felt that their daughter would need them in the future.

But when Song Qingtian was organizing her belongings, she did notice this.

She even remarked how pitiful parents’ hearts truly are.

After briefly checking inside, Song Qingtian came out.

She only wanted to see whether the treasure vault had been discovered and ransacked.

Once she confirmed that it hadn’t, she headed back upstairs.

She then went to the study in the Song Haichao villa and took a look. There was a safe there, and inside were a few pieces of jewelry and some cash.

She also checked the safes in her own room and her parents’ room.

These safes were specially designed: if the security mechanism was triggered, everything inside would burn to ashes.

So… all the safes were completely intact.

Song Qingtian also knew that it wasn’t that Song Yinyin hadn’t tried opening these safes—she just hadn’t dared to, or couldn’t bring herself to.

Song Yinyin must have assumed that everything belonging to Song Haichao would eventually become hers, so she hadn’t rushed.

But now that it had fallen into Ling Hanyu’s hands, she naturally didn’t have a chance.

As for Ling Hanyu, he wasn’t interested in any of this anyway, so he hadn’t touched it.
