The next day, Chen Xiaohui called the teacher to inquire about An Xin's situation at school.
"An Xin is doing well. She is attentive in class, and I have arranged for her classmates to help her catch up on the missed assignments," the teacher said.
"Okay, thank you, Teacher. I appreciate your help," Chen Xiaohui replied.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Xiaohui let out a sigh of relief and chuckled at herself for being too nervous.
When school was over that day, An Xin took the bus home again. Once she got on the bus, she looked around cautiously, worried that Wang Junfeng might be among the crowd.
After scanning the surroundings and not finding Wang Junfeng, An Xin finally relaxed.
Upon reaching her stop and getting off the bus, An Xin walked home with light steps.
However, after taking only a few steps, An Xin felt a chilling gaze fixed on her, sending shivers down her spine. She stopped and looked around, but she didn't see anyone suspicious.
An Xin continued walking, but after a few more steps, the feeling grew stronger. Her back and scalp were tingling.
She turned around again, but apart from a few people waiting for the bus at the platform, she didn't see anyone suspicious.
Feeling scared, An Xin hurriedly quickened her pace and ran back home.
Once inside the house, An Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she had felt someone following her on her way home, she hadn't actually seen anyone, so she didn't tell Chen Xiaohui about it.
After having dinner, she spent some time doing her homework before going to bed.
Chen Xiaohui lay on Li Man's bed, chatting with her:
"I called the teacher today, and the teacher said An Xin is doing well."
"That's good. Maybe we were just overthinking. Students have a lot of academic pressure. How about we take An Xin to the amusement park this weekend to relax?" Li Man suggested.
"Sounds good. It's been a while since we went out to have fun," Chen Xiaohui said happily.
"Great! I'll bring Duo Duo along too," Li Man said.
"Okay, it's settled then."
"Deal!"
As Li Man agreed, her phone suddenly made a notification sound. She picked up her phone and saw a message from Tan Xi Yuan in the group chat:
"That heartless bastard! He used to say he loved me, but now he won't even give me an extra penny."
Li Man quickly asked, "How much did you ask for?"
Tan Xi Yuan replied, "I asked for 20 million, but he said it's impossible, at most 5 million."
Gu Ya chimed in, "Ignore him. Just go ahead and sue him."
Tan Xi Yuan responded, "Don't worry, I won't agree to that. I finally see him for who he truly is now—hypocritical and selfish. What's even more ridiculous is his mother. She actually told me to endure it, saying that as a woman who can't bear children, I won't find anyone else after a divorce. She said her son is kind-hearted and wouldn't want to divorce me even if he has someone else outside. She wants me to be grateful and remember his kindness."
"Ugh! Remember his kindness? It makes me sick."
Gu Ya exclaimed, "What a bizarre situation!"
Chen XiaoHui: "The world is a big place, and it's filled with all sorts of people. Don't be upset. Just go ahead and file for divorce. Do whatever you need to do."
Tan Xi Yuan: "And there's that mistress, she messaged me saying my mother-in-law went to take care of her. She's treating her so well, and she even said I'm just a decoration. She mentioned that once she gives birth to the child, my mother-in-law will gift her a villa. She asked if I'm envious."
Li Man: "Well, then I curse her to have a daughter. Let's see if the old lady will still give her a villa."
Tan Xi Yuan: "Hahaha... Li Man, your curse is quite vicious. I bet if she has a daughter, the old lady won't even spare her a glance. I know the old lady's temperament very well."
