Half an hour later, Zhao Tienan arrived at a dilapidated shantytown.

He hadn't expected that after Xu Wenjing's mother divorced, her life wouldn't be too satisfactory either, or else she wouldn't be stuck in a place like this.

After winding through several twists and turns, Zhao Tienan finally managed to find the house where Xu Wenjing was hiding.

It was a very rundown shack; even the wooden door had decayed to the point of disintegration, and Zhao Tienan didn't dare push it too hard for fear of breaking it apart.

Not only that, but the house inside was propped up with large wooden beams, or else it might collapse at any time.

This wasn't just a shanty, it was practically a dangerous building.

But fortunately, the front of the house had a big word "demolition" sprayed on it.

Once this place was torn down, there would surely be a substantial compensation, enough to buy a decent house in the city.

In comparison, the house in Fengshan Village belonging to Zhao Tienan wouldn't stand a chance; it'll probably crumble before such a stroke of fortune hits.

"Zhao Tienan, you're finally here, come over quickly!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out not far away, immediately capturing Zhao Tienan's attention.

At this moment, Xu Wenjing was hiding behind the door of the warehouse, cautiously waving him over.

She looked incredibly haggard, likely having suffered quite a bit during her days on the run...

"Why are you at your mom's place?"

"This place doesn't seem well-off either, aren't you just adding to her troubles?"

Zhao Tienan walked over, frowning as he asked.

"Sigh, I had no choice, just after arriving in the city, someone tricked me out of all my money."

"If I weren't in such a desperate situation, I wouldn't have come here."

"My stepdad and his daughter particularly dislike me; they even cause my mom to get scolded all the time..."

Xu Wenjing bit her lip, her eyes moist as she spoke.

"You..."

Zhao Tienan opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

This girl, Xu Wenjing, is really a headache, getting her money swindled while on the run. She truly is exceptional.

"Alright, dry your tears."

"Since you're not welcome here, let's leave now. I just replenished the stock, and still have a bit left; if you spend it sparingly, it should be enough."

"I've already found some dirt on Zhu Liangjun, and it won't be long before he drops the lawsuit. You can go back to Fengshan Village too."

Zhao Tienan glanced around, speaking slowly.

"Really, that's wonderful!"

"Zhao Tienan, I knew you could help me."

"Give me the money, consider it a loan. I'll find a way to pay it back gradually in the future."

Xu Wenjing finally showed a hint of joy; it was the first time she'd smiled in days on the run.

"Alright, then!"

Zhao Tienan pulled out more than three thousand yuan from his pocket, keeping the change for himself and giving the rest to Xu Wenjing.

But to Zhao Tienan's utter surprise, Xu Wenjing took out two thousand yuan, intending to leave it for her mother.

"Why!"

"That money might not be enough for you, and you're thinking of giving it away? Don't forget, you're on the run, and you'll starve without money."

Zhao Tienan exclaimed with wide eyes.

"It's fine, I can go hungry for a few days."

"I don't want to owe my mom, much less my stepdad. I've stayed here for four days; giving them two thousand is enough."

Xu Wenjing said stubbornly, her attitude is something Zhao Tienan admired; he didn't stop her further.
