Fu Ya did not look at Fu Cheng and simply replied calmly. “I already made plans to move out on my own a long time ago. It has nothing to do with your family.”
Fu Cheng pondered briefly and then understood the reason. He knew exactly why his cousin wanted to move out.
She wanted to move away from his territory and out of his control.
Not in this lifetime.
“Considering the tiny amount of money you make at the Chinese pharmacy, you can’t even feed yourself, let alone find your own place. Do you have to make my parents worry? You are a grown woman, so you have to think more carefully,” said Fu Cheng calmly.
“You don’t have to worry about that.” Fu Ya’s voice sounded unperturbed. She turned to look at Mr. and Mrs. Fu. She said, “Please don’t try to stop me. My mind’s made up.”
She stood up and nodded slightly. After leaving the dining hall, she went upstairs.
Mrs. Fu snapped out of her shock. “I wonder what’s gotten into her.”
Fu Cheng narrowed his eyes without listening to his mother. He stood up and said, “I will go talk to her.”
Fu Cheng went upstairs and knocked on Fu Ya’s door.
Fu Ya was packing her things. When she heard someone knocking on the door, she stopped what she was doing, walked over to the door, and opened it. The moment she saw Fu Cheng standing outside, she was completely unsurprised.
Fu Cheng glanced at his cousin before looking inside her room. He looked at the open suitcase behind her before he said, “Are you so sure you can survive on your own away from the family?”
Now that no one else was present, Fu Cheng did not even bother smiling at her. Fu Ya leaned against the door lazily. “I hate to say this, but I can.”
Fu Cheng scoffed. His cousin was a complete hypocrite, so he did not take her seriously. “Do you think you can run away from everything just by moving out of the residence? Get this straight! Don’t even think about it! The moment I send the word, your life in the capital will become pure hell.”
“Sounds impressive.” Fu Ya nodded sarcastically. She was unafraid of Fu Cheng. She sighed as she said, “Sadly, I don’t get scared easily.”
Fu Cheng shook his head. He could not be bothered wasting his time talking to her, so he simply said, “I will take it that this was just a pure mistake on your part. From now on, if I ever hear about you moving again, don’t blame me for coming down hard.”
He paused briefly before he calmed down and tried to convince her to stay again. “Even if you don’t care about me, shouldn’t you consider my parents’ feelings? They treat you like their biological daughter. Won’t you feel bad about leaving them? Can’t you see how upset they are?” There was finally some change in Fu Ya’s nonchalant expression. She hated it when Fu Cheng used his parents to make her feel guilty.
Fu Ya pressed her forehead. She gradually stood up and looked at Fu Cheng coldly. “This is the last time I will compromise because of your parents.”
Fu Cheng smiled on hearing this. He just knew his cousin was doing this for the sake of attention. In the end, she was unable to leave.
It was only natural for him to look down on people like her. They were simply too pretentious. Just as Fu Cheng was pondering in disdain, Fu Ya spoke again.
“Of course, it still means I will move out.” Fu Ya retrieved a bottle of pills from her pocket and rubbed it gently between her fingers.
The moment Fu Cheng saw the bottle, he knew what it was. He narrowed his eyes.. “What do you want?”
