Chapter 250: Chapter 250: 250: Don't Leave After School (11)

Don’t mention buying a clubhouse, even just entering one and finding the owner had taken Chuzheng quite some time.

By the time she managed to contact the owner, there was another round of haggling.

However, for someone like Chuzheng, who didn’t want any profits but just to be the owner, and she was underage, unable to directly transfer the clubhouse into her name.

This was literally like money falling from the sky.

In the end, the owner agreed to the deal.

Looking at the balance in the account, the owner couldn’t help but click his tongue in amazement.

Xu…

There happened to be a wealthy Xu family in their city.

But he remembered that the Xu family only had sons, no daughters.

This young lady seemed unfamiliar, he had never seen her before…

But for an owner like him who was accustomed to seeing the wealthy from every corner of the world, perhaps she was a rich person from some other place?

Looking at her generous spending, it was clear she was no ordinary person.

–

Although Chuzheng had bought the clubhouse, she still hadn’t found Jih Cheng.

She wondered if he had left while she was busy buying the clubhouse.

Without finding the person, Chuzheng immediately returned home; she needed a good rest now.

[Isn’t it? You just dropped the “Good Person Card”?]

“What else could I do? I don’t even know where he is,” Chuzheng replied very calmly.

[What if the “Good Person Card” encounters danger! How can you be like this, older sister, you must strive to be a good person!]

“Not being one for a day won’t do any harm, anyways, he won’t die.”

[…]

Chuzheng resolutely and decisively rejected King’s Account’s proposal to find the “Good Person Card.”

When she got home, neither Father Xu nor Mother Xu were there, but she could hear the sound of Xu Shenghui gaming in his room.

She put her belongings back in her room and took some clothes to wash up.

In less than fifteen minutes, when Chuzheng came out, she found that the bag she had left on the bed had been rummaged through, and her phone was gone.

Chuzheng walked out of her room and looked towards Xu Shenghui’s room.

She went over and knocked on the door.

The volume of Xu Shenghui’s gaming was so loud, it was as if he hadn’t heard her knocking at all.

Chuzheng stepped back two steps, raised her leg, and kicked.

The door of the old house was not sturdy, and Chuzheng didn’t kick twice before it opened.

“Chuzheng, what are you doing!” Xu Shenghui’s voice rose in exasperation.

Chuzheng stood at the doorway with a cold face and extended her hand, “Stuff.”

“What stuff, are you sick! Get out!” Xu Shenghui was sitting in front of his computer desk, turning around to glare at her.

Such a young age, yet his face was full of malice.

“My phone.”

“Phone? What joke are you making, where did you get a phone from?” Xu Shenghui didn’t look the least bit guilty, even somewhat triumphant, “Chuzheng if you don’t get out I’ll tell Mom and Dad!”

“Chuzheng, what are you doing at your brother’s door?”

As if in slow motion, Mother Xu and Father Xu arrived at the same time.

Seeing her standing at Xu Shenghui’s door, they immediately spoke up, but without much thought, also instructing her, “Go make us something to eat.”

“Dad, Mom,” Xu Shenghui immediately raised his voice, tattling, “I just saw a bunch of clothes in Chuzheng’s room, she must have stolen your money!”

Xu Shenghui didn’t recognize those brand names, but he could tell the quality of the clothes.

Mother Xu’s face changed immediately upon hearing what Xu Shenghui said, “What? Stolen money?”

“Yeah!” Xu Shenghui smirked maliciously at Chuzheng, “Don’t believe me, go look in her room.”

Mother Xu immediately rushed into Chuzheng’s room.

After a moment, she came out holding clothes and ran to the place where she kept money to search.

Perhaps because the money was indeed missing, Mother Xu’s face turned ashen, her eyes blazing, “You wretched girl, are you stealing money now?”

Father Xu took a look at the clothes for a few seconds and then his face darkened, “Spoiled brat, got bolder, huh? You even dare to steal money from the house!”

Father Xu and Mother Xu were like a comedy duo performing their lines.

Chuzheng was very impatient listening to them.

She walked into Xu Shenghui’s room, her face cold; with a flick of her foot, she slammed the door shut in front of Father Xu and Mother Xu.

Father Xu and Mother Xu were taken aback.

A moment later, Xu Shenghui’s scream came from inside.

The two of them turned pale and rushed towards the room door at the same time.

Although the door lock was clearly broken, they couldn’t push it open no matter what.

“Chuzheng, what are you doing!”

“What are you doing inside, open the door!!”

“Worthless trash, open the door for your father!”

“Son! What happened to you!! Shenghui, Shenghui… You damn girl, you dare to hurt your brother, I’ll make you pay with your life, open the door, open the door!!”

Xu Shenghui’s screams were so pitiful that they tugged at Father Xu and Mother Xu’s hearts.

Father Xu and Mother Xu cursed while pounding on the door.

Looking at the not-so-sturdy door, it now seemed exceptionally resilient, and even Father Xu, a big man, couldn’t break it open.

Ten minutes later.

Chuzheng pulled open the door, holding her phone in her hand. A wisp of silver light flickered through the air and disappeared into her sleeve.

Father Xu lunged forward in a hurry, raising his hand to slap Chuzheng.

“You good-for-nothing…”

Bang!

Father Xu’s forehead crashed against the door panel.

Chuzheng stood quietly behind the door, her chilling aura circulating around her, seemingly making the room’s temperature drop.

“Be careful when you walk,” she said with a straight face, very seriously.

As if it wasn’t her who had suddenly closed the door.

“Shenghui!”

Mother Xu, seeing Xu Shenghui lying on the ground, pushed past Father Xu and rushed in, calling out anxiously for her cherished son.

Father Xu, covering his dazed head, felt his anger surge.

That worthless piece actually dared to fight back!

She thinks she’s all grown up because I haven’t had time to deal with her these past few days!

“Old Xu, Old Xu, come quickly and look at the boy,” Mother Xu shouted, seemingly terrified.

Upon hearing that his precious son was in trouble, Father Xu, clutching his forehead, strode into the room.

Chuzheng walked out of the room, standing coldly at the door, watching this family.

Chuzheng had never been a part of this family.

In this home, there were only Father Xu, Mother Xu, and Xu Shenghui.

Pitiful and pathetic.

Chuzheng crossed her arms and said, “He’s not dead, rest assured.”

“Worthless trash!” Father Xu raged, turning to charge at her, “You actually beat your brother into this state, are you even human?”

Chuzheng dodged Father Xu’s slap and kicked him in the waist.

Father Xu, a regular smoker and drinker who stayed up late playing cards, looked strong but lacked real strength.

Struck by Chuzheng’s kick, he toppled to the ground immediately.

Before Father Xu could react, Chuzheng entered her room.

Father Xu cursed so loudly outside that the whole building could hear him. Eventually, because of Xu Shenghui’s injuries, the couple spitefully took him to the hospital.

Chuzheng waited for them to leave, then also packed up and left the place.

Living here was truly maddening.

The next day, Chuzheng found an apartment near the school, the kind where you just bring your bag and move in.

Probably too preoccupied with taking care of Xu Shenghui, Father Xu and Mother Xu didn’t have the time to bother her.

Xu Shenghui’s injuries weren’t serious, at most it hurt a bit.

Yet Father Xu and Mother Xu acted as though they were on the verge of death with worry, which Chuzheng found quite absurd.

When Chuzheng was once genuinely hanging by a thread, she never saw them even slightly anxious.

Is this the privilege of being the favored child?

Truly frightening.

–

Monday was the start of school.

Considering Chuzheng had treated the whole class to food, nobody in the school openly gossiped about her when she arrived.

Jih Cheng was late to two classes and seemed very sleepy when he entered the classroom, going straight to his desk to sleep.

Chuzheng looked at her phone, browsing a forum post that was spilling secrets about her.
