“Xue-er, where are you?”

Mother Shu knocked on the door for a long time. No one answered her. She got a little angry.

Ever since Shu Hang went to jail, their lives got harder.

Shu Xue opened the door. She had huge eye bags. “Mom, what are you doing?”

“What are you doing? Why aren’t you going to school?” Mother Shu stared at her. “Look at you now.”

“How can I go to school like this?” Everyone in school knew that she’d stayed in Shu Ran’s villa before. They also knew that her father was in jail.

“What can you do at home?”

“Why must you care?”

“I’m your mother. If I don’t care about you, who will? No one knows what’s going to happen to your father. Are you trying to anger me now?”

“Stop talking. You’re irritating.”

Shu Xue retreated into her room.

“Me? Irritating? I feed you and serve you every day but you find me irritating?”

Mother Shu grabbed Shu Xue’s hand. The two of them started pushing and pulling at the door. Mother Shu got angrier.

They were chased out of the villa last time, but they still had money then. Their lives were still comfortable.

After Shu Hang went to jail, she spent a lot of money trying to fish him out. They didn’t have much left.

Yet, Shu Xue still acted like this. How could she not be angry?

“I don’t want to listen to you. You’re irritating.”

Shu Xue pushed Mother Shu forcefully and slammed the door shut.

Mother Shu: “…”

Shu Xue collapsed into her bed.

She kept calling a number on her phone.

Unfortunately, the phone was off.

Guan Shaoyu disappeared again.

Maybe he went overseas for work.

Shu Xue comforted herself.

However, a few days later, she saw Guan Shaoyu on the television.

His face was blurred, but she still recognized him instantly.

Guan Shaoyu had been caught?

How is that possible?

Shu Xue sat on the sofa in a daze.

Her mind was in a whirl.

She really didn’t know what Guan Shaoyu’s identity was. He acted like the boss of a company so she felt that he was one.

Shu Xue spent the next few days doing nothing.

Mother Shu was having a hard time too. The two of them would fight whenever they saw each other.

“Shu Xue, I sold the house.”

Mother Shu suddenly said this at the dining table.

“What?” Shu Xue felt that she heard wrong.

Mother Shu replied, “This house is expensive. We don’t have much money on us. We can’t afford to live here.”

“Mom!” Shu Xue stood up. She was furious. “You didn’t discuss this with me!”

Mother Shu said, “Why must I discuss with you? We were the ones who bought this house for you.”

“Well, you still have to discuss with me, right?”

“I’m your mother. Why must I get your consent when I sell the house?”

Shu Xue panted heavily.

Her parents bought the house, but it was under her name.

Shu Xue gritted her teeth. “Where will we stay?”

“I rented a house outside.” Mother Shu sighed. “Xue-er, I don’t have a choice. There’s no money left in the account.”

She really didn’t have much choice.

Shu Xue was speechless.

Mother Shu was the one taking care of everything in the house. Hence, Shu Xue didn’t know how much money they were left with.

But, from the way Shu Hang spent his money, they really didn’t have much left.

It was easy to go from poor to rich, but hard to go from rich to poor.

The new house was much smaller than their old one. The environment was bad too.

Ever since she moved into the Shu family’s villa, Shu Xue had had a good life. Before that, with the help of Shu Ran’s parents, her life wasn’t hard, either.

Shu Xue thought that this was the hardest time she’d ever had.

However, something unexpected happened.

One day, when she came back, she realized that the house was empty.

Mother Shu had disappeared.

Even her luggage had disappeared.

There was only a card left on the table.

Shu Xue looked everywhere, but there was no sign of Mother Shu.

She remembered that Shu Hang still had some shares in the company so she went to the company. The person there told her that Shu Hang’s shares had been sold.

The person who sold the shares was Mother Shu.

Mother Shu only gave her two million in the card.

For a normal person, two million was enough to last an entire lifetime.

But, to Shu Xue, it was too little.

She never expected her mother to abandon her.

Shu Xue looked for her mother everywhere, but her mother seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth.

She didn’t know how to spend her money wisely so the two million was gone in an instant.

She looked for the friends she had last time, but no one was willing to help her.

Shu Xue was wealthy and powerful in the past. Everyone had to treat her like a princess. They were already showing mercy by not making her life worse.

Shu Xue had no choice but to work.

The work was tiring and the pay was little.

She couldn’t look for higher-paying jobs since her education level was low.

Hence, she started taking loans. She had reached the legal age to take loans.

Loans were easy to take, but hard to pay back.

Shu Xue couldn’t pay the money back.

She believed other people when they told her that there was a job which could allow her to earn a lot of money in a short time. However, when she realized what it was, she rejected the offer.

The bank kept pestering her to pay the money back. Shu Xue had to accept reality.

The moment she went past her bottom line…

She sank further down.

“Boss Li, I like this.”

A man hugged Shu Xue as she pointed to an expensive necklace. She whined at the man.

“Buy it.” The man leaned beside her and whispered something into her ear.

A look of disgust flashed in her eyes. She controlled her expression and smiled sweetly at the man. She pretended to be embarrassed.

After buying the necklace, the man left after receiving a call. He asked her to take a taxi back.

Shu Xue went to exchange the necklace for cash.

She walked out of the shop and waited for a taxi on the side of the road.

She looked at the crowd. She suddenly stopped.

There were several people looking at a couple on the other side of the road.

The man had a cold aura and was wearing a black trenchcoat. He placed his arm around a lady and led her past the crowd, preventing her from being bumped into by the passersby.

The lady was holding a cup of milk tea. She bit the straw and looked up at the man.

Many people looked at them with envy.

The surroundings started turning quiet.

Their presence was glaring.

They were like superstars on stage.

Shu Xue felt cold all over.

Why…

Why was she having such a good life while she was in this state?

Shu Ran.

Why!

Her parents were dead. Why could she have such a good life? That life belonged to her.

Honk…

The piercing sound caused Shu Xue to regain her senses.

She turned her head. She had walked onto the road.

“Are you looking for death! If you want to die, don’t die in front of me!”

The driver shouted at her.

The cars behind him kept honking. People were shouting everywhere.

Shu Xue felt a chill down her spine. She quickly walked back onto the walkway.

She looked around. The two people were gone.
