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

Chapter Sixty-Two: He almost risked his life.

Mu Xi: "..."

“Three years ago, I treated a wealthy overseas businessman. Because I cured his long-standing ailment, he asked me to choose one of the shareholders in his household, and I chose this one,” I explained.

"My God, is there really such a good thing?" Mu Xi exclaimed in surprise.

"Actually, this screen was originally priced at fifty million, but some publicity was done to promote it for this auction." I smiled casually, "Originally, I wanted to scam a big fish, but since you need it, take it."

"So that's why the owners of the auctioned items were all anonymous." Mu Xi suddenly realized, "Ah, I suddenly regret it so much. I should have let Huo Xiao win the bid and ripped him off."

“Scamming him only costs a few hundred million. If you use the money to do favors, the future returns will definitely be much more than that,” I comforted him.

"You're right, we need to have a long-term perspective. Anyway, thank you!" Mu Xi opened the door.

"Well, it's getting late. You should get some rest. I'll pick you up from the hospital the day after tomorrow," I said.

"You should go home early too." Mu Xi hung up the phone.

I stood at the doorway.

Waiting for the bus.

"I'll take you." Gu Heng walked over.

"Why should you give me a ride?" I glanced at him. "If I get in your car, I'm really worried that Zhao Baixue will stop at nothing to write a few articles to smear me. I'm just a small university professor, I can't handle that."

Gu Heng sensed my sarcasm: "She doesn't have that ability."

"So you admit that you're the one who's been sending Zhao Baixue's subordinates away one by one all these years?" I looked at him coldly.

The sunny young man I once thought of was actually a cruel and cunning person.

That's the most ironic thing.

"Who are you talking about?" Gu Heng asked, puzzled.

"Have you dealt with too many people and forgotten them all?" I looked at him coldly. "Gu Heng, don't you know how sinful you are? You hurt so many people for Zhao Baixue, and now you say you two have nothing to do with each other? If I were Zhao Baixue, I would be in a daze. If you don't acknowledge your relationship, why did you do so much?"

Gu Heng paused for a moment: "Because at that time she was still the daughter of the Zhao family."

I sneered: "Because she still had any use to you back then?"

"Yes." Gu Heng looked at me coldly: "Shen Yan, who do you think taught me these things? It was all your good father."

Shen Yuan?

He too was deeply sinful.

"I liked you back then, but when he appeared, he first told me how different we were from each other, and then he used money to blackmail me. It was because of him that I learned that with money you can do what you want and achieve what you want." A ruthless glint flashed in Gu Heng's eyes, and a silent, sinister aura fell upon him.

"Since he taught you that, why don't you go after him?" I questioned. "Since you hate this kind of thing so much, why do you use it on others? Gu Heng, do not do to others what you would not have them do to you. Don't you understand this principle?"

"You're wrong. It's precisely because I know this that I have to do this, so that they won't dare to threaten me again." Gu Heng's expression grew increasingly cold.

He seems to have become obsessed.

"Then think whatever you want, I'm too lazy to argue with you." I walked down the steps.

The car is almost here.

Gu Heng suddenly grabbed my hand, his handsome face full of urgency: "Shen Yan, give me another chance. I don't care about those people, I only care about you."

Five years later, hearing him say that only made me feel disgusted.

On the surface, I remained calm: "Gu Heng, although I, Shen Yan, am just an ordinary person, I am not someone you can easily win over. You think you can win me over with just words?"

Gu Heng thought he still had hope: "Then what do you want? I can give you anything."

"I want you dead." I gritted my teeth.

I haven't forgotten the grudges from my past life.

He really thought I still liked him.

He froze.

The car is coming.

I pulled my hand away, turned around, and got into the car.

Xia Zhe came to pick me up in person.

He saw Gu Heng pulling and tugging at me and asked worriedly, "Are you alright?"

"It's nothing, the fish just took the bait," I said.

"Does Gu Heng still think he has a chance?" Xia Zhe asked, puzzled.

“If I speak to him softly, he probably won’t believe me. But the harsher I am, the more he thinks I’m playing hard to get.” I closed my eyes. “Five years ago, I wasn’t sure, but after struggling in the mud for five years, both Gu Heng and I have changed our mindset. Now Gu Heng is the center of attention, even Zhao Baixue bows to him, but he thinks they are all hypocritical. As for me, because of a relationship that ended without a trace, I’m full of resentment towards him. He thinks this relationship is real, and he doesn’t need to analyze whether I’m using him, so he doesn’t suspect me.”

After hearing my explanation, Xia Zhe said, "As expected, the longest road Gu Heng has ever walked is the road of your schemes."

“He deserves it,” I replied quietly.

Xia Zhe dropped me off at my doorstep, but left without going inside.

I was just about to go upstairs when my phone rang.

"Hello?" I answered the phone.

"Shen Yan, my heart hurts a little," Huo Yubai's deep, hoarse voice came.

There was indeed a hint of pain in his words.

I initially wanted him to call an ambulance, but then I thought, I'm his attending physician now.

"Are you home?" I asked.

"I just came in," Huo Yubai replied.

"Tell me your detailed address, and I'll come over right away," I said calmly.

Huo Yubai gave an address.

I went home to get my things, and then went straight to his house.

We arrived at his doorstep.

The door was slightly ajar.

I went inside.

Huo Yubai sat back on the sofa, the top two buttons of his shirt undone, revealing his long neck and faintly visible collarbone. His handsome and noble face was slightly flushed, and he appeared to be in an uncomfortable state.

I walked over and smelled a faint scent of alcohol.

"You've been drinking?" I frowned. "Didn't you read the doctor's instructions? Didn't they tell you not to drink alcohol?"

"In an occasion like today, someone was bound to toast me, and I had no choice but to drink." Huo Yubai's deep, magnetic voice carried a hint of grievance and helplessness: "I won't drink next time."

Huo Yi was standing at the door at some point, holding a hangover cure in his hand.

He felt that Huo Yubai was a born liar!

Who would dare to force him to drink nowadays?

He didn't want to drink it, and no one dared to force him to.

It was clearly Gu Heng who chased after them.

Seeing that the situation was not right, he picked up his wine glass and drank it.

In fact, Huo Yi had reminded him to take good care of his health recently.

After all, his body had not yet recovered.

But he just wouldn't listen.

Now Huo Yi understood that Huo Yubai's actions were a ruse.

He was willing to risk his life for a woman.

What a madman.
