“Younger Sis, I’m going to start work as the Vice President of the company tomorrow. If there’s anything I’ve done wrong, I hope you can forgive me.”

Quan Yi’s face still had tears that hadn’t been wiped away. She held Quan Meng with both hands and smiled pretentiously, making Quan Meng feel nauseated.

Quan Meng joined the company after completing her postgraduate studies. She started from the bottommost level and worked her way up to the department manager level little by little. She was surprised to find out that Quan Yi had become the vice president of the company right away after going around the world for a holiday and taking two years off.

“I wouldn’t dare. I hope that you won’t fire me because you find me an eyesore. I still have to make a living,” Quan Meng replied to her in a sarcastic tone.

Quan Yi’s expression changed immediately as if she didn’t know how to reply.

“As expected, you’re acerbic and unkind. Totally unpresentable to the public!” Yan Min gave a scornful snort.

Quan Meng no longer paid attention to the mother and daughter and turned to go upstairs.

Her room had probably not been cleaned since she moved out. Fortunately, Quan Yi was still rich and didn’t give a damn about the old and tattered belongings left behind. In addition, she had already taken many things with her when she moved out previously, so this time she only packed a small box of things.

When Quan Meng went downstairs, the mother and daughter were no longer in the living room. They were probably discussing something in the study because they were afraid that she would eavesdrop. Quan Meng wasn’t interested either, because she was confident that she was better than Quan Yi. If Quan Yi really made things difficult for her, she could just resign and leave.

She didn’t have much to miss with regard to her family. Her father didn’t love her, her mother didn’t love her, and her sister simply snatched her boyfriend. This time, when she came back to pack her things, no one cared what she was going to do. Fortunately, she transferred her registered residence out of the family when she came of age. Otherwise, her marriage would be a troublesome matter.

Quan Meng took a taxi and left the Quan family’s residence. She returned to her very own small apartment.

She had bought this apartment with the money she had saved up since she was young and her salary from the past few years. Although her parents didn’t like her, they still ranked among the top-tier families. They wouldn’t treat her badly in terms of financial support, not to mention that such a small sum of money was considered small change in their eyes.

The moment Quan Meng got out of the taxi, she saw Liang Ye standing at the entrance. The cigarette butts by his feet proved that he had been standing there for a long time.

As soon as he saw Quan Meng, he immediately came up to her.

“Mengmeng, I…”

“I’m very busy right now, I don’t have time to talk nonsense with you.” Quan Meng immediately cut him off. After all, there was still a handsome guy waiting to move in with her.

However, Liang Ye moved to block Quan Meng’s path. “Mengmeng, I’m sorry. What happened between Quan Yi and me is not what you think it is!”

Looking at Liang Ye’s bloodshot eyes and the beard stubble on his chin, Quan Meng didn’t feel any deep love at all. She only felt a sense of disgust.

“What did I think happened?” Quan Meng laughed contemptuously. “Are you going to get engaged to her? Did you get together with Quan Yi while still pretending to be my boyfriend? Did you two sleep together behind my back?”

Liang Ye had no words to answer her. “But I don’t love her. I only love you. Marrying her is only a strategic consideration of pros and cons!”

Quan Meng slapped Liang Ye with all her might. “I thought you were just a scumbag, but I didn’t expect you to be so irresponsible. Don’t harass me anymore, or I’ll call the police!”

While Liang Ye was still in a daze, Quan Meng pushed him aside and went upstairs.

By the time Quan Meng finished packing up and went downstairs, Liang Ye was no longer there. Even the cigarette butts he had just smoked had disappeared. She heaved a sigh of relief. Liang Ye’s absence saved her a lot of time from getting entangled with him.

Quan Meng did not pack many belongings. She only brought some clothes and daily necessities. The rest she could buy from Huo Ling’s place.

She took a taxi to the address that Huo Ling had given her. The entire apartment block gave off a low-key air.

Quan Meng found the apartment unit. After entering the password to open the door, she realized that she had been too naive.

The small and narrow entrance led directly to the bedroom. After turning on the lights, she could feel how small the entire apartment was.

Quan Meng stood at the door in a daze, not daring to enter. This apartment had two units per floor, and the capacity of the elevator was not small. However, it seemed that no one was living next door, and it was not even renovated.

Was this really Huo Ling’s home? It felt even smaller than the house she bought herself. As she thought about this, Quan Meng took out her phone and called Shen Xin.

“What’s wrong, Mengmeng?” Shen Xin seemed to be in a good mood and was even humming a tune.

“Are you sure that the person we met yesterday was Liang Ye’s uncle?” Quan Meng gritted her teeth and asked. She recalled Huo Ling riding the bike-sharing bicycle this morning and then looked at this small and narrow apartment. She really couldn’t believe that this was the residence of a rich person.

“I’m sure! Definitely, absolutely sure!” Shen Xin was extremely certain. “How was it? Your first day of marriage?” Shen Xin seemed to be taunting her deliberately.

“Nothing much happened. I’m still moving house. I’ll talk to you later.” Quan Meng didn’t wait for Shen Xin’s reply and ended the phone call. She still had to conserve her energy to move her stuff.

Fortunately, she didn’t have many belongings, so she brought everything up within a short time.
