Chapter 17: 017 The Step-Mother Vainly Acts Like a Villain, Miss Tang Is a Ruthless Person Chapter 17: 017 The Step-Mother Vainly Acts Like a Villain, Miss Tang Is a Ruthless Person Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation On the way back to the old residence, while taking a detour to buy pastries for the old man, Tang Wan received a phone call.

It was Zhang Liyun who called, “Aunt Liyun, what’s the matter?”

“It’s still about Momo’s classmate yesterday.”

“What about her? Didn’t the police handle it already?” Tang Wan’s tone was calm.

“You see, she’s been at the station for a day. The young girl has learned her lesson. She’s just a student and young, just scare her a bit.”

The intermittent voice came through, and the carriage was silent. Although Jiang Jinsang couldn’t hear everything, he guessed a few things.

“Wanwan, are you free now? Her parents have come to the house and want to meet you.”

The girl’s family sought connections, but since she was caught red-handed with no options, they had no way to reach Tang Wan and could only try their luck here.

“They seem quite sincere, you…” Zhang Liyun wanted to be a peacemaker.

“If they’re here to apologize to me, I’ve received it. Aunt Liyun, sorry, I’m busy, so I won’t be going.” Tang Wan said and hung up the phone.

Zhang Liyun looked at the couple sitting in the living room, with a helpless expression.

“Sorry, I can’t help you. You know our relationship. I’m not close with her. She is a bit stubborn, sometimes she won’t even listen to her dad, let alone me.”

“It was a small matter, but it had to get this big. I… Her family spoils her, so I can’t really say anything.”

“Really, I’m sorry, I can’t help you.”

The couple quickly waved their hands, “No problem, don’t worry about it.”

Their daughter was caught stealing, which was already embarrassing enough. Zhang Liyun, as a distinguished lady, treated them so warmly without any pretense, and they were grateful.

“I’ll find someone to pull some strings, your daughter won’t suffer inside,” Zhang Liyun continued.

“Thank you so much.”

They were not locals and didn’t have much influence to find connections. Since Zhang Liyun spoke up, the couple was naturally grateful.

“You could say Wanwan went too far. Actually, it’s better to be forgiving. She’s just too headstrong and can’t help it.” Zhang Liyun smiled innocently.
