This chapter opens with the arrival of Miss Tang, who has returned to the Ming household. Panda is overjoyed to see her, and she tells him that he is welcome to stay with her. He tells her that if he hadn't bought her back, she would have been his. He says that he doesn't feel sorry for her, because he feels that his luck wasn't too bad. Panda tells his mom that he's moving out of the house, and that she shouldn't have even brought Miss Tang back. She tells him to go back to his room, and he says that's all his fault. He blames her for the whole mess, and says that it's time for him to leave. He gives her permission to stay in his guest room for the night, and the next day, he'll give her his father's things.
