"How could we be lonely? Without outsiders to bother us, we can enjoy some alone time together, isn't that wonderful!"

"Then, we won't move!"

Chen Yuyan stubbornly stayed at the Gu family's house and refused to leave.

Jiang Jingxue was also impressed by his shamelessness.

They've already said they want him to leave, how can he stay any longer?

Jiang Jingxue deliberately provoked him.

"Chen Yuyan, you're not refusing to move because you haven't found a job yet, are you?"

Before Chen Yuyan could even speak, Jiang Zhizhi became anxious.

"Jiang Jingxue, what nonsense are you talking about! The principal personally called our Yu Yan last night to say that he's been promoted! I think you just can't stand to see us doing well!"

"Oh, really?"

Jiang Zhizhi believed Chen Yuyan's words without a doubt.

Jiang Jingxue knew that this was probably a trick Chen Yuyan used to deceive Jiang Zhizhi.

She crossed her arms and looked at Chen Yuyan.

"Teacher Chen, which class do you teach at the night school? I've never seen you teach at the school."

Chen Yuyan was terrified that his secret would be exposed.

He tried to justify himself.

"I just started working there. I'm in logistics. I'll start teaching once my official employment is approved."

"Which office do you have? I'll visit you when I go to the school tomorrow."

Jiang Jingxue's persistent questioning left Chen Yuyan somewhat overwhelmed.

He was afraid that if he talked too much, he might accidentally bring up Bai Xiuxiu.

Chen Yuyan had no choice but to give in to Jiang Jingxue.

He chuckled awkwardly and said, "Jingxue, I just thought that the whole family could live together and take care of each other, that's all."

"If you don't like having too many people in your house, we'll move out and find another place to live!"

"But... I haven't received my salary yet, and I'm short on cash. I simply can't afford the rent. Could we stay here for another month? We'll move out as soon as I get my salary!"

Seeing that Chen Yuyan's attitude was relatively good, Jiang Jingxue was in no hurry to expose him.

"Alright!"

Jiang Jingxue took out paper and pen.

"Then let's sign an agreement. I'll only take you in for one month. If you're still staying here after one month, I'll charge double the rent."

Seeing Jiang Jingxue making such a formal scene, Jiang Zhizhi couldn't help but burst into a tirade of abuse.

"Jiang Jingxue, we came to you for help because we considered you family! We never expected you to be this kind of person! Greedy for money! Unfaithful to others for personal gain! You even betray your own family! It's just that we're staying in your house, is it really necessary to be so heartless?"

Yao Guilan also chimed in from the side.

"That's right! Jiang Jingxue, you're the older sister, it's one thing not to help Zhizhi, but you actually want to drive them away? How have you become so selfish!"

Gu Pingwei couldn't stand it anymore, his face turning ashen, and he was about to stand up for Jiang Jingxue.

Jiang Jingxue placed her hand on his leg, signaling him not to make any rash moves.

She could handle all of them by herself.

Jiang Jingxue looked at the group of relatives who were attacking and accusing her, and sneered: "Selfish? I regret not becoming this selfish sooner!"

In her previous life, she cared too much about family ties and her family members, which is why they devoured her completely.

In this lifetime, she has already done enough by taking them in for so long!

Chen Yuyan had a guilty conscience and didn't dare to confront Jiang Jingxue directly.

He quickly signed his name on the agreement, trying to smooth things over.

“It’s really not right for us to keep living here. Besides, this is the Gu family’s house, and it’s not like Jingxue can make all the decisions on her own.”

Jiang Zhizhi had no choice but to sign the agreement.

After the meal.

Jiang Jingxue was reviewing her lessons in her room.

Yue Keqi also came running to find her, saying that studying together would be more efficient.

Just then, a commotion arose outside.

Jiang Jingxue was about to go out and see what was going on.

Qin Liang happened to come looking for her.

"Madam, those merchants from last time have come looking for us."

Jiang Jingxue got angry as soon as she heard this.

"Hmph, they still have the nerve to show their face here? Let's go and have a go at them!"

Jiang Jingxue put down her book and went to the living room.

"Oh! It's you big bosses here. What brings you here?"

When the vendors saw Jiang Jingxue, their attitude completely changed. Now they were all very respectful, with flattering smiles on their faces.

"Comrade Jiang, you're really joking! We're just a few small vendors, and we're only doing this because of you. We're hardly bosses!"

As the vendor spoke, he quickly took out the items in his hands.

"This is a top-quality donkey-hide gelatin, specially brought here for you to nourish your body."

"And please accept this bird's nest soup as well!"

Several people piled the gifts in front of Jiang Jingxue.

Jiang Jingxue picked at her fingers.

"Why are you giving me a gift when it's not a holiday? I can't accept this. You should take it back!"

After Jiang Jingxue finished speaking, she planned to go back to her room.

Several vendors quickly stopped her.

"Comrade Jiang, what happened last time was a misunderstanding. We've come here specifically to apologize to you!"

"Yes, it's a misunderstanding. We don't want a single penny of those problematic seafood. This is the deposit you paid earlier, and we'll refund it to you in full."

The vendor then took out the money.

Jiang Jingxue accepted the money without any hesitation.

“You really don’t deserve this money.”

Seeing that Jiang Jingxue had accepted both the gift and the money, the vendors breathed a sigh of relief.

"Comrade Jiang, could you please go to the police station and the court to withdraw the case?"
