Desire possesses, unable to escape from the palm of my roommate's uncle

"I'm already 19 years old," Fu Miaoxi waved her hands repeatedly, "I'm not growing any more."

When they heard that the little girl in front of them was only 19 years old, Uncle Zhong and Aunt Xun secretly exchanged a look of shock, but looking at the little girl's small body, they felt that it was indeed true.

"What should I call you?" Fu Miaoxi pretended not to notice the exchange of glances between the two and asked in a tangled manner.

"Oh, you can just call me Aunt Xun. I'm in charge of the kitchen in this mansion."

"Hey!" Uncle Zhong hurriedly spoke up when he heard Aunt Xun misleading Fu Miaoxi and confusing the generations, but was silenced by Aunt Xun's glare.

"Aunt Xun, you just said that President Jiang said I will continue to live here in the future, right?"

"Yes, the young master's assistant said that you were drugged yesterday. It's better for you to live in the mansion from now on. It's safer."

"But... I'm still in school..."

"That's no problem. You're at school Monday and Friday, so you can come back during the holidays. Just treat this place as your home."

Her own home? Fu Miaoxi was a little surprised, but she had no home since her grandma passed away.

"Oh, enough talking, hurry up and eat, or it won't be fresh anymore."

"Ms. Fu, just take a look at what you eat at the bottom of the pot. I'll take care of the rest."

Fu Miaoxi pinched the chopsticks, thought about it, and decided to follow her own wishes and choose the spicy hot pot.

Aunt Xun pushed the remaining pot base back to the kitchen, and Uncle Zhong served Fu Miaoxi the dishes.

Halfway through the meal, someone came from the mansion. It was Assistant General Manager Li.

"Ms. Fu, you're awake." Assistant Li found Fu Miaoxi in the restaurant with ease. "Are you feeling unwell?"

Seeing someone she barely knew, Fu Miaoxi relaxed a little. "Much better. Please thank Mr. Jiang for saving me from such a critical situation yesterday."

The words were very sincere.

Assistant Li quickly replied, "It's not a problem, it's not a problem. Boss Jiang is relieved to see that you're alright, Miss Fu."

He explained his purpose: "This is a new phone for you. I don't know where you lost your previous one. The SIM card has been replaced."

Fu Miaoxi thanked him and took it, but after discovering that it was the latest model of iPhone, she felt like she was holding a hot potato in her hand.

The gap between Jiang Qingyan's status and hers was too big. He just took her home, had a meal with her, and bought her a mobile phone. These were things she would have to work hard for half a year without eating or drinking to enjoy.

Fu Miaoxi is self-aware. For a girl of her social status, if she wants to be Jiang Qingyan's canary, it will be Jiang Qingyan's fault.

As for her talent and beauty... Fu Miaoxi felt so unconfident for the first time in her life. She felt that these things should not be scarce for Jiang Qingyan.

Assistant Li noticed Fu Miaoxi's hesitation and tried to divert her attention bluntly: "I've asked the school for a day off for you, but tomorrow is the weekend, so you can rest more and take care of yourself."

Fu Miaoxi smiled, but reluctantly: "Where's Mr. Jiang? I want to talk to him about something."

This has always been Fu Miaoxi's style of doing things. When she finds that no matter how much she thinks, it will not help, she will choose to be directly frank and lay everything out in the open.

"Mr. Jiang has a meeting this afternoon and will return to the mansion after it's over. If you have something urgent to talk to him about, Miss Fu, Mr. Jiang's number is saved in your phone, so you can just contact him directly."

"I have something else to do, so I'll go back to the company first."

After dinner, at Uncle Zhong's suggestion, Fu Miaoxi went to the home theater on the first floor below and ordered a light-hearted and cheerful comedy to watch.

In front of him is a playback device comparable to that of a giant screen cinema, next to him is freshly squeezed coconut juice, and beneath him is an expensive fabric sofa.

Fu Miaoxi suddenly lived a life of luxury, but she felt no sense of reality and even wanted to escape.

But she owed Jiang Qingyan a huge favor, and if she just left like this, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.

While hesitating, Fu Miaoxi took out the mobile phone he had just received and wanted to contact Jiang Wanyi.

Fu Miaoxi thought in despair, if Jiang Wanyi could accept her current situation, then why couldn't she accept it!

The phone was obviously brand new, and many software were not installed. Fu Miaoxi configured them one by one according to her own usage habits, opened WeChat, and sent a message to Jiang Wanyi.

【Wanyi, are you busy? 】

[Xixi! Are you okay? Are you okay?]

[I'm fine, I'm fine. I'm... at your uncle's house now. He saved me yesterday.]

[I know. Are you available to answer the phone?]

Fu Miaoxi made a direct voice call and the other party answered the call quickly.

Jiang Wanyi told Fu Miaoxi what happened last night, including the rumors about her that were spread in the school, the police report that she had obviously been instructed to submit, and her request for help from her uncle.

After the two of them figured out the whole story, they were both silent.

"Xixi, what are you going to do now?"

Jiang Wanyi only knew that Fu Miaoxi's family was not well off, so she had to earn money to support herself at a very young age, but this was the first time she heard her complete life story.

Abandoned by his parents since childhood, his only family member, his grandmother, passed away early, and he relied on himself to walk from Jiangcheng to J City step by step.

Jiang Wanyi felt uncomfortable after hearing this. This turned out to be the price of growing up. All the shining points in Fu Miaoxi that attracted her were the result of Fu Miaoxi's hardships and trials.

Behind every time she does things with ease, she is actually burdened by the weight of life time and time again.

"I don't know..." Fu Miaoxi decided to confess: "Actually, I hid something from you, Wanyi."

"The day before yesterday, your uncle was inspecting the school when he saw me being threatened by my dad over the phone. He gave me a business card and told me to contact him if I had any problems."

"I didn't know what he wanted to do at the time, so I later asked you about his relationship history. In fact, I just wanted to know what kind of person he was."

Jiang Wanyi belatedly realized that these time points matched up.

"Actually, Xixi." Jiang Wanyi heard her friend's confusion and expressed her own opinion: "My uncle's private life is really clean, because he seems to have no interest in many things around him."

"It's not that I'm not interested, it's just..."

"Those things were simply too easy for him. Investing, making money, and managing relationships were all easy for him. So, as far as I can remember, he never showed any special regard for anyone of the opposite sex."

"Because of my uncle's childhood experiences, he doesn't take family affection very seriously."

"I want to say... I want to say, if, if you don't dislike your uncle so much and feel that you can't communicate with him at all, maybe you can try to follow your uncle's wishes?"

"I know you must be uncomfortable with what I said. And I also feel that I am useless. If I had enough say in the Jiang family, you wouldn't have to sacrifice yourself to please your uncle."

Fu Miaoxi turned pale after hearing what Jiang Wanyi said. She understood what Jiang Wanyi meant. She wanted to repay Jiang Qingyan, but besides her own body, what other capital did she have?

"Besides, Xixi, have you ever thought that your uncle might have cut off your escape route?"

"He's clearly suppressing the Gu family and even sending Gu Ting directly to jail. Without his protection, how would you have escaped the Gu family's retaliation?"
