The young girl looked at the mother-daughter duo with clear eyes that had a look of understanding and seeing through the entire world.

Before the mother-daughter duo could react, the hands on their shoulders had already retracted.

Lu Mian picked up her bag again and walked upstairs. She laughed while walking. “Your acting skills are pretty good, but the script is horrible.”

Lu Xinnuan and Fu Man were both embarrassed.

Lu Mian had always spoken in this manner, like a sword of average weight stabbing into one’s heart, which could not be removed or pressed down; every second and minute, it was torturing the person.

The dignified and mighty cover was taken down by her effortlessly, leaving pure schemes and calculations behind.

Lu Mian ignored them and directly went upstairs.

She opened her bag and scanned across the dark room, before putting her hairpin, gift boxes and a few books into her bag.

She took another look at the room and it seemed like there was nothing else she could take away.

She went down the stairs slowly.

Fu Man, Lu Xinnuan and Lu Zhizhai were still in the living room, talking silently and awkwardly.

When Fu Man saw her coming down again, her heart skipped a beat. “What are you doing?”

Lu Mian walked past her and said nonchalantly, “Just take it as if I’ve never come back.” At the very end, she still did not receive their welcoming words back home, so it was just better to have a clean break. Anyway, the people staring at her would not find a fault with this.

“You’re leaving?” asked Fu Man anxiously, but Lu Mian was already out of the door and her back view was hopeless and cold.

She ran a few steps behind her. “Mianmian…”

“Mom!” Lu Xinnuan hurriedly called after her and grabbed her arm. “Be careful of where you’re going!”

At this moment, Lu Mian had already walked quite a distance and her figure had disappeared.

“This child has no conscience. She’s driving me to my grave.” Fu Man was frustrated and upset.

Lu Xinnuan shook her head helplessly. “Mom, don’t worry. Perhaps Sister will be back in two days…”

Lu Xinnuan said that on the surface, but she heaved a sigh of relief, looking at the direction Lu Mian walked towards.

Her Lu Family would no longer have a flaw.

…

Lu Mian walked out of the Lu Family with a calm face, and when she looked up, she saw the black car parked outside. It was the one that sent her home.

She walked forward and knocked on the window.

The car window rolled down slowly, revealing the graceful and handsome face.

The dark eyes beneath the golden spectacles looked at Lu Mian with a smile.

“You haven’t left yet?”

“I was guessing you might come out,” said Xiao Qimo in a gentlemanly manner as he got out of the driver’s seat and took Lu Mian’s bag naturally, while opening the door to the passenger’s seat for her.”

“Get on, I’ll take you home,” said Xiao Qimo.

Lu Mian was slightly taken aback as she touched the car door and did not move.

She repeated the word ‘home’ in her heart and was slightly dazed.

Does she still have a home?

Xiao Qimo looked at her silent and thin figure in the night, standing up independently, which made his heart ache.

He suddenly remembered what Ye Jinwen once said. “The weirder the person is, the more hurt she is on the inside.”

After all, Lu Mian was only a 19-year-old girl.

Many of the 19-year-olds were still precious princes or princesses in their parents’ hearts, and they were sheltered and protected with love. However, she was living independently and blooming on her own, with her strong will to live.

She also understood why the other four victims of the 726 kidnapping incident ended up in a dead state.

That was because they were once given up on by their family members, and they would not be loved, even if they came back.

It was better to just erase their memories and start anew with another identity.

Xiao Qimo collected his thoughts and extended his hand in the night wind to ruffle her soft hair. His actions were warm and gentlemanly and was totally out of his control.

“Let’s go.” He hurriedly retracted his hand.

Lu Mian looked at him coldly from the corner of her eyes, but she did not say anything in the end. She only replied with a “Mm” and got in the car.

The car returned on the same route.

Xiao Qimo slowly turned the steering wheel and said, “Mysterious Thirteen… is actually a decent person.”
