Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

The grandmother had long since run out of things to say about this daughter.

How could she not care at all, Chu Chu was her own daughter?

How could I have given birth to such a selfish and heartless daughter?

Grandma didn't offer any opinion, leaving everything to Chuxia's discretion.

Gu Chuxia thought for a moment and decided to go see what kind of trouble they were up to: "I'll go over there!"

The person who had ignored the original owner for so many years suddenly changed their attitude; it seems suspicious.

"Grandma is also worried that you will be mistreated if you go."

"Don't worry, Grandma, I'll come back if I'm unhappy."

"Okay." Seeing that she said that, Grandma didn't say anything more.

Upon hearing this from within the space, Xiao Qi asked, "Host, are you really going?"

Do you know what her purpose is?

"I'll go check it out, host, wait for me."

"Go!"

When Grandma couldn't resist the drowsiness any longer, Gu Chuxia persuaded her to go back to her room to sleep, leaving her alone in the living room.

"Host, I'm back!"

"Have you found it?"

"We found out. Your brother's grades aren't good, and they want you to tutor him for free."

"So shameless? Aren't the conditions decent? Why didn't they hire a tutor? I really feel sorry for the original owner."

"They think you have good grades, host, so are you going?"

"We have to go. How can we make them give up if we don't go?"

"Host, your mother and stepfather's younger brother is very naughty. You must not agree to their request."

“I know,” Gu Chuxia nodded.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Gu Chuxia refused the things her grandmother asked her to carry and set off empty-handed.

After arriving at her destination by bus, she walked into the residential area and found the house where the family lived, following the address.

When she reached the door, Gu Chuxia raised her hand and knocked.

dong dong dong~

After a while, the door opened from the inside, and a woman who still retained her charm stood inside. When she saw Gu Chuxia, she smiled slightly.

"Early summer is here, come in!"

This was a rare attitude; before, when she saw the original owner, she always ignored her.

Gu Chuxia didn't go in yet: "Why did you call me here?"

"Is there anything wrong? Come in and have a seat." Seeing that Gu Chuxia didn't even greet her, a hint of impatience flashed in her eyes.

Xiao Qi and Gu Chuxia both saw it and simultaneously thought to themselves: This is a bad woman.

Thinking there was no rush, Gu Chuxia went inside and looked at the house's decor, which was quite nice.

She walked to the sofa and sat down. Li Zhen brought her a glass of water and placed it in front of her.

"In early summer, have some water first, I'll go to the kitchen to cook for you."

Gu Chuxia nodded casually, thinking to herself, "Xiao Qi, it's the first day of the Lunar New Year, and you haven't even prepared any food for me to entertain guests."

"Yeah, they said they prepared a gift for you, but it's probably just some freebie they got to get rid of you," Xiao Qi said indignantly.

"Once I turn eighteen, neither side will give me any money."

"The host doesn't need to rely on them, but Grandma might be a little worried about the host."

"I'm worried about my grandma, so I can find a part-time job so I'll have a reason to take out the money!"

"Host, I've made you a lot of money, spend it however you like!"

"Xiao Qi is amazing!"

"whee."

Gu Chuxia was chatting with Xiao Qi when someone came out of the room.

It was that woman's current husband. Seeing Gu Chuxia, he smiled and said, "Chuxia's here. How is your grandmother's health now?"

If you really care about Grandma, why don't you go and see her yourself? You're just being hypocritical.

However, considering that they at least still provided the original owner with living expenses and tuition fees, Gu Chuxia still gave them some face.

She didn't greet anyone, but nodded expressionlessly: "Grandma is doing well."

"That's good. Your mother and I are both busy and don't have time to visit you."

"Host, how could he say that with such a straight face?" Xiao Qi asked, speechless.

"He's shameless!" Gu Chuxia rolled her eyes at him in her mind before speaking.

"Since you're all so busy, what brings you here today?"

He didn't say it directly, but changed the subject: "I heard you're doing very well in your studies in early summer?"

Gu Chuxia nodded casually: "It's alright!"

"I heard from your mother that your grades have always been very good, while your younger brother is not as good as you. We are so worried about him that we have a headache."

Gu Chuxia looked at him without saying anything, and he felt a little awkward, so he continued, "We want you to teach your younger brother."

Gu Chuxia shook her head: "I'm about to take the college entrance exam, I don't have time."

"It doesn't take much time, just two hours every day on the weekend."

"I have a lot of homework and don't have time to come."

Seeing her resistance, he thought of having someone else say it: "I'll go help in the kitchen, and let your mom come and talk to you."

After saying that, he went into the kitchen, and a while later, Li Zhen came out.

"In early summer, your uncle just asked you to teach your younger brother, why didn't you want to?"

"I told you I don't have time. I'm about to take the college entrance exam, how can I have time to tutor someone?" Gu Chuxia said directly.

"It won't take much time. Aren't you willing to teach him your own brother?"

"Don't you know how to hire a tutor?"

“Well, aren’t you one of us? And you get good grades, why would you need a tutor?” Li Zhen said with a matter-of-fact expression.

"You should hire a tutor. I don't teach people!" Gu Chuxia firmly refused.

Li Zhen's expression turned ugly: "You really don't want to teach your younger brother?"

Gu Chuxia didn't care at all. She shook her head and said, "Yeah, I have to prepare for the college entrance exam, I don't have time!"

"We've raised you for so many years, and you can't even do this little thing?" Li Zhen said angrily.

"Raise me? If it weren't for the legal regulations, you wouldn't care about me, would you? Have you ever cared about me?" Gu Chuxia said sarcastically, recalling how sensible the original owner of the body had been since childhood.

Li Zhen was momentarily speechless: "Fine, if you don't want to teach me, then don't!"

After saying that, she went straight into the kitchen. Gu Chuxia sat for a while, then went over and opened the door.

They must have been talking about something, because when she came in, they both turned to look at her.

Gu Chuxia said, "I won't eat. I'll go back and have dinner with Grandma!"

After saying that, she went straight out the door, and neither of them stopped her.

"Host, do you want to go home?" Xiao Qi asked.

Gu Chuxia walked out of the apartment building and said upon hearing this, "I'm not going back. Otherwise, Grandma will think I haven't eaten and worry that we had a falling out!"

"So where are you going now?"

Gu Chuxia sat down on a chair in the community: "I'll rest for a while, then we'll find a place to eat later."

"Host, let me see if there are any restaurants open nearby."

"Okay, thank you, Xiaoqi."

"You're welcome, host. Don't be upset."

Gu Chuxia shook her head: "I'm not unhappy, it's just that I was thinking about my family of origin, but that's all in the past."

"Yes, there are so many worlds already, the host should let go of them sooner rather than later."

"Okay, I will."
