Chapter 9: Chapter 8 Cutting Off Relations Chapter 9: Chapter 8 Cutting Off Relations Madam Huo and Huo Song had not expected Jiang Ning to lash out so violently.
Unprepared, Madam Huo let out a shrill scream in fear.
Huo Miao also trembled in fright, and then she saw Jiang Ning walking towards her.
“What, what do you want to do…” Huo Miao couldn’t help but retreat, and accidentally fell back onto the sofa behind her.
She lifted her delicate little face, tears glistening like pears on a flowering tree, and her pure, large eyes were filled with unmistakable terror and panic.
Jiang Ning strode forward, and with Huo Miao having no escape, easily grasped her chin with her hand.
With one hand gripping Huo Miao’s chin, and the other lightly patting her tender cheek, Jiang Ning said, “Sure enough, it’s this look in your eyes that I find more agreeable.”
At least, the fear on Huo Miao’s face was genuine.
After admiring for a moment, Jiang Ning warned, “Remember this, stop pretending in front of me, otherwise I’ll hit you every time I see it.”
Although she was preparing to leave the Huo family, Capital City was neither too big nor too small, and it was quite possible that they would meet again in the future.
Giving Huo Miao’s little green tea act, it was inevitable that she would play pretend and deliberately cause trouble in front of her again, just like before.
Jiang Ning had no intention of tolerating her endlessly; it was better to make things clear to her from the start.
Letting go of Huo Miao, Jiang Ning’s long legs took a step, and she turned to go upstairs.
The Huo Family Villa was large, and Jiang Ning walked up the spiral staircase to the second floor, heading straight for the room at the far end.
Since she had been brought back by the Huo family, she had always lived in this room.
The room faced away from the sun, and it was unknown whether it had been used as a storeroom before Jiang Ning moved in. The room was merely ten square meters and had only a small window above the wall.
Always lacking ventilation and sunlight, the room emitted a musty odor.
There were few things in the room, apart from a single bed, a wardrobe, and a computer desk.
Moreover, this computer desk was installed by Jiang Ning herself after she moved in.
Looking at this dark, small room, even Jiang Ning herself had to laugh.
Despite the vastness of the Huo Family Villa, and the many secondary bedrooms, Huo Song and Madam Huo had placed her in this tiny room, not even as good as a guest room.
And she had never realized anything was wrong.
Actually, this room alone revealed just how little anticipation and sincerity the Huo family members had for her arrival.
Jiang Ning bent her head to pack her luggage.
She placed all her belongings in a suitcase to take with her, touching nothing that belonged to the Huo family members.
In the end, all her luggage comprised was a small suitcase and a laptop backpack.
–
After Jiang Ning went upstairs, Madam Huo, who had been sitting on the sofa, immediately got up and walked over to the three Huo brothers lying on the ground, anxiously inspecting their injuries: “Ziheng, Pingping, Anan, how are you all?”
“Wuu wuu wuu, brother, little brother, are you okay?” Huo Miao, who had been curled up on the sofa, also flipped around to kneel on the carpet, her expression one of concern.
Huo Song quickly picked up his phone and dialed the family doctor’s number, instructing him to come over immediately.
With his eyes swollen like a panda’s, Huo Ziheng could barely keep them open due to the pain as he angrily said, “Has Jiang Ning gone mad? How has she changed so much after being discharged this time?”
The twins, who were also beaten until their noses were blue and faces swollen, gritted their teeth in pain, “Dad was right this afternoon! She must be mentally ill! If not, then definitely irritable!”
Otherwise, how could one explain Jiang Ning’s sudden violence after being discharged?
Huo Kaian said indignantly, “Quick, call the psychiatric hospital and have her taken away!”
Huo Miao and Madam Huo helped the three Huo brothers to sit down on the sofa together.
Hearing Huo Kaian’s words, Huo Miao instinctively replied, “This, this isn’t good, though… Although I don’t know why my sister has suddenly become so violent after being discharged, it would be bad if she also attacked other people in the psychiatric hospital.”
Her words were like adding fuel to the fire, and Huo Kaian immediately retorted, “If we don’t send her in, the person she’ll be hitting is us!”
As shameful as it was, they had to admit that they couldn’t even beat Jiang Ning!
If they continued to live under the same roof as her, they’d only be pressed to the ground and rubbed against by her unilaterally!
Remembering how Jiang Ning had slapped him from left to right just now, Huo Kaiping showed a humiliated and awkward expression and joined in, “I agree with this plan.”
No sooner had he finished speaking than they heard a commotion from the second floor, and it seemed like they could also hear footsteps.
Almost subconsciously, Madam Huo quickly returned to the sofa she had been sitting on, while Huo Miao and the three Huo brothers looked up, nervously staring at the staircase.
Their hearts were pounding, the fear of being dominated by Jiang Ning creeping over them, unnoticed even by themselves.
Carrying a backpack with a computer, Jiang Ning came down the stairs with a suitcase in hand.
Seeing her about to leave home, none of the Huo family members said a word.
Instead, as Jiang Ning reached the middle of the living room, she set down her suitcase, threw two bank cards onto the sofa, and looked at Madam Huo to speak, “Here are two bank cards. One is what you gave me when I arrived, I haven’t touched a cent in it, and now I’m returning it to you. The other card has two hundred thousand in it, half is for the living and accommodation expenses of the past year and a bit, and the other half is to sever all ties with you guys, password is 123456.”
“Anyway, when you brought me back, you didn’t change my household registration, nor did you publicly announce my identity. Once I walk out of this door today, if we meet again in the future, we’ll be strangers who don’t interfere with each other’s business.”
“None of you should come to me for trouble, otherwise…”
As she spoke, Jiang Ning raised her fists to gesture towards them.
The three Huo brothers, who had just been beaten, sat on the sofa daring to be angry but not to speak, and the head of the family sitting on the sofa, Huo Song, also had a gloomy expression. He gave Jiang Ning a cold glance and spoke darkly, “Don’t regret it.”
Even if Jiang Ning lived in the Huo Family Villa and the Huo family hadn’t publicly claimed her as the Huo family heiress, having the Huo family as her backing still meant people would flatter her.
Once she left the Huo family, she would be on her own. Huo Song wanted to see who would care about a young girl like her then!
If the Huo family even slightly spread the word that Jiang Ning had offended them, she’d probably find it difficult to find a job just to get by in Capital City!
“No regrets.” Jiang Ning didn’t know what Huo Song was scheming in his heart, but even if she did, it wouldn’t change her mind at this moment.
Jiang Ning picked up her suitcase and stepped out of the Huo family home.
Behind her, Huo Miao, sitting on the sofa, clutched its surface tightly with both hands, held back for a while, but ultimately couldn’t contain herself, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily curved upwards.
Although she didn’t understand what Jiang Ning was thinking, with Jiang Ning leaving the Huo family, Huo Miao would be the only young lady and heiress of the Huo family!
