Tiger's gaze remained fixed on Ning Wan.
Su Lin's expression gradually turned displeased.
She glared at Ning Wan, her eyebrows raised sharply, and said, "Either give me the money, or get out. Don't get feverish here and try to seduce men everywhere!"
As Su Lin finished speaking, Ning Wan's delicate face turned as pale as paper.
She gripped the bag tightly in her hand.
Those slender wrists were pitifully fragile, as if they could be easily broken with the slightest force.
Every step I took felt like I was using up all the strength I had in my life.
When she finally reached the door, Ning Wan suddenly stopped.
She slowly turned around, with a last glimmer of hope, and asked with a mixture of expectation and resentment, "Mom, from childhood to adulthood, have you ever truly loved me?"
Su Lin didn't answer, but scoffed.
That mocking gaze was colder than the frost of winter.
Finally, Ning Wan left in despair...
...
"How's it going? Did you record everything?"
Outside the villa, Ning Wan expressionlessly took out a tissue to wipe away her tears.
My voice became hoarse from crying for so long.
057 was taken aback and replied, "[It's...it's been recorded...]"
Two seconds later, it screamed in shock: "Holy crap! Ning Wan, your acting is absolutely phenomenal! I guarantee, if you went into the entertainment industry, Song Mengwan would be a thing of the past!"
Ning Wan chuckled, amused: "You'll easily get beaten up if you say things like that."
057 chuckled: "We're just secretly doing this behind her back..."
It wouldn't dare say that in front of Song Mengwan.
The operation went smoothly.
057 not only recorded everything that happened after Ning Wan entered the villa, but also clearly heard Su Lin cursing.
It couldn't wait to see Su Lin's embarrassing state after she found out the truth.
057, looking eager, asked: "What's next? Should we post it online now?"
“No,” Ning Wan said calmly, “we must continue to wait.”
057 asked, puzzled: 【What are you waiting for?】
"Waiting for a typhoon..."
057: [...?]
...
The acquisition of two crucial pieces of evidence eased Ning Wan's anxiety considerably.
She didn't need to do anything else; she just needed to wait quietly.
With nothing to do at home, Ning Wan finally decided to reopen the boxed lunch restaurant.
The night before reopening, she seemed quite restless and unable to eat or sleep.
I worry about those netizens who are indignant, and I worry about those who are unaware of the truth.
I'm worried about whether the decision I've made is right or wrong.
But when she arrived at the boxed lunch shop the next day, fully prepared, she was surprised.
The cleanliness and tidiness in front of the door still left Ning Wan stunned.
I thought that since I hadn't come to the store to clean up for a few days, the entrance to the boxed lunch shop would probably be covered in paint or feces.
At worst, it's just garbage, along with all sorts of rotten eggs and smelly vegetable leaves.
But when she actually arrived at the scene and saw it with her own eyes, it was a cleanliness that Ning Wan could never have imagined.
Even the open space at the front gate had been washed with clean water.
The water stains on the ground were still wet, and the air still carried a faint scent of cleaning agent.
Ning Wan took out her key, opened the door, and slowly walked inside.
The store's layout was exactly the same as when I left.
The morning sunlight fell into the shop, illuminating the small house.
Ning Wan suddenly felt a long-lost sense of peace...
...
"Ning Wan?"
Someone was calling her from behind.
Ning Wan turned around and was surprised to see Chen Limin, whom she hadn't seen in a long time: "Sister Chen?"
Ning Yanshu's eyes widened in surprise and delight. "Aunt Chen! When did you get back?"
"I just got back a couple of days ago, but I haven't seen you open the door. I didn't know where you lived, so I didn't say hello."
Seeing the bucket of water that Chen Limin was carrying, Ning Wan suddenly realized: "Sister Chen, did you clean the shop entrance for me?"
Chen Limin nodded: "I've been away for more than half a year this time, and the store was filthy. When I was cleaning, I saw that the entrance to the boxed rice shop was also dirty, so I swept it up as I went."
She didn't intentionally ask about the store.
He then looked at Ning Yanshu and said, "The little one has grown taller and thinner. Has he not been eating properly? Is he itching for a beating again?"
"No, not at all~"
Ning Yanshu pouted, looking unhappy.
Ning Wan warmly pulled her into the store: "After this trip, will you be leaving again?"
Chen Limin shook her head: "It's too boring at home. I'm better off going out to work."
"I renewed my rent for another two years and plan to open a regular barbershop. No matter how much or how little I earn, I can still support myself."
“Then he…” Ning Wan hesitated.
"You mean my son?" Chen Limin said without hesitation, "He lost money gambling and got so desperate that he grabbed a kitchen knife and yelled that he was going to rob a bank. But he was such a coward that he was subdued by security guards within minutes of showing up."
The way things unfolded was truly outrageous.
Ning Wan pondered what words of comfort she should say.
The next second, Chen Limin comforted her, saying, "I'm fine, don't worry about me. Actually, I'm quite satisfied with the result."
"ah?……"
Ning Wan was completely dumbfounded.
“His personality is just like his father's; he’ll never change. Rather than that, it’s better to hand him over to the state for reform. I only need to send him a few hundred yuan each month. It won’t be such a big burden.”
This is a large part of the reason why Chen Limin was able to return from her hometown so quickly.
