So satisfying! The Great Demon King wiped out everyone equally!

Zhou Yulan hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "Grandma, Dad, Mom, I want to go to my room to get something to give to my friends in the village, is that alright?"

"Of course," Cang Lan nodded with a smile.

So, in front of everyone, Zhou Yulan walked towards the smallest and most dilapidated house in the courtyard.

Zhou Yulan quickly packed some of her cherished belongings in the room before rushing out to say goodbye to her only friend.

Cang Lan, Shen Yue, and Zhou Qiming followed her into the house.

As soon as you step inside, a pungent, damp, and putrid odor hits you.

The room was dark and cramped, with only a hard bed covered by a tattered and thin sheet and a patched and dirty quilt. In the corner, there were also some messy and dilapidated items piled up. It was not hard to imagine the harsh environment in which Zhou Yulan had survived for the past fifteen years.

Shen Yue's eyes instantly reddened, and tears welled up in her eyes. Her voice trembled as she said, "How much suffering has my Lanlan endured? How can anyone live in a place like this?"

Cang Lan patted Shen Yue's shoulder and gently comforted her, "Don't cry. From now on, Yu Lan will come back with us. Her wonderful life is just beginning. She is a child of our Zhou family, so her character will naturally not be bad."

Surrounded by bodyguards, Cang Lan, Zhou Yulan, and Zhou Qiming slowly walked towards the courtyard gate. By this time, Wang Shaodong and Chen Lihua had already disappeared.

Just as I reached the courtyard gate, I heard a girl's voice: "Zhao Di, are you really leaving?" There was a hint of panic and reluctance in her voice.

Zhou Yulan immediately corrected her, "Miaomiao, I've already told you, I'm not Wang Zhaodi now, my name is Zhou Yulan, and this isn't my home."

Her eyes were sincere and firm. She sincerely hoped that this friend who had accompanied her through difficult times would remember her new name and new identity.

Wang Miaomiao pursed her lips, a hint of cunning flashing in her eyes, and said, "I know, you'll be a city person from now on, so you won't look down on me, your friend from the village, will you?" Her tone carried a hint of testing and deliberate taunting.

Zhou Yulan quickly waved her hand and said anxiously, "Of course not, wait for me a moment." After saying that, she ran quickly to Cang Lan's side and asked softly, "Grandma, can you give Miao Miao your phone number?"

Cang Lan calmly gestured to the bodyguard, who immediately handed her a business card.

Zhou Yulan took the business card, turned around and ran back to Miaomiao, stuffed the card into her hand, and said with a smile, "Miaomiao, if you want to contact me in the future, just call this number." Then, she waved to Miaomiao, turned around and got into the car.

Wang Miaomiao stood there, looking at the two luxury cars and their obviously expensive clothes, a hint of jealousy gradually appearing in her eyes.

Why was Wang Zhaodi able to suddenly become a city dweller, have wealthy parents and a doting grandmother, and live a good life?

But she has to continue suffering in this poor village, unable to attend school, and will be married off when she reaches marriageable age, trapped in this rural area for the rest of her life...

Just then, Zhou Manyun suddenly rushed out, her hair disheveled, her eyes filled with despair and resentment.

She ran to the car without thinking, knelt down with a thud, gripped the bumper tightly, and burst into tears: "Mom and Dad, do you really not want Manjun anymore? I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. I don't want to stay here. Please take me with you!"

Her body trembled violently, and her voice became hoarse from crying. Her pitiful appearance was heartbreaking to see.

Shen Yue and Zhou Qiming felt a pang of sadness seeing her like this. Just this morning, Zhou Manyun had been nestled in Shen Yue's arms, affectionately calling her "Mom," but now, only a few hours later, everything had changed.

Shen Yue's eyes reddened, and her voice choked as she said to her mother-in-law, "Mom, our Zhou family isn't short of money, so let's take Manyun away. If she goes back to that family, she definitely won't be treated well."

Zhou Qiming chimed in, "Manjun is only fifteen. We'll raise her until she's eighteen, and then let her start her own life when she's an adult. After all, the feelings we've shared over the years aren't fake. This is the best we can do for the Zhou family."

After hearing this, Cang Lan said calmly, "Since you want to raise her, then you can use your money to raise her. But let me make this clear from the start: she is not allowed to use the Zhou family name to flaunt herself outside. From now on, I will transfer her household registration out of the Zhou family and make her change her surname to Wang, since her biological parents' surname is Wang."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Manyun's face turned deathly pale. She could imagine that if the news that she wasn't a young lady of the Zhou family spread at school, she would be subjected to endless ridicule.

In an instant, Zhou Manyun raised her eyes, concealing the hatred she felt for Canglan.

So what? As long as she can stay in City A and stay with the Zhou family, she doesn't believe her parents can truly not love her. After all, this Zhou Yulan isn't even as good as one of her fingers.

As for that old woman Zhou Hanyi, she didn't believe that she could protect Zhou Yulan, who was not respectable, for the rest of her life!

Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and said in a low voice, "I'm willing. I wasn't born with the surname Zhou, and I shouldn't have taken Yu Lan's surname. I'll be content if you can raise me until I'm eighteen."

Cang Lan glanced at Zhou Yulan and gently patted her small hand, as if to comfort her.

Then he said to Zhou Manyun, "Alright, our Zhou family won't give you a room. From now on, you'll work as a servant in the Zhou family's old house and live in the servants' quarters."

Upon hearing this, a hint of resentment and humiliation flashed in Zhou Manyun's eyes, but she quickly concealed these emotions and hurriedly said, "I'm willing."

Seeing this, Zhou Qiming said softly, "Alright, get in the car!"

Cang Lan gave her bodyguard a wink, and the bodyguard understood, leading Zhou Manyun to another car. Then, Cang Lan and her family got into the car, and the door slowly closed.

The car slowly drove away, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Wang Miaomiao remained standing there, her eyes filled with complex emotions, staring at the direction the car had gone for a long time until the car disappeared completely at the end of the road before she came back to her senses.

"Wang Miaomiao, what are you looking at!" A burly, middle-aged woman with a fierce face rushed over aggressively, grabbed Wang Miaomiao's ear, and twisted it hard.

"Ouch! It hurts!" Wang Miaomiao cried out in pain, her body involuntarily tilting in the direction of her ear.

"What are you looking at? You still haven't washed your clothes! All you do is slack off!"
