Starting with taking in female college students

Ni Youlin seemed to have anticipated that her bank card would be frozen, or that she would lose her source of income.

Chen Rang was quite surprised by the calmness on her face, finding it hard to understand why this girl still had the mood to worry about breaking the contract. She didn't think about what she would do if she ran out of money; she only felt guilty for taking up Aunt Xie's time. She even asked Chen Rang to contact Aunt Xie and tell her not to come back tomorrow.

She also earnestly asked Chen Rang to apologize to Aunt Xie on her behalf, and took all the blame upon herself.

Her calmness surprised Chen Rang greatly.

Chen Rang even suspected that Ni Youlin's living conditions might be worse than he knew or imagined.

Following Ni Youlin's instructions, he sent a message to Aunt Xie.

While waiting for a reply, Chen Rang inquired about Ni Youlin's specific situation. When he learned that this bank card was Ni Youlin's only bank card and that she didn't have even a single yuan in cash on her, Chen Rang was utterly speechless.

He cursed under his breath, finding Ni Youlin's father's actions utterly incomprehensible.

Not only are they mistreating their daughter, but they're also secretly freezing her financial resources. This is undoubtedly pushing her towards a dead end, or even worse.

It's important to understand that for a girl who has just started university, both living expenses and tuition fees will be a significant expense. Simply as a student, it would be difficult for Ni Youlin to support herself while maintaining her studies and covering all other living expenses.

Especially given her introverted personality, her situation will only worsen. There's a high probability she'll be forced to drop out of school or helplessly endure hunger until something truly terrible happens.

And this... is definitely not how a normal father would treat his own daughter.

Chen Rang's opinion of this Mr. Ni, whom he had never met, was getting worse and worse. He now felt that this person was a real scoundrel.

Wasn't Ni Youlin's birth a result of his own inability to control his lust? Raising and caring for Ni Youlin is his responsibility and obligation; but his current actions seem to indicate that he has no intention of fulfilling his duties.

"..."

Ni Youlin listened to Chen Rang's accusations, keeping her head down and remaining silent. Faced with Chen Rang's repeated questioning, she only shook her head and remained silent, her mood becoming increasingly depressed.

"Let's go to your house and ask!"

Chen Rang couldn't bear to see her like this, so he took the initiative to make the decision for her.

Because he knew this matter had to be clarified and resolved. Otherwise, given Ni Youlin's increasingly worse condition, no one knew what even more heinous things that bastard might do to her in the future.

"No...can I not go?"

Ni Youlin looked up with a pleading expression.

But seeing Chen Rang's serious expression and furrowed brows, she cowered back. Seeing Chen Rang hurriedly closing the shop, she stood obediently under the eaves, motionless.

Chen then called a ride-hailing car and arrived at the most bustling area of ​​the city according to the address given by Ni Youlin.

The ride-hailing car stopped at the entrance of a residential complex called Dihao Guoyuan. After Chen Rang got out of the car, he saw Ni Youlin sitting motionless in the back seat, so he forcibly dragged her out.

Turning around to observe the neighborhood, Chen Rang suddenly remembered something: Emperor Garden seemed to be the most luxurious villa area in Sarawak.

While towering buildings dominate the surrounding landscape, residents here enjoy incredibly valuable land and a pristine private environment enveloped in lush greenery. The villas are spaced far apart, offering enviable privacy and living conditions. Outside the community, a wide variety of upscale shops are available, including Pilates and yoga studios – finds unique to this area in Sarawak.

Yet this person, living in such a place, cut off his own daughter's financial support; he's worse than an animal.

Chen Rang cursed twice, just like someone who hated the rich.

"Ms. Ni, welcome home."

As soon as Ni Youlin arrived at the entrance of the residential area, she was greeted and welcomed by the security guard at the guard post.

As a hallmark of luxury residential communities, the property security here is naturally comprehensive and professional. They remember the details of each villa's residents and greet them warmly when they return.

However, Chen Rang noticed a detail: the young security guard's gaze towards Ni Youlin carried a hint of amusement. It seemed he was well aware of, or rather, had some guess about, Ni Youlin's current situation, hence the mocking look in his eyes.

This made Chen Rang's heart sink.

Judging from the security guard's attitude, he already knew one thing: the Ni family's attitude towards Ni Youlin was likely undisguised. Given this situation, today's trip was unlikely to yield any of the results he desired.

However, we still have to try before we can give up.

Chen Rang sighed and, at the security guard's request, registered at the guard post.

After he went inside, he called out to Ni Youlin and then slowly followed her inside.

The two walked in silence for ten minutes before Ni Youlin led Chen Rang to the entrance of the villa at the very back of the residential complex, the most secluded and private one. Beautiful lawns, gardens, and shady trees lined both sides, and the nearest neighbor was just over a hundred meters away—a truly excellent location.

Ni Youlin lowered her head and stopped at the garden gate outside the villa.

"Is this the place?"

Chen Rang stood outside the small garden and looked inside, but didn't see anyone. However, he noticed that the garage next to the villa was completely filled with two black sedans. By the most basic deduction, this meant the homeowner most likely hadn't driven out.

This time, I shouldn't be unable to see anyone at all.

Relieved, Chen Rang stepped forward and rang the doorbell when he saw that Ni Youlin was still looking down and not planning to take the initiative.

It's even the piano-sound model.

When that sound rang out, Ni Youlin's body visibly tensed up. She lowered her head and buried it in her chest, her hands gripping the hem of her clothes tightly.

This makes it seem as if they are about to face some kind of monstrous flood.

About half a minute later, the video intercom system on the doorbell lit up, and a middle-aged woman who looked to be in her forties appeared in the video.

"You're looking for... um?"

Upon seeing Chen Rang, she frowned slightly and asked softly. But before she could finish speaking, she saw Ni Youlin behind Chen Rang with her head down, and her expression immediately turned serious.

"Come on in!"

Without asking any more questions, the woman hung up the call. With a 'ding', the garden gate slowly opened automatically. Even though the sun was shining brightly, Chen Rang suddenly felt as if the gate to a dragon's lair had been opened.

Let's go!

Now that things had come to this, Chen Rang turned around, called out to Ni Youlin, and walked in on his own.

Ni Youlin obediently followed.

The beautiful garden seemed to stretch on endlessly. Chen Rang glanced back at the slowly closing gate behind him. He had no intention of backing down now; he was determined to get to the bottom of things.

As for whether to seek justice for Ni Youlin, he would have to wait and see before making a decision, since he really knew too little about the inside story.

What exactly is going on with the Ni family?

Chen Rang was very curious.

He led Ni Youlin to the villa's main gate, only to find it still tightly closed, with no one coming out to greet them, which seemed to represent the other party's silent attitude.

Chen Rang knocked on the door without hesitation. The loud knocking startled Ni Youlin, who quickly looked up to try and stop him. But when she heard a crisp click from inside the door, she quickly lowered her head again.

The door opened quickly, as if the other person had been standing on the other side of the door all along.

Chen Rang could see the other person clearly.

This is a lady with a very classy demeanor and attire. Her elegance is so refined that she doesn't even need to use gestures or words to convey it. In short, she is the kind of woman whose wealth is immediately apparent.

Normally, Chen Rang would have admired or even envied this kind of wealthy life. But seeing the woman's expressionless face and furrowed brows, all he felt was contempt.

Are there any wealthy women in this world who would plan to drive their daughters to suicide? Does someone who does such a thing deserve to be called a wealthy woman?

"Is there something you need?"

The woman didn't even glance at Ni Youlin, but instead stared at Chen Rang with a stern face, giving him a slight look.

"Excuse me, I need to speak with Mr. Ni, Ni Youlin's father, about something. Is he home? I need to discuss some matters with him in person."

Chen Rang decided to find the person in charge first.

"Looking for my husband? He went to Shanghai last week and won't be back for a while. Just tell me what's wrong! If it's about Ni Youlin, I, as her mother, am handling all her affairs."

The woman spoke calmly, her tone only indifferent and cold.
