Chapter 3: Household Separation

Walking out of the apartment, Yu Shi Lan saw that there were some aunts from the other apartments who were looking in her direction with worry and concern. Of course, there were also some who were only looking to see some funs and eat melons.

Yu Shi Lan thought about it in her heart for a second before giving a weary and helpless smile to the aunts.

This made them feel even more distressed.

The girl was very thin and it was obvious that she had suffered a lot in the past.

“Yu Shi Lan girl, are you alright now?” An aunt stepped forward, asking worriedly.

“I’m going to buy medicine now, Aunt Shi. Thank you for your concern,” Yu Shi Lan responded politely with a restrained smile on her face.

This appearance only made the aunt distressed, but since Yu Shi Lan has been known for being a bit stubborn beside her softness, they could only let her go.

In this way, Yu Shi Lan walked slowly to the elevator and calculated the time.

Wang Kai Tan and Su Wan Rou would not check the safe without reason and Yu Shi Lan was confident that her skills wouldn’t be found out so easily.

Now, her priority was to go to the civil registry office to separate her registration from her family. She could still remember how these three people relied on the fact that her father is a martyr and that she was adopted by their family to enjoy rights that they shouldn’t have obtained.

Heh, does her father’s sacrifice had to be used by wicked people like them?

They flaunted the power and resources they got from using her father’s status to live a good life and destroyed many people’s lives.

When Yu Shi Lan finally found them, everything was too late.

She had to bear the brunt of their messes and finally falling off that cliff, which transported her to the cultivation world.

Yu Shi Lan had no idea whether the cultivation world was connected to this world or it was a coincidence, but she knew that she hadn’t met other people from this world in that cultivation world.

Or it might be because the cultivation world was so big that she didn’t manage to meet them.

Either way, Yu Shi Lan felt that her future will be different now.

“No one’s here.”

When she came out of the apartment and reached an area without surveillance cameras, Yu Shi Lan quickly took the fever medicine and swallowed it. She could felt her body was on the verge of collapse.

If it was not because she was pressed in time, Yu Shi Lan would rather wait until her fever was gone before going out to deal with this matter.

But there was no time.

“You can do it.”

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Yu Shi Lan’s eyes. Only by forcing herself would it be possible for her to achieve her goals.

This was how she survived while she stayed at the bottom in that world.

Dragging her feverish body, Yu Shi Lan reached the civil registry office and quickly stated what she wanted. When they heard that she wanted to separate her household residence and they found out about her age, the official was a bit doubtful and worried.

Because Yu Shi Lan is still 17 years old.

“Little Sister, you’re still a minor and based on the law, you need to have a guardian,” the person in charge explained.

“But I’ll be 18 this year and I can already take care of myself. Besides, my foster parents are too poor and they can’t even afford to let me eat enough. I can work part time to support myself,” Yu Shi Lan said with red eyes.

She felt that she has been possessed by the drama or actress queen.

Because her performance was so convincing and Yu Shi Lan also raised her hand, which showed the bruises on her arms.

Those were the bruises that her foster mother made when she dragged her to the bed last night.

Tsk, it can be proven useful.

“Little sister, would you like to report a case instead of separating the household residence? The Woman Association is nearby,” the staff in charge asked earnestly.

Seeing the wounds on Yu Shi Lan’s arm, what could she not understand?

The child must have suffered enough when she was in her foster family’s home, but she didn’t dare to say it.

“No, I just want to separate the household residence, is it fine?” Yu Shi Lan asked again, her tone sounded pitiful as if she was about to cry.

Filing the case would have been fine in normal times, but the world was about to change and Yu Shi Lan didn’t have the time to wait. She needed to separate the household residence as soon as possible to prevent the possibility of her foster family using her biological father’s connection to make trouble.

They were not worthy to do this.

Just thinking about it made Yu Shi Lan full of hatred and anger. Her father served the country and sacrificed himself, but these people made a joke out of him….

“Alright…” the person in charge finally relented.

Anyway, there were only a few months away and she quickly handled this matter, both online and offline to make sure that there wouldn’t be any problem on both ends.

Thankfully, separating one’s household registration was easy now as long as the person in charge agreed to it, so Yu Shi Lan quickly finished it and kept her own household registration safe and separated the family of three.

Seeing these three names, Yu Shi Lan had to hold the urge to kill them.

“Miss, are you alright?” A young man in his mid twenties spotted Yu Shi Lan who almost collapsed outside the civil registry office and caught her before she fell down.

“I’m fine.” Yu Shi Lan frowned and wanted to push the man away.

However, the man frowned and suddenly held her hand and then her forehead politely and then moved his hand away almost immediately. “Miss, you have fever. Would you like me to call a taxi to get back home?”

Yu Shi Lan was stunned for a moment before shaking her head. This act of kindness was really rare for her who had lived in that cruel world for a long time.

And when the world changed… how many people could still act kind to other people around them?

She was really not used to this.

Yu Shi Lan raised her hand, stopping the man from truly calling the taxi. “I’m fine, Kind Older Brother. My place is not far from here and I can get back on my own.”

The man looked at Yu Shi Lan a few times as he released her and then nodded politely. “I understand if you said so, Miss. Your fever is really high, so you better drink some medicine.”

“Thank you for your reminder.” Yu Shi Lan smiled politely.

After that, the man didn’t linger around and walked away.

Since the person who was sick had said so, there was no point for him to stay behind and pester the other party. He was not that tactless not to be able to see that the other party didn’t want him to be involved.

“Hey, Ting Yu, who is it?” A man around the same age as the kind man waved his hand as he called out to the other party.

“I don’t know.” The first man, Mu Ting Yu, shook his head. “I see that she’s about to fall, so I kindly help to support her, but it seems that it’s unnecessary.”

“Brother, you’re really kind to help strangers all the time.” Mu Ting Yu’s younger brother, looked back casually while helping his older brother to carry the bags. “No wonder Father always praise you so much. But you’ll invite a lot of rotten peach blossom if you’re always like this~.”

“Mu Ting Ye, if you don’t know how to speak, don’t speak!”

“Tsk~.”

The other man was amused, but he had gotten used to the way these two brothers got along with each other. He simply said what he wanted to say and didn’t interfere with their bickering.

“Hoo, be careful of scams.” The man reminded.

“You’re too paranoid.” Mu Ting Yu rolled his eyes as he shrugged. “Come on, we’ll be late to report.”

“Ahh, you’re right!”
