Huo Ye frowned as he explained.
"She's not a gold digger, she was just fooled by Old Huo, didn't you know that? And her 'helpful citizen' act is genuine."
He personally went to the station to retrieve the person; whatever her motives, she was genuinely doing a good deed.
Huo Yuan's expression gradually turned cold.
He knew, of course, that the police station had personally delivered the banner and the bonus.
Yun Lian has always been cunning; those banners she received might just be a stepping stone for her to enter this circle.
After all, whether it's doing charity or sponsoring students, people in this circle are doing it for a good reputation.
His nominal mother was the same; she was willing to abandon her own son for the sake of fame.
Huo Yuan's dislike for Yun Lian deepened even further.
"Brother, what kind of spell has she cast on you to make you speak up for her like this?"
Huo Ye turned and walked towards the stairs, glancing sideways at Huo Yuan with a warning in his eyes.
"Huo Yuan, you've crossed the line."
Huo Yuan felt intimidated by his gaze, muttered a few words, and followed him back to his room.
Yun Lian was unaware of the undercurrents between the two brothers.
Yun Lian, enjoying the rose scent in the air, drifted off to sleep.
When Yun Lian woke up, she quickly packed a few of her usual clothes and went downstairs.
She was not joking about leaving the Huo family.
Although Old Man Huo died young, he gave her a luxury villa and several million dollars right after he tricked her into marriage.
The original owner regularly allocated a sum of money each month to his younger brother so that he could take care of their sick mother.
Judging by the timeline, the original owner's mother should be almost recovered.
Yun Lian had already cut off the funds before going to sleep. They considered the original owner's money dirty and wouldn't have spent a single penny if it weren't for the medical treatment.
Later, besides treating illnesses, there were many other "what ifs".
Their aloofness is merely a tool to control others; they spend what others consider dirty money simply for the sake of their aloofness.
Yun Lian was eager to see if they could still maintain their high moral character if their source of funding was cut off.
As soon as Yun Lian came downstairs, she ran into Huo Ye, who was carrying a tablet upstairs.
Huo Ye glanced at the suitcase in her hand, his eyes flashing with hidden anger.
Where does she want to go fooling around this time?
"Yun Lian, you haven't even been home for a few days, where are you going again?"
What could a person with nothing to do possibly need to worry about? She's busier than him, who's always busy with countless affairs.
Yun Lian looked down at Huo Ye from her high vantage point.
"Didn't I say before that I was going to leave the Huo family? Anyway, I don't belong here."
Yun Lian gave Huo Ye a gentle smile.
"Huo Ye, congratulations, you are now free."
Huo Ye's Adam's apple bobbed as he reached out and grabbed Yun Lian's suitcase.
"What's the meaning?"
"Your father and I are not legally married, and we have no relation to each other. It is really improper for me to live with you. Huo Ye, I should be free too. I want to go out and love myself properly."
Huo Yuan braced his hands on the top of the stairs: "Brother, let her go. You know how Mom is playing hard to get. She'll be back in a couple of days."
Huo Ye recalled the image of her leaving home before, but his intuition told him that this time she was serious.
"Are you coming back? Why don't you call me after you've calmed down, and I'll come pick you up?"
Yun Lian pulled her suitcase over: "No need, I won't be coming back."
Huo Ye stared at Yun Lian's back, took a half step away, and then stood back in the same spot.
She voluntarily withdrew from his world; shouldn't he be happy?
Huo Yuan jumped down happily.
"Brother, how long do you think it will take for her to come back this time? How about we make a bet? I bet she'll be back in three days."
"I'm bored if I don't gamble."
Huo Yuan gestured with his fists and made faces behind his back.
When Yun Lian came out, she noticed that there were many roses planted in front of the Huo family's gate. No wonder they smelled so good.
She felt relieved when the female lead appeared. She was able to heal Huo Ye's heart, which was full of wounds in the original story, so Huo Ye, who was now in good condition, should not be a problem either.
After several twists and turns, Yun Lian finally arrived at the villa.
They say older men are more caring; the villa was huge, surrounded by flowers like a fairytale world.
"Miss Yun, welcome home. I am your personal butler, Xiao Ye. Please feel free to ask me anything."
The butler was dressed in a well-tailored tailcoat and wore a monocle, giving him a very retro and mysterious feel. Most importantly, he was quite young.
Yun Lian began to look forward to her future life.
"Okay, Xiao Ye, I'll contact you if I need help."
"Does Miss Yun need a nanny?"
"Yes, I like Guizhou cuisine, so I'll find an auntie who cooks really well."
"Okay, I'll give you the results tomorrow."
The villa is regularly cleaned and tidied, so it's practically move-in ready.
Yun Lian liked the second floor. The windowsill of the master bedroom on the second floor was covered with delicate pink roses, offering a great view of the swans in the artificial lake.
After enjoying a short afternoon, Yun Lian prepared to try out a job, as she had never worked before in all her years of life.
No, I carried a large bag when I rescued Xiao Huoxi before.
I wonder if those blond-haired guys are still alive, and whether they ended up harming Huo Xi's mother.
However, they were taught the techniques at the time, and if they really practiced them, they would not be able to harm Huo Xi and his mother. After all, if they practiced them, disobeying the commander-in-chief's orders would only result in their bodies exploding and dying.
Yun Lian wandered around the villa area for half a day, but couldn't find a restaurant, let alone a job.
Yun Lian left the villa area and randomly found a shop to grab a bite to eat.
There are plenty of job opportunities outside.
But none of them liked Yun Lian. Some thought she was too uneducated, some thought she wouldn't last long since she wasn't married, and some thought she wasn't strong enough as a woman and preferred to hire a man. The reasons were varied.
*
Huo family.
Huo Yuan grinned and said, "Brother, Mom's been having trouble finding a job. Our e-sports team is short of a cook. Do you think she'd be ecstatic if I hired her?"
