183: Chapter 183 Everything is fake except for the money.

With Luo Wei's status,

dealing with a rural shrew like Wang Yanhong

was like using a cannon to swat a mosquito; it was far too trivial.

At this moment, Wang Yanhong felt her dignity being trampled into the dirt by Luo Wei.

She had always looked down on him, believing he would never amount to anything in his life.

Seeing him successful now was more painful than being killed!

Her daughter, whom she took such pride in, had actually become Luo Wei's plaything!

This realization filled her with fury and drove her mad!

Yet, in front of Luo Wei, she didn't dare show even a hint of her anger.

Seeing Wang Yanhong lower her head in humiliation, no longer daring to lash out,

Luo Wei didn't intend to keep grinding her dignity into the ground.

However, he spotted a piece of information above Wang Yanhong's head.

'Wang Yanhong has decided to have her daughter squeeze money out of you like crazy.'

This shrew had accepted the fact that her daughter was a rich man's plaything with startling ease.

Furthermore, she actually intended to have her daughter go after his money relentlessly!

Luo Wei had almost thought she had some backbone.

He retrieved a bad luck talisman from his inventory.

Then, Luo Wei patted Wang Yanhong on the shoulder.

He funneled the bad luck talisman into the woman's body.

When Luo Wei and his sister were children, they had been frequently discriminated against and verbally abused by this rural shrew!

This woman had left a deep psychological scar on the two siblings!

Since they had crossed paths again, besides trampling her dignity,

Luo Wei decided to send her to hell!

"Alright, we won't interrupt your mother-daughter reunion any longer!"

"Yaoyao, let's go!"

"Mm!"

Luo Xiyao took Luo Wei's arm and swaggered back to the car.

Not long ago, her brother had said he was taking her to show off!

Luo Xiyao had indeed acted quite arrogantly in front of Wang Yanhong!

Trampling Wang Yanhong and her haughty daughter underfoot felt incredibly satisfying!

The unpleasantness from her childhood and the gloom that had lingered in her heart vanished in an instant!

Luo Xiyao felt an immense sense of joy and lightheartedness!

After getting into the car, she couldn't help but pout her lips and give her brother a quick peck on the cheek!

Her brother had made something of himself, and the feeling of him helping her hold her head high was truly wonderful!

"Bro, when are we going back to the village to show those people what's what?" Luo Xiyao couldn't wait to return home in glory!

She wanted all those who had once looked down on them to have their jaws drop in shock!

"Maybe some other day," Luo Wei replied, as he had no plans to return to his hometown for the time being.

"Okay, let's go back after my summer vacation starts!"

Luo Xiyao was quite looking forward to it!

Although she wasn't usually one to act high-profile,

the feeling of showing off in front of others was truly indescribable!

"Alright!" Luo Wei ended the topic. "I happen to be free today. Is there anywhere special you want to go? I'll take you!"

"Really?" Luo Xiyao's eyes lit up. "I heard Sister Xiaohe say you're very busy and often don't come home at night..."

At the mention of not coming home at night, Luo Xiyao's voice grew softer as she thought about Zhang Meiru calling Luo Wei 'Master.'

Her brother was probably with people like Zhang Meiru when he stayed out.

He had just mentioned something about punishing Zhang Meiru tonight.

'Luo Xiyao thinks her brother is a big bad guy.'

Luo Wei's Intelligence Eye caught the information appearing above his sister's head.

He reached out and pinched his sister's chubby, doll-like face.

"What? You think I'm a big bad guy?"

"No matter how bad I am, I'm still your brother!"

"Stay out of adult business!"

Her inner thoughts had been discovered!

Luo Xiyao sheepishly stuck out her tongue.

She quickly changed the subject. "Bro, take me to the zoo or the aquarium!"

"I've been living with you in Honghai City since you started university, but we've never been to places like that!"

Hearing this made Luo Wei feel quite guilty; in the past, all his time had been spent on work-study programs.

He nodded without hesitation. "It's so hot today, let's go to the aquarium. We'll go to the zoo another day!"

"Yay!" Luo Xiyao cheered. "Brother is the best!"

This girl was acting excited on purpose!

But her joyful mood was certainly genuine.

Luo Wei drove the car, leading the young girl away from Ninth Middle School.

Watching the siblings leave, Wang Yanhong let out a long sigh of relief.

Luo Wei's presence was too overwhelming; he made it hard for her to even breathe.

Zhang Meiru stood aside in trepidation, her head lowered and hands clasped, expecting her mother to give her a harsh scolding.

To her surprise, her mother, who usually had such high expectations, didn't scold her. Instead, she took her hand with a look of heartache.

"That little brat! He thinks he can bully my daughter just because he has a bit of money!"

"Meiru, it doesn't matter if you can't escape his clutches!"

"You have to find every possible way to get money out of him!"

"How about this: give me a hundred thousand yuan every month, and I'll save it for you."

"Don't worry, once that brat dumps you, I'll give the money back so you'll have something to rely on!"

Hearing this, Zhang Meiru pulled her hand away, refusing to let her mother hold it.

Her mother didn't feel sorry for her at all; she only had eyes for money!

Wouldn't it be better to save the money she got from Luo Wei herself?

Why should she hand it over to her mother?

Zhang Meiru knew exactly what her mother was planning!

Previously, all the money her father earned had been given to her mother for safekeeping.

However, one day when her father needed money, he discovered there was nothing left in her mother's bank account!

Her mother had lent all the money her father had worked so hard to save to her own brother, and it was the kind of loan that would never be repaid!

Now, her mother wanted her to give her a hundred thousand yuan a month; she was definitely trying to get money for her uncle again!

Zhang Meiru's eyes welled with tears. "Mom, don't you care about me at all?"

"Of course I do! You're my own flesh and blood!"

"But as things stand, don't overthink it. Instead of struggling and agonizing, you might as well enjoy it!"

"That's just how the world is now. Plenty of girls in their early twenties become girlfriends to men in their fifties or sixties."

"That brat Luo Wei isn't bad-looking, and he's not old. Just bear with it, and it'll pass!"

"In this world, everything is fake; only money is real!"

"Remember, you have to constantly find excuses to ask for money!"

"You have to give me a hundred thousand yuan every month!"

"It's a deal, then. I won't keep you from your work!"

Wang Yanhong waved and strode away from the School Supermarket.

She was in a rather good mood, preparing to go brag to her friends in Honghai City that her daughter would be giving her a hundred thousand yuan a month.

However, just as she stepped out of the school gates, she stumbled and fell to the ground. Though it wasn't a bad fall, her clothes were torn.

She scrambled up in embarrassment, stomped her foot hard on the ground, and continued walking while grumbling.

But before she had gone much further, she tripped and fell again...
