On the day I was kicked out of my parents’ home, I had a flash marriage with the richest man.

Under Xia Yiyi's questioning, Grandma Xia stammered and told Chu Shan's current address.

He actually lives in the building next door!

It turned out that grandma saw Chu Shan appear in Xinxiang Home before because Chu Shan moved here to live.

Where did he get the money?

"Did he rent a house again?" Xia Yiyi asked.

Grandma Xia nodded. "He rented the house with a friend! I heard from them that it was probably his friend who paid for it, but his friend has no money left, so he used it all to rent the house."

"So these days, grandma is the one who delivers their food and drinks to them?" Xia Yiyi finally understood why her grandma bought so many dishes every day but only put a few on the table.

Grandma Xia was afraid that Xia Yiyi would blame her for meddling in other people's business, so she lowered her head in shame.

Xia Yiyi swallowed back the words of blame that were on the tip of her tongue, "Grandma, don't send them off in the future. We should not get involved in their family affairs!"

Miao Yajie made such a big fuss, she was really afraid that Miao Yajie would be enraged and do something bad to his grandmother.

Grandma is old. What if something happens to her?

Xia Yiyi helped Grandma Xia back to bed to rest. She turned around to go out, but was stopped by Grandma Xia.

"Where are you going? What are you going to do? You must not betray him! This child is so pitiful! Look at his mother's momentum, she is like catching a thief. If he is caught by her, he will be in trouble."

"What if, what if he gets hit?"

Grandma Xia really feels sorry for Chu Shan.

"Grandma, I won't betray him! I just want to talk to him! He's been hiding, it's not a good thing! Avoiding can't solve any problems! In the end, his mother blamed me for everything! They should have a good talk. He doesn't want to go home, and it has nothing to do with me. I have to remove myself from the problem between them! Otherwise, Madam Chu will come to my house again and ask for me in the future."

Xia Yiyi comforted her grandmother and went out to find Chu Shan.

Dadong heard a knock on the door and thought it was Grandma Xia coming to deliver food.

"Grandma, why are you so early today? What delicious food have you made?"

When the door opened, Dadong saw that it was Xia Yiyi. The smile on his face froze and he quickly waved to Chu Shan behind him, signaling Chu Shan to hide quickly.

"You are Xia Yiyi, right? How did you find this place? Is there something wrong?" Dadong deliberately blocked Xia Yiyi so that she could not see Chu Shan in the room.

When Chu Shan heard that it was Xia Yiyi, he hurried to his room.

Just as he was about to enter the room, Xia Yiyi's raised voice reached his ears, "Chu Shan, I know you are in there! Do you still want to hide from me? The young master of the Chu family is fearless, so he won't be afraid of a woman like me, right?"

Chu Shan paused, put one hand in his pocket, and turned around slowly, "Who said I was scared! Dadong, let her in!"

Dadong moved aside to let Xia Yiyi in.

As soon as Xia Yiyi entered the room, she saw the mess in the house and couldn't help but wrinkled her nose, "Are you staying here for the next few days?"

The house was not bad, with a similar layout to hers, except it had two bedrooms. However, Chu Shan lived in it like it was a garbage station.

The ground was littered with mineral water bottles, disposable cups, cigarette butts, etc. There was no place to step.

Xia Yiyi kicked away the mineral water bottle at her feet and walked towards Chu Shan. "Your mother brought people to my house to arrest you! She said she had cut off ties with you, but in her heart she still hoped you could come home!"

"My mother went to your house?" Chu Shan's voice tightened and he looked Xia Yiyi up and down. His eyes seemed to be asking, "Is she hurt?"

But the words that came out were, "Is grandma okay?"

"I was a little scared. I took some heart medicine and now I'm sleeping."

Chu Shan breathed a sigh of relief, but his fists were clenched tightly, "Why didn't you call me? It's not like you don't know my number."

"If I call you, it will be even harder to explain! Your mother will only think that you ran away from home because of me and because I don't want to go home! She will hate me even more and threaten me to get me and grandma out of the capital."

"What? She threatened you?" Chu Shan said, and was about to rush out, but was stopped by Xia Yiyi.

"What are you going to do?"

"I'll go and talk to her and clarify things!"

"What do you want to make clear? Will you speak your mind and open your heart to her, telling her about your resentment towards her over the years? Do you think she is a selfish person who can abandon her child for herself? Will you say all this? Will you tell her that you left that home because you hated her?"

Xia Yiyi's words made Chu Shan stop in his tracks, his back stiffened as if he was petrified.

"If you don't say these things, you will go and quarrel with her again! And she will think that you are quarreling with her and disobeying her because of me! And she will blame all her resentment on me."

Xia Yiyi spoke, her tone softening.

"Chu Shan, go home! It's no use hiding!"

Chu Shan raised his head and said nonchalantly, "What does it have to do with you whether I go back or not? Aren't you meddling too much?"

"It really has nothing to do with me, but she thinks that I hid you and asked me for you! I said I didn't know, but she didn't believe me! If she can't find you, she will come to me again! Can you please not involve me in the feud between you mother and son?"

Chu Shan turned around and yelled at Xia Yiyi, "You really don't want to have anything to do with me? You really want to draw a line between you and me?"

"There was nothing between us in the first place! But your mother doubts us and thinks that your current rebellion is all because of me! She thinks that I am seducing you! I want to use you to marry into a wealthy family! No matter how I explain, she won't believe it! What do you want me to do? Isn't the stigma I bear enough?"

"You can bear the infamy of Gu Zhan, Luo Heng, and even Chu Lichuan's mistress, but why do you want to completely distance yourself from me? Do you hate me so much?" Chu Shan roared even louder, with veins bulging on his forehead.

Xia Yiyi was stunned and pursed her lips, "They... they are not real! I don't need to care!"

Chu Shan laughed, "So you and I are real? Or do you want it to be real?"

Xia Yiyi's cheeks suddenly felt hot, and she quickly turned aside to prevent Chu Shan from seeing her blushing cheeks.

"What's real or fake? Who wants to be real with you? We are just friends, don't imagine dirty things!"

Xia Yiyi leaned over to pick up the bottle on the ground, "Is this where people live? You are a young master from a famous family, but you don't care about cleanliness at all! Such a messy house, and the weather is hot and humid, don't you know that it is easy to breed bacteria? Do you want to get sick? You don't even know how to clean it up!"

Chu Shan laughed, "Just eat and wait for death. Live one day at a time. Why bother to clean up?"

"No matter how you live, even if you are a beggar, you must have a certain quality of life! No matter what environment you are in, you must love the present life!" Xia Yiyi picked up the trash on the ground and put it into the trash bag.

I swept the floor again, went to the bathroom to find a mop, wiped the floor clean, wiped the table, and put away the clutter on the sofa.

The room was finally tidy and looked like a home suitable for living.

Xia Yiyi picked up the garbage bag and said something to Chu Shan before leaving.

"Remember, no matter what kind of life you lead, you must not give up on yourself. You must live your life in a living way! Don't be like a woodworm!"
