The Canary that couldn't escape

Chapter 165: Chapter 165: I’ll Go with You

Her luggage was simple; it only took her two minutes to pack up.

As she walked out of the room and passed through the living room, an envelope was thrown at her feet.

"Take this and get out!" Gu Yixuan had still given her the property deed, which was his way of compensating her on Mo Ran’s behalf.

Mo Yan glanced at the envelope at her feet but did not immediately pick it up.

Upstairs, a now-awake Mo Ran had just come out when she heard Gu Yixuan’s words and saw what was happening in the living room.

In her eyes, Gu Yixuan was trying to drive Mo Yan away and was bribing her to leave with things.

Seeing her sister’s frail and lonely silhouette, she felt her heart ache and, in a burst of anger, ran downstairs to shield Mo Yan behind her, glaring angrily at Gu Yixuan.

"What are you doing?! How can you humiliate my sister like this?! I’ll have you know, we don’t need your money! We are people with dignity too!"

She turned to grab Mo Yan’s hand, saying hastily, "Sister, I will leave with you, wait for me!"

As she turned to run upstairs for her luggage, her wrist was caught by Mo Yan. Mo Ran looked back in surprise, meeting Mo Yan’s despondent gaze.

"Ranran, let it be, I never should have stayed here in the first place, I should leave. You stay here; don’t come out and suffer with me. It’s not Master Xuan driving me away, I’m leaving on my own will." Mo Yan’s words were strained, filled with a heavy sense of grievance.

Upon hearing this, Mo Ran naturally assumed her words were false, "Sister, you don’t have to lie to me, if we’re going, we’ll go together! I’m not going to abandon you."

Damn!

Gu Yixuan cursed silently in his heart; he had truly underestimated Mo Yan’s cunning.

With a cold face, he watched her coldly, waiting to see what tricks she could come up with.

With reddened eyes, Mo Yan shook her head, "No need, I can live well on my own. Ranran, I’m sorry for losing my temper at you today. I know it was just an accident, not your fault..."

"Sister, don’t say that. It’s okay if you blame me; it was indeed my fault. I’ve never blamed you, really."

"Do you really not blame me?" Mo Yan asked joyfully.

"Mm," Mo Ran nodded vigorously.

"That’s good, now I can leave with peace of mind," Mo Yan said with a faint smile, but Mo Ran felt a chill in her heart.

"Sister, what are you going to do, don’t do anything foolish!" She clutched at her hand tightly, fearing she would disappear in the next second.

Mo Yan pulled her hand free and said calmly, "Don’t worry, I won’t do anything foolish. I just want to be alone for a while."
