Chapter 899: Chapter 900 Toxic Fatherly Love 32

Wu Hao stood at the school gate, thinking to himself, "Should I buy something."

He couldn’t just show up empty-handed. Walking into the fruit shop, he thought it over again, "Forget it, I won’t buy anything. She still has class, how would she carry these things back."

"Besides, it’s likely that the old hag will find out."

"Once the old hag finds out, she’ll definitely put a stop to it. Forget it, I won’t bring anything."

"Giving money is better. If I give money, the kid can buy whatever she wants to eat."

Wu Hao felt that giving money was the most practical option, and it wouldn’t draw anyone’s attention.

Wu Hao walked toward the school, pondering how much money he should give, "If I give too little, the kid won’t take it seriously."

"After all, the rent from the house and shop can match a year’s income."

Wu Hao knew that Li Cuifen wasn’t a stingy person. Now that there was only this one younger generation, her generosity would only increase. "So if I give something, I can’t be stingy. Otherwise, Zhang Yu won’t even remember."

"If I’m generous with the money, how much is considered generous?" Wu Hao thought this was a real problem.

"But if I give too much, and this kid uses the money on food, drink, and leisure, instead of focusing on studying, then what?"

"She’s already in her final year. She must put her mind to studying; otherwise, how will she achieve good results?"

"If the college entrance exam results aren’t good, how can she get into a good university?"

"No, better not to give anything. Kids nowadays need to focus all their energy on studying."

Still, since he came to see Zhang Yu and wanted to ease relations, it wouldn’t make sense to leave with nothing or give nothing.

After thinking it over, Wu Hao decided he wouldn’t leave empty-handed. "I’ll give her a gift after the college entrance exams."

If she achieves good grades, then naturally, he’ll give her a big gift. Otherwise, how can he make the child close to him?

If the exam results aren’t great, then the money for the gift can be saved. If the college entrance exam scores aren’t good enough to get into a good university, what future will there be?

Otherwise, he’ll still end up being asked for help in finding work? His resources are absolutely reserved for his son. Any excess resources would still be left for Wu Min.

After all, the child carries the surname Wu, not Zhang Yu’s surname Zhang. When she’s thriving and in the spotlight, how would anyone associate that with him?

Thinking like this, Wu Hao’s mood immediately improved, and he felt no guilt even as he confronted Zhang Yu.

Facing Wu Hao standing in front of her, Zhang Yu was very surprised. She couldn’t understand why he had come to see her out of the blue.

The two stood in place for a long time without speaking. "If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back. I still have assignments to work on." Zhang Yu didn’t want to waste time. She felt that standing here was less productive than going back to solve mock exam questions.

"Little Yu, I’ve gone to great lengths to find out which high school you’re attending, so I came to see you." Wu Hao wouldn’t let Zhang Yu leave and called out to her.

Only now did he know which school she was studying at. Zhang Yu let out a cold laugh. "With all these layers of secrecy, isn’t it exhausting?"

Wu Hao looked at Zhang Yu in confusion, "What’s wrong?" Could it be that this girl had figured out his intentions?

"Your wife has always known which high school I study at, and you’re saying you only just found out? How hypocritical."

"Have you realized that what you once had firmly in control has exceeded your expectations?"

"You’re panicking, so you came looking for me?" Zhang Yu occasionally heard news about Liu Hui, such as how he had become increasingly gloomy, not to mention his academic performance. Originally middle-upper in ranking, he’s now directly fallen to middle-lower.

His teachers spoke of him only with sighs, lamenting how he could have achieved a decent university admission had he just worked harder. Now, just getting into a second-tier school would be lucky.

See? You don’t need to do anything. Just watch calmly from the sidelines, and someone will ruin themselves.

Liu Hui’s unhappy situation naturally made Feng Min even more anxious.

Wu Hao looked completely baffled. "What are you talking about?"

"I really just found out about your high school." He started to realize that Zhang Yu must be referring to Feng Min.

"Your wife has always known which high school I study at. Don’t tell me you didn’t know. You two are married, you’re a team."

"I didn’t have a father’s love before. I don’t need it now, and I won’t need it in the future either."

"I’m leaving." Zhang Yu turned to leave, and as she passed by the security office, she said, "Sir, I don’t have a father. I only have a grandmother."

"Wu Hao, if you have any sense of dignity, stop coming to find me. When you divorced my mom, you agreed that you wouldn’t contribute to my living expenses."

"You don’t have me as a daughter, so stick to the agreement you signed back then."

"Focus on raising your son and daughter." In her previous life, Wu Jian and Wu Min were quite successful, but that was the result of pouring in a lot of money. Now, without the Zhang family’s financial backing, can Wu Hao and his wife still afford to invest in their children’s development?

Wu Hao watched Zhang Yu as she stormed into the school. The security guard’s disdainful look left him no choice but to leave as well.

Walking down the road, Wu Hao was genuinely angry. "It was just as I thought. The Zhang family is always unreasonable. They must have been constantly badmouthing me in front of Zhang Yu."

"If Zhang Lina had managed to get into university, would I ever have thought this way?"

Wu Hao never considered the fault to be his. In his mind, it was all Zhang Lina’s fault.

"No way. That girl has been completely spoiled by Li Cuifen. She doesn’t understand discipline or respect for her father. That girl must be taught a lesson."

If the girl continues to be this arrogant and unyielding, Wu Hao knows that even if Zhang Yu has a promising future, she will never support or help Wu Jian in any way.

When Wu Hao returned to his office and had barely sat down, Feng Min barged in. "Old Wu, you need to save our daughter."

"What?" Wu Hao looked at Feng Min, puzzled, not understanding why she suddenly said this.

"Isn’t she just attending school? What happened?" Going to school should be all there is to it. How did this suddenly become a call for rescue?

Everyone hearing Feng Min’s outburst turned to look at her, curious about what Wu Hao’s daughter might have done.

Feng Min noticed all the stares and quickly pulled Wu Hao to the stairwell, where she briefly explained the situation. "I mean, seriously, these school teachers—why do they even bother calling parents for something like this?"

Feng Min was already adamant about not wanting to go to the school. Every time she went, it was bad news, either poor grades or some argument.

She originally thought Wu Min’s prior behavior was already bad enough, but it turned out things could get even worse.

In any case, Feng Min no longer wanted to go to the school and decided to let Wu Hao handle the matter.

Wu Hao stared at Feng Min for a long time, "It’s true—’like uncle, like nephew.’ Xiao Min’s behavior is clearly from your Old Feng family’s bad genes."

"How does this have anything to do with Old Feng’s family?" Feng Min immediately bristled with dissatisfaction. "Why is it every time something like this happens, it’s always my family’s fault?"

"Her uncle was always like this—not serious about school, constantly getting called to the principal’s office. If he’d shown more interest in school back then, he wouldn’t have ended up with just a middle school diploma."

"After graduating and getting a job, he stayed the same—not taking work seriously. But then again, slogging at work is tiring. Who wouldn’t prefer just moving their mouth and having money be delivered to their door?"
