Chapter 137: 130, Ex-Wife Begs to Reconcile! Yang Hao: Scram!! (Requesting monthly votes)
(Note: The skill "Shadowless Finger" is a nearly lost magical (pickpocketing) technique; the host is advised to use it for rightful purposes.)
Just as Yang Hao doubted the propriety of "Shadowless Finger," he saw the explanation below.
Uh, so it's a kind of magic trick!
However, Wang Xueru's task for this young woman was enough to leave Yang Hao speechless.
Either a range hood or protein!
Is that all she thinks about all day long?!!
Indeed, the age of thirty is like a wolf ...
But the tasks for NPC number 1 and NPC number 2 were pretty simple.
They were the kind that could be completed without any effort.
Next, let's see what my Yibao's task is ...
Task content: [Filial Daughter-in-Law]
(NPC number 3 longs to meet the host's parents)
NPC number 3: I wonder if Yang's parents will like me; if there's a chance to see them, I must perform well!
It's a shame I don't have much money, otherwise, I'd definitely give Yang's parents a generous gift too!
Task reward: Dedicated filial piety fund of 100,000,000 yuan!
As expected!!
That's my Yibao!!
Wang Xueru, Meng Chacha, can you two learn something from her for fuck's sake!
Look at Yibao's awareness!!
After finishing reading Sun Xinyi's task, Yang Hao was a bit excited.
In fact, while in Jingmen, Yang Hao had thought of his own parents.
The saying goes, "To be wealthy and honored and not return home is to glide unseen in the night."
It was just that the funds in Yang Hao's account were limited, and he had planned to return once he had accumulated enough wealth.
And now such a task had come up with Yibao!
With just this task, Yibao could be crowned queen!!
Of course, for the moment, the NPC team had only three members, so the competition for the "queen" position wasn't very fierce.
Chacha wants to open a dance training center and could be titled "Dance Queen"!
Xueru runs a coffee shop and could be titled "Coffee Queen"!
Wait a minute...
Damn, this "Coffee Queen" seems like something I saw in a comedy sketch; it's somewhat eye-watering!!
Yang Hao first dropped Meng Yuyu off at Bolli Fitness Center.
Her car was still parked there, and since Manager Meng had just taken the position, with little bitch's temperament, she'd definitely want to show off a bit.
"Yuyu, you're back!"
"No, I mean, Manager Meng!!"
Yu Lili greeted cheerfully.

"Manager Meng, when will you give us a raise..." Zhou Ling teased from the side.
"Well, that'll depend on your performance~!"
Meng Yuyu smiled and then grandly waved her hand: "I'll send a message in the group later; there's a party tonight, my treat!"
"Okay~!"
"Manager Meng is so generous!!"
Zhou Ling responded with glee, then went to send the message in Bolli Fitness Center's work group.
Whereas Yu Lili felt a mix of emotions. Just a month ago, she and Meng Yuyu had been in similar straits!
Now her plastic bestie had soared in place...
She owned a 660 square meter storefront and became the manager of such a big fitness center and, from Yang's attitude, it seemed he had no intention of managing the fitness center himself, it was totally handed over to Meng Yuyu, his mistress, to play with!!
So extravagant!
Inhumanly extravagant!!
Too bad Yang doesn't like my style!!
By this time, Zhou Ling had already sent the message about Meng Yuyu's treat tonight in the work group.
And the group instantly turned into a large-scale butt-kissing scene.
"Manager Meng is so generous!"
"Manager Meng is mighty!"
"Long live Manager Meng..."
Meng Chacha scanned the messages in the group, her face beaming with a bright smile, completely lost in the repeated calls of "Manager Meng."
Outside Belle Kindergarten.
Yang Hao parked his car by the roadside.
He had arrived a little early today, and only a few parents were around.
With about fifteen minutes left until Xixi's school was out, Yang Hao moved the driver's seat back to lie down in the car for a while.
But just then, someone knocked on the driver's side window, and Yang Hao looked instinctively outside to see a familiar face.
However, seeing this face made Yang Hao frown.
Because the person was none other than his ex-wife, Li Manshu!
Yang Hao hesitated briefly but still rolled down the window: "What's up?"
"I missed Xixi and came to see her."
Li Manshu spoke softly, entirely lacking that condescending tone she had outside the civil affairs bureau before.
Furthermore, she was dressed to the nines; her long hair slightly curled, makeup exquisite, wearing a pale yellow Chanel-style suit dress that made her look younger.
If she didn't say she had a child, no one could tell.
"Can I come in to talk?"
Li Manshu pointed to the passenger seat.
"There's no need for that. Whatever needed to be discussed, was already finished."
Yang Hao replied flatly.
Li Manshu seemed to have anticipated this response and didn't react much since her request was a feeler to begin with.
If Yang Hao was willing to let her into the car, it would mean he still harbored some old feelings.
From his reaction, however, it seemed she no longer had any affective value to him.
"Hao..."
Li Manshu suddenly called him by the name they used when they first met.
Fuck!!
Yang Hao felt a chill run down his spine from being called "Hao" in that tone.
He waved his hands in denial, "Let's talk business. Please, don't call me that!!"
Seeing this, Li Manshu eyed Yang Hao with a look of deep resentment and then let out a soft sigh before she said, "During the time we've been apart, I've often thought back to when we first met..."
"We were so busy every day in the hotpot restaurant, and looking back now, that feeling of striving for our dreams together was truly blissful..."
"Stop right there!!"
Yang Hao immediately interrupted Li Manshu's emotional appeal.
Struggling together my ass. He already had three hotpot restaurants when he met Li Manshu, so his business was quite successful!!
What do you think you're doing, just picking peaches easily, huh??
"Let's not talk about the past!"
Yang Hao gestured with his hands and said, "As per the divorce agreement, you're allowed to visit Xixi once a month."
"I always keep my promises and won't deprive you of the right to visit Xixi, but whether Xixi wants to be with you is up to her!"
"Besides Xixi, we really have nothing else to talk about!"
Yang Hao's tone was icy cold; he truly had no fondness left for his ex-wife.
Li Manshu looked at the man in the car—a mix of the familiar and the stranger—her mouth twitching several times before she clenched her fists tight, thinking to herself:
He's a billionaire!
He's a billionaire!!
He's a billionaire!!!
After calming herself, Li Manshu said with regret, "I know I was wrong before, blinded by greed, which led me to make such a foolish decision!"
"If this has hurt you, I want to apologize to you now..."
As she spoke, Li Manshu took a step back and then actually bowed deeply to Yang Hao, who was sitting in the car.
And to show her sincerity, the bow was damn near ninety degrees.
Yang Hao caught a glimpse of his ex-wife, who just a month ago had been so arrogant in front of him, and for a moment he felt somewhat dazed.
There was even a bit of vindictive pleasure in his heart.
He was just an ordinary man and far from reaching any lofty state of detachment.
The ex-wife who once looked down on him was now humbly apologizing to him, which did feel awesome!
And the more he thought about it, the more satisfying it got!!
So you regret it now, huh??
You want to reconcile now, huh??
I've got one word for you: Scram!!!
Scram as far as you can!!
My place isn't a damn recycling center!
After apologizing, Li Manshu straightened up and then spoke again, "I don't expect you to forgive me right now."
"But I hope you can give me a chance to start over."
"Xixi is still young and needs a whole family. No matter how unforgivable my actions were, I'm still Xixi's mother!"
"That's something no other woman can replace..."
"Stop right there!!"
Yang Hao coldly interrupted Li Manshu again, "What on earth do you want?"
"Let's remarry!" Li Manshu said loudly.
"Remarry???"
Yang Hao was almost driven to laughter, "I've just barely escaped the pit of fire, and now you want me to jump back in???"
"Is it your brain that has a problem, or is mine?"
"You think I'm some kind of fool, huh!!"
"If you want to see Xixi, you can see her for a bit, then go do whatever you should be doing!"
"Don't even think about remarriage!!"
Yang Hao was utterly exasperated by Li Manshu. He just wanted to smash that emoticon right in her face!!
When I was broke, you ran faster than anyone!
Now that I'm prosperous, you come back begging for a reunion!
Can't you have some shame, it's expensive!!
"I just want a chance to start over..."
Li Manshu made a pitiful face, "And I've already apologized so sincerely!"
Yang Hao laughed and tossed an iconic line from an ancient idol drama at her, "If apologies worked, what would we need the police for!"
After that, Yang Hao rolled up the car window, not wanting to waste another word on his ex-wife, who could withstand a full-strength blow with her thick skin.
If she went to a world of cultivators, that thick skin would definitely be a top-grade defensive magic item.
"Hao..."
"Listen to me..."
Li Manshu knocked on the car window again.
But this "Hao" almost made Yang Hao vomit. He quickly found his Bluetooth earphones, connected them to his phone, and started playing music.
Finally, the world was peaceful!
And fittingly, the song playing on the phone was themed perfectly: A breakup should be dignified, no one should say sorry...
Seeing that Yang Hao refused to communicate,
Li Manshu clenched her fists once more. She'd come prepared, building up her mental defenses.
She knew that Yang Hao must hate her, so she'd kept her stance very low, primarily to let Yang Hao vent.
In Li Manshu's view, once he had vented enough, there was a chance he would become more communicative.
But as things were, Yang Hao was truly giving her no opportunity at all!
Deep down, the ex-wife was fuming; she had never been so humbled before.
But on the surface, she couldn't let any of it show, because to do so would make it seem like her apology wasn't sincere enough.
Endure!
She had to endure!!
If she could earn his forgiveness, she would be able to live in a mansion, drive luxury cars, and enjoy a life of luxury!!
Compared to the prosperous life ahead, what were these humiliations worth?
If Han Xin could endure the humiliation of crawling between someone's legs, what couldn't she do?
Li Manshu took a deep breath, silently comforting herself, as she calmed the explosive emotions stirring within...
