Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 1039

Chapter 1039: Separation ( 1 )
As the girl’s hand came toward her, Liu Fuyan grabbed her wrist and pulled her down. The sudden movement caused the girl to fall, letting go of her hair.

When the girl tried to break her fall with her hands, Liu Fuyan tugged at her wrist, causing her to land on her shoulder. The move was swift which happened in mere seconds.

The moment the girl hit the ground, a loud crack echoed in the classroom, followed by her scream, “Ahh!”

The students were stunned as they saw what was happening before their eyes. They didn’t expect that the thin and weak Liu Fuyan could be so ferocious. Just one move from her could make the girl unable to stand up!

When they came to their senses, they saw the girl writhing on the floor while clutching her shoulder. Those closest to them noticed her shoulder was dislocated, and just looking at her condition sent a chill down their spines.

“It hurts!” the girl cried, her face wet with tears and snot.

Meanwhile, Liu Fuyan calmly picked up her belongings, ignoring the girl’s cry for help. After putting everything back in her bag, she walked over to the girl and looked down at her.

Whether intentional or not, as she stepped closer, she put her foot on the girl’s hand. Pressing her foot heavily on the girl’s fingers, Liu Fuyan asked calmly, “Classmate, do you know that fighting in school can get you expelled?”

The girl’s face paled as she looked at Liu Fuyan and asked, “Liu Fuyan, what do you want to do?”

Grinding her foot on the girl’s hand, Liu Fuyan replied with a smile, “I didn’t want to do anything. After all, I’m just reminding you.”

“Instead of focusing on boys all day, maybe you should focus on your studies. Today, I will let this go, but if you try to mess with me again, it won’t end as easily as today,” she added.

After a pause, she turned to her classmates and said, “Even if you got the same treatment as I do, you could never beat me. Do you know why?”

When they shook their heads, she continued calmly, “Because we differ in talent, effort, and mindset.”

“While I study, you all play. When I’m learning to improve myself, you are gossiping about others. While I understand that studying is the only way out of poverty, you are busy thinking about taking advantage of others and finding a good candidate for marriage.”

“As time goes by, I keep moving forward while you stay in the same place—or even fall behind. That is why you will never beat me. In the future, you won’t even be able to see my shadow. So, what right do you have to be jealous of me?”

Turning back to the girl, she warned, “Next time I see you, I will beat you. So, when you see me, take a detour.”

The girl, in too much pain to respond, could only glare as Liu Fuyan left the classroom.

Outside the room, Liu Fuyan saw Chen Jianmin leaning against the wall with a smile. She looked at him but said nothing.

Seeing her walk away, Chen Jianmin quickly followed while asking, “Liu Fuyan, need me to teach them a lesson?”

“Thanks, but no need,” Liu Fuyan replied without hesitation.

Walking beside her, Chen Jianmin persisted, “Are you sure? If you need help, just let me know. Before Ah Li left for the capital, he asked me to take care of you.”

Hearing this, Liu Fuyan paused briefly before continuing to walk and said, “Senior Chen, I will let you know if I need help.”

Chen Jianmin clicked his tongue when he noticed her different attitude towards him and Dong Li. It seemed she only cared about Dong Li’s words.

As they reached the school entrance, he said, “After lunch, we are planning to forage for mushrooms at the mountain foothills. Do you want to join us with your brother?”

Thinking about her home situation, Liu Fuyan hesitated before nodding, “Okay.”

“Then, come to Li Jingqian’s house after lunch,” Chen Jianmin added.

After their conversation, they each headed home. When Liu Fuyan arrived at her home, she heard her mother shouting at her father again. Her voice sounded harsh even from this distance. It’s surprising that her father was able to put up with her for so long.

Standing on the gate, she let out a long sigh while thinking it would be better if her parents separated. At least by then, she and her brother wouldn’t have to endure her mother’s daily cursing.

Walking into the yard, she saw her brother squatting under a tree, watching ants. She approached him, squatted beside him, and asked, “Xiao Ran, what are you doing?”

Hearing her voice, Liu Qingran looked up and asked, “Sister, I’m watching the ants. Sister, do these ants also have a father and mother?”

Liu Fuyan thought for a moment and said, “They probably have a father and a mother.”

Liu Qingran nodded and continued observing the ants. After a while, he asked, “Sister, will Mother leave us?”

“Why do you think that?” Liu Fuyan asked with surprise.

“I heard Mother say that if Father divorces her, she will marry someone else. Shitou told me that if our mother marries another man, she will no longer love us and will leave us,” Liu Qingran said quietly.

Sighing at her brother’s words, Liu Fuyan replied, “Xiao Ran, no matter what happens, remember it’s not your fault. If one day Mother leaves and has another child with someone else, you still have me and Grandma. Father loves us and will never leave us.”

Liu Qingran went silent for a moment before he said, “But, Sister, what if Father marries someone else? I don’t want a stepmother.”

“Xiao Ran, not all stepmothers are bad. Look at Aunt Jueyu. Even though Brother Dong Li and Xiao Huang aren’t her biological children, she loves them.”

“She treats them well. So if we ever have a stepmother, she might be like Aunt Jueyu. Don’t you think so?” Liu Fuyan asked with a gentle smile.
