Chapter 4: She doesn't want to work hard anymore

She had just returned home, and her father didn't ask a word about her situation, how she got back without the family car, or why she came back so early. He only remembered his other daughter.

Even though she had prepared herself mentally, she still felt sad for the original owner when the moment finally came.

The faint smile on Mingnan's face completely disappeared, "I don't know."

"Don't know?" The original owner's biological mother, Ms. Ning Lan, immediately turned around and looked at her with frowns, "She is your sister after all. You came back and left her alone there? You didn't even say hello to her before you left?"

"She is eighteen years old, not eighteen months."

Mingnan looked at the fruit plate they had carefully prepared, curled his lips, ignored their angry and disappointed looks, said "I'm not feeling well, I'm going back to my room to rest first" and went upstairs.

Ming said sternly, "Stop! Is this how you talk to your parents? Do you have any manners?!"

Mingnan turned a deaf ear to the voice and walked up the stairs steadily, heading straight to his room at the end of the corridor.

Ning Lan stood up angrily, "Mingnan! What are you so angry about? You are eighteen years old, not a child. Don't you have basic manners?"

Mingnan stopped in front of the door and turned to look at them. The look in his eyes was cold and distant, which they had never seen before.

She said, "I know you don't like me. Don't worry, I will move out tomorrow and won't stay and cause trouble for each other."

After saying that, she opened the door, entered the room, and locked it, all in one go.

Ning Lan and Ming Lu watched the door close without any reaction, just staring for a long time.

Ning Lan asked Ming Lu in disbelief: "Why is she like this?"

Ming Lu snorted, "Isn't she always like this? She cries at the slightest provocation and is not magnanimous at all. I shouldn't have let her go."

Ning Lan was silent for a while, frowned and asked, "Do you want to send someone up to check? She said she wanted to move out, but she won't really move out, right?"

"Then let her move! I wonder where she can move to! What is she if she leaves the Ming family? She is just trying to attract attention with this trick. Don't worry about her. She will behave herself when she sees that it doesn't work."

Mingre sat on the sofa, picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea slowly, looking confident.

Ning Lan glanced at the closed door again, sighed, and sat down, "Huaishu is still the one who is less of a worry."

Mingnan sat on the bed, listening to 205 relaying the conversation to him. At the end, 205 said angrily, "You didn't say anything wrong, how could they be so mean?"

It was very angry, but Mingnan didn't react much.

205 puzzled: [Host, are you not angry at all? ]

Mingnan found a charger for her phone and plugged it in before it ran out of power and shut down. When she saw the screen light up, her eyes lit up too, and she asked happily, "Why are you angry? Just scold me, it's not like I'll lose a piece of meat. Let them be angry. It's not me who will suffer if they get sick from anger."

She got up, opened the closet, found an old suitcase in the corner that didn't fit in with this exquisite room, pulled it out, opened it, and started packing clothes into it.

205: [Are you really leaving? Where are you going after you leave? ]

"I can rent a house, work part-time, or do anything. Anyway, I can come and go by myself without any worries. If I am well fed, the whole family will not be hungry." Mingnan packed up the clothes she had worn before. She didn't even look at the expensive clothes she hadn't worn.

205: [Don’t you want to change the Ming family’s opinion and give them a slap in the face? ]

"The original owner's wish was to change her fate, stay away from the scumbag and see different scenery, but she didn't say anything about changing the Ming family's mind. Moreover, for parents like them who put profit above all else, it's impossible for them to change their inherent prejudices. Why waste time?"

"They don't deserve it~" Mingnan smiled as he lay on the bed, "And have you heard that saying?"

205: [What?]

Mingnan held his chin with both hands, tilted his head, his eyes clear and bright, "Wasting time on someone who doesn't love you is unfair to the person who loves you."

Life is short, and life is short, love is not enough, so we should not waste our time with resentment.

205 seemed to be lost in thought and said nothing more.

Mingnan took out the slippers and canvas shoes she brought with her. The canvas shoes had been brushed very clean, showing how much the owner loved them.

She reached out and touched the upper of her canvas shoes and sighed. She was like Cinderella wearing crystal shoes, enjoying the scenery of the upper class for a brief moment. When midnight came, her beautiful dream was shattered, she returned to her original form, and it was time to return to reality.

The original owner didn't bring much with her when she came, so it was easy for her to pack. After locking the suitcase, she picked up her charging mobile phone and took a look. An hour ago, Ming Huaishu and Gu Huaichi each sent her a WeChat message, asking about her situation.

She first opened the heroine's dialogue box and said that she had gone home. She then opened Gu Huaichi's dialogue box, edited a long paragraph to apologize and promised that she would not bother him again in the future, sent it, and then deleted all contact information related to him.

If you have to break it, break it cleanly.

Mu Yanshan returned to the lobby, where Gu Huaichi was clinking glasses with someone with a glass of red wine. When he saw him come out, he immediately went to greet him.

"Yanshan, where have you been? Why did you come back so late?"

Gu Huaichi realized something was wrong and asked, "Where's your coat?"

"Borrowed someone." Mu Yanshan picked up the champagne on the table and took a sip.

Gu Huaichi raised his eyebrows, "Borrow? From whom?"

"Are you asking a hundred thousand whys?" Mu Yanshan glanced at him and said, "Don't worry about me. I'll finish my drink and leave. Go and greet other people."

"No, it's so hard for us to get together." Gu Huaichi said as he clinked glasses with him. When he got closer, he suddenly smelled a faint scent of perfume.

He was startled and looked at Mu Yanshan in surprise, "Are you going on a date with someone?"

Mu Yanshan raised his eyebrows, neither admitting nor denying, and only said: "I met an interesting person."

Gu Huaichi smiled in surprise and was about to speak when the cell phone in his pocket rang. He took it out and looked at it, his face slowly darkening.

Mu Yanshan noticed that he had a strange expression, so he took a quick glance and saw that the other party's note was: Mingnan.

Mingnan?

He couldn't help but stand up straight and take another look.

Mingnan sent a long message, but it was so dense that no one knew what he said. Gu Huaichi suddenly put down his wine glass and typed: What happened to you?

Click Send and a red exclamation mark appears.

Gu Huaichi: “???”

Mu Yanshan: “.”

Gu Huaichi turned his head and looked at him suddenly, and couldn't help but confirm: "I was... deleted?"

Mu Yanshan couldn't help but pursed his lips, "Yeah."

Gu Huaichi: “…”

"What are you laughing at?" He asked angrily.

Mu Yanshan turned his face away, smiled and shook his head, "Nothing, I just thought of the person I just met."

“She’s really interesting.”

The next day, when Mingnan opened his eyes, it was already bright outside the window.

She took out her cell phone and saw that it was already half past ten in the morning.

No one called her, and she slept more soundly than ever before.

After washing and changing her clothes, she picked up her suitcase and went out in a good mood, but she ran into Ming Huaishu who was about to knock on the door.

After staring at each other for a moment, Ming Huaishu's eyes fell on the antique suitcase in her hand and he was stunned for a moment, "Are you going on a trip?"

Mingnan shook his head, his tone relaxed, not showing any sign of loss, but rather a bit impatient, "No, I'm moving out."

Ming Huaishu's eyes widened. "Why are you moving away all of a sudden? Where are you moving to?"
