"If you want me to withdraw the lawsuit, you have to pay me two hundred dollars for mental and reputation damages, not a cent less. Prepare the money and bring it to me, and I will withdraw the lawsuit immediately."
"Two hundred yuan! Why don't you just go and rob it!" Li Li's eyes almost popped out.
Wei Qiaolan said with a fake smile, "You think it's too expensive? That's fine, I don't want any money either. Your mother lied and ruined my reputation, and she also beat me up and caused minor injuries. Let the law decide the case, I have no objection."
Li Li was anxious and pointed at the other person's nose, "How shameless of you! You accepted the gift and now you deny it, right?"
Wei Qiaolan sneered and slapped Li Li's hand away. "Who is so shameless? Why didn't you come earlier or later? You chose to come in broad daylight when I was doing business. People who know you think you are here to make peace, and those who don't think you are here to cause trouble! Okay, I'm busy and don't have time to talk nonsense with you. Just go away and don't force me to drive you away."
Li Li was not willing to leave like this. She spent 70 yuan on the gift, so how could she let it go to waste?
"If you don't withdraw the lawsuit, return the gift my old Ling gave you!"
Wei Qiaolan could see that Li Li and Zhu Hongping were of the same character, and she didn't want to get entangled with them any further, so she immediately went home and brought all the things back to Li Li.
After leaving Wei Qiaolan's shop, Li Li began to look through the gifts.
There were American ginseng, malted milk, and a box of Western snacks, all good things she had never touched before.
"This loser bought such a good thing for an outsider!"
Looking at the large and small bags in his daughter's hands, Li Dajun felt uneasy. "Li, your son-in-law just gave you something and you took it back right after. Isn't this offensive?"
Li Li glanced at her father in anger, "Do you think you won't offend anyone if you don't take the things back? Didn't you hear what Wei said? She asked for two hundred right away, as if other people's money came from the wind? She won't withdraw the lawsuit if she doesn't see the money anyway. If we don't take these good things back, she'll get them for nothing!"
Li Dajun was worried, "What about your mother? You can't just ignore it, right?"
Li Li was also upset when she mentioned this. Her younger brother Li Zhijie had already been imprisoned, and she certainly didn't want her own mother to follow in his footsteps, but how could the family afford such a large sum of money now?

“Ding ding ding…”
As the school bell rang, the classroom suddenly became noisy and everyone packed up their things and took out their lunch boxes to go to the cafeteria to eat.
Yun Mo is no exception.
There is a saying that goes, if you are not active when eating, there is something wrong with your thinking.
No. 3 Middle School is a well-established and famous school, and it is better than other schools in every aspect, including the canteen. The ingredients are fresh, the flavors are rich, and the price is cheap. For 1.5 cents, you can get two meat dishes and one vegetable dish, plus a soup.
After picking up their lunch boxes, Yun Mo and her deskmate Yang Huiying were getting up to go to the cafeteria when someone suddenly blocked their way.
"Xiao Mo, we are going to eat outside. You can come with us. It's my treat."
Looking at the smiling Yun Yao, Yun Mo had only one sentence in her mind.
If someone shows you kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.
Yun Yao came to class yesterday, but the two of them tacitly did not communicate or interact with each other, just like strangers.
Unexpectedly, after just one day of peace, the other party couldn't sit still anymore.
Facing Yun Yao, who was smelling the strong aroma of tea, Yun Mo smiled slightly and said, "No, I have already made an appointment with Yang Huiying."
"Yun Yao, you and Yun Mo knew each other before?"
At this time, a girl behind Yun Yao asked.
The heroine's aura is so powerful that she is always surrounded by people.
Yun Yao looked at Yun Mo and explained with a smile: "Actually, Xiao Mo and I are sisters. We were born at the same time, but we were taken away by mistake in the hospital..."
Yun Yao briefly explained their life stories, and then, amid everyone's surprised and curious gazes, she said loudly, "But Xiaomo moved out after she got married, and we rarely see each other now."
For a moment, all eyes were focused on Yun Mo.
Everyone's face was filled with shock and surprise.
"Yun Mo, are you married?"
In this era, getting married at the age of 18 is not a rare thing, but generally only girls in rural areas who have not received an education will get married so early.
Girls in the city, especially high school students like them who are preparing to enter college, will not get married so early.
A married senior high school student like Yun Mo is considered an outlier in the class.
After understanding Yun Yao's intention, Yun Mo felt relieved.
She had never thought of hiding the fact that she was married, and she didn't think it was shameful to marry Ling Chuan, but Yun Yao obviously didn't think so.
In Yun Yao's opinion, these talented students in the class would not look down on a poor guy like Ling Chuan who didn't even graduate from junior high school, and would also be prejudiced and contemptuous of Yun Mo.
Yun Yao answered the classmate's question on behalf of Yun Mo, "Xiao Mo got married in early July this year. Her husband used to work on the construction site developed by my father, but was later fired for some reasons.
By the way, Xiaomo, has Lingchuan found a new job? If not, I can ask Dad to let him go back to work. After all, he hasn't even graduated from junior high school, so it should be difficult for him to find a decent job. Lingchuan has no income now, so you guys must be having a hard time, right?"
Yun Yao appears to be concerned, but in fact she maliciously exposes Ling Chuan's past.
Yun Mo's face was as white as snow, and there was a faint flickering of fire in her almond-shaped eyes.
Although she didn't mind her classmates knowing about her marriage, it didn't mean that she could tolerate Yun Yao exposing her private life to outsiders and letting them watch and talk about it.
She looked at Yun Yao with a half-smile, "I'm a little tight on money lately, so when are you going to pay me back the money you owe me?"
Yun Mo's original intention of returning the money was to warn Yun Yao. Of course it would be better if the money could be recovered.
But to her surprise, Yun Yao seemed to be well prepared, with a smug smile on her face, "Xiao Mo, there is one thing you don't know, Su Ming'an's current fiancée is Xiao Huan."
To outsiders, this answer seemed irrelevant and nonsensical, but Yun Mo understood it immediately.
She was able to use the matter of stealing money to control Yun Yao simply because Yun Yao cared about her reputation and was afraid that it would affect her engagement with Su Mingan.
But now that the engagement was off, Yun Yao was naturally no longer afraid that the news of stealing money would affect her reputation.
However, the news that Su Mingan and Yun Huan were engaged surprised Yun Mo.
"Xiao Mo, is Zeng Fang okay? I haven't seen her for a while and I miss her a lot. When you see her, please say hello to her for me."
Yun Yao had a harmless smile on her face, but only Yun Mo knew what kind of viciousness was hidden beneath that smile.
