Gu Shengyin went back and found Mr. and Mrs. An.
"You're moving out?" Mrs. An was somewhat surprised.
"Yeah," Shengyin said softly, "I plan to rent a room next to the school. That way, I won't waste too much time commuting and can save some time for studying." Of course, she couldn't say that they were sick of each other; she needed to find a plausible excuse.
She looked at Mrs. An's expression and added, "My scholarship is enough to cover the rent."
Just as she had expected, Mrs. An immediately agreed upon hearing that it wouldn't cost her own money.
In the evening, in the An family's bedroom.
Mr. An's voice was hesitant, "Yu Feng, are we being too harsh on Qinyu? After all, we've raised her for so many years. Our affection for her... isn't inferior to that for our own child, right?"
Mrs. An's voice turned cold, "She is not my Qinyu. Like you said, we've raised her for over ten years, provided for her food, and her clothing; we've done everything we should."
