Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After Xia He left, Chen Lian sighed and started tidying up the food in the kitchen, preparing to wait for Xia He to return in the evening to eat.

Xia Ye was so angry that he stomped his feet in place and then sat on the ground, hugging himself, crying.

She had initially thought that she could change her fate by going to school, and even at school, she had encountered someone who she thought could change her life.

But unexpectedly, within a single day, she was hit by one blow after another.

Chen Lian finished tidying up and saw Xia Ye still crying. She pulled her up and said, “Alright, alright! Stop crying!”

“Is your father angry now? He’ll calm down in a couple of days.”

Chen Lian’s consolation had no effect at all.

“Has he been planning to sell me for a long time?” Xia Ye’s eyes held a hint of resentment.

In this family, she had always been the one in surplus.

Chen Lian sighed, “Don’t blame your father. Our family’s situation…”

“Ever since the family split, things haven’t been good.”

“Especially since your grandmother went to see Xia Ru, she hasn’t been around for several days, and we don’t know what’s going on.”

Xia Ye knew that Chen Lian wasn’t worried about Li Jin but about losing the benefits gained through her.

As for why Li Jin had been absent for so long, Xia Ye didn’t care.

She was only thinking about how to avoid the fate of being truly “sold” to the Hua family.

While Xia Ye was thinking, Chen Lian suddenly clapped her hands. “I was wondering why the name ‘Hua family’ sounded so familiar!

“Isn’t it the Hua family from the neighboring village that specializes in the funeral business?”

Chen Lian said with a smile, “I heard their son has done well, and their business has even reached the provincial capital!

“Hey, Ye Ye, this marriage proposal isn’t bad. Why not…”

Before Chen Lian could finish her sentence, Xia Ye had already yelled, “I won’t marry!”

With that, Xia Ye ran out of the house crying.

After school, Jiang Lu leaned against a big tree at the school gate, waiting for someone.

Because the teacher had asked Xia Chen to stay back and help organize the new books in the school library, Xia Wan had left with Liu Hua.

Before they even reached the school gate, Xia Wan spotted Jiang Lu.

Subconsciously, Xia Wan grabbed Liu Hua and headed in the direction of the school’s back gate.

But before they had taken a few steps, Jiang Lu, who had sharp eyes, saw them.

“Hey, Xia Wan! Over here! Let’s walk together! ” Jiang Lu greeted warmly.

Xia Wan wanted to pretend she didn’t hear him and quickened her pace.

However, Jiang Lu seemed not to have noticed Xia Wan’s avoidance and caught up with her, saying, “Did you not hear me calling? Why are you running away?

I’m not a ghost!”

Jiang Lu said cheerfully and also greeted the somewhat dazed Liu Hua beside him, “Hello, I’m the new transfer student, Jiang Lu!”

Liu Hua nodded absentmindedly and, while being hurried along by Xia Wan, extended her hand and waved, “Hello, I’m Liu Hua.”

Seeing that Xia Wan had no intention of stopping, Jiang Lu took a few big steps and came in front of her, saying, “Why are you running away? Is a ghost chasing you? I’m not a ghost!”

Xia Wan was finally forced to stop and looked up at Jiang Lu, saying,

“Classmate, I don’t think I know you.”

“I know you! Your name is Xia Wan!” Jiang Lu was undeterred by Xia Wan’s attitude, introducing himself with a cheerful smile. “I’m Jiang Lu! It’s not too late to get to know each other now!”

Low murmurs could be heard from the surroundings.

Everyone could tell that this new transfer student was quite interested in Xia wan!

Xia Wan didn’t want to become the subject of gossip, so she told Jiang Lu,

“Fine! We’ve met now. We’re going home, so don’t follow us!”

“Let’s walk together!” Jiang Lu didn’t mind Xia Wan’s cold attitude.

Xia Wan’s brows furrowed, almost squeezing the life out of a fly. “We’re not going the same way! Why should we walk together?”

Jiang Lu was about to say something, but Xia Wan stopped him again. “Stop! Don’t follow me anymore! Otherwise, I’ll call the police!”

Jiang Lu finally halted his steps.

He wasn’t afraid that Xia Wan would call the police; he just found her even more interesting.

However, interesting people were best enjoyed after some time of getting to know them.

Liu Hua, who was being pulled along by Xia Wan, looked back at Jiang Lu, who was gradually moving out of sight.

“I think that Jiang Lu is interested in you!” Liu Hua said sincerely.

After Jiang Lu had moved out of sight, Xia Wan finally slowed down her pace..

“He’s not interested in me; I think he’s just looking for trouble!”
