Lin Nian hadn’t expected Qin Jiao to be so sharp-tongued. Glancing at the burly Jin Lan Hua beside her, she grit her teeth and turned to leave.
’Was that book lying to ? Didn’t it say the heroine, Qin Jiao, was actually gentle and incredibly kind? How could she say sothing so harsh?’
’Could I have been reading fanfiction?’
’Otherwise, why do I always lose every ti I clash with this ’white lotus’ heroine?’
She had been in a truly awful mood lately, so she completely ignored her older sister and Xiao Ni, who were watching her expectantly. She just turned and ran.
Lately, Chen Feng’s temper had been getting stranger. He seed to argue with Li Xiaoi often, and whenever he did, he would run to Lin Nian’s rented apartnt to sleep with her.
In this era, condoms weren’t easy to buy, and neither were pills. They were still students. Even though Chen Feng had a little money, they weren’t that easy to get.
But because Chen Feng wanted it so often, Lin Nian was worried she would get pregnant!
There was another thing. Shen Zhengfeng was divorcing Du Liya. It probably wouldn’t be long before he married Li Xiaoi. This should have been good news, but Lin Nian had heard from Chen Feng that Shen Zhengfeng might have to give that mother and son pair half of the family’s assets!
The Shen Family wasn’t as wealthy as they would beco later, but they were still one of the richest families in North City. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call them the wealthiest. They owned two huge factories!
But Lin Nian rembered from the book that in a few years, the Shen Family’s paint factory would have a major accident, and Shen Zhengfeng would nearly go to prison.
’I should get Shen Zhengfeng to give the paint factory to that mother and son. Then Shen Yi can be the one to go to jail.’
But Lin Nian had barely ntioned half of this to Chen Feng before he snapped at her.
"Are you after that man’s money?" Chen Feng was very hostile toward Shen Zhengfeng. No matter what Li Xiaoi said, he refused to call him ’Dad’.
Lin Nian was startled and quickly changed the subject, not daring to bring it up again.
However, if Shen Zhengfeng gave the clothing factory to Shen Yi and his mother, then the Shen Family’s remaining paint factory... if sothing happened to it later... The more Lin Nian thought about it, the more agitated she beca!

After paying, Qin Jiao and Jin Lan Hua took her sister ho. When they arrived, they saw their mom talking with their aunt, Qin Na, whose face was a little red.
When she and Xiao Shi walked over, Su Yun and Qin Na both stopped talking, looking all mysterious.
Xiao Shi asked curiously, "Mom, Auntie, what are you talking about? Why is Auntie’s face so red?"
Xiao Shi was much more cheerful than before, with the natural liveliness of a child. She was genuinely curious.
But Su Yun waved her hand. "I just made so sweet potato fries. They’re still hot. You two go on inside and eat. This is grown-up business, kids shouldn’t worry about it so much."
Xiao Shi said, "I’m still a kid, but Sis is a grown-up! She can know."
Qin Jiao, who had been about to go eat the sweet potato fries, was suddenly called out and felt a little baffled.
Su Yun looked at her vibrant, eighteen-year-old daughter. Besides, for a while now, they had let her in on all major family matters. Many of her ideas were better than their own.
Su Yun said, "Xiao Na, why don’t you tell her yourself. Xiao Jiao is smart and understands a lot. She’s eighteen now, so she should know about these things."
’I can’t have her being naive and getting tricked by so scoundrel in the future.’
On this point, Su Yun was quite open-minded, unlike so parents who would be evasive whenever the topic ca up.
Qin Jiao hadn’t intended to ask, but now she was interested. "So what is it?" she asked curiously.
