Wei Yan comforted Li Hai before calming down to think of a countermeasure.

She was a little conflicted. Initially, she only wanted to report Wei Gang for having an affair. In that case, even if Wei Gang was sent to the Public Security Bureau, if her mother was willing to issue a letter of understanding, at least Wei Gang wouldn’t have a criminal record. But now, it seemed that things couldn’t go on like this.

Ever since they bought a few outfits in the shop last time, Song Jin and her two friends often came to Li Hai’s shop. After they bought groceries, they chatted with Li Hai in the shop.

As time passed, Song Jin had already treated Li Hai as a friend. She also felt very sympathetic to Li Hai’s plight.

However, Song Jin didn’t know that this despicable man who had abused Li Hai was actually a director under her husband.

On this day, Wei Yan followed Li Hai to the shop.

After she recalled the furniture style in her previous life, she specifically hired a carpenter to make some Western-style coffee tables and sofas.

The cost of these furnitures was very low, but after spreading elegant tablecloth on these furnitures, the entire shop looked high-end.

It was already half a month since Wei Yan remodeled this shop. In this half a month, Li Hai’s income was equivalent to that of half a year’s income in the past.

After receiving the customers yesterday, Li Hai pulled Wei Yan to a corner excitedly and showed her the 5,000 yuan she had saved up.

“Yanyan, this is the money I’ve saved up these few days. I still have the capital to replenish stock. This 5,000 yuan is pure profit. Keep this. It’ll be useful when you start high school.”

When she saw Li Hai’s eager gaze, Wei Yan was touched. She remembered that in her previous life, the second year after her mother passed away, she found out that her mother had secretly contacted a lawyer and transferred the 20,000 yuan in her savings and the shop under her name to her.

Be it in her previous life or this life, her mother had always cared so much about her, making Wei Yan’s heart feel warm.

She took the 5,000 yuan, not because she wanted to spend it recklessly, but because she was afraid that Wei Gang would find out if the money was in her mother’s hands.

“Mom, we have to plan for the divorce in the future. This 5,000 yuan is enough for us to rent a place, but this 5,000 yuan can’t be saved in our account. Otherwise, it will be considered shared assets when you get a divorce.”

“How about this, Mom? I think we can give this 5,000 yuan to Sister Zhou Yu first and let her save it for us. Sister Zhou Yu is rich and doesn’t care about this bit of money. Moreover, she’s a reliable person. Mom, do you think this plan is feasible?”

Li Hai nodded and agreed with her daughter’s suggestion unconditionally.

“I’ll listen to you. My daughter is indeed the smartest. You’re always so thoughtful.”

That day, Wei Yan went to Zhou Yu’s house to hand over the money and told Zhou Yu about her plan.

After interacting with Wei Yan for a long time, Zhou Yu knew that Wei Yan was shrewd. Zhou Yu agreed with her idea.

When she came out, Wei Yan saw that a woman looked very much like Li Lin. Wei Yan hurriedly distanced herself from Zhou Yu and quietly followed.

A luxurious car approached from the alley. Li Lin deliberately rushed over and pretended to be hit by the car. Then, she fell to the ground and started to scream in pain.

Wei Yan was speechless. Did Li Lin have to be so shameless? The money Wei Gang gave her should be enough to spend. Why was she still trying to scam people?

At this moment, a man in his mid-twenties walked out of the car. Li Lin immediately stood up and said to the man sweetly, “I was walking too quickly and accidentally bumped into your car. I’m sorry, I didn’t delay your trip, did I?”

Previously, Wei Yan thought that Li Lin was just trying to scam people, but after seeing Li Lin’s performance, she realized that Li Lin was searching for a rich husband.

It had to be said that Li Lin had a good taste in men. This car alone cost 300,000 yuan. In this era, there were not many cars like this in the country.

The man in the suit looked at her impatiently. “My car didn’t touch you at all. Don’t try to pretend here. If you want to extort money, we aren’t people you can scam. If you continue to pester me, don’t blame me for calling the police.”

It was obvious that the other party didn’t want to waste his breath on Li Lin. He looked at Li Lin disdainfully, as if she was a fly.
