Capítulo 17: Who Should Be Grateful To Who?
The staff from the Bureau didn't waste time in grabbing Zhu Fan and dragging him out of the hall.
With their son gone, the Zhu Family couldn't stay there to get embarrassed, and they all left after shooting hateful glares at Zhao Xinyi.
Yu Lan also stood up, wanting to rush after her boyfriend. However, her father pulled her down with a stern face.
"What do you think you are doing?" It was clear to see that Zhu Fan's future was already bleak.
Being taken by the Bureau of Security, it would be a miracle if his Value Points were deducted. But even if he had his Value Points, he didn't have anything more to offer.
Yu Lan's eyes teared up, but she didn't make any attempt to stand up anymore.
In front of the hall, the host called the major organisers for the awarding ceremony.
Since Zhao Xinyi was the owner of the work, she was called on the stage last as the winner.
"Miss Zhao Mei, it's good that the Bureau of Security saved you. As the rightful owner of the work, you will be awarded with 25,000 Value Points!"
The hall broke out with murmurs, and many people sighed in envy.
Anyone in Level One had 10,000 Value points. To enter Level Two, the person needed to have 30,000 Value points.
As for Level Three, the person needed to have 60,000 Value Point!
With the Value Points from the competition alone, it was enough to be in Level Two.
Zhao Xinyi also revealed a satisfied smile. It was not enough to take her away from District One, but it was progress!
She had after all, only spent three days here.
She walked forward to collect the slip. In the other Districts, every individual had an identity card that was also used for transactions involving Value Points.
But in the first District, the Bureau of Security handled any transaction involving Value Points.
After taking the slip, the organisers didn't announce the amount she won in cash price but also passed a cheque to her.
When Zhao Xinyi saw it, her black eyes lit up. This amount to her in the previous life was a small amount. But to the current her was a lot!
After the award ceremony, the host stepped up again and closed the program.
Subconsciously, Zhao Xinyi glanced at the corner of the hall where that man had gone to sit down. However, it was empty!
Somehow, he had stepped out of the hall during the awarding of the rewards.
Since nothing was binding them together anymore, Zhao Xinyi didn't think too much of it and went outside the hall with the crowd.
"Xiao Mei!" Two voices echoed at the same time.
Zhao Xinyi's brows crinkled at the familiar voice.
Yu Gang was the first to reach her, and he opened his arms, attempting to pull her into a hug. However, Zhao Xinyi stepped aside, dodging the hug.
Father Yu's face flushed with embarrassment, but thinking of the benefits she had just obtained, he said nothing and still maintained a warm smile.
"Xiao Mei, congratulations! Who would have thought that the stars would still align in our favour?"
Zhao Xinyi said nothing and gave him a stiff smile.
"Father, I will meet you at home. I want to report to the Bureau Of Security."
On hearing that, Father Yu's scheming eyes shined and he nodded eagerly.
"Let Father take you there!"
Zhao Xinyi stepped backwards subtly. "There's no need to accompany me, the weather is cool and I'd rather take a walk there."
Father Yu frowned, and his shrewd mind was working at high speed.
"You don't want our help now that you have won?" His wife joined in the conversation.
Her voice wasn't low, and the people leaving also slowed down so they could eavesdrop on them.
Zhao Xinyi shot a knowing look at Father Yu before replying.
"I'm the one that should be asking that. Although you adopted me, when have you treated me like your daughter? My education was taken care of by the government."
"Also, didn't you see the evidence released by the Bureau Of Security? Although I built the software that our family lives on, whether it is money or Value Points, I don't receive either from your family or three…."
Seeing that she was going to expose everything, Father Yu stepped forward anxiously.
"Xiao Mei, don't mind your mother. You can take a walk!"
He instantly regretted allowing his wife to step forward.
Because of Zhao Mei's character, he had felt that using his wife to pressure her was going to help him follow her to the Bureau.
But who would expect that she would act out of character?
"I don't want to take a walk. Up until today, didn't they want me to give up? Wasn't it your daughter that gave Zhu Fan my computer? If I didn't get lucky, would either of you have stepped forward to help me get justice?"
"Before you paint me as ungrateful, you better think deeply about who should be grateful to who!"
After saying her piece, Zhao Xinyi walked away, leaving the three of them with flushed and embarrassed appearances.
Even if she didn't say everything they had done for her, the little bit was more than enough for people around to understand something.
The Yu Family had certainly not been treating her well all these years!
That was Zhao Xinyi's plan.
She would have to work hard and think of different methods to leave the 1st District. If she was still staying with them, doing all of those things would be difficult.
It was better to break ties with them.
Although it wasn't completely broken now, she had dealt a blow to them.
Satisfied, she walked to the Bureau of Security.
As it was one of the most important places in the 1st District, it was in the city centre and wasn't too far away from the District Hall.
