Jiang Duo didn't want to go back to the Nan family. She hid from the Nan couple and even if she encountered them, she would just say a few words and refuse to go back with them.

The Nan couple had no other way and decided to buy a new house for Jiang Duo. The daughter that they loved for all these years was not theirs and even tried to kill their real daughter.

They were not kind people. They would definitely love their own children more.

Jiang Duo failed to dissuade the Nan couple. She was also afraid that they would continue disturbing her and she didn't know how to interact with them. Hence, she had no choice but to accept the new house.

The Nan couple understood Jiang Duo. They weren't by her side all these years and it would be impossible for her to be close to them suddenly.

However, Jiang Duo didn't move into the new house and chose to stay where she was.

"This house was left behind by my adoptive father. He didn't have any children and left this house to me after he passed away." Jiang Duo cooked and spoke to Ming Shu, who was stealing the food. "You can stop eating. I still need these ingredients later."

"Delicious." Ming Shu stole another bite and muttered, "Was he very good to you?"

"Yes." Jiang Duo's face was filled with yearning. "He was really good to me. His ancestors were all chefs and I even heard that they worked in the royal palace in the past. My cooking skills were all taught by my adoptive father."

Jiang Duo was proud when she said this.

Then, she sighed. If her adoptive father were not so stubborn, he would have been able to live more comfortably. However, she respected him because of his stubbornness.

Ming Shu suddenly realized something. "What about your adoptive mother?" Delicious food needs to be passed down, too.

"She..." Jiang Duo sighed. "She left my adoptive father because he was poor and she was also unable to bear him any children. After that, my adoptive father never remarried and raised me up alone.

"She came to my adoptive father's funeral. She seems to be having a good life and even has her own children..." Jiang Duo shook her head. "Xiao Li, what about your parents?"

She never heard her talk about them before.

"My mother married Qin Che's father."

"What about your father?"

Ming Shu thought for a while. "He died when I was very young."

She heard that it was because of an accident. The He family needed an heir then and hence, she took on her mother's surname.

"Ah, Xiao Li, you ate finish everything!" Jiang Duo's scream ended the conversation.

Ming Shu ran out of the kitchen and left Jiang Duo alone talking to herself.

Ming Shu didn't want to go back to the Qin family's house and decided to stay with Jiang Duo.

She could eat the food made by Jiang Duo everyday and it made her feel like a winner in life.

Jiang Duo stopped working at Shen Yuanzhao's company, too. She didn't know what to do and started worrying when she had no money.

Although Ming Shu gave a sizable sum for her living expenses as well as "salary" and "rent," she couldn't rely on this to make a living. She needed to find a job.

However, she didn't manage to find any.

"Be a food streamer." Ming Shu pointed to the camera on her cellphone with a bright gaze. "Contribute for the sake of food, my girl!"
