A window in the school hallway was open, letting in a cool breeze.
He Yang stood at the draft.
He tightened his clothes, didn’t close the window, but anxiously and worriedly asked with his phone in hand, "Mingzhu, where are you now?"
Liu Mingzhu gave an address.
He Yang imdiately replied, "Wait for , I’ll co to pick you up."
Liu Mingzhu agreed, hung up the phone, and then stood up and thought for a while before seeking out Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu.
Liu Mingzhu’s face looked awful when she approached them.
Her eyes were red, and her face unusually pale as if she was sick.
"Dad, Mom, I, I feel terrible, seems like I ate sothing bad, I..."
Liu Mingzhu clutching her stomach: "I can’t, I need to go to the restroom."
"Go ahead then."
Mrs. Liu, dismissively waving her hand: "Really doesn’t know how to enjoy life, can’t even eat well, go on, we’ll take our ti eating."
Liu Mingzhu clutched her stomach and ran.
Liu Qing muttered, "A lazy donkey has lots of crap and pee."
"Just eat yours."
Mr. Liu placed so dishes into Liu Qing’s bowl.
Liu Qing lowered his head to eat, Mrs. Liu then discussed with Mr. Liu, "Since the Zhao Family has abandoned Mingzhu, we can’t stay in the Capital either. I think we should sell her apartnt."
Mr. Liu nodded, "Hmm, sell the apartnt, we take the money and go back. Capital’s housing is expensive, and that one is a school district house; it will definitely fetch a good price. Then we can buy a few more apartnts in the county for Liu Qing, just collecting rent will be enough for us."
This idea seed good, and Mrs. Liu started planning what kind of apartnts and shops to buy in the county.
anwhile, Liu Mingzhu hadn’t really gone to the restroom. She left the restaurant and hurried to the address she had given to He Yang.
After about fifteen minutes, Liu Mingzhu saw He Yang arriving.
Seeing He Yang, her eyes welled up with tears again.
He Yang, seeing Liu Mingzhu’s pitiful state, felt heart-wrenching.
"What exactly happened?"
Liu Mingzhu whispered to He Yang: "I don’t know why my parents don’t want anymore? Maybe Anning said sothing because she is indeed the real young lady of the Zhao Family, their biological daughter. My parents surely care about her feelings. Actually, I don’t bla her; she had tough tis at the Liu Family, so her anger towards is expected."
At this, Liu Mingzhu lowered her head, looking even more frail and pitiful: "I just, I don’t want to go to the Liu Family; I’m scared... Liu Qing said they want to sell off, those two people in the Liu Family are discussing selling my apartnt."
The last sentence was entirely made up by Liu Mingzhu.
But coincidentally, Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu were indeed discussing selling her apartnt.
Liu Mingzhu continued speaking, unconsciously grabbing He Yang’s hand: "He Yang, I’m at my wit’s end, I really don’t want to leave the Capital, nor do I want to leave you, please help ."
He Yang knitted his brows and pondered for a mont: "You an, you still have an apartnt under your na?"
Liu Mingzhu nodded: "Right next to our school, just a few minutes away."
He Yang asked again: "Has it been transferred under your na yet?"
Liu Mingzhu nodded again.
He Yang then said: "You originally have a residency in the Capital. Even if the Zhao Family doesn’t want you now, your residency should still be in the Capital. Moreover, you have an apartnt under your na. In this case, you can absolutely stay; you can get your own residency book, just based in your neighborhood."
Liu Mingzhu’s eyes brightened: "Really? I can really stay?"
He Yang nodded: "I think it should be possible, let help you find out more about it."
Liu Mingzhu was initially happy, but then she beca troubled again: "He Yang, that plan might not work; I’m still a minor."
Her words reminded He Yang.
Liu Mingzhu is still a minor, she must have a guardian.
But she has her own biological parents, before any severance of parental ties, how can soone else beco her guardian?
He Yang thought for a while: "I’ll ask around for you again."
Liu Mingzhu looked at He Yang with hope: "Thank you, I... could you help find a place to stay? If the Liu Family catches , they will definitely force to sell the house."
He Yang naturally agreed.
"I have a vacant house, you can move in and stay there for a while, I’ll figure out how to resolve the issue with your household registration."
"Okay."
With He Yang’s help, Liu Mingzhu quickly left and then hid in He Yang’s house.
Initially, Liu Mingzhu had considered what to do if He Yang couldn’t help her.
She thought if He Yang didn’t help her, she would have no choice but to rely on sympathy.
After all, she had been in contact with the Liu Family for years and knew exactly what they were like.
The Liu Family favored boys over girls and had particularly bad characters; Anning suffered a lot while at the Liu’s.
Liu Mingzhu then presented so evidence of how the Liu Family had tornted Anning over the years, thinking that many people would condemn the Liu Family.
Then, Liu Mingzhu would use public opinion to extricate herself from the Liu Family.
But now that He Yang was willing to help, Liu Mingzhu wouldn’t make any more trouble.
She would hide for now, and once she obtained her household registration, she could continue to stay in the Capital.
After all, she still had money, and selling the jewelry would be enough for her to live on. She planned to live frugally, study hard, and after getting into university and finding a job, her life would improve.
Of course, she also wanted to find a way to take revenge on the Zhao Family.
If it wasn’t for Zhao Han’s ruthlessness in driving her away, she wouldn’t have ended up holess.
Liu Mingzhu was panicked and tired that day, and after arriving at He Yang’s place, she ate sothing and went to sleep.
Anning went to the cafeteria for lunch after school at noon.
Because she spent extra ti reading, by the ti she reached the cafeteria, Xiao Yuan had already gotten her al.
While eating, Anning and An Xin discussed.
An Xin told Anning in detail about Liu Mingzhu’s whereabouts and also about Liu Mingzhu seeking help from He Yang.
Anning asked An Xin not to act rashly and to continue monitoring Liu Mingzhu.
Liu Mingzhu wanted to escape the Liu Family and live a carefree life, a beautiful thought indeed, but Anning would let her enjoy a few good days before letting the Liu Family find her.
After the Liu Family searched anxiously for several days, they were definitely furious. Seeing Liu Mingzhu, they would surely beat her severely, and afterward, they would undoubtedly keep a close watch, never letting her out of their sight again.
Liu Mingzhu was probably going to live a prisoner’s life from now on.
Anning and An Xin exchanged a few words, arranged so timings, and then concentrated on eating.
While eating, she overheard two junior high school boys at the next table discussing.
"Did you hear? The high school robotics competition is starting again."
"Really? Let’s go together when the ti cos."
"A few seniors from our high school section seem to have registered. I heard the prize money is substantial this ti, and the difficulty has increased too."
"Forget it, it has nothing to do with us anyway; we’re not capable of participating."
Hearing this, Anning asked Xiao Yuan: "What is the robotics competition?"
She genuinely didn’t know, as the original body’s mories had no ntion of it.
Xiao Yuan wasn’t very sure either, so he called Zhang Ke over to ask.
Zhang Ke is a robotics enthusiast, asking him about this matter would definitely be correct.
