Chapter 2725 - 2743: Beat Him Up First

"They need knowledge to change their fate, need knowledge to push them out of those backward, impoverished mountain villages, need knowledge to give them the courage to step out of a place like that and go after a new life."

Having been in this line of work for a long time, Nina Rice had gotten through the burnout period and found what she wanted to do, found a new direction in life.

Now, the more she came into contact with grassroots people like this, people who could even be described as destitute, the more it felt to Nina like she was reading a storybook.

Every page she turned, every story, was different.

But without exception, every one of them stirred up mixed emotions in her; there was laughter and there were tears.

"There’s one sentence you got right: that man is a good man among bad ones." Jane Sampson could imagine that when he made up his mind to let his daughter go with her mother, when he prepared himself for a lifetime of never seeing his daughter again, that feeling, that willingness to set aside his paternal love for the sake of his daughter’s good.

Honestly, when it came to protecting his daughter, as a father, that man was indeed great.

"Jane, I’m back in Capital Province. When you’re free, let’s fix a time and go out shopping. I’ll treat it as giving myself a few days off." Nina said, "We’ll go buy clothes and small toys for your baby! I’m really so looking forward to your baby being born soon."

"It’s not even been three months yet, it’s still early." Jane Sampson lowered her head and gently poked her still flat belly with her hand. "If I didn’t say anything, no one would be able to tell I’m pregnant."

"I heard some pregnant women don’t start showing until the later several months." Nina said.

Right after that, over there Alexander Forest’s voice suddenly came through, mercilessly mocking Jane Sampson on the other end.

"Fat fish is already that chubby, how can she not have a little belly? Shouldn’t the fat in her belly be even bigger than the baby?" Alexander Forest asked.

"You’re with Alexander Forest?" Just from the sound, it was clearly Alexander Forest’s voice. Jane Sampson let out a little "huh." "Isn’t Alexander Forest a turtle egg? He used to be chubby like a pig when he was a kid. The photos from when he was a kid are still at the Black Residence; the meat on his cheeks was about to droop all the way to ground level."

"Yeah, I’m at the hot pot restaurant checking the accounts. This guy, who knows how he found out I was here, just chased me down, chirping nonstop in my ear. He’s driving me crazy." Nina was full of disdain.

Hearing Jane Sampson say that Alexander Forest was fat when he was young, Nina also laughed. "Exactly, he should take a good look at what he was like before. He was so fat his legs could barely lift, and he still dares to laugh at others."

"Let’s not bring up the past. We’re talking about now." Alexander Forest lifted his own clothes and stepped up in front of Nina. "Look at me; my figure is great now. I go to the gym four days a week, training my abdominal muscles every day. Look, Nina, open your eyes wide and take a good look at the abdominal muscles of your future boyfriend."

"Get lost." Nina yelled at Alexander Forest. "Don’t dirty my eyes. Get out, don’t disturb me while I’m doing the accounts."

"Tsk tsk tsk, saying you’re not looking, but your eyes are honestly sneaking glances at my abdominal muscles. Heh, woman." Alexander Forest clicked his tongue, dropped his clothes back down, then sprawled carelessly into the seat next to Nina, even stretching his hand across the back of Nina’s chair, looking exactly like he was holding Nina.

He looked every bit like a hooligan.

"Alexander Forest, don’t force your dearest madam to go rough on you and chase you out with a broom." Nina slapped Alexander Forest’s hand away directly. "Your brother’s in iInternational, and you still have so much free time to keep staring at me every day? Are your company matters not enough for you?"
