Chapter 5

Anyway, she would only stay for a few days...

"But you only stay for a few days. Can't you just change the bed sheets and covers? Why did you move all my stuff out?" I tried to make my tone sound mindful and euphemistic.

I didn't expect she said, "I can't stand any noise when I sleep, and I'm afraid you'll be taking things... Besides, I like to lock the door from the inside and it will be inconvenient for you to get things."

"Should I thank you?"

"There's no need for that. After all, I sleep in your room." She raised an eyebrow casually and turned around to continue moving my stuff out.

I was so speechless.

For the first time in 29 years, I feel so helpless. For the sake of her parents whom I had never met, I was picking my nails out of my palms for putting up with her.

I could only silently shout in my heart, "James, you're done when you come back..." However, James transferred me a lot of money to apologize. When I woke up, most of my anger had dissipated.

Since I had already taken leave, I decided to take her around as planned as a mission. She really slept until noon, and then leisurely put on a full makeup. By the time she was ready, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon.

The subway was crowded, and we had to stand for several stops before finding a seat. It wasn't long after we sat down that an elder couple got on, holding each other and walking in a hobble.

I voluntarily stood up and led the old lady to my seat, helping her to sit down. I thought that after I stood up, Aria would understand my intention and stand up to give the seat to the old man.

Unexpectedly, she ignored us and continued to watch videos on her phone. The old man stood awkwardly aside.

I couldn't bear to watch anymore, so I gently pulled her and asked her to give the seat to the old man.

Unexpectedly, she got angry and directly pushed me away, saying, "What are you doing? If you want to give up your seat, just do it. Why do you force me? I didn't sleep well last night and I'm still dizzy. I'm not in better spirits than he is."

The old man next to us didn't know that we knew each other, and when he heard this, he became unhappy. "Young lady, if you don't want to give your seat, then don't. But there's no need to speak so rudely!"

"Who said I was rude? Why should I give up my seat for you? If you can't stand, don’t come out! Why not stay at home? Why come out and cause trouble for others?" Now she stood up, pointed at the old man and cursed mercilessly, immediately attracting everyone's attention and filming. In order not to worse the impact, when the subway arrived at the station, I apologized to the old couple and quickly dragged her off the subway.

I really didn't want to argue with her in public, but I didn't expect her to take it seriously.

She grabbed me and asked me to explain what I meant just now. I told her, "As a well-educated person, you should at least understand the basic principles of respecting the elderly and caring for the young. Why are you arguing with an old person?"

She rolled her eyes and sneered. With her sunken cheeks, she looked extremely mean and sarcastic.
