Yi Qiao found out what happened from Lawyer Jiang. The villa was a mess. He needed to clear up the mess.
Yi Qiao was angry and felt his heart aching when he learned what Shu Hang did to Ming Shu.
Shu Hang was her uncle. How could he be so heartless?
âWhy didnât you call the police?â
Lawyer Jiang shook his head. âThere is not enough evidence. The medication that Young Miss was taking has no problem and the attending doctor couldnât be found. Everything is based on our guesses. Itâs no use even if we call the police.â
âThen we canât do anything?â Yi Qiao was furious. âShu Hang is so heartless!â
Lawyer Jiang was used to seeing families fighting with each other over an inheritance. He felt numb.
âMiss Shu Ran had her own thoughts.â
Yi Qiao remembered the young lady that came to find him. The little girl from before had grown up.
Yi Qiao and Lawyer Jiang chatted for a while before Lawyer Jiang left.
Yi Qiao went to clear up the mess left behind.
Although he had not been working for two months, he managed to get used to the work very quickly. After all, he had been working here for a long time.
When Ming Shu came back, the villa had changed entirely. There were a few unfamiliar servants.
âYoung Miss.â Yi Qiao put down his work.
Ming Shu nodded. She walked into the room. âIs dinner ready?â
âYes. Itâs ready.â
All he needed to do was invite the chef back. All the ingredients were available so it was an easy task.
While she was eating, Yi Qiao asked her about her illness indirectly.
Ming Shu was in a good mood so she answered his questions.
Yi Qiao went silent when he realized that Ming Shu was fine. After a while, he smiled. âItâs good that you are fine.â
âSince you are fine, you need to start going to school.â
Yi Qiao managed to direct the topic to studying.
Ming Shu: ???
I just want to be an heiress.
Why do I need to go to school!
I have studied for so many years!
âI have done some research. Changming Senior High is near us and itâs a good school. Young Miss, you can go there.â
After that, Iâll hire a private tutor for our Young Miss. With her intelligence, sheâll be able to catch up with her peers soon!
âUncle Yi,â Ming Shu spoke seriously, âI just want to be a useless heiress.â
âYoung Miss, you will have to inherit the Shu familyâs company in the future. If you donât study, how can you manage the business?â
â...â
Isnât it just managing a company?
I have managed a country before! What is so difficult about this!
[...]
Yi Qiao didnât know how experienced Ming Shu was so he quickly settled the school application for her.
Yi Qiao was an efficient person.
...
Lawyer Jiang was almost done with his work too.
Shu Hang returned all the items he could return and paid for those that he couldnât.
After so many years, Shu Hang had earned quite a lot of money from the company.
After giving Ming Shu the money, his fortune decreased dramatically.
He was living in Shu Xueâs 200 square meters house.
To a normal family, this house was large enough.
However, they were used to living in a villa so this house was extremely small for them.
They couldnât hire servants, either.
Even if they could afford them, there was no place for them to stay.
Hence, Shu Hang fired all the servants.
Only the butler was left.
Shu Xue cursed Ming Shu continuously. All this happened because of her.
âXueâer, are you all right? You have not been coming to school for a long time. Weâre all worried about you.â
The moment Shu Xue got out of the car, a few girls surrounded her.
Shu Xue gave a forced smile. âIâm fine.â
âWhy did you take a taxi to school today?â someone asked curiously. âWhereâs your driver?â
Shu Xueâs expression froze. She replied hurriedly, âHe... is sick today. He canât send me to school.â
The car she used before belonged to Shu Ran.
The one she bought later was paid using Shu Ranâs familyâs money too.
Shu Hang only had one car and he needed to use it.
âI see...â The girls didnât suspect her. âDid you settle your business?â
âErm... yes. Letâs go to class now, itâs starting.â
Shu Xue hurriedly changed the topic and walked quickly toward her classroom.
Shu Xue felt irritated when she thought about the suspicious gazes she had to face from her classmates.
The girls looked at each other before following her in. Their conversation topic changed.
The moment Shu Xue entered the classroom, she saw Ming Shu sitting inside.
She felt a chill down her spine.
Why was she here?
Ming Shu felt that Yi Qiao did it on purpose.
How could there be such a coincidence?
Shu Xue turned and tried to leave. However, the people behind her pushed her in.
The girls saw Ming Shu too.
âHey... isnât that Xueâerâs cousin?â
âWhy is she here? Isnât she...â Crazy?
âNew classmate?â
The person beside them explained to them what happened.
Shu Xue grabbed her bag and lowered her head as she walked toward her seat.
Her classmates looked at her curiously. Their gazes moved between Shu Xue and Ming Shu.
Ever since that event happened, Shu Xue hadnât been coming to school. It was normal that they were curious.
Did that villa belong to Shu Xueâs family or her cousinâs family?
Ringâ
The teacher walked into class the moment the school bell rang. He asked Ming Shu to introduce herself before starting the lesson.
Many people glanced at Ming Shu. She just leaned on the table and slept.
When the lesson ended, some people came to talk to her.
Ming Shu replied politely, but their conversation never exceeded two sentences.
She always managed to end the conversation quickly.
Shu Xue sat in her own seat. When her classmates came to console her, she either shook her head or didnât reply.
Finally, school ended.
Shu Xue packed her bag and left the classroom hurriedly.
âHey, Xueâer, wait for us!â
âXueâer...â
Shu Xueâs friends hurriedly chased after her.
The other students in the class exchanged significant glances.
Ming Shu threw her books under the table. She took the pink schoolbag Yi Qiao bought for her, which was filled with snacks, and left.
âWho do you think the villa belonged to?â
âI saw her taking a taxi to school today. On the other hand, our new classmate had a chauffeur.â
âDo you think that Shu Xue was pretending to be rich?â
âI donât think so. She always wore branded clothes and she never looked at the price when she bought things.â
âYou didnât go so you donât know. We were all chased out. It was so embarrassing.â
âDidnât you say that they are cousins?â
âI heard that Shu Ran has psychosis...â
The students that didnât go to the villa that time covered their mouth in surprise.
âReally? Why is she in the same class as us? What happens if she suddenly goes crazy?â
âYes, Iâm sick. Be careful. I might hit you.â
The people discussing among themselves froze. They looked at Ming Shu awkwardly.
Ming Shu smiled as she walked past them.
