It was nighttime.


    After Mia (Liu Manqiong) finished arranging the daily necessities she had just purchased, she and Sister Xian made their way back to Zijin Vi.


    Both Qiu Yingshan and his wife were thrilled to learn that Mia (Liu Manqiong) had secured a job, prompting them to ask the servant to prepare a refined celebration banquet at home in her honor.


    To Qiu Yingshan’s surprise, Lin Wan’er (ni), who typically shunnedrge gatherings, was unusually enthusiastic about joining the festivities.


    During the dinner, Qiu Yingshan turned to Mia (Liu Manqiong) and said, “Mia, if you n to work in Aurous Hill regrly, feel free to stay at Zijin Vi whenever you need. I can have Axian arrange a spacious room for you!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Mia (Liu Manqiong) quickly replied, “Grandpa Qiu, this afternoon, Sister Xian helped me buy a house in Aurous Hill, and the school will provide me with a one-person apartment in the future.”<fn2531> Th? link to the orig?n of this information r?sts ?n find?novel</fn2531>


    Qiu Yingshan was taken aback, “You’ve already purchased a house? Living outside is certainly safer than staying here. Plus, with A Xian looking after it, it would be more convenient for you.”


    Old Lady Qiu chimed in, agreeing, “Indeed, Mia. Living here would save you a lot of hassle. You probably don’t have any rtives or friends in Aurous Hill aside from us. My dear, I do worry about you living on your own.”


    Mia (Liu Manqiong) reassured them, “Themunity I bought into has excellent security, and thew and order on the maind is much better than that of Hong Kong Ind. Besides, no one here knows my identity, so I should be safe.”


    Seeing that she was resolute, Qiu Yingshan nodded and said, “From now on, you’ll reside in Aurous Hill permanently. If you ever need assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out to us. Sister Xian is here for you too.”


    He continued, “I n to bring over some people from Mysia in theing days to ensure a swift response in case of any issues.”


    Currently, Lin Wan’er (ni) had no manpower avable; only a loyal old servant remained, who hadn’t yet arrived in the country. The rest were individuals like Sun Zhidong and Qiu Yingshan.


    To ensure Lin Wan’er (ni)’s safety, Qiu Yingshan and Sun Zhidong had agreed to discreetly deploy personnel to Aurous Hill in the near future.


    Given that Mia (Liu Manqiong) was Qiu Yingshan’s granddaughter, he felt it was his duty to look out for her well-being.


    Although Mia (Liu Manqiong) believed she would be safe, she expressed her gratitude to Qiu Yingshan, saying, “Thank you, Grandpa Qiu!”


    At that moment, Lin Wan’er (ni) asked with curiosity, “Sister Mia, where did you buy your house?”


    Mia (Liu Manqiong) answered, “I purchased a ce in Tangchen Yipin in Aurous Hill. It’s not too far from the school, just a ten-minute drive.”


    Lin Wan’er (ni) paused in surprise, murmuring, “Tangchen Yipin…”


    Since discovering Charlie’s other identity in Aurous Hill, Lin Wan’er (ni) was already aware of his address, but she hadn’t anticipated that Mia (Liu Manqiong) would also choose to buy in the same neighborhood.


    However, it made sense upon reflection; after all, Mia (Liu Manqiong) hade to Aurous Hill for Charlie, so it was natural for her to select a home near where he lived.


    Thinking Lin Wan’er (ni) was interested in her new house, Mia (Liu Manqiong) offered, “If you’re curious, I’d be happy to show you around. The house isn’t veryrge, but the river view is quite nice.”


    Lin Wan’er (ni) smiled and replied, “Sister Mia, I’ll join you once school starts. Lately, I’ve been feelingzy and prefer staying home.”


    Lin Wan’er (ni) was hesitant about visiting Tangchen Yipin.


    After all, it was too close to Charlie.


    Even though she hade to Aurous Hill solely because of him, the thought of encountering Charlie before school started filled her with trepidation.


    Noticing Lin Wan’er (ni)’s reluctance, Mia (Liu Manqiong) thought nothing of it and simply smiled, saying, “If you don’t want toe back here too often after school begins, I can reserve a room for you.”


    After dinner, Mia (Liu Manqiong) said her goodbyes to Qiu Yingshan, his wife, and Lin Wan’er (ni), while Sister Xian took her back to Tangchen Yipin.


    Upon arriving at her first house in Aurous Hill, Mia (Liu Manqiong) felt a sense of tranquility wash over her.
