At the Gu Mansion—
Gu Anran had already finished packing.
Her clothes.
Her mother's jewelry.
The documents she had quietly transferred two weeks ago.
She walked downstairs calmly, dragging her suitcase behind her.
Suddenly—
A porcelain cup flew toward her face.
She tilted her head.
Bang!
The cup shattered violently against the wall behind her.
Fragments scattered across the marble floor.
"You vile child!" Gu Sheng roared. "How dare you dodge? Kneel down immediately!"
Gu Anran slowly turned to look at him.
"Kneel?"
She let out a small laugh.
"Are we in ancient times? Are you the emperor?"
Gu Sheng's face darkened.
"You plotted against your sister! You ruined her reputation! And you even stole her place as Teacher Bai's student!"
Gu Anran didn't react.
"You will call Teacher Bai right now," Gu Sheng continued coldly, "and tell him you're withdrawing. Recommend your sister in your place."
Even Li Meirong held her breath.
Gu Anran looked at him quietly.
"Even if I do that… do you think Teacher Bai would accept her? After what he witnessed tonight?"
Gu Sheng's expression hardened.
"That's why you will admit that you framed Yuhan."
For a moment—
Gu Anran genuinely wondered if she had misheard him.
Her last trace of expectation toward her father…
Shattered.
"And if I refuse?" she asked calmly.
Gu Sheng's voice turned icy.
"Then get out of this house. I will cut you off completely."
Silence filled the hall.
Gu Anran smiled faintly.
"My pleasure."
She lifted her suitcase slightly.
"I believe you didn't notice."
"I'm already leaving."
And without hesitation—
She walked toward the door.
Gu Sheng froze.
Every time he had threatened her in the past—
She had bowed.
This time—
She didn't even look back.
The door closed.
With a decisive click.
"Dad… what will happen to me now?"
Gu Yuhan's voice trembled.
Gu Sheng clenched his jaw.
"Don't worry. Even if that unfilial girl refuses to take the blame… I have ways to make her."
His eyes were cold.
But before he could say more-
The front door opened again.
This time—
A group of men in formal suits entered in an orderly manner.
"Who are you people?!" Gu Sheng barked. "How dare you trespass into my house?! I can sue you!".
A middle-aged man stepped forward.
"Good evening. I am Manager Dui."
He held a stack of documents calmly.
"Mr. Gu, you and your family no longer have the right to reside here."
Li Meirong stiffened.
"What nonsense are you spouting?"
Manager Dui handed over the papers.
"This property has been sold to Xie Housing Agency. You are required to vacate by tomorrow evening. Failure to comply will result in legal action."
Gu Sheng snatched the papers violently.
His hands trembled.
Buyer: Xie Housing Agency
Seller: Gu Anran
Date: Two weeks ago
His vision blurred.
Two weeks ago?
His eyes rolled back.
He collapsed.
"Old Gu!" Li Meirong screamed.
"Dad!" Gu Yuhan shrieked.
Chaos erupted inside the mansion.
Manager Dui adjusted his tie.
"You have until tomorrow evening."
Then he turned and left.
Meanwhile—
In a high-rise apartment overlooking the city—
Gu Anran stood by the window.
Her new home.
Purchased with the money from selling the Gu Mansion.
She poured herself a glass of wine.
The city lights reflected in her eyes.
By now—
They must have received the eviction notice.
She took a slow sip.
This time—
She didn't just leave.
She took everything.
And she felt…
Free.

"Dad how did it go?" Gu Yuhan asked her father who had just returned from negotiating with the the Xie Housing Agency
"I understand estimated that evil girl" Gu Sheng said gritting his teeth
"Old Gu what happened are we going to lose this house? How am I going to face the other noble Ladies" Li Meirong asked, she started lamenting when she didn't get a response.
Gu Sheng got more annoyed when he heard her
"Shut up! We're not losing the house" Gu Sheng said raising his voice with annoyance visible on his face.
Li Meirong and Gu Yuhan were immediately relieved when they heard him.
"Then what happened Dad" Gu Yuhan asked again
"That evil girl sold the house for 10 Billion Yuan" Gu Sheng disclosed gnashing his teeth
"What! So that b*tch has 10 Billion Yuan right now" Gu Yuhan shrieked with jealousy and unwillingness even Li Meirong was so surprised that she couldn't react.
"Yes, and since I didn't negotiate a week earlier l had to pay another 500 Million Yuan to retain the house" Gu Sheng said, he could feel his heart bleeding.
All the money he had embezzled from the company over the years was now spent to retain the house because he didn't want to be a laughing stock in the upper class.
"Old Gu this won't do, we have to find a way to take back all the money from that girl" Li Meirong said, she was already devising a plan in her mind.
"I don't where that evil girl has run off to but I will make sure to deal with her once I lay my eyes on her" Gu Sheng swore angrily, then he went upstairs leaving the mother and daughter behind.
At the Lu-
Lu Zhenyu was busy sorting out some documents when his phone rang, he picked up the call.
"Second brother my Housing Agency recently made a huge profit, guess who made it possible" Xie Niangli said excitedly.
"You have two minutes left" Lu Zhenyu informed
"Wait don't hang up, it's Miss Gu from tonight banquet. Turns out she had already sold the Gu Mansion two weeks ago, my Manager said that Miss Gu father was so angry that he fainted on the spot" Xie Niangli chattered endlessly, a playful smile and on his face when he heard Xie Niangli.
Never in his wildest dreams did he think that she was this formidable, it seems like he misread her and it was the first time he had actually misread somebody.
"Second brother are you still there, I'm hanging up the call I know that you actually don't like gossips like this" Xie Niangli said again then he hung up the call.
