Chapter 675: Chapter 667: Do They Want to Starve Her to Death?
Tang Yuxin was initially still sleepy, very much so, but who can blame her for having a pretty good sense of self-discipline?
And it was this self-discipline that made her, no matter how reluctant she was to leave the bed, eventually wake up completely.
What time was it?
She grabbed her clothes and put them on, yawning out of sheer sleepiness.
Honestly, the one thing she was looking forward to now was not anything else but a good night’s sleep.
...
As long as she could sleep well at night, she would definitely be full of energy the next morning when she got up.
“I want to sleep here again tonight.”
Tang Yuxin had decided not to go back today; it would save her the trouble of being annoyed by that mother and daughter.
It wasn’t that she couldn’t handle them, it was just that she genuinely lacked the energy to deal with people she didn’t like, and who also disrupted her rest.
“Sure.”
Gu Ning had already picked up a wet towel drenched in water for her to wipe her face.
His place was big and somewhat secluded.
If she wanted to stay, she could, and no one would know.
Tang Yuxin wiped her face with the towel, which somewhat helped her wake up.
She took Gu Ning’s hand and pulled his wrist to her eyes.
There was no hurry, there was still half an hour before work started.
It would take at most five minutes to walk from here; just step out the door, and you’re there—very close, even closer than the courtyard where she currently lived.
If she had to work late or was busy, she really could crash at Gu Ning’s place in the future.
“I found out the information you wanted me to look into.”
Gu Ning knew there was enough time because he had woken Tang Yuxin up half an hour early so that she could take her time and become fully alert.
Tang Yuxin took a sip of water, her red lips slightly curling at the corners, “Wei Jiani had an affair, and was caught red-handed by Jin Wenhan.”
“You know all about this?”
Gu Ning wasn’t surprised.
As for who, she guessed it was almost certainly Sang Zhilan; there wasn’t anyone else she could think of.
“Yuxin, why didn’t you come back yesterday?”
Indeed, as soon as she arrived, she heard a familiar voice that immediately made her irritable.
“Yuxin, you’re a young lady.
How can you not come home at night?
Is this how your father taught you?
You don’t even have a bit of self-respect.
What’s the point of living?”
Upon seeing Tang Yuxin, Sang Zhilan started scolding her furiously, venting the frustration that was bottled up inside her.
They had waited for her all night, expecting her to come back with food.
Even without fancy dishes, there should’ve been something to fill their bellies.
Sang Zhilan had made it very clear that she had nothing, not even money.
If Yuxin didn’t bring them food, was she supposed to let her own mother starve?
But even after waiting until midnight, Yuxin didn’t return, and the mother and daughter went hungry all night.
With the bit of change that Yuxin had left them, they could only afford a bowl of noodles which they shared and were still not satisfied—it was barely enough to keep hunger at bay as they waited for the meal Yuxin was supposed to bring that night.
But they waited and waited, and no one came all night.
They didn’t dwell on the fact that no one came at night since they eventually fell asleep out of starvation, and waking up early in the morning, they didn’t feel as hungry, so they waited again.
But the hungrier they got, the more Yuxin didn’t return; Wei Jiani was rolling on the ground in hunger.
They had scoured the place; there was not even flour or oil in the kitchen to make food, and they had no money.
They had left home in such a hurry that they hadn’t brought much money, and what they had was almost all spent on the way.
Now they were entirely dependent on Tang Yuxin to provide for them.
However, Yuxin didn’t return in the evening or at noon.
It was now, and she still hadn’t come back.

Eventually, Sang Zhilan, driven by hunger, had no choice but to find Yuxin herself.
As soon as she saw Yuxin, she lashed out, hoping to make her realize that she knew all about her misdeeds.
