Chapter 2: Letting Go and Getting a Bit Shortchanged

In the white, hazy dream, anger surfaced on Liu Yue's face.

That bastard — not only didn't he save me, he wants to spend my money.

The worst part is, he wants to spend my money on foot massages, on a big health spa visit.

Anger rapidly filled Liu Yue's entire body.

"Damned bastard, put my money down."

Liu Yue suddenly sitting up gave Wang Ma and Li Sao a huge fright.

"Holy shit, you sat up."

Shen Mo, who had only walked a short distance away, heard the sound and rushed back, and was stunned staring at Liu Yue sitting on the bed gasping for air.

【Oh my god, my life of spending my wife's money on foot massages hasn't even started and it's already over.】

Hearing that voice, Liu Yue whipped her head around, glaring viciously at Shen Mo — this was the bastard who'd said he wanted to spend her money on a big health spa visit.

"Old Li, I told you the son-in-law definitely came specifically to save Miss. Look, just married, and Miss is already better."

Wang Ma was so moved she was weeping.

Novels are true, they don't lie to her.

Li Sao, also weeping beside her, said: "That's right, that's right. The son-in-law just wouldn't admit it earlier because he wanted to hide his merit and fame."

Liu Yue and Shen Mo's faces both darkened at the same time.

Still, Liu Yue extracted the key information — she was married, and this man who wanted to spend her money on a big health spa visit was her husband.

Thinking of this, Liu Yue began sizing up Shen Mo. He was fairly good-looking, a completely different type from her former fiancé.

If Shen Jiayun was a noble scion of a great family, then Shen Mo was purely handsome.

"Um… um, hello, I'm Shen Mo, the husband the Shen Family used to replace Shen Jiayun for the marriage alliance with you."

As he spoke, Shen Mo also fished out of his pocket the marriage certificate Liu Xinhua had given him today.

Liu Yue looked at the marriage certificate stamped with the steel seal, and her face rapidly darkened.

Damn it, that damned old man tricked her out of her money.

She still knew about the marriage fund her grandfather had left her.

"Miss, now that you've woken up, should I notify the Master?"

Wang Ma piped up from the side.

Liu Yue said without hesitation: "Tell him, and tell him to come over immediately."

She had to get her money back.

Wang Ma took her phone and went out to make the call.

Shen Mo scratched his head, stepped aside, and waited to watch the show.

Li Sao handed a cup of water to Liu Yue, and began massaging her body to help relieve the muscle tension.

【The vegetative wife just woke up right after the wedding — am I going to get kicked out of the house?】

【Sigh, I haven't even spent my wife's money yet, experienced what it's like to be a kept man.】

【But luckily, I've made quite a bit from this round too, enough to lie flat for the rest of my life.】

【Speaking of which, Liu Yue and I didn't sign a prenup. If we divorce, could I still get a share from her?】

【Just thinking about it is beautiful.】

【When the time comes, I'll take the money back to the county town, renovate Grandma's barbecue shop, and I'll be able to live a retired life.】

【Ah, beautiful days are waving at me.】

The more Shen Mo thought about it, the happier he got.

Liu Yue, who was organizing her thoughts on the bed, had an increasingly gloomy expression.

This bastard — badmouthing her right in front of her face, that was really too much.

"Shut up."

A sharp rebuke made Shen Mo freeze.

"I… I didn't say anything."

【Are you crazy, I didn't say anything.】

Liu Yue froze. Hmm? Then what was she hearing?

Li Sao said in a panic: "Miss, is your body still not recovered? Should we let the son-in-law take another look at you?"

Hearing this, Shen Mo rolled his eyes and complained helplessly: "Don't be ridiculous, I really don't know any earth-shattering arts."

Liu Yue narrowed her eyes at something, her red lips slightly parted: "Get out."

Shrugging, Shen Mo decisively left.

He could see things very clearly.

Liu Yue had Li Sao help her get dressed, and supported her downstairs.

Six months of vegetative life had left her body very weak. If the Liu Family hadn't been rich enough to hire servants to massage her and maintain her muscles, she would be in a state of a complete invalid right now.

When Liu Yue came downstairs after changing, Wang Ma had already prepared a table of light dishes. Shen Mo was sitting at the dining table eating while playing with his phone.

Liu Yue snorted coldly in a bad mood, walked over, sat down, and began eating as well.

They had only eaten halfway when the roar of a car came from outside the villa.

Within a few minutes, Liu Xinhua appeared with a group of doctors in white coats.

"Daughter, you're finally awake."

Seeing Liu Yue eating, tears instantly streamed down Liu Xinhua's face, and he was about to rush over for an embrace.

Then……

Liu Yue pointed her chopsticks straight at Liu Xinhua and said calmly: "Old man, don't get excited."

Liu Xinhua was a little embarrassed.

Shen Mo instantly showed a melon-eating expression.

【There's melon.】

Hearing Shen Mo's inner thoughts again, Liu Yue couldn't be bothered to respond, and instructed Wang Ma: "Take the doctors my dad brought and send them away."

Boom.

Another roar of a car engine sounded, and within a few seconds, Shen Yilong and Shen Jiayun walked into the Lin Family.

Shen Jiayun, who had just arrived at the Lin Family, saw Liu Yue and excitedly said: "Yueyue, you've finally woken up."

He was truly excited.

His fiancée was finally no longer a vegetative.

Immediately after, Shen Jiayun saw Liu Yue pointing at Liu Xinhua with chopsticks, and instinctively said: "Yueyue, your uncle has been running around for your condition during this period, how can you point chopsticks at your uncle."

The tone of reproach was heavy.

Liu Yue tilted her head and sneered coldly: "This ex-fiancé of mine, from what position are you lecturing me?"

The word "ex" was bitten heavily. Shen Jiayun's face instantly went white.

Shen Yilong behind him sighed, shook his head, and said softly: "Yueyue, why don't you eat first, and we'll talk after you've finished."

Liu Yue nodded. Shen Jiayun, Liu Xinhua, and Shen Yilong sat down on the sofa, and Li Sao served them tea.

The seated Liu Xinhua's eyes flickered with a complex light.

At the dining table, Shen Mo secretly sized up Liu Yue—this woman six years older than him had an incredibly powerful aura.

【Ahhhhhhh, I'm so happy, I'm actually on the front line of a wealthy family's melon-eating scene today.】

Liu Yue also secretly sized up Shen Mo—this fiancé she had never met before seemed quite interesting.

Unlike the other wealthy family heirs Liu Yue had come into contact with, Shen Mo didn't seem to have so many schemes.

Ten minutes later, Liu Yue finished her meal and walked toward the living room sofa.

Shen Mo looked left, looked right, found no one paying attention to him, and followed along.

The living room sofa in Liu Yue's villa was arranged with three sides surrounding a tea table.

Liu Yue sat directly opposite Liu Xinhua, with Shen Yilong and Shen Jiayun on the side sofa. Shen Mo wanted to sit next to Shen Yilong, but...

"Sit next to me."

Liu Yue's cold voice interrupted Shen Mo's movement.

Shen Jiayun hesitantly spoke: "Yue..."

Liu Yue didn't look at him, stared at Liu Xinhua, and said bluntly: "Shen Mo is my legally registered husband."

Seeing Shen Jiayun unhappy, Shen Mo suddenly felt pleased inside.

All these years, no matter how open-minded he was, he still held grievances toward the Shen Family. Now that Shen Jiayun was unhappy, he naturally felt happy.

Shen Mo plopped down next to Liu Yue.

Liu Xinhua saw this scene, sighed slightly, and said softly: "Yueyue, now that you've woken up, there are some things I can tell you..."

Liu Yue impatiently interrupted him and said directly:

"Hand over all the money grandfather left in the fund to me, and additionally subsidize me with three billion, and I'll transfer all my shares in the Liu Family Group to you. I'll withdraw from the Liu Group."

"From now on, whether you give the Liu Group to your illegitimate son or illegitimate daughter, I don't care."

Liu Xinhua was utterly stunned.

Shen Yilong beside him sighed.

Shen Mo was thrilled inside.

【Holy crap, it's really a big melon. Liu Xinhua, known as the good man of the wealthy circle, actually has illegitimate children.】

Liu Xinhua frowned tightly and said: "Yueyue, you're my only child, how could I possibly hand the group over to outsiders."

With a disdainful snort, Liu Yue said coldly: "Dad, stop pretending."

"Something happened to me, dare you say it wasn't done by your illegitimate children?"

Liu Xinhua still wanted to say something, but seeing Liu Yue's cold expression, he shut his mouth again, only opening and closing his lips before saying gloomily: "Fine."

"But you'll need to give me some time."

Seeing this, Shen Mo couldn't help roaring inside.

【Holy crap, judging by that attitude, the so-called good man Liu Xinhua is actually a scumbag.】

Seeing the Liu Family's internal discussion end, Shen Jiayun hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Yueyue, I want to talk to you."

Liu Yue glanced at him and said coldly: "Talk about what?"

"Talk about how while I was in a coma, you didn't think about saving me, and hurriedly married me off to someone else to help my dad extract the money grandfather left me, so you could profit from it?"

"Or talk about how you actually love me, but the family fortune is too generous, and you're unwilling to give it up for love."

"Or talk about how the vegetative me isn't worthy of you?"

Shen Jiayun was dumbfounded—where did this ferocious attack power come from?

But he still hurriedly said: "Yueyue, I have my difficulties."

Liu Yue laughed, a very mocking laugh.

"Difficulties?"

Shen Jiayun nodded frantically.

Liu Yue sneered: "None of my damn business."

Shen Jiayun was stunned.

Liu Yue continued her mockery: "I don't care what difficulties you have, I only know one thing—I woke up at home, not at the hospital, which proves I didn't receive the best treatment."

"Secondly, when I woke up I was already married, and this marriage benefits my dad, who has always been at odds with me."

"These two points are enough to prove that you, Shen Jiayun, my former fiancé, didn't save me when I was at my most lonely and helpless."

"So, your difficulties are irrelevant to me."

"Li Sao, Wang Ma, see the guest out."

The two nannies who had watched Liu Yue grow up silently came to one side and made a gesture of invitation.

Shen Mo stared dumbfounded at the departure of Shen Jiayun and his group, unable to resist thinking to himself.

【Holy crap, my vegetative wife is so cool.】

【I thought she'd still get entangled with Shen Jiayun for a while.】

【After all, they've been childhood sweethearts since they were little.】

Liu Yue heard this and gave a contemptuous snort.

It was Shen Jiayun who abandoned her first. In the face of facts, if she still went to pester him bitterly, that would be utterly disgraceful. So, letting go is very important.

Thinking of this, Liu Yue's eyes flickered as she looked toward Shen Mo.

What should she do with this husband of hers whose inner voice could be heard?

Shen Mo felt a bit uncomfortable being stared at by Liu Yue.

【Why is this vegetative wife of mine staring at me?】

Thinking and thinking, Shen Mo's train of thought went astray.

【Could it be that after lying down for six months, she's now awake and utterly ravenous, and seeing how gorgeous I am, she wants to take advantage of the fact that we're still married to devour this little virgin of mine?】

Liu Yue sprayed out a mouthful of tea, rolled her eyes, and said speechlessly: "I'm not that desperate."

Shen Mo shot up at once, eyes wide, staring at Liu Yue in disbelief.

【This woman can hear what I'm thinking?】

Liu Yue felt a little panicked inside, but on the surface she elegantly wiped her mouth and said calmly: "Little brat, you're too easy to read."

However, Liu Yue began to size up Shen Mo.

Not a bad figure. If he weren't a bit weak right now, she really could consider giving devouring him a try.

After all, thinking about how she had almost died without ever having slept with a man, Liu Yue felt a bit shortchanged.
