Xie Nian stubbornly continued her sophistry, refusing to believe that Xie Ming could produce any evidence.

"You didn't know, did you? It was filmed the first time you turned on the gas. I drive at night and was worried about your safety at home, so I installed cameras, but I didn't tell you."

The house had never actually been decorated, but that didn't stop Xie Ming from making up an excuse.

"That doesn't mean I wanted to do anything. I just forgot to turn off the stove while I was burning something. Besides, you guys are all fine, aren't you?"

Xie Nian was young, and her words were full of mistakes.

But Xie Ming didn't want to say anything more to her. Why bother with a little beast?

So just as she was about to retort to Xie Ming, she was pushed and shoved out the door.

Even after the door closed, Xie Nian couldn't believe that her father, who had once doted on her so much, would treat her like this.

"Bang bang bang!" "Bang bang bang!"...

Xie Nian started banging on the door frantically, but there was no response from inside.

She wondered why no one around her had reacted at all today, and why no one had noticed anything unusual about her.

Inside the house, after Xie Ming chased the people away, he smiled at Xie Xinran and said, "Alright! From now on, it's just the two of us, father and daughter, relying on each other."

"Dad, I will take care of you in your old age!"

"Silly child, just live your own life well."

Xie Ming went over and patted her head.

Xie Nian, who sat on the stairwell all night, found a cardboard box and a schoolbag next to her the next day.

Inside were all the clothes she usually wore. Thinking that she still had the money she had saved up, she stood up defiantly, put on her backpack, and carried the cardboard box to school.

When she arrived at school, she was puzzled as to why her classmates and teachers ignored her, and even her old friend, Red Hair, didn't give her a second glance.

Feeling wronged, she went to the classroom, put the box on her shelf, and returned to her seat to listen attentively to the lesson.

Unfortunately, even though she actively participated in class when the teacher asked her questions, she didn't receive any response.

After class, she stopped her best friend to ask her something, but her friend just glanced back and walked away, ignoring her completely.

She was subjected to bullying and passive-aggressive behavior at school!

Xie Nian, thinking of her father's ruthlessness and incompetence, and her own plight, buried her face in her hands at the table and sobbed uncontrollably, but no one around her came to comfort her.

The days of being the center of attention are over, and Xie Nian feels like the sky is falling.

Every day at school thereafter was torture. Her classmates’ indifference and her teachers’ neglect made her feel like a thousand ants were gnawing at her heart, causing her immense pain.

What hurt her even more was the sweet daily life of Xu Liyang and his childhood sweetheart, their unintentional interactions, and the lingering look in their eyes, which pierced her heart at every moment.

That person must have exposed what she did, which is why her classmates and teachers treated her this way.

Xie Nian seemed to realize why everyone was ignoring her, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She felt that everything was Xie Ming's fault.

She didn't want to live like this anymore; she had to get her father to come and change his story.

If he says he made those things up, everyone will change their opinion of her.

Perhaps they would feel even more sorry for having such a heartless and incompetent father.

Thinking of this, she stood up and ran out of the classroom, knocking over a chair in the process.

The teacher on the podium looked over, sighed, and told the students nearby to lift up their chairs and close the window.

Xie Nian ran all the way to her doorstep and saw Xie Ming carrying a large bag of things just opening the door.

She quickly followed him inside, spreading her arms to block Xie Ming, saying, "Did you tell my teacher and classmates about it?"

Her eyes were red and filled with tears.

"No, I'm not that bored."

"Impossible! Otherwise, why would no one pay attention to me? It must be you!"

"People probably don't think you're important, and they might even feel like throwing up just looking at you!"

Xie Ming stared at her with a mocking expression.

"No! No! I'm so pretty, cute, and have great grades. If it weren't for my poor family background, Xu Liyang would definitely like me!"

Xie Nian couldn't stand being criticized by others, not even Xie Ming.

"I don't care if you are or not, you'd better get out of here. My family wouldn't dare keep a venomous snake like you."

After saying that, Xie Ming pointed to his watch and said, "It's almost noon, you'll be in big trouble if you don't go back soon!"

Xie Nian seemed to have thought of something, and immediately turned around and ran towards the school.

Xie Ming smiled, picked up the bag from the ground, left a few vegetables to cook a simple lunch, and neatly put the rest into the refrigerator.

After finishing lunch and tidying up, he turned on his computer to check the results of the past few weeks.

The novels in this world are still stuck in the old days, and those melodramatic CEO romance novels have practically slaughtered half of the online world.

Xie Ming loved this kind of world so much; any plot he could come up with could easily crush the entire novel market.

His eyes crinkled with a smile as he watched the data rise daily.

A few days ago, the website contacted him, saying someone wanted to buy his copyright. Xie Ming checked the other party's background and thought they seemed reliable, so he gave them a price. If the other party was willing, he was prepared to sell it.

He doesn't plan to keep most of what he writes now. Adapting his novels for the screen is still quite reliable, and there hasn't been the kind of drastic alteration that happened during his big breakout period.

If he can seize the opportunity to make a name for himself, and then publish a few more novels to overtake competitors and gain a foothold before the market becomes chaotic, then making money in the future will be easy.

Things went smoothly. After all, people in the entertainment industry have a lot of money, and he didn't ask for an exorbitant price, so the two sides quickly reached an agreement.

Upon receiving tens of millions in copyright fees, Xie Ming quickly purchased a large apartment and a small room in the city center on mortgage.
