Leaving the Han House

Steward Han walks to the front door the moment he hears Jiang Yuan arguing with Han Qilu. He steps forth hurriedly to end their argument, and figuring out why Xiaoxia had to confess. “Madame, it’s all a misunderstanding. Miss Basa Li, she… .”
“It’s alright. Explain to ma what happened. I’m going to the car.” An Chuxia bites her lower lip as she heads toward the car when Han Qilu rushes to her and grabs her wrist.
Ling Hanyu, who has been standing beside her, strolls toward them while pursing his lips. “Yo, yo, yo. Is young master Han reluctant to let her go? If you’re reluctant, why did you bring
that other woman to your house?”
Qilu shoots Hanyu a hard look as his grip on An Chuxia’s wrist tightens. “I’m doing this for the Han name. But I’ll never marry Basa Li.”
An Chuxia straightens her back and turns to look back. She spots Basa Li leaving the front door. Basa Li’s physique is perfect in carrying the Stein college uniform. Compared to her, An Chuxia looks like a rag doll.
She slowly raises her chin. “This has little to do with me. Moreover, I don’t have much time. Can you let go of my hand?”
Earlier, he scolds Xiaoxia for gossiping about Basa Li. Does that mean he cares about her just a bit? That’s the only reason he’d back her,
her, right? He may claim he’s doing this for the Han name, but no matter what, hasn’t he already blemished the family name?*
She immediately breaks free the moment his grip loosens. As she turns away, she sees Jiang Yuan cry. Chuxia follows Kuni to the car in the center of the line, and gets in.
Ling Hanyu’s eyes light up when he sees An Chuxia sitting in his car. He pats Han Qilu on the shoulder and says, “Rest assured, brother. You can entrust her to me. Until you deal with that foreigner, I won’t be returning her.”
“You dare?” Han Qilu raises his chin to Ling Hanyu. “Get in the car, you brat! The test has been moved half an hour
an hour early and it will take forever to get into the city. Don’t be late. The exam starts at eight!”
Ling Hanyu salutes, despite the complex gaze. He puts the car in reverse, leaving the other five cars at the Han’s main gate, and disappearing from their eyes.
Jiang Yuan weeps slowly as she watches the car disappear. She leans on Xiaoxia’s shoulder. She knows she’ll eventually be back, but it will take days for her to adapt.
Xiaoxia raises her hand and pats Jiang Yuan on the back while she stares at Basa Li with contempt. That woman should leave in due time! She actually dares to reprimand steward Han. Does she know that if it weren’t for him, she would’ve starved she would’ve starved to death living in the streets?
She vows that the day Basa Li leaves, she will celebrate by lighting fireworks!
Basa Li presses her lips in satisfaction the moment she sees An Chuxia gone. She sidles up to Han Qilu. “Today’s the first day of school, and I want to be assigned to your class.”
She knows Han Liuhai is Stein Royal College’s headmaster, and if she makes a request to be in his class, it shall be done.
Han Qilu spares a glance at Basa Li. Without a reply, he throws off her hand and sits inside the Bentley. Steward Han complies, and heads toward the car as well. Not waiting for a distracted Basa Li, the car zooms away.
