What happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems her mother passed away, an accidental death; her father is a gambler; after her mother died, they originally got a lot of compensation, but before the person was even cremated, the house was surrounded by a group of debt collectors, including relatives, colleagues, and loan sharks; in the end, even the mourning hall was smashed...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da frowned slightly... so that's why she was resistant to money...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How do you know about this?

With such good grades, the school should have advised her to, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another chubby girl with iron bangs immediately said: \"I know this! I heard she didn't recover for months after her mother died; the school wanted her to repeat, but her father didn't know why he came to the school to make trouble; people like that are very scary, and the school couldn't do anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Later, it was a teacher who knew the police brigade who dealt with him before he stopped.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm... sure enough, it was the animal father making trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After that, it's not clear; it's said that Lu Wei could have gotten into a 985 that year, and she even had a chance for a recommendation for that competition of hers; it's a pity she didn't go to the competition later, and it seems there was no news about the college entrance exam... really miserable...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That girl whispered: \"Why are you asking about her?
