Mrs. Cheng neither agreed nor objected. "Oh, it's alright. Our two families visit each other more often, and you'll see I'm not a petty person. Zhuohua can do whatever she wants; I don't care."

The First Madam felt even more embarrassed. "Don't trouble yourself. I'll teach her manners properly so she won't embarrass you after the engagement."

Mrs. Cheng said hypocritically, "That's true. These two children aren't engaged yet. Although I like Zhuohua very much, it's not good for her to stay at the Cheng Mansion all the time. You can take her away, but you must bring Zhuohua to our house to play often in the future."

Xu Zhuohua lowered her head and couldn't help but chuckle softly. She didn't know who she was talking to in this kind of polite conversation.

One openly dislikes her, the other secretly dislikes her, and they're even putting on an act here. Xu Zhuohua really doesn't want to listen to any more of this.

Xu Zhuohua said, "Okay, I'll go upstairs to pack my luggage."

Mrs. Cheng nodded. "Go ahead."

Xu Zhuohua went upstairs, and Xinghua bowed to everyone before hurriedly following Xu Zhuohua.

The First Madam's voice came from behind, "Oh dear, look at her, with all these elders in the room, she just turns around and leaves, she has no manners at all."

Cheng Muyun's brows had been furrowed ever since he heard the First Madam reprimand Xu Zhuohua.

He wasn't in the mood to listen anymore and nodded, "I'll go upstairs and change my clothes first."

Mrs. Cheng readily agreed.

As soon as Cheng Muyun reached the second floor, she heard Xinghua crying, “Miss, what should we do? If you go back to the Xu family, it will definitely not be as comfortable as it is at the Cheng mansion. The second young lady will definitely bully you again, and the first madam does not like you either. Moreover, you will not be able to go to Zhendan University to study.”

Xu Zhuohua was busy packing her things.

“Xinghua, don’t cry. Neither the Cheng Mansion nor the Xu family is my home. It’s the same wherever you are. At least the Xu family doesn’t have Aunt Xu, so no one will bully you. As for me, don’t worry, no one can bully me.”

Cheng Muyun stood at the door, listening to Xu Zhuohua's words, and felt a pang of heartache.

“Miss, it’s the same for me wherever I am. Although the warlord’s wife doesn’t like you, she never skimps on your food, clothing and other necessities. The first wife might not be so. You’ll definitely suffer when you go back.”

Xu Zhuohua sighed, "Well, there's nothing I can do about it. It's okay to go hungry for a few meals. As long as I still have a relationship with Cheng Muyun, the First Madam won't sell me to the old man. At least I'm safe."

Xinghua's cries grew even more pitiful, "Waaah, Miss, our good days are over."

Xu Zhuohua packed her luggage, then changed into a dress that Cheng Muyun had bought for her, and carefully folded the damaged school uniform.

She really wanted to study at Aurora University, but once she returned to the Xu family, she couldn't leave the house anymore, so she probably wouldn't have a chance to go to Aurora University. It's good to keep it as a memory.

"Alright, Xinghua, grab your things and let's go."

Xinghua obediently followed, her eyes filled with desolation at losing hope in life.

Xu Zhuohua carried her suitcase to the door, saw Cheng Muyun, and was slightly taken aback. "Cheng Muyun, what are you doing here?"

When Xu Zhuohua called him by his full name again, Cheng Muyun actually felt a little warm towards him.

"I’m waiting for you."

"Wait for me? Wait for me for what?"

Cheng Muyun took Xu Zhuohua's suitcase and said, "You can continue studying at Aurora University. I will arrange everything, and I will not let you be bullied in the Xu family."

Xu Zhuohua chuckled, "Cheng Muyun, you're not a member of the Xu family, so why are you meddling in their affairs?"

Cheng Muyun raised an eyebrow and smiled, "I have my own methods, and you've seen my tricks before."
