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

She traded her freedom for a certain period of time for the freedom of her past love, Tao Hao.

"Perhaps...perhaps I can agree to Chen Dong's request in exchange for Tao Hao's freedom."

Shen Yue thought to herself, her eyes filled with hesitation and pain.

She was torn between her past relationship and Chen Dong's unreasonable demands.

But now, Shen Yue no longer has such thoughts.

"No... I can't do that. Tao Hao has changed. He's no longer the Tao Hao I knew."

As Shen Yue thought to herself, her gaze gradually hardened, her eyes filled with determination.

Looking at Tao Hao, it was as if she were re-examining this person she once knew.

The worried look turned into a calm one, and the complex emotions subsided.

"Tao Hao, you've really changed."

Shen Yue said in a low voice, her eyes filled with disappointment and determination.

Having shifted the blame, Tao Hao stared intently at Shen Yue, his eyes filled with extreme longing.

He saw Shen Yue as his only lifeline in this abyss of despair.

At this moment, he desperately wanted to get out. He knew very well that the only way to escape this imprisonment was to get Chen Dong to forgive him.

"Yueyue, please help me. Go find Chen Dong and ask him to forgive me."

Tao Hao's voice trembled slightly as he pleaded, "I know you two are close. You're so smart and resourceful, you'll definitely be able to persuade him."

As he spoke, he gripped the iron bars tightly with both hands, his knuckles turning white from the force. He leaned forward, wishing he could just pass through the bars and pull Shen Yue to his side.

Seeing that Shen Yue did not respond immediately, a hint of panic flashed in Tao Hao's eyes.

She then added urgently, "If all else fails, you can sleep with him and get him under your control, anyway..."

"Anyway, you've slept with him more than once or twice."

Tao Hao's voice was slightly choked, and his words carried a hint of reluctance.

But at this moment, in order to get out of here, he couldn't care less about anything else.

"For my sake, no matter what, you must make Chen Dong forgive me and let me out!"

His tone was almost frantic, as if he was encouraging himself and Shen Yue.

"When I get out, I promise I'll treat you really, really well, okay, Yueyue?"

A hint of anticipation flickered in Tao Hao's eyes, as if he could already see the beautiful scene of regaining his freedom and being together with Shen Yue again.

He imagined himself walking out of prison, embracing Shen Yue tightly, and telling her about his endless longing and apologies.

Tao Hao pleaded, his eyes filled with urgency and longing, like a wild beast trapped in a cage yearning for freedom.

He kept imagining what it would be like to be released from prison, imagining himself walking in the sunlight again, breathing the air of freedom.

All of this depends on whether Shen Yue can help him persuade Chen Dong.

However, Tao Hao knew that Chen Dong would not easily forgive him, since he had tried to kill Chen Dong with a fruit knife.

But he still held onto a sliver of hope, thinking that Shen Yue was different; they were so intimate, and had slept together countless times.

He naively believed that Shen Yue still had some influence over Chen Dong.

"Yueyue, please, please help me."

Tao Hao's voice grew increasingly mournful.

"I really don't want to stay in the cell anymore. I'm being bullied, beaten, tortured, and humiliated every day."

As he spoke, he subconsciously touched his bruised and battered face, recalling his days in jail.

The scenes of being bullied replayed in my mind like a nightmare.

At night, he could only curl up in a small corner to sleep, and if he made the slightest noise, he would be beaten and scolded by his cellmates.

During meals, they often only get leftovers, and any resistance is met with even more severe beatings.

“They will steal my food and leave me hungry.”

Tears welled up in Tao Hao's eyes, and his voice trembled even more.

“At night, they would deliberately wake me up so I wouldn’t get any rest. If I resisted, they would beat me even more badly.”

His eyes were filled with fear and despair as he looked at Shen Yue.

"I live in fear every day, and I don't know when this will end. Yueyue, please save me, okay?"

Looking at Tao Hao's messy hair, which grew wildly like a clump of weeds, and his face covered in bruises and red marks.

That crazy look of him, who disregarded his own dignity in order to get out of the cell.

Shen Yue felt a sharp pain in her heart.

The once sunny, handsome boy with beautiful dreams has now become like this.

"Tao Hao...you've really changed."

Shen Yue said in a low voice, as soft as a wisp of sand in the wind, but it was filled with endless disappointment and determination.

The last trace of warmth that had remained in her eyes for Tao Hao had completely vanished.

Tao Hao was once the ideal man in her heart. They would stroll together on the school playground, dreaming of a bright future together.

Now, the selfish, cowardly person in front of her, who pushes all the blame onto her and even says such vile things, feels completely unfamiliar to her.

Shen Yue took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and looked directly into Tao Hao's eyes.

She said, slowly and deliberately, "Tao Hao, the Tao Hao I once loved, was kind, confident, ambitious, and had his own principles and bottom line."

"But the way you are now makes me feel like a stranger and disgusted."

Although the voice was calm, it was like a sharp knife, piercing straight into Tao Hao's heart.

"You blame all your mistakes on me, saying such shameless things just so you can get out."

"You are no longer the Tao Hao I knew."

A determined light shone in Shen Yue's eyes.

At this moment, she had completely seen through Tao Hao's true colors, and the last shred of illusion in her heart had been shattered.

Shen Yue was disappointed, utterly desperate.

"Tao Hao, I'm so disappointed in you."

Shen Yue said in a low voice, her eyes filled with pain and determination.

Tears welled up in her eyes, but she held them back.

"Tao Hao, from now on, we have nothing to do with each other."

"I won't sacrifice myself for scum like you. You can just wait to rot in jail."

Shen Yue said coldly, her eyes filled with determination.

The voice was so cold it seemed to come from another world.

Afterwards, Shen Yue ignored Tao Hao's attempts to persuade her to stay and resolutely turned and left.

"Yueyue, don't go! Please help me!"

Tao Hao shouted from behind, his voice filled with despair and pain.

He reached out his hands through the iron bars, trying to grab Shen Yue, but only managed to grasp air.

But Shen Yue left the visiting room without looking back, her heart filled with determination and resolve.

Their steps didn't falter for a moment, as if they were fleeing a nightmare.

Outside the police station, Shen Yue stopped in her tracks, tears finally welling up in her eyes. She shook her head, seemingly trying to shake off all memories of Tao Hao from her mind.
