Chapter 26

“This is good, Fourth Brother. I don’t want to cause trouble for myself anymore, nor do I want to trouble all of you,” Nanyan’s words made An Xiran unable to persuade her to return to the An family.

Two years of neglect and mistreatment had undoubtedly hurt her deeply.

It wouldn’t be easy to repair their relationship anymore.

“If you need anything, just tell Fourth Brother. Don’t bear everything on your own,” An Xiran said.

Nanyan replied lightly, “Alright.”

An Xiran sighed after hanging up the phone.

He then called Lu Lehua.

Lu Lehua’s tone was unpleasant. “Did you tell her what I said? Is she coming back or not?”

A hint of mockery flashed in An Xiran’s eyes as he casually replied, “She won’t come back home. From now on, I’ll take care of her. You can just pretend she never returned to the An family.”

Other people’s children were treated like treasures, cherished in the palm of their hands.

But his own biological daughter was treated like a weed, without a single kind word or gesture.

No wonder Yanyan despised the An family.

Now he, too, had lost his favor towards the An family.

Since that’s the case, he might as well buy a small apartment like the one Yanyan bought and live outside together with her.

Lu Lehua had initially planned to forgive Nanyan if she admitted her mistake and promised to behave in the future.

In the end, she refused to admit her mistake and even managed to confuse Fourth Brother, showering her with affection instead!

Lu Lehua was so infuriated that she hung up the phone forcefully.

“What’s wrong? Nanyan still won’t come back?” An Yaoqing looked at her angry expression and guessed the outcome.

“She won’t come back. Fourth Brother even said he would take care of her. Are these two planning to drive me to death?”

“I told you not to expose her identity back then. Just bring her back and treat her as an adopted daughter. But you insisted on publicly revealing her identity. How much grievance did Yaoyao suffer? Now, Nanyan’s return has brought shame to the An family.”

Recalling the past events made Lu Lehua’s chest ache.

She had raised An Muyao for eighteen years, so her feelings towards her were undoubtedly deeper than those for Nanyan, who suddenly came back from the countryside.

Even though there was a blood relationship, Lu Lehua had always believed that Muyao was her biological daughter, and she had given her all her love. How could she spare any of her motherly love for Nanyan?

If Nanyan had been obedient and well-behaved, they would have developed a relationship over time.

However, Nanyan’s actions had completely chilled Lu Lehua’s heart.

An Yaoqing helped soothe her by patting her chest and comforting her, ” She was wronged a few days ago. It’s good to let her stay outside for a while. Anyway, Fourth will take care of her, so you don’t have to worry.”

“I’m just worried about her bringing shame to the An family.”

“She knows her limits. Alright, it’s late. Let’s go to sleep.”

Nanyan finished all the remaining tasks, packed them up, and sent them all to Bai Yiqi.

She felt a bit stiff in her neck and glanced at the time.

It was 23:45, almost midnight.

She closed her computer and went to take a shower with her robe in hand.

Her phone, placed on the table, suddenly lit up.

After a few seconds, it dimmed again.

After another ten minutes, the screen lit up once more.

Nanyan had just finished her shower and came out.

She walked to the table and picked up her phone.

There were two messages from Shen Junqing:

[Little sister, would you like to go on an exciting adventure with your brother?]

[Are you sleeping? Then go to sleep. Good night, An An~]

Nanyan: “…”

She would let him think that she had already fallen asleep.

No matter how exciting it was, she didn’t feel like playing.

The next day, Qin Lu still drove her to school.

On the way, Nanyan received 200,000 yuan in commission from Bai Yiqi, along with a series of flattery.

Bai Yiqi had stayed up all night and had just returned in the morning.

Then he saw what Nanyan had sent him.

After reading it, he wanted to set up a sign to worship Lord Y.

This was absolutely a living immortal!

A living Bodhisattva who helped others in times of distress!

Someone who rescued him from danger and solved his worries.

Bai Yiqi got excited for a moment, then sent another sincere message:

[Lord Y, are you really not considering joining us? If you join, not only will you receive a 50% commission, but there will also be bonuses for you. You could easily make five million a month!]

Nanyan: “Not interested.”

Even five million couldn’t move her heart.

Bai Yiqi: “Alright, Lord Y. I’ll ask again after a while.”

Nanyan: “…”

The car stopped at the entrance of Zhide High School, and Nanyan unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car.

She looked at the lowered window and saw the excessively eye-catching face of the man inside. With a pleasing smile, she said, “Brother, I can take a taxi back to the hotel after school. You don’t have to specially come to pick me up.”

“Ok.” Qin Lu lazily glanced at her and instructed, “Go straight back to the hotel after school and don’t wander around.”

“Oh…”

Does he have an addiction to being her brother, proudly flaunting his status of being her brother?

“Goodbye, Brother.”

“Wuyue, drive.”

An Muyao watched Nanyan get out of a car, still speaking so pleasingly to the person inside, and couldn’t help but bite her lip.

Did those people not deal with her yesterday?

They truly were a bunch of useless people!

Who was the person who brought Nanyan to school?

That car definitely didn’t belong to An Xiran.

Nanyan’s expression instantly faded as Qin Lu closed the car window and drove away.

Carrying her backpack, she turned and walked towards the school.

An Muyao’s eyes flashed with a hint of darkness, and she quickly caught up.

“Nanyan, wait a moment.”

Nanyan heard An Muyao’s voice and turned around.

She saw An Muyao running towards her.

“What’s the matter?”

Her unmistakable tone of impatience made An Muyao suddenly feel embarrassed.

It was school time now, and there were students all around.

An Muyao was the recognized elegant goddess of the school and also the vice president of the student council. Even the teachers had to give her face.

Nanyan’s reaction added to An Muyao’s increasing annoyance.

She gritted her teeth and suppressed her anger, putting on a perfect smile on her face. “Nanyan, you haven’t been home these past two days, and I couldn’t reach you on the phone. Where have you been?”

Her voice was loud enough for the surrounding students to hear.

When those people heard that Nanyan hadn’t been home for two days, their expressions towards her instantly changed.

A girl who didn’t return home at night was a symbol of a bad girl.

Nanyan already had a poor reputation in school, and now with this added piece of information…

This was An Muyao’s plan.

She wanted everyone to know that Nanyan, at such a young age, had become a bad girl and was messing around with others.

Nanyan’s rosy lips curled up slightly, her peach blossom eyes revealing a cold glare.

“An Muyao, I’ve warned you before, don’t come looking for trouble in front of me.”

An Muyao’s face froze, unable to react.

Did Nanyan dare to hit her in front of so many people?

In the next second, Nanyan’s right hand pressed onto her shoulder, and then she took a step forward, getting closer.

Nanyan leaned in close to her ear, nonchalantly whispering, “Someone will come looking for you soon to settle yesterday’s score.”

An Muyao’s pupils suddenly contracted…
