The Cannon Fodder Doesn't Want to Return to the Rich Family (Translated)

Chapter 40

Seeing Zhang Xinyang's miserable appearance, Wang Shining's eyes gleamed with triumph as he laughed heartily.

His voice was filled with intense malice.

"Zhang Xinyang, did you think that having your mom help you transfer classes would let you escape from my grasp? How naive can you be? Let me guess, you probably haven't told your mom about what's going on at school, right? After all, as a filial son, you must be very afraid of causing trouble for your mom's second marriage."

Seeing Zhang Xinyang's expression grow more and more pale, Wang Shining felt a profound, indescribable pleasure.

Yes, this kind of pitiful expression suits these lowly, insignificant pests best.

Why should Zhang Xinyang be so happy when Wang Shining himself is unhappy? Seeing the happiness of their family really made him want to tear it all apart.

Wang Shining grinned maliciously.

"If your mom knew that I was bullying you at school, do you think she'd choose to help you? Or would she prefer you to endure it, afraid of causing trouble for your stepfather? You should know that your stepfather is my dad's assistant. You got into this school because my dad noticed him working hard and helped you transfer in. Are you brave enough to tell your mom and let her make that choice? Are you sure you can handle the result?"

Zhang Xinyang had been gazing up at the broad, free sky outside the window since earlier. His eyes were hollow and dim, but when Wang Shining mentioned his mother and stepfather, a ripple of emotion stirred in his eyes.

He suddenly recalled the day he came to Haishi with his mother from the mountain city; the sky had been just as clear.

He had always known that his mother, working in Haishi, had met a pretty decent uncle. When he learned that his mother wanted to marry that uncle, Zhang Xinyang had no objections as long as his mother could be happy.

He thought he would be left behind in the mountain city, but his mother brought him to their new home in Haishi.

Wanting to protect the same woman, he had gotten along well with his humorous stepfather.

His life in Haishi seemed to be falling into place. He even transferred to Huiying High School, a prestigious national school, and began to look forward to his future.

But shortly after starting school, everything began to change.

Zhang Xinyang lowered his head, his voice hoarse and tinged with despair. "Why?"

Wang Shining: "Why? Hahaha! Are you asking why I'm bullying you? It's simply because I dislike you. It's that simple. Do I need any other reason?"

Recalling how, in the first semester of high school, Zhang Xinyang, a transfer student from a small place, answered a question that Wang Shining himself couldn't, Wang Shining still felt furious, even though it was long past.

Just a little pest he could easily manipulate had caused him to lose face in front of the teacher and classmates.

What infuriated him even more was that he had overheard Zhang Xinyang boasting about solving a question no one else could answer when he passed by Zhang Xinyang and his mother after school.

Wang Shining had looked coldly at Zhang Xinyang's bright smile at the time, his mind filled with one thought: to destroy him!

Hearing Wang Shining's taunting response, Zhang Xinyang's lips turned white.

He clenched the small knife hidden in his pocket, slowly drawing it out. The tip of the blade gleamed with a sharp light under the sunlight.

Wang Shining hated seeing Zhang Xinyang's current expression of suffering, which made him feel as if Zhang Xinyang was mocking him internally.
