However, the extra ten thousand dollars was merely a verbal promise. It was not a contractual obligation. Thus, Young Master Yuncheng could refuse to pay it.

“Mother, where are you right now?”

“I’ve just finished packing our belongings. I’m still in front of the Jian Residence.”

Jian Yuncheng had requested for Mo Huiqin to move out immediately. He didn’t even let her stay for another day. He refused to give her any buffer time.

The Mo family was not renting the cottage that they lived in. As a result, the Jian family wasn’t required to give them additional notice before they demanded them to move out. Letting the Mo family live in the cottage was an act of kindness from the Jian family.

As of now, Mo Huiqin was standing in front of the iron gates of the Jian Residence. She was holding numerous bags of luggage with her.

“Are there no vehicles nearby? I’ll call a taxi for you.”

There were not many buses in front of the Jian Residence.

“No, I want to wait a little longer. I want to wait for Master and Madam to come back. I want to ask them about this matter.”

As of now, she had only heard the news from Jian Yuncheng. Mo Huiqin hadn’t seen Jian Shuxing and Wen Nuan yet.

“Mother…” Mo s.h.i.+yun whispered out. Her heart felt incredibly pained.

Her mother was still holding onto that glimmer of hope.

Mo s.h.i.+yun wanted to persuade her to give up on that hope. However, she couldn’t bear to say those words.

There was nothing that she could do. She didn’t even have the strength to persuade her mother to give up.

Even if she persuaded her mother to give up, she couldn’t do anything else to help her mother with the situation either.

“s.h.i.+yun… After school… You won’t be able to get into the house anymore…” Aunt Mo cried out. Her voice sounded incredibly agonized.

Aunt Mo thought about her daughter coming home from school and not being able to go back to her warm room to do her homework. The more she thought about it, the more that she hated herself for her own incompetence.

“Mother, I’m not afraid. It’s all right. We’ve gone through hard times before! This is nothing. Let’s stay at a hotel tonight. Tomorrow, you can start to look for an apartment. Then you can look for a job after that. It’ll be fine.”

Mo s.h.i.+yun tried her best to comfort her mother.

“Okay, I will.”

Mo s.h.i.+yun glanced at the time. She realized that she couldn’t talk to her mother for much longer.

“Mother, my friend is still waiting for me. I have to leave now.”

“Okay, okay. Focus on your studies.”

Mo s.h.i.+yun hung up her phone and returned to the cafeteria. Zhu Sha had finished eating already. She had been patiently waiting for Mo s.h.i.+yun.

“What’s wrong? Did something happen?” Zhu Sha asked out of concern.

“No, it’s nothing.” Mo s.h.i.+yun replied. She didn’t want to tell Zhu Sha what was happening in her family.

After school, Mo s.h.i.+yun returned back to the familiar Jian Residence.

In front of the house, Aunt Mo was still standing in front of the gates. There were several suitcases and bags that were scattered around her.

“Mother…”

When Mo s.h.i.+yun saw her mother standing in the cold wind, Mo s.h.i.+yun was overcome with grief.

She rushed forward and hugged her mother.

“s.h.i.+yun! I’m so sorry… I let you down…”

Upon seeing her tired daughter who had returned from a long day of school, Aunt Mo felt incredibly guilty.

“Mother, I’m fine.”

Mo s.h.i.+yun forced herself to not show any grief. She wanted her mother to feel slightly better.

At this moment, the Jian family’s car pulled up to the Jian Residence.

Usually, the car would have arrived much earlier than the bus. However, Jian Yunnao had requested the chauffeur to bring him to the Old Jian Residence before returning home.

As the car proceeded to the gates, the iron gates of the Jian Residence opened automatically.

At the same time, Jian Yunnao who was seated in the back seat had opened the window. He looked out of the car and his eyes met up with Mo s.h.i.+yun’s eyes.

Jian Yunnao saw Aunt Mo and Mo s.h.i.+yun. He also saw the bags of luggage at their feet.

Jian Yunnao frowned for a moment. However, in the next moment, he withdrew his gaze.
