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

Chapter Thirty-Six: I Don't Have a Good Mother Like You

"Shen Yan, how dare you talk to your grandma like that?" Shen Hai glared at me.

I sneered: "What right do you have to lecture me? My mother divorced Lao Shen a long time ago, and I've severed all ties with him. Now we're just business partners at most. Who cares who you are?"

Shen Hai glared at me: "You've never been well-behaved since you were a child, and now it seems your mother didn't raise you properly either!"

When he mentioned my mother, my eyes suddenly turned murderous.

"No matter how bad my mother is, she didn't cheat on her husband. It's Lao Shen who cheated. I wonder who taught him to do that!" I said sarcastically.

I'm not going to put up with them anymore.

"You good-for-nothing, what did you say!" The old woman's eyes widened, and her thin face turned a liverish color.

"Big brother, look how angry she's made Mom!" Shen Hai immediately complained.

"Stop arguing, everyone! Say less!" Old Shen was very annoyed.

Mu Xi said calmly, "They say that managing a family and cultivating oneself can bring peace to the world. Uncle Shen, if you're so bad at managing your family, how can you possibly manage a company?"

Old Shen fell silent.

After all, this matter was something that outsiders would laugh at, especially those he wanted to cooperate with.

"Muxi, I'll take you to the banquet hall to eat, let's go!" I pulled Muxi away.

Old Shen glared at everyone in exasperation: "All of you, shut your mouths!"

"Big brother, you should do something about Shen Yan. How did she become like this? She's nothing like she used to be." Shen Hai was speechless after being rebuked by Shen Yan, and could only rage helplessly behind her back.

After he said that, Shen Yuan also felt that Shen Yan was really different from before.

Ballroom.

All the guests attending Lao Shen's birthday banquet are here.

Thankfully, not many people witnessed what just happened.

Mu Xi and I sat down in the main seats.

Given our positions, we should also be sitting here.

"Shen Yan, what gives you the right to sit here?" Huang Xinyi said indifferently.

Huang Xinyi and Zhao Baixue have a very good relationship.

Since Liu Shengyan transferred back to school, she has become very close to Huang Xinyi, and the two often hang out together.

I ignored her.

"Shen Yan, are you deaf?" Huang Xinyi said again.

"Where did this dog come from?" I retorted sarcastically. "What are you? It's none of your business where I sit."

"Shen Yan, don't go too far!" Huang Xinyi said angrily.

"Too much?" I sneered. "If you admit you're a dog of the Shen family, I'll give you my seat right now. If you don't dare, then get lost!"

"You!" Huang Xinyi pointed at my nose: "You have no manners at all, and it seems your mother isn't any better!"

I stood up, grabbed a plate of cold dishes from the table, and threw it at them.

Huang Xinyi couldn't dodge in time and got splashed all over.

She screamed loudly, attracting a crowd.

"Huang Xinyi, who do you think you are? How dare you insult my mother?" I said angrily. "You're close to Liu Shengyan, and you want to stand up for her, but you don't even know your own limitations! What do you think Liu Shengyan will give you just because you've helped her? She's an illegitimate daughter born to a mistress, and the Shen family isn't her place to call the shots!"

Huang Xinyi, with red eyes and a wronged expression, said, "Classmates, look! Shen Yan is bullying us!"

"Huang Xinyi, aren't you the one who's accusing others first?" Mu Xi stood up. "I'd like to hear who will speak up for you. Well, I'm going to do what you just said and give his mother a piece of my mind."

Sure enough, no one dared to utter a sound.

Huang Xinyi is in the wrong in this matter.

Huang Xinyi still thought I was the same kind of pushover I used to be, submissive and never daring to argue with anyone.

"I'll say it again, any of you who want to stand up for Liu Shengyan can, but don't blame me for being rude. Don't try to play both sides later, thinking you're innocent. The one who started it is the one who's wronged." I narrowed my eyes: "You're classmates now, but after high school, who cares who you are?"

"Shen Yan!" Old Shen walked over angrily, "These were all invited by Sheng Yan, what are you doing?"

"I don't care who invited them. Anyone who dares to say a word against me or my mother will be punished severely. Old Shen, you're no exception!" I glared at him. "And don't forget, you still need my help!"

Old Shen glared at me.

I sneered: "Liu Shengyan, let me remind you, you can only come back to show off in front of me when you change your surname. There's no point in being smug now."

Liu Shengyan bit her lip tightly, her eyes filled with tears.

“Shen Yan, no matter what the mistakes are, they are all…” Secretary Liu pulled Liu Shengyan into his arms and immediately began to cry.

"Stop! Now you're crying? Why didn't you think about the consequences when you were cheating?" I said, displeased. "You knowingly cheated and named your daughter Shengyan. What kind of kind person are you? Stop pretending in front of me!"

Secretary Liu was speechless.

"Uncle Shen, I think I should leave first." Mu Xi took my hand. "My father agreed to cooperate with you because of my relationship with Shen Yan. Shen Yan is my friend. If anyone bullies her, I won't let them get away with it. I can't interfere in your family's affairs, and I don't want to watch the show. I'll take my leave now."

She pulled me away.

Mu Xi looks soft and gentle, but she actually has a lot of presence.

"Miss Mu!" Old Shen exclaimed anxiously.

Mu Xi didn't care; she just grabbed me and left.

They came out of the villa.

We both laughed.

"Awesome!" Mu Xi exclaimed. "I hate people like Liu Shengyan the most. It's clearly her own fault, but she still acts all wronged. Who is she trying to fool?"

"For the people who come to see." I laughed. "Actually, whether I made a scene or not today, she achieved her goal."

Mu Xi asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"

“If I don’t make a scene, she can prove that she’s the one who’s stronger than me in the Shen family.” I explained, “If I make a scene, it may seem like I’ve won, but others will think I’m too domineering and bullying her.”

"Does she think those people are brainless?" Mu Xi scoffed. "It would be truly laughable if anyone actually believed your second statement."

“There will be people who believe it, otherwise how did Huang Xinyi fall for it?” I asked.

"Yes, Huang Xinyi is really stupid and foolish, being used as a pawn!" Mu Xi said in a deep voice.

"Shen Yan." Shen Nianzi came out of the villa: "You haven't left yet."

I turned around and said, "I'm leaving now."

“That Liu Shengyan is deliberately targeting you.” Shen Nianzi frowned slightly. “Even though there’s only one month left until the college entrance exam, you still need to be careful.”

"Nianzi, aren't you taking the exam?" I asked.

Shen Nianzi shook her head: "I'm not very smart, and my parents are unwilling to spend money on tutoring me. Even if they did spend money, a month wouldn't be enough time."

“You’re not stupid.” I frowned. “They just don’t want you to go to university. The Shen family doesn’t need your tuition.”

Shen Nianzi whispered, "There's nothing I can do; Grandma makes all the decisions at home."

I walked up to her and said, "Nianzi, you can't always let things go like this."

“Shen Yan, I don’t have a good mother like you.” Shen Nianzi paused, “Let’s not talk about that. Huang Xinyi’s father lost his job, and then Secretary Liu arranged for him to work at the company.”
