Gu Jinxi, on the other hand, tried his best to reduce his presence and quietly slipped away from the sofa while Grandma Gu and Gu Ziheng were focused on playing chess.

“Where do you think you’re going, Gu Jinxi?” Gu Xingyu, who had been sitting next to Grandma Gu and showing off, immediately noticed and spoke up.

Grandma Gu didn’t even lift her eyes. “Both of you have school tomorrow. Go back to your rooms and do your homework.”

Gu Jinxi gritted his teeth and glared at Gu Xingyu. If it weren’t for Gu Xingyu speaking up, he would have successfully slipped away!

Gu Xingyu provocatively returned a victorious look.

Frustrated, Gu Jinxi wanted to hit someone, but with Grandma Gu watching, he reluctantly went upstairs, unwillingly.

Gu Xingyu followed behind, making sure Gu Jinxi actually returned to his room before going to her own room.

With a triumphant smile, she picked up the doll on the table and gave it a pat. With Grandma present, Lu Miao would never be able to return to this house.

Just as she was about to put the doll back, her fingertip was unexpectedly pricked by a decoration on the doll.

A drop of bright red blood instantly appeared, causing Gu Xingyu to wince in pain. She quickly put down the doll and sucked on her finger.

For some reason, the tiny wound, like a pinprick, unexpectedly hurt so much.

Gu Xingyu found a band-aid to cover the wound, then grabbed a wet tissue and prepared to clean the bloodstains left on the doll.

This doll was expensive and made of delicate materials. If it got dirty and wasn’t cleaned promptly, it would be difficult to restore.

However, no matter how she searched, she couldn’t find the bloodstain she had just seen on the doll.

She had clearly seen the blood drop staining the doll.

After flipping through it several times, she had to give up.

She put the doll back in place, thought for a moment, then turned and walked towards Lu Miao’s former room.

Previously, when Lu Miao was still here, Shen Qinghe had never allowed her to enter. Now, she was going to go in and see what that woman had deceived from Gu Ziheng and Gu Jinxi and hidden away.

What she didn’t see was that the doll on the table’s eyes followed her, and its bright red lips curved into a sinister smile.

Meanwhile, outside the main gate of the Gu family, Lu Miao stood and waited for a while.

When she saw Auntie Xiu coming out with a suitcase, she immediately stepped forward and took it from her hands.

“Auntie Xiu, come with me to Lingyue Manor,” Lu Miao said.

Auntie Xiu was afraid that Grandma Gu would cause trouble for Lu Miao again and quickly waved her hand to refuse. “Madam, thank you, but it’s not necessary. I’ll find somewhere to spend the night casually, and I’ll look for a job tomorrow. After working for so many years at the Gu family, many households are eager to hire me. You don’t need to worry about me going hungry.”

Lu Miao said directly, “I live alone over there and still need someone to cook for me. I’ll pay you the same salary as before, and you only need to be responsible for cooking for me every day.”

Auntie Xiu hesitated, “But…”

Lu Miao was still young, and the Lu family treated her poorly. The house outside was probably given by the Second Young Master. She didn’t have the money to support another person and pay them a salary.

More importantly, Grandma Gut s side… Grandma Gu was already displeased

with her due to Lu Miao and the young masters moving out. Now that Grandma Gu had just driven her out of the Gu family, if Lu Miao sheltered her, wouldn’t it be openly defying Grandma Gu?

It would only make Grandma Gu even more dissatisfied with her.

If she offended Grandma Gu, it would be equivalent to offending an emperor in ancient times. What would she do in the future?

“Don’t worry about Grandma Gu. I never planned to stay in the Gu family anyway, and the engagement with Gu Shiyan will be terminated sooner or later,” Lu Miao reassured Auntie Xiu.

Upon hearing this, Auntie Xiu anxiously grabbed her arm. “What will you do after terminating the engagement and leaving the Gu family? Are you going back to the Lu family? That couple from the Lu family is malicious, they will definitely mistreat you.”

Lu Miao felt helpless. Did she really look like an easy target? Why did everyone think she would be bullied and mistreated?

“Auntie Xiu, don’t worry. I have my own career, and I bought the Lingyue Manor with my own money. I won’t go back to the Lu family, and they won’t be able to bully me anymore.”

“Really?” Auntie Xiu still couldn’t fully believe that a young girl in her teens had such capabilities.

Lu Miao nodded firmly, even considering performing a brick-breaking demonstration on the spot to prove that she wouldn’t be bullied.

Auntie Xiu accompanied her to Lingyue Manor with half-belief.

They settled Auntie Xiu in a guest room on the first floor.

Auntie Xiu put down her belongings and said, “Madam, it seems like you didn’t eat well at the Gu family. I noticed that you barely touched the dishes in front of you. What would you like to eat? I can make it for you now.”

Lu Miao initially wanted to refuse, but then she thought about how Auntie Xiu probably hadn’t had dinner either. She nodded and said, “Auntie Xiu, just call me Miao Miao from now on.”

Auntie Xiu went to the kitchen but soon realized an awkward situation. Except for a few eggs and some dry bread, the refrigerator was nearly empty.

Lu Miao suddenly remembered that none of them knew how to cook except for ordering food from the restaurant for lunch. Breakfast and dinner were usually delivered by the restaurant for Gu Shiyan and the others. As for cleaning and household chores, there was a regular housekeeping auntie who came over every day.

Those few eggs and the bread were probably bought by Gu Qinxi when he was feeling spontaneous and wanted to make a loving breakfast for her.

He only did it once and almost blew up the kitchen. These few eggs were the only survivors.

Feeling a bit embarrassed, Lu Miao said, “Let’s order takeout for now. There’s a supermarket not far outside the residential area, and we can buy groceries tomorrow.”

“But takeout takes a long time to arrive. Let me make you an egg custard with these eggs to fill your stomach,” Auntie Xiu said and turned to enter the kitchen.

Lu Miao took out her phone to order some takeout but was interrupted by the doorbell.

She turned around and opened the door. A young man dressed in black handed her several exquisite food boxes.

“Miss Lu, these were specially ordered for you by the Second Young Master,” the young man said.

Lu Miao glanced at the Heavenly Fragrance logo on the boxes. It would take at least half an hour to drive from the Gu family to here, and considering the cooking time, it meant that the food was ordered as soon as she left the Gu family.

However, Lu Miao closed the door with a quick motion.

She couldn’t explain why, but hearing about it, Gu Shiyan’s actions made her inexplicably angry.

She turned around and was about to go back. After thinking for a moment, she opened the door again and reached out to take the takeout.

“Thank you for your trouble.”

The door closed again.

She could hold grudges to anyone but not food.

The food did nothing wrong! It should not be wasted!

Lu Miao carried the food and walked towards the dining room.

She still liked the food in the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant.

On the Gu family’s side, Gu Shiyan received a message from his subordinates. After reading it, a hint of a smile flashed across his eyes.

The child was angry at him.

Thinking of how she closed the door angrily and then opened the door unwillingly to take the food away, he raised his hand and pressed his forehead..
