Chapter 571: Usually looks very serious
He Nan watched the expressions of both individuals and chose not to expose them, falling silent for a while before asking, "Do you still have the clothes you brought from home?"
"Yes," Shen Mianmian responded with a puzzled nod, "It’s just that I’ve grown a bit too quickly recently, and the clothes have become too small, even the sleeves are now short."
She couldn’t quite grasp his intentions; why would Brother He suddenly ask about this?
He Nan simply ’hmm’d’ nonchalantly, as if he had anticipated this, "Wear that set of clothes to school the day after tomorrow. If you encounter them, don’t worry about anything else, just call the police. Once you’re at the police station, don’t say anything, just cry. They’ll mediate the relationship for you. Insist that you have no money and that they should provide for your tuition and living expenses. You’re still a minor; it’s their obligation to support you."
"Brother He, are you telling me to play the part of a poor, pitiful character?" Shen Mianmian instantly understood He Nan’s meaning.
When Zhou Lanfang came looking for her, it was inevitably about money. They wouldn’t believe that the money was all spent; they would only think of taking her back home to press her for it.
If the police got involved, they certainly wouldn’t allow her schooling to be disrupted. On the contrary, they might even require them to pay for her tuition and living expenses.
Zhou Lanfang was stingy to a fault; asking for money from her was like asking for her life. By then, it wouldn’t be them seeking out Mianmian but rather making themselves scarce, impossible to find.
Brother He always seemed so upright and serious; she hadn’t expected him to have such a devious side.
"Smart," a flicker of amusement crossed He Nan’s eyes.
Aunt Liu and Xiaocui wore blank expressions, both failing to understand what kind of play was unfolding before them, "Would the police really intervene in a family matter?"
