Chapter 454: Another Child Popped Up?

Men are animals driven by their lower halves; even if the cousin-in-law isn't touching her for now, it doesn't mean he won't in the future.

She went to school and lay on her desk crying during class.

When the teacher asked what was wrong, Liang Yu said directly that she was homeless.

In any case, she couldn't possibly sleep on the street, so now she could only see who was kind enough to take her in.

After all, when people are well-fed, they like to show off their fine qualities, such as kindness.

She still remembered when she lived with her aunt and uncle, her aunt would tell everyone in the village about every bite of food she ate and every cent she spent at home, actively trying to show off her own generosity and kindness, and even hoping to use this to be elected as the director of the Women's Federation.

The teacher was stunned after hearing this, and not just the teacher, even the whole class was stunned.

The first thing that surfaced in everyone's hearts was sympathy.

Only Shen Yuan thought she deserved it; a little bitch like Liang Yu who loved backstabbing people deserved to be homeless, otherwise, she would surely bring disaster to whoever's house she stayed at.

The teacher thought for a moment, "Alright, student Liang Yu, stop crying for now. Later, the teacher will discuss with your head teacher and the Principal to see what should be done."

"Okay, thank you, teacher." Tears still hung in Liang Yu's eyes, "If there's no place to stay, I might just have to sleep in the classroom at night."

The dormitory at school requires a fee.

Shen Chi was heartbroken; he was willing to pay the dormitory fee for Liang Yu.

He believed that if his parents knew it was for the future daughter-in-law to have a place to live, they would definitely be willing to pay this money too.

When class ended, Liang Yu was very polite in the face of her classmates' concern, thanking them one after another.

She would not take the initiative to say she wanted to stay at anyone's house; that would make her seem cheap.

First of all, being homeless was not her fault; it was all the fault of those two dog-like people who gave birth to her.

She hoped those two dog-like people weren't dead yet; once she found them, she would definitely play them to death.

Before school ended, the teacher and the school finally discussed a solution.

Temporarily let Liang Yu move into the school dormitory.

As for daily necessities and living expenses, the Principal indicated he was willing to provide personal sponsorship.

Upon learning this news, Liang Yu first expressed her gratitude with great emotion.

In a place where no one could see, however, the corners of her mouth curled into a mocking smile.

She knew that within three days, this good deed by the Principal and the school would appear in newspapers and various reports.

They could be considered as each getting what they needed, so she didn't need to be too grateful.

As soon as school was out, Shen Chi came to show his concern for her.

"Why won't your cousin-in-law let you live at her house anymore?"

Shen Chi was very indignant.

"Because I went out to play with her daughter and fell into the river, and now her daughter still hasn't woken up," Liang Yu observed his reaction with great interest.

"How can that be blamed on you?" Shen Chi immediately focused on the point in her words, "Her falling into the river was her own carelessness, yet your cousin-in-law kicked you out of their house—isn't she worried about you having no place to eat or sleep? That is truly excessive!"

This kind of unconditional favoritism finally made Liang Yu have some different feelings for Shen Chi.

She asked again, "What if she fell into the water because of me?"

A flash of shock crossed Shen Chi's eyes, but he quickly stammered, "Th-then, you surely didn't do it on purpose, right?"

"No." Liang Yu's lies came right off her tongue, and she blinked her eyes innocently, "Of course not."

She didn't do it on purpose; she did it intentionally.

A fool as kind as Xiangxiang was bound to die sooner or later; better to die early and be reincarnated.

"I will protect you and help you from now on," Shen Chi promised.

He took out his living expenses, keeping only twenty yuan, and gave the other fifty-plus yuan to Liang Yu.

"Take this money to spend first, and tell me when you run out."

Liang Yu did not stand on ceremony; she took it and put it in her pocket.

"You're so good to me!"

She said to Shen Chi, "Close your eyes."

Shen Chi's eyes trembled slightly, then he obediently closed them.

After a while, he felt a touch of softness against his cheek.

Shen Chi felt his heart begin to beat wildly.

"Alright."

"Let's be a couple?" Shen Chi gathered his courage to say.

Liang Yu shook her head, "We are still students; we should study hard and not be distracted."

"I can wait." Shen Chi wanted to say that with their grades, what difference did it make whether they were distracted or not.

However, he truly loved Liang Yu; even if he was rejected for now, it didn't matter. He believed that one day Liang Yu would be moved by him, as long as he treated her even better.

He wanted to become rich; treating someone well couldn't just be done with words. Shen Chi felt he had to use practical actions to show it.

Love is ethereal and needs to be grounded in reality to be seen.

For this reason, he began to give Shen Dazhuang and Wang Daniu a cold shoulder.

These two people were extremely selfish; it was bad enough they had no ability themselves, but now they were also hindering him from reuniting with his capable biological parents.

Did they want to drag him down for a lifetime?

Besides, his biological mother had said that he was kidnapped by human traffickers back then, and they had been looking for him all these years.

What did they do wrong?

"Our son seems unhappy," Wang Daniu said, heavy with worry, "Is it because he thinks we have no ability and wants to acknowledge his real father and mother?"

"I raised him—was it to raise him for someone else?"

Shen Dazhuang also held a belly full of anger, "It's all your fault, you stinking woman! I said back then to just hack them to death, but you insisted on stopping me! Now it's fine, you've caused us to lose our son's heart; let's see how you clean up this mess!"

"You only know how to bully your own family!" Wang Daniu said, snot and tears streaming down her face. "Back when you were locked up in the police station, didn't you almost wet your pants from fear too?"

"In my opinion, we might as well give in to his wishes and let him acknowledge them! He's so old now, he'll be getting a wife and having children soon. If that side has money, let them pay; it'll save the child from hating us later."

"Impossible, not unless I'm dead!" Shen Dazhuang slammed the door in a rage, only to return a moment later. "Give me some money!"

Shen Dazhuang had taken all the money his eldest daughter brought home last month; he was determined to turn his luck around with a gamble today.

Inside the room, Shen Chi heard their argument and wished Shen Dazhuang would hurry up and die, just as he had said himself.

In any case, he was a useless person who did nothing but gamble.

On the other side, Shen Yuan was also eavesdropping on her parents' conversation, just like Shen Chi.

She hadn't originally intended to eavesdrop on the two of them, but lately, they had been acting sneaky and hiding things from her whenever they spoke; it was obvious they were keeping something from her.

This couldn't help but make Shen Yuan recall all the strange behavior Li Xuan had shown when she went to find Shen Chi before.

Their voices drifted through the crack in the door, "It must be someone from their school. Starting today, we'll guard both school gates; we'll definitely be able to find them! She can't stay inside the school forever, can she?"

"How about we let those two children, Shen Chi and Shen Yuan, look for them?"

"No, Shen Chi is fine, but Shen Yuan won't do. Have you forgotten how we were almost hacked to death by Shen Dazhuang last time?"

"She will only ruin things."

Shen Yuan quietly left the doorway. Who were her parents trying to find? And someone at her school, no less?

Could it be that Li Xuan and Shen Lan had popped out another child? Alarm bells rang instantly in Shen Yuan's heart.
