*Warning: the content below might not be suitable for children under the age of 13. If you’re under this age, please read with caution.*

Yu Shi Lan’s eyes narrowed.

Looking at Wang Kai Tan’s confident look, she felt that it was really hilarious. He really wanted to force her.

No negotiation.

No pretense.

But it was a direct force.

“I don’t want to,” Yu Shi Lan said slowly.

“Do you still think that you have other options?” Wang Kai Tan sneered as he looked at Yu Shi Lan in front of him. Her appearance was actually quite similar to her father but leaning far more feminine and beautiful.

She was originally very skinny as Wang Kai Tan and Su Wan Rou never cared too much about her nutrition and so on. For them, as long as Yu Shi Lan remained alive, it would be more than enough.

Wang Kai Tan never paid more attention than necessary.

The skinny and pale Yu Shi Lan was completely different from her current appearance. At that time, she looked more like a ghost that was barely surviving.

But now…

Yu Shi Lan looked very healthy and even though it was extremely cold over here, she was still wearing thin clothes. Yet her expression didn’t seem to express that she was cold in the slightest bit.

It was an odd thing.

But the impatient Wang Kai Tan and the others around him could no longer wait. They knew that this girl had somehow learned some martial arts and if they couldn’t coerce her this time, then there wouldn’t be any other chance in the future.

“You’ve never change, Wang Kai Tan,” Yu Shi Lan whispered in a low voice.

She could still remember many things from the past.

Wang Kai Tan’s indifference, his coldness towards her, and his arrogance. The young her was scared and didn’t dare to fight against Wang Kai Tan. Because she knew that he’s her adoptive father.

But she always asked herself…

Why is Wang Kai Tan so different from her own father?

Yu Shi Lan once wanted to curry favor with Wang Kai Tan, but he never treated her well. She remembered how she excitedly ran to Wang Kai Tan in the past but he brushed her aside and the light in her eyes dimmed in disappointment.

How much she hoped that Wang Kai Tan could be kinder to her.

Ah…

Her past life is really nothing more than a stupid girl making stupid choices as if there was no other choice in life.

Yu Shi Lan didn’t know whether she regretted it or not.

But the miracle of turning back time might not happen again, so even if she has some regret, she would bury it deep in her heart.

No matter what Wang Kai Tan has become, it was not her business in the slightest bit. She hated him and this will never change in her entire life.

In the future, she will never ever trust Wang Kai Tan ever again.

In fact, she only felt nothing more than disgust towards Wang Kai Tan.

“Don’t be so impolite to your father.” Wang Kai Tan sneered. “Sign it, Yu Shi Lan!”

Yu Shi Lan looked at the documents that Wang Kai Tan had prepared, but she didn’t bother to read it.

No matter where, Wang Kai Tan would never treat her well.

He would always try to make things difficult for her and also take the pension from her father that should have belonged to her. The compensation from the country was taken by someone who should not have obtained it in the first place.

“I’m curious Wang Kai Tan… why are you so fixated with my father’s pension?” Yu Shi Lan asked slowly.

Wang Kai Tan is not that poor.

Even without the pension from her father, it was not impossible for Wang Kai Tan to live. At most, he just have to be a bit more frugal in his expense and everything would be solved.

But why…

Why does Wang Kai Tan so fixated with the pension from her father?

“You don’t need to know this.” Su Wan Rou glared at Yu Shi Lan fiercely. She felt annoyed that this woman was trying to delay the time. “Sign it, Yu Shi Lan!”

Yu Shi Lan didn’t bother looking at Wang Kai Tan and Su Wan Rou. She glanced at the few people around her and recognized them as the neighbors in that apartment.

They were the same neighbors who used to watch the fun of the Wang Family.

She could even call out their names.

But now, they were all standing by Wang Kai Tan’s side.

Clearly…

They had also enjoyed the benefit from her father’s pension.

But it’s outrageous.

No matter what her father did, there was no way the compensation would be that generous to allow several families to live well.

So…

“Did someone ask you to do this, Wang Kai Tan?” Yu Shi Lan suddenly asked.

Xiao Mao, who was listening in, was stunned.

Her brain was even worse than Yu Shi Lan, so she couldn’t even think in this direction. But she quickly realized why Yu Shi Lan was so suspicious of Wang Kai Tan.

If it was not someone who gave him order, why would Wang Kai Tan do this?

Wang Kai Tan’s face remained dark and stern. “It’s not your business. Just sign it and stay obediently at home! If you don’t want to suffer, you have to listen to our words!”

His tone when he spoke was full of confidence.

It seemed that Wang Kai Tan was absolutely sure that Yu Shi Lan would never refuse.

“How could it not be my business? Wang Kai Tan, don’t be so self righteous.” Yu Shi Lan remained calm, but who knows how much killing intent she had suppressed?

These people were all the same as Wang Kai Tan.

They were actually the insiders and pretended to play the kind neighbors.

Ah…

At this moment, Yu Shi Lan regretted saving their lives.
