After stopping being a simp, the school heartthrob cried and begged to get back together.

Chapter 17 You don't need to deliberately avoid me.

"I don't want to live with trash, don't you understand?" My mom said expressionlessly, "We, your mother and I, have nothing to do with you anymore. Aren't you leaving? Are you waiting for us to throw Coke at you?"

"Han Li, you're such a stone!" Old Shen snorted and got up to leave.

His lawyer also packed his things and left with him.

My mom looked away and said, "Lawyer, thank you for your hard work today."

“Ms. Han, I’ll head back now.” The lawyer stood up. “I’ll contact you again once the formalities are completed.”

"Okay." My mom nodded.

The lawyer turned and left.

I wanted to say something.

My mom smoothed her hair and asked, "How about we have boiled fish for dinner?"

"Okay." I nodded obediently.

"It's me getting a divorce, not you. What's with that sour look on your face?" My mom stared at me.

I noticed that her expression was very natural.

"Mom, I fully support your divorce from Lao Shen." I looked at her intently. "If you want to find someone else in the future, I won't object."

"You silly child, what nonsense are you talking about?" My mother couldn't help but laugh. She had a mature and gentle temperament, and her words and actions were natural and poised. "Finding another one is a matter for later. Right now, I'm focused on my career."

"Then I wish you great success in your career, Mom!" I picked up my Coke.

My mother chuckled, "Thank you for your kind words."

We then left the fast food restaurant together.

Huo Yushen didn't come to tutor me tonight.

After dinner, I texted him to tell him that I did well on the exam.

Huo Yushen: Seeing how confident you are, I'm relieved.

Me: This time I did well on the exam, it's all thanks to you. By the way, did Huo Yubai say how the exam went?

Huo Yushen: It should be pretty good.

Me: That's good. If he gets a good score, then the previous rumors will be disproven.

Huo Yushen: I'm so sorry for causing you trouble.

Me: Why are you apologizing for him? I don't think he cares about this at all.

Huo Yushen: Why do you say that?

Me: He was indifferent to me at school.

This matter really leaves me feeling helpless.

Huo Yushen: He has a bad reputation, so he doesn't interact with you much at school, which will reduce his influence on you.

Is that right?

I suddenly realized.

So Huo Yubai ignored me because he was afraid of gossip?

I misunderstood him.

I thought he seemed arrogant and wouldn't think of these details.

I judged people by their appearance.

Me: Then I'll apologize to him later. Why would I be afraid of those rumors?

I am very powerful now.

This little disturbance won't affect me.

I didn't take Lao Shen's matter to heart, let alone this little thing.

Huo Yushen: You don't need to apologize to him; he's not angry with you.

Me: You should apologize, so I won't bother you anymore.

Huo Yushen: Okay.

I clicked on Huo Yubai's profile picture.

Me: Huo Yubai, actually you don't need to deliberately avoid me at school.

Huo Yubai: Oh.

Me: I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. I always thought you were ignoring me because you disliked me. It turns out you were thinking of me. You're really thoughtful.

Huo Yubai: Hmm.

I:……

Huo Yubai: ...

I smiled speechlessly: From now on, we'll greet each other at school as usual, you don't need to be so careful.

Huo Yubai: I understand.

Me: You can continue with your work.

Huo Yubai did not reply to me again.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

It's really good that the misunderstanding can be cleared up.

After that, I washed up and went to bed.

Two days later.

When I woke up in the morning, my mother had already left.

The aunt has prepared breakfast and is tidying up the room.

"Miss, Ms. Han said she has to go on a business trip for a few days, and told you not to worry." The aunt walked up to me.

As I ate my breakfast, I said, "Hmm, I'm not worried."

"Ms. Han also said that you should notify her as soon as the monthly exam results are released," the aunt added.

I was taken aback.

It seems my mom is also eager to know if my three weeks of hard work have yielded any results.

"Okay, I got it." I continued eating in silence.

My aunt has been taking care of me since I started elementary school, and she knows my tastes very well.

Although my mom fired the housekeeper from the villa, she invited her to come here to take care of me.

However, the nanny does not live at home; she works as a part-time worker.

She was quite satisfied, after all, her grandson had just been born, and this way she could have time to go back and take care of him.

After breakfast, I changed my clothes and went out.

Mu Xi was waiting for me at the entrance of the mall.

After we met, we went shopping and bought quite a few things.

When we got tired of shopping, we went to a dessert shop to play with crickets.

"Do you think Huo Yubai will attend Zhao Baixue's birthday party?" Mu Xi asked curiously.

I sipped my juice: "How would I know?"

"Why don't you ask him?" Mu Xi was very concerned: "Everyone knows you two have a good relationship. If he goes to Zhao Baixue's birthday party, wouldn't that be a slap in your face?"

I laughed: "He is him, and I am me. What he wants to do is none of my business."

"Sigh, I just don't want Zhao Baixue to be too smug!" Mu Xi said angrily, "Just thinking about her expression that day makes me so angry."

"Speaking of which, don't your two families have business dealings? Can you really not go?" I asked curiously.

"So what? Whether I go or not, the Zhao family can't possibly cooperate with my dad right away. This kind of thing won't affect anything at all," Mu Xi explained.

"So, whether Huo Yubai goes or not, it doesn't affect me at all," I said with a faint smile.

Mu Xi pouted, "If Huo Yubai and Gu Heng go, she'll definitely brag to you about it tomorrow."

I smiled helplessly.

I looked down and my phone screen lit up.

Someone sent me a WeChat message.

I clicked on it, and it was Gu Heng.

Gu Heng: You didn't come to Zhao Baixue's house?

I sneered. He must have gone there, which is why he found me out.

Me: I have something to do.

Gu Heng: What is it?

Me: Mind your own business!

Gu Heng: Since you're not here, I'll go back too. If you need anything, just tell me where you are and I'll come find you.

Is he sick?

I put down my phone and ignored it.

"Who is it?" Mu Xi noticed that my expression was a little off.

"Gu Heng went to Zhao Baixue's house and found I wasn't there. He asked me why I hadn't gone," I explained impatiently.

Mu Xi frowned slightly: "He really went."

I didn't care. What does it matter to me where Gu Heng goes?

I wish he would never bother me again.

"Yan Yan, look! It's Huo Yubai!" Mu Xi grabbed my arm and pointed in a direction.

Looking out from the floor-to-ceiling window of the dessert shop, I saw Huo Yubai walking alone on the street.

However, he was followed by four men who looked like they were not to be trifled with.

It was obvious that they were secretly following Huo Yubai.
