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

Chapter Thirty: Backer?

Time slips away like sand through your fingers.

Soon, there will be 100 days left until the college entrance examination.

The atmosphere at school became very tense. Everyone was studying hard, while some chose to give up or give up.

After the New Year, I never saw Huo Yushen again, and I didn't even see Huo Yubai.

The school teachers didn't seem to say anything.

These days, I always come in second place in every exam. Without Huo Yubai, Gu Heng would always be in first place.

Zhao Baixue's grades have been declining, and she has even fallen out of the top ten.

She looked very anxious.

"Gu Heng, how do you solve this problem?" Zhao Baixue asked Gu Heng to explain the problems to her every day.

Gu Heng would glance at me first, and if I didn't react, or if I buried myself in my test paper with a deep look in his eyes, he would then begin to explain the questions to Zhao Baixue.

The future is important.

It's so important that many people who used to like stirring up trouble no longer have the time.

A rally to mark the 100-day countdown.

Gu Heng took the stage to give a speech.

I wasn't interested and yawned listlessly.

He was speaking passionately and eloquently, while I just hoped the conference would end quickly.

"...Here, I hope everyone can get into their ideal university..." At this point, Gu Heng glanced at me and said, "I hope everyone can live a life without regrets and be true to themselves."

The conference finally came to an end.

Mu Xi and I walked outside. "Honestly, if Huo Yubai were here today, Gu Heng wouldn't have gotten a chance."

Mu Xi now looks down on Gu Heng even more.

Everyone's been saying that since school started.

It is clear that the final exam had a significant impact on the results.

If Gu Heng is a top student, then Huo Yubai is a genius.

He rarely attends class, yet he always gets first place in exams—it's practically a miracle.

“Shen Yan!” Gu Heng stood in front of me.

I frowned slightly: "Is something the matter?"

"It's still about school." Gu Heng looked at me intently. "With your grades, getting into Tsinghua or Peking University isn't difficult, but it will still be challenging. You have a hundred days left, so I'll help you catch up on your studies."

“I don’t need it.” I refused decisively: “Tsinghua and Peking University are good schools, but I haven’t decided to go yet.”

After saying that, I pulled Mu Xi away in another direction.

Mu Xi was surprised: "You're not going to Tsinghua or Peking University? With such good grades."

“I’m not interested in many of the majors offered by Tsinghua and Peking Universities,” I explained. “But I’m still undecided about whether or not to go.”

Although I know that going to Tsinghua or Peking University will allow me to meet Huo Yushen, I can't gamble with my future.

"It's good to think this through," Mu Xi said with a smile.

Suddenly, she stopped smiling.

"Holy crap, Shen Yan, look!" Mu Xi pointed to the distance.

I saw Liu Shengyan.

Why is she here?

Then I saw Lao Shen, Secretary Liu, and the grade director come out of the teaching building.

The group of people were chatting and laughing.

In particular, Secretary Liu was holding Old Shen's arm, and the two were very intimate.

Then, Lao Shen found me.

"Shen Yan, come here," Old Shen called to me.

Who does he think he is?

I ignored her and turned to leave.

There are too many people I hate in this school.

I found a corner and texted my mom.

Me: Mom, Lao Shen actually brought Liu Shengyan back.

My mom: That bastard! He asked me for money the other day, and when I refused, he threatened to transfer Liu Shengyan back to her old school. He actually dared to do that!

Me: Is Lao Shen's company going to go bankrupt?

My mom: Pretty much. He didn't make any money on either of the projects before or after the New Year. He's just too proud to admit it.

I see.

My mom: I'll go and take care of it right away.

Me: Mom, no need. Actually, Liu Shengyan is no big deal to me. If you lend the money to Lao Shen, he might not be able to pay it back. There are still 100 days until the college entrance exam, and then he won't be able to do anything about it.

My mom: It's because there are still 100 days left, so we can't let it affect you.

Me: It won't have any impact, don't worry.

I sent a "I love you" emoji and then put my phone away.

Back in the classroom, I found everyone looking at me strangely.

Then I saw Liu Shengyan sitting at the very back.

She actually transferred to our class.

Old Shen, you're really something!

I sat down.

The homeroom teacher looked at me: "That Shen Yan, your father..."

"Teacher, Shen Yuan is no longer my father. When he divorced my mother, he severed ties with me. He also swindled the child support he was supposed to give me back. I'll post the letter of severance in the class group later. I hope everyone will stop talking about this." I said frankly.

Liu Shengyan, who was behind her, awkwardly picked at her toes.

"I wonder if this money was used to get someone enrolled in school." Mu Xi understood the implications.

I smiled.

Her words sparked a discussion among the crowd.

"Liu Shengyan looked so victorious just now. It turns out she got the child support payment for the original wife. They're quite shrewd."

"Let me tell you, be careful when making friends with this kind of person, or you might get taken advantage of."

"The child of a mistress, being friends with her, just thinking about it makes me feel disgusted."

"Shut up, all of you, class has started." The teacher had a headache.

I remained silent.

after class.

Liu Shengyan walked to Gu Heng's side: "Brother."

Gu Heng pursed his lips: "Now that you're in this class, you should study hard. Although there are still a hundred days left, with me here, you still have a chance to go to university."

"Hmm!" Liu Shengyan's lips curled up slightly, her gaze suddenly falling on several notebooks on Gu Heng's desk: "Brother, are these for me?"

"Don't move!" Gu Heng pressed down on the notebooks: "This isn't for you. Without a foundation, you won't understand it at all!"

Liu Shengyan was embarrassed.

“Gu Heng, you scared her.” Zhao Baixue came over and comforted her, “Shengyan, don’t be afraid. He didn’t mean it. It’s just that these notebooks are for Shen Yan. I can’t even touch them, let alone you.”

Liu Shengyan glanced at me sideways, her eyes filled with resentment.

I knew Zhao Baixue was stirring up trouble, so I ignored them.

"Cousin, you're so good to her." Liu Shengyan said, fiddling with the hem of her dress.

"Class is about to start, go back to your seats." Gu Heng said in a commanding tone.

Liu Shengyan is very obedient.

Zhao Baixue also glanced at Gu Heng, "That's your sister, don't go too far."

Gu Heng remained silent.

After school.

Mu Xi pulled me back: "I asked my aunt, and she said that Liu Shengyan's ability to transfer back to school has nothing to do with your father."

I asked in surprise, "Not Old Shen?"

“My aunt said that student registration is very difficult to obtain. Anyway, it was handled by the principal himself, and the grade head personally received him.” Mu Xi frowned: “In my experience, your father may have some powerful backers.”

backing?

If Lao Shen had powerful backers, would his company have gone bankrupt?

"I'll ask my parents for you when I get back," Mu Xi said. "My aunt said that this backer might be from Xinjing City."
