"No, Aunt. I don't mean to set myself against you." Jean shook her head. "I just want to pursue my
happiness. Everything has finally returned to what it was three years ago. I believe that Terence will
have his own judgment.
I know what I'm saying may make you unhappy. But Aunt, I am already determined to be with him. I
won't give up on him." Although her tone was soft, her words were clear and firm.
Tina gave Jean a disdainful look. In her mind, Jean didn't change much from her childhood. At that
moment, Tina remembered how Jean liked to exchange tears and hypocrisy for anything she wanted.
An irritated scowl pained Tina's face. "So even if I don't agree with your relationship with Terence, you
won't back down?"
"No, I won't." Jean gave her a determined nod. "Aunt, we are adults. We have our ideas about love. I
don't expect your permission, but I hope you can stop being so hostile to me. I will let you see that I'm
good enough for Terence."
A sneer escaped Tina's lips as she stood up. "Since you insist, don't blame me for what I'm going to
do."
Tina looked at Jean and continued, "This house is a wedding gift I bought for Terence and Julia. Now
that they are divorced, I'm going to sell it. I don't want to hold on to the unpleasant memories here. Miss
Gu, please move out as soon as possible. We don't want anything unhappy to happen."
Jean knew that Tina would inevitably do this. As such, after Tina's remark, Jean did not show any
surprise. She smiled and said, "Don't worry. I will pack up tonight and move out as soon as possible."
"That's good." Tina nodded with satisfaction. "You better not be here when I come back next time!"
After Tina left the house, Jean went upstairs to pack up her things. Mandy followed Jean anxiously and
asked, "Are you truly moving out, Jean?"
"Of course." Jean nodded. Since Tina had asked her to leave, how could she stay? But it wouldn't be
easy to make her go away. "Tina thought that she could cut off my contact with Terence by driving me
away. However, by doing so, she doesn't realize that she is helping me instead."
"Why are you still so calm?" Mandy showed an anxious look. "Our asses are on the line now. Jean,
you'd better think of a way to make this right. It's already late at night. Where can we go?"
"What's the rush?" Jean gave an annoyed glance. "Didn't I help you rent an apartment before? Let's
move our things there first."
"How are you not pressured?" With a puzzled look on her face, Mandy looked at Jean. She put a
tremendous effort just to move into this house. However, Tina just asked them to leave like that.
Despite all that, Jean still looked indifferent. "How about this? I'll call Terence now. He will surely ask
you to stay. Then, we don't have to leave, right?"
"Of course I have to call him, but I'll do that after I moved out," said Jean with a mischievous grin. No
matter what Mandy said, Jean packed her things and didn't say anything else.
After packing up, Jean called a taxi. They headed to Mandy's apartment and transferred their
belongings there.
"Jean, have you made up your mind? If you finish moving out, you can no longer regret your decision,"
Mandy frowned and asked desperately. "What the hell do you want to do?"
"Don't worry. I have a plan." Jean revealed a naughty smile. If she could play her scheme well today,
her relationship with Terence would improve.
"You..."
"I'm a little hungry, Mom. Go and cook something for me," Jean interrupted Mandy.
After she confirmed that Mandy was already in the kitchen, Jean took out her phone and called
Terence. It was already eleven o'clock in the evening.
Terence picked up the phone. His husky voice came from the other end of the line. "Hello, Jean. What's
up?"
"Hi, Terence," Jean said in a soft voice. "I'm sorry to bother you at this late hour. Have you already
gone to bed?"
"Not yet." Terence's voice came through the phone with his unique charm. "Why are you calling so
late? Is it something important?"
"Well, not necessarily important." Jean looked around the apartment. It was clean and tidy, but it was
too small. Fortunately, she just needed to stay here for a while and wouldn't live there forever. "I just
called to tell you that I have moved out of your house."
As soon as Jean finished her words, Terence raised his voice. "What? How can you say that's not
important? Why did you move out all of a sudden?"
"Nothing," Jean answered softly. "I'm calling to tell you that I put the key on the shoe cabinet at the
door. Remember to put it away if you go there next time.
It's already late. You should go to bed." After such words, she was about to hang up the phone.
"Hold on!" Terence stopped Jean. "Where do you live now?"
"I've rented an apartment for my mother. It's okay to live here temporarily." Jean faked a sad attitude.
"Don't worry about me. I'm fine."
"I don't get it! What happened? Why did you suddenly move out?" With a frown, Terence wanted to
know why. However, Jean didn't answer his questions.
After hanging up the phone, Terence felt something was wrong. He called Mandy and asked her what
happened. She told him everything that Jean taught her in advance. "Terence, you see, we have
troubled you for a long time. Don't worry about us. We're going to be fine."
She continued in a warm tone, "Your mother did this because she is also worried about you. We can
understand."
The more concession Mandy and Jean made, the more apologetic Terence felt. After promising to
solve the problem, he reluctantly hung up the phone.
Many gave Jean a worried look. "Are you sure about this? Will it work? What if it doesn't work?"
"Just wait and see." Jean smiled mysteriously.
