Jiang Pengfei's expression changed: "No, I can't stop them now! How can I just watch them date?"

“No, no…”

Li Mu said, "Uncle, this kind of thing needs to be done indirectly. Nan Sun wants to associate with Zhang Anren. Not stopping him doesn't mean we won't do anything."

“Nan Sun has never suffered since childhood, and she has never lacked money. She doesn’t know the hardships of life. If we want her to see reality clearly and seriously consider whether her relationship with Zhang Anren is appropriate, we need to let her adapt to society in advance and experience some hardship.”

Jiang Pengfei pondered for a moment and nodded: "Mr. Luo, what you said makes sense, but what should I do?"

Li Mu said, "I was speaking too frankly with someone I don't know well. I hope Nansun won't take offense."

Jiang Pengfei glared and said, "She dares to do that! It's all for her own good!"

Li Mu said, "Since Nan Sun just returned the clothes and bags to her family to prove her independence, you can go along with it and discuss with Auntie that she will only give Nan Sun a basic living allowance each month, and no other expenses will be given. All her cards will also be suspended."

“Nan Sun is still in school and doesn’t have much income; Zhang Anren hasn’t stayed on at the university yet, so his income isn’t high either. They also have to pay their mortgage, so his meager salary isn’t enough for both of them.”

"Besides, Nan Sun is used to spending money lavishly. Zhang Anren's salary, after paying off the mortgage, isn't even enough for her to buy a single piece of clothing. Without you supporting her, even if Nan Sun doesn't buy clothes, her monthly expenses for hair styling, beauty treatments, high-end cosmetics, dining out, and daily life... are not a small amount."

"Once people get used to a high-quality life, it's hard to go back to it; it's easy to go to luxury but hard to go to frugality."

"Nan Sun is at the age of blossoming youth, a time for romance, yearning for carefree days under the moon and amidst flowers. But with Zhang Anren, how much will be left after paying off the mortgage on his meager salary? Will she still be able to enjoy romantic moments under the moon? How can she live a quality life?"

"Without family support, Nan Sun can no longer afford to go to high-end salons for hair treatments; she can only go to ordinary barbershops on the street."

"I can't afford high-end cosmetics anymore, so I have to reluctantly downgrade; I can't eat out as I please anymore either, I don't have any extra money, so going out a few times a month is a rare treat."

"Other daily expenses also need to be reduced across the board. We need to be very careful with our money every day. If we overspend even a little, we won't have enough for living expenses, and even eating will become a problem."

“Poverty-stricken couples face endless sorrows. Let Nan Sun endure a period of hardship, carefully calculating every penny for a meager living, otherwise she might struggle to survive. Only by witnessing the hardships of life can she understand your good intentions, Uncle.”

At first, Jiang Pengfei didn't care, but the more he listened, the brighter his eyes became. Clearly, what Li Mu said was exactly what he wanted to hear. He clapped his hands and laughed, "Mr. Luo, what you said makes sense. Nan Sun has never suffered since she was a child. She doesn't know the hardships of life and doesn't know that I'm doing this for her own good."

"It's time to teach her a lesson and wake her up. I'll cancel her card and take back her allowance."

“Zhang Anren is so poor, how could he afford to support her? How could he spend money on her like I do? It’s good for her to face reality.”

As he picked up his phone, about to disconnect Nan Sun's SIM card, Li Mu advised, "Uncle, don't rush. You should discuss this with Auntie and reach an agreement before doing anything."

Jiang Pengfei waved his hand and said, "Your aunt doesn't care about anything and is too soft-hearted. Even though she's not happy with Zhang Anren, she won't say anything to make her daughter happy. There's no need to discuss this with her."

Li Mu said, "Uncle, you should discuss this properly and reach an agreement."

"Auntie loves Nansun so much, how could she watch her suffer? If you don't discuss this properly, Auntie will definitely take Nansun away from home in the future."

"In this way, Nansun will not be short of money, and his goal will not be achieved."

Jiang Pengfei frowned. Thinking about his wife's gentle and submissive personality, he realized that if the two of them didn't discuss it properly and reach an agreement, this kind of thing was bound to happen.

He nodded: "Mr. Luo, you make a good point. I will work on Nan Sun's mother. Although it will be tough for Nan Sun for a while, it is for her future. Her mother will agree."

Li Mu said, "As long as you keep a good watch on your side, I believe Nansun will appreciate your good intentions."

"However, Uncle, you must be firm. Giving up halfway will not achieve any results. Don't worry about Nansun. With Suosuo here, she won't suffer any losses."

Jiang Pengfei held Li Mu's hand: "Mr. Luo, don't worry. You and Suosuo should take good care of Nansun. Let me know if anything happens."

"Don't worry, it'll be okay."

The two chatted for a few more minutes, then Li Mu checked the time and, fearing that Jiang Nansun was getting impatient, said goodbye.

Before leaving, they exchanged phone numbers again before leaving the Jiang family's house.

Chapter 189 Insolence and Seeking a Beating

After leaving the Jiang family residence, Jiang Nansun was already waiting in front of the car for a while.

"Jiaming, I'm sorry to trouble you to come all this way. You're making a fool of yourself in my family's affairs."

Li Mu said, "It's nothing, every family has its own problems."

Jiang Nansun glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, and said, "My dad is full of feudal ideas. I don't know what nonsense he's spouting to you again. Don't listen to him."

Li Mu smiled and said, "No, Uncle is quite kind."

Jiang Nansun wrinkled her delicate nose: "He's not kind at all, he's just a snob. Zhang Anren is so outstanding, but he's nothing in his eyes. He just wants me to find some rich kid or a rich second generation."

"I'm all grown up now. I have my own thoughts, my own judgment, and I know what I want."

Li Mu said, "Nan Sun, don't blame me for speaking so frankly since we're not old friends. Actually, I understand your uncle quite well. It would be uncomfortable if your little princess, whom you've raised with such care since she was a child, were suddenly tricked away by some poor boy."

"Your uncle may have other ideas or his own interests to consider, but he actually cares about you quite a bit."

Jiang Nansun was clearly still angry. Hearing this, she snorted and said, "Don't be fooled by his words. I know what he's thinking. He just wants to find a rich and powerful man from high society. That's what he wants."

"As for his character and whether we get along, he doesn't care!"

Li Mu comforted him, "Don't be so pessimistic. Your uncle may have had his own selfish motives in this matter, but he wouldn't push you into a fire pit."

Jiang Nansun said angrily, "He doesn't respect my opinion at all, and he doesn't care about my thoughts. He's like my grandmother; he likes boys and wants to carry on the family line! It's just that I'm a girl."

Li Mu was taken aback for a moment, then asked curiously, "Nan Sun, male grandson, your name is quite unique. Did your grandmother give it to you?"

Jiang Nansun nodded: "My grandmother was so obsessed with wanting a grandson that she was almost driven mad. The birth of my granddaughter greatly disappointed her, so she gave her this name."

Li Mu said, "It's true that older people have a serious preference for sons over daughters, but after all, she's their own granddaughter, so they won't mistreat you."

Jiang Nansun opened her mouth, unable to refute this statement. Although her grandmother disliked her for being a granddaughter, she had always had the best of everything from childhood, and had never suffered any grievances.

After the car left Fuxing Road, Jiang Nansun's mood improved considerably, and he seemed to have come to terms with things.

She glanced around the area and suddenly said, "Jiaming, could you stop up ahead for a moment? My aunt has a house nearby that's being renovated, and she asked me to look after it."

"I've been busy these past few days and haven't been able to go. Since it's nearby, I thought I'd just drop by to check on the renovation progress and take a few photos, so I don't have to make another trip tomorrow."

Li Mu said, "Okay, it's fine."

The car turned a corner and stopped next to an old-fashioned residential building a few hundred meters away.

Jiang Nansun hurriedly got out of the car: "Jiaming, wait for me for a few minutes, I'll be down soon."

Li Mu smiled and said, "No rush."

Jiang Nansun smiled faintly, turned and walked towards the residential building. Wearing a white top, light blue jeans, and carrying a beige bag, she appeared even more elegant and refined.

She had only been gone for half a minute when another girl came to the entrance of the residential building and was making a loud phone call.

"You heartless scumbag, tell me if you have another girlfriend, and if so, tell me who she is."

"There are so many houses here, where are you? How am I supposed to find you!"

As he spoke, he took the phone and hurried inside.

Li Mu felt that the situation was somewhat familiar, and the girl also looked familiar. Wasn't that Professor Dong's daughter in the drama, Lillian?

So what? Next, according to the plot, in order to get rid of Lillian, Wang Yongzheng will... Thinking of this, Li Mu hurriedly got out of the car and followed him inside.

As soon as I entered the apartment building, I could hear Lillian's voice from afar: "Wang Yongzheng, you scumbag, why are you avoiding me? Why won't you answer my calls?"

"You're actually dating another woman here! We eat together, sing karaoke, and stay out all night. Doesn't that make us boyfriend and girlfriend?"

As Li Mu reached the door, he saw Wang Yongzheng ignoring Jiang Nansun's resistance, forcefully embracing her, and introducing her to Lillian beside him: "Since that's the case, I won't hide it from you anymore. This is my real girlfriend. We've been dating for a while now. Lillian, we're just friends, it's impossible."

Lillian refused to accept it: "I don't believe you. Didn't you say a few days ago that you didn't have a girlfriend? You were lying, you're faking it."

Wang Yongzheng didn't argue, and pretended to kiss Jiang Nansun. Although he knew that the other party wouldn't dare to be too presumptuous and was probably just putting on an act, Jiang Nansun was still frightened and struggled to hide to the side.

In front of Lillian, Wang Yongzheng was unwilling to let go. He grabbed Jiang Nansun's arm with one hand and turned her shoulder with the other. Before he could make a further move, a figure flashed in.

Wang Yongzheng felt a numbness in his arm, and his hands instantly loosened. Then, it felt as if something had hit his chest hard, and he stumbled back a few steps, landing on his bottom.

Looking up, I noticed there was another person in the room.

Jiang Nansun broke free from the entanglement, startled, and patted her chest. Looking at Li Mu who had suddenly appeared, she felt a strange sense of security and a sweet feeling in her heart: "Jiaming, what brings you here? Thank you for earlier."

Li Mu said, "You're welcome. I was bored downstairs, so I came to take a look."

He stared at Wang Yongzheng and said, "Who is this?! Acting like a hooligan in broad daylight, you've got some nerve!"

"Why did you hit me? How could you do this!" Lillian glared at Li Mu and rushed forward to help Wang Yongzheng, but he shoved her away.

Wang Yongzheng is a very proud person, always putting on an arrogant air. From his first appearance, you can tell he's a restless individual. Upon meeting Jiang Nansun and learning that his aunt intends to match them up, but Jiang Nansun already has a boyfriend, he becomes extremely aggressive towards Zhang Anren.

When people first met Zhang Anren, they greeted him, but he looked at them sideways with disdain on his face.

After that, every time the two met, Zhang Anren was always amiable and accommodating, while Wang Yongzheng was always disdainful and belittling, displaying an attitude of looking down on the other.

In private, when Wang Yongzheng angered Jiang Nansun, Zhang Anren would comfort Nansun, telling her to be patient and not to take Wang Yongzheng too seriously, and to live her own life well. However, Wang Yongzhong never said a good word to Zhang Anren in private, always using derogatory terms like "incompetent," "hypocritical," and "petty person."

Why is Wang Yongzheng so hostile towards Zhang Anren? Well, Zhang Anren isn't exactly a bad person; he's just a bit cunning and knows how to think of himself. There are plenty of people in school who are worse than Zhang Anren.

Why did Wang Yongzheng only focus on Zhang Anren and ignore his worse colleagues, but instead treat them kindly and became one of them?

Chapter 190: Dirty and Dusty

Ultimately, Wang Yongzheng also likes Jiang Nansun. Zhang Anren is Jiang Nansun's boyfriend, and he doesn't like him. He usually acts rather weak, so who else would he target if not him?

Despite Wang Yongzheng's outwardly calm demeanor, he secretly creates opportunities for ambiguity with Jiang Nansun, and this forced embrace incident is just one example; in the future, when Zhang Anren reports Wang Yongzhong for secretly replacing paint, Jiang Nansun will apologize on his behalf.

Wang Yongzheng, however, asked Jiang Nansun to bring two bottles of wine to his single dormitory that night before he would consider forgiving her. What kind of tactic is it to have a female student bring two bottles of wine to a male teaching assistant's dormitory at night?

On another occasion, during the renovation of a boutique hotel, as soon as Jiang Nansun arrived at the site, Wang Yongzheng immediately angered the construction workers and drove them away. Jiang Nansun managed to persuade them to come back, but Wang Yongzheng angered them again and drove them away. Jiang Nansun was so angry that he wanted to leave as well. Wang Yongzheng then threatened him with Professor Dong, forcing Jiang Nansun to work overtime with him.

The boutique hotel was Professor Dong's project, and Jiang Nansun also planned to take the entrance exam for Professor Dong's doctoral program. Not daring to offend him, and with the workers gone, there was no one to do the work, so he could only stay up all night with Wang Yongzheng to work overtime.
