" Hahaha, are you certain that, the person you are describing is her? " Master Bai couldn't believe this, these were two different persons.
" Uncle, it's true... I'm even surprised she was standing there and letting her do whatever she wants... She even smiled at me, it was the first time she has smiled at me... " she couldn't help but brag feeling smug.
" Why are you acting like it's your first puppy love?" he pinched her cheeks, it wasn't the first time she had discussed about her with him, they would always chat and she never missed a chance to mention her in their chats.
" Hehe..." she softly giggled, to her, she was heroic and very protective, it's something that she will never forget.
Master Bai gazed at her grinning face and didn't know what to say, she was acting like a foolish woman in love.

Gu Mingyue walked into her tiny bedroom, her sister's bedroom was huge and better, it was nicely decorated while she occupied this small room that fitted a three-by-four bed and was messily done.
She neither had a closet nor a studying desk to work on, she had an old cupboard where she stored her clothes and used her bed to work on.
She slumped down onto the bed before laying down, she worked hard and earned millions for the company but they couldn't spare a few coins to decorate her room.
She was long forsaken and the only thing they ever wanted was to use her, her 16th birthday is going to happen over the weekend, it's not like they ever did celebrate her, she was always living in Gu Ting's shadows.
She got up and walked over to the toilet, it had a shower and latrine altogether and it was small, fitting one person.
She freshened up before wrapping her hair with a towel sitting on the bed and getting her books, now she could only change her fate and do things that could make her happy.

Bai Xue got her mobile phone and immediately ordered food from online shop attaching Gu Mingyue's address and name.
"Why are you ordering some takeaway food while we are going home?" Bai Zhou Hua who had seen it wondered eying her curiously.
"No, I ordered it for her... I know she might sleep hungry..." She had pride and ego but above all, she was stubborn.
"You really do care a lot about her! Mnnh?" He ruffled her hair wondering if his niece was in love with this said girl.
"It's just repaying my gratitude.." she softly remarked as the chauffeur drove them home.

Gu Mingyue began with completing her homework but suddenly, she heard a knock at her bedroom door.
She hurriedly placed her notebooks into her back bag and covered them up with her bed covers," Come on in..." her voice was flat and laid back.
The door was pushed open and Gu Tingyi walked in, "There is an order downstairs that you need to sign..." he eyed her before scanning the room for a minute, he turned around closing the door.
She was wearing her black night dress that she had bought in the second-hand stall, she got up and stepped out of her room, and went downstairs.
At the entrance door, she could see a delivery man and immediately understood, she walked over to the door and receive the package.
The entire family was already done eating and cleared the table, they always let her eat leftovers.
Sometimes, they could kick her out of the dining room table and send her to eat in the kitchen, her birth mother loathed her, and her father? Did nothing..
She signed the papers before turning around to walk upstairs but a soft voice stopped her on the way.
