79 Moving
He Miao looked at her indifferently. “What do you think I did wrong?”
He Wei was instantly stumped by her question and did not know how to answer.
Of course, she knew that He Miao had done nothing wrong, but in her heart, she had to stop He Miao from escaping her control.
She softened her tone and softly coaxed, “Little Sister, Big Sister is doing this for your own good. It’s too dangerous for a young lady like you to move out and live alone.”
He Miao smiled coldly. This home in name was also a Dragon’s Den and a Tiger’s Den for her.
“I’ve made up my mind. I’ll move out today,” she answered with her eyes lowered.
Behind her, He Wei was still trying to make her stay, but He Miao turned a deaf ear and went back to her room to pack her things.
After transmigrating here for so long, He Miao still did not have too many things that belonged to her. She did not have many personal items that she could take with her, and a small suitcase was enough to contain everything.
She packed up Onion’s things and no longer looked at this home that she could not feel any warmth or kinship in. She walked out of the He family house alone under He Feng’s fierce gaze.
She had just received a generous prize, which was more than enough to rent a house.
Breathing in the fresh air outside, He Miao’s mood was unprecedentedly relaxed.
She called Jing Yan first to tell him that she had moved out, so that he would not send Onion back to the He family house.
Hearing this, Jing Yan furrowed his brows. He looked at the stupid dog beside him, who started to become restless after hearing its mistress’s voice, and suggested with his heart racing, “You can stay at my house for the time being.”
He Miao did not want to cause trouble for others, but finding a house was not something that could be solved in a day. She said apologetically, “I’ll have to trouble you guys. I’ll find a house and move out as soon as possible.”
Jing Yan thought she would refuse, but she actually agreed. He heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile, “There’s no rush. Grandpa is very willing to let you stay at my house.”
He Miao was touched at the thought of Grandpa Jing. “No matter what, thank you, Jing Yan. I know you were the one who asked someone to put up the results on the big screen. Thank you for helping me.”
Jing Yan suddenly stopped. He opened his mouth but could not say anything.
It was the first time that his heart was racing because of someone’s word of thanks. He tightened his grip on the phone and said in a deep voice, “I helped you for grandpa’s sake. You don’t have to thank me.”
“I know, but that doesn’t stop me from saying thank you.” He Miao finally found a chance to say these words. He felt relieved and hung up the phone with a smile.
She went to the fruit store to buy some of Grandpa Jing’s favorite fruits before she went to Jing family’s house with her luggage.
Grandpa Jing was overjoyed when he saw her. When he heard that she might be staying here for a few days, he immediately arranged for someone to tidy up a room.
“Miaomiao, Grandpa saw your performance on TV. You did great! Grandpa Jing felt happy from the bottom of his heart.” He took some fruits that the servants had washed and handed them to her. “You can treat this place like your own home. Don’t be so restrained. If Jing Yan bullies you, just tell me. I’ll help you deal with him.”
“Grandpa, Jing Yan has helped me a lot.” He Miao suddenly did not want his good intentions to be misunderstood, so she explained for him, “That report card is the key evidence to prove that the results were skewed. If it wasn’t for Jing Yan’s help, they wouldn’t have admitted it so easily.”
Grandpa Jing shook his head with a smile. “I can see that you have the confidence to prove yourself even without the report card.”
He Miao did not deny it and smiled. She did not know that Jing Yan would be there at the time. She was just curious why the backstage crew would suddenly help an outsider like her instead of helping Zhou Heng, who was one of the organizers, hide the truth.
It was only when she saw Jing Yan that everything became clear.
The Jing family was one of the organizers of the event and it was no secret that he knew about it.
He Miao had lunch with Grandpa Jing and was digesting their food in the yard when Jing Yan, who had urged the driver to speed up, finally arrived.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw the girl standing beside his grandfather. The anxious expression on his face immediately disappeared, and he calmly let go of the dog in his arms. He watched as Onion pounced on her and was hugged by her with a smile.
He stood at the door in a daze, his heart aching as se stared at the dog that could act cute to her at will.
Grandpa Jing called out to him with a smile, and he strode in with his long legs. He stopped a meter away from He Miao, his face calm.
