An Ge paused slightly in her steps.
Huo Shaoyan said, "You don’t deserve to live in the East Garden."
Because of his words, An Ge tilted her head slightly. Her beautiful eyes, calm and unwavering, t his as she replied, "I understand. I will move out of the East Garden tonight..."
Huo Shaoyan continued, "I an, you don’t deserve to live in the Huo Mansion."
An Ge pressed her lips together, her thick eyelashes fluttering slightly as she said, "Okay. I will move out of the Huo Mansion."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left.
It seed the temperature had dropped. Coming out of the hospital building, An Ge felt the cold seeping in.
Actually, moving out of the Huo Mansion wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. She now had a complete plan for the coming year, with a clear goal to strive for, and living elsewhere would allow her to fully focus on her entrepreneurship.
The only downside was her concern that moving out might invite trouble or even harm from An Baoying and her family of three.
After all, in An Baoying’s eyes, she knew too much about their dirty dealings, which could hinder An Baoying’s chance to sit on the position of Mrs. Huo.
After An Ge left the hospital, she returned to the Huo Mansion.
She only took her computer and the baby items she embroidered, leaving everything else behind.
As she was leaving, Uncle Fu and the gardener Uncle Wang ca to see her off, showing great reluctance.
Uncle Fu said, "An Ge, I don’t think things are as bad as you think. The young master is just angry. Once his anger subsides, it will surely be better."
Uncle Wang, the gardener, added, "Yes, An Ge. Madam Huo is so fond of you; she’d surely be reluctant to see you go."
Mrs. Huo almost drowned in the artificial lake. That Huo Shaoyan didn’t expel her from Jingcheng was considered a great rcy.
An Ge understood her current situation well. She had to leave now.
"You all are oversimplifying things. If it weren’t for the fact that my blood could treat Young Master Huo’s illness and that there was so sort of agreent between us, he would have kicked out of Jingcheng long ago, not just the Huo Mansion."
Uncle Fu pondered for a mont and said, "Will you be alright living outside alone? You’re pregnant, and it’s not safe for you."
Uncle Wang concurred, "Yes, An Ge, you’re too good-looking. If soone with bad intentions has designs on you, it could be disastrous."
Uncle Wang’s words hit the nail on the head.
She was indeed too pretty, and even during her ti in prison, the guards wanted to take advantage of her. Because she refused, one guard bribed a convict to pull out her nails.
Later, when she was released, she learned that the guard was Bai ilan’s cousin.
In any case, living alone outside indeed posed high risks.
However, the law and order in Jingcheng had always been good, and she was now officially recognized as Mrs. Huo’s god-granddaughter, so nothing should happen.
An Ge bade farewell to Uncle Wang and Uncle Fu, asking Uncle Fu to apologize to Mrs. Huo on her behalf before she left.
Back at her apartnt, An Ge spent nearly two hours refining the business proposal Shen Hongxiu had requested.
Once the draft was finalized, she called Shen Hongxiu.
"Auntie, I’ve completed the business proposal. Could you give an email address..."
"No need," Shen Hongxiu interrupted bluntly.
An Ge felt a twist in her heart. "Could... you give a reason?"
At this mont, Shen Hongxiu was in Fu Rou’s hospital room, and having heard the full story, she was nearly frightened to death.
Thankfully, after the scare, her friend Fu Rou was unhard.
Shen Hongxiu and Fu Rou were of one mind. Now that Fu Rou had a problem with An Ge, she naturally would not continue collaborating with An Ge.
She quickly offered a valid reason, saying, "I don’t like dealing with people who are calculating and who fumble their work. In the future... don’t call again, that’s all."
So, would the business proposal she worked so hard to create et its end without seeing the light of day?
An Ge wouldn’t allow this to happen.
Having been expelled from the Huo Family, her current living environnt was too unsafe. She needed to move to a high-end community to avoid scheming by An Baoying and her family, which required a significant amount of money.
Resources would run out quickly if she didn’t act.
She had to urgently earn money.
However, Shen Hongxiu’s attitude was firm, making this path seem impossible.
In her contemplation, she thought of Xiao Ye.
Xiao Ye was originally the illegitimate son of the Xiao Family and only recognized by the family at sixteen or seventeen.
Because his biological mother was illiterate and financially disadvantaged, Xiao Ye grew up with hardships in a small town and lacked good educational opportunities. Even after his mother passed away and he was recognized by the family, he was never valued by the Xiao elders.
Therefore, to prove his position within the family, Xiao Ye was eager to accomplish sothing significant.
Thinking about this, An Ge called Xiao Ye.
"That entertainnt journalist and detective project we talked about before, I’ve completed the business plan. Would you like to see it?"
In the past few days, while working on the business proposal for Shen Hongxiu, she also crafted a plan to establish an "Entertainnt Journalist Company."
Eager to prove his worth through a venture, Xiao Ye was imdiately interested upon hearing this. "Send it over for to review."
"I’ll send it to you via WeChat."
After the call ended, An Ge sent the plan over.
Then, she didn’t idle around and went to a real estate agency to look for a new place.
...
anwhile, back at the other end.
After ending the call with An Ge, Shen Hongxiu looked up, eting Huo Shaoyan’s gaze.
Her nephew carried a heavy air of hostility and was perpetually stern, which made his stare particularly unsettling.
Flustered under his scrutiny, Shen Hongxiu frowned and asked, "Ah Yan, why are you looking at like that?"
