The old house in my impression has not changed much. She experienced being hostile, feared, driven, and protected here.
These disturbing emotions galloped through her mind, leaving only an afterimage. She suppressed her emotions, opened the door calmly and walked in.

"Miss."

Yuan Cen was standing at the door, staring at her steadfastly.

Sheng Jin looked around. It seemed that the servants in the whole old house had been dismissed. When she walked in, she only saw Yuan Cen.

She raised the corner of her mouth sarcastically: "You are so cautious."

Yuan Cen understood the meaning of her words, and explained: "The old man's health is not as good as before. Your cousin's family has another residence, and the servants will only come at a fixed time."

"go in."

Sheng Jin walked past him and glanced at him.

In the blink of an eye, she has taken the status of master.

Yuan Cen lowered his head, covering up the emotions in his eyes, and followed behind her without saying a word.

In the living room, an old man in his 60s was quietly sitting on a rocking chair. His hair had turned gray, his face was a little relaxed, and the bags under his eyes were slightly raised, but his expression was calm and majestic.

Sheng Jin stopped in his tracks: "Grandpa."

Old Master Sheng's eyes moved slightly, he turned his eyes and landed on Sheng Jin, his eyes were bright, as if he was confirming something.

After a long time, he blinked slowly: "I'm back."

"En." Sheng Jin sat down on the sofa opposite him, and looked back at Yuan Cen, "Still leaving?"

Yuan Cen looked at Old Master Sheng silently.

Grandpa Sheng: "Let's go."

After Yuan Cen left, Sheng Jin said with a smile that was not a smile: "I didn't expect this dog who can devour the master to listen to grandpa like this."

Mr. Sheng was silent for a moment: ".I never targeted you."

"Yes."

Sheng Jin nodded slowly, "But you didn't stop the Sheng family when they regarded me as a scourge, and you didn't stop me when I became an abandoned daughter. You didn't even stop Su Baifei when he got my parents' belongings."

After speaking, Sheng Jin's casual tone suddenly became heavier, and she spoke word by word, staring deeply at Old Master Sheng.

The reason why she fell into Su Baifei's trap and sent her to that underground research institute was because she took her parents' belongings!
It was the only thing left to her by her parents who died young
"You are still Miss Sheng, the legal heir of the Sheng family."

Facing Sheng Jin's gaze, Old Master Sheng said heavily, "As for the relic, it was an accident."

"This accident caused me to be imprisoned underground for a year!"

Sheng Jin asked, "Grandpa, have you ever thought about looking for me?"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Mr. Sheng to answer, she continued on her own, "Probably not. After all, I, the natural disaster star, is gone, so you are more relaxed, aren't you?"

This time, old master Sheng didn't make a sound for a long time.

Sheng Jin's chest trembled slightly, she calmed down the unknown anger that surged up in her heart, and leaned calmly on the sofa behind her again.

After a while, Old Master Sheng spoke again: "We will clarify the news on Hot Search."

Sheng Jin also didn't think that Mr. Sheng would admit right away that this was not the purpose of her coming back this time.

She stood up and said softly, "I just came back to take the relic away."

Mr. Sheng didn't stop him.

He watched the back of Sheng Jin leaving the living room and going upstairs, until Sheng Jin's figure disappeared from his vision, he leaned back on the back of the chair all of a sudden, feeling much older in a daze.

Sheng Jin went back to his room.

The layout of the room has not changed much, it still presents the original layout, the floor is clean and tidy, maybe someone has been cleaning here regularly.

——Even if the master is no longer there.

Sheng Jin went straight in, came to the bed, and picked up a wooden box placed on the bedside table.

The box was opened, and the music box inside popped out.

Sheng Jin caressed lightly the family of three carved out of wood, with nostalgia in his eyebrows and eyes.

The craftsmanship of woodworking carving is a bit rough, but full of love.

After the passage of time, they still stand quietly in the music box, waiting for the owner to find them back.

Sheng Jin lightly fiddled with the rotating wooden spoon, and there was a slight clicking sound, and soon the music box began to rotate.

Along with the music are the voices of the parents.

"Jinjin, happy ninth birthday!~"

"Our little princess has grown up again, happy tenth birthday!"

"."

"Happy 17th birthday, Jinjin has become a big girl."

"You will die so soon, Mom and Dad may not be able to witness your growth. Happy birthday, do what you want to do, Jinjin."

"Mom knows that you will say that we are childish, but Jinjin, you are the most precious gift to us."

Sheng Jin was sent to Hongde Temple on her eighth birthday, and her parents carved this music box specially for her.

They stored their blessings in it in advance until Sheng Jin's.

Hearing her parents' voice after a long absence, Sheng Jin's fingertips shaking the wooden spoon trembled slightly. She looked calm, but her eyes were fixed on the three little figures on the music box.

When the mother's last gentle words fell, she closed the wooden box.

Staring at the wooden box in front of her, Sheng Jin remembered her mother's last words, the corners of her lips could not help but curl up, and she murmured, "Childish."

Picking up the wooden box, she turned and went downstairs.

Old Master Sheng was still sitting in the living room, but the rocking chair turned around, leaving only the back view of Sheng Jin.

Standing at the stairs, Sheng Jin watched his back and said softly, "Goodbye, Grandpa."

After that, she left with the wooden box in her arms.

Walking out of the Sheng family gate, Sheng Jin was not surprised when he saw Yuan Cen standing in the courtyard at the gate.

She walked past him indifferently.

"Miss."

Yuan Cen suddenly made a sound.

Sheng Jin stood still and glanced at him: "Since you have made your choice, let's follow your path."

——It depends on who wins the battle.

Sheng Jin glanced back at the huge Sheng family, frowned imperceptibly, and a strange feeling suddenly came to his heart, but it was fleeting.

Her eyes were slightly condensed, and she left here calmly.

Yuan Cen watched her leaving without saying a word, then turned and walked into the room.

Hearing the footsteps behind him, Old Master Sheng didn't turn his head, he shook his head lightly: "Su Baifei, you lost it too early."

Yuan Cen: "I just accelerated the pace of her suicide."

"That's all." Old Master Sheng didn't bother to pursue further, and asked him instead, "Why did Xiao Jin get involved with the Horus Group, haven't you found out yet?"

Yuan Cen shook his head solemnly.

"...It can only be found that the time when Horus rose and the time when Miss left roughly coincided."
