[Little miss, could you not resort to such tactics to solve problems? We are a prodigal system! Can you please understand?]

Chuzheng:

How troublesome!

[…]’How was spending money troublesome? How many people would wish for this! Ignorant! How infuriating!’

Father Ji and stepmother were settling their divorce procedures. Initially, the stepmother still pleaded with Father Ji with kind words.

But when Father Ji refused to back down, the usually gentle and virtuous woman showed her hateful side and wanted to split the family assets with Father Ji.

On account that she had been with him for so many years, Father Ji had not gone too far.

But stepmother was not pleased, yet the terms she said were totally unacceptable for Father Ji. As Father Ji thought about his own daughter, he straightforwardly left them with nothing at all.

Stepmother had managed the assets for so many years. Luckily, Father Ji noticed early and had not let her reap many benefits.

In the end, they only got two houses.

Father Ji gave the pair of mother and daughter the villa they lived in and moved houses with Chuzheng.

After everything fell into place, Father Ji finally had the time to question Chuzheng how she got so much money.

How was she going to explain?

It dropped from the sky?

She won the lotto?

In front of Father Ji’s questioning, Chuzheng did not change countenance and calmly replied. “My savings.”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Usually, Father Ji gave the proprietress quite a lot of money while the proprietress frequently came up with all sorts of reasons and asked for money.

If she saved all this money, it would be quite a big sum.

“You’ve worked hard.”

Suddenly, Father Ji thought of something and lamented.

Chuzheng:

Out of guiltiness, Father Ji wanted to make up for his neglect in the past thus, he treated Chuzheng especially well and she would get whatever she wanted.

The incident regarding Ji Tongtong and Yang Qianqian had spread throughout the school, even those who were not in the same grade knew as it was repeatedly forwarded in WeChat Moments.

Yang Qianqian rested enough and went back to school for class, but she could not withstand an afternoon of mocking before dejectedly leaving the school.

The incident of Ji Tongtong and her… was unbearable to hear.

Ji Tongtong had not attended school. Initially, she took days of leave, but after the divorce of her mother and Father Ji was made known, Ji Tongtong left the school.

“The mission is completed?”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Chuzheng asked King.

Now, Ji Tongtong and Mother Ji were kicked out of the Ji family. Father Ji was full of regret towards her and would probably not remarry.

[…]’With your completion status, you’ve failed… No, you’ve received negative points!’

“I’m asking you a question.”

[…As long as they don’t live better than you in the future, it is considered to be completed.]

So troublesome!

‘Kicking them out of the house was not fine… Indeed, it would only be fine if she got rid of them.’

[…]’How did Little miss get such an idea! Which sentence of his expressed that meaning?’

“Big sister Chuzheng.” San Mao ran over here and panted. “Ye Chen has not been to school for a few days. I heard his family requested a leave of absence for him.”

Over these past few days, because of Ji Tongtong, she had not bothered with Ye Chen.

She had only thought of finding him when she had not received tuition classes from Ye Chen for a few days.

“Leave of absence?”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“Hmm.” San Mao scratched his head. “I heard that he’s sick.”

Chuzheng thought about the information she received on the day before the college entrance examination. Ye Chen must have been unable to take the college entrance examination as he was in trouble so in the end…

Chuzheng flung her school bag behind her and rushed to Ye Chen’s house.

Chuzheng first took a look at Ye Chen’s window, but it was tightly closed and even the curtain was pulled down so she could not see anything.

She glanced left and right before walking up the stairs towards a family’s house.

She had not needed to knock on the door as the door was already opened and someone walked out to move their things.

“What are you here for?” The woman saw someone blocking the way outside and bellowed out. “If you have nothing on, don’t block the way. Move away. Move away.”

“Where is Ye Chen?”

The four words successfully made the woman stand rooted to the ground. After a few seconds, she fiercely howled out. “There is no one here who is called Ye Chen. You’ve come to the wrong place. Leave now and don’t block the way!”

Chuzheng closed the gap between them and the woman felt frantic. “What are you doing?”

The girl in front of her had a cold expression with an icy cold gaze which made one uncomfortable.

The woman shouted towards the inside. “Old Ye! Old Ye!”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Chuzheng pushed the woman inside and the round and fat woman fell back but was caught by the man who heard his name being called.

“What’s wrong?”

Chuzheng entered the house and closed the door.

In the dark room, Ye Chen laid on the icy cold and wet ground. His face was pale but his eyes were as though a venomous snake and had a gleam of hope which made one feel disappointed.

Screech

The door was pushed open and a man walked in. He looked at Ye Chen before saying, “Brat, don’t push yourself. Your uncle owes us so much money. If it was not because our boss liked you, did you think your family could live happily?”

Ye Chen’s lips were cracked with dead skin as he opened his mouth and his hoarse voice filled with hatred. “They are not related to me at all.”

“Aiyo.” The man laughed. “Your uncle is using you to repay his debt.”

Ye Chen gripped his hands tightly.

They were not even his kinsmen, they were a group of beasts.

“Our boss is giving you an evening to think it through. If you still can’t figure it out, then what’s waiting for you is not just this kind of treatment.”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Bang!

The door was closed. Ye Chen’s forehead was supported on the icy cold ground as the blood in his body seemed to have started to coagulate.

He thought he could escape from them soon.

There were two months left… Two months until the college entrance examination and he could leave this place.

But never had he thought that his uncle would do such a thing. His uncle gambled and was in a heap of debt, but when he could not repay his debt, he used him to repay the debt.

He also did not know in this society, there were still such people who did not treat people as humans.

Ye Chen’s nails dug into his skin and blood flowed out from his palm and dyed the ground red.

He could not faint here.

He could not…

After a long time, Ye Chen heard fighting noises from outside. Someone banged on the door and a dull voice was heard.

Following that, the door was kicked open.

Light rays entered from the outside.

Ye Chen’s eyes were not used to the strong light and he could only clearly see the person standing outside the door after a while. The person wore a black suit with a large pair of sunglasses and his hand was even holding a weapon that looked like a mace.

The people outside the door rushed forward. Someone waved the mace and sent people flying.

A person seemed to have entered from the outside as they made way for the person.

Under the light, the woman slowly appeared as she stuffed her hands into her school jacket pockets and her posture was cold with a sense of alienation.

Ye Chen’s breathing was slightly sluggish and he looked as though he could see the girl bringing out a ray of hope in the darkness surrounding him.

Following the light, she walked into the room and every step of hers seemed to be stepping on his heart.

Ye Chen suddenly shrunk back and hid in the darkness as though by doing that, he could hide his pitiful self.

Chuzheng stepped forward while Ye Chen retreated back until he had nowhere to retreat to and leaned on the corner of the wall.

Chuzheng pulled his wrists.

The warmth from her fingers placed on the skin of his wrists gushed through his four limbs as though it was going to burn him up.

“Let’s go.”

Ye Chen was dragged up and he staggered a few times before he supported himself beside the wall and barely stood firmly.

He had not dared to look at Chuzheng and tolerated the pain in his body as he was brought out of the house by her.
