🍓 CHAPTER 181 🍓
Shi Chen took out the bag of food he bought for her behind his back.
“Forget it this time, and eat less in the future.”
“Yes!”
Her face that was cloudy was immediately brightened as she took a piece of fried chicken out of the bag and stuffed it into her mouth with a satisfied look.
Shi Chen shook his head and smiled when he saw her like this.
No matter how sensible and precocious she were, she still look like a child at this time.
When Shi Chen came back this time, in addition to staying at home he also went to the old house to visit his grandmother.
Old Lady Shi’s health became worse and worse, the doctor advised her to be hospitalized but the old lady was stubborn and said she didn’t like the smell of the hospital and just let her old body resigned to fate so she wanted to stay at home.
The brother and sister were together and sat down with their grandmother all afternoon. The old lady was now very sleepy as they stayed with her for a while to talk not knowing when their grandmother lay down in the sofa and fall asleep.
When Shi Chen and Shi NIng came out of the old mansion Shi Chen said to Shi Ning.
“Ning Ning you go home by yourself today, I’ll go to my mother’s place.”
Shi Ning knew that after he came back he must go to Cao Shu’s place and did not say much and just went home alone.
Shi Chen went to Cao Shu’s villa.
The large three-storey villa where Cao Shu and aunty lived, but after knowing that Shi Chen was coming Cao Shu let the aunt go home so the mother and son could have a time together at home.
Cao Shu was a woman with strong space alone, she was the only one had the key to her home. Shi Chen who was her only son doesn’t even have the key to her house, so every time Shi Chen comes to here he feels like a guest.
After ringing the doorbell, Cao Shu opened the door for him.
“Son, you are here.”
“En.”
“Come on in, mommy has made you dinner.”
She said as she enthusiastically pulled Shi Chen into the house.
A large table full of dishes was place on the dining room table and Cao Shu handed the chopstick to her son.
“Come on, try it. These was personally cooked by mom for you, you should eat more of them.”
After saying that, he gave Shi Chen a bowl of rice and put it in front of him.
Shi Chen looked at the large table full of dishes, and picked dishes that were close to him.
“Is it delicious?”
Cao Shu asked.
“It’s not bad.”
Although he did not like most of the dishes.
Shi Chen: “Mom, have you eaten yet? You sit down and let’s eat together too.”
Cao Shu shook her head.
“Mom is not hungry, you just eat.”
While Shi Chen ate, Cao Shu surveyed her son.
“Son, how are you doing with your school work? I heard that the medical course is very difficult, it is a bit overwhelming. I see that my son has lost weight after going to college.”
Cao Shu was about to pinch his face.
Shi Chen slightly inclined his head, he does not particularly like others to touch him.
Although Cao Shu was his mother but the two do not live together, it always seems like there was something in between.
“It’s not difficult, I like it.”
After he dodged her hand a hint of embarrassment flashed in Cao Shu’s eyes and then she covered it up with a smile.
“I think quite a few of you changed your majors in your freshman year.”
Shi Chen: “Well, many of the students who filled in and obeyed the adjustment volunteer are assigned to majors they don’t like. They are basically freshmen but it also depends on the result.”
“But it also depends on the grades, the GPA has to be in front of the faculty to do so.”
Cao Shu: “Your grades, mom certainly doesn’t worry but you didn’t listen to my advice during the college entrance examination.”
“Must you study medicine? Now that you already know how difficult that course is, isn’t that enough? Listen to your mother’s advice and change your major while it’s still early in freshman year.”
Shi Chen’s chopstick paused.
“I think it’s good to study medicine for the benefit of mankind.”
Cao Shu sneered.
“You are still young, it is easy to fall into idealism. There are no noble doctors in real life and there are all kinds of people you meet every day if you become a doctor, aren’t you tired of dealing some low quality people?”
“Besides is there even little news about the doctor-patient relationship of gaining connections in recent years?”
“Truth is, how much can a doctor earn? Your father has a big company, in the future it will not be handed over to you, and your grandfather’s side will fight for it. Son you are destined to do business this is the way you must go.”
The meal which already tasted bad was even harder to swallow.
Shi Chen put down his chopsticks.
“I’m done.”
------
🍓 CHAPTER 182 🍓
Shi Chen put down his chopsticks.
“I’m done.”
Cao Shu was talking enthusiastically but her son gave her this finishing blow and stop eating.
“You don’t want to eat anymore? But you haven’t eaten much.”
“I have no appetite.”
He got up from his seat and saw his mother open her mouth to say something so he hurriedly said.
“Mom, if there’s nothing else I’ll go home first.”
Cao Shu frowned.
“Why are you leaving already when you just arrived?”
Shi Chen pulled his lips and smiled.
“Your son is afraid that if he stays too long he will say something you don’t want to hear so it’s better to go.”
“You! Why are you acting like this? Did Shi Pingzhan teach you this way?”
Shi Chen: “Do you think I will listen to him?”
Cao Shu: “Then it’s your sister Shi Ning, right? I see that the more she grows up the more scheming she becomes. Did she teach you to disobey me and alienate me, your mother!”
Seeing his mother like this, Shi Chen felt fed up.
“You’re overthinking, you’re my mother who would ask me to alienate you.”
“Who else could it be if not her? Have you forgotten how she treated you when you were little? mom still remembers visiting you at Shi’s house when you were little and you were crying in my arms asking me why your sister didn’t like you.”
“Xiao Chen you can’t give your heart to her just because she’s good to you now. Why don’t you think about whey she’s suddenly being nice to you now when she was like that to you before.”
“And Yu Chuyao, yes, she has done a lot of wrong things, but didn’t she used to be close to Shi Ning like a sister? Look at how Shi Ning treated her after she tore up her face, and Chuyao was still kicked out of the Shi family by her.”
“This child’s heart is too deep, mom is afraid that you will be hurt by her in the future.”
“That’s enough!”
Shi Chen interrupted her.
He turned his head to look at Cao Shu.
“Mom in your mind, am I particularly stupid and dumb?”
“How! You’re mommy’s proudest son!”
With Shi Chen, even after divorce no one in the celebrity circle would dare to look down on her.
Shi Chen smiled sarcastically.
“If not, then how can I not even see who is sincere and who is false to me?”
Cao Shu froze.
Shi Chen looked at the large half of the dishes on the dining table that he had not touched.
“Also, mom in this big table full of foods you’ve cook today there are several dishes I don’t eat and there’s even one that I’m allergic to.”
“It’s hard for you, in the future when your son comes over to see you the dishes don’t have to be prepared.”
Shi Chen turned to go outside after saying this.
Cao Shu saw that something was wrong and pulled him back.
“Xiao Chen, it’s mommy’s fault. For so many years mommy was busy working and had no time for you, that home…..that home has bad memories of mommy and mommy didn’t dare to go over for a long time even if I saw you I would remember those painful memories that your father brought to me.”
“But mommy really loves you to, I’m afraid that you will be hurt even just a little in that family. After all that woman hurt me in the beginning and I don’t was her daughter to hurt my son again.”
“Xiao Xhen can you understand mommy’s good intentions.”
Cao Shu said and her voice at the end was almost choked.
Shi Chen finally could not bear it in his hear and turned his head, he gently patted the back of his mother’s hand.
“Mom, I know it’s not easy for you to be alone all these years. Since I am your son I will be your lifelong dependence, no one will hurt you in the future.”
Cao Shu looked at her son with teary eyes and nodded in relief.
“Mom knows, mom knows that Xiao Chen still loves mom in her heart.”
This son of hers, as it turns out has always been a softie rather than hard.
“It’s just Mom, Shi Ning is my sister and I don’t want to hear a single bad word about her from you in the future.”
“I have to suffer if she treats me badly and I am blessed if she treats me well.”
After finishing the sentence, Shi Chen pushed her hand away and walked out of the villa.
After Shi Chen left, Cao Shu’s face was no longer look concerned.
She grumpily picked up the remote control on the table and slammed it directly onto the floor.
Now Shi Chen seems to be poisoned by Shi Ning, she hasn’t seen her son treat anyone so well.
If this goes on, if Shi Ning wants to monopolize the Shi family’s estate in the future would her son also give it up and become a doctor in peace and quiet? (T/N: hell yeah!! And gladly at that. Sorry can’t bear not to comment)
No way! She couldn’t let Shi Pingzhan and that woman be so proud.
What they owe her she would have to make them pay back one day.
Just when Cao Shu was extremely annoyed her phone rang.
-------
🍓 CHAPTER 183 🍓
What they owe her she would have to make them pay back one day.
Just when Cao Shu was extremely annoyed her phone rang.
She answered the phone impatiently.
“Hello?”
After hearing the contents of the phone call Cao Shu’s face became even more ugly.
“What do you mean? How did he transfer to Yangchuan!”
Since the sophomore years of senior high school they have had much less vacation time.
The school explicitly says that the second year of high school Has still a double break but in fact they often makes up classes for them.
The good two-day holiday was about to be made into weeks and weeks of studying.
Not to mention that the National Day was clearly a seven day long holiday, compressed into five days.
After resuming classes and returning to school again Shi Ning saw Wan Yue sleeping in his desk, remembering what the waiter said she looked at him with a touch of pity in her gaze.
She used to despise him for not listening well in the class and sleeping all the time but now that she thinks about it, people have reason for that.
Because she has been poor before, she knows all too well the difficulties of poor children.
If she had been given the opportunity to attend such a good high school in Yangchuan she would have been happy to work three jobs not to mention two jobs at night.
So she could very much understand why Wan Yue would be so desperate.
It was because of the poverty that people wanted to change their fate more than others.
She came into the world with a most unfortunate time and her life was turned upside down
She cherishes everything now and her past self was well preserved in the corner of her heart.
Shi Ning now looks at Wan Yue with a feeling of sympathy.
She was not actually incapable of helping Wan Yue now, as long as she speaks to her dad or Nan Xiao the school could double the scholarship given to Wan Yue.
However this was not what Wan Yue wants.
Just as when she was still Li Shi Ning, the news of her parents’ death was not unreported and there were many caring people in the community who wanted to help her and some even wanted to adopt her.
But she refused.
She just wants to live with her grandmother for the rest of her life, as long as they could still make themselves live even if it’s not so good and she doesn’t need charity from others.
The poor have more self-esteem than anyone else sometimes.
So she pretended not to know, what she saw in the restaurant that day she did not mention a word to Wan Yue as if nothing had happened at all.
But she would help him secretly.
For example, deliberately buying an extra breakfast, like buying snacks or seven seeing that Wan Yue’s pen refill was almost used up she would secretly replace it with a new one for him.
These seemingly inadvertent gestures or passing favors among tablemates do not arose his disgust.
Math class.
After Mr. Liu finished his lecture he asked everyone to do the exercise after class.
Shi Ning had finished all the exercise after the class when he gave the lecture, now she just took out the competition book and review.
The last competition result came out with a total score 120 she got 102, this score in the Olympic Mathematics was already considered a very high score.
But this was only the preliminary round, after entering the league the number of questions would be more and more difficult and the score would be increased to three hundred points.
When it comes to the league those who could do the whole paper and get more than 250 point were very powerful gods who could break into the national competition.
While Shi Ning was brushing up on her skills the class teacher Lao Liu came down from the podium and made his rounds through the crowd.
He walked over to Shi Ning’s side then look at Wan Yue who was lying on the able and asleep again, frowning, he was about to shout to the boy.
Shi Ning who was sitting beside him at the inner side shook her head to the teacher.
Whispered, she said.
“Teacher, you let him sleep he understands everything in this class anyway. He…..has had quite a hard time too.”
In the whole class, Lao Liu’s favorite student was Shi Ning. Her grades were good and she was obedient, her family was also rich but she was always obedient and polite to teachers. She always maintains a humble and constantly positive attitude.
After hearing Shi Ning say so, Lao Liu looked at the person sleeping on the table and sighed and spared him as if he did not see him sleeping.
After the teacher left, Shi Ning continued to work on her book.
“Why treat me so well?”
Her ears heard someone’s cold voice, Shi Ning was frightened by him. Turning her head she saw Wan Yue had woken up and was looking at her with one hand propped his head.
Shi Ning: “You weren’t sleeping?”
“I slept, I just woke up when you were talking to Lao Liu.”
He smiled and continued.
“And I heard you tell Lao Liu not to wake me up.”
“You can hear me even when I’m talking so quietly?”
She was actually using a lip-sync with Mr. Liu just now.
Wan Yue: “That’s not true, otherwise how do I usually manage to sleep and listen to the lecture at the same time.”
“You’re awesome.”
She gave him a compliment.
Wan Yue tilted her head to look at her.
“I regret it a bit now.”
Shi Ning said two more words to him before she bowed her head and continued to look at her book. At this moment when she heard Wan Yue speak she answered casually.
“What do you regret?”
Wan Yue: “Do you remembered the first day I sat here, those boys in the class said that my foolishness would affect your study and I made a promise at that time.”
He began to recall the scene at that time.
“I said that although I have no money but my grades are still the top to ensure that will not delay the study of our class of prospective liberal arts students.”
The smile in his eyes deepened as he looked at Shi Ning.
“Now this assurance make me regret it a little.”
“If I want to have a relationship with the school flower will it delay your first place in the exam?”
-------
🍓 CHAPTER 184 🍓
“If I want to have a relationship with the school flower will it delay your first place in the exam?”
His half-truth and half-lie words succeeded in stopping Shi Ning’s pen.
She turned her head and looked at him as well.
“Do you need me to give you an answer right now?”
“Hm?”
Shi Ning’s reaction was somewhat unexpected for Wan Yue, after all his words could also count as half confession so how could he not see the slightest shyness.
Shi Ning: “My answer is, no.”
“Because even if you want to have relationship with the school girl you can only think about it.”
Wan Yue: “…”
That was ruthless, and he likes it.
Half a class time pass, because Wan Yue disturb her she could only solve two question and there was a question that she was not able to answer.
She analyze the question for almost half a day but she could just half understood it.
Shi Ning thought about it, stood up and said to Wan Yue.
“Mover over, I want to get out.”
Seeing that she was still holding the book in her hand he asked in passing.
“Going to the office, huh?”
Shi Ning: “No, go to my friend.”
Wan Yue was shocked.
“You are so good, yet you still need to ask others about the topic?”
Shi Ning smiled.
“He is better than me.”
He was simply a phone schoolmaster where he could answer everything as long as she points it out.
Lin Suno’s class was on the first floor and after Shi Ning went down she happened to see Lin Suno standing at the door.
She did not go over immediately.
Because she seems….to have come at a bad time.
Lin Suno had just come out of his class when a girl who had been standing at the door for a long time walked up and handed him a love letter.
“I….I’ve liked you for a long time.”
The girl shyly bowed her head and said.
Shi Ning took a closer look at the girl.
If she remembered correctly this girl was the class flower of the second class from science class who was also very beautiful looking sister.
She belongs to the pure and lovely model, she most could hit the straight man’s appearance.
Such a soft girl, shy and timid but she still summon up the courage to come to him and confess not afraid of being refused.
She’s all about doing what her heart desire.
But Lin Suno was like an emotionless ** iceberg.
He didn’t even glance at the love letter and threw out a few words as formulaically as if he had rejected a thousand people.
“Thank you, I don’t like you.”
Then he went straight around the girl and continued on his way.
The moment he turned his head, he saw Shi Ning standing at the stairway.
Lin Suno walked over and threw the garbage out of his hand into the trash bin at the entrance of the corridor.
“Are you here to see me?”
He asked.
Shi Ning nodded her head and showed him the question she had problems with.
“This, I’m not very good at. You help me look at it.”
Lin Suno looked at the topic roughly once and then looked at his watch
“There are only a few minutes before class starts so leave your books with me and I’ll come look for you in the next class.”
The two chatted, the class flower who confessed earlier pass by them and gave the two a sad look with tears in her eyes.
Shi Ning asked gloatingly.
“Suno, that’s what’s wrong with you, how can you be so hard on girls.”
“I’m telling the truth why was is hard?”
Shi Ning thought that was true, with his character if he didn’t like he could not say anything good.
“That is the class flower eh, if you don’t like her then what do you like?”
Although she herself has a little interest in the matter of love, she was curious as to what kind of girl a person Lin Suno would like.
Lin Suno was still helping her on the question when he heard her say such phrase and raised his eyes.
“So what if she was the class flower? According to the flaw of our conversation the school flower is fight in front of me so why should I like her.”
------
🍓 CHAPTER 185 🍓
Shi Ning originally just want to gossip, who expected this gossip was a gossip about herself.
She couldn’t help but blush.
“Suno, are you being influence by them, how could you follow my joke.”
Lin Suno slightly hooked his lips, as a smile blossomed hidden in the corner of his lips.
“In your mind, I’m that good?”
Why else would she say that he was led astray? Why didn’t she think that he was actually bad.
Shi Ning: “Of course, if our Suno is not good then else is behaved?”
In her heart Lin Suno was the most well-behaved good boy.
His dark eyes dropped, hiding all his emotions.
It seems that Shi Ning has really misunderstood him.
But it’s nothing, she seems to like him this good look but because of this every time he, Nan Xiao and Jin Sihan fight, Shi Ning would invariably favor.
Since she likes it, he would continue to be good.
He was just afraid to wait until the day he couldn’t stand it, and couldn’t not scare her out.
The class bell rang at this time.
Shi Ning said to Lin Suno.
“I’ll go up first.”
After the two separated, Lin Suno walked into the classroom.
Zhuang Zixue, who was still sitting in front of him turned his head.
“I say, you just throw a garbage so how can you out so long, it turned out that you ran into Shi Ning again.”
Lin Suno ignored him and stared to read the question that Shi Ning asked him.
Zhuang Zixue looked at him, sighed and turned his head again.
“Beauty is a curse! Beauty has been a curse since ancient times!”
After school that day, Wan Yue went to the restaurant where he worked part-time as usual.
“Wan Yue, someone is looking for you.”
Not long after he entered, the manager told him that someone had been waiting for him for a long time.
Wan Yue: “Who is looking for me?”
The manager pointed behind him.
Wan Yue took a looked at the man and didn’t recognized, he was wearing a black suit a pair of sunglasses looking tall and strong.
“This big brother, you’ve got the wrong person, right? We don’t each other.”
Brother in black.
“I’m not looking for you, my lady is looking for you.”
When Wan Yue heard this, the smile on his face instantly disappeared.
He followed the black-clad bodyguard to a car.
The bodyguard opened the back seat of the car for him.
“Please.”
Wan Yue glanced at the car, there was a bright looking and beautiful woman sitting inside the car. She sat in a dignified and elegant posture.
From her accouris to her jewelry were very elaborate like a noblewoman from the last century oil painting.
He looked at himself again.
Torn jeans, a pair of open-sewn canvas shoes in addition to because he just helped in the kitchen he had a full smell of grease and smoke.
It seems that he doesn’t fit with this luxurious car, if he said he was here to wash the car it would only lowered the class of the car.
Wan Yue’s lips pulled out a mocking smile.
He sat in, his eyes darted around the car and then whistled.
“This car is so luxurious, I usually only see it on TV!”
Cao Shu did not have the time to talk to him about this.
She was full of seriousness and asked directly.
“Why are you here?”
Wan Yue crossed his legs and found a more comfortable position to sit in the car.
“I should ask you this, I washing dishes in the restaurant well, did you not call me over?”
“I’m asking why are you in Yangcheng! And went to study in Yangchua!”
Cao Shu raised her voice.
Wan Yue inclined his head and pick his ear.
“You are so beautifully dressed, you should also keep up with your speech and mannerism otherwise you will not be consistent with your appearance. Am I right, Auntie?”
Cao Shu was provoked by his words making her face turning from blue to white for a while. Finally she heard the word aunt and was completely blue.
“What did you just call me?”
“Auntie ah, what else can I call you, can I call you mother?”
Wan Yue smiled and asked rhetorically, he looked like he was smiling but his eyes were cold.
This name sounds even more harsh in Cao Shu’s ears.
“Forget it, you can shout as much as you like.”
The smile on the corner of Wan Yue’s lips grew even more colder.
