The house was part of her dowry from her parents, so Li Shiping naturally wouldn’t give it to Wan Dongcheng, let alone let him sell it. Over the years, her family had not stopped supporting her household, and compared to Wan Dongcheng’s family, now that things had come to this point, she was even less inclined to let Wan Dongcheng sell their marital home.
"Sis, don’t worry!" Li Yue said without any concern, "Even if Wan Dongcheng had ten brains, he wouldn’t be able to sell the house. This divorce is as good as done if you’re willing to go through with it—it’s like his opinion is a fart. It doesn’t matter."
He had a hundred ways to make Wan Dongcheng agree to a divorce.
"Mm," Li Shiping nodded. Although Li Yue didn’t explicitly say how he would do it, she knew that if Wan Dongcheng refused to divorce, it would likely result in a beating. But she had no intention of stopping it.
"Get some sleep early." For origınal chapters go to 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝙣𝙚𝙩
Li Yue raised his hand and opened the door for her. He glanced at the child, who was sleeping soundly, before turning back to his own room.
Early the next morning, Li Yue went to Wan Dongcheng’s house, but perfectly missed encountering him. Through the door, he had a heated exchange with Pan Huiyun, which nearly made her pass out from anger. Finding the whole situation meaningless, he then headed to the Second Middle School, but Wan Dongcheng, knowing it was Li Yue who had come looking for him, deliberately avoided him.
However, Li Yue was not a pushover. Not meeting Wan Dongcheng, he simply turned and left.
After teaching all day, when school let out in the evening, Wan Dongcheng kept Zhao Xinlan and Zhou Siyu in the classroom for a talk. He didn’t beat around the bush and directly shared his thoughts with them.
Zhou Siyu feigned difficulty, "Mr. Wan, I know it’s not right for my sister to lie, but after all, she is my sister! If we report her to the principal of the Third Middle School, she would be expelled by the school."
Zhao Xinlan had already told her about Shen Mianmian’s situation, so she wasn’t surprised at all. Shen Mianmian, with good looks and charm, was bound to make connections with city folks—it was just a matter of time. She didn’t expect it to happen so quickly though.
These past days, her aunt and uncle hadn’t come to look for her, probably because they hadn’t gotten any money. Shen Mianmian was indeed not easy to catch. Now that Mr. Wan was willing to help, things would be much easier.
"Zhou Siyu, I know Shen Mianmian is your cousin, but as a bad apple, keeping her in school would only damage the school’s atmosphere and affect other students," Wan Dongcheng said with a righteous demeanor as if Shen Mianmian was already beyond redemption.
"Siyu, everyone at the Third Middle School has been deceived by Shen Mianmian. She’s just a little thief with unclean hands. You and I both know the truth. Do you really not intend to expose her?"
Zhao Xinlan had long wanted to reveal Shen Mianmian’s true face, and she also wanted to make a good impression in front of Wan Dongcheng, so she took the initiative to persuade Zhou Siyu.
"I..." Zhou Siyu struggled for a bit, then finally clenched her teeth, "Alright! But this matter can’t be known by anyone else."
Zhou Siyu didn’t want Gu Jianbin to know about this; lately, her relationship with Gu Jianbin had been getting better. They even sat together in the canteen, and she had also agreed to Zhuo Feng’s suggestion to study together at Gu Jianbin’s house on Sunday.
Seeing her agree, Wan Dongcheng immediately assured, "Don’t worry, this matter will only be known to the three of us."
"Then let’s meet at the school gate on Saturday morning." After saying this, Zhou Siyu bid farewell to Wan Dongcheng and headed straight back to the dormitory.
Zhao Xinlan, however, hesitated and did not leave. When only the two of them were left in the classroom, she looked expectantly at Wan Dongcheng, "Mr. Wan, are you going home this weekend?"
Riding in Wan Dongcheng’s car would save her fare money and deepen the teacher-student relationship. Perhaps Wan Dongcheng would even offer her extra tutoring.
