Only then did Xiangzi react. He quickly shook his head to get rid of these thoughts, walked to the edge of the crowd grabbing lunch boxes, and tried to squeeze in but still failed.
By the time we were able to squeeze in, the half-price fried chicken bento boxes had already been snapped up, leaving only the 30%-off sushi bento boxes, which were more expensive and of lower quality overall.
If I buy this bento, I might not have enough money left for beer.
Looking at the beer in his hand, Xiangzi frowned.
But reality did not allow Xiangzi to think too much. Even though the lunch box was at a 30% discount, it was still the target of everyone's competition.
Xiangzi didn't think any more and immediately took out two lunch boxes.
Looking at the price on the label and adding the price of the beer, she calculated it several times, then opened her wallet and counted all her money several times. Finally, she sighed and confirmed the fact.
My current self is not enough to pay for two lunch boxes and the beer that my asshole dad needs.
In the end, Xiangzi put the beer back into the refrigerator, and then took the two lunch boxes to the front desk to pay.
“Welcome next time.”
In response to the clerk's smile and words, Xiangzi simply nodded in greeting and was in no mood to say goodbye to him.
Carrying his lunch box and walking out of the supermarket, Xiangzi walked towards the station following his muscle memory, while his mind was planning what he was going to do.
The first thing is to study. It is best to study for a while after returning. As long as you can get a scholarship, your life will be a little more comfortable.
Then there are water and electricity bills, which must be paid in advance, and don't wait until the bill is posted on your door.
besides......
Xiangzi got on and off the tram, thinking about these things as he walked to the door of the small house he rented with his father.
Seeing a luxurious Maybach parked in front of the door, Xiangzi opened his eyes wide and held the plastic bag containing his lunch box a little tighter.
Xiangzi understood the other party's identity and could easily guess the other party's purpose of coming here.
At this moment, two men in black wearing suits and sunglasses got out of the car. One of them was saying something into the walkie-talkie, and the other was walking towards Xiangzi.
Xiangzi frowned and stared at the man walking towards her.
"What are you doing here? I am no longer a member of the Toyokawa family."
Hearing Xiangzi's words, the man in black did not seem surprised, nor did he agree with Xiangzi's words. Instead, he spoke up,
"I am just here to relay the words of the Patriarch,"
Xiangzi pursed her lips tightly. She knew what the other party was going to say without even thinking.
The man in black said what Xiangzi had thought,
"Miss, it's time to go home."

"Miss, it's time to go home."
The man in black with a neat ponytail said this to Xiangzi in front of him.
"I won't go back."
Xiangzi took a deep breath and clenched his fists.
"I will not go back to the Toyokawa family like this."
"Is there anything about the Toyokawa family that cannot satisfy the young lady?"
The man in black with a ponytail turned around, lip-synced with the man in black standing next to the car, and continued to ask Xiangzi,
"This is also the question the Patriarch has always wanted to ask."
When Xiangzi heard the other party's question, he pursed his lips and was unwilling to answer.
The man in black with a ponytail seemed to have known Xiangzi's reaction in advance and quickly made the next decision.
So she continued to ask,
"Is it because of your father?"
Seeing that Xiangzi had some reaction, she continued to pursue the victory.
"The head of the family said that your father resigned and left the family because of poor decision-making that caused the company to lose over 168 billion yen."
"Isn't there the Toyokawa family secretly instigating this?"
Xiangzi asked in return,
"My father wouldn't be so easily depressed,"
Xiangzi's voice became lower and lower as he spoke, and it was obvious that he had lost his confidence.
"Mother said that honesty is her virtue."
The man in black with a single ponytail answered Xiangzi's question seriously.
"Whether the Toyokawa family contributed to the situation is a matter of opinion."
The man in black with a single ponytail remained calm, his hands placed neatly in front of him.
"But causing the company to lose 168 billion and not burdening your father with debt is the best outcome for him."
"Your father voluntarily took responsibility and left the family."
Hearing this, Xiangzi frowned.
"Then I will also follow my father voluntarily. Since you don't care about my father, you don't need to care about me either."
The black-clad person with a single ponytail raised her eyebrows slightly and lip-synced with the black-clad person behind her. When the other person started talking on the intercom, she turned her head again.
"You are different from your father. You are of the orthodox Toyokawa family. If you return to the Toyokawa family, the head of the family will train you and inherit the Toyokawa family's fortune."
Hearing this, which was the same as what Grandpa said when he left Toyokawa's house, Xiangzi sighed.
"My mother passed away a long time ago, and I don't want my father to leave me again."
Hearing this, the man in black with a ponytail frowned slightly, but quickly adjusted his composure.
At this time, the man in black beside the car walked up to the girl with a single ponytail, covered his mouth with his hand, and said something in her ear.
The girl with a single ponytail raised her eyebrows slightly and nodded gently, and the other man in black left.
Xiangzi frowned as he watched the two talking, waiting for the next words of persuasion from the other party.
But the man in black with a ponytail just bowed slightly to her.
"You don't have to go back to the Toyokawa family, but the head of the family said he didn't want you to suffer, so he asked us to send some necessary things. After all, you didn't bring any luggage with you when you left the Toyokawa family."
"Those items have been placed in the room. If you feel they are not enough, please contact us."
Before Xiangzi could get a reply from Si Mingwu, the man in black got in the car and left.
Watching the Maybach leave, Xiangzi said nothing. Listening to the sound of the car engine gradually fading away, she remained silent and walked into the building carrying two lunch boxes.
He wanted to push the door open with one hand, but it was stuck. Xiangzi had to put his lunch box on the ground and lift the door up a little before he could open it smoothly.
When I walked into the room, the cans that were all over the floor before I went to school in the morning were gone. Instead, there was a spotless floor, which had obviously been cleaned by someone.
Looking at the clean ground, Xiangzi suddenly didn't know where to put his feet.
After taking a deep breath, Xiangzi finally took off his shoes, put them neatly in place, and walked into the room.
When he walked into the hall, Xiangzi saw two beautifully packaged wooden boxes on a small table nearby. He frowned slightly, walked over and knelt beside the small table, placing the lunch box he had bought on the table.
After opening the wooden box, she found that it contained the dishes she used to love to eat. Looking at these dishes, she did not feel any appetite. She just closed it gently and walked into the kitchen.
Walking to the kitchen, Xiangzi placed the two lunch boxes next to the sink.
Looking at the clean sink and the brand new windows, she pursed her lips and said nothing.
She looked up at the ceiling again. The spider webs that she had not had time to clean because she was going to school were no longer visible.
Xiangzi still had a cold face as he walked to his father's door. Through the shadow of the door, he could see his father lying on his side.
Xiangzi could already imagine the spotless scene inside, so he put down his hand that was about to open the door, turned his head to look to the side, and found a dozen unopened new beers in front of his father's door.
His fingers trembled slightly, Xiangzi suppressed his emotions and returned to his room.
As she expected, Xiangzi's own room was also cleaned thoroughly, and even the bedding on the tatami was replaced with new ones.
Fortunately, the other party humanely replaced the bedding with affordable ones instead of the luxurious ones we sleep on at home.
Should I feel lucky?
Xiangzi gave a bitter smile, stood in front of the tatami for a while, then turned around and opened the wardrobe.
There were plenty of new clothes in the closet, and Xiangzi could see the labels were still on.
There were also some clothes from when he was at Toyokawa's house, and Xiangzi looked through them again, even finding his own Tsuki no Mori school uniform.
Maybe they were negligent and the bottom of the wardrobe was not cleaned, and there was still a thin layer of dust.
Xiangzi didn't dust herself off and sat down at the bottom of the wardrobe. However, because of the clothes behind her, she could only bend over, lean forward, hug her legs, and bury her head in her knees.
If you must say, this is one of the few places in this house that has not been touched by the Toyokawa family.
Hugging his knees, Xiangzi looked at everything in the room and couldn't help sobbing softly.
What is the purpose of all these efforts along the way?
Is everything I do just playing house in their eyes?
Xiangzi pursed his lips tightly, but tears still fell out.
She began to understand that Senior Yamada's respectful attitude towards her was due to pressure from the Toyokawa family.
If it weren't for this job, Xiangzi probably wouldn't even be able to afford to go to school, let alone support an adult man.
If it weren't for the Toyokawa family, Toyokawa Qinggao wouldn't even be able to drink tonight.
Xiangzi remembered what Youren said.
The Toyokawa family hasn't gone bankrupt yet, right?
She laughed at herself, sobbed twice more, wiped the tears from her face, and buried her head a little deeper.
Xiangzi never really left the Toyokawa family.
Xiangzi's surname will always be Fengchuan.
Thinking of this, Xiangzi thought of crychic's happy past.
I decided to quit crychic because I left the Toyokawa family and could no longer continue playing in the band.
Even if it means hurting the people around him, Xiangzi still wants to maintain his self-esteem.
Because this was the only thing she had left after leaving the Toyokawa family.
Only with this pride in her heart could she gradually transform from a young lady who had never done housework to Xiangzi who could make a living by working part-time.
As long as she maintains the pride in her heart, she can grit her teeth and persevere no matter what difficulties she encounters.
But only now did she truly realize that she had never really left the Toyokawa family, and that all the results she thought she had achieved through her own efforts were charity from the Toyokawa family.
Xiangzi tried his best, even at the cost of hurting his friends who cared about him, but his humble self-esteem was now shattered.
The poor excuses that she used to use to justify hurting her friend could no longer cover Xiangzi's eyes and allow her to immerse herself in her own world.
The accumulated feelings of regret and guilt for hurting his former friend began to impact Xiangzi's heart.
At this moment, her pride could not protect her.
At this time, Xiangzi once again remembered what Youren said, stood up, patted the dust on his skirt, and took a deep breath.
Even if it was just to reassure herself, she had to explain to her former crychic teammates why she left the team.
Anyway, I have nothing left.
Xiangzi walked to the bed and sighed softly.
