Chapter 942: Chapter 940: A Mom Who Dreams of Striking It Rich Every Day

Wei Lilan felt somewhat fortunate again. Thankfully, she taught students over there by just talking and didn’t do anything else, otherwise she wouldn’t have been released after just a brief detention.

Actually, last time she almost considered taking action.

When she saw Xie Musheng and knew he was on good terms with An Chen, and learned he loved playing games and even wanted to go pro, she had the thought that if Xie Musheng’s hands were ruined, she’d like to see how he’d keep playing games.

When she thought about it, her blood even boiled a little.

This is the age for studying hard, playing games is a bad habit that must be corrected.

"They are so unprofessional and have no future. Chenchen, you must not follow them, okay?" Wei Lilan advised, "You must not let them influence you. If you don’t study well now and focus seriously and instead do things that affect your learning, you’ll regret it later."

"Got it, Mom." Pei Chen lowered his head, a hint of sarcasm flashing in his eyes.

It was later that he found out that his mom got into some trouble that was even related to Jian Mo and An Chen.

He figured it was because they felt Jian Mo and An Chen were tough to deal with and didn’t dare provoke them, especially after seeing his grades.

It was the weekend, and he went home.

Ah Chen saw familiar villagers, but it was obvious that none of them had their usual smiles.

Currently, Ah Chen was working as a game coach, but only those who paid attention knew. If she didn’t promote it herself, the people in the village wouldn’t know much about it.

Plus, it was a game competition, and there weren’t many shots of the coach involved. Even if one watched the game without deliberately looking, they might not notice.

The villagers knew that Xu Yue had been caught, and they go to the police station every day, concerned about whether they could get back the money they had invested. Now, they didn’t even hope for profit, just getting back the principal would be a blessing.

All their attention was fixated on their money, and they didn’t pay attention to whether anyone from the village had returned.

However, the Liang Family knew that An Shuo Hai was back, and they came over.

The ones who came were the two elders of the Liang Family, with regret on their faces and a bit of awkwardness when facing An Shuo Hai. Now that trouble had occurred, they suddenly remembered that An Shuo Hai had advised them not to take too many risks, but they didn’t listen.

Not only that, but they also looked down on An Shuo Hai.

After all, at that time, they unanimously believed Xu Yue was the best son-in-law. Especially after Xu Yue made them money, they even felt that Liang Xuefang’s divorce was the right choice.

"What is this all about? Who would have thought Xu Yue would be a fraud? We knew his family, and his parents are in the village. Who would have thought he’d dare to deceive people?" Mrs. Liang said with a bitter expression. If not for this, perhaps not as many people would have believed Xu Yue and sold their houses and took loans to follow his investments.

An Shuo Hai did not respond, waiting for the Liang couple to speak.

"Shuo Hai, now that Xu Yue has been caught, do you think we can get all our invested money back? Xuefang and Xu Yue had that kind of relationship and used to live together, and now she’s often called in for questioning. Will she end up in jail?" Mr. Liang asked hopefully.

Their own money was also scammed, and whether they could get it back they didn’t know. Naturally, they harbored resentment toward Liang Xuefang, but she was still their daughter, and while they hated her, they couldn’t help but worry she might end up in jail.

An Shuo Hai said: "I’m not quite sure about that; it’s best to ask a lawyer. But Liang Xuefang likely wasn’t aware of Xu Yue’s actions. She didn’t run off with him afterward, clearly showing she wasn’t with him. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have invested so much money. I heard she even borrowed money and took out loans, and many who knew her invested as well. Though Xu Yue has been caught, whether the money is still there is uncertain. Instead of worrying about jail, it’s better to worry about the worst-case scenario, where the money can’t be fully recovered. What will be done about those who invested alongside her and the debts she owes?"

An Shuo Hai didn’t plan to intervene much in this matter. Back then, considering their many years of relationship, he had advised her, but Liang Xuefang didn’t listen and even looked down on him.

With the dream as well, he didn’t want to interfere.

If it weren’t for the dream, and he wasn’t becoming more convinced of its reality, plus seeing Liang Xuefang’s behavior since the divorce, he might not have stood by idly, he’d at least try to help her think of a solution instead of just watching.

The Liang Family elders clearly also sensed that An Shuo Hai didn’t want to get involved. Their faces turned pale, wanting to say something but eventually failing to voice it.

To speak the truth, An Shuo Hai was incredibly good to their daughter.

Before the divorce, Xuefang and Xu Yue had some shady dealings; if it were another man, he might not have divided half of the assets.

But Xu Yue was too cunning; it wasn’t just Xuefang who got fooled, even they were conned.

"Then let’s wait and see; maybe all the money will be recovered." Mr. Liang originally wanted to say something, but Mrs. Liang stopped him. She shook her head. So many people had gotten swept into this, some lost everything, and thankfully the two of them had already divorced, or the whole family would be ruined.

She couldn’t just think about her daughter; she also had two grandchildren.

If An Shuo Hai got caught up in this mess because of them, wouldn’t that be terrible?

"I have a lawyer’s card here, with a decent reputation. If you’re still uneasy, you can seek advice from this law firm." An Shuo Hai offered.

He had met quite a few people through his work outside.

But this lawyer’s card was one he specifically requested back when he was helping that law firm with renovation, as he had anticipated something like today might happen.

The Liang Family elders didn’t refuse, taking the card and leaving.

"I don’t plan to interfere in this matter or contribute any money. Do you think Dad is too heartless?" The words were directed at the two children, but An Shuo Hai was mainly asking An Miao.

He was absolutely sure that his daughter had long known about the dream.

She was a victim within the dreamscape and might only harbor resentment toward Liang Xuefang as a mother. Not having her personality twisted was already a blessing.

An Miao blinked in surprise, seeing An Shuo Hai staring at her.

Upon hearing about Xu Yue’s trouble, his first thought was whether Liang Xuefang would be implicated since she was his biological mother.

"Everyone needs to be responsible for their actions." Before An Miao could think more, Ah Chen chimed in, his tone indifferent, "If someone’s always there to clean up for every mistake, there won’t be any lessons learned. You can repay a debt slowly."

Liang Xuefang’s situation might not necessarily result in jail time, but those who invested because of her might really hate her, and her money was swindled away by Xu Yue, which isn’t ideal.

Seeing An Miao still silent, An Shuo Hai knew that for his kind-hearted son, letting go of Liang Xuefang wasn’t easy.

To avoid future issues, he decided to be upfront.

Liang Xuefang made a mistake; he didn’t intend to bail her out.

If one day she ends up on the street unable to afford food, he wouldn’t stop An Miao from helping a bit, but that’s the extent of it.

Closing the door properly, An Shuo Hai recounted the dream from that day.

An Miao, who was initially silent, widened his eyes in disbelief at what he heard, but recalling Liang Xuefang’s actions, fell silent once more.
