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

Chapter Thirty-Three: If you're so capable, why don't you kick me out?

"Shen Yan, I didn't expect you to come after all."

A few classmates happened to get off the bus and immediately started mocking me when they saw me.

"Didn't you see it was the birthday celebrant's car that picked me up?" I sneered. "Unlike you guys, you're all trying to curry favor with people who don't appreciate it, acting like you're some kind of VIP."

"You!" They were furious.

I sneered and strode into the villa.

The plants and trees here are very familiar, yet they have changed a lot.

When my mother lived here, she also enjoyed tinkering with furniture and such. People who came to visit her would always praise her for her good taste and discerning eye.

Now that she has moved away and the villa has a new owner, everything has changed.

The style has become increasingly ostentatious, with everything glittering in gold.

The guests attending the birthday banquet slowly revealed a hint of disdain on their faces.

"Shen Yan?" My cousin spotted me.

She was the third child in her second uncle's family, and her name was Shen Nianzi.

She longs for a son.

After Old Shen became wealthy, Second Uncle Shen Hai had been trying to have a son.

He felt that these assets should be inherited by the Shen family's son.

My second aunt was in her forties and, with a big belly, finally gave birth to a son for him a few years ago.

The whole family dotes on her.

My second aunt was really amazing back then. When Lao Shen and my mother weren't around, she told me that everything I was living in and eating belonged to her son, and that I was spending her son's money.

Now it's not just me who spent it; two more people have done it, and they're quite cunning. I wonder what my second uncle is thinking.

"Nianzi, you're here." I walked over.

My relationship with Shen Nianzi wasn't particularly close, but it was passable.

She is the same age as me, but she is thin and petite.

It's clear that she's not well-liked at home.

In such times and in such a family, she still couldn't get enough to eat.

And the clothes she was wearing were the same ones I bought for her last year.

My second uncle and his family are so stingy.

She's still my own daughter, no matter what.

"Shen Yan." Shen Nianzi turned around and looked at me, winking at me: "Be careful today."

"I was prepared." I smiled.

I walked into the villa.

"Shen Yan, you still know how to come back." Second Uncle was in the entryway.

I sneered: "I have to come back. After all, I still have the surname Shen. If Second Uncle thinks it's not okay, then hurry up and tell Old Shen. I'd love to change my surname."

My second uncle seems to have received a message from Lao Shen: don't offend me.

In the past, when my mother was around, he was quite restrained.

Seeing that I was all alone, he started acting like an elder.

"Shen Yan, I'm not trying to criticize you and your daughter, but look how good Liu Xiaohui is at handling people," the second uncle praised his new sister-in-law. "She even knew to bring us to the city to enjoy our retirement."

“She has no idea that it’s easy to invite a god but hard to send him away.” I curled my lips, my eyes full of sarcasm. “Maybe she’s already regretting it.”

"I can tell you're up to no good, trying to sow discord between us. Let me tell you, without you and your daughter, this family would be so much less harmonious," the second uncle said angrily.

“It’s best if you all get along well, but I wonder how much Uncle will get after Old Shen dies?” I glanced at him and said, “Uncle, let me give you a friendly reminder: if you get tens of millions after Old Shen dies, don’t think that’s a lot. Old Shen’s net worth is several hundred million.”

Several hundred million?

My second uncle's eyes darted around.

I left with a smile.

in the living room.

A group of people sat on the sofa, drinking tea, chatting, and eating fruit.

An elderly woman with white hair and stern features sat in the middle. She was somewhat thin and had a slightly sharp look in her eyes.

The way she looks at her children and grandchildren is different.

When she sees her grandson, her eyes are full of smiles; when she sees her granddaughter, her eyes are full of disdain.

She felt bad if her granddaughter took even one extra orange.

"Shen Yan is here." Old Shen looked behind me: "Mu Xi isn't here?"

"Mu Xi is a distinguished guest, would she come now?" I said sarcastically. "Do you think that just because she's my classmate, she has to come early? What do you mean to her?"

"How dare you talk like that, you worthless good-for-nothing?" the old woman said coldly.

I squinted: "Who are you calling a damn good-for-nothing?"

"Shen Yuan, is this the good daughter you've handed over?" The old woman was very angry.

Old Shen glared at me.

“I told you I wasn’t coming, but you want to do business with the Mu family, so you begged me to come and practically forced me to come. You should be prepared.” I smiled and said, “Unless you don’t need me to speak on your behalf in the Mu family.”

Old Shen's expression softened slightly: "Come with me."

“Say what you have to say here.” I began, “Listen up, all of you. The company is on the verge of collapse and is already running at a loss. You may enjoy the excitement of this grand affair, but it all costs money. Now, Old Shen is begging me to help introduce him to my classmate. You should know that I severed all ties with him a long time ago. I can walk away anytime, and no one can stop me. I advise you all to keep your mouths shut and not mess with me.”

Everyone present was stunned by my speech.

They couldn't believe I would say something like that.

"Alright, why are you acting like you've taken two gunpowder pills?" Old Shen said impatiently.

"I don't want to either. Who doesn't want to be elegant? Like your mistress and illegitimate daughter, they do nothing and can just lie around enjoying themselves. I'm just unhappy, I just want to vent my anger, so what?" I questioned, "If you're so capable, why don't you kick me out?"

"Shen Yuan, I think she just doesn't want to help and is deliberately trying to cause trouble!" The old woman's hoarse voice was filled with a strong sense of hostility: "Give her a little leeway and she really thinks she's something special. We should drive her away."

"Mom, don't get involved." Old Shen was annoyed. He stood up, walked over to me, and pulled me away.

He pulled me into the study.

"Are you going to help or not?" Old Shen banged on the table.

"You think you can get me to bring you big business with just a few words? In the end, I won't get anything out of it and will be ridiculed by those people outside. I'm not that cheap." My eyes were cold: "Old Shen, you're a businessman. You should know what I want."

Old Shen narrowed his eyes: "But everything I have is yours."

"Heh, Lao Shen, don't treat me like a three-year-old. Verbal promises don't count, and even if you make a will in front of me, I don't believe it. That kind of thing can be changed so easily." I snorted coldly, "I don't want to beat around the bush with you. Even close brothers keep clear accounts, let alone us, who have no relationship with each other anymore. I want you to transfer 30% of the company's shares to me."

"Thirty?!" Old Shen looked at me like I was crazy: "Shen Yan, have you ruined your brain from studying too much?"

I turned around and opened the door.

Outside the door, Secretary Liu was eavesdropping.

Old Shen was surprised to find Secretary Liu outside the door, and his expression turned somewhat displeased.

I gave a cold laugh: "Then I'm not going to serve you!"
