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

"We have something very important to tell your daughter, Chu Mengran."

Meng Zhengguo trembled slightly and quickly waved his hand, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about? I don't have any daughter. I don't even have a wife."

"How could this be! Uncle, you're not joking with us."

Hu Yanghui simply didn't believe it.

Then Hu Yanghui, Zhao Gang, and Li Qiang didn't give Meng Zhengguo a chance to speak.

The three of them, one after another, told Meng Zhengguo about Chen Dong's two-timing, having affairs with both Shen Yue and Chu Mengran at the same time.

They described it vividly, even swearing that they saw it with their own eyes.

The gatekeeper listened from the side and was quite surprised.

He shook his head, saying incredulously, "Chen Dong seems like a very honest kid, how could this be? I think you've made a mistake."

Meanwhile, in Meng Zheng's living room, a beautiful woman, dressed in a very flamboyant manner, was sitting on the sofa.

She heard the commotion outside and came out.

She angrily questioned Meng Zhengguo, "Meng Zhengguo, you have a wife, why are you still flirting with me? What exactly do you want?"

As she spoke, she kept patting Meng Zhengguo.

Meng Zhengguo quickly explained, "Honey, don't listen to their nonsense. I don't have a wife or daughter at all."

"They're just a few ignorant students talking nonsense."

This scene left not only Hu Yanghui, Zhao Gang, and Li Qiang speechless.

Even the gatekeeper was the same.

They never expected things to turn out this way.

In an attempt to prove himself to his new girlfriend, Meng Zhengguo's face darkened, and he grabbed a broom and began beating Hu Yanghui, Zhao Gang, and Li Qiang.

He hit and cursed at the same time: "You little brats, how dare you talk nonsense? I'll teach you a lesson."

Hu Yanghui, Zhao Gang, and Li Qiang hurriedly ran away, completely unaware of what was happening.

They cried out in panic, "Uncle, we were wrong, please stop hitting us!"

Meng Zhengguo chased after them relentlessly, all the way to the entrance of the residential area.

Hu Yanghui and his team were panting heavily from running, and almost collapsed on the ground from exhaustion.

After they left, the pretty woman asked the gatekeeper, "Sir, what exactly happened? Was what they said true?"

The gatekeeper shook his head and replied, "I'm just an ordinary gatekeeper. You should ask Meng Zhengguo about this. I don't know anything about it."

With that, the gatekeeper shook his head and left.

The beautiful woman was left standing there, her face full of confusion and dissatisfaction.

A few days later, in the morning in Sanxi Village.

The morning light filtered through the dappled leaves, scattering like tiny pieces of gold onto the old window of Shen Yue's bedroom.

Shen Yue sat listlessly on the edge of the bed, her eyes vacant as if they were a stagnant pool, her heart filled with boredom and frustration.

Her thoughts were like a runaway projector, her mind replaying those glamorous days of the past like a movie.

“In the past, whenever there was a long school holiday, Chen Dong would always try his best to make me happy.”

Shen Yue tilted her head slightly, her eyes shining with a hint of reminiscence.

He muttered to himself, "He would personally bring all sorts of snacks to please me; those little snacks were exquisite and delicious."

"Imported chocolates, fruit hard candies coated in sparkling sugar, and potato chips with all sorts of novel flavors—just looking at them makes your mouth water."

"Sometimes, he would even drive the family's bus and take me to the city for fun."

“Every weekend, I can go shopping at the mall like a princess, wandering between various brand stores and buying the clothes and accessories I like as I please.”

"During the holidays, we'll also go see the latest movies together in a comfortable air-conditioned room."

"Holding sweet popcorn in our hands, we enjoy a moment that belongs only to the two of us."

As Shen Yue spoke, a smile unconsciously crept onto her lips.

That smile was full of sweet nostalgia for the past.

But soon, the cold winds of reality blew, and that smile vanished without a trace, replaced by a deep sense of loss.

As if all her vitality had been drained away, Shen Yue fell into a state of despondency once again.

Now, three days have passed, and Shen Yue is starting to miss Chen Dong again.

However, she knew perfectly well that this longing was more a yearning for the comfortable life she used to have, rather than any deep affection she still had for Chen Dong as a person.

She curled her lip and gave a self-deprecating snort: "Hmph, this life is really miserable."

At this moment, Chen Dong and Chu Mengran were playing on the beach.

The golden sunlight shone down without reservation on the sand, which was as soft as powdered sugar.

The sea shimmered, like countless diamonds dancing merrily on its surface, sparkling with dazzling light.

Chen Dong and Chu Mengran strolled hand in hand on the beach.

The gentle sea breeze, like a tender hand, caressed their faces and hair, stirring their hearts.

"Mengran, look how pretty this seashell is! Doesn't it look like a little fan?"

With the shimmering light of the sea reflected in his eyes, Chen Dong bent down and picked up a seashell with exquisite patterns.

The seashell shimmered with a warm luster in the sunlight, and he handed it to Chu Mengran with a doting smile.

Chu Mengran accepted the seashell as if it were a rare treasure, her eyes wide open.

He smiled with delight and said, "So cute, Chen Dong! This seashell is so special; the patterns look like they were carefully sculpted by nature."

“There are more over there, let’s go take a look.”

With an interest in exploration in his eyes, Chen Dong pulled Chu Mengran toward a spot not far away.

Chu Mengran followed with light steps and a heart full of joy, her skirt fluttering in the wind as if dancing with the waves.

They walked to a rocky area, carefully sat on the rocks, and quietly watched the sunset slowly descend.

The orange-red afterglow shone on them, as if draping them in a golden veil, making them look like a dream.

"Mengran, the time I spend with you is always so wonderful."

Chen Dong gently put his arm around Chu Mengran's shoulder, his voice low and tender, as if he were making the most affectionate vow.

Chu Mengran's cheeks flushed slightly as she leaned against Chen Dong's chest, a happy smile on her face.

"Chen Dong, I also feel so happy. I hope we can stay like this forever, watching such a beautiful sunset and walking on such soft sand every day."

Meanwhile, Shen Yue, in Sanxi Village, was awakened by the sharp crowing of roosters in the morning and had no choice but to begin a day of farm life.

With fond memories of her happy life with Chen Dong, Shen Yue helped her mother, Jia Fang, feed the chickens in the yard.

Looking at the chickens running around and clucking, he frowned deeply, feeling utterly annoyed.

"Ugh, why can't chickens just be worry-free?"

Shen Yue complained impatiently, holding a feed scoop in her hand.
