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

Chapter Thirty-Two: He came too?

"Shen Yuan, you smell like an old man, stay away from me." My mother looked disgusted. "Did you not shower or brush your teeth? You smell like manure. Secretary Liu actually likes this kind of tone. I wonder if he has some kind of weird fetish?"

"Mom, Secretary Liu looks quite young. She must be unhappy about being with an old man like that." I said, looking at Old Shen's face, which looked reasonably well-maintained.

No matter how well he takes care of himself, his face still looks tired from going out socializing every day, smoking, drinking, and staying up late.

He was more like Secretary Liu's father than Secretary Liu.

Old Shen was furious: "Shen Yan, I think you don't want to inherit the Shen family!"

"I really don't want to." I sneered. "After all, if I inherit the inheritance, why should I have to support your mistress and illegitimate daughter?"

Given Lao Shen's character, he would definitely give the mother and daughter shares after being persuaded by Secretary Liu.

Am I not working for them?

Besides, I never wanted to inherit it in the first place.

"You're all talk and no action!" Old Shen said angrily. "Shen Yan, with the connections you have now, let me tell you, if you just come home and I train you properly, you will definitely be able to run the company well!"

Old Shen's words made me laugh.

"Old Shen, it sounds like you're begging me to come back." I blinked. "What are you up to?"

Old Shen hesitated, as if he were really hiding something.

"Shen Yuan, let me tell you, we're divorced, and our daughter has nothing to do with you anymore. Go back right now and stay with your mistress and her illegitimate daughter. Don't let me see you!" My mother was very annoyed.

"Han Li, if you fire Xia Zhe, I will remarry you." Old Shen seemed to be pleading for peace, but his tone was condescending: "You alone cannot make a good life for yourself and Shen Yan, only I can."

"Get lost!" My mom pointed her finger at Old Shen's nose: "Who do you think you are? Who would want your lousy company? You're here to see Shen Yan now just to get her to put in a good word for you with the Mu family. If you knew Shen Yan was so useful, what were you doing before? You even got that illegitimate daughter into Shen Yan's class. Did you think she would help you?"

My mom protected me like she would a chick.

Seeing how protective she was of me filled me with warmth and happiness.

Looking at Lao Shen's smug face, I just felt disgusted.

"Shengyan's matter has nothing to do with me," Old Shen frowned.

"Old Shen, I'll go to your big birthday celebration." I suddenly changed my mind.

"Really?" Old Shen asked happily, "You can come this weekend?"

"Yes." I nodded. "I'll call Mu Xi."

"That's great!" Old Shen was very happy. He suppressed the smile on his lips and said, "You should have come earlier. After all, you are my daughter. People would laugh at you if you came too late."

"Okay, I understand." I nodded.

"How about this, I'll send someone to pick you up that day, so you won't be late." Old Shen finalized this with me, afraid that I wouldn't go.

"Okay, you can go now." I said impatiently.

Old Shen then left.

"Yan Yan, are you really sure about this?" my mother asked, puzzled.

"Just think of it as going to watch the show." I laughed. "Mom, I only said I would help him make an introduction. Whether or not we can make this deal with the Mu family is not up to me."

My mom understood what I meant.

"By the way, I heard your grandma is coming." My mother's expression suddenly turned very gloomy: "I really didn't expect that Secretary Liu would bring out this old hag to prevent your father and me from rekindling our old flame."

"No way?" I exclaimed in surprise. "My grandma is something else entirely. What was she thinking?"

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Anyway, she'll get what's coming to her later." My mother showed no sympathy whatsoever.

In our hearts, Lao Shen's mother is the tiger among tigers, the lion among lions.

He's no ordinary person!

Back in my room, I called Mu Xi, hoping she could cooperate with me over the weekend.

Mu Xi readily agreed: "Anyway, I have nothing to do that day, so I will definitely go."

"Okay, see you on Sunday then." I hung up the phone.

Looking at WeChat, Huo Yushen was pinned to the top of my chat list.

But the last time we chatted was a week ago.

Actually, we've barely spoken to each other these days.

Most of the time, I'll share things that have happened around me or recently.

The only constant is that after each exam, he always asks me to send him the exam paper so he can help me summarize it.

However, after he sent me the summary, he didn't talk to me much.

I have no idea what he's busy with.

Me: Yushen, the exam is in a month. After the college entrance exam, how about I come to Xinjing City to find you?

After sending the message, I stared at my phone for a long time.

Huo Yushen must be busy; he didn't reply to me.

forget about it!

There's only one month left, I need to work really hard!

-

The weekend came quickly.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Lao Shen sent someone to pick me up.

I'm not ready yet.

My mom specially prepared a haute couture dress for me.

I obediently put it on.

It was a black and champagne-colored dress with an off-the-shoulder design and a skirt that reached the knees, making her look young and playful.

I put on light makeup, and I looked pretty in the mirror.

Thinking about how I was tortured beyond recognition by Gu Heng and the others in my past life, I feel so much hatred.

But I don't have a way to take revenge on them right now.

When I'm fully grown and ready, I won't let them get away with it!

"Let's go." I came out of the room.

The driver looked at me quietly and said, "Miss, the old lady is getting impatient."

The implication was that I had delayed for too long.

"Is that so?" I sneered. "I don't mind making her wait any longer, anyway, I don't want to go yet."

The driver was afraid I wouldn't go, since it was a task assigned to him by Lao Shen.

He dared not speak recklessly for a moment.

I said coldly, "I don't want to make things difficult for you, but as a driver, you should know what you can and cannot say. If you want to continue working for the Shen family, you should understand who is in charge in the end. If you've thought it through, you shouldn't have offended me."

The driver said awkwardly, "Miss, I'm sorry."

I snorted, picked up my bag, and walked out the door.

The driver followed.

On the way, Lao Shen kept urging the driver to hurry up.

I grabbed the phone: "Old Shen, why are you rushing me? Don't you know the driver is driving? What if something happens? Are you hoping I die soon?"

Old Shen fell silent.

"Brother, why is your daughter talking to you like that?"

I heard a familiar voice.

That was the voice of Lao Shen's younger brother, Shen Hai.

Is he here too?

I hate that family the most.

Old Shen hung up the phone.

Soon, I arrived at the villa.

In the blink of an eye, my mom and I have been living outside for eight months.

Time really flies!
