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

Stay far away from me after Chapter 48

"Yan Yan, you've become so amazing!" Mu Xi said with admiration.

"I guess so," I smiled. "Which room will I be sleeping in?"

"This one." Mu Xi led me to the second bedroom: "The second bedroom is about the same size as the master bedroom, and the lighting is also good."

“It’s pretty good.” I looked me up and down. “When I was in Kunming, I sometimes slept in places that weren’t as nice as this.”

"Yan Yan, what exactly were you doing before?" Mu Xi asked curiously.

"I need to learn how to farm," I thought for a moment.

After all, we have indeed been doing this all these years.

Mu Xi looked surprised.

"Alright, it's too late, go to sleep," I told her.

"Okay, I'm going to sleep now. You should get some rest too. Goodnight." Mu Xi turned and left.

I closed the door and let out a long sigh of relief.

Xia Zhe called.

"The hotel staff told me you checked out?" Xia Zhe asked in surprise.

"Yes, Mu Xi asked me to live with her." I replied, "Keep an eye on the housing situation, since we'll be bringing my mom over later."

“Okay.” Xia Zhe paused. “For the past five years, I’ve been helping your mother manage the company. Now that you’re back, I should hand the company over to you.”

“Xia Zhe, I am very grateful for your contributions to the company over the past five years, so I don’t plan to take back the company. You only need to keep the original shares left by my mother, and the rest are yours,” I explained.

“I can’t accept it.” Xia Zhe said resolutely, “Without President Han, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Helping President Han manage the company is something I do willingly.”

“Why not? Even if my mother recovers, she won’t be able to continue running the company.” I said calmly, “I don’t have the time or energy to manage it either, so I can only rely on you.”

Xia Zhe frowned slightly: "Then I'll take care of it for you for now, and we'll talk about it when you have time."

"Alright." I pinched the bridge of my nose. "How's it going with my question about the Gu family?"

"I've compiled a detailed report, and I'll send it to you now." Xia Zhe's efficiency remained high.

"Okay." I nodded. "Then I'll hang up now."

"Ok."

I hung up the phone and looked at the information Xia Zhe had sent me.

It turns out that Gu Heng only recently rose to power.

I heard that as an illegitimate child, he initially had a hard time getting by in the Gu family. Zhao Baixue helped him a lot, and later the two got together.

Later, Zhao Baixue's family offended a certain clan and went bankrupt within a month.

Zhao Baixue's father is still in prison, and her mother has been hospitalized.

After the Zhao family went bankrupt, Zhao Baixue entered the entertainment industry.

With Gu Heng backing her up, she had a smooth and successful career in the entertainment industry.

Their relationship has always been a topic of much discussion.

As for the other members of the Gu family, although Gu Heng holds great power, his father has not yet given all the shares to Gu Heng, seemingly in order to maintain a balance of power.

Given Gu Heng's vengeful nature, his father was probably terrified of being held accountable.

In short, it's good if there are flaws.

The night passed.

A north wind started blowing outside.

Late autumn in Xinjing City is very cold.

The streets were littered with fallen, withered yellow leaves, creating a desolate scene.

A teacher in the department was having a birthday party and invited Professor Laoshi, who was on campus, to his home.

I've never met him, but he still called to invite me over.

Before I even arrived in Xinjing City, this group of people were already talking behind my back to the principal. Their invitation to me this time is probably a way to give me a hard time.

Dai Chen'an didn't want me to go; he was afraid I would be bullied.

I find it funny; now I'm the one who bullies others, and no one can bully me.

When he saw that I insisted on going, he said on the phone that he would come too.

I couldn't refuse, so I bought a gift on the way and went to pick him up to go to the professor's house together.

The professor lived in a villa allocated by the university.

Although the villa is not large, it has a small banquet hall inside that can be used for banquets.

Dai Chen'an and I went into the villa.

"Shen Yan?" Liu Shengyan came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of fruit.

"What are you doing here?" I was also surprised.

Five years have passed, and Liu Shengyan has become even more mature.

At only twenty-three years old, he seems far too mature.

"Who are you?" At this moment, an elderly woman with slightly curly short hair walked over.

“Teacher Feng.” Dai Chen’an recognized him: “Don’t you recognize me? I’m Xiao Dai, the Xiao Dai who’s with Professor Ming.”

"Dai Chen'an." Teacher Feng recognized her: "You've come. And who is this little girl?"

“Teacher Feng, this is Shen Yan, Professor Shen,” Dai Chen’an said. “She is Professor Ming’s last disciple.”

"Oh, this is Xiao Shen. She's so beautiful." Teacher Feng said with delight, "I've heard of you. You're Professor Ming's handpicked successor. The principal gave you the green light all the way to become the principal of the school."

"You flatter me, Professor Feng," I said politely.

On the way here, Dai Chen'an mentioned to me that Professor Xu Zhen's wife, Teacher Feng, was a high school teacher. She had countless students, many of whom were at Tsinghua and Peking Universities. She served as the principal until her retirement.

"Come on, come on." Teacher Feng pulled me inside.

There were about ten people standing in the small banquet hall.

They were not young; they were all professors and teachers in the department.

They looked at me meaningfully.

"Old Xu, look at this, this is Professor Ming's successor, Shen Yan," Teacher Feng said with a smile.

Xu Zhen is a TCM expert second only to Professor Ming, but he and Professor Ming have never gotten along.

During a casual conversation, Professor Ming mentioned that Xu Zhen initially did not agree with traditional Chinese medicine.

Although he was trained in traditional Chinese medicine, he always believed that Western medicine was the correct approach.

Professor Ming has always believed that the best approach is to combine the strengths of both approaches to develop the optimal treatment plan for patients.

However, Xu Zhen disagreed with Professor Ming's words and relentlessly suppressed him in the workplace.

In the beginning, people like Professor Ming were suppressed, and Professor Ming didn't even have many friends at the school.

Fortunately, the situation changed later. Professor Ming began to receive attention, and he did achieve real results, which convinced everyone and led to his current reputation.

I will never embarrass him if I become his student.

"You're Shen Yan?" Xu Zhen looked me up and down.

I replied expressionlessly, "Thank you for the invitation; I've come to offer my congratulations."

Dai Chen'an presented the flowers and gifts she was carrying.

"Xiao Liu, answer this." Teacher Feng said to Liu Shengyan in a commanding tone.

Liu Shengyan put down the fruit and reached out to take it.

"Wait!" I stopped her. "Teacher Feng, you may not know this, but she is my half-sister. She is an illegitimate child, and we have never gotten along. I don't want this thing to get dirty."

Liu Shengyan looked at me awkwardly and angrily.

"We don't need to pretend anymore. I'm too lazy to give you face in public. Today I'm just telling you to stay far away from me from now on," I said disdainfully.
