“So, i Shu had been taken care of by you when she was in the countryside!” Li Zhen said, his mouth agape with surprise. “In that case, you must know her well!”
“Of course, I brought her up with my own hands. Who else could know her better than I do?”
After that, Old Wang looked Li Zhen up and down. Seeing him well-dressed, she imdiately put on a fawning smile and asked, “Young master, do you know i Shu?”
“I do. She goes to the sa school as . We both attend Lin City First High School,” Li Zhen replied, unable to contain his excitent.
Old Wang sneered and said, “That must not be a good school, right? With her grades, it’s surprising that any school would even accept her. Aren’t they afraid she’ll hold others back?”
Lin Wei felt a bit annoyed hearing this.
After all, her beloved grandson also attended that school. Old Wang’s comnts were indirectly deaning Li Zhen as well.
“Mom!” Lin He saw that her aunt was not pleased and quickly tugged on Old Wang’s hand. “I heard that the school she attends is the best high school in Lin City. Please don’t make baseless comnts!”
“Am I making baseless comnts?” Old Wang retorted unhappily. “She must have used connections to get in. Nowadays, these school teachers would do anything for money. i Shu had such poor grades that not even a rural school would want her. How could she get into such a good school without pulling so strings?”
Li Zhen pondered for a mont and asked, “Are you saying that i Shu had very poor grades in the countryside? But her current academic performance is excellent.”
“She must be cheating! That ingrate is a habitual thief!” Old Wang had only been talking about i Shu for a short while, but she had already said quite a few negative things about her.
It was clear that her relationship with i Shu must be terrible, which explained why i Shu hadn’t contacted Old Wang and her family since returning to Lin City.
Lin Wei probably understood i Shu’s intentions now.
She hadn’t thought too much about it, assuming that the girl wanted to call Old Wang back to take revenge.
After all, i Shu was just a child with a childish temperant.
She was going through all this trouble just to get back at an old woman who was close to her death.
Now that Lin Wei had figured out i Shu’s intentions, she could relax.
As long as i Shu’s ultimate goal wasn’t targeting them, Lin Wei wouldn’t have to worry. As for what she wanted to do to take revenge on Old Wang and her niece and her niece’s husband, it had nothing to do with Lin Wei.
“Well, we’ve been chatting for quite a while now. It’s ti to have dinner,” Lin Wei said with a smile as she stood up. With the crowd in tow, she walked into the dining room.
Zhou Nan had never experienced such extravagance. He couldn’t help but rub his hands together in excitent, thinking about the many servants waiting on him.
Lin He didn’t want her husband to embarrass her in front of her aunt, so she quickly pulled him back and whispered, “Later, don’t accept anything else from my aunt. I’m afraid she’ll look down on us.”
“What do you know?” Zhou Nan was impatient and swatted her hand away, then sneaked a glance at Lin Wei’s back. He lowered his voice and warned, “Mind your own business! Let tell you, if it weren’t for the fact that your aunt has money, do you think I would have co ail this way? Do you know how much money I could have earned if 1 hadn’t co here?”
Lin He dared not argue.
She had beco accustod to swallowing her pride ever since she got married.
Zhou Nan had a bad temper, and he was also addicted to gambling. What he referred to as “earning money” was just going to the casino to try his luck. If he won, he’d buy so liquor and drink it at ho, and if he lost, he’d vent his anger on her.
Last ti, he had beaten her so badly that her eyes were black and blue for half a month. Now, just as she was beginning to recover, she was urgently called to Lin Wei’s house.
However, since they were at her aunt’s ho, Lin He didn’t want to embarrass herself further. She gathered her courage and advised him in a low voice, “Zhou Nan, no matter what, this ti in Lin City, you mustn’t go gambling. My aunt just said she’d introduce you to a job. You can’t just go and gamble away the money you earn in Lin City. You should consider the livelihood of our little family!”
“Why are you so annoying? It’s all for your sake that I go gambling! If you keep nagging, I’ll beat you to death now!” Zhou Nan was irritated and even waved his fist at her.
Lin He quickly hid her head in fear.
Zhou Nan warned her fiercely once and then turned with a pleasing smile to Lin Wei, offering a toast.
Li Zhen was still urging Old Wang to tell him more about i Shu’s scandals in the countryside.
Old Wang was delighted to have an audience and enthusiastically said, “Don’t be fooled by her current appearance as a young lady. She used to do all sorts of immoral things in the countryside, sneaking around with a boy from her class. Sotis they would sneak out in the middle of the night. Who knows what they were up to?”
That was exactly what Li Zhen wanted to hear, and he couldn’t wait to ask, “Were they in a romantic relationship?”
Old Wang looked disdainful. “A romantic relationship? That boy’s family in the village is one of the wealthiest.. How could he be interested in her? He just treated her like a plaything! i Shu is nothing more than a low-class b*tch!”
