Chapter 699: 052:

When s.h.i.+ Mengwan reached home, it was almost evening. Father s.h.i.+ went to the field to pick vegetables. Mother s.h.i.+ was cooking in the kitchen. s.h.i.+ Mengru, who had already advanced to the second year of middle school, was doing her homework in her room when she heard the car ring. She ran out.

“Sis? Why are you back?”

It wasn’t a festive season, so s.h.i.+ Mengwan rarely went home.

“It’s okay. I missed you guys.”

s.h.i.+ Mengwan smiled. Although she came back in a hurry, she still had gifts.

She took out a big box from the back seat of the car and handed it to s.h.i.+ Mengru. “Didn’t you say that the old tablet had a black screen? I bought a new one for you.”

“Wow, sis, you’re so nice. Mwah.” s.h.i.+ Mengru jumped up and kissed s.h.i.+ Mengwan.

“You spoil her.” Mother s.h.i.+ heard their voices and came out from the kitchen. “She’s only a student, but she already used two tablets. No one else uses a tablet. She doesn’t only have a computer, but she also has a tablet and a cell phone. Don’t spoil her.”

“Don’t worry. She’s not spoiled.” s.h.i.+ Mengwan rubbed her sister’s hair. “You’re watching her. You spoil her just by buying some electronic products?”

“You.”

s.h.i.+ Mengwan wanted to say something else, but s.h.i.+ Mengwan took out a bigger box from the back. “Mom, this is for you. I heard from Qingsang that this physiotherapy device sold very well in their hospital and it’s very effective. Your shoulder is always hurting, SO try this.”

“Why waste this money? How much pain can it be? I’ll just bear it and it’ll pa.s.s.”

“Mom, don’t be so frugal with money.” s.h.i.+ Mengwan took out the other gifts from the car. “Our studio has been doing very well recently. It’s quite busy. Don’t worry, your daughter can earn money.”

“You still came back despite being busy?” s.h.i.+ Mengwan took over the gifts. “Didn’t you just come back for the mid-autumn Festival? You don’t have to come back anymore. You keep running back and forth.”

“Mom, are you chasing me away?” s.h.i.+ Mengwan pretended to get into the car as she spoke. “Alright, the gifts have been delivered. I’m leaving.”

“You child.” Mother s.h.i.+ patted her on the back. “Let’s go. I’ll get your dad to buy some more vegetables. We need extra food tonight.”

Mother s.h.i.+ reached out to hug s.h.i.+ Mengwan. After she saw Zhan Haoze and Chen Feifei being unhappy together, no matter how unhappy she was before, she had calmed down now.

She shouldn’t be surprised, nor should she be surprised.

Zhan Haoze lied to her again and again, but she was stupid enough to believe him again and again.

This time, there really wouldn’t be a next time. She wouldn’t believe him again. Looking at the setting sun, s.h.i.+ Mengwan made up her mind.

When Father s.h.i.+ came back, he was very happy to see s.h.i.+ Mengwan again. The family ate happily. s.h.i.+ Mengwan sat and chatted with her parents for a while, then went to check on s.h.i.+ Mengru’s homework.

Actually, there was nothing to check. s.h.i.+ Mengru’s grades were good and she had always been among the best. She even planned to go to university in Lin City in the future and accompany her.

After taking a shower, s.h.i.+ Mengwan went back to her room, but she couldn’t fall asleep. She was in a bad mood. She looked at her phone and saw that there were a few missed calls.

Later, she turned off her phone, but Zhan Haoze called her. She didn’t understand why he called her.

He clearly had Chen Feifei. Why did he come to provoke her again?

She had made up her mind many times to give up, but every time, she wavered under Zhan Haoze’s overbearing and pestering.

Every time she made a promise, Zhan Haoze would break it in the end. It was enough.

This time, she was for real. She would never believe him again.

She would never believe a word he said. s.h.i.+ Mengwan thought this in her heart when she blocked Zhan Haoze’s number.

… ..

s.h.i.+ Mengwan blocked Zhan Haoze’s number, but she couldn’t fall asleep smoothly.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, her phone rang. The incessant ringing of her phone made s.h.i.+ Mengwan have no choice but to open her eyes.

She glanced at the screen. It was a number she didn’t recognize. She pressed it.

After a while, her phone rang again. She pressed it again. After a while, it rang again. She pressed it again.

After this stalemate for the fifth time, s.h.i.+ Mengwan finally couldn’t help but pick up the phone.

“Didn’t your mom tell you that calling someone in the middle of the night is very impolite?”

“No. My mom died a long time ago.”

The voice on the other end woke s.h.i.+ Mengwan up instantly. She looked at the phone in her palm. It was an unfamiliar number, and the voice was indeed Zhan Haoze’s.

She closed her eyes and was about to hang up.

“I’m at your door.” Zhan Haoze’s next sentence made her stop. “Right now, I’m at your door. It’s not Lin City’s apartment, it’s your hometown, Qingfeng Town.”

s.h.i.+ Mengwan blinked. For a moment, she thought she was hearing things.

“Zhan Haoze, are you crazy?”

“Come out.”

“I don’t want to.” s.h.i.+ Mengwan’s voice was full of anger. “Zhan Haoze, that’s enough. Let me tell you, we’re done. There’s no future, and there’s no break-up. No matter what, we’ve never had a good time.”

As she spoke, she hung up. Afraid that Zhan Haoze would call again, she was about to turn off her phone.

At this moment, a message popped up. “Perhaps, you want me to visit your parents?”

“Crazy.” s.h.i.+ Mengwan looked at the message and stopped turning off her phone.

Was Zhan Haoze crazy?

At this time, he wanted to visit her parents? Did he think that the matter wasn’t big enough?

While she was angry, the phone rang again. Looking at the number flas.h.i.+ng on it, s.h.i.+ Mengwan picked it up gloomily.

“Zhan Haoze, that’s enough. What do you want?”

“We didn’t do anything yesterday. You might be pregnant. Do you want me to tell your parents about this?”

“Are you crazy?” s.h.i.+ Mengwan’s face was red. She felt half angry and half shy.

Zhan Haoze remembered to do something, tut the last time yesterday, there wasn’t enough TT. She wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

After the incident, she could only rejoice that it was a safe period. However, s.h.i.+ Mengwan didn’t believe in a safe period at all.

After all, Su Qingsang was a doctor in the obstetrics and gynecology department. She had told her many times that their hospital had all sorts of unwanted pregnancies.

Many of them thought that it was a safe period. But in Su Qingsang’s words, a safe period wasn’t safe either. It still depended on the person.

Zhan Haoze, that b.a.s.t.a.r.d, actually used this to threaten her?

How would she dare to let him go to her parents and spout nonsense? She would basically be digging her own grave.

“Zhan Haoze, don’t go too far.”

“Five minutes.”

Zhan Haoze dropped these three words and hung up the phone.

s.h.i.+ Mengwan was furious. She simply felt that her stomach was hurting. She looked out the window. The sky was gloomy and it looked like it was going to rain.

She gritted her teeth and got up helplessly. She put on her coat and went downstairs.

It was almost midnight. Father s.h.i.+ and Mother s.h.i.+ were all asleep. s.h.i.+ Mengru’s room was at the other end of the corridor. Mother s.h.i.+’s room was in one of the rooms downstairs.

This kind of house that was built by oneself usually had a big hall outside.

s.h.i.+ Mengwan could only rejoice that she didn’t have to be afraid of waking up her parents.

Before she left, she didn’t know if it was due to some supernatural reason or something else, but she picked up her bag and her car keys.

When she went outside, the cold wind that blew against her face made her stagger. After she stabilized her body, she saw a row of luxury cars lined up on the roadside diagonally across from the s.h.i.+ family’s courtyard.

If anyone didn’t wake up and see so many luxury cars in such a small town, they would be shocked.

s.h.i.+ Mengwan closed her eyes and had no choice but to get into the car in the middle.

It was much warmer inside the car than outside. Although s.h.i.+ Mengwan did not plan to stay for long. It was warm inside the car. The headlights on top of her head made her feel a little warm. But that was all.

“Zhan Haoze, what do you want?”

She didn’t come out because she was afraid of him or anything else. She was just concerned about her parents’ thoughts and feelings.

If Zhan Haoze thought that she was afraid of him, then he was really wrong.

To her surprise, Zhan Haoze didn’t seem to be angry. His tone was still gentle.

“Why didn’t you tell me when you went home? You didn’t pick up your phone. I was worried about you.”

Ignoring the concern in his words, s.h.i.+ Mengwan glared at the person in front of her. “Tell you? Why should I tell you? Who are you to me? Where I go and what I do, it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with you, does it?”

Her words today were very blunt, and her att.i.tude was also very aggressive. Zhan Haoze wasn’t quite sure what had happened to s.h.i.+ Mengwan.

They had gradually entered a good state in the past few days, and he thought that her att.i.tude had softened.

“If I remember correctly, I seem to be your boyfriend?”

So now she was saying that what she did had nothing to do with him? Could it really have nothing to do with him?

“Really? Then let’s break up now.”

In any case, he couldn’t be her boyfriend alone, so it was fine if she didn’t want him.

Zhan Haoze narrowed his eyes slightly. He finally realized that something was wrong. “What happened?”

She rushed home in a hurry. Could it be that her grandmother was forcing her to get married again, or asking her to compromise and agree to some conditions?

What happened? s.h.i.+ Mengwan only found it funny. This person had the nerve to ask her what happened?

Shouldn’t this sentence be told to him himself? s.h.i.+ Mengwan wanted to stab him a few times, but she held it back.

She had said too much about Chen Feifei and the others. Her doubts were never confirmed. The following answer was… no, there were some. But after that answer, she always lost some of herself.

She catered to him and accepted everything he gave her. Now, she didn’t want it anymore.

“What can happen to me? I’m just tired of it.”

He wasn’t the only one who would play the game of two-timing outside. If she was given a chance, she would prove it to him. She, s.h.i.+ Mengwan, didn’t need to hang herself on his tree.

Zhan Haoze narrowed his eyes and looked at s.h.i.+ Mengwan’s expression seriously. He was surprised to find that what she said was actually true.

“Tired of it?”

He narrowed his eyes and listened to s.h.i.+ Mengwan’s rather heartless words. He squeezed her hand and his gaze returned to its previous gloominess. “Do you know what you’re talking about?”

“Of course I know.” s.h.i.+ Mengwan withdrew her hand and took a step back. “Zhan Haoze. Please, stay away from me. We’re not compatible.”

She reached out to pull the car door, but found that she couldn’t open it at all. At the same time, Zhan Haoze actually got someone to start the car.

s.h.i.+ Mengwan gritted her teeth and turned to face Zhan Haoze.

“Zhan Haoze, that’s enough. Stop the car for me, do you hear me?”

She was very angry. She reached out to pull the car door, but the car door didn’t budge. s.h.i.+ Mengwan was furious. She raised her foot and kicked at the car door.

Unfortunately, she was thin and weak, so she couldn’t move the car door at all.

s.h.i.+ Mengwan’s sharp temper was on the rise. Not caring if she would hurt her foot, she used both feet to kick at the same time.

Zhan Haoze hugged her waist and signaled for the driver to stop the car.

The moment the car stopped, s.h.i.+ Mengwan bit down on his shoulder.

Zhan Haoze wore a lot of clothes in the late autumn weather. To him, this strength was no different from scratching an itch.

He let her bite him until she had no strength left to bite him. He lifted her body and lifted her up.

“Start the car.”

Zhan Haoze.” s.h.i.+ Mengwan was furious. He didn’t listen to her at all, did he?

Before the car started, Zhan Haoze looked at her and took the bag in her hand. He took out the car keys from inside. He gave his orders and someone quickly came over and took the car keys.

s.h.i.+ Mengwan was furious. “Zhan Haoze, don’t be too shameless. If you really talk nonsense in front of my parents, we can at most fight to the death. You can try.”

“You came out so late with your bag. Didn’t you just want to leave?”

s.h.i.+ Mengwan was extremely angry. Of course she wanted to leave. She would rather return to Lin City and argue with Zhan Haoze slowly than let Mother s.h.i.+ see Zhan Haoze appear.

It wasn’t easy for Mother s.h.i.+ to calm down during this period of time. She didn’t want to argue about introducing a blind date to her anymore.

If she saw Zhan Haoze appear again, it was hard to say whether or not Mother s.h.i.+ would find someone to go on a blind date with her again.

“What exactly are you angry about?”

Zhan Haoze really didn’t understand. They had been fine during this period of time. She had also started to accept him again. What was she doing today?

s.h.i.+ Mengwan didn’t want to talk to him. It was already very late at this time. She turned around and leaned against the back of the chair with her back facing Zhan Haoze, then closed her eyes.

She used this action to silently resist. She wouldn’t answer his questions, much less be with him.

Zhan Haoze looked at her face. It was rare that he didn’t force her to speak like before. He just stared fixedly at s.h.i.+ Mengwan’s face.

s.h.i.+ Mengwan felt Zhan Haoze’s gaze, and her eyes closed even more tightly.

It was just that at first, she was pretending to sleep, but later, it turned into real sleep. No matter what, she was someone who had been driving for a whole day.

In a daze, she really fell asleep.

When s.h.i.+ Mengwan woke up, she was woken up by the ringtone of her phone. On the other end of the phone, Mother s.h.i.+ was very anxious.

“Wanwan, where did you go? Why did your car disappear? Where are you? Where did you drive to this early in the morning?”

Where could I drive to so early in the morning? s.h.i.+ Mengwan wanted to deny it, but she suddenly remembered Zhan Haoze’s appearance yesterday. She was shocked and quickly regained her senses.

She explained to Mother s.h.i.+ that something happened at the factory last night and she returned to Lin City overnight.

Although Mother s.h.i.+ believed this excuse, she lectured her again. She felt that she didn’t care about her health and it was very tiring to stay up late and drive.

But now that she was sure that she was fine, Mother s.h.i.+ said a few words to her and hung up.

s.h.i.+ Mengwan hung up and suddenly realized something. The environment in front of her wasn’t in her apartment in Lin City.

Where was this?
