Jin Shu was nothing more than a 'white moonlight' whose spiritual power was destroyed in a cultivation novel. The men who once loved and protected her became infatuated with a junior sister...

Zhang Jisheng didn't want to embarrass himself in such a place, so he pulled Zhang Jiqing away.
Zhang Jiqing glared at Jin Shu.
Zhang Jisheng: "Don't cause your sister-in-law any trouble."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Jin Shu.
"Since we're already divorced, let's both go our separate ways peacefully. I hope I won't see you in this situation again."
"But I was here first, and you all came later. So, according to you, shouldn't I return that sentence to you?"
Zhang Jisheng didn't consider himself a sharp-tongued person, nor did he bother arguing with a woman, so he turned cold.
"BH City is not a place for you. I originally wanted you to go back to your hometown of Suzhou and live a peaceful life. If you still don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for making sure you can't stay in Suzhou either!"
Unable to win the argument with Jin Shu, he lost his temper and resorted to physical force.
Jin Shu ignored him and waved to the staff member not far away.
"Hello, someone has been harassing me here. I was trying to read a book, and these two are deliberately causing trouble. Could you please call the police for me?"
Zhang Jisheng: "..."
Calling the police would be useless, after all, Zhang Jisheng was a major general under Marshal Liu, and the police really couldn't do anything about him.
But Zhang Jisheng prided himself on being a respectable person, and losing face in front of so many top students from BH City would be worse than being shot.
At this moment, the librarian walked over; he had noticed Jin Shu from the very beginning.
She is beautiful and has a great temperament. Her clothes and appearance indicate that she is rich and noble. Most importantly, she has been sitting here for several hours, studying diligently. This is something that cannot be faked.
He noticed when the Zhang siblings came over, and he saw the whole process clearly, so there was no need to ask any more questions. He went straight up to Zhang Jisheng and reached out his hand.
"Sir, Madam, please show your library cards."
Zhang Jisheng and Zhang Jiqing's expressions both changed.
Zhang Jisheng, in particular, had never been so embarrassed in his life.
Just then, Zhao Hanying, who had been peacefully watching from the sidelines, walked over.
She handed over her library card and walked up to the librarian.
"Gao Li, these two are my friends. This is Major General Zhang, a warlord from the north. You should have seen him in the newspapers. He's my colleague."
She came often, so she got to know the administrators here.
It wasn't a big deal to begin with, the administrator glanced at Zhao Hanying.
"So you came with Miss Zhao. In that case, it's not a big deal."
"Miss, it was all a misunderstanding. Would you mind if I moved you to another seat?"
Before Jin Shu could speak, Zhao Hanying glanced at Jin Shu with a calm expression.
"If you're so worried about being bullied or harassed, why do you still go out in public?"
Sometimes it's not that there are more bad people, but rather that we need to look for problems within ourselves.
"You're dressed like this, all flashy and glamorous. Even if it's just your imagination, if you were actually harassed, how could you blame anyone else?"
Even though Jin Shu hadn't attended school for many years, she could still discern a lot of issues from what she heard.
Are the victims guilty?
"You mean, if you get your things stolen on the street one day, you can't blame the thief, you can only blame yourself for not taking care of your belongings properly, and for insisting on carrying your wallet when you go out?"
Zhao Hanying pursed her lips, her gaze indifferent.
“I have a private car to pick me up whenever I go out, so you don’t need to worry about me so much. You should spend more time worrying about yourself. It must have been hard for you to walk here in such high heels. I’m sorry to have troubled you by going through all that trouble to come here and just sit there.”
"Ha... Two people sharing a beat-up car, and the car even belongs to someone else, and they still have the nerve to show off here..."
Zhang Jiqing suddenly appeared again at this time.
"Don't be a sour grapes!"
My brother and sister-in-law have cars to pick them up and drop them off, but what about you? You've probably never even ridden in a car before!
Jin Shu frowned, only admiring her past self for being able to live with a sister-in-law like Zhang Jiqing for five years.
She stood up, and at that moment, the young man who had been sitting at the table next to her also stood up and silently walked up to Jin Shu.
"Miss Jin, are you going back now?"
"Um."
"Okay, please wait here for a moment, I'll go and bring the car over."
After the conversation ended, the young man first went to the service desk, took out his library card and borrowed the book he had just been reading. Then he walked out and got into the new Ford sedan parked across the street, started the car and parked it in front of the library.
Zhang Jisheng and the others hadn't even reacted yet when Jin Shu had already reached the door.
The young man jogged over to open the back door for her, bowed politely, and then ran back to the passenger seat.
Only then did they realize that someone else was driving; the young man with glasses seemed to be just a secretary…
It was a long time after Jin Shu left that Zhang Jisheng came to his senses and looked at Zhao Hanying.
"I have nothing to do with her anymore, don't worry."
"I heard you say that her family does business in Suzhou?"
Zhang Jisheng nodded.
He only knew that Jin Shu's family seemed to have some money and status in Suzhou, but she had never been back since her parents passed away.
Therefore, Zhang Jisheng naturally assumed that the Jin family's former status and wealth had been almost completely divided up.
After a long pause, Zhao Hanying gave a cold laugh.
"As expected of a capitalist's daughter, she really has a grand air about her when she goes out."
Zhang Jiqing, who had been silent all along, finally managed to utter a sentence at this moment.
"I know the little money she has; it's not enough for her to squander for long."
Some people are only successful on the surface.
Zhao Hanying finally glanced at her a couple more times.
"You know her very well?"
"Of course, we've lived together for so many years. The dowry she brought back was all she had. I have a rough idea of how much she still has after all these years."
She can't afford such an expensive car, and she certainly can't afford a driver.
Zhao Hanying looked out the window at the car that was gradually driving away, and felt much more at ease.
“BH City really has all kinds of people. As a woman, the most important thing is to be self-reliant, instead of chasing fame and fortune all day long, being vain and competitive.”
"Sister Hanying, you're absolutely right! She's just a country bumpkin after all. Let me tell you, if her parents hadn't been in poor health and only had her as their daughter, she might still be having her feet bound right now!"
Zhao Hanying seemed somewhat surprised upon hearing this.
"Foot binding? Impossible! That's feudal dregs from so many years ago!"
"How is that impossible? I've lived with her for so many years and I've never seen her go out alone!"
She was very preachy and told me not to associate with unfamiliar men.
"That's hilarious! Does she think I'm some kind of old-fashioned, feudalistic person?! She's already in a fire herself, and she still wants to push me down with her!"
