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

Chapter Thirty-Five: I Had No Intention of Tolerating

I went downstairs.

Gu Heng just walked in. When he saw me, a smile appeared on his handsome face.

I ignored him.

"Brother," Liu Shengyan came out to greet him, "Everyone is waiting for you."

I was surprised.

So all those people, including the old woman, were waiting for Gu Heng?

What's happening here?

Even if Gu Heng is Secretary Liu's nephew, and is good at studying and handsome, he shouldn't be so popular with the Shen family.

The Shen family is the most snobbish family; they would never look down on a poor boy like Gu Heng.

Gu Heng looked terrible. He glanced at me, then whispered a reprimand to Liu Shengyan: "It seems you've all ignored what I said!"

Liu Shengyan looked embarrassed: "Everyone just wants to get to know you."

Actually, neither she nor her mother said anything.

However, the Shen family had already tacitly acknowledged that Gu Heng's identity was extraordinary.

Gu Heng was still displeased: "Shengyan, although I am grateful for my aunt's help, if you go too far, I will no longer care about you."

Liu Shengyan said with some grievance, "Brother, we're all family."

"It's my cousin," Gu Heng emphasized coldly.

There's a difference between a biological brother and a cousin.

Liu Shengyan used to call him cousin, but she changed her address after she learned Gu Heng's true identity.

He was especially affectionate towards the Shen family.

She was suddenly reminded and felt a little embarrassed, especially since she was in front of Shen Yan.

They talked for a long time, but didn't mention what exactly happened to Gu Heng.

I suddenly felt bored, so I went out to pick up Mu Xi.

She should be here by now.

After I left.

Gu Heng stepped forward, his eyes sharp: "Have you and your aunt been saying anything bad in front of the Shen family?"

"Don't worry, no one knows except my dad." Liu Shengyan was very nervous.

"That had better be!" Gu Heng said coldly, "Don't forget what you promised me. If you dare to cause trouble for Shen Yan, I won't let you off!"

Liu Shengyan panicked: "Yes."

At this moment, at the entrance of the villa.

Mu Xi got out of the car.

She looked at me with a smile: "Oh dear, you look like you've gone back to your old self dressed like this."

"My mom prepared the clothes. How did you discuss it with your dad?" I asked.

“My dad heard your plan and thought your suggestion was good. He also wants me to take over the company and familiarize myself with the business as soon as possible.” Mu Xi smiled. “So, he agreed, and I will work with you on this project.”

"That's great." I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry, my parents will definitely agree to this." Mu Xi smiled and asked, "How's things going on your end?"

"Old Shen has already agreed, and the contract has been signed," I replied.

"What kind of speed is this?" Mu Xi couldn't believe it. "He actually agreed?"

"The company may have really encountered irreversible trouble, and the Mu family is its only hope." I smiled faintly.

“My dad keeps reminding me that if the Shen Group can’t get into the new industries within two years, then there’s really no need to invest.” Mu Xi frowned slightly.

“The Shen Group won’t last a year,” I said coldly. “The shareholders within the Shen Group have all come to my mother; they are all dissatisfied with Old Shen.”

"How did your father manage to get so many people against him?" Mu Xi found it unbelievable.

I was also helpless: "The biggest taboo in the company is nepotism. Secretary Liu has put several of his relatives in the company. The shareholders with a keen sense of smell have already sensed that something is wrong. Regardless of whether the company can continue to operate, once Secretary Liu gains power, he will definitely drive them out. So they plan to strike first."

Mu Xi frowned.

"Anyway, the half I was in charge of will eventually be merged into my mother's company, and the Shen Group will cease to exist," I explained softly.

“Auntie is truly heartbroken, otherwise she would definitely have left some business for your father to live on in his old age.” Mu Xi saw it very clearly.

“Yeah, if Lao Shen hadn’t transferred Liu Shengyan back to school, my mom wouldn’t be so angry.” I sneered, “Lao Shen thinks he can get away with just laughing and joking with me.”

Who would have thought that I would be so ruthless as to destroy the entire Shen Group?

In short, I won't give it to anyone for free.

The maid ran in and informed Old Shen.

When Old Shen learned that Mu Xi had arrived, he immediately came out to greet her.

"Mu Xi is here." Old Shen said with a smile, "Thank you very much."

"Uncle Shen, you're too kind. Shen Yan invited me, so I came." Mu Xi smiled.

Old Shen looked at her with a smile: "Please come in."

We walked together toward the living room.

"Miss Mu," the old woman said politely.

In the past, she always looked unhappy with me and my friends.

Unexpectedly, she also knew that the Mu family was useful to Old Shen, and dared not offend Mu Xi.

Mu Xi knew that the old woman favored boys over girls and had often looked down on me, so she kept a cold expression on her face.

The old woman was a little annoyed.

Old Shen cleared his throat, reminding everyone to perk up.

"Miss Mu, please have a seat," Secretary Liu said politely.

Mu Xi snorted coldly: "Uncle Shen, let me make this clear first. Although the Mu family sent me, I am also the real daughter of the Mu family. Shouldn't you at least find someone of equal status to take care of me? What is Secretary Liu's status? Is she the real Mrs. Shen, or just a company secretary?"

Secretary Liu looked grim.

"Miss Mu, aren't you being too picky? We've been treating you with great courtesy." Although the old woman didn't like Secretary Liu.

But Mu Xi's insults towards Secretary Liu didn't satisfy her.

"I'm being picky?" Mu Xi sneered. "You're right, I am indeed picky. I'm Shen Yan's friend first, and then the Mu family's daughter. If you're unhappy, you can just kick me out."

The old woman's face turned green.

Old Shen looked at Secretary Liu impatiently: "Alright, you can go now, don't cause any more trouble!"

She knew perfectly well about my relationship with Mu Xi, yet she still clung to me. She deserved to be humiliated.

She wants to be in the spotlight, how can I let her have her way?

Liu Shengyan was displeased to hear that Secretary Liu was being looked down upon: "Mu Xi, my mother is very polite to you, but you are so rude!"

"Politeness?" Mu Xi said sarcastically, "Your mother knows it's a secret, and we can't say anything? You and your mother are shameless, and you won't even allow others to stand it up?"

"Shen Yan, Mu Xi is your friend, aren't you going to do anything about it?" The old woman steered the conversation towards me.

I smiled casually: "What did my friend say wrong?"

Everyone was startled.

“I didn’t come here to swallow my pride. The company is in such a state. If you want to continue living a good life, you all have to rely on me and my best friend. And you still dare to act so arrogantly. You really have no self-awareness.” I sneered: “Anyway, we’re not afraid of you. If you don’t like it, then kick us out.”

Mu Xi and I were just eager to find an excuse to leave.

Anyway, we've already achieved our goal.
