(Note: The skill âShadowless Fingerâ is a nearly lost magical (pickpocketing) technique; the host is advised to use it for rightful purposes.)
Just as Yang Hao doubted the propriety of âShadowless Finger,â he saw the explanation below.
Uh, so itâs a kind of magic trick!
However, Wang Xueruâs task for this young woman was enough to leave Yang Hao speechless.
Either a range hood or protein!
Is that all she thinks about all day long?!!
Indeed, the age of thirty is like a wolf â¦
But the tasks for NPC number 1 and NPC number 2 were pretty simple.
They were the kind that could be completed without any effort.
Next, letâs see what my Yibaoâs task is â¦
Task content: [Filial Daughter-in-Law]
(NPC number 3 longs to meet the hostâs parents)
NPC number 3: I wonder if Yangâs parents will like me; if thereâs a chance to see them, I must perform well!
Itâs a shame I donât have much money, otherwise, Iâd definitely give Yangâs parents a generous gift too!
Task reward: Dedicated filial piety fund of 100,000,000 yuan!
As expected!!
Thatâs my Yibao!!
Wang Xueru, Meng Chacha, can you two learn something from her for fuckâs sake!
Look at Yibaoâs awareness!!
After finishing reading Sun Xinyiâs task, Yang Hao was a bit excited.
In fact, while in Jingmen, Yang Hao had thought of his own parents.
The saying goes, âTo be wealthy and honored and not return home is to glide unseen in the night.â
It was just that the funds in Yang Haoâs account were limited, and he had planned to return once he had accumulated enough wealth.
And now such a task had come up with Yibao!
With just this task, Yibao could be crowned queen!!
Of course, for the moment, the NPC team had only three members, so the competition for the âqueenâ position wasnât very fierce.
Chacha wants to open a dance training center and could be titled âDance Queenâ!
Xueru runs a coffee shop and could be titled âCoffee Queenâ!
Wait a minuteâ¦
Damn, this âCoffee Queenâ seems like something I saw in a comedy sketch; itâs somewhat eye-watering!!
Yang Hao first dropped Meng Yuyu off at Bolli Fitness Center.
Her car was still parked there, and since Manager Meng had just taken the position, with little bitchâs temperament, sheâd definitely want to show off a bit.
âYuyu, youâre back!â
âNo, I mean, Manager Meng!!â
Yu Lili greeted cheerfully.
âManager Meng, when will you give us a raiseâ¦â Zhou Ling teased from the side.
âWell, thatâll depend on your performance~!â
Meng Yuyu smiled and then grandly waved her hand: âIâll send a message in the group later; thereâs a party tonight, my treat!â
âOkay~!â
âManager Meng is so generous!!â
Zhou Ling responded with glee, then went to send the message in Bolli Fitness Centerâs work group.
Whereas Yu Lili felt a mix of emotions. Just a month ago, she and Meng Yuyu had been in similar straits!
Now her plastic bestie had soared in placeâ¦
She owned a 660 square meter storefront and became the manager of such a big fitness center and, from Yangâs attitude, it seemed he had no intention of managing the fitness center himself, it was totally handed over to Meng Yuyu, his mistress, to play with!!
So extravagant!
Inhumanly extravagant!!
Too bad Yang doesnât like my style!!
By this time, Zhou Ling had already sent the message about Meng Yuyuâs treat tonight in the work group.
And the group instantly turned into a large-scale butt-kissing scene.
âManager Meng is so generous!â
âManager Meng is mighty!â
âLong live Manager Mengâ¦â
Meng Chacha scanned the messages in the group, her face beaming with a bright smile, completely lost in the repeated calls of âManager Meng.â
Outside Belle Kindergarten.
Yang Hao parked his car by the roadside.
He had arrived a little early today, and only a few parents were around.
With about fifteen minutes left until Xixiâs school was out, Yang Hao moved the driverâs seat back to lie down in the car for a while.
But just then, someone knocked on the driverâs side window, and Yang Hao looked instinctively outside to see a familiar face.
However, seeing this face made Yang Hao frown.
Because the person was none other than his ex-wife, Li Manshu!
Yang Hao hesitated briefly but still rolled down the window: âWhatâs up?â
âI missed Xixi and came to see her.â
Li Manshu spoke softly, entirely lacking that condescending tone she had outside the civil affairs bureau before.
Furthermore, she was dressed to the nines; her long hair slightly curled, makeup exquisite, wearing a pale yellow Chanel-style suit dress that made her look younger.
If she didnât say she had a child, no one could tell.
âCan I come in to talk?â
Li Manshu pointed to the passenger seat.
âThereâs no need for that. Whatever needed to be discussed, was already finished.â
Yang Hao replied flatly.
Li Manshu seemed to have anticipated this response and didnât react much since her request was a feeler to begin with.
If Yang Hao was willing to let her into the car, it would mean he still harbored some old feelings.
From his reaction, however, it seemed she no longer had any affective value to him.
âHaoâ¦â
Li Manshu suddenly called him by the name they used when they first met.
Fuck!!
Yang Hao felt a chill run down his spine from being called âHaoâ in that tone.
He waved his hands in denial, âLetâs talk business. Please, donât call me that!!â
Seeing this, Li Manshu eyed Yang Hao with a look of deep resentment and then let out a soft sigh before she said, âDuring the time weâve been apart, Iâve often thought back to when we first metâ¦â
âWe were so busy every day in the hotpot restaurant, and looking back now, that feeling of striving for our dreams together was truly blissfulâ¦â
âStop right there!!â
Yang Hao immediately interrupted Li Manshuâs emotional appeal.
Struggling together my ass. He already had three hotpot restaurants when he met Li Manshu, so his business was quite successful!!
What do you think youâre doing, just picking peaches easily, huh??
âLetâs not talk about the past!â
Yang Hao gestured with his hands and said, âAs per the divorce agreement, youâre allowed to visit Xixi once a month.â
âI always keep my promises and wonât deprive you of the right to visit Xixi, but whether Xixi wants to be with you is up to her!â@@novelbin@@
âBesides Xixi, we really have nothing else to talk about!â
Yang Haoâs tone was icy cold; he truly had no fondness left for his ex-wife.
Li Manshu looked at the man in the carâa mix of the familiar and the strangerâher mouth twitching several times before she clenched her fists tight, thinking to herself:
Heâs a billionaire!
Heâs a billionaire!!
Heâs a billionaire!!!
After calming herself, Li Manshu said with regret, âI know I was wrong before, blinded by greed, which led me to make such a foolish decision!â
âIf this has hurt you, I want to apologize to you nowâ¦â
As she spoke, Li Manshu took a step back and then actually bowed deeply to Yang Hao, who was sitting in the car.
And to show her sincerity, the bow was damn near ninety degrees.
Yang Hao caught a glimpse of his ex-wife, who just a month ago had been so arrogant in front of him, and for a moment he felt somewhat dazed.
There was even a bit of vindictive pleasure in his heart.
He was just an ordinary man and far from reaching any lofty state of detachment.
The ex-wife who once looked down on him was now humbly apologizing to him, which did feel awesome!
And the more he thought about it, the more satisfying it got!!
So you regret it now, huh??
You want to reconcile now, huh??
Iâve got one word for you: Scram!!!
Scram as far as you can!!
My place isnât a damn recycling center!
After apologizing, Li Manshu straightened up and then spoke again, âI donât expect you to forgive me right now.â
âBut I hope you can give me a chance to start over.â
âXixi is still young and needs a whole family. No matter how unforgivable my actions were, Iâm still Xixiâs mother!â
âThatâs something no other woman can replaceâ¦â
âStop right there!!â
Yang Hao coldly interrupted Li Manshu again, âWhat on earth do you want?â
âLetâs remarry!â Li Manshu said loudly.
âRemarry???â
Yang Hao was almost driven to laughter, âIâve just barely escaped the pit of fire, and now you want me to jump back in???â
âIs it your brain that has a problem, or is mine?â
âYou think Iâm some kind of fool, huh!!â
âIf you want to see Xixi, you can see her for a bit, then go do whatever you should be doing!â
âDonât even think about remarriage!!â
Yang Hao was utterly exasperated by Li Manshu. He just wanted to smash that emoticon right in her face!!
When I was broke, you ran faster than anyone!
Now that Iâm prosperous, you come back begging for a reunion!
Canât you have some shame, itâs expensive!!
âI just want a chance to start overâ¦â
Li Manshu made a pitiful face, âAnd Iâve already apologized so sincerely!â
Yang Hao laughed and tossed an iconic line from an ancient idol drama at her, âIf apologies worked, what would we need the police for!â
After that, Yang Hao rolled up the car window, not wanting to waste another word on his ex-wife, who could withstand a full-strength blow with her thick skin.
If she went to a world of cultivators, that thick skin would definitely be a top-grade defensive magic item.
âHaoâ¦â
âListen to meâ¦â
Li Manshu knocked on the car window again.
But this âHaoâ almost made Yang Hao vomit. He quickly found his Bluetooth earphones, connected them to his phone, and started playing music.
Finally, the world was peaceful!
And fittingly, the song playing on the phone was themed perfectly: A breakup should be dignified, no one should say sorryâ¦
Seeing that Yang Hao refused to communicate,
Li Manshu clenched her fists once more. Sheâd come prepared, building up her mental defenses.
She knew that Yang Hao must hate her, so sheâd kept her stance very low, primarily to let Yang Hao vent.
In Li Manshuâs view, once he had vented enough, there was a chance he would become more communicative.
But as things were, Yang Hao was truly giving her no opportunity at all!
Deep down, the ex-wife was fuming; she had never been so humbled before.
But on the surface, she couldnât let any of it show, because to do so would make it seem like her apology wasnât sincere enough.
Endure!
She had to endure!!
If she could earn his forgiveness, she would be able to live in a mansion, drive luxury cars, and enjoy a life of luxury!!
Compared to the prosperous life ahead, what were these humiliations worth?
If Han Xin could endure the humiliation of crawling between someoneâs legs, what couldnât she do?
Li Manshu took a deep breath, silently comforting herself, as she calmed the explosive emotions stirring withinâ¦
