"I hate you!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Bozhou only paused slightly in his tracks.

“I know.” His expression didn’t even change. “But that doesn’t change anything.”

He closed the door behind him.

Song Xun was waiting outside the door for the BOSS to come out when he overheard the conversation between the father and son.

Song Xun felt a pang of pity, sighed softly, and whispered, "Boss, the young master is still young..."

"To be able to slip away without being noticed by so many people, it must have been organized and planned." Lu Bozhou gently tugged at the corner of his mouth. "At least I can't treat him like a clueless child."

Song Xun asked, "Then, should we really find a suitable nanny for the young master?"

The young master is precocious and sensible, and has no problem taking care of himself. However, he is introverted and withdrawn, and does not like living under the same roof as strangers.

In addition, to avoid any trouble from the Lu family, the family has never hired a live-in nanny.

But the chef will deliver the prepared dishes on time every day, the cleaning staff will come to clean regularly, and bodyguards will patrol the area.

It's always been like this; I never expected the boss to suddenly change his mind.

"Okay, keep an eye on this matter, and don't let any shady characters take advantage of the situation."

"Don't worry, Boss."

……

If Lanshan Mansion is the most luxurious residential area within the most luxurious residential area in Luocheng...

That Yalai Courtyard is the poorest of the poor.

These two resettlement housing buildings, in particular, are mostly rented out, and the residents are a mixed bag.

The one-bedroom apartment that Jiang Mian rented was one of two apartments that the landlord had converted from a three-bedroom apartment.

The corridor outside the door was piled with shoe cabinets, miscellaneous items, and garbage from each household.

The landlord even turned the house at the end of the corridor into a mahjong parlor, which is noisy day and night.

The living environment is not good, but the rent is cheap and the location is not too bad.

Jiang Mian went to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities. Just as she returned, her landlady, Zhao He, arrived, looking rather unhappy.

"Sister Zhao, is there...something wrong?"

“Xiao Jiang, you weren’t here yesterday. Your dad came here and banged on the door. After that, he went to my mahjong parlor and played a few rounds. He lost and wouldn’t pay up. I had to pay for it for him.”

"Two hundred yuan, plus a pack of cigarettes for thirty yuan. Are you going to give it to me now, or add it to this month's rent?"

Jiang Mian was a little confused, "My dad?"

"Yes, he said his name is Jiang Da. He's your dad, right?"

Jiang Mian instantly realized that Jiang Mian was dead! Her current father was not Jiang Shan, but Jiang Da!

"Excuse me! I'll pay you right now." Jiang Mian followed Zhao He to the mahjong parlor at the end of the corridor to scan the code and pay.

A refined young man sat behind the counter; he was the landlord's son. He smiled gently at Jiang Mian as she entered.

Jiang Mian quickly scanned the code and paid.

After returning home and sorting through the original owner's family background and life, Jiang Mian was completely clueless!

A gambling father, a cowardly mother, an immature younger brother, and a weary woman.

Jiang Da, the father, was a gambling addict, but the mother was weak and had outdated ideas, so she never thought of leaving him.

Jiang Mian finally made it to university in Luocheng after a long and arduous journey. She worked part-time until the first semester of her junior year and never went back home, only thinking about getting away from that family.

Unable to resist his mother's persistent pleas, he went back home for the holiday, intending to stay only a few days to celebrate the New Year.

As a result, Jiang Da stole his saved tuition and living expenses and gambled them away.

In response to Jiang Mian's shocked question, Jiang Da gave her a severe beating.

"You're going to get married anyway! What's the point of studying so much? It's a waste of money! You should use that money to support your parents!"

"I bet you've read too many books, that's why you're so full of high-sounding道理 (moral principles)! How dare you yell at me?! So what if I spend your money?! So what if I spend your money?!"

"You're my child! I gave you life! What's wrong with me spending your money?! That's what you're supposed to do to me! If I'd known you'd be so rebellious, I should have drowned you in a chamber pot back then!"

Jiang Mian recalled these memories of the original owner, and every single one of them was suffocating.

She had no choice but to suspend her studies and work day and night to save up for tuition and living expenses.

If that weren't the case, it would have been impossible for him to die suddenly from overwork in this rented room.

This life is incredibly difficult, and Jiang Mian realized that she couldn't afford to waste a single moment.

This sense of crisis prompted Jiang Mian to quickly open her phone and check her account to see how much money she had left...

It would have been better if we hadn't investigated; once we did, my heart sank!

A little over 10,000 yuan in savings and a second-hand electric scooter.

Given the high cost of living in Los Angeles, it's quite an achievement to have saved up this much during this period.

Jiang Mian thought that she would have to figure out how to make money next.

If only I could bring my savings from my past life with me...

Jiang Mian is currently worried about money and making a living.

An unusual sound came from the doorway.

Jiang Mian was taken aback. "Why is there a sound like keys?"

That was clearly the sound of a key being inserted into her lock and the door opening!

Jiang Mian walked towards the door with suspicion.

The next second! The door suddenly opened!

An uninvited guest barged into her home!

He had a fleshy face and greasy eyes, and he looked Jiang Mian up and down.

Jiang Mian looked at him with terror in her eyes; this was a scene that only appeared in the nightmares of a woman living alone.

A strange man actually used her house key to open the door and come in!?

"Who are you!?"

Jiang Mian's voice trembled, and her breathing became unsteady due to fear.

"How...how did you get my house key?! If you don't leave now, I'm calling the police!"

The man was burly, like a mountain of flesh, and he came forward.

His breath reeked of alcohol, and his voice carried a malicious, wicked laugh.

"What else could it be? Of course... hiccup... of course it was your dad who gave it to me! He... he was playing cards and drinking with me, and he lost a lot."

"He said...that there was a college student's daughter who was young and beautiful and of marriageable age, so he gave me the key and asked me to come and meet you...to take a look."

As he spoke, he flashed the key in his hand.

Then he took two steps forward and reached out to grab Jiang Mian.

"Ah!" Jiang Mian exclaimed in surprise.

She was absolutely furious. Was Jiang Da out of his mind?!

She lost money gambling and then gave her daughter's house key to a strange man. What kind of behavior is this?! What does it mean?!

Pimping?!

Jiang Mian dodged the man's clutches and ran towards the door while shouting for help.

"Help! Help!"

As soon as the door opened, a tall, slender figure flashed into the doorway.

Extremely fast! In one swift motion, he pulled Jiang Mian behind him!

"Get out of the way!" His voice carried a youthful coldness and suppressed anger.

The next second, he pounced on him and started wrestling with the drunkard.

The incident was so sudden that Jiang Mian didn't immediately recognize who it was.

Until the boy's cool voice called out to her, "Sis! Call the police!" [Qiqi would like to ask for some must-read votes and add this to your favorites, thank you darlings, muah!]
