Chapter 479: What If I Threaten You With My Own Life?

After she ran off, swaying her waist, Li Mu felt as if his heart had run off with her.

It was itchy, and he couldn't wait to pull her into his arms and cherish her properly.

Li Mu thought this and did just that; he ran out and hugged Liang Yu outside the coffee shop, "Xiao Yu, I love you, let's get married!"

"After we're married, I will definitely make sure you live a good life with me!"

Liang Yu's small hand drew little circles on his back, "What kind of good life?"

"Whatever you want to eat, you can eat; whatever you want to do, you can do." Li Mu was carried away at this moment and wanted to promise everything.

"I want to learn to drive," Liang Yu asked him, "Can I? I've seen Jiang Sinian's mother drive, and I want to be like her, able to drive a car wherever I want to go."

A car wasn't just convenient; the key was that she thought hitting someone would probably feel quite satisfying too.

"Sure, I'll let you drive my mom's car!" After Li Mu agreed, he felt a bit uneasy in his heart.

It seemed he had made some sort of incredible promise.

At this moment, for some inexplicable reason, the words of warning he had received from Jiang Sinian before they had a falling out surfaced in his mind.

You can't outplay her.

Could it be that Liang Yu was only with him because of his family's car?

No, no, it must be that he was overthinking it; Xiao Yu loved him.

She was even worried that she wasn't good enough for him; if he hadn't chased after her, she might have already run far away.

Inside the coffee shop.

Jiang Siyu and Jiang Yue watched the pair of lovers entangled together outside the window.

"Uh, are they together?"

She couldn't control her gossiping gaze, "But, I remember she was with that guy named Shen Chi before, right? Could this be a love triangle?"

"Who cares how many sides the triangle has, it has nothing to do with us," Jiang Yue took a small sip of coffee, "School is starting soon, come with me to buy a schoolbag; my old one is too small."

"It's not too small, it's just old! You fickle woman." Jiang Siyu drank the remaining coffee in her cup, "I want to buy a new schoolbag too."

When they walked out, they saw that Liang Yu and Li Mu had already ducked into the small woods by the road.

……

The Pinminku.

Shen Yuan circled twice before finding Zhu Yun; she had vaguely guessed from the previous conversation between Nainai and Shen Lan that Shen Lan likely had an unusual relationship with this Zhu Yun.

"Mr. Zhu, hello."

Shen Yuan squatted down and saw him lying on an old bedding that had long since lost its color.

Zhu Yun removed the book from his face, looked at her, and asked, "What is it?"

"I've come to get some medicine from you."

She took two hundred yuan out of her pocket and handed it to Zhu Yun, "This is for the medicine."

Zhu Yun recalled in his mind and figured this must be Shen Lan's daughter.

She was actually more capable than Shen Lan; she even knew to bring money when coming to him for medicine.

Enough for him to go gamble a couple of small rounds.

Not bad, not bad.

"What kind of medicine?"

"Medicine that makes a person lose consciousness for a short time." Shen Yuan didn't want to kill anyone; if her life were burdened with a human life, she worried she would feel guilty for the rest of her days.

Zhu Yun frowned, "Did your dad send you?"

"Yes." Shen Yuan lied.

"Isn't your dad still in the hospital?" Zhu Yun naturally knew about the fire at the Shen residence.

Still in the hospital and already coming out to harm people again?

"Yes, he is still in the hospital, but he already knows who harmed him," Shen Yuan said unhurriedly.

Zhu Yun was surprised, "It wasn't an accident?"

That meant it was arson; it seemed someone wanted Shen Lan's life.

Although he didn't know if Shen Lan was truly his son, Zhu Yun still gave the medicine to Shen Yuan.

"I only have this kind of medicine on hand right now; you must grasp the timing well, the effect will slowly dissipate after half an hour."

"Okay, thank you."

Shen Yuan put the medicine away and walked out of the Pinminku without haste.

Her grades were about the same as Jiang Yue's; she would definitely be able to get into Huaiyang No. 1 High School together with her, just like in her past life.

There was still plenty of time; she would eventually find an opportunity to administer this medicine.

Shen Yuan's prediction was correct; when the results came out, all of them had been admitted to Huaiyang No. 1 High School with excellent scores.

Meanwhile, Liang Yu, Shen Chi, and Li Mu had all failed to get into high school.

Shen Lan looked at the two children in front of him, so angry that he couldn't catch his breath even with his oxygen mask on.

The combined scores of these two children didn't even add up to Shen Yuan's alone; were his and Li Xuan's genetic traits really that poor?

It was fortunate that Li Xuan was already dead; otherwise, if she saw these two children being so unpromising, she would have been angered to death as well.

"Since you didn't get into high school, what do you plan to do in the future?"

Shen Chi: "Vocational school."

Liang Yu: "Get married."

Shen Lan???

Shen Chi???

The father and son spoke in unison, "Who are you marrying?"

"Li Mu, he has already proposed to me." Liang Yu found their reactions somewhat amusing, "His family's intention is that after we get married, I can help out at the restaurant."

"When did you make so many plans?" Shen Chi's reaction was even greater than Shen Lan's, "Why didn't I know anything about this? No, I don't agree."

Shen Lan looked at his son, then looked at his daughter.

Of two evils, choose the lesser.

Marrying another boy was better than being entangled with her own brother at home.

"I agree."

Shen Lan gave Shen Chi a warning look, "You just focus on your technical school."

"Has the Li family mentioned the betrothal gift?" Shen Lan asked again, mainly because he didn't know how much money would be needed in the hospital, and Shen Chi also needed tuition for technical school.

"No, Dad, will you prepare a dowry for me?" Liang Yu asked him in return.

This left Shen Lan speechless.

In fact, the Li family was prepared to give a one-thousand-yuan betrothal gift, but Li Mu had given it directly to Liang Yu.

Of course, it was impossible for Liang Yu to take it out for Shen Chi, that bottomless pit.

Since she was small, the people around her always said that girls were of no use.

So Liang Yu decided to make herself of no use at all.

She would keep the betrothal money to buy herself delicious food and beautiful clothes; she just wouldn't spend a single cent on men—who told them to be so useful?

Once they were out of the hospital room, Shen Chi grabbed Liang Yu's wrist, "Xiao Yu, I won't allow you to marry him."

"Reason."

Shen Chi said, "I love you, I don't want you to marry another man."

"How much is your love worth?" Liang Yu smiled mockingly, "Can it let me live in a big house? Can it let me drive a car? Li Mu can."

Shen Chi just shook his head, his voice trembling, "But, you don't love him at all."

"No one in the class doesn't know that Li Mu is very unfaithful; have you forgotten about him confessing to Jiang Siyu? I would rather you marry Jiang Sinian; at least when you looked at him, there was light in your eyes."

"I want to too, but Jiang Sinian isn't willing," Liang Yu's gaze softened slightly as she looked at him, "Brother, we should both be more mature; for the current me, Li Mu is the best choice."

"If you really miss me, you can still be with me often in the future," Liang Yu's words were full of implication, "We are siblings, others won't suspect us."

Shen Chi still couldn't accept it, and he pleaded, "Can you not marry anyone? Even if it's for my sake."

"No."

"What if I threaten you with my own life?" Shen Chi said with a bitter smile.
