After making the phone call and learning about the incident, a sense of embarrassment appeared on Lu Lehua’s face.
Even An Muyao hadn’t expected that the entire responsibility for the fight would fall on Lu Rongrong’s shoulders.
And to make matters worse, Nan Yan had reported the incident to the police!
An Muyao’s gaze darkened, and her wariness towards Nan Yan grew even stronger.
Meanwhile, An Xiran looked at Lu Lehua, raised an eyebrow, and said, “Now that you know the whole story, shouldn’t you show some understanding?”
“Even if she wasn’t at fault, she blew this small matter out of proportion and even involved the police. Did she ever think about the consequences?” Lu Lehua’s frustration grew as she spoke.
“The Lu family still has business cooperation with us. Now that she has offended the Lu family’s daughter, what if it affects our cooperation with the Lu family?”
In her eyes, Nan Yan was nothing more than a worthless piece of mud, a disgrace to the An family. If she had known that bringing her back would cause so much trouble, she would never have shown her any mercy.
An Xiran watched Lu Lehua turn and leave, a disappointed expression in his eyes.
This was how a mother treated her own daughter.
Even though she knew she had misunderstood Nan Yan, she remained forceful and placed all the blame on her.
Was this the kind of life she had been living in the An family?
After watching An Muyao chase after Lu Lehua, both of them leaving the room, An Xiran masked his expression and knocked on the door, saying, “Yanyan, Fourth Brother. Can I come in?”
Nan Yan opened the door, carrying a single-shoulder backpack, appearing ready to go out.
“Fourth Brother, what’s up?”
Nan Yan’s attitude towards An Xiran was still good. After all, he had helped her a lot these past few days.
In the original owner’s memories, An Xiran hadn’t done anything excessive except for being somewhat cold and distant towards her.
An Xiran glanced at her from head to toe and asked, “Are you going out?”
“Yeah.”
“Where are you going? I’ll drive you.”
“Sure.”
The two siblings went downstairs.
Lu Lehua and An Muyao were in the living room, but none of the four greeted each other.
Specifically, Nan Yan didn’t even spare a glance at the two of them.
Lu Lehua felt a sudden pain in her chest, as if something had vanished from her life.
Then she realized that she was just angry at Nan Yan.
“Yaoyao, help Mom to the bedroom. I’m getting a headache from anger.”

“You’re going to rent a place to live?” An Xiran was somewhat surprised in the car.
His sister was actually asking him to drive to a real estate agency.
Nan Yan leaned against the passenger seat and replied listlessly, “Yeah, the An family is too bothersome.”
An Xiran had initially intended to persuade her, but after recalling the scene just now, he didn’t say anything.
“You don’t have to rent a room. I have an extra room outside. It’s just sitting empty, so you can stay there.”
“No, thanks.” Nan Yan immediately rejected. “Your place is too big. I want to rent a smaller place and live on my own.”
“…”
An Xiran didn’t even get a chance to show her the place before she claimed his house was too large. It was clear that she didn’t want to stay there.
Granted, his place was indeed quite big…
Since she insisted, An Xiran drove directly to the real estate agency.
He planned to buy a small apartment for Nan Yan to live in for the time being.
As for renting… well, it was a joke to think that his sister, An Xiran’s sister, would end up renting a place to live.
Upon arriving at the real estate agency, Nan Yan glanced up at the sign and without saying a word, walked straight inside.
With the assistance of the receptionist, she quickly selected a two-bedroom apartment, around 80 square meters in size, fully furnished and ready to move in, priced at over two million yuan.
An Xiran waved his hand and swiped his card to make the payment.
Nan Yan, holding the purchase contract in her hand, smiled at him and said, “Thank you, Fourth Brother. Once I earn money, I’ll repay you.”
An Xiran frowned unhappily and replied, “Why are you being polite with me? It’s just a little over two million yuan. If it makes you happy, that small amount of money can be earned back in just two livestreams.”
Recalling that she had earned twenty thousand yuan in just two hours last night, Nan Yan felt that she should find some other ways to make money.
Although An Xiran said she didn’t have to repay the two million yuan, Nan Yan couldn’t just take advantage of him.
He didn’t owe anything to the original owner, so she couldn’t simply take advantage of An Xiran.

After completing the purchase, Nan Yan would have to wait until all the formalities were done before she could move in.
However, she didn’t want to suffer for a few more days. She decided to book a hotel and move directly to the new apartment when it was ready.
As for the belongings she had from the An family, there weren’t many. She only had the clothes that An Xiran had bought for her, so a single bag would be enough.
An Xiran couldn’t persuade her, and he didn’t want her to stay in a low-quality hotel either. So, he generously booked a room for her at the Jinyao Courtyard.
It was a high-end hotel similar to the Lantis Hotel, costing 6,999 yuan per night.
An Xiran had originally planned to accompany Nan Yan during her stay there, but he received a phone call and had to go for a livestream.
Reluctantly, he left after reminding her not to wander around and to tell him if she needed anything.
However, as soon as An Xiran left, Nan Yan also left the hotel.
It was the perfect time for nightlife, and with her small bag, she entered the underground casino in Jin City.
At the entrance, a casually dressed and handsome young man intercepted her. His beautiful and alluring eyes glanced over her body, and his hand naturally rested on her shoulder.
“Hey, little girl, are you of legal age? This place isn’t a good place to have fun. If you go in, you might not be able to come out~”
“Listen to big brother and go somewhere else to have fun.”
Nan Yan pushed his hand away and coldly replied, “I want to go in.”
The young man, seeing the girl in her simple shorts and T-shirt, revealing a pair of slender and fair legs. She was as beautiful as a little fairy, and even more rare, with a clean and pure temperament.
He knew that if she went inside, she would undoubtedly be treated like fresh meat, left with nothing but scraps.
Shen Junqing was a person who cherished beauty, so he negotiated with her, “Then let big brother take you in. You’re only allowed to watch, not wander around on your own. When you’re done playing, big brother will send someone to escort you out, how about that?”
Nan Yan was speechless.
Where did this helpful and domineering handsome man come from?
She came to a casino, not to gamble but to watch the excitement. Did she look like a bystander?
“That’s settled then.” The domineering handsome man directly made the decision on her behalf.
“But your pretty face attracts too much attention. You need to cover it up.”
Shen Junqing took out a silver mask from somewhere and wanted to put it on her.
“I’ll do it myself.” Nan Yan took it from him and placed it over her face.
Shen Junqing nodded in satisfaction. “Tsk, you’re still a little beauty. However, you’re quite mysterious. No one will be able to recognize your true face, so your risk will be greatly reduced.”
“Let’s go, hold your brother’s hand.”
Nan Yan was speechless.
Today was definitely the most speechless day of her life…
