Chapter 225: Moving – You Can’t Leave

When Yun Jian heard from Qin Yirou’s own mouth that her new workplace was New Cruise, she felt a flicker on her eyelid.

Her mother’s workplace was her company?!

It stunned Yun Jian.

It was not like it was a bad thing. At least she could easily stipend Qin Yirou in the future since she worked there. It would look legitimate.

At the same time, Yun Jian was wondering if she should tell Zhang Zhifan the next time she met him, to increase the pay of the company cleaner.

“Xiao Jian, are you listening?” Qin Yirou waved her hand in front of the girl several times when she caught her dazing out.

“I am,” Yun Jian answered with a smile and crescent-shaped eyes at Qin Yirou.

The woman nodded and continued with what she was thinking.

“Xiao Jian, I think that we’ve disturbed your Auntie Dong plenty now and I always feel bad about it.”

“I’ve been saving a lot these days and I want to look for a rental. We can move out first. When I earn enough money, we can come back and pay Auntie Dong a good visit,” said Qin Yirou.

Yun Jian understood where the woman was coming from. She felt that they had overstayed their welcome. It was someone else’s house after all, which did not sit right.

“Mom, I have no objections. We’ll do what you feel like,” said Yun Jian.

She had no further comments. Staying somewhere else, to her, was only switching a place to sleep.

“Xiao Jian, you have no objections?” Qin Yirou was quite surprised.

After all, moving out from the villa meant that their living condition would step several notches back from how they were living now.

Qin Yirou was thinking that she would put the moving on hold first if Yun Jian did not want to move to a poorer living space. When she saved more money with the passing time, they could move out after she could afford to rent a better place.

“Mm. You can decide,” Yun Jian encouraged with a nod.

“Okay, we’ll tell Auntie Dong when she’s here tomorrow.” Qin Yirou decided.

She was utterly grateful for Dong Ruan.

When she was at her worst, it was her old time friend who took her entire family in. Now that Qin Yirou had some money with her, however, she thought that she should move, having intruded for so long.

That was all.

Everyone had a home. They were best friends during their youth but they were married now. Although Dong Ruan’s husband had passed away, Qin Yirou still found it less than appropriate to have stayed in her place for so long.

…

The next day, Dong Ruan was home on a break.

She opposed the idea when Qin Yirou brought the matter up, but somehow she was persuaded afterwards. She had even taken a few days of leave to look for a suitable rental for Qin Yirou.

The latter was going to hunt on her own, but she could not resist her best friend’s well-meaning fervor. Shortly, the rental was found and Qin Yirou was moving bags and boxes with Yun Jian early in the morning.

Yun Jian did not have much. She had only a backpack and even that did not carry much.

“Xiao Jian, have you packed everything?” Qin Yirou asked, with her own hands full of belongings.

Dong Ruan had specifically taken leave to help the mother and daughter with the moving as well. Currently, she is also looking at Yun Jian.

“Yup, all done,” the teenage girl answered with a nod.

“Let’s go then,” Qin Yirou announced, pushing suitcases and bags out the door.

“Screech…”

The brake of a car squealed and the door was opened.

Right as Si Yi came through it, he saw Yun Jian and Qin Yirou loaded with bags and moving toward the door.

He frowned and asked, “What are you guys doing?”

“Oh, A-Yi, you’re back? We’ve intruded on you guys for all this while. We’re moving out today. Here, Xiao Jian, say goodbye to A-Yi,” Qin Yirou spoke to the young man.

Qin Yirou had been addressing him like an elder who was close to him these days, no one stopped her either.

In spite of it, Si Yi’s brows narrowed further when he heard Qin Yirou’s explanation. He was already headed for Yun Jian, standing in front of her and towering over her.

He grabbed her hand right before Qin Yirou and Dong Ruan, ordering curtly, “You can’t leave!”
