"Bitch, you must have done it on purpose!" Tang Xinyu hadn't slept all night. Her mind was filled with the grievance and frustration of being slapped by her father. The more she thought about it, the more she hated Gao Han. As soon as Gao Han woke up, she dragged him to the garden to question him.
"What do you mean by intentional?" Gao Han asked back with an indifferent expression.
Tang Xinyu had never seen such an expression on the original owner's face, let alone his attitude. Seeing that he did not admit it, she raised her hand to hit him.
Gao Han grabbed her wrist and asked, "Do you want me to go and talk to my uncle?"
Tang Xinyu's eyes sparkled, and she gritted her teeth and said, "You finally admitted it, didn't you?"
"Admit what? Admit that you asked your friend to beat me up?" Gao Han stared at her and said calmly, "What would my uncle think if he knew about this?"
Hearing him being so confident, Tang Xinyu sneered, "Bitch, do you really think..."
"Xinyu!" Tang Minghao came out and interrupted her at the right time.
Gao Han looked at Tang Minghao who jumped out. He had already discovered that this man was hiding nearby and eavesdropping. He didn't know what he was thinking.
But if he hadn't shown up, Tang Xinyu might have told the truth.
Of course, he soon found out.
"Xinyu, he's your cousin, how can you say that to him?" Tang Minghao came over and held Tang Xinyu, looking disapproving, "Why don't you apologize to your cousin?"
Tang Xinyu felt her brother pinch her hand hard, and she was no longer so impulsive. But he asked her to apologize, "No way, I won't apologize. He caused me to be slapped by my father, and I haven't settled the score with him yet. Brother, you didn't stand by me and speak for me, but asked me to apologize to him. I hate you too!"
After Tang Xinyu finished speaking, she ran away in a rage.
"Xinyu!" Tang Minghao called her but got no response. He said to Gao Han helplessly, "Gao Han, I apologize to you on behalf of Xinyu. Don't bother with her. She is just spoiled by us and has such a bad temper. She said something bad to you in the casino last night. Don't take it to heart. Her words don't represent us. My parents and I have always treated you as a family member."
"I know." Gao Han said, "I won't bear a grudge against her for this, don't worry."
Of course, he did not bear a grudge against Tang Xinyu. The person the Tang family had wronged was the original owner. He had no hatred towards the Tang family, but he would fulfill the original owner's wish as a way to repay the kindness of occupying the original owner's body. The first step was to move out of the Tang family.
Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Tang Minghao nodded and went to comfort Tang Xinyu.
…
Tang Zhenping said he would help Gao Han find an apartment to move out. Gao Han asked him about it in the evening, and Tang Zhenping told him that he was too busy today and had not found one yet, but he would definitely help him find one tomorrow.
Gao Han was not surprised. He didn't expect Tang Zhenping to really help him find it. If he really found it, it would most likely be somewhere not far from Tang's home, so he found a few himself that night.
"Uncle, I've looked at a few apartments myself. The prices are not expensive and I like them all. How about you help me take a look?" Gao Han pulled out the holographic projections of several apartments so that Tang Zhenping could have a more intuitive understanding.
Tang Zhenping didn't expect that he had been prepared. He was very unhappy with the illusion of being forced to do something, but he said calmly: "These apartments don't look big, and the location is not that good. Why don't you let your uncle help you find a bigger one."
"It's boring to live in a big house alone. These are enough. I want to be self-reliant, but I can't afford the rent for a big house." Gao Han shook his head and stopped Tang Zhenping from speaking in advance.
Tang Zhenping could see that he was stubborn, just like his sister, and just as unlikable.
"That's it."
Tang Zhenping casually pointed to the apartment closest to the Tang family.
"Since you want to be self-reliant, your uncle will satisfy you, but don't go back on your promise."
"I'll try my best, uncle." Of course it was impossible for Gao Han to really report his whereabouts to him every day.
Half an hour later, Gao Han came down from upstairs carrying a bag. All the original owner's most important things were there.
"Is it necessary to leave so soon?" Tang Zhenping said unhappily. Since yesterday, he felt that something was getting out of his control.
"School is about to start, and I want to settle down as soon as possible," said Gao Han.
This made sense, and Tang Zhenping couldn't say anything more about him.
As soon as Gao Han left, Tang Xinyu ran down the stairs. She wanted to yell at Gao Han, but when she saw Tang Zhenping's expressionless face, she lowered her head and instantly became like a docile kitten. "Father, Gao Han is gone just like that. What if he runs away?"
Tang Zhenping is very stubborn about the family rules. When they are out, their children can only call him father and not dad, as if this can tear off the label of inferiority.
"He can't run away, just take care of yourself." Tang Zhenping said and went back to the study.
"Mother." Tang Xinyu acted coquettishly towards Mrs. Tang.
Mrs. Tang touched her head and said, "Listen to your father and don't ruin your brother's good deeds, otherwise your father will be angry again. Mother protected you last night, but she may not protect you next time."
"I understand." Tang Xinyu agreed reluctantly, but turned around with an unwilling expression.
Tang Minghao saw it and said nothing.
…
The apartment chosen by Gao Han had ready-made furniture, so one could move in right away with just their luggage. It only took ten minutes to get there by taking the Skybus from the station near Tang's house.
The short time does not mean it is close to the Tang family.
In the 3510th year of the Earth calendar, the Earth's technology has developed rapidly. Although it is not as good as the future world, holographic technology has been popularized throughout the world. The old telephones have been eliminated and replaced by communicators like optical computers.
You can have video and voice communications anytime and anywhere, and you can also connect to the Internet directly without having to go home to surf the Internet. This is one of the biggest breakthroughs in the new century.
The second breakthrough is the aerial bus, which is currently the fastest growing means of transportation. It has now become the most widely used and influential means of transportation on the earth. It only takes half an hour to travel from the southernmost to the northernmost part of Qing City. People are even unwilling to drive when traveling. Except for the wealthy, they all drive hover cars, which can also take the air passage.
There was a man waiting for him at the door of the apartment. When he saw him coming up, he immediately walked up to Gao Han and asked, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Gao?"
"I am." Gao Han nodded.
The man looked at the identity information he sent, confirmed it was correct, and opened the door of the apartment. He took out a document from his briefcase and said, "This is the rental contract for the apartment. Please take a look. If you have no other objections, please sign it. There is also an electronic file that needs to be signed..."
The man talked a lot incessantly, and Gao Han just flipped through it casually, took out a pen and wrote his name neatly. It seemed to him that he had clearly not read the contract carefully.
"What's the matter? Don't you have an electronic document to sign?" After Gao Han finished signing, he saw him staring at him blankly, his eyebrows moved slightly, and he asked.
"Oh..." The man reacted and pulled out another electronic document for him to sign.
Gao Han also signed his name neatly. He actually guessed what the man was thinking.
As a genuine spirit refiner, he knew all the contents of the contract at a glance. However, this world is mostly populated by ordinary humans. No matter how loud the cultivators are, they dare not destroy the balance between ordinary humans and cultivators. Therefore, most humans still do not know that there is a kind of spirit refiner who fights against the heavens in this world.
The original owner’s adoptive parents were one of them. They only vaguely sensed that something was wrong, but when asked to say it out loud, they knew nothing.
