Chapter 697: How Do You Compare with Jian Li?
Shen Mianmian calculated the days and, realizing her eyes weren’t deceiving her, began to become vigilant.
Gu Jianli must have been released from prison not long ago and had already come to her school to find her, it seemed he had not given up on her, or else, after being locked up for several months, his thoughts had become even more twisted.
She had to be careful.
Meanwhile, after watching Shen Mianmian enter the school, Gu Jianli went to a pharmacy, bought a small bottle of pesticide, and returned to his home in the city.
Wang Erfeng had been staying in the city during this time, planning to set up a small snack business at the school gate, but she hadn’t yet prepared all the equipment. Hearing a knock at the door, she hurried to open it and was startled to see Gu Jianli. Coming to her senses, she grabbed him and began to hit and scold.
"You worthless child, I introduced so many girls to you in the village and you rejected them all, setting your heart on that little vixen. You even got yourself thrown into jail because of her, and we’ve lost all our face. Your brother can’t even lift his head in school, and now you’ve come back? Why didn’t you just die in jail?"
During the few months he was in prison, not a single person from his family came to visit him, and Gu Jianli was already furious. As soon as he came back, his mother clung to him, hitting and scolding without the slightest bit of sympathy, her words full of favor toward his younger brother. Gu Jianli’s anger erupted, and he shoved Wang Erfeng off.
"Enough," he snapped.
Wang Erfeng was taken aback—it was the first time her son had ever yelled at her, "So you’ve grown bold enough to yell at even me now, eh?"
Gu Jianli could not help but roar, beating his chest, "Ever since I was small, you’ve always favored Jianbin. Now that we’re grown, you’re still the same. He’s your son, am I not?"
