Chapter 856 A Shadow in Red


    "Grandma, I know that and I will deal with the school affairs ordingly. Don''t worry about me."


    Raeleigh didn''t want her Grandma to worry too much, but she still told her about the people who bullied


    her in ss.


    The olddy was a reasonable woman and she understood the struggles. Her granddaughter was very


    dignified and beautiful, and was also outstanding in her studies. Not to mention in such an expensive


    school, even if it was an ordinary school, there would be a lot of bullies who picked on poor people.


    "But society is like this. There are too many frauds and scammers out there. If you don''t learn to protect


    yourself and get along well with this society, then you can''t establish a foothold in this society."


    The olddy sighed, because she did not have the ability to protect her granddaughter.


    Raeleigh held her grandmother''s arm and smiled without saying anything.


    The olddy didn''t forget Scarlette. She said, "Scarlette doesn''t look like an ordinary person. You have


    to be careful when she''s by your side. I am never wrong when ites to people, this child..."


    The olddy hesitated for a while and said, "The human heart is deep and deceitful, you should be


    more vignt."


    "Alright, Grandma." Raeleigh did not say anything more. She helped the olddy get to the nearest


    vegetable market.


    The ce was not veryrge, and the food market near her grandmother''s house was very small. So,


    she and her Grandma went in and began to choose the raw ingredients they needed to cook dinner


    that day. Raeleigh bought a fish specially for her. Throughout her life, the olddy didn''t like many


    things, with the exception of fish. She loved fish.


    Raeleigh had known that her grandmother liked eating fish since she was a child. However, she would


    always hold back, giving the fish meat to Raeleigh while she ate only the bones. Her grandmother


    would always say that Raeleigh should eat the meat, as it was nutritious, and would help in her growth


    and development. She always said that she would not let her granddaughter have stunted growth due


    to theck of nutrients.


    When she grew up, she couldn''t eat any more. Raeleigh still had 100 dors that she had saved from


    her game earnings. She bought some vegetables and fish that day. The olddy did not stop her as


    they had a guest.


    When they returned home, they found that Scarlette hadid down to sleep. Raeleigh helped her


    grandmother inside to take a seat. Seeing that Scarlette was still asleep, she went to prepare dinner on


    her own. The olddy thought to herself about Scarlette, "This child is so careless."


    She had fallen asleep while looking after the house.


    After Raeleigh finished preparing the dishes, the olddy woke Scarlette up to eat. She was still groggy


    when she opened her eyes and saw the two people in front of her. She remembered Raeleigh but the


    olddy...


    It took her quite a while to remember who the olddy was.


    "Come, eat, I don''t know what you like to eat. What do you like to eat? I''ll have Raeleigh cook it for you


    in the future when you visit here." The olddy cut her a piece of fish and Scarlette immediately handed


    her bowl and received it. No matter what was served, she would love it.


    The olddy had a good impression of Scarlette. On the way to the market earlier, Raeleigh had


    mentioned that Scarlette did not have a family as she was an orphan.


    Regardless of whether it was true or not, the child seemed alright.


    After dinner, the olddy went to watch TV. Raeleigh showed Scarlette around the ce. When they


    were about to go to bed, the two of them took out theirptop and connected it to the wi-fi hotspot from


    their cell phones and started gaming.


    "It''ste. Why don''t you rest?" The olddy had slept Tristany. She didn''t know what Raeleigh was


    doing, only that she wasn''t sleeping, so she enquired about it out of concern.


    "There is this game online where we can make money. I have yed it with Scarlette for quite some


    time now. Although it''s not much, it is enough to cover my living expenses. Grandma, you can go to


    sleep first and don''t worry about us."


    The olddy was not worried when she heard that. She knew that the child she raised was not


    someone who was addicted to games. If it weren''t for those little living expenses, then she wouldn''t


    have been bothered.


    "Go on and y, but don''t stay up toote." The olddy went back to her room to sleep. There were


    two rooms in the house. One of them was the olddy''s, and the other one was where Scarlette and


    Raeleigh slept in.


    Raeleigh''s room was not spacious, and it had been used to store some sundries.


    Normally, Raeleigh would not stay here. Even when she came back for a visit, she would just sleep


    together with her grandmother in her room. Raeleigh had told her grandmother that they did not need


    to have such a big ce. Just a room and a dining area would suffice. Her grandmother, who was


    frugal, had managed to hash it out with thendlord and rent a two-bedroom ce.


    The olddy said that Raeleigh was a grown woman and that she can''t stay with the olddy for the


    rest of her life. Besides, this was the age where she should have a boyfriend. So, what if the boyfriend


    dropped by? He would need a ce to stay too, hence the two rooms instead of one.


    In fact, the olddy also understood their condition. It was not easy for Raeleigh to find a boyfriend as


    long as she didn''t have to work and was still studying.


    It was not due to the olddy''s greed or vanity. It was because the olddy thought that Raeleigh was


    not the kind of person who would find a boyfriend casually. If the family''s conditions were poor, to put it


    bluntly, then the olddy would not be willing. Consequently, if the family''s conditions were too good,


    the olddy was worried that Raeleigh would be bullied.


    In other people''s eyes, Raeleigh might be an ordinary child, but the olddy always thought the


    opposite. So, when it came to finding a boyfriend, let alone one that had no money, even if he was rich


    and had a high status, the olddy might not be willing to let her marry him.


    The olddy was not going to hide the fact that she was a trash collector either. She neither stole nor


    did she rob, and had raised a child to adulthood depending only on the work of her own hands. She


    would think that she was better and stronger than those who made a living out of selling one''s body.


    If Raeleigh''s future boyfriend could not see this point of hers, then based on that alone, the olddy will


    not be willing to have any further discussion on the continuation of his and Raeleigh''s rtionship.


    "What does a person want to live for? It is for this speck of stubbornness. To put it inly, one needs to


    grow and have a backbone!"


    It didn''t matter if he or she was poor. As long as they did not steal or rob, then they would still have a


    spine and preserve their dignity.


    It was alright if only one person slept in Raeleigh''s room, but two people was a tight squeeze. After


    dinner, the olddy had asked one of them to sleep in the empty room, but Raeleigh declined, saying


    that she never liked sleeping in other people''s rooms, and that there would be a moldy smell. Instead,


    she asked Scarlette to go over. Scarlette refused as well. She said that she had stayed in all kinds of


    rooms before, once even in one that had rats. So, at that moment, she didn''t have a problem with


    squeezing a little tighter to sleep with another person.


    After the olddy left, Raeleigh and Scarlett began to y the game. As they yed, Scarlett said to


    Raeleigh, "Why don''t you find someone to take you with them? When will you be an expert if you


    keep ying like this?"


    "I''m fine now. You can find Shadowless Hadrian. I''m good here." Raeleigh was quite a natural. She


    snorted with disdain and left quickly.


    Raeleigh was the only one left. She found a treasure box in the game that she could open. She opened


    one that had 200 dors and was satisfied.


    "Why have you stopped ying?" With a look of surprise on her face, Scarlette asked as Raeleigh


    packed up theputer and put it aside. "I opened a Treasure Box just now and sold it for 220 dors.


    I will buy an outfit for Grandma tomorrow."


    Scarlette was speechless. "What logic is this? It isn''t even eight o''clock yet and you''re already calling it

    a day? Just because of the two hundred dor treasure chest, what if you open a two thousand dor


    one?"


    Raeleigh did not listen to her words. She tidied herself andy on the bed. "To begin with, one is


    already guaranteed to lose at least half the time when ites to gambling. Don''t be fooled by the


    ''logic'' that seems obvious before your eyes. You can rest, store your money and energy, and if you


    have good fortune, then the two thousand dor option will still be there for the taking."


    Scarlette didn''t know what to say. "Go to sleep then. I''m going to y without you. Ye of little faith."


    Scarlette continued to y and it didn''t take long for Raeleigh to fall asleep.


    Scarlette noticed that besides Hadrian, a shadow in red appeared. Aftermunicating two lines, she


    shut theptop.


    ...


    Raeleigh and Scarlette got up Tristany the next day and went out Tristany. They bought some things


    from the morning market and went out again after breakfast. They bought some stuff for the olddy to


    wear and use.
