Rebirth in the 80s: The Scholar Wife is Cute
Chapter 415 He Nan, what do you mean by this?

Chapter 415: Chapter 415 He Nan, what do you mean by this?

He Nan’s brows furrowed slightly, as though he was pondering Zhou Lanfang’s words.

Seeing this, both Zhou Lanfang and Shen Jianhua were elated. Had they managed to persuade him?

Zhou Lanfang quickly seized the moment to press her advantage, "You are a big boss from the city, reputation is so important! For my girl, being tarnished with such accusations is not good. You’ve hardly interacted with Mianmian and don’t know her temperament."

She sighed as if lamenting the inability to turn iron into steel, "She was led astray by that classmate called Lu Siyuan, never at home, not studying properly, constantly lying and spreading rumors that Jianhua and I abuse her. Look at how well she eats and dresses, who at school has it better than her? If we were truly abusing her, would she look like this now? We were so angry we had no choice but to come to the school to find her. Think about it! If your own daughter was wandering around with a couple of thousand yuan on her, wouldn’t you be upset?"

Listening to his wife slander their daughter, Shen Jianhua felt it was a bit too much, yet he did not object. He guiltily avoided He Nan’s gaze. Regardless of anything else, getting the money back was priority.

With that money, they could start building their house, and he would earn some more for Siyu’s university.

As for Mianmian, they would take her back and properly educate her. In a few years, they could find a husband for her, and maybe once she became a mother, she might understand them,

As a mother, to so seriously wound her own daughter in front of outsiders was unprecedented for He Nan. Observing Shen Jianhua’s indifferent expression, not even blaming Zhou Lanfang, He Nan’s expression grew slightly stern.

"Uncle Shen, hearing your wife speak so harshly of your own daughter, don’t you have anything to say?"

Shen Jianhua, caught off guard, felt embarrassed. He suspected that He Nan already knew everything about his family’s affairs, but he still mustered the nerve to say, "Mianmian, this child, indeed needs discipline."

By saying this, he essentially confirmed Zhou Lanfang’s words.

One could imagine what kind of life Shen Mianmian had led before. Amidst such a toxic environment, for her to remain strong like a small plant growing between cracks, maintaining her integrity, was indeed extraordinary.

Zhou Lanfang saw that He Nan’s expression didn’t seem right, and thinking he had believed her and disapproved of Shen Mianmian, felt encouraged, and quickly said.

"He Nan! I’ve told you so much, when will you give us the money?"

Shen Jianhua also looked at He Nan. A couple of thousand was not a small sum, and he had already planned how to spend it; all that was missing was the money itself.

"Since you talk about her as if she’s worthless, you probably don’t want to spend her money, so it’s better if I keep it," He Nan said with an indifferent face, glancing at the sun. "It’s too hot, and staying out long in the sun can lead to heatstroke. You should go home early!"

Shen Jianhua: "..."

Zhou Lanfang: "..."

The expressions on their faces froze.

Zhou Lanfang was the first to snap out of it, pressing for an answer, "He Nan, what do you mean by this?"

Was he not giving them their money?

"Literal meaning." He Nan said.

Zhou Lanfang: "..."

He really wasn’t going to give it?

Her complexion darkened instantly. Had he been taking her for a fool all along, watching her make a mockery of herself?

She was so angry she saw stars, yet she didn’t dare scold He Nan the way she had scolded Lu Siyuan, fully aware that the money was in He Nan’s hands but powerless to do anything about it.

She elbowed Shen Jianhua, but he did not react at all, which made Zhou Lanfang incredibly angry!

Dominant and abusive at home, yet so cowardly in front of others.

Was this even a man?
