The two pretended to be close sisters, strolling leisurely down the street.
Suddenly, He Hua's heart skipped a beat, and she froze.
She saw the man standing on the street corner—her abusive husband from her past life. Humph, this man has finally appeared.
She hadn't even gone to find him yet, and he suddenly appeared in front of her.
"He Hua, what's wrong? What did you see that scared you?"
"It's nothing, Xiaoya, you're mistaken. I just spotted someone I know."
"Oh, where?"
"Right on that street corner, the one in the black coat."
Following He Hua's finger, Zhang Xiaoya's eyes lit up immediately. How could this person be so fair-skinned and look so refined, even a bit better looking than Chen Gang?
She blushed instantly, and couldn't wait to get to know him right now.
He Hua quickly noticed something amiss. "Zhang Xiaoya, you've taken a liking to her?"
Zhang Xiaoya glanced at He Hua, then nodded, her face flushed.
"No, do you know who that person is or what they do? You've taken a liking to them without knowing anything about them?"
"Um."
He Hua inwardly cursed, thinking that Zhang Xiaoya was probably about to be a lamb to the slaughter.
However, she didn't want to meddle in other people's business. After all, she had been tormented by this man enough in her past life, and she wanted to take revenge.
But Zhang Xiaoya is her nominal friend now, so she can only fulfill her moral responsibility by informing her first.
"Xiaoya, let me tell you, this man looks nice, but he's actually very bad. You'd better stay away from him," He Hua advised.
Zhang Xiaoya disagreed, saying, "How do you know? You don't know him at all." With that, she walked towards the man.
He Hua shook her head helplessly. "If you want to die, then there's nothing I can do."
Then, He Hua watched as Zhang Xiaoya walked up to the man and shyly struck up a conversation.
"Hello, are you waiting for someone?" Zhang Xiaoya asked gently.
"Yes, comrade, is there something you need?"
Although the man wore a gentle smile, a barely perceptible glint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
He Hua saw it clearly and was startled. The shadow of being beaten in her previous life still kept resurfacing in her mind.
At this moment, the man seemed to notice He Hua's gaze, turned to look at her, his eyes filled with doubt and inquiry.
He Hua forced herself to remain calm and quickly turned her head to the other side.
The man then turned back to Zhang Xiaoya and asked, "My name is Li Feng. What's your name?"
"My name is Zhang Xiaoya. Now that we know each other's names, are we good friends?"
"Of course, from this moment on, we are good friends."
"Oh, you're so kind. Are you free now? Would you like to go shopping?"
"Sure, I happen to have some free time, I'll show you two around."
"Let's go to the small park then. I'll ask my sisters if they want to go."
"Xiaoya, I won't go, you guys go ahead."
Zhang Xiaoya was secretly delighted. He Hua was smart enough to go; if she went, how could she possibly make a good impression?
"Let's go, Li Feng, she's not going."
He Hua watched Li Feng and Zhang Xiaoya walk away before she went back.
If Xiaoya won't listen to advice, then don't blame her; she's already given all the necessary reminders.
Mr. Chen originally wanted to see his biological son, but he met him on the road before he even reached the courtyard.
Why does that girl next to his son look so familiar? He hid to the side and secretly took a closer look.
Isn't this the little girl who used to come to our house with the third son's wife from time to time?
This girl is just like the third son's wife; she's cunning. We absolutely cannot let her seduce my own son.
Chen's father quietly followed Li Feng and the others all the way to the small park.
He kept an eye on Li Feng and Zhang Xiaoya, and only felt relieved when he saw that they did not do anything inappropriate.
He Hua was already being watched by three men sent by Liu Chong on her way home, and they were secretly following her.
When they reached an empty alley, they quickly dragged her to a corner.
Seeing this, He Hua was terrified and struggled desperately.
“Stop struggling, just hand over all the money you have,” one of the thin men said.
"Brother, I have no money. Where would I get the money?" He Hua said tremblingly.
"Hurry up and take it out. You don't want me to search it myself, do you?" the skinny man threatened.
“Okay, I’ll take it.” He Hua took out five ten-yuan bills from her pocket and handed them to him.
"This is all I have, I'm giving it all to you."
"Hmph, be careful next time. Not everyone's money can be extorted."
After saying this, the man slapped himself on both cheeks, then left with the other two men.
He Hua touched her face, and cried involuntarily from the pain.
What hurt her even more was her money. Luckily, she only brought this little bit with her, otherwise she would have had nowhere to cry.
He Hua thought to herself, "She's trying to extort money? Who's she trying to extort? Those people deserve to die a horrible death."
Could it be her mother? She only ever received two hundred yuan from her mother.
Is her mother really that ruthless? Just for two hundred yuan, she actually hired someone to rob her and then beat her up.
Since that's the case, she doesn't need to show any mercy anymore.
He Hua stood up, wiped away her tears, and continued walking home as if nothing had happened.
When she got home, her mother was sweeping the floor.
She glanced at He Hua and noticed that there was a handprint on each of her faces.
He immediately asked, "Who hit you?"
He Hua was furious. She shouted, "Stop pretending! Didn't you call people to beat me up?"
Mrs. He thought for a moment, then her eyes flashed.
