Thinking of this, my mood that had been depressed for the entire day suddenly brightened. I knew that I had a chance to leave Instructor Liu.

suddenly, a rumbling sound came from my stomach. I suddenly remembered that I had yet to eat lunch. I immediately went to the ice box to find food.

Over the years I have been in Instructor Liu’s house, I have not only been studying. I have also learned some life techniques, such as washing clothes and cooking, Of course, these were all requested by Instructor Liu.
However, just as I opened the ice box, I heard the door open. I knew it was Instructor Liu.

Iwas so afraid that I wanted to return to my room immediately. In the past few days when Liu Tao was hospitalized, I had been avoiding Instructor Liu, trying to avoid meeting him at home and not give him a chance to be alone in case he had any perverted requests.
However, before I could do anything, Instructor Liu shouted, “Shen Ling, come over and help move the bags.”

“Alright,” I hurriedly agreed. At the same time, I was somewhat curious as to why we needed to move our bags. Was Liu Tao back? Wasn’t he still in the hospital just now?

When I reached the door, I realized that Instructor Pan was also there. There were even large and small bags on the ground. It seemed that she was going to move here to live here permanently.

“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and help out. I’m so tired.”

Seeing that I was stunned at the door, Instructor Pan urged me.

I did not hesitate and immediately helped move the things. Soon, the three of us finished unpacking Instructor Pan’s bags.

This time, I didn’t cook again because Instructor Liu said that he wanted to celebrate the first day of Instructor Pan’s arrival. He called the restaurant downstairs and ordered some food.

In the past, I didn’t have the right to eat such food. Every time they ordered food from the restaurant, Instructor Liu would let me eat the leftovers from the day before.

This time, in order to show his magnanimity and also to gain Instructor Pan’s favor, Instructor Liu let me eat with them. This was also the first time I had eaten something so delicious.

Just as I was eating with interest, Instructor Pan asked me about my middle school examination.

I replied disappointedly and told Instructor Pan that I did not qualify.

Instructor Pan looked at me as if she expected better from me and said, “Shen Ling, why didn’t you work harder? All you do is hang out with some shady hoodlums. If you can’t even get into a high school, won’t you be letting down Instructor Liu for treating you well? Think about your family background.
Should you even be thinking about those useless things?”

Hearing this, I wanted to refute, but I didn’t. I only nodded and promised her that I would work hard in high school.

Seeing that my attitude was so good, Instructor Pan stopped lecturing me. Instead, she began to instruct me on how to study in high school. She even advised me to cut off all ties with those hoodlums. I nodded and agreed to everything she said.
Instructor Pan actually had a good personality. However, she trusted the rumors and gossip of her classmates a little too much. She would always stand on the side of the so-called justice and scold others for the sake of justice.

On the other hand, Instructor Liu’s expression was not good. This was because while others did not know, he knew that the indecent hoodlum Instructor Pan was talking about was his son.

However, he did not say anything, He could only endure his displeasure and listen to Instructor Pan give me advice.

Finally, after eating, I cleaned up the trash and returned to my room. Of course, Instructor Liu and Instructor Pan had already gone to Instructor Liu’s room when I finished eating.

The next morning, Instructor Liu and Instructor Pan went to work.

Since I was on break, I had nothing to do at home. | ate and slept for a while before going out.

I searched my memories for the residential area where my mother lived.

Fortunately, the aunt who came to pick me up at that time had once muttered the name of the residential area my mother lived in.

I kept that information in the back of my head until now. I also had some pocket money that I saved up from before the middle school examination. Thus, I had enough money to take a taxi back and forth.

‘When I arrived at the tattered residential building in my memories, I went upstairs.

Then, I arrived at the door I had visited in the past before taking a deep breath and knocking on the door.

The door opened, but it was not my mother or the aunt who had picked me up. Instead, it was an unfamiliar middle-aged woman.

“Who are you looking for?!” The woman seemed to be in a bad mood as she frowned and asked me impatiently.

“Hello, is this Wu Xiumei’s house?” I asked nervously.

“Wu Xiumei? Are you talking about that prostitute? She moved away a long time ago after welcoming guests all day long. She never rests and would even scream loudly. She had long been reported to have escaped. Before leaving, she still owed me two months’ worth of house money.”
It turned out that this person was the landlady.

“Do you know where she is now? I need to talk to her about something,” I asked unwillingly.

“already told you that she ran away secretly. She even owes me money. Do you think I would know? I’m really unlucky to have rented the house to her. When the person who came to rent my house heard about this, she decided that she didn’t want to rent it anymore. Eh? No, little girl, who are you to
her?” The rented woman complained at first before suddenly asking me this as if she had thought of something.

“Tm her distant cousin, I haven’t heard from her in a long time. I came to ask around. Thank you, I’m leaving,” I don’t dare to tell the truth, because I was afraid this landlord would make me repay my mother’s debt.

My heart was somewhat heavy because my mother had left without saying a word. I also knew that she didn’t have to tell me where she had gone. After all, she had already sold me to Instructor Liu.

However, I couldn’t help but be a little sad. I was her biological daughter. How could he treat me like I was invisible? Was I really a burden that she couldn’t get rid of in her eyes?

I kept thinking as I walked. I didn’t want to go home so early, so I walked home.

After arriving home, I laid in bed helplessly. I originally wanted to find my mother and ask her to help me escape from Instructor Liu’s control, but I didn’t expect to be so unlucky. I didn’t even know where she was staying.

I didn’t know how much longer the peace with Instructor Liu would last. I was afraid that Instructor Liu would suddenly come to me with an excessive request.

Fortunately, in the next few days, Instructor Liu and Instructor Pan stuck together every day and Instructor Liu rarely had the time to care about me. Other than being occasionally mocked by Instructor Liu, everything was relatively calm.

However, the two of them never hid from me when they did that kind of thing and I often saw them. Instructor Pan was also very dissatisfied about this, but Instructor Liu used the excuse that I was a child and did not know anything as an excuse to keep Instructor Pan from complaining.
Instructor Pan was also becoming more and more annoyed with me. I kept feeling that she was like the step-mother of a television drama and only wanted to kick me out of the house.

However, she only showed these feelings secretly. After all, it was a different matter altogether for one to display those feelings openly.
