Chapter 414: Chapter 414: Spoiling the Broth

"During the examination period, no one is allowed into the school unless they’re a teacher or a student."

He had been watching for a while, observing the behavior of this shameless couple, but ultimately, it was someone else’s family affair, and he didn’t feel it was his place to intervene. However, now that they were trying to get into the school, he couldn’t possibly let her in.

What if they caused a commotion inside? How could the other students concentrate on their exams?

He couldn’t let an outsider, a stinking rat, spoil the whole pot of soup.

"My daughter is inside. Why can’t I go in? Move aside, you gatekeeping dog," Zhou Lanfang started to make a scene, shouting and cursing. That was more than a thousand yuan at stake! If she lost it, she’d be furious!

"You... How can you, as a parent, speak like that?" The male teacher’s ears turned red with anger from Zhou Lanfang’s insults.

"So what if I cussed you out? You’re just a gatekeeping dog. If you’re not, then why are you blocking me? Gatekeeping dog, gatekeeping dog..." Zhou Lanfang saw the male teacher getting angrier and became even more gleeful in her cursing.

He Nan looked over at Zhou Lanfang with an expressionless face, his brows furrowing deeply, "Uncle Shen, the money is with me. If there’s any issue, we can talk about it. There’s no need to make a fuss at the school."

Shen Jianhua: "..."

Since the moment Shen Mianmian had spoken those words, his face had turned an angry purple, and it took him a long time to speak. Now, hearing He Nan say this, he almost passed out from anger.

Seeing Shen Mianmian empty-handed, he had suspected that she gave the money to He Nan, but he hadn’t expected it to be true.

To give money to an unrelated outsider instead of her own parents, what did he even raise?

Now that the money was with He Nan and Shen Jianhua was afraid of He Nan and also concerned about face-saving, he couldn’t bring himself to ask for it, so he called Zhou Lanfang back.

"Lanfang, don’t make a scene at the school. The money is with He Nan; he’s keeping it safe for Mianmian."

He sounded casual, as if it meant nothing else, but anyone who understood the situation knew what he was implying.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Zhou Lanfang stopped bothering with the teacher, who was red-faced with anger, and hurried over. However, she didn’t dare to treat He Nan the way she did the male teacher.

Her attitude was still not great, "He Nan, Jianhua and I are still alive and well. We don’t need someone else to keep our family’s money. Besides, if it really needs to be kept safe, it should be in a bank. What’s the meaning of keeping it with you?"

That was a sum of one or two thousand yuan, not just one or two. She’d throw herself at a tiger, let alone He Nan, for that amount of money.

Shen Jianhua stood to the side, silent. He was too concerned with saving face to ask for the money directly, but it was the same for Zhou Lanfang.

He Nan saw through Shen Jianhua’s intentions, his brow slightly creased, disapproving of his actions.

To be a father, yet not act like one, to be a husband but too concerned about his so-called face, letting his wife ask for the money.

"As long as she’s willing to put it there, it’s reasonable to keep it wherever she likes."

"What’s reasonable about that? You little wild...," Zhou Lanfang almost called him a "wild seed," but upon noticing He Nan’s face turn colder, she got frightened and quickly corrected herself, "Mianmian is still young, she doesn’t know about the wickedness in people’s hearts. To put it nicely, you’re keeping the money for her, but to put it bluntly, isn’t this just scamming her?"

She didn’t dare to make a scene with He Nan, and for the first time, she started to reason with someone.

After over twenty years of marriage, Shen Jianhua realized for the first time that his wife, known for making a scene, could actually argue a point logically, and her eloquence was even better than his.
