I will not take another step back

“What’s going on? Everything was fine this morning, wasn’t it? Where are you now?” Zhou Yuanfei asked.

“At the entrance of Zhou Yining’s school. This morning, I received a call from Tian Xue.

She said that Zhou Yining was writing love letters to boys in other classes and posting them on the school’s online forum.

I got angry and went to find her with Jiaming, but it turned out that Tian Xue lied to me. She stole Yining’s love letters and posted them.

Anyway, we had a big fight with Yining at her school. Yining’s teachers and classmates were all on her side. She said she didn’t want us as family anymore and wanted to sever ties with us.”

Zhao Xiuna cried a few more times and quickly asked, “What should we do now?”

Zhou Yuanfei was so angry that he said directly, “No way, we can’t let her go.

If we let her go, wouldn’t I have raised her for seventeen years for nothing? I’m going home now, you come back quickly too.”

After saying that, Zhou Yuanfei hung up the phone and angrily walked towards the company cafeteria.

On the other side, Jiang Xizhi thought about it and still didn’t feel at ease.

After she and Zhou Yining got into the car, she called Jiang Yueyi and asked Jiang Yueyi to dispatch two company bodyguards to avoid unnecessary accidents.

After Zhou Yining and the others got out of the car, the bodyguards sent by Jiang Yueyi also arrived.

The group quickly went up to the fifth floor.

Zhou Yining didn’t really have much to pack.

The main thing was that she had to take her newly bought laptop with her, and some of her outlines were also at home, so she needed to take them.

Besides that, some of Zhou Yining’s documents were under the bed.

When they arrived at the door of 501, Zhou Yining took out her phone.

“What’s wrong?” Jiang Xizhi asked.

“To prevent being blackmailed, please help me record a video. I’m only taking a few of my own things.”

After Zhou Yining said that, she opened the video and pressed the record button. She handed the phone to Jiang Xizhi.

Jiang Xizhi nodded and pointed the camera at Zhou Yining. Zhou Yining then took out the key and opened the door.

All five of them stood in the living room, and the house immediately seemed small.

“Zhou Zhou, where is your room?”

“Over there.” Zhou Yining pointed to the dining area on the right and then walked over.

Jiang Xizhi and Chen Yitong exchanged glances and followed her.

They saw a dilapidated single bed in the small dining area. In front of the single bed was a writing desk.

The whole space was unimaginably narrow.

Jiang Xizhi’s hand holding the phone to record the video was trembling slightly.

“You, you usually live here?”

Zhou Yining nodded. “Yes, there are only two rooms. They each have one room, and their precious darling also has one room, so I can only sleep here.”

“What kind of parents are they? This is too unfair.” Chen Yitong’s breathing rose and fell, and she was angered by the situation.

“It doesn’t matter anymore, I’ve completely given up on them.”

After saying that, Zhou Yining lifted the bed board, took out her suitcase from inside, and then put her newly bought clothes in.

She also packed her manuscripts and books and put them in the suitcase.

After closing the suitcase, Zhou Yining hung the laptop bag on the suitcase’s pull rod, and all the things were packed.

She didn’t have much in this home anyway, and there wasn’t anything to miss.

Zhou Yining packed her things and was about to leave, but as soon as she pushed the suitcase into the living room, Zhou Yuanfei came back.

He looked at Zhou Yining arrogantly, but when he saw that Zhou Yining wasn’t alone and that there were two men in suits behind her, Zhou Yuanfei restrained his anger a little.

“Yining, what are you doing? Are you really going to run away from home because of a small matter?

Your mom and brother are worried about you, you can’t treat us like this.”

Zhou Yuanfei tried to play the sympathy card to persuade Zhou Yining.

Zhou Yining snorted coldly at him, “Is this a small matter? Worried about me?

So worried that you didn’t care and went to the school gate to spread rumors about me?

Zhou Yuanfei, you don’t need to play the sympathy card with me, it doesn’t work on me. I’ve seen through what kind of people your family is long ago.”

“Zhou Yining, what do you mean?” Zhou Yuanfei became anxious.

He reached out to push Zhou Yining, but a bodyguard behind her grabbed his wrist.

“Sir, talk nicely, don’t get physical. This is a society ruled by law.”

“Where did you come from? I should be asking you, how did you strangers get into my house?” Zhou Yuanfei questioned loudly.

“They are bodyguards hired by my friends, to prevent some people from becoming desperate.

I’m a weak girl, and it’s scary to face your family of three.” Zhou Yining mocked coldly.

“You, all of you get out of here, get out of here, this is my house.” Zhou Yuanfei was about to die of anger.

He tried hard to shake off the bodyguard’s hand, but his wrist was left with red marks by the bodyguard.

Zhou Yining looked at him calmly. “Where I go has nothing to do with you.”

After saying that, Zhou Yining wanted to leave, but Zhou Yuanfei blocked her way.

“Wait, they can all leave, but not you. You are my daughter, I have the right to decide where you go!”

“You ignorant law-illiterate, the law stipulates that citizens have the right to personal freedom, which no one can violate.

Even if you are my parents, even the gods in the sky can’t control where I go.” Zhou Yining stared coldly at Zhou Jiaming and said.

At this moment, the door of 501 was opened again. Zhao Xiuna and Zhou Jiaming had both returned.

Seeing so many people standing in the house, they were both stunned.

Then Zhao Xiuna rushed up and cried at Zhou Yining.

“Yining, what are you doing with your suitcase? Are you really not going to have this home anymore?”

Zhou Yining ignored her wailing, “Yes, I don’t want this home anymore. Can you let me go?”

“Go? Okay, first pay back all the money we spent raising you for 17 years, otherwise, don’t even think about taking a step out of this house today.”

Zhou Yuanfei shouted, but he didn’t dare to take another step forward. His wrist still hurt.

Chen Yitong said,

“What’s wrong, you want to restrict Zhou Yining’s personal freedom? Then it seems that we can only call the police to solve it.”

“You call, I’m controlling my own daughter, even the police can’t control it.”

Zhou Yuanfei looked like he was in the right.

Chen Yitong nodded and called the police.

She briefly explained the situation and gave the address.

The female police officer who answered the phone was stunned for a moment before asking, “Is it Zhou Yining’s home?”

“Yes, her parents are now trying to restrict her personal freedom. I am her head teacher and I’m currently at her house.” Chen Yitong said.

“Okay, we’ll be there right away.”

Chen Yitong hung up the phone.

Zhao Xiuna was still crying and trying to persuade Zhou Yining, “Yining, you can’t be like this, you can’t be so selfish, you can’t ignore us…”

Zhou Yining looked at her coldly,

“If I were you, I would save some energy, because what you say has no effect on me at all.”

“Mom, stop talking, Zhou Yining is an ungrateful wretch, it’s useless to say anything to her.”

Zhou Jiaming’s left face was still swollen, and of course, he only dared to yell from behind Zhou Yuanfei.

More than ten minutes later, the police knocked on the door of 501.

Zhou Yuanfei couldn’t wait to open the door. As he walked towards the door, he said to Zhou Yining and the others,

“Good, the police are here, let the police judge, and see if I can control my own daughter?”

After saying that, Zhou Yuanfei opened the door arrogantly, but he was stunned as soon as he opened the door.

“Why is it you again?” Zhou Yuanfei wanted to close the door.

Ji Ying said, “We are the police in charge of this area. It’s normal for me to be dispatched. Don’t be surprised. Excuse me, let us in to handle the case.”

After saying that, Ji Ying led two colleagues around Zhou Yuanfei. She arrived in the living room, saw so many people, and said,

“What exactly is going on?”

“Officer, I am Zhou Yining’s head teacher and witnessed the whole thing. Zhou Yining’s mother first went to the school gate…”

Chen Yitong explained everything that happened today and told the police about Tian Xue and Zhou Yining.

Ji Ying nodded, “Yes, so what are your demands now?”

Zhou Yining said, “I don’t want to live in this house anymore, I want to leave here.”

Ji Ying nodded and said, “Citizens enjoy the right to personal freedom, no one can stop you from going anywhere. You can leave at any time.”

“Officer, you can’t be biased. Zhou Yining is my daughter, she can’t leave. I raised her so big, if she wants to leave, she has to pay back all the money I spent on her over the years, otherwise she is not allowed to leave this door.”

Zhou Yuanfei was about to explode with anger.

Ji Ying said calmly,

“The law has no such provision. If you want her to support you in the future, you can sue her, but she is a minor now and does not have the ability to support you, so you can consider suing her in the future.

As for not letting her go, that is impossible. If you don’t let her go, it is restricting personal freedom, and we can arrest you according to the law. You can figure it out yourself.”

“You, what kind of police are you! I want to complain about you, I want to complain about you!”

Zhou Yuanfei shouted angrily at Ji Ying.

Ji Ying remained calm. She pointed to her police number,

“You can report me at any time, that is my police number. Mr. Zhou, but I want to remind you, don’t yell at the police.

Your emotions are so agitated, I think you are suspected of assaulting the police.

Assaulting the police is an illegal and criminal act, you better correct your attitude.”

Zhou Yuanfei’s chest was blocked by Zhou Yining’s words, and he almost couldn’t breathe.

Seeing that the police didn’t buy it at all, he looked at Zhou Yining again,

“Zhou Yining, did you hear that? When you are an adult, I can sue you for paying me support fees.

If you are smart, apologize to me in front of everyone today, and I will let the matter go, otherwise, don’t blame me for taking you to court.”

“Yes, Yining, we are all family, why make it like this? Why don’t we all take a step back? There is no need to make it so obvious.”

“I have already compromised enough. From now on, I will not step back.

Zhou Yuanfei, you can sue me at any time, and have your lawyer contact me. I don’t want to hear the voice of any of you three people.”

Zhou Yining said coldly, sweeping over the three of them.
