CH 59

~End of chapter 38

Meng Xuexin’s face turned ugly. She didn’t understand how things had turned into them asking her for money.

Lu Wanwan kept asking: “Didn’t you say you had wronged him all these years? Apologies are a must, and there should also be a compensation, right? Is it possible that you are just saying it to sound good?”

Meng Xuexin was about to lose control of the expression on her face, “I want to talk to my son.”

Shen Yi lifted his eyelids and indifferently swept a glance at her. There was no emotional fluctuations on his face as he said, “You go back.”

Chapter 59

(24.2)

Meng Xuexin stared at the man in front of her and suddenly fell in a trance. That year, she took him out of the Shen family on an anger impulse and then left him because of another one of her impulse.

It’s not that she never felt any guilt over the years, but that bit of guilt wasn’t enough to keep her from living well with her husband and her little son.

She already had a new life, her foreign husband treated her very well, her little son was smart and filial. It wasn’t easy to get this life and she would never give it up easily.

“I just wanted to come and see how you are doing now.” Meng Xuexin said, seemingly on the verge of tears again.

The corners of Shen Yi’s mouth curved down, “No need, I’m doing fine.” After a pause, he added, “I won’t invite you in to sit, you’d better go back.”

He spoke very politely, so much so that people who didn’t know who they were to each other would never guess that they were mother and son.

(TL’s note : Shen Yi has been using a polite form of address to say ” you” all along)

Shen Yi didn’t have much feelings for either of his parents, these relatives were of no importance.

What was especially funny was that, these days, his company was being viciously targeted by a competitor, and the one who started this vicious competition was no one else but that little son born to his mother and her foreign husband.

Shen Yi didn’t intend to show mercy, a few days had passed and now it was almost time to close the net.

Meng Xuexin left reluctantly, without reconciling with her son and without having the opportunity to mention the matter of shares.

After closing the door, Lu Wanwan tilted her head and looked at the slender man in front of her. Pursing her lips, she asked, “Did you get soaked in the rain last night because of this matter?”

No one would feel good inside their heart when being recalled that they had been abandoned.

Although Shen Yi didn’t say it out loud, but Lu Wanwan was sure that he must still be feeling very sad inside.

“No.” The man coughed twice, looked down at her and asked, “They didn’t give you a hard time yesterday, did they, Li Xing and the others ?”

For a moment Lu Wanwan did not know how to answer, it definitely couldn’t be said that they gave her a hard time, it’s just that they looked down on her.

It didn’t feel nice to be belittled.

“They didn’t.” She smiled, revealing her teeth, “But they don’t seem to like me very much.”

Shen Yi was about to say there was no such thing.

But Lu Wanwan spoke first. As her eyes curved up, her smile looked cunning: “It’s okay, I don’t like them very much either.”

Each and every one of them was scum.

Li Xing was still okay, but Zhao Shizhou and Shen Yi’s big brother were literally the representatives of scumbags. They did all sorts of things like keeping a young mistress and so on.

Shen Yi who was still feverish looked a little haggard, “Don’t go out with them next time.”

He was afraid she would get bullied.

Lu Wanwan didn’t care much. Thinking back now, she still felt that the expression on Li Xing and Fu Chenghuai’s faces yesterday was really funny.

In their eyes, she was probably a useless loser who didn’t know how to do anything.

Lu Wanwan discovered that she was very adept at eating, drinking and playing, she didn’t know whether or not it was because she had inherited the Lu family’s genes, but her idiot brother was like her, he wasn’t very good at studying, but was very proficient at playing games.

She looked at Shen Yi’s poor complexion and pointed to the hot porridge on the table, “You drink the porridge first and then take your medicine.”

(TL’s note : I think the author made a mistake here, Lu Wanwan was supposed to go outside to buy porridge, but she didn’t, yet porridge appeared on the table.)

“Good.” He quickly ate the entire bowl of porridge and then took the medicine without even a frown.

He suddenly said, “Thank you for last night.”

Lu Wanwan blinked, “I didn’t even do anything.”

Today, they both had no intention of going out and Lu Wanwan was too embarrassed to let Shen Yi, a sick patient, cook.

At noon, she ordered takeout, but Shen Yi refused to eat it. He silently went into the kitchen and made three dishes and a soup as he said, “Takeout food isn’t clean.”

Whether or not it was clean was another story, but what was for sure was that Shen Yi’s cooking tasted better than the food bought outside.

During the afternoon, Zhao Zhao called, asking her first if she was still interested in hosting before telling her that she had found her an apartment.

From that day where she mentioned the divorce to Shen Yi, Lu Wanwan had already started looking for a new apartment.

She hadn’t come across a suitable apartment until today.

“The apartment location is very good, the only down point is that the rent is a little expensive, go visit the apartment when you have free time and if you are satisfied, you can move in with your stuff within this month.”

“A “little expensive” is how much ah?”

“Don’t tell me you can’t bear to spend on rent, that kind of little money ?”

” Frugality and thrift are virtues.”

“My a**.”

When she hung up the phone, Lu Wanwan discovered that Shen Yi was standing behind her, holding a glass of water in his hand. He looked like he just went out of his room to drink water, but she didn’t know whether or not he heard what she said on the phone.
