Zhang Ke Ke stood at the same spot for a while before she went to buy some groceries.
Ning Meng did not follow them. Instead, she went home first.
Zhang Baofu's words made her frown.
She had to think of a way to solve the problem once and for all. Just like what Zhang Baofu had said, he would only be detained for 15 days at most. He might not be detained again, so Zhang Ke Ke would never be able to escape from that house.
Frowning, she returned home and found that Huo Beichen was already home.
After entering the house, she sat on the sofa and did not even pay attention to feeding Xiao Tiantian. Huo Beichen looked at her and frowned slightly. "What are you thinking about?"
Ning Meng raised her head and looked at him. Although he was a high school student who did not do any proper work and slept every day, she would still ask him whenever she needed help. "How do you think we should solve Zhang Ke Ke's problem?"
"There's no solution." "This is a family matter. If you were Zhang Ke Ke, what would you do?" Huo Beichen asked.
Ning Meng raised her head. "I can't call the police. I'll just f * cking beat him up until Zhang Baofu doesn't dare to do anything to me anymore!"
Huo Beichen was satisfied with her answer and nodded his head. "That's why this kind of thing happened to her and not to you."
Ning Meng immediately understood what he meant.
Everyone's life is their own choice.
It was not Zhang Ke Ke's fault that she was born into such a family. Perhaps, it was a habit that she had cultivated since she was young. She could not resist when she was young, but now that she was 18 years old, if she had a stronger personality, Zhang Baofu would not be so fearless.
At the end of the day, it was all because Zhang Keke was too weak.
Ning Meng was not sure if she would stay in the past eight years or if she would go back when she had the chance. After all, she did not exist in the world eight years later.
Therefore, she couldn't guarantee that she would always protect Zhang Keke. She had to stand on her own two feet.
Huo Beichen was indifferent to Zhang Ke Ke. It was as if he did not know her at all. After he finished speaking, he headed upstairs to the study. "I advise you not to be a busybody. Her father is capable of anything."
Provoking such a hooligan would not be easy in the future.
Ning Meng stood up. "Lord Chen, are you really not concerned?"
With his back facing her, Huo Beichen waved his hand as if it had nothing to do with him. "What does it have to do with me?"
Before entering the study, she paused at the doorway and said, "The Rain Lady has no guts."
"…"
That was not the way to use the word, she wanted to say.
But after thinking about it, he gave up.
This person was really cold-blooded. He wouldn't even lend a helping hand to his classmates.
Eight years later, Huo Beichen seemed to be indifferent to others as well. Ning Meng sighed in her heart.
At this moment, Zhang Ke Ke returned from the market.
She looked a little absent-minded. When she walked into the kitchen, she hadn't changed her shoes yet.
"Change your shoes!" Ning Meng reminded Zhang Ke Ke. Zhang Ke Ke was suddenly enlightened. She walked to the shoe cabinet and changed her shoes before heading to the kitchen.
Ning Meng walked beside her and asked, "Keke, has Zhang Baofu come out?"
Zhang Ke Ke nodded.
Ning Meng coughed again and asked, "Did he look for you?"
Zhang Ke Ke was stunned. Panic flashed across her eyes under her thick bangs. She quickly shook her head.
Ning Meng was surprised to see that she was not telling the truth.
She let out an "Oh" and watched as Zhang Keke entered the kitchen to start cooking.
Zhang Ke Ke let out a soft snort not long after he entered the room.
Ning Meng rushed into the kitchen and found that Zhang Ke Ke had cut her finger.
Ning Meng quickly pushed her out of the room. "Forget it. Let's just eat tomato egg noodles tonight. Go upstairs to treat your wounds and do your homework."
"Yes."
Zhang Ke Ke hesitated for a moment before she went upstairs.
Ning Meng sighed as she did not mention Zhang Baofu at all.
After making three bowls of noodles, the three of them finished eating. As usual, Ning Meng followed Huo Beichen to the study room and told him the main points of today's lesson.
Today, however, Ning Meng was clearly distracted. Her ears were perked up to listen to the sounds outside.
There was a secluded guest room on the second floor of Huo Beichen's house, and Zhang Ke Ke was currently staying there. She could not hear a single sound coming from the room, which made her feel uneasy.
After a while, she suddenly heard a sound coming from outside. She immediately stood up and opened the door. She saw Zhang Ke Ke carrying a cup of water downstairs. Zhang Ke Ke was shocked when she saw her, but she did not say a word. She just carried the cup of water into the room.
Ning Meng was speechless.
She returned to the study room and saw that Huo Beichen had put down his pen and was looking at her coldly. "Why don't you go to her room and wait?"
Ning Meng did not hear the bitterness in his words. Her eyes lit up. "That's true. Even if she wants to talk to me, she won't have the chance. I'll go to her room then! You can study by yourself tonight! "
After saying this, she went out again.
Huo Beichen was speechless.
Could this person not tell that he was being sarcastic? Did he not hear the sarcasm in his words?
Huo Beichen suddenly felt a wave of suffocation.
Although Zhang Ke Ke had been staying in his house, she was no different from an invisible person. Ning Meng did not even take care of her. She still let him take charge of everything.
But now!
Huo Beichen suddenly regretted letting Zhang Ke Ke stay in his house.
He kicked the study table in frustration.
Ning Meng knocked on Zhang Ke Ke's door. When she heard a soft "come in", she pushed the door open and entered. Zhang Ke Ke was sitting in front of the study table, doing her homework seriously. She did not seem to be out of place at all.
Ning Meng sighed and walked over. "Is there anything … you don't understand?"
Zhang Ke Ke raised her head in surprise and shook her head.
Ning Meng saw her like this and smiled. "Alright. You won't. Come and look for me."
"Okay."
Ning Meng paused for a while and reminded her. "You can look for me if you need anything."
"Okay."
Seeing that Zhang Ke Ke had no intention of saying anything, Ning Meng walked out.
She went back to her room and put her hands behind her head.
What did Zhang Ke Ke mean by this? Was she going to take responsibility for Zhang Baofu's trouble?
Could she take responsibility for it?
Ning Meng fell asleep as she thought about this.
When she woke up, it was already the next day. When Ning Meng walked out of her room, she saw that Zhang Ke Ke's door was open. There was a note hanging on the door.
Ning Meng frowned. When she went downstairs, she saw Huo Beichen standing at the entrance with his brows furrowed.
Ning Meng was stunned and walked over. "What's wrong?"
Huo Beichen turned his head and looked at her. "There's 500 yuan missing from my pocket."
"???"
She instinctively said, "Why are you looking at me like that? It's definitely not me …"
She paused after saying this.
There were only three people in the house. If it was not her, then …
