Rebirth: A Super Foodie and Her Cat Demon Husband

Chapter 309 Running Away from Home

"Do I agree with this? I have made it clear before, and you also said that you would not force me, but I don't know, and I don't understand why just attending a banquet has not caused earth-shaking changes in you. It's good that you don't force us. We agreed that we will always be your children. But what are you doing now? I have already said that if I go back, I will most likely die. Why don't you believe it?" Liu Yuanyuan finally roared angrily, unable to bear it anymore.

As soon as Liu Yuanyuan finished yelling, she heard a slapping sound and felt a burning pain on her cheek. She covered her face with her hands in surprise and looked at her father who had slapped her.

Father Liu's hands trembled, but he still frowned and said seriously, "How do you talk to your mother? Is there anything you can't talk about nicely?"

Mother Liu was holding Father Liu's hand and said to Liu Yuanyuan in a trembling voice, "Yuanyuan, can you tell me why you felt that if you returned to the Lu family, it would cost you and Meichen your lives?"

"It's not that simple. The Lu family still hasn't figured out who swapped us and why. If it was really the Lu family's eldest aunt, she's still in the Lu family. She's already tried to sow discord between me and the Lu family twice today."

I haven't officially acknowledged my ancestral roots yet. Once I do, he'll be jumping around, stirring up trouble here and there, and then he'll find fault with you. Do you think Lu Meichen and I will have an easy life? Over time, will they trust me or that aunt?

"Mom and Dad, do you know what? The last straw that can break someone's back can be just a simple sentence. Okay, that's all I'll say, because I know no matter how much I argue, you won't believe me. I'll move out for a while. Just calm down and think about it." With that, Liu Yuanyuan walked into her bedroom without looking back and soon came out carrying two large bags. Dai Tong and Bitumen followed behind her. Father and Mother Liu didn't try to stop her from leaving.

After they heard Liu Yuanyuan's footsteps fade away, Mother Liu turned around, looking at Father Liu with red eyes, and asked in confusion, "Yuanyuan is gone now. Can you tell me why you pushed her like this? And you didn't even stop him from leaving her. And I think what Yuanyuan said is true. Even if it's not true, maybe his dream has some predictive power."

Father Liu lowered his eyelids and said expressionlessly, "It's just a dream. Why think so much about it? We've lived for almost 40 years and have had so many dreams, but which one has come true?"

Mother Liu was silent for a moment, then sighed. "Now that the child is gone, is there anything you can't tell me? And I understand you're doing this for Yuanyuan's own good. But if you keep it hidden, everyone will feel guilty, and misunderstandings will arise, won't they?"

Father Liu sighed and told Mr. Tang and Mr. Lu what he had heard and seen that afternoon, and he also emphasized the eldest aunt of the Lu family.

Finally, Liu's father said, "We don't care about money. After all, the wages we earn are enough for us to eat and drink. We don't have to worry about food and clothing. We don't have any big ambitions. Unlike Yuanyuan, he is destined to be a child of the Lu family. But if he doesn't register as a Lu family hukou and doesn't change his surname to Lu, then he won't get a penny.

Just like Yuanyuan's aunt said, although his words are provocative, they are also realistic. So I can't help but consider Yuanyuan a little. As for Meichen, I know that asking him to change back to our surname would be unfair to him. But I believe that with the Lu family's love for Meichen, they will not treat him unfairly.

But Yuanyuan is right. Forcing Meichen to change her surname back to ours does seem like an attempt to show off our integrity. I don't want to be known as a poor relative or a money-grubber.

Mother Liu fell silent after hearing what Father Liu said. Finally, she sighed deeply, "You can't let him go out in such cold weather in the middle of the night with his suitcase. Where can he stay during the New Year?"

Speaking of this, Father Liu became a little angry and said in a somewhat unpleasant tone: "Although our family is not rich, we have always spoiled Yuanyuan, so this little girl is really ungrateful. Does she think she can threaten us by running away from home? Let her know how dangerous the world is."

Mother Liu said somewhat unhappily, "He is a child after all. He is 16 and he goes out late at night. What if something goes wrong? I didn't expect you to think so. You even stopped me from speaking just now." After that, she went into the house to put on her clothes and prepared to chase Liu Yuanyuan.

Unexpectedly, just as he entered the house, put on his clothes, and picked up his handbag, his phone vibrated twice. He picked it up and saw that it was a message from Liu Yuanyuan. It said: "I took Meichen to live with Tang's family."

At this moment, on the main road, Dai Tong stood on Ye Qing's back, somewhat helplessly persuading him, "Why did you get so angry with your uncle and aunt? They're doing this for you, and I can more or less guess what your uncle and aunt are thinking. They're worried that if you don't change your surname to Lu and register as a Lu family hukou, you won't get a share of the Lu family's property. They're also considering your future."

Liu Yuanyuan texted, "I know. Parents love their children and plan for them. But I feel so sad. For this, they're forcing me to leave them, not even caring whether I live or die."

They didn't know what to say at the same time. Without a father, Lijiang and his mother might not believe these things. They considered them superstitions. But they were the two involved, and many things couldn't be explained by science. So he changed the subject and said, "It's so late, where are you and Lu Meichen planning to stay? It's Chinese New Year, and all the hotels and restaurants are closed. Even the school dormitories are closed."

Hearing this question, Liu Yuanyuan grinned, turned her head and said, "I know your parents bought you a separate apartment, but you hardly live there. So, let Meichen and I keep it for free."

Dai Tong was speechless for a moment: "So you have your sights set on me. But it's just as you said. I almost never live in that house. I never even went to see it when I came back this time. It might be too dirty to live in."

"It's okay, we'll just make do with it tonight. We won't have anything to do tomorrow anyway. We'll just stay there and clean up."

"If you really don't plan to return to your roots, then our plan won't work, right?"
