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

Chapter Ninety-Three: What a coincidence!

I composed myself and said, "I wasn't targeting you."

"I know." Huo Yubai paused. "Are you really going to cooperate with Gu Heng?"

"What else can I do?" I sighed.

"Does your mother have some unspeakable problem?" Huo Yubai's dark eyes narrowed slightly. "Do you need me to help you solve it?"

“My mom agreed to it, but she didn’t want too many people to know about it.” I explained, “She’s scared, and I don’t want to put her in a difficult position. She’s my only family member, and I don’t want anything to happen to her. Since she’s so reluctant to talk about it, I won’t ask anymore.”

"How about I join this collaboration?" Huo Yubai looked at me meaningfully. "I don't think Auntie said any third-party involvement was forbidden, right?"

"It's not impossible." I thought for a moment: "After all, this isn't a small collaboration."

“With the two of us and him, all three of us are involved, so he can't threaten you anymore.” Huo Yubai was helping me out of the crisis.

"Good idea," I agreed. "So, how much are you willing to pay?"

"Go ask Gu Heng first. I'm definitely ahead of him. That way, I'll have the most shares. Plus your technology shares and patent shares, we can definitely suppress him and prevent him from causing trouble." Huo Yubai had come up with a plan.

"Okay." I nodded. "I'll do as you say."

Huo Yubai's deep black pupils warmed noticeably: "Yes, it's getting late, I'll be going now."

"Since we live so close, I won't see you off," I said lazily.

He smiled, then turned and left.

I closed the door.

I turned around and saw Mu Xi looking at me with a grin.

"Didn't you go to sleep?"

"What's going on with his brother?" Mu Xi asked me curiously.

I pursed my lips: "His older brother used to tutor me."

"And then?" Mu Xi sensed a hint of gossip in his voice.

I don't know how much Mu Xi heard.

"We've held hands, hugged, and he's kissed you." Mu Xi exclaimed excitedly, "Baby, what else don't I know about you?"

I smiled helplessly and had no choice but to tell the whole story.

"So I've been wrong all along. You don't like Huo Yubai, but his brother Huo Yushen?" Mu Xi suddenly realized: "Then wouldn't it be very awkward for me to keep trying to match you two up?"

"You're only just finding out?" I sighed.

"I didn't know any of this either." Mu Xi said apologetically, "No wonder Huo Yubai treats you so differently. It turns out that you almost became his sister-in-law and he almost became your brother-in-law."

“Xixi, the reason I didn’t tell you back then was because Huo Yubai didn’t want anyone to know he had an older brother.” I paused for a moment: “From now on, don’t mention this person to anyone. Just pretend he doesn’t exist.”

"I know." Mu Xi said with heartache, "Don't worry, I will never tell anyone about you and Huo Yushen. But he's such a jerk. He hurt you so much. Now he has a wife and kids and a warm bed, but he doesn't even think about the harm he caused you."

I said, "All of that is in the past. Compared to the harm Gu Heng caused me, what are these?"

Mu Xi doesn't know that I was reborn.

I suffered far more pain in my past life than this.

Mu Xi rolled her eyes. She had been married to Huo Xiao for several years. Although she was from a branch of Huo Xiao's family, she would visit the Huo family during festivals. She had never heard of Huo Yushen in the Huo family.

Could it be that the Huo family deliberately hid him?

something wrong.

-

Early in the morning.

I heard my mom cursing.

"That bastard Shen Yuan, he's shameless, that treacherous and cunning little man!" My mother has always had a very good temper over the years.

Because getting angry will affect her recovery.

She can control herself.

I didn't expect it to erupt today.

I ran out in my pajamas and came downstairs: "Mom, what's wrong?"

"That old bastard Shen Yuan actually confessed his love to me on Weibo, it's disgusting!" My mom rolled her eyes, her suspicion overflowing.

I'm speechless.

Mu Xi showed me her phone and joked, "This confession is so cheesy, haha."

I glanced at it: "My dear Lily..."

I feel like throwing up.

I didn't read the rest.

I understand my mom's anger when I suddenly get stuck to a pile of dog poop.

"Mom, I'll have someone ban his Weibo account," I said.

"No need." My mom took a deep breath: "Just wait and see how I deal with him!"

My mom posted it on Weibo.

Only two words.

"Dog shit".

Mu Xi and I both laughed.

Shen Yuan immediately replied: Seeing your reply, I knew you wanted to get back together with me, my Li, I love you.

My mom was so angry she wanted to smash her phone.

I stopped him: "Mom, that's just how he is. The more you pay attention to him, the more smug he gets. Just ignore him."

“Yes, Auntie, I understand you. My ex-husband was just as much of a scoundrel. The reason I moved in with you is because I couldn’t stand him.” Mu Xi explained, “The more you pay attention to him, the more he gets into trouble.”

“Next time I see him, I’ll spit on him!” my mother said angrily.

"Mom, don't be angry anymore. Go take your medicine, or you'll have a headache later," I advised.

"Okay." My mom obediently went upstairs.

I looked at Mu Xi: "Is Huo Xiao still harassing you?"

Mu Xi puffed out her cheeks: "Anyway, the day I moved in, he even sent someone to deliver flowers to me."

Although his name wasn't written down, Mu Xi knew it was him.

"I'll urge Huo Yubai," I said.

"It's alright, he doesn't dare to show his face now, I'm already very satisfied." Mu Xi smiled.

"We still can't be careless." I also really dislike Huo Xiao.

But with Huo Yi protecting him, there was nothing he could do.

I need to go to work.

Mu Xi was still lazy and listless.

"You don't go to work?" I asked, surprised.

"I'm my own boss, I can come and go as I please," Mu Xi shrugged.

"Let's not be friends in our next life," I said enviously.

"How about this, you quit your job, and I'll support you," Mu Xi said with a grin.

“Then try harder. Once you have a hundred small goals, I’ll quit my job immediately,” I said with a smile.

Mu Xi pouted: "Then you think too highly of me."

She also wants to accumulate a hundred small goals.

Unfortunately, I cannot do it.

I went out with my bag on my back.

I just got on the bus.

Huo Yubai's Cayenne was parked at the entrance.

I looked in the direction he came from.

That direction is on higher ground.

The real estate company said that the houses there are more expensive and are not for sale to the public.

It turns out that the Huo family kept the place for themselves.

Huo Yubai called.

"What is it?" I answered.

“I’ll go to the Gu Group with you. Get in my car,” Huo Yubai said.

“I have a car, I’m not going,” I refused.

"I'll give you a ride after we leave the Gu Group building," Huo Yubai said casually. "Pick-up and drop-off included."

Just as I was about to refuse, the driver came over and said, "Professor Shen, it seems your tires are flat."

what?

I got off the bus.

Sure enough, the rear tire went flat.

The driver was arranged for my mother.

She is unable to drive.

Even if it can be opened, I wouldn't feel at ease.

Huo Yubai got out of the car and walked over. "Looks like you'll have to ride in my car."

I frowned.

How could it be such a coincidence?
