The money that was supposed to be returned still ended up in Dad’s hands. The tuition and living expenses for Wu Yue going to school were calculated with extre precision, sotis even falling short.
Watching the other girls in her dorm and their lifestyle—what they ate, wore, and used—she couldn’t compare at all. Of course, she felt upset about it. That’s why she thought about taking a part-ti job to earn so money, but working as a tutor or handing out flyers was not only exhausting but the inco was too little.
As a result, she followed her senior and ca here for part-ti work. Although the place was a bit ssy, the pay was decent.
Li Si looked at Wu Yue in disbelief. She’s already in university and not young anymore. How could she still be so naïve?
What kind of people are Wu Dachuan and his mother? After all these years, does she still not have a clue?
Thinking about it, Li Si could understand—after all, that’s her father and grandmother. At the end of the day, she was bound to be closer to them.
But what Li Si couldn’t understand was how Li Guozhi took the ten thousand yuan but apparently didn’t give Wu Yue a single cent?
After they parted ways with the others and were on their way back, Li Si still felt puzzled and asked, "You said you sent soone to give her ten thousand yuan, but Wu Yue is still saying she has no money! Could it be Li Guozhi didn’t give it to her?"
From what Wu Yue said earlier today, it seed like she didn’t even know about Li Guozhi eting him or getting the money.
Li Si didn’t an anything by it; she just found it a bit hard to figure out.
But Leng Mochen wasn’t happy hearing this. His face stiffened as he said, "That’s not sothing I should be asked about! Giving them money was already the utmost generosity; whether they choose to give it or not is their issue. Are you expecting to take care of their births, aging, sickness, and death now? Have you forgotten how those people treated you back then?"
There was one more thing he didn’t say: Seems like you’ve forgotten the pain once the wound healed! Even kindness has to be shown to the right people!
Li Si felt she was being unfairly treated. She only casually asked the question; she wasn’t at all planning on taking care of those people. She might be soft-hearted, but only when it ca to certain things.
Could she possibly take responsibility for Wu Yue too? That would be ridiculous!
Li Si quickly clung to Leng Mochen’s arm and pleaded, "Honey, don’t get upset! I didn’t an anything by it, I just found it curious. Back then, Li Guozhi was desperate enough to ask for help; wasn’t that so she could pay for Wu Yue’s tuition?
But now Wu Yue is still working at the KTV! Doesn’t this seem a bit contradictory?"
Leng Mochen’s expression softened slightly upon hearing this. He replied calmly, "Maybe she didn’t give her the money! That’s entirely possible! If you’re that curious, I’ll have soone look into it."
When it ca to the Li family, he found them extrely off-putting.
So when he saw Li Guozhi’s daughter working there, he didn’t feel the slightest bit of sympathy.
In their previous life, when Li Si’s father passed away, leaving her to depend on others, did anyone pity her?
"Honey, you’re the best! Don’t stay mad at ! It’s my birthday today!" Li Si jokingly planted a loud kiss on his cheek.
Leng Mochen grabbed the back of her head and gritted his teeth with affection, saying, "What am I supposed to do with you?"
Li Si was just this kind of person. Sotis she could drive him crazy, yet at other tis, she left him helplessly amused.
"Do whatever you’re supposed to!" Li Si nestled against his chest. Sohow, ntioning Li Fei made her sit up straight, raising her eyebrows in thought. "Wu Yue ntioned Li Fei, and now I’m starting to connect the dots. There’s still no news from the police station regarding Tian Yaru—where exactly did that sulfuric acid co from? You think it could’ve been related to Li Fei?"
Out of everyone who hated her the most, Li Fei undoubtedly topped the list.
Especially considering the contrast between her past life and now, Li Fei’s current situation wasn’t exactly smooth sailing.
Since she arrived in Beijing and got involved with Han Mingxue, her life had gone downhill.
Who would’ve thought Grandma Li had been involved with Mr. Han Sr., who fathered Li Guofu? That was ultimately the root of her misery.
Unlike their previous life, where Li Fei never left North City and lived comfortably with ng Zijun, backed by Li Guofu’s wealth, indulging in luxury and ease, she now faced a completely different fate.
Therefore, no matter what happened now, things wouldn’t escalate to the sa breaking point.
Leng Mochen firmly shook his head. "Probably not! But you can give the order for them to investigate just in case!"
Last ti, Li Fei had been punished quite severely, and unless she’s the type to forget pain easily, she wouldn’t dare to pull sothing like this.
Besides, the Li family was entirely based in North City, without roots or connections in Beijing.
Relying on that Mr. Han Sr. wouldn’t accomplish much, particularly since Han Mingzhe was caught up in sches with Long Wu, probably on the verge of bankruptcy and barely holding himself together, leaving no ti or resources to help Li Fei.
Furthermore, if he attempted anything, there were people around him who’d report back, but recently, there’s been no activity at all.
When they returned ho, Leng Family’s parents chatted with them briefly before leaving in their car.
Leng Mochen hugged Li Si, who had just showered and carried a subtle fragrance. He whispered into her ear, "Bao’er, happy birthday!"
Li Si turned her head to look at him and pouted in grievance. "I’ve been waiting all day, and now all I get is this verbal birthday wish? Where’s my gift?"
She hadn’t rushed him earlier, thinking maybe he’d wait until they were alone to surprise her with sothing special.
But now they had gone to bed, and he was already in his pajamas—there wasn’t even a sight of a gift box. That’s when she got anxious.
Leng Mochen kissed her nose indulgently. "Who said there’s no gift? I’ll show you in a bit!"
Li Si resisted his closeness and tried to get up to look for it. "Where is it? You’re lying!"
Leng Mochen chuckled mischievously and grabbed her hand, saying, "Here, why don’t you feel it?"
When Li Si’s hand touched that fiery, rigid object, she scread in angry embarrassnt, "Ah! You pervert! Mmph..."
But alas, it was too late. The poised hunter had already devoured his prey thoroughly...
After their fiery passion subsided, Leng Mochen triumphantly revealed the long-prepared gift—a ticulously chosen item brought back from abroad. Li Si liked it so much that she rewarded him before eventually falling into a deep sleep.
It wasn’t her lack of stamina—truly, the man had been downright ruthless...
...
The next day, Wu Yue called Li Guozhi to talk about her encounter with Li Si and her husband. She was afraid Li Guozhi would criticize her for working at the KTV, so she only said that she ran into them while hanging out with classmates.
She then complained for a while, grumbling that Li Si and her family were stingy despite being wealthy.
She even hinted about borrowing money to Li Si, but ultimately, Li Si didn’t respond.
On the other end of the line, Li Guozhi hemd and hawed for ages without saying much of substance. Even after hanging up, she still felt awkward and guilty, rubbing her hands together.
She really wanted to tell her daughter that Li Si had already been extraordinarily kind to them.
But when she thought of Wu Dachuan, and all those past experiences, she bottled up her emotions for a long ti before reluctantly deciding not to divulge everything.
Because Li Guozhi knew all too well what kind of behavior Wu Dachuan and his people would exhibit if they found out she had money in her hands.
And as for her daughter Wu Yue, Li Guozhi had deeply mixed feelings.
It turned out that when Leng Mochen sent soone to handle Li Guozhi’s situation, they provided a ten-thousand-yuan cash check.
Li Guozhi cashed it out, deposited it into her account, and didn’t give Wu Yue a single cent!
