I took over after the heroine of the abusive novel ran away

Xu Qingwan had met Lu Mingfu before, and she knew that Lu Mingfu was a good friend of her father.

With nowhere else to go, she followed Lu Mingfu to the Lu family.

The Lu family took her in and gave her shelter, but after experiencing such a tragic thing, Xu Qingwan could no longer return to the cheerful and lively little girl she used to be.

She became sensitive, inferior, insecure, and even self-loathing.

Her grandmother's words of misfortune at the funeral were like a sharp knife piercing her heart, leaving a wound that would never heal and would continue to bleed.

Yes! She was a jinx. She was the one who killed her parents. If it wasn't for her birthday, her parents wouldn't have taken her on a trip that day. Then the car accident wouldn't have happened, and they wouldn't have died.

This incident became a knot in Xu Qingwan's heart that she could never untie for the rest of her life.

This guilt troubled and tortured her, making her weak, timid and unable to say no to others.

Lu Mingfu adopted her and Zhang Qiuling was very nice to her, but for Xu Qingwan, she was still living under someone else's roof.

She could never get over the sudden change that happened to her parents. The sudden blow, her sensitivity, and her inferiority complex made her live cautiously in the Lu family. She was submissive and patient, obedient and sensible, and she never refused anyone.

……

Lu Yunting returned to his room and slammed the door. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, feeling that he had lost all his face.

At this moment, the phone suddenly rang. Lu Yunting picked up the phone and saw that it was He Xiaosu calling.

"Hey, what's the matter?" Lu Yunting asked unhappily.

"Brother Ting, how are you? Are you okay?" He Xiaosu asked tentatively on the other end of the phone.

Thinking that He Xiaosu and Shen Wei had seen him in such an embarrassing state, Lu Yunting was so angry that his teeth were chattering.

"What? I'm fine. I'm warning you, if you dare to say anything outside, I'll beat you to death."

"I know, I know, Brother Ting, I will pretend that I didn't see Xu Qingwan carrying you away with one hand. Yes, I didn't see anything. You left with Xu Qingwan on your own." He Xiaosu suppressed his smile and said seriously.

Lu Yunting was instantly furious, "He Xiaosu...just wait for me, I'll make you suffer tomorrow."

After saying that, Lu Yunting hung up the phone and threw the phone heavily onto the bed.

Feeling unsatisfied, Lu Yunting scratched his hair in anger and kicked the bed hard.

"Xu Qingwan, just wait. You made me lose face like that. I...I...humph...just wait."

At half past five, Xu Qingwan prepared to go downstairs.

Xu Qingwan's room is directly opposite Lu Yunting's room, separated by a corridor.

When she opened the door, Lu Yunting happened to open the door as well, and their eyes met.

Lu Yunting was stunned for a moment, then he didn't know what he was thinking about. He pursed his lips and looked at Xu Qingwan with a mocking expression.

"Tsk, you dressed up so beautifully on purpose. You knew my uncle was coming back, so you couldn't wait to show your courtesy. What a pity! My uncle doesn't like you."

Xu Qingwan looked at the school uniform on Lu Yunting. She just changed her school uniform. What did she mean by dressing up on purpose? Lu Yunting was clearly looking for trouble.

She didn't bother to pay attention to him, didn't even glance at him, just closed the door and walked towards the stairs.

Lu Yunting was immediately furious. What did that mean? She didn't take him seriously.

He caught up with Xu Qingwan in a few steps, still talking non-stop.

"Xu Qingwan, what do you mean? I'm talking to you. Are you deaf? Before my uncle came back, who was the one who followed me around and showed me kindness? As soon as he heard that my uncle was back, he turned his face away and refused to recognize me. Xu Qingwan, you are really a snob."

"Childish!" Xu Qingwan rolled her eyes and commented.

"What did you say?" Lu Yunting froze, took a few quick steps with his long legs and stood in front of Xu Qingwan.

"I said you are a childish ghost!" Xu Qingwan stopped and stared into Lu Yunting's eyes and spoke word by word.

"Who are you calling childish?" Lu Yunting narrowed his eyes, anger boiling in them.

He hates it most when people call him childish.

Because that's what that annoying guy Lu Mingjia said about him.

Xu Qingwan: "I think you need to go to the hospital to check your ears. You are hard of hearing at such a young age. I said you are childish, a childish ghost. Lu Yunting is a childish ghost. Did you hear that clearly?"

"Xu Qingwan!" Lu Yunting clenched his fists in anger and glared at her. If someone else had angered him like this, he would have punched them.

If not... if not because she was a girl, he... he would definitely beat her up.

Xu Qingwan touched her ears and sneered, "No need to be so loud. I'm not like someone else. I'm not deaf and can hear you."

Seeing that Lu Yunting was so angry that he was like a puffer fish, with no place to vent his anger, Xu Qingwan walked past him with satisfaction and went downstairs.

Tsk, or do you say that I am not a childish ghost? I am obviously a childish ghost who cares about face, is selfish, impulsive and stupid. I still want to be venomous to her, let's see who can be more venomous than whom.

Xu Qingwan was fragile because of family changes, so she was hurt by his words, but she would not.

If Xu Qingwan was a dodder in the past, then she is a cactus covered with thorns.

Let’s see who can stab who better!

"Qingwan!"

When Xu Qingwan went downstairs, Lu Mingjia had already arrived. When he saw Xu Qingwan coming down, he immediately showed a gentle smile.

"Uncle." Xu Qingwan nodded towards Lu Mingjia and greeted him gracefully.

Although Lu Mingjia is only one year older than Xu Qingwan, based on seniority, Xu Qingwan and Lu Yunting both call him uncle.

Lu Mingjia looked at Lu Yunting who was following Xu Qingwan down, and raised his eyebrows. "Yunting!"

"Uncle."

Lu Yunting's face darkened as he shouted reluctantly.

Lu Mingjia didn't care about Lu Yunting's perfunctory attitude. In his eyes, Lu Yunting was just an awkward and childish boy.

Lu Yunting and Xu Qingwan are both in their second year of high school, but Lu Mingjia is already in college. He skipped a grade in high school and was admitted to University A.

This time I came back because it was summer vacation and the university had an earlier vacation than them.

Lu Mingjia has a gentle personality. Although they haven't seen each other for more than half a year, there is no strangeness between them. He habitually asked about Xu Qingwan's life in school and asked about her recent studies.

"Qingwan, you will be a senior in the second half of the year. Your grades have always been stable. If you keep them up, you will have no problem getting into University A."

Xu Qingwan smiled and said, "Yes, I will."

"Humph~"

Seeing Xu Qingwan and Lu Mingjia chatting happily, Lu Yunting became more and more annoyed and snorted heavily.

Damn Xu Qingwan, she only knows how to curry favor with Lu Mingjia. What's so good about Lu Mingjia? Isn't it just that his grades are better? What's so great about that?

Lu Mingjia knew Lu Yunting's character and knew that he was being weird again, so she ignored him.

Lu Yunting has always been awkward. Sometimes the more you pay attention to him, the angrier he gets. Lu Mingjia, who has never experienced a rebellious period, doesn't understand why he is awkward.

Xu Qingwan ignored him. You can’t say that Lu Yunting is a bad person, but he is like a child who will never grow up. He is self-centered and will never be considerate of others.
