Chapter 295: Shen Yuan Got Divorced
"Bai Mo, how can you be so thick-skinned?" Jiang Siyu, worried that her brother might be momentarily muddled, immediately spoke up, "Our family doesn't have any extra space for you to live in!"
She used to feel that Bai Mo was actually quite decent, even though she always carried an inexplicable air of arrogance.
But now that things had turned out like this, it was just annoying.
She certainly didn't want such a person moving into their home.
Her brother was a boy and cared about his reputation, but she didn't.
Bai Mo shot Jiang Siyu a glare, "I am asking your brother a question; please do not be so aggressive."
Jiang Siyu was different from her; she wasn't an only child, and once she married off in the future, she would have nothing to do with the Jiang Family. The Jiang Family still belonged to Jiang Sinian, so what right did she have to stop her from staying?
"You!" Jiang Siyu's eyes widened in anger; she wished her gaze could turn into sharp arrows and pierce Bai Mo. When had she ever been aggressive?
This Bai Mo was becoming more and more annoying; she was even trying to shift the blame!
She hoped her brother wouldn't be bewitched by her.
"Is it okay? Sinian?" Bai Mo asked again.
Jiang Sinian shook his head, "No."
"Why?"
"Because we have absolutely no relationship now, Bai Mo. We have already broken up, to the point where we can't even be friends anymore. In the future, it would be best not to say these ambiguous, annoying things again."
After saying this, Jiang Sinian took Jiang Siyu's hand and left.
Jiang Siyu felt incredibly satisfied inside. She really wanted to turn around and make a face at Bai Mo, but upon seeing Bai Mo's tear-streaked face, she hurriedly turned her head and pulled her brother's hand to walk even faster.
She's crying, she's crying; we have to leave quickly so we don't get blackmailed.
"Brother, you were just so cool back there!" Jiang Siyu praised, "She really is something else; I don't know what she's thinking, wanting to move into our house? What would others say in the future?"
"But didn't her mother dote on her very much? How could she bear to leave her behind and return to the countryside?"
When they reached the bottom of the school building, the siblings ran into Shen Chi.
He was riding a motorcycle, as if waiting for someone.
They walked past without looking sideways.
In the classroom, Kong Nuo had returned. He wanted so much to invite his sister to live at his home; not only could he be closer to her, but he could also take good care of her.
But thinking of his cramped, low-ceilinged house and the single bedroom partitioned into two, he couldn't bring himself to say it.
Jiang Sinian really wasn't a man.
If he had that many rooms and such good conditions at home, he would have proactively invited his sister to live with him without her even having to ask.
"Sister, don't be sad."
Kong Nuo's comfort didn't make Bai Mo feel much better.
She swept all the books on her desk onto the floor, then began to cry with her head on the desk.
"You go first; I want to be alone for a while."
What exactly was wrong with Jiang Sinian? She was such a proud person; she had already lowered her status and even written an apology letter, so why was he still unwilling to forgive her?
After she said she had nowhere to go, the Jiang siblings had actually just walked away like that.
It was as if they had completely forgotten the friendship they once had on the Haidao.
Where was she supposed to live tonight?
Kong Nuo's heart ached from her crying, and just as he was about to comfort her, he saw Shen Chi walk in.
His shoulders shrank.
"Get lost!" Seeing that only the two of them were in the classroom, Shen Chi knew that this Kong Nuo was once again a toad lusting after a swan.
As a man himself, he could naturally discern the feelings in Kong Nuo's eyes toward his daughter; they were not familial, but the feelings between a man and a woman!
This little beast who disregarded human ethics!
Kong Nuo suppressed the hatred in his eyes, shouldered his backpack, and turned to leave.
Shen Chi walked slowly to his daughter's side and comforted her softly, "Alright, stop crying. Come home with Dad!"
Bai Mo raised her teary eyes and looked at Shen Chi before her.
Once, she had hated Shen Chi, even after she learned that she shared the same blood as him.
At that time, she was the little princess held in the palms of the Bai Fu and Bai Mu, living a smooth and happy life.
But now, Bai Mu had returned to the Bai family's ancestral home, as if she no longer had a daughter.
At first, she thought Bai Mu was just too heartbroken over the sudden passing of Bai Fu, and that she would think of her daughter before long.
But now, seeing her leave just like that, even selling the house without considering her future life at all, Bai Mo's heart had also turned cold.
Going back with Shen Chi was fine; besides, she had nowhere else to go at the moment.
At the same time, she had another thought: once she became Shen Chi's daughter, Bai Mu would surely regret it when she saw it.
And if Bai Mu didn't care about her daughter, let's see what she does when she needs someone to support her in her old age!
"Dad, is it back to the new house you bought for me?"
This "Dad" from Bai Mo made Shen Chi's heart bloom with joy.
"Yes! Back to the new house Dad bought for you!" He helped Bai Mo take her backpack, "What do you want to eat tonight?"
Bai Mo had been eating at her aunt's house for the past few days and wanted to try something else.
"I want to eat McDonald's."
"Then we'll go eat McDonald's!" To save money to buy his daughter a house, Shen Chi had been eating steamed buns with pickled vegetables for days and never dared to go to a restaurant, but he couldn't bear to let his daughter suffer with him.
It seemed he would have to earn more money.
Bai Mo ate her McDonald's as she wished, and after seeing the new house, she was very satisfied.
"It's just been renovated. Later, when Dad saves up some more money, I'll take you to look at furniture."
Shen Chi felt satisfied looking at his daughter's smiling face.
"Mm, when the time comes, I'll have this largest master bedroom renovated into your princess room!"
Bai Mo also preferred this master bedroom because it faced the sun; she liked the feeling of sunlight shining on the bed, but since Shen Chi had bought the house after all, she still modestly said, "Dad has worked hard, so Dad should live in this big room, and I'll just live in the small room."
Seeing her so sensible, Shen Chi felt even more gratified, "It doesn't matter where Dad lives, as long as you are happy."
He had made up his mind to let his daughter live in the big room.
However, they hadn't bought furniture yet, so there was only an old wooden bed and a folding cot in the room.
Shen Chi let his daughter sleep on the bed, while he made do for the night on the other folding cot.
Even so, Bai Mo still slept feeling physically uncomfortable all over.
She was used to sleeping on soft beds, and sleeping on this kind of wooden board bed for the first time, she felt as if all her bones were about to be crushed.
In the morning, after dropping his daughter off at school, Shen Chi went to set up his stall again.
This time he brought even more fruit.
"Shen Chi, you've brought so much, can you sell it all?" a fellow vendor asked.
Shen Chi smiled, "I have a child to raise, so I'm prepared to work overtime to sell it!"
There were quite a few pedestrians at the intersection at night, so he could earn a bit more this way.
"Don't push yourself too hard, your health is the most important thing!" To the advice others gave, Shen Chi only shook his head and said nothing; he wanted his daughter to live a good life.
Thus, Shen Chi began a life of setting up his stall day and night, resting only four hours a day.
Shen Yuan got a divorce.
Having nowhere else to go, she naturally returned to her brother's place.
When Bai Mo came back from school and saw her aunt there, she felt a bit guilty and whispered a greeting to her aunt.
