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

Chapter 91 It's been a long time since I've seen him

"Let's eat, it won't taste good if it gets cold." She took a bite and smiled, "It really does taste the same as before."

I didn't ask any further questions.

She'll speak when she's ready.

"Mom, let me take you to buy some things in a bit," I said. "You'll need them tonight."

She nodded.

After we finished eating the wontons, I drove her to a shopping mall.

I took her to buy daily necessities and a change of clothes.

After we finished shopping, we carried our things and prepared to go home.

Unexpectedly, Shen Yuan rushed over, and when he saw my mother, he was completely stunned.

In the past five years, although my mother suffered a serious illness, with my careful care, she not only did not age, but actually became younger.

Standing next to me, she looks more like my older sister.

A look of amazement flashed in Shen Yuan's eyes, along with a hint of nauseating greed.

"Han Li, it really is you!" Shen Yuan was very excited: "They all said you were dead, but I knew you would be alright. I didn't expect you to look so youthful after five years."

"How did you know we were here?" My mother's voice was icy.

"Shen Hai saw you." Shen Yuan stepped forward: "Have you finished shopping? Shall I take you back?"

"No need." My mother didn't want to pay any attention to him at all: "You and I are divorced, there's no point in having anything to do with each other."

"Han Li, why are you still so heartless?" Shen Yuan has aged a lot over the years, his hair has thinned, and more importantly, he, who has always been very particular about his figure, has started to gain weight and his belly has started to protrude.

He no longer possesses the refined and mature demeanor he had five years ago; instead, he exudes a greasy air.

"I'm not as heartless as you." My mother sneered, "You wouldn't even spare your own daughter, helping them harm her. Are you even human?"

Shen Yuan glanced at me: "Why don't you ask her how she spoke to me when we first met?"

"You've wronged Yan Yan, and you still expect her to speak nicely to you? Do you deserve it?" My mother looked at him with utter disgust. "Let me tell you, we're strangers now. If you dare harass me again, I'll call the police!"

Seeing that my mother didn't appreciate it, Shen Yuan was a little angry: "Han Li, do you think you're still a little girl? Don't you know how old you are? When Shen Yan and Gu Heng get married in the future, you'll be all alone. You won't even have anyone to keep you company. Aren't you lonely?"

"You want to get back together with me?" My mom frowned.

"Han Li, we are already blessed. Besides, the person I've loved all these years has always been you. My relationship with Secretary Liu was just an accident." Shen Yuan explained quietly, "Tell me, besides me, who else would want you? Let's stop arguing and remarry tomorrow. What do you think?"

"Shen Yuan, why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror? I feel disgusted just looking at you now." My mother was furious. "I'd rather die than get back together with you! Don't even dream about it!"

My mom grabbed my hand and we left.

Shen Yuan stepped forward: "Han Li, don't be stubborn and ask for trouble. Don't you think about how Gu Heng has taken a liking to Shen Yan? If Shen Yan wants to marry into the Gu family, can she do it without our help? You've already ruined your daughter's life because of the college entrance exam, you can't ruin her marriage too."

"Pah!" my mother retorted angrily. "Who does Gu Heng think he is? My daughter would never marry him. You're the one who wants to use my daughter to gain wealth and status. I'm not like you!"

"Mom, don't waste your breath on him." I pulled my mom away.

"Han Li, don't make the wrong decision. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Shen Yuan threatened coldly, "You have no choice but to remarry me. Don't forget, this is Xinjing City."

My mom didn't finish her sentence.

Back at the villa on Wuwang Mountain.

My mom comforted me: "Yan Yan, he must be crazy right now. The Shen Group has been having problems frequently. Now they are not only short of funds, but they have also failed in their company transformation. I have to say that Gu Heng is indeed very capable and can make the Gu Group bigger. Shen Yuan just can't bear to let this piece of fat fall into someone else's mouth."

"Mom, you don't know," I explained, "I almost sent Gu Heng's mother to prison today."

My mom was shocked.

“Gu Heng holds a grudge against me, so how could he possibly marry me?” I sneered. “Shen Yuan’s daydreams are over.”

“As long as Gu Heng refuses, then there’s nothing to worry about.” My mother breathed a sigh of relief: “This is Xinjing City after all; we can’t easily offend these prestigious families.”

"Mom, I'm not afraid." I led her into the villa.

She was very satisfied with everything in the villa.

I arranged a room for her to rest on the second floor, while I stayed on the third floor.

-

The weather is nice today.

Although the temperature was a bit low, it was indeed a sunny day.

Early winter in Xinjing City has a unique charm.

Mu Xi will be moving in today.

She is tidying up her things at home.

My mom really likes this traditional Chinese courtyard.

She plans to create a flower bed in a corner and plant some of her favorite flowers and plants.

"Aunt Han, it's been a long time." Huo Yubai appeared in the yard at some point.

My mom exclaimed in surprise, "You are...!"

"Huo Yubai." He walked over. "I'm Shen Yan's classmate. We've met before."

"I know," my mom said awkwardly. "I know you too well. What are you doing here?"

“I live over there.” Huo Yubai pointed to a villa not far away: “We’ll be neighbors from now on.”

My mother was taken aback.

Neighbor?

I saw Huo Yubai in the study and immediately came down from the third floor.

"What are you doing in my house?" I walked over.

"I just moved back to my own home today." Huo Yubai explained with a half-smile, "I just happened to be driving by and saw you, Auntie. So when you told me you were moving, you meant you moved here."

"How come every house of yours is my neighbor?" I frowned deeply.

"The Huo Group started in real estate. A third of the houses in Xinjing City were built by the Huo Group. It's not surprising that I own several properties, is it?" Huo Yubai's eyebrows were full of heroic spirit: "It can only be said that the places you chose are good."

"Hehe, thank you for the compliment." I was truly speechless.

"Yubai, how is your brother Yushen?" my mother suddenly asked.

Huo Yubai's dark eyes deepened.

I didn't expect my mom to ask that question directly.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen him,” my mom said with a smile.

"He...is very busy," Huo Yubai replied meaningfully.

"Oh." My mom nodded.

"Mom, it's cold outside, please come inside." I urged, "You can't catch a cold."

"Yubai, would you like to come in and have some food?" My mother turned to look at Huo Yubai: "Today is our housewarming celebration, it's lively with many people."

"Okay." Huo Yubai walked over. "Then I'll take my leave."

My mom smiled, turned around and went inside.

"Huo Yubai, you really didn't follow me on purpose?" I frowned.
