The Ordinary Man's Guide to Fast Travel

Chapter 170: Transformed into the Sister-in-Law Who Opposes the Heroine 14

That night, Wu Zhilian came and knocked on Chao's door again.

She was wearing dirty clothes and carrying a torn bag, and her hair was obviously tied up with her hands.

The one who opened the door was Chao Lingci, who frowned as soon as she saw Wu Zhilian.

When Wu Zhilian saw that the door was opened towards Lingci, she stood there in a daze for a moment, unable to recover.

In her current impression, Chao Lingci always looked sickly. The things she associated with him were coughing and a body that was of no use.

The sickly and haggard Chao Lingci had disappeared without a trace, and standing in front of Wu Zhilian was a brand new and imposing man.

His figure is tall and straight, like a towering tree, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

There was a sharpness and depth in his eyes, as if he could see into people's hearts.

Chao Lingci's attire was also quite different, with a well-tailored suit that showed off his broad shoulders and slender figure.

His tie had an exquisite texture and the watch on his wrist flashed a cold light, showing his taste and status.

His hair was carefully groomed, neat and tidy, and it was obvious that it was not something that an ordinary Tony teacher could trim.

Now Chao Lingci had just returned home and had not had time to change her clothes, which gave Wu Zhilian a strong visual impact.

Wu Zhilian stood there in a daze, she couldn't believe her eyes.

She once thought that Chao Lingci was just an ordinary, weak man, but now he stood in front of her, exuding a strong and confident aura that made her feel a little suffocated.

Chao Lingci looked at Wu Zhilian, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

He didn't say anything, but just stood quietly at the door, waiting for Wu Zhilian to speak.

He knew that Wu Zhilian definitely didn't come to him to reminisce about the past, and he was also very clear about what Wu Zhilian had done in the past.

Wu Zhilian took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

She knew that her current image was terrible, but she couldn't care less.

She raised her head, looked directly into Chao Lingci's eyes, and said, "Lingci, I came to you because I want to talk to you about the child."

He frowned slightly at Lingci. He did not expect Wu Zhilian to mention the child.

But he didn't show any surprise or dissatisfaction. He just said calmly: "We have already clearly written down the matter of the child in the divorce agreement. If you are dissatisfied with anything or need to change something, we can talk to a lawyer."

Wu Zhilian bit her lip, she knew that what Chao Lingci said was the truth.

But she was unwilling to give up just like that. She wanted to fight for more rights and time to accompany her children to grow up, so that she could have more opportunities to rely on the Chao family, and it would be best if she could renew her relationship with the man in front of her.

So she continued, "I know I did a lot of wrong things in the past, and I paid the price for it. But now I regret it, and I want to make up for my mistakes. I hope to have more time to visit my children, and I hope to be able to participate in their growth."

Chao Lingci was silent for a while and did not immediately respond to Wu Zhilian's request.

He looked at Wu Zhilian deeply, and then said, "Wu Zhilian, the past is the past, we can't change it. Besides, I don't want to change anything. You have never seen the child before, and now you suddenly appear at our door, still in this state, I am afraid it will scare her. Let's talk about the child later. The law stipulates that you have visitation rights, and I will abide by this."

When Wu Zhilian heard Chao Lingci's words, a warm feeling surged in her heart.

She knew that Chao Lingci was not a cold-hearted person, and he also cared about his children's growth and future.

To her, the words just now seemed to mean that he had not yet been completely heartless, as if there was still hope.

She said that as long as the children are around, it is an excuse that can be found at any time.

"If there's nothing else, please leave immediately. Our whole family needs to rest."

After saying this, Chao Lingci was about to close the door.

"and many more!"

Wu Zhilian quickly pushed the door and wanted to come in.

But the door was held tightly by Chao Lingci and she couldn't push it open at all.

"I...I have no place to live. Can I come and sleep with my daughter for one night?"

"Son, who's here? Why have you been standing at the door for so long? Why don't you come in?"

Xu Chuyi's voice was heard, and at the same time, Chao Xiyue called out "Dad" sweetly.

Just as Chao Lingci was thinking about what to say, Chao Xiyue ran out.

"Dad, who is she?"

When everyone was off guard, Wu Zhilian picked up Chao Xiyue and ran away.

But she could never run faster than Chao Lingci. She only took a few steps before she was caught.

But Wu Zhilian held Chao Xiyue tightly and refused to let go, and Chao Lingci was afraid of hurting Chao Xiyue, so she didn't dare to snatch her away.

Chao Xiyue was so scared that she burst into tears, but she was too small and couldn't move at all.

"What are you going to do?"

"Give me money, I want 10 million. If you don't give me, I will strangle her to death!"

Chao Lingci didn't know whether he was angry or for some other reason, his eyes were red and he looked like he wanted to eat someone.

"She is your daughter, your biological daughter!"

"She's just a money-loser like me when she grows up. She won't even have a home after the divorce. What's the point of keeping her in this world? Give her money or not!"

Xu Chuyi heard the quarrel and Chao Xiyue's crying, and ran out. When she heard Wu Zhilian's words, she became a little incoherent.

"Give it to Lingci, Lingci, give it to her! Give her as much as she wants! My dear granddaughter! Please let my dear granddaughter go!"

Chao Xiyue's neck had been strangled and her crying became weaker and weaker.

"I'll give it to you! I'll give it to you right away, just let her go!"

Chao Lingci took out her cell phone in a panic, not even realizing how many zeros she had entered into the mobile banking account.

"What's your bank card number? I'll transfer it now!"

This was Wu Zhilian's first time extorting money, so she had no experience.

Seeing that Chao Lingci was actually entering the mobile banking transfer number, he focused his attention on reporting the bank card number.

Who would really memorize their bank card number these days?

So Wu Zhilian had to use one hand to unlock his phone and check his bank card number, while with the other hand he relaxed his hold on Chao Xiyue.

At this moment, Chao Lingci snatched Chao Xiyue away and handed her to Xu Chuyi.

"What are you doing? Why do you want to snatch her away?"

No matter how stupid Wu Zhilian was, he knew at this time that he could not hand over the hostage to them. Once he handed it over, he would get nothing.

She rushed into the house like crazy, but was stopped by Chao Lingci again.

"I can't possibly give you money. What you did today really made me want to kill you, but I can't do that. I still have a daughter, and you are her biological mother! This is a lifelong humiliation for Yueyue in our family! Get out, get out!"

Chao Lingci was struggling. He also wanted to get rid of Wu Zhilian, but her identity made it impossible for him to do anything.

Chao Yao also heard the quarrel and she came to Chao Lingci's house.

"Brother, what is she doing here?"

Chao Lingci knew that her sister was cruel and could do anything.

"Nothing...nothing. She missed Yueyue."

Chao Yao did not doubt Chao Lingci, but he was also angry. Wu Zhilian did not seem to be nice to Yueyue. They had obviously had an argument just now, and maybe he did not coax Yueyue well.

How could she have imagined that at this time, Wu Zhilian would do such a thing in front of the whole family.

Chao Yao pulled Wu Zhilian up and left.

"How dare you come to my brother's house? Even the ancient city walls are not as thick as you!"

Chao Yao was really a little angry. If Wu Zhilian really came because she felt sorry for her daughter, then she, as her aunt, would not say anything.

But it is obvious that this person is not her, she has other intentions!

Chao Yao grabbed Wu Zhilian's wrist tightly with such force that Wu Zhilian almost cried out in pain.

She forcefully dragged Wu Zhilian out, her tone full of disgust and impatience: "Get out! My brother's family doesn't welcome a shameless woman like you!"

Wu Zhilian struggled, trying to break free from Chao Yao's restraints, but her strength was obviously not as great as Chao Yao's.

She could only let Chao Yao push her out of the villa door and then throw her heavily to the ground.

"What are you doing!?" Wu Zhilian screamed in pain. She looked up at Chao Yao, her eyes filled with anger and unwillingness.

Chao Yao looked down at her coldly, with a mocking smile on his face: "Who do you think you are? You still want to enter my brother's house? I tell you, as long as I'm here, don't even think about setting foot here!"

Wu Zhilian was so angry that she was shaking all over. She struggled to stand up and stared at Chao Yao fiercely: "Why do you treat me like this? I'm your niece's mother!"

Chao Yao sneered disdainfully: "Mom? Are you worthy? Are you worthy of being a mother? Look at yourself now. You can't even take care of yourself. How can you expect to take care of a child? Don't dream!"

Wu Zhilian quickly looked down at her tattered clothes and messy hair, and a feeling of self-mockery surged in her heart.

Yes, she is no longer the Wu Zhilian who was pampered by the Chao family, but a down-and-out woman who is looked down upon by others.

The entire Chao family hated her very much, and no matter how soft her attitude was now, she couldn't change this quickly.

What can we do?

She didn't have time to think any further. She glanced coldly at Wu Zhilian, then returned to her villa, took out a mobile phone and dialed a number.

"Hey, it's me."

Her tone was cold but firm, "Yes, she came again. Well, yes, I chased her away. But I don't think that's enough."

Chao Yao hung up the phone, turned to look at Wu Zhilian and smiled sarcastically.
