Chapter 218: Moving Out
With Liu Man’s brain, can she even attend Capital University? Can she even understand classical literature?
This was no longer a question of dual personality. Sun Weiwei’s previous doubts came to mind again. She couldn’t help but look at Liu Man’s parents. They were chatting with Sun Weiwei’s parents. Liu Man’s mother looked very natural and very happy, but Liu Man’s father looked sad. Today was his big day, so why was he in a bad mood?
The four elders somehow also talked about Liu Man’s transfer to Capital University. Sun Weiwei’s parents were quite impressed with Liu Man and praised Liu Man’s ability.
They also mentioned Zhu Xiyang and Wang Nina, who got arrested.
Zhang Pei and Liu Man had lived together for more than half a year. There was a transition period. She slowly accepted the reality and gradually started to like Liu Man. When facing all kinds of surprises and joys, she was able to calmly respond; however, Liu Chengyu, who just came out, could not hold the news that was beyond his knowledge. His expression looked a little stiff as if he didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry.
Sun Yiyi and Wei Ying thought that he might have been detained for a long time, so he had not adapted to the new environment and had some problems with his mentality.
Seeing Liu Chengyu’s appearance, Liu Man became more worried about how to get along with this father.
It seemed that Liu Chengyu also had the same concern. So on the first night of the family of three, he deliberately avoided Liu Man and basically did not have any positive communication with her.
After the lights were turned off at night, the couple lay in bed and couldn’t sleep.
Zhang Pei persuaded her husband, “I hope you can treat her like Man Man and love her.”
“I can’t do it. I can’t pass my psychological level. To me, she is just a stranger, and… and I feel very uncomfortable when I think of her taking over Man Man’s body. I feel disgusted; it seems that she killed my daughter…”
“How can you think that way!” Zhang Pei said in a huff, “Man Man is still alive and well. The princess doesn’t blame her for occupying her body. Why do you blame the princess?”
Zhang Pei used to be overly dependent on her husband, and everything only revolved around him and her child. Now, with the help of Liu Man, she had gradually become independent. She found her own job and had a stable income. She had a more comfortable life than before. In the same way, she was more dependent on Liu Man. She even felt that she could have no husband, but she couldn’t have no daughter.
“You don’t understand how much she has done for our family. In the past six months, if this princess hadn’t been by my side, I don’t know if I could even survive until you get out.”
“Do you think three million is a small number? In order to let you come out without having to get jailed, I mortgaged the house and almost gave up on everything. If she hadn’t repaid the loan for us, the house would have been sold by the bank.”
“She made 30,000 RMB in the first month as a live-streamer. She found a part-time job through a school professor and made another 50,000 RMB. She went to Hong Kong and got the cat food dealing rights. Not only did she make money to repay the loan, but she also solved my work problems so that I can now rely on my own labor to get food and clothing.”
“What’s more commendable is that, except for the food and clothing of herself and the two cats, she lets me know about every penny she earns. All the money is used to pay off debts, and she tightens her allowance and doesn’t get extra clothing or food. She’s diligent and thrifty. She wears old clothes from Man Man’s old days. She has never bought new ones. She really considers herself a member of the family.
She has made too many contributions to this family, so I will not allow you to slander her! “
Zhang Pei’s tone was very firm.
Liu Chengyu was speechless.
The night was very quiet. The walls at home had poor sound insulation. The conversations between the couple spread to Liu Man’s room clearly. Liu Man nestled in her bed, holding a cat in each hand and staying silent.
At this time, Yu Zhan sent her a message, asking if she had already gone to sleep.
“No, but I am going to sleep,” Liu Man replied. After thinking for a moment, she added, “But I can’t sleep.”
“Haven’t your initial school troubles all been resolved? What else are you worrying about?
“My father came home today, but I don’t get along well with him.”
Yu Zhan thought that Liu Man was just having a bad relationship with her father. He typed, “Then move out and live alone,” He actually wanted to say that she could move to his house, but it felt he was too explicit and too eager, so he added, “You can rent a suitable house outside.”
Yu Zhan’s words reminded her.
Oh, right! She could move out!
Liu Man suddenly felt her heart brighten.
As long as she moved out and didn’t deal with Liu Chengyu, he would not see her anymore, and he would not see her as unpleasant. The relationship between him and Zhang Pei wouldn’t get affected, either.
Early in the morning of the next day, Liu Chengyu went out to see his leader. He committed such a big crime that he could not stay any longer in his original unit. The leader retained his status as a government employee and sought relationships behind the scenes, giving him a new job in another unit.
As soon as Liu Chenyu left, Liu Man went out, too. Hearing the door close, Zhang Pei quickly walked out of the kitchen and saw two cats squatting behind the door.
Zhang Pei had a trace of worry in her heart, for every time Liu Man went out she would always tell her; however, today, Liu Man left without saying a word. Zhang Pei worried that Liu Man heard the conversation between her and Liu Chengyu last night.
Yu Zhan was already waiting at the gate of the compound, for they agreed that he would take her to find a new house. He saw Liu Man approaching from far away. Her face was expressionless from start to end, and she only smiled when she saw him.
“I haven’t seen you recently,” Liu Man wondered, “Where have you been?”
Yu Zhan smiled, “I met a few elders.”
“Are they your relatives?”
“No, they are friends of my parents or grandparents,” Yu Zhan started another topic, “Let’s see if there is a suitable house near your home.”
He considered for Liu Man and thought she should live closer to her parents.
Liu Man shook her head, “I want to live farther away.”
“Where do you want to live? The capital is so big, so we can’t look around aimlessly.”
Liu Man thought for a moment before saying, “I want to live near Capital University.”
In fact, Liu Man had always wanted to rent a larger warehouse, too.
The “expulsion and school transfer incident” had further increased Liu Man’s popularity on the internet. Now, she had over 3 million Wei Bo fans. With the increase in the number of fans on the Princess Man live-streaming platform, she now had more cat food customers. She and Zhang Pei were prepared beforehand and recruited two more workers. The manpower was barely enough, but the storage capacity of the warehouse could no longer meet the increasing purchase volume requirement. Manager Huang could only send a shipment to Liu Man once a week. The shipment volume was set by Liu Man herself. She dared not to increase the shipment volume because the warehouse couldn’t store all of it, which directly caused them to often have a lack of products.
