Chapter 418: Chapter 418 Thank You, Brother He

...

Mianmian sat in He Nan’s car; they were almost at the city.

She knew that Shen Jianhua and Zhou Lanfang would be waiting for her at the school gate, so she handed in her last test early and found the principal to let her out through the back door.

If she guessed correctly, her parents should still be waiting. They wouldn’t leave until the school closed.

She took a deep breath and looked at He Nan, "Big Brother He, you’ve gone to quite some trouble for me today. After I went in, did they make a scene?"

Although she knew Shen Jianhua and Zhou Lanfang were the types to bully the weak and fear the strong, when it came to money, it was hard to say.

There’s a saying that goes, "Men die for wealth, as birds die for food."

"It was okay," He Nan didn’t seem to take the matter to heart, replying simply, "Living alone in the city might be uncomfortable at the start. Be prepared."

A warm feeling brushed Shen Mianmian’s heart.

Was Big Brother He worried about her being uncomfortable living alone in the city?

If she didn’t have the memories of her past life, she might indeed be uncomfortable. In her previous life, after sending off the second son of the Gu Family and Gu Jianbin, she had always lived alone. That time, despite being lonely, was the most steadfast period of her life. It was a pity that it didn’t last two years before Jianhua was diagnosed with cancer.

Now going to the city alone, in other people’s eyes, a young girl might seem lonely and pitiable. Little did they know, for her, it was actually an escape from a demon’s lair.

"Big Brother He, I won’t lie to you. I’ve actually planned this for a while now. Once high school starts, I’ll rent a place in the city to live. I’ll just go back to see them once every half month," she said, pursing her lips, then continued, "I just didn’t expect that they would go to such extremes. I have a good sister in the village; she’ll come to help with the store in a few days. It won’t be lonely for us to live together; we can look after each other."

A glint of admiration flickered in He Nan’s eyes. At such a young age, she had thought everything through so thoroughly. A girl like her was rare. She was like a pearl dulled by dust; the Shen Family would regret everything they did today, sooner or later.

"I’ll arrange a temporary place for you to stay for a couple of days. Don’t worry about renting. I know a good spot; the rent isn’t too expensive, and the surrounding environment is very suitable for you two girls."

Shen Mianmian’s eyes lit up, not expecting He Nan to be so considerate, "Thank you, Big Brother He."

"Mhm."

He Nan, as usual, naturally accepted her thanks every time without any pretense.

"Your parents will probably be at school to block you tomorrow. If you don’t want to face them, it’s best not to use the back door. Stay in school for an extra half hour before coming out."

They were her parents, and aside from avoiding them, she didn’t have many good options.

The so-called severing of ties was nothing more than her not appearing before them.

"Alright." Shen Mianmian nodded obediently. Big Brother He had the same thought as her; she also planned to leave late the next day.

Today, they would definitely wait very late, not leaving until they saw her. Tomorrow morning they would surely continue, but most likely they would wait on the way to school. Avoiding them wouldn’t be a problem.

They would certainly wait after school too. If they didn’t find anyone at either the front or back gate, they wouldn’t wait as late as before. If she stayed in school a little longer, she could avoid them.

As Shen Mianmian pondered her plans, she slightly pursed her tender red lips. Having recuperated in the school for half a month, she had regained her usual fair complexion, looking like a porcelain doll.

Beautiful beyond words.
