Chapter 802: Chapter 802: The Childhood Sweetheart Gets Married (28)

”Shenshen is back?”

”Yeah.” Mu Shen put down his backpack, ”Grandma, have you taken your medicine?”

”I have, I have.” Grandma Mu looked at Mu Shen, ”Shenshen, are you very happy today?”

Mu Shen was stunned for a moment, ”...Am I?”

”Of course.” Grandma Mu knew her grandson well, ”Did something good happen?”

”I’ll tell Grandma later.” Mu Shen sent Grandma Mu back to her room, ”You rest first, don’t stay up so late.”

”Keeping little secrets now, are we? Alright, you should also go to bed early and don’t stay up too late doing homework.”

”Mm.”

Mu Shen closed the door and took his backpack back to his room.

He took out the candy box; there were still quite a few candies left, which he hadn’t the heart to eat.

Clutching the box, Mu Shen took a while before taking out his phone to send a message to the group chat.

[Mu Shen: Help me find out who Xiao Chu was dating at school before.]

The three of them hadn’t gone to bed yet.

Suddenly seeing such a message, they all perked up.

[Farmer·Unsweet Pumpkin·Business: Xiao Chu? Chuzheng?]

[Wealthy Wolf Little Prince: Eh~ calling her so affectionately, is something going on!?]

[Gen Hao a good Root Number: Damn, you scared me so much I fell off the bed, my ass!]

[Wealthy Wolf Little Prince: Brother Shen, what’s the deal with you and Student Yao? Late-night sentiments online, come on, tell us, and we’ll give Brother Shen some advice.]

[Mu Shen: Give me the news tomorrow.]

Mu Shen didn’t want to talk about this issue with them.

The trio, not getting anything from Mu Shen, ran to harass Chuzheng.

Chuzheng, a straight-talking and in-your-face straight guy, didn’t understand Mu Shen’s subtleties at all and naturally told it as it was.

Why would she pass up the chance to prove she was the owner of the Good Person Card?

It took only a few minutes for the trio to return.

[Farmer·Unsweet Pumpkin·Business: I used to think that Brother Shen would never have a partner in his life, but I never, ever expected, Brother Shen, have you stopped loving studying?]

[Gen Hao a good Root Number: I used to think that Brother Shen would never have a partner in his life, but I never, ever expected, Brother Shen, have you betrayed studying?]

[Wealthy Wolf Little Prince: I used to think that Brother Shen would never have a partner in his life, but I never, ever expected, Brother Shen, have you abandoned studying?]

Their Brother Shen had changed.

He had gotten a partner behind their backs!

And he wasn’t planning to tell them!

How outrageous!

[Mu Shen: ...]

The trio was frolicking in the chat.

They had already agreed on where to celebrate Brother Shen’s newfound singleton status.

It took a good while before they got back to the main topic.

[Wealthy Wolf Little Prince: But Brother Shen... you’re in a relationship now, isn’t it a bit inappropriate to ask about her ex-boyfriend? Don’t be so petty, be magnanimous; it’s all in the past now.]

[Farmer·Unsweet Pumpkin·Business: Right, Brother Shen, you’ve never been in a relationship, let me tell you, girls really hate this kind of stuff, you’re just checking up on her.]

[Gen Hao a good Root Number: You talk as if you’ve had a relationship before.]

[Farmer·Unsweet Pumpkin·Business: Although I haven’t had one, what I’m saying is still right.]

But not Mu Shen.

He had to know.

Not knowing made him feel uneasy.

He wanted to see what kind of guy she had dated before...

The three went to inquire about Chuzheng’s past relationships, half-heartedly.

The matter was easy to look into.

After all, everyone at Shengfeng High School knew.

No need to wait until tomorrow; results came that very night.

Mu Shen looked at the photo on his phone.

A tall and handsome boy was looking back at the camera holding a basketball, the light captured him just right, highlighting his handsomeness and charm.

This was her former boyfriend.

[Gen Hao a good Root Number: Brother Shen, this Yan Xiu cheated before, he made Student Yao wear a green hat... Yao broke up with him then. Everyone thought at first it was Yao who cheated, she got a lot of blame back then. It wasn’t until someone released a photo that the situation reversed.]

[Farmer·Unsweet Pumpkin·Business: Call him what you want, but in the future you should call her sister-in-law.]

[Wealthy Wolf Little Prince: That rich second generation called Yan Xiu, isn’t he bullying our sister-in-law?]

Mu Shen read through those messages.

The gloom had already begun to pile up in his eyes.

Mu Shen didn’t look at the messages in the group chat anymore; instead, he clicked on Chuzheng’s profile picture.

After much deleting and editing, he sent out a message.

-

Chuzheng didn’t see Mu Shen’s message until she got up the next day.

[Mu Shen: I absolutely won’t break up with you.]

Chuzheng checked the time—it was one-thirty in the morning.

In the middle of the night, what craziness is this?

Don’t good students need to sleep early?

[Chuzheng: You won’t have the chance to break up with me.]

Breaking up? That’s impossible.

Impossible in this lifetime.

[Mu Shen: Yeah, I won’t.]

Mu Shen replied instantly.

[Chuzheng: Aren’t you in class?] It should be class time right now, shouldn’t it?

[Mu Shen: Secretly replying to you.]

Chuzheng could almost imagine Mu Shen stealthily tapping on his phone under the desk.

Good student...

Chuzheng put down her phone and went to wash up.

In the afternoon, she would take care of the stock shares issue at Shengfeng High School.

Because of her age, those shares were temporarily held in Jing Liang’s name.

Jing Liang: ”...”

I never thought that one day, I’d have houses, cars, and stocks in my name...oh, no house yet.

The little boss kept staying in hotels.

The kind that costs ten thousand a day.

But he believed that with the little boss’s rate of squandering money, he’d have a house very soon.

Sigh.

Jing Liang was very worried.

Every day, he had to exert great self-control to ensure he didn’t run off with the money.

-

Jiang Jin hadn’t seen Chuzheng for several days. When she sent WeChat messages, Chuzheng was indifferent, but calling her would get a few words of conversation.

Jiang Jin couldn’t make out Chuzheng’s situation and could only bring Xu Qingzi into this.

Miss Xu was quite annoyed by her: ”Chuzheng’s stuff is still here, and she said she would come back, so she will. What’s your hurry?”

”How can I not be anxious? What if she really can’t come back? It’s the school’s decision...”

The Shang Family is her stepfather’s family; how could they help her!

Without the family stepping in, how could the school possibly let them come back based solely on Chuzheng?

Jiang Jin was so worried that she was losing hair by the handfuls.

”I heard about your family...”

Miss Xu cut her off: ”Jiang Jin, I don’t have a good relationship with that man.”

If she wanted to help Chuzheng, she would have to plead with him.

Miss Xu was unwilling to do that.

And moreover...

Xu Qingzi felt that the girl wouldn’t just leave like that.

Thinking about Xu Jiahuan strutting around the school, Jiang Jin didn’t want to rub salt into Miss Xu’s wounds anymore and dismissed the idea.

”Are you two standing at the school gate to be sculptures?”

Jiang Jin turned around, and surprise instantly spread across her cheeks: ”Xiao Chu! Ahhh!!”

Jiang Jin excitedly lunged at Chuzheng.

Chuzheng was startled and sidestepped.

Jiang Jin lunged at nothing.

Jiang Jin didn’t mind Chuzheng avoiding her, the joy was evident on her face: ”Xiao Chu, you’re back?”

”Yeah.”

Chuzheng’s expression was indifferent.

”What are you doing standing at the gate?”

From a distance, she had seen them standing there, not moving for a long time.

Miss Xu flicked her hair back: ”She was worried you wouldn’t come back and was preparing to protest at the school gate.”

Jiang Jin: ”...”
