"Well, Shi Miao, you've ruined Xin Xin like this, and you still have the nerve to sever ties with us?" Yun Rujin glared and said shrilly.
"Enough! Shut up!" Gu Yunbai interrupted, looking up at Shi Miao and saying in a deep voice, "Are you sure you want to sever ties with us?"
"Absolutely certain." A faint hint of coldness appeared in Shi Miao's eyes, and her clear, crisp voice was crisp and decisive.
Yun Rujin turned her head away and said with a sneer, "Hmph, Yun Bai, just let her get lost. I hope she won't come back crying and begging later."
Gu Yunbai remained silent for a moment, still hesitant as he thought about Shi Miao's relationship with Ji Yanchen and her familiarity with Master William.
But then I thought about what Shi Miao had done, showing no mercy whatsoever. Even if someone is useful, if they don't listen to me, keeping them around is like keeping a ticking time bomb.
After pondering for a moment, he had already made up his mind. "Okay, from now on, the Gu family will pretend that you are not their daughter. I hope you won't regret it."
Shi Miao shook the phone she had just taken from Ji Yanchen, and slightly raised her chin. "I recorded what you just said. I also hope you won't be so eager to stick to me again in the future."
Gu Yunbai's face stiffened, feeling that the decision he had just made was absolutely correct.
Yun Rujin's exquisitely painted face twisted horribly. Just as she was about to speak, Ji Yanchen glared at her with a cold, piercing gaze.
She immediately shrank back in fright and fell silent.
Shi Miao ignored them and put her phone back in her pocket, saying in a low, hoarse voice, "Let's go."
"Okay." Ji Yanchen stepped forward, took the schoolbag from Shi Miao's hand, hooked the girl's hand in his, and held her hand in his palm.
Gu Yanxin was hiding at the corner of the stairs, eavesdropping on the commotion downstairs.
When he learned that Shi Miao was going to sever ties and leave the Gu family, his face stopped hurting and his head stopped spinning; he almost clapped and cheered.
......
Ji Yanchen led Shi Miao out of the Gu family home, looked down at the girl beside him, and said in a deep, soothing voice, "Let's go to my place."
Shi Miao raised her hand to pull down her baseball cap and declined, saying, "No need, I'll just stay in a hotel."
The man gently squeezed her hand, his eyes filled with tenderness. "I'm worried about you being out there alone. Be a good girl, okay?"
“…Alright then.” Shi Miao looked up at the man’s stunningly handsome face and nodded as if possessed.
Tsk, when did I become so superficial and a sucker for good looks?
It was almost 11 o'clock when I got back to Lanting Apartment.
"Doesn't Ye Chuan live with you?" Shi Miao asked lazily, sitting cross-legged on the sofa while playing on her phone.
“He lives across the street.” Ji Yanchen prefers quiet, so he had Ye Chuan buy this floor directly.
[Knock knock] Two knocks came from the door. Ji Yanchen got up to open the door.
"Mr. Chen, everything you requested has been delivered." Fu Jin was followed by a group of people, each carrying large and small bags.
The man nodded slightly, stepped aside, and said calmly, "Come in, and put your things in the room on the left."
"Yes." Fu Jin waved his hand, signaling them to take their things inside.
Shi Miao, holding her phone, walked over barefoot and asked with some confusion, "What are you doing?"
"These clothes are for you." The man frowned slightly when he saw that she was barefoot. "Why are you barefoot? Go put your shoes on."
Shi Miao raised a slight smirk, her delicate eyebrows furrowed, while still engrossed in playing a game on her phone. "Tsk, what a hassle. Why buy this? I'm not even living here."
A hint of helplessness flashed across Ji Yanchen's eyes. He pinched the bridge of his nose, stepped forward, picked up the girl, and placed her on the sofa.
He braced himself on the sofa, pulling the girl into his arms, his eyes filled with tenderness. "I thought about it and I'm still worried about you living alone outside, so you'll stay here from now on. That way, it'll be easier for me to take care of you. Of course, if you mind, I can move to the other side."
Shi Miao coughed lightly, turned her head away, and said with an unnatural look in her eyes, "Get out of the way first."
Ji Yan raised her eyebrows, her eyes sharp at the corners, yet her deep gaze was filled with a charming smile.
He slowly straightened up, looking at her with doting eyes.
Just as Shi Miao was about to speak, Fu Jin's voice came from behind, "Master Chen, everything is set up."
Ji Yanchen nodded. "Okay, you can go now."
Just then, Shi Miao's phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was Gu Qingshan calling her.
Shi Miao frowned slightly; she hadn't yet figured out how to tactfully tell the old man about this.
After hesitating for a moment, I still pressed the answer button.
"grandfather."
"Miaomiao, what exactly happened? Why did you suddenly cut ties? I don't believe a word your parents say. Tell Grandpa what happened, and Grandpa will stand up for you." Grandpa Gu's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.
A warm light appeared in Shi Miao's eyes, but explaining this matter was rather complicated, and she didn't know where to begin.
Upon seeing this, Ji Yanchen's eyes flickered slightly. He had already asked Fu Jin to investigate what had happened at the Grand Hyatt Hotel tonight.
He held out his hand and said softly, "Give it to me, I'll tell you."
"Ah, okay." Shi Miao breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and handed the phone to him.
Ji Yanchen took his phone and walked to the French windows, patiently explaining to Gu Qingshan what had happened that night.
"Outrageous! How dare they? They're so foolish!" After learning what had happened, Gu Qingshan was so angry that he wanted to slap his good-for-nothing son and daughter-in-law a few times.
“Young Master Ji, I really feel sorry for Miaomiao. It's so heartbreaking to see her go through something like this at such a young age, but I respect her decision. I'm just really worried about her living alone outside. I know her temperament, so could you please take care of her a little more?” Gu Qingshan said earnestly.
The man looked up at the girl on the sofa not far away, and smiled. "Grandpa, just call me Yan Chen. I'll take good care of her, don't worry."
"Okay, okay, Yan Chen, I'm entrusting Miao Miao to you."
"Um."
