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

Chapter 40: They actually punished me with my daughter's entire life!

To prevent Lao Shen from causing me trouble, my mom told me to stay home and not go out.

It wasn't until the day I filled out my college application that my mom personally drove me to the school gate.

She even hired four bodyguards to protect me; it was quite a big entourage.

"Mom, this is way too much!" I said, both amused and exasperated.

"You can't be too careful, today is the most important day for you." My mom looked around suspiciously: "That bastard Shen Yuan is definitely up to no good!"

I knew my mom was worried, so I didn't say anything more.

She walked me into the school.

The way people looked at me changed.

"Shen Yan, you've arrived." The principal personally greeted her.

I never received this kind of treatment before.

"Principal," I greeted him awkwardly.

"Shen Yan's mother is here too. Come on, let's sit in my office." The principal said with a smile.

My mother smiled and said, "Principal, Yan Yan's college application is the most important thing. I've already called Yan Yan's homeroom teacher. We don't have much time, so we won't go."

The principal paused for a moment, then said, "Shen Yan, why don't you reconsider? Your scores are definitely high enough to get into Tsinghua or Peking University."

“Principal, everyone has their own ambitions, so please don’t try to persuade me.” I said firmly, “If Tsinghua and Peking University are truly my aspirations, I don’t need you to persuade me at all.”

The principal sighed, "Alright then."

My mom brought me to the computer room.

Almost all of my classmates were there.

"Yan Yan!" Mu Xi was also there.

I walked over.

"I've already registered. You can use mine." Mu Xi stood up.

I nodded.

"Shen Yan." Gu Heng walked over. "Aren't you going to Tsinghua or Peking University?"

"I'm not going," I said coldly.

People around me looked surprised when they heard that I wasn't going to Tsinghua or Peking University.

"You scored 701 on the exam, aren't you going to Tsinghua or Peking University?" Gu Heng frowned. "Don't you want to be in the same school as me?"

"Gu Heng, who do you think you are? For you?" I laughed sarcastically. "For you, I wouldn't be where I am today. I was blind to like you back then. It's one thing that you ignored my feelings, but you took advantage of them, hurt me, and even mocked me. I still remember all of that. How could I possibly work hard for someone like you? I'm doing this for myself. You think too highly of yourself."

Gu Heng's face was pale.

"Gu Heng, did you hear that? Shen Yan hasn't liked you for a long time." Mu Xi blocked Gu Heng, letting me focus on choosing my university major: "Now you're the one clinging to Shen Yan. How come you've fallen for her and found yourself unable to live without her?"

Everyone wore expressions of schadenfreude.

My mother stood at the door, arms crossed, looking worried.

"Yes, I've realized I've fallen for her." Gu Heng's gaze remained fixed on my profile; perhaps this was the first time he had looked at me so intently.

He might discover that my coldness towards him wasn't feigned.

It's not some kind of feigned indifference, nor is it a change of strategy; it's simply that I genuinely no longer care about him as a person.

"Shen Yan, you've fallen for Huo Yubai, haven't you?" Gu Heng said in a deep voice.

Everyone was surprised.

Although my relationship with Huo Yubai seemed different, no one thought so because Huo Yubai didn't come to school much afterward.

But Gu Heng's words aroused everyone's curiosity.

I'm curious about my relationship with Huo Yubai.

I sneered: "Do I need to report to you who I like? Gu Heng, what are you hiding from everyone this time? Zhao Baixue said that you and I are not from the same world, and that you two are the same kind of people. I'm wondering why Zhao Baixue would say something like that about a poor student like you?"

Gu Heng's handsome face turned extremely gloomy.

"Don't worry, I know nothing about your identity, and of course, I don't care to know." I had already filled out my college application, and then I stood up: "Gu Heng, the college entrance exam is over, and we will never see each other again. Let's go our separate ways and not bother each other. I would also like to say a few words to everyone: please don't invite me to any classmate reunions in the future, and don't bother me. After all, I haven't forgotten the ridicule you all gave me."

Everyone looked ugly.

I maintained a cool and aloof demeanor and pulled Mu Xi away.

Mu Xi exclaimed excitedly, "Shen Yan, what you said just now was so good! I thought..."

"Do you think I'd laugh at these people who bullied me? Do they deserve it?" I said coldly. "When I finally succeed, I'll make them remember forever that they were all involved in this bullying. Just because they didn't do anything doesn't mean they're innocent. Their loud laughter was an insult!"

I will never forget these things.

If I hadn't stood up for myself now, they would have bullied me just like they did in my past life.

If it weren't for Mu Xi in this class, I'm afraid I would be having a really tough time.

After leaving the school, I didn't look back even once.

My connection with this place is completely severed.

I just stepped out of the school gate.

Old Shen walked over.

Seeing that I came from a school, he hurriedly asked, "Where did you apply?"

I ignored him.

"Han Li, you're really ruthless! You hate me for cheating, but you're punishing me with your daughter's entire life!" Old Shen roared.

"Shen Yuan, if you're out of your mind, go see a doctor. You cheated on your husband and broke up a family, and you still have the nerve to complain?" My mother said angrily. "If you care about your daughter so much, you shouldn't have cheated on her. What are you being hypocritical about now? It's just because your daughter did well on her exams, and you want to show off to her."

"Didn't you brag about it? Didn't you post it on your WeChat Moments?" Mentioning this only made Lao Shen angrier: "And now you've even blocked me!"

“A decent ex is like someone who’s dead. You’re long gone from my life, so why would I keep you around?” my mom said dismissively.

"Mom, don't argue with him." I stood in front of Shen Yuan: "Shen Yuan, I'm eighteen years old. I'm an adult, not a child. I have my own judgment and I know who is really looking out for me. When you and your mistress's illegitimate daughter were scheming against and bullying me at school, you didn't say a word. After she finally transferred schools, you transferred her back and even put her in my class. Do you think you deserve to say you're looking out for me?"

There were a lot of people filling out college applications today, including students and parents, but not many official media outlets or social media accounts.

Today, Shen Yuan tried to ruin my mother's reputation, how could I let him have his way?

In his worldview, I am still that immature, immature child.

He has no idea what kind of person I am now.

He had no idea how long I had been waiting for this day.

“I cheated on you because your mother was too domineering,” Shen Yuan accused. “All she knows is having children and spending money.”

My mother glared at her angrily: "Shen Yuan, have you lost your mind? I started this company with you. Don't forget that the start-up capital was all my dowry!"
