Lucky Golden Dragon in the 80s: My Dad? I Switched Him for a Better One novel Chapter 208

Chapter 208: Chapter 208: What Goes Around, Comes Around

School hadn’t let out for the day yet. As soon as Shanshan walked out of her classroom, she spotted a shady figure lurking by the school gate.

"Ling Xueshan, please, save me! I can’t take it anymore!"

"Hey, what are you doing?! Get up and talk. The ground is cold!"

Shanshan was startled and quickly reached out to pull her up.

Students immediately stopped to watch, and a few even took out their phones to record.

She quickly grabbed Cao Jiajia’s arm and pulled her up. "Don’t put on a show out here. Come inside with me first."

The hallway was crowded with prying eyes, and Cao Jiajia’s sudden kneeling drew a lot of stares.

Shanshan had no choice but to drag her into an empty stairwell.

Seeing her about to kneel again, Shanshan stopped her flat-out. "Just say what you have to say. Cut the phony act. I’m not buying it."

She hated it when people played the victim to get sympathy, especially two-faced ones.

"Fine, fine, I’ll talk!"

Cao Jiajia sniffled and wiped her face messily.

She leaned against the wall to catch her breath, and her voice trembled as she haltingly explained what had happened.

But Shanshan still managed to get the gist of it.

After listening, her disgust for Cao Daqiang reached a new low.

"Ha, it seems the tables have turned."

She let out a soft, barbed laugh.

Cao Jiajia shrank back, not daring to breathe too loudly.

In truth, Shanshan didn’t really hate Cao Jiajia that much. Besides, she had no intention of letting Cao Daqiang remain scot-free. So, she decided to give things a little push with a pointed remark.

"Your mom... would really kill herself over a man? Don’t be ridiculous."

"B-But everyone said she committed suicide..."

Cao Jiajia muttered blankly, her voice trembling.

Shanshan sneered, staring at her. "Do you really think a selfish person like your mom would be willing to give her life for someone else? Especially for a man she’d long since looked down on?"

The words struck Cao Jiajia like a bolt of lightning. She shuddered, her pupils contracting.

Memories suddenly flooded back. She remembered her mother’s indifferent face before her death, the constant arguments at home, the way her mother had long since stopped wanting anything to do with her father.

It seemed nothing was as simple as it appeared.

"You... What are you saying?"

"I didn’t say a thing."

The corners of Shanshan’s mouth lifted slightly. She watched as the light in Cao Jiajia’s eyes slowly darkened, replaced by a spark of ferocity. She was immensely satisfied.

She knew the seed had been planted. She wouldn’t have to waste any more words on what came next.

"However, I do have some things here that might be useful to you. If you want revenge, we can take him down together."

She slowly took a USB drive from her bag and placed it on the table, her movements calm and unhurried.

It contained all the evidence she had secretly gathered over the years, enough to utterly ruin Cao Daqiang.

"Deal! I’m with you!"

Cao Jiajia blurted it out without a moment’s hesitation.

’Even if I’m just being used, could it be any worse than this?’

She looked up at Shanshan, the cowardice in her eyes replaced by grim determination.

She was sick of depending on others, sick of groveling, and even sicker of living under the shadow of that man’s name.

Besides, she knew Ling Xueshan.

The girl might be cold, but she played by the rules and wouldn’t stab you in the back.

Once she made a promise, she wouldn’t go back on it. And she wouldn’t scheme against her partners during a collaboration.

On that point, she could be trusted.

The two of them hit it off immediately.

Shanshan had a frightening amount of dirt on him. Combined with Cao Jiajia’s willingness to go all out, they quickly figured out where all of Cao Daqiang’s mistresses were.

They had a clear division of labor: one provided the intel, the other carried out the plan.
