Chapter 9: Li Visits Again

At this moment, Wang Lingling spoke up again: "Impossible. There are only a few people in our class with good grades. If the teacher doesn't go, then it's just down to Li Ling."

In the eyes of a slacker like her, aside from the class monitor, only Xiang Liling’s grades were worth noting.

Of course, ignoring the fact that she herself was a slacker.

As for Nan Shuang’s grades, there was no need to even think about it; the teacher wouldn't choose her, and she wouldn't be interested either. With that time, she’d rather condense a few more drops of spiritual liquid.

"Go ask. The next class is math. If the teacher doesn't mention it during the lesson, go ask after class." Nan Shuang preferred to keep the initiative in her own hands.

"That's the only way."

Sure enough, after class started, the math teacher brought up the competition as soon as he walked in.

Knowing that Yu Qian was unwilling, he turned his attention to the students with good math grades.

Xiang Liling was among them.

Now she didn't have to be disappointed anymore.

Life at school was very leisurely, and Nan Xing no longer appeared in front of her. Life couldn't be happier.

However, happy days are always so short-lived.

"What are you here for again?"

Nan Shuang was in her room doing homework. Her father had said today that he would be home late.

She had cooked the meal as soon as she got back, keeping it warm on the stove. While waiting for her father to come home to eat, she took out her homework to work on.

But she didn't expect that instead of her father, she would be waiting for someone she didn't want to see.

"Can't I come?" Jiang Li, carrying a bag, strode toward Nan Shuang.

"You ungrateful wretch. If I had known you would turn out like this, I shouldn't have given birth to you." Seeing this daughter, Jiang Li’s anger flared up.

Ever since the incident last time, not only had she been going against her at every turn, but she had even dared to fight back.

She was becoming increasingly bold.

"That’s not something you can decide. As long as my arrival is welcomed by Dad, it doesn't matter if you don't love me." Nan Shuang was not the original owner.

She wouldn't just obediently take whatever Jiang Li did or said.

She wasn't the type to be a punching bag.

"Where is your father?" Jiang Li glared at the "ungrateful wretch" and then, acting as if it were her own home, looked around.

"You aren't welcome here. Get out." Nan Shuang’s disgust for this woman had reached its limit; she was afraid she wouldn't be able to stop herself from attacking her.

She was no longer the "useless" person she once was.

Having practiced the ancient martial arts breathing technique for so long, she was now a Level 2 martial artist.

Let alone a woman like her, she could handle ten Nan Shuangs like her.

Hearing this, Jiang Li was furious. "If anyone is getting out, it’s you and your father. Don't think I don't know where he got the money to buy this house."

That’s right, Jiang Li had come for money this time.

When they divorced, it was agreed that he would leave with the daughter and nothing else, and even the debts outside would be hers.

But he, on the other hand, had taken money and actually bought a house. Hmph, this wasn't over.

"This is my father’s house. Why should I get out?" Nan Shuang couldn't understand her logic.

"Where the money came from is none of your damn business." Nan Shuang couldn't help but curse.

"How is it not my business? That money is mine. It’s all written down in black and white. What, you think you can just renege on the debt?" That divorce agreement was her leverage.

She didn't believe she couldn't handle this father and daughter.

Indeed, Nan Shuang had forgotten about that.

She really wasn't clear on the specific details.

"I’m telling you, you get out tomorrow." The anger she had been holding in for days finally had a chance to explode today.

Just as the mother and daughter were arguing, Wen Hao returned.

As soon as he walked in, he saw Jiang Li pointing at Nan Shuang and scolding her. Without a word, Wen Hao stepped forward and shoved her, making her stumble.

She almost fell to the ground.

"Wen, are you crazy?" After steadying herself, Jiang Li immediately began to scream at Wen Hao.

"You dare push me? You shameless thing, don't you know what kind of wicked things you've done?"

After the divorce, Jiang Li had truly become a different person.

She had changed so much that Wen Hao didn't even recognize her anymore.

"What have I done? If you keep spouting nonsense here, I won't be polite." Wen Hao was furious and roared at Jiang Li.

Even though Jiang Li looked tough on the surface, she was still afraid of Wen Hao deep down.

"What have you done? You shameless man, when we divorced, it was agreed that all the debts inside and outside the house would be mine, but what do you mean by going to collect money now?"

If she hadn't run into Qiangzi, she wouldn't have known.

Wen Hao understood what she meant; she had come for money.

"Yes, I said that back then, but so what?" Adopting the demeanor of a thug, Wen Hao also underwent a complete change.

"That’s money I earned myself, why should I spend it on you?" Did she really think he was easy to bully?

"Wasn't the money left for you during the divorce enough for you to squander? It should have been enough to raise two or three Nan Xings, right?" If it hadn't been for the child, he wouldn't have taken her abuse.

"What, did you spend it all, or did your family help you spend it?" Wen Hao’s eyes were filled with contempt.

In fact, Jiang Li wasn't stupid enough for that. She wouldn't give money to others, not even her own parents.

She had come simply because she couldn't stand that Wen Hao had used the money to buy a house and settle down in the city.

She wanted him to take his daughter and get back to the countryside.

Why should he get to live the life of a city dweller?

She had completely forgotten that if it weren't for Wen Hao, she wouldn't have become a city dweller either.

Nan Shuang truly felt that for a woman to sink to Jiang Li’s level was shameful.

"I don't have money, but I have a life. If you have the ability, come and take it." When it came to acting like a rogue, Jiang Li was no match for Wen Hao.

"If you dare touch Nan Shuang again, I will make sure you can't stay in this city. I mean what I say." He smiled viciously at Jiang Li.

"I don't care, you have to give me that money, otherwise none of us will have a good life." All she saw now was money.

If Wen Hao were alone, he wouldn't be afraid, but with Nan Shuang there, he was worried.

"I said it, I don't have money, but I have a life." He wouldn't give her the money easily.

Even if he were to give it, it would depend on his mood.

"Then I'll sue you!" Jiang Li shouted with all her might.

Unfortunately, if she hadn't been trembling, it would have been more convincing.

Wen Hao laughed, "It seems you've grown some guts. Have you forgotten how you seduced me back then, and what you married me for?" As he spoke, Wen Hao closed in on her.

Jiang Li retreated step by step until her back hit the wall.

"You... what do you want to do?" At his words, Jiang Li recalled the events of the past.

"I don't want to do anything. I just want to ask you now, do you still want the money?" A cruel look was on Wen Hao’s face.

Jiang Li managed to say "yes" with difficulty, then pushed Wen Hao aside and ran away.

This ending was truly unexpected.

Nan Shuang was speechless. Was this a case of a tiger's head and a snake's tail?

"Dad." Nan Shuang called out to Wen Hao after watching Jiang Li leave.

"Dad is here. Don't be afraid, Dad will protect you." He could be hurt, but hurting his child? No way.
