After the divorce, I trained my dog, and the scumbag father and son knelt down at my door.

One step deep, one step shallow.

Yan Niannian looked dazed.

Ge Jinzhen's words kept replaying in his mind.

The principal's depression was only mild and far from enough to warrant suicide.

At that time, she was also planning to buy ingredients to cook something delicious for herself and her children.

The headmistress... never blamed her at all?!

"Phew!" Yan Niannian took a deep breath, her eyes reddening.

Yes.

What mother would truly blame her own child?

Immediately afterwards, Yan Niannian narrowed her eyes.

Slowly clenching her fist, the tears were gradually forced back.

A cold light flickered in the depths of his eyes.

There's something fishy about the headmaster's death.

Who did it?

No matter what, I must find the murderer to comfort the principal's spirit in heaven.

correct.

Sister Xue.

Yan Niannian thought of He Xue; He Xue knew many people, and she decided to ask her for help.

But just then, a figure suddenly rushed out and blocked Yan Niannian's path.

Caught off guard, Yan Niannian almost bumped into the person.

Yan Niannian subconsciously took two steps back and looked up.

The person who stopped him was Dong Yan.

Feeling disgusted, Yan Niannian couldn't help but frown.

What bad luck!

At this moment, how did we encounter this obstacle again?

She had no interest in paying attention to her.

So the next moment, Yan Niannian withdrew her gaze and prepared to walk around Dong Yan and leave.

"Yan Niannian, stop!" To her surprise, Dong Yan blocked her way again.

"A good dog doesn't block the way, don't you understand?" Yan Niannian raised her eyebrows coldly, her attitude unfriendly.

"You..." Dong Yan's face turned pale and then red with anger.

If it were before, she would have already started cursing.

They might even resort to violence.

But now...

Thinking of Zhuo Yuchen, Dong Yan felt a pang of pain in her heart, and her arrogant demeanor immediately subsided.

But unable to let go of her high self-esteem, Dong Yan puffed out her chest and said, "Yan Niannian, I'm giving you a chance now. You can go to the hospital to see Yu Chen."

"I allow you to stay by his side for a while."

"If you behave well, I might agree to let you and my son remarry."

"Ah!"

Yan Niannian almost laughed out of anger at her self-righteousness.

"Dong Yan, can't you see the situation right now?"

"Who gave you the courage to put on an act in front of me? Listen carefully, it's me who doesn't want your son anymore, I wouldn't even take him if he were given to me for free."

"Get out of my way! Don't waste my time."

Yan Niannian raised her hand and pushed Dong Yan directly.

Dong Yan stumbled and almost fell.

Yan Niannian's increasingly demanding and unreasonable behavior infuriated her.

But now...

This is not the time to be angry.

"Yan Niannian, what will it take for you to go to the hospital to visit Yu Chen?" Dong Yan shouted, clenching her fists as she stared at Yan Niannian's retreating figure.

Yan Niannian paused in her steps.

Turning her head, she glanced at her disdainfully, "Dong Yan, beg me!"

"Maybe, I'll think about it carefully."

"You..." Dong Yanzhi's fingertips clenched so tightly they cracked, a breath caught in her chest, her eyes wide as if she were about to vomit blood.

What is her identity?

What is Yan Niannian's identity?

Should she beg him for mercy?

How can it be!

Isn't that equivalent to taking a knife and cutting off her flesh?

"Ha!" Yan Niannian sneered.

How could she not see through Dong Yan's thoughts?

"My time is precious. I'll only give you ten seconds to consider." Glancing at the time, Yan Niannian calmly began the countdown, "One, two, three..."

"I……"

Dong Yan panicked.

An unprecedented sense of urgency caused beads of sweat to drip uncontrollably from her forehead.

She never dreamed that one day she would be driven to this point by Yan Niannian, whom she despised the most.

"Nine……"

Seeing that Yan Niannian was about to count to ten, Dong Yan's mind went blank, and she hurriedly shouted, "Wait!"

"Okay, Yan Niannian, I...I..."

After a pause, Dong Yan gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and then continued, "I beg you, please go to the hospital to see Yu Chen."

"He...has been waiting for you."

Despite the humiliation and pain in her heart, Dong Yan gritted her teeth and uttered those last words.

Although she was unwilling to admit it, she had no choice but to.

Yan Niannian simply looked at her indifferently.

Unmoved.

Its dominant manner resembles the playful interaction between a cat and a mouse.

Dong Yan couldn't help but feel nervous.

"I..." After a moment, under her hopeful gaze, Yan Niannian slowly opened her mouth, "I refuse."

"Yan Niannian!" Dong Yan's face instantly darkened, and she almost ground her teeth to powder. "How dare you play me like that! You promised me but then went back on your word!"

"What did I promise you?" Staring at her ferocious face, Yan Niannian couldn't help but find it funny.

"You said that as long as I begged you, you would..."

As she was speaking, Dong Yan suddenly stopped.

Her pupils dilated.

Seeing this, Yan Niannian knew that Dong Yan had remembered.

The mocking curve of her lips deepened as she pressed on sarcastically, "So what if I am?"

"Ok?"

"Damn it!" Dong Yan clenched her fists, her teeth grinding together.

Yan Niannian just said that she would consider it if he asked her, but she did not actually agree to visit Zhuo Yuchen in the hospital.

She was tricked by that little bitch.

Too lazy to waste any more of her precious time on Dong Yan, Yan Niannian turned around and left.

Dong Yan opened her mouth wide and gasped for breath.

Her face was deathly pale, and she was having difficulty breathing.

A sense of humiliation, accompanied by waves of throbbing pain, rose from her heart and quickly swept through her entire body, making her sway and on the verge of fainting.

……

Yan Niannian rushed to Jinsheng Dim Sum Restaurant.

She was going to see He Xue.

But to their surprise, the staff at Jinsheng Dim Sum Shop told them that they hadn't seen He Xue for two days either.

The person didn't come, and we couldn't get through on the phone.

"What? How could this be?" Yan Niannian was shocked.

Jin Sheng Dim Sum was founded by He Xue.

Having reached this level of success, Yan Niannian knows better than anyone how much effort He Xue has put in and how much she cares about this career.

They would never disappear without a reason.

Yan Niannian quickly took out her phone and called He Xue.

But all I got was a series of mechanical and indifferent female voices: "Hello, the number you dialed is currently switched off..."

Yan Niannian's heart sank.

Her fingertips, gripping the phone, trembled uncontrollably. Only she knew that beneath her seemingly calm exterior, she was actually panicking.

Is it...

Is tragedy about to repeat itself?

She has already lost the headmaster, she can't... she can't lose another loved one.

"Hoo!" Taking a deep breath, Yan Niannian forced herself to calm down.

She asked the staff who were closest to He Xue what He Xue had been busy with before the news broke, and whether there was anything unusual about her.
