Chapter 54 The Runaway Female Lead with a Pregnant Child × Domineering CEONeighborYounger BrotherVil
It's not a big deal, just a patch of red marks, nothing serious.
The school doctor prescribed some topical medication, which Sheng Shi said was unnecessary.
But Lin Yue felt really guilty. In the end, it was her fault. She was preoccupied and didn't look around properly while walking.
Besides, it's so heavy, who knows what would happen if it hit me?
"I'm sorry, I've dragged you into this."
Her tone was full of careful apology.
Sheng Shi didn't know why her heart was still racing at this moment.
Before he could decide what to say, Lin Yue's phone rang.
She glanced at the caller ID and her expression changed.
She looked up apologetically at Sheng Shi, then took a few steps away to answer the phone.
He returned a short while later, looking somewhat embarrassed.
"Um, I have something to take care of..."
"Okay, go ahead and do your thing, I'm fine."
Sheng Shi responded blankly, only realizing after the person had walked away that he hadn't had time to add her contact information or even ask her name.
Annoyed, he plucked a handful of leaves from the tree beside him.
......
When Lin Yue arrived at the school gate, Sheng Ze was waiting for her. After getting into the car, the atmosphere became quiet for a moment.
Seeing the person sitting next to me not saying a word, I felt a little scared.
She didn't go to stay there, hoping against hope. Anyway, he said he wouldn't go there often, so he would probably let her know if he went. She was thinking that it wouldn't be too late to go then.
"Well, I've been quite busy with school lately, with lots of classes, so it's not convenient."
Lin Yue was not good at lying, and her voice grew weaker and weaker.
I have your class schedule.
Sheng Ze, without even looking at her, exposed her lie, leaving Lin Yue speechless and only able to remain silent.
They arrived at their destination shortly after, and Lin Yue followed him blankly.
Looking at the private room in front of me, I felt a little timid.
Shengze suddenly stopped and took her hand.
He instinctively tried to pull it out, but he was no match for its strength.
"You don't need to speak or listen later. Just nod at whatever I say."
His explanation was very businesslike. Lin Yue thought about the contract and nodded reluctantly.
As they pushed open the door, the peaceful atmosphere inside seemed to freeze for a moment.
Seeing the unfriendly stares from the crowd, Lin Yue instinctively hid behind Sheng Ze.
He noticed that his palm tightened, as if to comfort him.
The parents of the Sheng family and the parents of the Gu family had already arrived, and their daughter Gu Mingyue had also arrived. Only Sheng Ze was missing. The original plan was for the two families to meet together to finalize the intention of the marriage, and then proceed with the formalities.
Shengze was already quite disgruntled, but then Shengze came, and with this girl in tow. This was truly outrageous.
Mr. Sheng's face turned ashen.
Sheng Ze seemed oblivious, glancing around, "Uncle Gu, my dad probably didn't tell you, this is my girlfriend."
As he spoke, he pulled Lin Yue forward.
Lin Yue nodded stiffly and smiled.
"You! You bastard! You're going to drive me crazy!"
Mr. Sheng got up, wanting to beat this disobedient son to death, but Mrs. Sheng quickly stopped him.
Lin Yue flinched in fear, and Sheng Ze noticed.
"You guys enjoy your meal. I have something to do, so I won't be able to keep you company."
After saying that, he took Lin Yue's hand and left, completely ignoring the chaos that followed.
As a result, Gu Mingyue chased after them and blocked their way with a resentful look.
"Shengze, why don't you want to get engaged to me!"
She has everything: looks and family background. Everyone has doted on her since she was a child, but Sheng Ze has repeatedly embarrassed her.
He glanced at the timid girl beside him and thought, "Vixen!"
He looks so poor and pathetic, how can he compare to her? Has Shengze lost his mind?
Lin Yue was suddenly scolded and looked at her with a pout, feeling wronged.
Shengze, impatient, said, "Get out of the way."
His expression was too cold, and Gu Mingyue was even angrier at being treated like this, but she didn't want to fall out with Sheng Ze, so she could only glare at Lin Yue with a fierce expression.
Lin Yue was glared at by her, and tears welled up in her eyes, and she cried.
In Gu Mingyue's eyes, this was definitely the behavior of a scheming, manipulative woman.
As she watched Sheng Ze lead the man away, a venomous glint appeared in her eyes.
Lin Yue was taken back to her home next to Yunnan University by Sheng Ze.
She knew she was being used as a scapegoat, but it was within the scope of the contract terms, and she suddenly felt that she hadn't gotten the money easily, and it wasn't like she was getting something for nothing.
Shengze just wouldn't leave; he stayed in the living room outside, busy with something, which gave her a real headache.
He hid inside the house, too afraid to go out, and would occasionally peek through the door to eavesdrop.
I feel like it's better for them not to face each other; it's too awkward.
Lin Yue waited until she fell asleep. When she woke up, it was almost dark, and it was quiet outside.
I'm not sure, should I go?
I tiptoed out the door, only to find Shengze sitting with his eyes closed at the outdoor dining table, where dinner was laid out.
Looking at the neatly arranged bowls and chopsticks on both sides, I hesitated for a moment before going over to sit down.
Sheng Ze opened his eyes, and Lin Yue immediately lowered her head and looked away, acting strangely for some reason.
Whether it was because of the custom of not speaking while eating or sleeping, Shengze didn't say anything, which relieved her, and she ate her meal in silence.
Lin Yue ate slowly, and Sheng Ze's gaze was so obvious that she couldn't ignore it even if she wanted to.
I quickly finished eating and put down my chopsticks. I felt that it was really impolite of me to have kept my promise to stay here without telling him before, and to have been avoiding him since I came back today.
Especially since dinner was already prepared when I woke up, although judging from the young master's arrogant manner, he probably asked the housekeeper to cook it.
After hesitating for a moment, I said, "Thank you."
After saying that, she got up to wash the dishes.
"How can I thank you?"
Sheng Ze's sudden question left Lin Yue at a loss for words. How could she thank him? She could only say thank you.
"I'll go wash the dishes."
"Auntie can do it." The implication was that she didn't need her help, and besides, this wasn't really a thank you.
The atmosphere suddenly turned cold.
Lin Yue was at a loss for what to do, but fortunately, a phone call from Sheng Ze saved her.
Seeing him get up and walk away, Lin Yue hesitated for a moment, then picked up the bowl and chopsticks and headed to the kitchen.
Auntie, auntie, if auntie can do it, why can't she? Her sense of equivalent exchange tells her that she can feel more at ease after washing the dishes.
So, after the first plate broke on the ground, she was startled and quietly squatted down to clean up the scraps.
Sheng Ze, who was on the phone, frowned slightly as he walked in, helped her up, and gestured for her to leave.
His phone call seemed to last forever, and Lin Yue was suffering terribly. After waiting for a while without it ending, she felt that she shouldn't listen to other people's calls, so she silently went back to her room.
When she came out again, Shengze had already called people to clean up the mess. Seeing that everything was fine, Lin Yue felt guilty and afraid that he would hold her accountable later, so she tiptoed back to her room and closed the door.
Fortunately, Shengze didn't cause her any trouble, which relieved her.
Lin Yue was a little troubled that he was living here, but it was someone else's house, so she could stay if she wanted and have another roommate.
Besides, he said he wouldn't come often. Today is a special case. He can sleep it off and then he won't have to face this oppressive feeling when he wakes up.
Lin Yue glanced at her phone balance and comforted herself, thinking of it as just a job. She got paid, and although the client was a bit eccentric and she didn't want to deal with it, at least she got the money and didn't have to do a part-time job anymore.
