Chapter 157

A few people returned to their villa, and Yu Shu asked the aunt to take Gu Xingyu to see the room prepared for her.CHeCk for new stories on no/v/el/bin(.)c0m

Wenwen hurriedly asked, "What about mine? Where am I staying? I want to stay next to Xingyu."

Wenwen had come in a hurry, and her room had not been tidied up yet.

Yu Shu: "The room next to Xingyu is a bit small."

"No problem, this villa is so big, how small can the room be?" Wenwen waved her hand nonchalantly.

Yu Shu then asked the aunt to tidy up that room for Wenwen.

After settling the accommodation, Yu Shu's expression turned stern: "Ye Jingwen, come to my study."

Anytime someone was called by their full name by family, it meant big trouble was coming.

"Brother-in-law, save me." Wenwen pleaded.

"I can't save you," Shen Youlin slipped away instantly.

Wenwen followed Yu Shu into the study. Yu Shu sat on the small sofa and patted the spot next to her: "Come sit, and tell me why you ran away from home."

"My mom scolded me..."

"What did she scold you for?"

"She called me a waste, a waste of her hard efforts. She wouldn't listen to a word I said. I didn't miss the exam on purpose. I..." Wenwen became more and more aggrieved as she spoke, tears streaming down her face. "I was locked in the bathroom by that scoundrel Wang Yan..."

Wenwen's aunt and uncle had pulled strings for over a year to get her into the prestigious Yangcheng No. 1 High School. As long as Wenwen's exam score was high enough and she passed the school's entrance exam, she could attend one of the top three high schools in the province.

Wenwen cried until she hiccupped, recounting in fragments how Wang Yan and two other girls had tricked her into going to the bathroom.

"Xia Weiwei came and told me Yu Li had her period and didn't have any pads... *hiccup* She asked if I had any... I, I said yes... She said the teacher asked her to go to the office and for me to... *hiccup*... bring some to her... Then, then they locked me in the bathroom..."

"What's bad about you?" Yu Shu gently tapped Wenwen's cheek.

"Exactly!" Wenwen beamed proudly, shaking her head. "There's no better kid than me!"

"Mmm."

As Wenwen left the study, she ran into Shen Youlin.

"Oh, where did this grinning cat come from?"

Wenwen stuck her tongue out at him and ran to the bathroom to wash her face.

"Wifey~" Shen Youlin pounced on Yu Shu. "I need counseling and emotional comfort too."

Yu Shu patted his head, amused: "What are you dissatisfied with?"

"You know very well!" Shen Youlin protested.

Yu Shu cupped his face and kissed him: "Be good, wait a little longer."

Shen Youlin grumbled: "By the time I'm done waiting, I'll be old and gray, no match for those young hotties with eight-pack abs."

"Ah, I hear the aunt calling us for dinner." Yu Shu found an excuse and took off.

The next afternoon, Zheng Xinming came to the villa to give them a fitness class. The four of them had different needs: Yu Shu wanted to shape her body, Shen Youlin wanted to build muscle, Wenwen wanted to lose fat, and Gu Xingyu wanted to strengthen her body - Zheng Xinming was exhausted!

"You gotta raise my pay, you know?!" Zheng Xinming said with hands on hips. "I'm getting paid an assistant's salary but working as a driver, bodyguard, and trainer!"

Yu Shu: "Raise it is! Double bonus!"

While Shen Youlin led Wenwen and Gu Xingyu in stretching, Yu Shu pulled Zheng Xinming aside and asked in a low voice: "How are the preparations going? Let's move up the date if everything's ready."

Otherwise, Shen Youlin's marital resentment and sourness were growing by the day, enough to match a jar of aged sour pickles.

"The custom-made rings are on their way, should arrive in two days if nothing goes wrong. As for the venue, as long as we pay the event planners enough, it won't be a problem."
