Chapter 1: A Family Like That

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Why are you still here?

“Do you know that upstart father of yours is already reporting us for murder?

“Don’t tell me you don’t want to leave because you despise that family?

“Lu An, I’m telling you! Today, you have to leave, no matter what!”

Lu An was sitting by the bed and feeding her grandfather, who had brought her up since she was young. Behind her, Zhang Xinhui barged in.

She was wearing a retro-style red silk dress with a light-colored scarf around her neck. Her face was made up exquisitely and her hair was bound up with a diamond hair clip. She was holding an LV bag from the latest season, and exuded the aura of a rich lady.

As she spoke, two hands were already lunging for Lu An.

Lu An casually grabbed her grandfather’s cane and stopped her. No matter how Zhang Xinhui struggled, Lu An didn’t even glance at her. She fed her grandfather the last spoonful of medicine, and the corners of her lips curved up to let him know that everything was fine. She placed the spoon on the counter beside her, and held her grandfather’s wrinkled hand as she gently gave him reminders, like remember to eat breakfast, stop drinking, stop smoking…

They were all very typical reminders. The girl’s gentle voice was like a clear spring in the mountains. Her black and shiny eyes were pure like a sprite’s, and they held a calm which belied her age.

She was dressed in a bleached T-shirt and jeans, and had a slim figure. Her hair was tied up in a high ponytail, and she had a smooth and broad forehead.

Behind her, Zhang Xinhui couldn’t hold back her anger, and Qi Xiuyuan gave her a cold look in warning.

Tears gradually welled up in the old man’s cloudy eyes as he rubbed Lu An’s hand repeatedly. His granddaughter, his granddaughter!

Her parents had dumped her with him since she was young because of her weak constitution and constant illness. They had basically never shown her any care.

He thought that as long as he taught her well enough, he would make her heartless parents regret it sooner or later. But now, before they could do so, her biological father actually…

That kind of nouveau riche upstart who relied on being a loan shark!

He heard that there were five good-for-nothing brothers in the family. The big brother was a tumor in the entertainment industry, and was a pile of disgusting dirt!

The second brother was scum in legal circles. He actually defended murderers!

There was also the third brother, a typical traitor to the nation and quack who worshipped foreign practices!

The fourth brother, in particular, was a designer who had plagiarized someone else’s work, and even almost drove the original creator into committing suicide!

Even more infuriating was the fifth brother. He was so young, but already a school tyrant. What was his obedient and cute granddaughter going to do? If she went to such a family…

“Alright, I know you’re actually pretending to be sick. Don’t worry, your granddaughter isn’t that weak. She’s very strong!”

The young lady had a sweet smile on her face. She blinked her eyes and raised her hands above her head to show off her muscles. Her face was like a painting, and her skin was fair and tender.

Then, Lu An got up, grabbed the bag she had already packed that morning, and slipped a letter without a postmark into it.

She slung the bag over her shoulder with one slender arm, and her tall figure strode away, all without even looking at Zhang Xinhui once.

“No, Dad, what’s with her attitude?”

Zhang Xinhui found it unbelievable. Why did this wretched girl seem different somehow?

Before she could say anything else, Qi Xiuyuan shouted angrily, “Enough!

“She’s already gone. What else do you have to say?”

“No, Dad!”

Zhang Xinhui quickly defended herself. “It’s all because of that father of hers. He was the one who came knocking on our door again. He even threatened to tear down our family, and he even…”

“Sob…”
