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

"But I can't be too harsh on him, since I still need him to support me."

So, Shen Yue patiently explained, "This is a deal between Chen Dong and me."

"Chen Dong will be responsible for picking me up and dropping me off from now on, but that's all."

"There's nothing more between us, don't overthink it."

"There's nothing I can do about it, so please don't ask so many questions."

Hu Yanghui was still skeptical after hearing Shen Yue's explanation.

I find it hard to believe that Shen Yue and Chen Dong haven't rekindled some of their previous relationship.

But he also knew that he had no other choice at the moment.

All I can do is keep brainwashing myself in my mind.

I kept telling myself, "Yes, that's it. It's just a transaction between them, nothing more."

"I still have a chance. I still have a chance to pursue Yueyue."

Because Hu Yanghui knew very well what was going on.

If he doesn't believe Shen Yue, then he won't have any chance to pursue her at all.

All my hard work over the years has been for nothing.

Hu Yanghui sat on the bicycle, looking lost and dejected, staring blankly ahead.

I don't know whether I should ride away or stay here and wait.

He seemed completely lost.

Not long after, the car horn sounded.

The beeping sound was particularly jarring in the now quiet school gate.

Hu Yanghui seemed to be awakened by the sound, and his body trembled violently.

He hurriedly rode his bicycle away from the spot, his back view still looking somewhat disheveled.

A small car that looked unremarkable slowly stopped in front of Shen Yue.

It stopped where Hu Yanghui had just been.

A satisfied smile appeared on Shen Yue's face.

But soon, a hint of resentment towards Chen Dong flashed across that smile.

Because this pick-up and drop-off service is different from before.

It was something I achieved at a huge cost.

The driver got out of the car and opened the door for Shen Yue, politely saying, "Miss Shen Yue, please get in the car."

Shen Yue nodded, still with an arrogant expression, and got into the car, sitting in the back seat.

When she saw Chen Dong in the car, she was slightly taken aback.

She looked at Chen Dong, hesitating whether or not to speak to him.

The driver closed the car door, returned to the driver's seat, and then drove towards Shen Yue's house.

At the school gate, Hu Yanghui watched Shen Yue get into the car and drive away, looking utterly dejected.

He felt like a clown being mocked.

In this game of love, he was always the loser.

.......

The car slowly drove into Shen Yue's village.

The roar of the engine sounded particularly jarring on the quiet country road.

Hearing the noise, the villagers peeked out from their yards to look around.

When they recognized the familiar car, the crowd erupted in excitement.

A chorus of surprised exclamations arose.

"Isn't this Shen Yue's boyfriend's car? I've seen it often before."

An older woman, holding a needle and thread, looked puzzled and said...

"It seems so. I haven't seen it for almost a month now."

"I almost didn't recognize her at first. I thought this girl's good thing had fallen through."

An older man puffed on his pipe and chimed in.

"I thought Shen Yue had been dumped by this rich guy, but it turns out she hasn't!"

"The Shen family has really hit the jackpot."

A young woman spoke with envy, a hint of jealousy in her eyes.

The car kicked up a little dust as it drove along, and finally came to a steady stop in front of Shen Yue's house.

Upon hearing the sound of the car, Shen Yue's mother, Jia Fang, and father, Shen Changgui, reacted.

There is also a younger sister, Shen Hualing, and a older brother, Shen Jiankang.

As if they had heard a whistle to assemble, they quickly came out of the house.

Their faces were filled with surprise, their eyes fixed on the car.

People came to see Shen Yue rather than to see her; they came to see the spectacle.

In this village, most people love to watch the excitement. They were full of curiosity as they watched the man who hadn't taken Shen Yue home for several weeks ride his bicycle into the village.

Jia Fang was stunned for a moment.

The driver got out of the car and quickly walked to the back door.

He very politely opened the car door for Shen Yue himself.

He bowed slightly and said, "Miss Shen, we've arrived. Please get out of the car."

A smug and vain smile instantly bloomed on Jia Fang's face.

That smile almost burst out of her face.

Shen Yue stepped out of the car slowly, her face bearing an aloof expression.

As always, it was as if there was no conflict between Shen Yue and Chen Dong at all.

Chen Dong was still as obsequious to Shen Yue as ever.

Jia Fang stepped forward, took her daughter Shen Yue's hand, and looked at her with concern.

She kept asking, "Yueyue, are you tired? Are you thirsty? Come inside with Mom and rest for a bit."

In the past, if Shen Yue had been treated like this by her mother, she might have accepted it without feeling guilty.

But now, she understands it perfectly.

She knew that her mother's attentiveness was entirely due to her relationship with Chen Dong.

And the potential benefits Chen Dong might bring to the family.

Shen Yue maintained her calm and aloof demeanor on the surface, as if nothing had happened.

But deep down, she was lamenting why she was born into such a poor and vain family.

Neighbor Aunt Zhang stepped forward.

With a beaming smile, he said to Jia Fang, "Oh, Jia Fang, your Yueyue is so lucky."

"With such a wealthy partner, your family is set to enjoy a life of luxury from now on."

Grandpa Wang nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right, that's right, being picked up and dropped off in a car, how glamorous!"

"I think the Shen family is about to prosper."

"Don't forget about us neighbors when the time comes!"

Grandma Li leaned on her cane, her eyes narrowed to slits: "Yueyue is such a lucky child."

"If you're pretty, you can find a good family to marry into."

"From now on, I'll definitely have everything I want."

Brother Zhao chuckled and joked, "Brother Shen, you're going to benefit from your daughter's good fortune for the rest of your life."

"Maybe before long, your family will be able to build a big house."

Just then, Chen Dong got out of the car.

Jia Fang looked at her as if she had seen a rare treasure and immediately ignored her daughter.

He greeted Chen Dong with great enthusiasm: "Chen Dong, come in and have a seat, have some water before you leave."

"It's terribly hot today, don't overwork yourself."

Chen Dong acted as if he hadn't heard anything and went straight to the trunk of the car.

Open the box and take out a bag of rice and a bucket of oil.

Then, with a blank expression, he handed the item to Shen Yue.

Shen Yue quickly looked at her father.

Shen Changgui and Jia Fang immediately stepped forward and took the items from Chen Dong's hands.

Jia Fang even had a satisfied smile on her face as she spoke hypocritical words.

"Oh dear, this is too much of a waste, I can't accept this."

They ignored Jia Fang and Shen Changgui.

Chen Dong looked at Shen Yue and said coldly, "These are this month's items. I have other things to do, so I'll be leaving now."
