Chapter 492: Chapter 2: Women Stand Equal to Men (2)

In the plot, the original protagonist didn’t escape at the beginning. She was carefully groomed by her father for twenty years, and she was capable and had her own opinions.

That woman was not her mother; she was another woman by the pillow. Did her father not notice?

She noticed, didn’t she?

So would her father be in danger?

The original protagonist knew that the person let her off the hook earlier at the risk of their life, so she naturally couldn’t harm him.

Thus, the original protagonist disguised herself and watched the mansion from afar.

She was familiar with the terrain around the mansion, and with some money given by that man before, she had the means to watch nearby.

When she saw her wise father, surprisingly indulging as he took that woman out, the sweetness between them was unbearable, and the original protagonist was completely disappointed.

She knew her father better than anyone. Even when her mother was alive, her father never had such intense emotions in his eyes.

The original protagonist left the city in despair, boarded a train, and headed south.

The original protagonist was quite capable. When she reached the south, she took refuge with a classmate she knew during their overseas studies.

Her classmate’s family was much like hers; he was the only son and naturally was expected to succeed his father’s position.

But even though his father was a warlord leader, the regiment had small factions. Her classmate’s inexperience made him fall behind, and his father wouldn’t intervene. If the son couldn’t handle it, he might not be able to hold the position or earn respect in the future.

The arrival of the original protagonist practically saved her classmate. The two joined forces, quickly regained control, and her classmate finally managed to stand firm.

With the original protagonist’s help, his influence continued to expand.

Everyone assumed that the original protagonist would inevitably become her classmate’s wife in the future.

When people made a fuss about it, her classmate would smile, full of ambiguity.

The original protagonist has been away from the north for three years. During these years, she received news from the north.

That woman gave birth to a son. It was said that her father was overjoyed, hosting a grand banquet that lasted six days.

In the fourth year, the entire state of the country was not good.

Foreign powers eyed the country.

The north was attacked first.

The original protagonist was somewhat worried about her father and prepared to return with a group of people to take a look.

Her classmate, worried about her, picked some people to accompany her.

The original protagonist was moved; although worried for her classmate’s safety, she eventually agreed.

When they arrived in the north, they realized the situation was severe. Of the three cities her father originally controlled, only one remained.

Her father’s forces had also been reduced to a third.

With the original protagonist bringing reinforcements, they managed to break the siege.

Seeing the original protagonist alive and well, the woman naturally knew that the confidant had betrayed her back then.

She was terribly enraged, but as long as the original protagonist protected him, she couldn’t get to him.

The original protagonist’s plan was to unite with her father’s men and reclaim the lost cities, as they were invaders after all.

Her classmate did not object.

However, while the original protagonist and her father were busy outside, the woman and her classmate hooked up.

The original protagonist’s classmate always displayed ambiguous feelings towards her, yet maintained a subtle distance.

But with that woman, their fervor was as if experiencing a long-lost reunion.

When the original protagonist witnessed their disgraceful display, she could hardly believe it.

Yet the reality was that her most trusted friend, even considered to be her future partner, was now with the woman who had harmed her.

The father was equally incredulous, reaching out to kill the original protagonist’s classmate.

But who would have thought it, that woman suddenly pointed a gun at her father.

No matter how capable the original protagonist was, those forces were ultimately her classmate’s men, only listening to his commands.

Moreover, many of her father’s men had been bought off by that woman.

The father and daughter were directly imprisoned.

The person who let the original protagonist off before suffered terribly, being skinned alive and hung at the mansion’s entrance. When the blood stopped flowing, they cut him again until he bled to death.

At this time, her father kept blaming the original protagonist, thinking she brought disaster upon them. He insulted her, claiming he thought she came out of familial love to help, never expecting her to come for revenge, and now they were both ruined.

The original protagonist couldn’t believe her father would think of her this way.

She calmly recounted the events of the past, but her father thought she was still dragging her mother into this.

The original protagonist questioned her father, whether he, as the most intimate lover, really didn’t sense the woman’s changes.

Her father was speechless; he knew what his wife was like, graceful and elegant, yet when she became considerate and turned into a tempting nymph, he felt his blood boiling, turning young and vigorous again.

Seeing her father’s expression, the original protagonist knew what was going on. She was completely disillusioned and would never forgive her father.

At this moment, her classmate and the woman arrived, probably to show off.

The original protagonist then discovered the woman was her classmate’s childhood sweetheart.

However, years ago, the woman’s family was poor while her classmate’s family started thriving. They separated as teenagers.

Later, the woman was violated and died, but fate allowed her to possess the original protagonist’s mother’s body. Seeing her childhood friend, she still remembered him even after so many years.

In the end, the lovers reunited, while the original protagonist was directly handed over to the foreign enemies by her classmate.

The original protagonist was humiliated by those men until death.

As for the original protagonist’s father, he was beaten to death by the classmate.

Her father remained resolutely infatuated with that woman until death.

Especially seeing the woman’s compassionate gaze, he felt it was all worth it.

As a father, he never considered whether he was fair to his wife or daughter.

And that classmate, when handing the original protagonist to the foes, never considered without her whether he’d have today’s status, and didn’t ponder over their friendship.

Li Shuning opened her eyes. In the small pouch pressed beside her left hand, there wasn’t much, just some small loose change and a few wrapped buns.

She hid the majority of her money on her body.

The original protagonist knew her attire looked terrible, but as a woman traveling outside, for safety, she had to dress like this.

Even her face was deliberately dotted with black ointment, creating many little black spots, making her overall appearance truly dreadful.

Li Shuning arrived at the time when she was about to take the train south.
