Chapter 150 Place in their life

[Completed Misson: 600 PS weekly.

REWARD UNLOCK: 2 extra chapters.]

While An Qinyan was returning to the city, something happened on the way. The hotel that they were building in the northern part of the country went through a serious accident as the roof of the building fell on many workers underneath. Many workers were injured even though medical care was provided instantly to them.

She had to take a detour to reach there as the families of the injured workers had come out on the streets to protest against the company.

“What did mom say?” Lu Xuan asked his father who was on the call with his mom. They were supposed to return in the evening but his mom suddenly called his dad telling him not to send the children home.

“Your mom is stuck in a problem. She asked me to let you stay the night here as she would be relieved if you stayed here, ” Lu Zhaolin said. He didn’t tell children how the journalist and extended families of workers were crowding the company’s door and she was afraid that they would reach her home. She didn’t want children to face difficult situations by sending them home while she was in another part of the country. It would be safe as well as relieving if children stayed with him while she was far from home.

“So, I get to stay the night here, ” Lu Xuan said with a smile. He was so happy to meet his grandmother and younger brother. Now that his mom was not home, he would like to spend the night here.

Meanwhile, the look on An Xiulan’s face was complex. She felt as if she was stuck in a family of strangers. She liked Xiaobao and his mama but she couldn’t say the same about his dad and grandmother. She didn’t even know if they would like her presence in that house for long.

Although both Lu Zhaolin and Song Yifei were welcoming to her, she couldn’t tell the same about Old Madam Lu who didn’t even bother to glance at her all this while. And even if the Old lady looked at her, it was filled with unwelcomeness and hostility. She did not want to stay where people didn’t want her.

But when she saw the sparkle in Lu Xuan’s eyes, she paused. Could she deprive him of the right to stay with the family he lived with for sixteen years? As much as he loved to call himself the man of the family, she understood that he was just a normal kid who craved for love and attention. And his grandmother was a figure who loved him endlessly.

“Xiulan, how about I show you your room?” Song Yifei said after a while. “You can see if the clothes that Auntie bought for you are your liking.”

“I have a room here?” An Xiulan asked, surprised.

Song Yifei nodded her head. “Forgive us. You never come to stay with us for long before and whenever you would come, you would stick to your brother all the time. We never thought about preparing a room for you. But last time when you came here, Lu Xuan reminded his father to prepare a room for you or you would feel as if you have no place in our life. We just want to let you know that’s not the case. You are the only daughter of the Lu family.”

Song Yifei looked at her husband and asked, “Right, Zhaolin?”

Lu Zhaolin, who was embarrassed when all eyes fell on him, cleared his throat and nodded his head.

An Xiulan turned her eyes to look at Lu Xuan who was looking anywhere but at her. However, from the red tips of his ears, she could tell that he was shy. She felt a spark of happiness in her heart when she found out that she had a room in this house. She wasn’t happy for herself but for the original host who died without getting the love of the Lu family.

‘Xiulan, ‘An Xiulan whispered in her heart. ‘Wherever you are, I hope you are seeing this. Many people care for you.’

“Come on, ” Song Yifei held her hand and brought her upstairs to show her the bedroom that she had prepared for her. Everything inside the bedroom was handpicked by her and her husband. She was glad her husband was finally coming around or she was afraid that he would have this regret of never trying to get to know his daughter.

Regret is a deadly vine.

“Is it up to your liking?” Song Yifei asked in a nervous tone. She had chosen the furniture of this room that was all in white. For the walls, one behind the bed was painted baby pink and the other three were left white. Since the furniture was white, every other accessory in the room was baby pink from the beddings to the curtains to the cute rugs on the floor.

An Xiulan nodded her head. She didn’t know about other girls, but after coming to this world and getting to know different shades of pink, she fell in love with all of them. She instantly fell in love with this room as soon as she saw it.

“Let me show you your closet, ” Song Yifei opened another door and showed the girl the clothes, shoes and make-up that she had purchased. “Don’t you love glitters? Look how many glitter eyeliner I found for you. This baby pink one would look pretty in your eyes. Do you like everything?”

“Auntie, this is too much, ” An Xiulan said in an embarrassed tone. “How will I use all of them? Also, the other girls at my school frown when I use makeup.”

“You are allowed to do anything at home, ” Song Yifei said. “If you like anything, you can bring them with you. Ah Xuan comes here every week to spend the weekend here. You can come here with you and try out all the clothes and shoes I bought for you.”

“Mom will scold me for being a materialistic baby, ” An Xiulan ended up saying out aloud. “But what does this baby do? She is a sucker for pretty clothes, shoes and makeup.”

A/N: Hello there, thank you for your patience while I was updating Privilege chapters. It must be hard on you all to wait for 4 days. Actually, I couldn’t make a stockpile and now I had to muster up the update of two books along with 10 chapters of privilege and burned myself badly. My eyes hurt and so does my head right now. I can’t look at the screen for the time being.

I have few things to say before the normal chapter updates begin. Don’t worry, my ranting won’t cost you coins as I always put it after posting the chapter and the system only recognises the coins of old Word counts.

1…..I have 2.9K collections currently but why does my vote not increase 700? The goal of this month is to cross 1000 power stones. I know it is possible. So, kindly help me.

2….I had 65 privileged readers last month. I hope I had almost the same this month too. First of all, thank you all of you for helping me reach 1K unlocks and we got a 7 days feature.Our Goal is to reach 1K privilege unlocks again. So, dear readers, kindly show your power.

3…I’m thinking of posting 3 chapters a day and doing two mass releases in a month. What do you think about it?

4….I have come up with an idea. Whoever buys the last two tiers of privilege can ask for the scene of your favorite character in it. For example, Reader A likes Song Xueyun and Lu Xuan together, all you have to do is buy the last or second last tier privilege and post the screenshot in comments and put in your request for your favourite character scene. Also, the buyers of the last two tiers can claim 100 coins worth code. (Do note only the first 10 people can claim the coin code.)

5…The goal of Golden tickets this month is 200!
