Reborn not to be a simp, the school beauty's whole family goes crazy

"Stop beating around the bush, just tell me what exactly your trading volume is?!"

Chen Dong gave a helpless, bitter smile and shook his head gently.

His tone carried a hint of helplessness: "I can't say, at least not right now."

"Don't ask anymore. I'll tell you everything when I have the chance in the future."

"Just trust me now, why all the nonsense?"

Seeing Chen Dong's resolute refusal to talk, Guo Miao could only sigh.

Although he still didn't quite believe it, he understood that it was Chen Dong's own decision after all.

As my best friend, childhood friend, and brother, I really couldn't say anything more.

Guo Miao pursed his lips and muttered under his breath, "Fine, Dong-ge, I hope you really have your own plans. Don't you dare disappoint me!"

"Let's hope we don't fall into any more traps."

Chen Dong then looked at Shen Yue.

His facial expression became indifferent, devoid of any extraneous emotions.

Chen Dong calmly said, "Shen Yue, wait for me at or near the school gate."

"I forgot to tell my family this time, so I'll have to wait a while."

"But don't worry, since it's a transaction, I'll definitely pick you up and take you home later."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yue's eyes instantly welled up with tears.

She bit her lip, trying her best to look pitiful.

Shen Yue's voice still trembled with a sob as she said, "Chen Dong, you don't even want to call me Yueyue anymore?"

"We used to be so good together, you were so considerate to me, how come you've become so cold now?"

Have you forgotten all those things from the past?

Chen Dong sneered, his eyes filled with indifference.

He replied without hesitation, "I already said, this is just a transaction."

“Aside from the transaction, I have nothing to do with you.”

"The past is the past; we're just following the agreement now."

"Don't bring up the past anymore, it's pointless."

After saying that, Chen Dong turned around and called out to Guo Miao.

Then a gentle smile immediately appeared on his face.

Then Chen Dong said to Chu Mengran, "Mengran, let's go. I'll take you home on my bicycle first."

Chu Mengran was stunned for a moment, her eyes shifting back and forth between Chen Dong and Shen Yue.

Reason kept reminding her: "You should be more sensible at this time and refuse Chen Dong."

"Don't put him in a difficult position, after all, he and Shen Yue have that agreement."

However, emotionally, a strange feeling welled up uncontrollably in my heart.

It was a longing; she desperately wanted Chen Dong to take her home.

Especially in front of Shen Yue, as if this could prove something.

After hesitating for two seconds, Chu Mengran bit her thin lips lightly, as if she had made a great decision.

In the end, Chu Mengran nodded slightly and said softly, "Okay, let's go then."

Watching Chen Dong, Chu Mengran, and Guo Miao leave.

Shen Yue clenched her fists tightly, her teeth grinding together in anger.

Especially when he stared at Chu Mengran's back, his eyes seemed to spit fire.

The anger in his heart burned even brighter.

Shen Yue thought viciously to herself, "Hmph, Chu Mengran, what are you so smug about!"

"It's just that Chen Dong is taking you home now, but he'll have to take me home later too."

However, although she was furious, she didn't dare to cause trouble for Chu Mengran in front of Chen Dong.

He didn't even dare to cause trouble for Chu Mengran in the dormitory.

Because she knew very well what the consequences would be if she did that.

This could very well ruin her deal with Chen Dong.

This deal was originally intended for Tao Hao; it was her precious first transaction.

If we mess it up, we'll lose a lot of money.

So, she had to endure it no matter what.

Chen Dong rode his bicycle, with Chu Mengran sitting on the back.

A gentle breeze swept by, its soft touch like a pair of tender hands, gently lifting Chu Mengran's hair.

A few strands of hair fluttered in the wind, occasionally brushing against Chen Dong's cheek.

Chu Mengran unconsciously gripped Chen Dong's clothes, and her heart beat faster than usual.

I was a little nervous and a little shy.

Chen Dong could clearly sense Chu Mengran's nervousness, so he deliberately slowed down.

Chen Dong turned his head and said softly, "Mengran, sit still, don't fall."

"The road is a bit uneven, I'll ride slowly."

Chu Mengran hummed in agreement.

The voice was very soft, as if afraid that if it were even slightly louder, it would break the peaceful and beautiful atmosphere.

A slight blush rose to her cheeks, but she felt a warm glow in her heart.

A short while later, Chen Dong dropped Chu Mengran off at her apartment building.

Chen Dong parked his bicycle steadily, and then walked to the entrance of the building with Chu Mengran.

Just as Chu Mengran was about to go upstairs, Chen Dong called out to her.

"Mengran, wait a moment."

Chu Mengran turned around and asked with a puzzled look, "What's wrong, Chen Dong? Is there anything else?"

Chen Dong looked into Chu Mengran's eyes and explained earnestly again, "I really have nothing to do with Shen Yue."

"It's just that some of Shen Yue's family elders know my family elders, so sending her back was just a transaction."

"Please don't overthink it, and don't be upset."

Upon hearing this, Chu Mengran felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from her heart, and she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

A smile returned to his face.

Chu Mengran nodded gently and smiled, "Chen Dong, I know, you don't need to explain to me."

"At least, at least before we've defined our relationship."

"I have no right to interfere in these matters."

"I believe you have your own reasons."

Chen Dong smiled, looking at Chu Mengran with a hint of expectation mixed with a touch of caution in his eyes.

Chen Dong tentatively asked, "Meng Ran, when are you willing to define our relationship and become my girlfriend?"

Chu Mengran's face instantly turned as red as a ripe apple.

She quickly lowered her head, not daring to look Chen Dong in the eye.

He stammered, "No, I won't say anymore. You should go home early too."

"We'll talk about this later."

After saying that, Chu Mengran ran upstairs like a startled deer.

The figure from behind looked somewhat flustered.

Chen Dong watched Chu Mengran's departing figure, a doting smile appearing on his face.

He muttered to himself, "This girl is quite shy."

On his way home, Guo Miao rode his bicycle.

He pedaled hard a few times, caught up with Chen Dong, and then walked alongside him.

Guo Miao's expression was very serious, with his brows slightly furrowed.

He looked at Chen Dong and asked earnestly, "Brother Dong, are you really going to take Shen Yue home later?"

"I still feel a little uneasy, so please don't hide it from me."

Chen Dong explained helplessly, "You really shouldn't ask anymore. Just know that this is a deal between Shen Yue and me."
