After Divorce: Why My Aloof Ex Starts Chasing Me?-Chapter 92 Compensation

Girlfriend.

The three people across from him froze for a moment. None of them had anticipated that Shi Yu was already seeing someone.

The first to react was Li Jianguo.

He loudly questioned Shi Yu, "How could you find someone on your own? So indecent! No wonder you live alone outside. Are you even still a proper young lady?"

Before he could ask more questions, a sharp pain shot through Li Jianguo’s stomach; he’d already been kicked several meters away.

"Spouting so much crap—did you fill your mouth with shit?"

Chen Shaojie, knowing Shi Yu’s unique situation, hadn’t expected the people around her to be so revolting.

No wonder she wanted to leave Beijing.

No matter how good the conditions here were, constantly being harassed by flies was truly annoying!

Li Jianguo was stunned from the fall, feeling pain all over his body.

After collecting himself and realizing how much he’d embarrassed himself, he forced himself to climb up.

Clenching his fists, he charged at Chen Shaojie, ready to fight.

But, in the end, all it took was a light trip to send him sprawling face-first onto the ground.

Seeing his sorry state, Shi Yu couldn’t hold back her laughter. At this moment, she felt a surge of security.

Her boyfriend really was amazing!

Grabbing Chen Shaojie’s wrist, she said, "Let’s go," and they ran off.

Shi Yu knew all too well how difficult these people could be.

She wasn’t afraid of trouble, but she didn’t want to drag Chen Shaojie into her problems.

The best solution right now was to get far away, so they wouldn’t be able to find her.

Anyway, she had money; staying at a guesthouse for a few days was no issue.

As for how to placate Li Jianguo? That wasn’t her concern.

Whoever stirred up trouble could solve it themselves!

Chen Shaojie was a little dazed, his focus entirely on Shi Yu’s hand pulling his.

His mind went blank, and aside from matching her pace, he didn’t know what else to do.

The two of them quickly disappeared from sight, leaving Father Shi and Shi Mu utterly stunned.

"Those two just ran off? What the hell?"

Father Shi rubbed his hands and snapped irritably, "You’re asking me? Who am I supposed to ask!?"

If she hadn’t started criticizing Shi Yu as soon as they’d arrived, would the girl have bolted so quickly?

Pointing at Li Jianguo, who was still sprawled on the ground, Father Shi barked, "Hurry up and get him up! People are passing by and staring; don’t make us a laughingstock!"

Out in public, Father Shi still cared about his reputation.

That’s why he’d usually hide behind his wife and let her take charge when badgering Shi Yu for money.

Shi Mu glared at him, "Look at your daughter! We’re already at her doorstep, and she doesn’t even invite us inside. Such bad manners!"

"And what kind of boyfriend did she find? Someone who starts throwing punches at the slightest disagreement? Surely he’s just a delinquent."

Father Shi also wanted to know where that man had come from.

From his accent, he didn’t seem like a Beijing native.

Hopefully, he wasn’t aiming to sponge off Shi Yu, seeing how good she was at earning money!

The more Father Shi thought about it, the worse he felt.

His daughter’s money belonged to him.

Anyone who tried to scam her would be fighting him directly, and he absolutely wouldn’t let them win!

Agitated, he started pacing in circles, but remembering he still held Shi Yu’s household registration booklet eased his nerves a little.

He glanced at Li Jianguo lying on the ground—so easily beaten down, completely useless.

If Shi Yu really married him, could he control that stubborn girl?

Li Jianguo, mortified and wanting to save face, wanted revenge—but the guy who hit him was already gone.

The only option left was to demand compensation from the Shi parents.

"You should’ve told me earlier that Shi Yu had a boyfriend! Now I’ve taken a beating because of you. You must compensate me, or this isn’t over!"

Shi Mu gave an awkward laugh, "We introduced her to you out of good intentions. You’re already twenty-five or twenty-six and still unmarried. The matchmaker said your family was desperate, so we thought to pair you with Shi Yu."

"What happened just now wasn’t our doing; you can’t randomly extort money from us."

Li Jianguo, furious, spat, "Good intentions? Setting me up with a worn-out girl who’s already dated someone—that’s what you call good intentions?"

Normally, if someone cursed Shi Yu like this, Shi Mu would be delighted.

But right now, under Li Jianguo’s menacing glare, she just felt her scalp tingle.

"Wrongdoers should face their victims directly. Whoever hit you—go demand justice from them!"

Li Jianguo’s face darkened even further.

He knew full well he was no match for the guy who’d beat him up.

If he really went after him, he’d probably end up getting smacked around again.

Although he was seething, he knew exactly whom to corner to vent his anger.

"Pay me ten yuan in compensation. If you don’t, this isn’t over. I’ll go home and tell my mom—you better think about your family’s reputation!"

The Shi Family had no reputation left to speak of, so such threats didn’t faze Father Shi and Shi Mu.

"Being set up for a blind date is supposed to be a happy event, but now you’re extorting people. No wonder no one wants to date you after so many attempts."

Other people were reluctant to go on blind dates with Li Jianguo; Shi Mu had heard all the bad things about him and had thus decided to shove Shi Yu in his face.

Even if Shi Yu didn’t want this, Shi Mu had plenty of ways to force them together.

But she hadn’t expected Li Jianguo to be so petty and directly turn against them.

"You can either pay up or I’ll go to the community office and spread the word: you brought alcohol to try to get Shi Yu drunk, ruining both of our reputations!"

Father Shi quickly hid the liquor bottle behind his back.

Fuming, he retorted, "We only said we’d celebrate with a belated New Year’s meal and have a few drinks—what’s wrong with that? You think you’re such a prized catch that you’re worth all this effort to marry off my daughter?"

"If your brother hadn’t suddenly died, would the job opportunity have fallen on your lap? I’m warning you, stop acting like a shameless thug; you might lose even that position if you’re not careful!"

Unlike Shi Mu’s intentions, Father Shi’s plan was to get Shi Yu drunk and then loot whatever valuables he could find in her house.

If he could get his hands on her savings booklet, even better!

Having the blind date as a pretext, Father Shi had thought Shi Yu wouldn’t refuse to host them under the pressure of outsiders watching.

But he hadn’t expected that brat to be so unrestrained, cursing them out and running off with her wild boyfriend.

They’d raised her for years, yet they couldn’t squeeze a single advantage out of her.

What a waste of effort!

Li Jianguo couldn’t beat Chen Shaojie but handling Father Shi was a different story.

He flexed his wrists with a sharp cracking sound.

"Say that again—what did you just say?"

Father Shi felt uneasy and tried to slip away, but Li Jianguo grabbed his collar.

Having been humiliated so many times in just a few minutes, Li Jianguo’s fury was boiling over.

If it weren’t for needing compensation, he’d have already taught them a lesson.

"Are you gonna pay up or not?"

"C-Can’t we just discuss this calmly?"

"I’m counting to three."

Shi Mu wanted to calm the situation but was immediately threatened by Li Jianguo: "I heard you brought your nephew from your maiden family home once—what were you scheming? You know the truth yourself. Want me to report you for that?"

Shi Mu felt her head throb with anger.

She’d decided to introduce Shi Yu to the Li Family precisely because she’d heard they were unscrupulous troublemakers.

If she successfully married Shi Yu into their family, the girl’s life would be ruined forever.

But now, not only had her plot failed, they were being extorted instead. Judging by Li Jianguo’s sheer persistence, he wouldn’t give up until he’d achieved his goal.

With both her son and daughter holding stable jobs, Shi Mu was terrified that his false accusations might affect their futures.

Grudgingly, she tossed him a ten-yuan banknote.

"I really misjudged you!"
