Zhong Chen's sudden attack caught everyone off guard. Xiao Yun was directly hit and staggered two steps to the side.
When he looked up, there was a hint of embarrassment on his face, and the corner of his mouth was cut by his teeth, oozing blood.
Zhong Chen was even more furious this time than the last time at the Zhu family, but this time Xiao Yun didn't fight back.
After he steadied himself, he casually wiped the corner of his mouth, then looked at Zhong Chen and said, "This punch is my apology."
Zhong Chen was so angry that he laughed: "Where did you, bastard, get such calmness? Don't act like you're the winner."
"Who gave you the guts to secretly pursue my girlfriend? What on earth are you crazy about? What's the reason for doing this?"
However, Xiao Yun always looked calm and said, "Does one need a reason to pursue a girl they like?"
"Actually, you should have realized my feelings earlier than I did. That's why you were annoyed by every contact between me and her during the time before I went abroad."
"I was too slow at that time and didn't realize who I really liked, so I fell behind you. Fortunately, the result was what I wished for."
"A Chen, don't say that I'm competing with you. If I hadn't gone abroad, she might not have chosen you."
Zhong Chen was so stimulated by Xiao Yun's words that his head buzzed. He looked at the other person's confident face.
It seemed as if he had returned to the eve of this guy going abroad. In the confrontation between him and Shen Ying, this guy had mixed in with an inexplicable stance and identity.
And he got along with her harmoniously and familiarly. They could even joke and play around, which was something Shen Ying had never done with outsiders.
There was even an unspoken secret between them. It was just that all these threats and contradictions disappeared with Xiao Yun going abroad.
But now it seemed that the problem had never disappeared. Instead, it had come back more violently.
At that time, Zhong Chen didn't even realize why he was angry, but now he understood, understood why he had felt angry, vigilant, and a sense of crisis back then.
He was afraid that their good impressions of each other would further develop, and he was afraid that they would get together.
However, what he was afraid of had happened. For a moment, Zhong Chen even had an illusion.
It seemed that things had just returned to the original track, and he was just a short-lived accident.
So Zhong Chen looked at Shen Ying, and with a deep look in his eyes hiding extreme uneasiness, he asked, "If this bastard hadn't gone abroad back then, would you have chosen me or him?"
Shen Ying didn't even think: "Of course it would be you."
Zhong Chen let out a long, subtle, and slow sigh of relief. Looking at Shen Ying, his eyes immediately became as sweet as honey.
But Xiao Yun's face changed. He looked at Shen Ying gloomily and said in a low voice, "Now I'm your boyfriend."
"Have you considered my feelings when you said such things to your ex - boyfriend in front of me?"
Both of them knew very well why he was angry. So although he said so, Shen Ying of course knew that this guy was warning her about the so - called moral obligation of their relationship contract.
A look of apology appeared on Shen Ying's face: "It's been less than 24 hours since we broke up. It's understandable that I'm still heart - broken and reluctant about my ex - boyfriend, right?"
Zhong Chen immediately followed up and said, "Why are you questioning her? You're the one who stole someone's girlfriend. Do you have the nerve to question whether there's someone else in her heart?"
Xing Jiale said to Gong Zhaoxi speechlessly: "Damn it, he's fighting so fiercely with A Yun but manages to absolve that guy."
But Xiao Yun was determined to break the two of them up and was no pushover.
He smiled at Zhong Chen and said, "You're right. I really need to give her some time to get over it."
"Even though they only dated for less than a month - sorry, it's said that you two broke up once during that period."
"Even if the total duration of your relationship was only about a week, it was still a relationship after all. I'll accompany her through this."
Zhong Chen had never experienced Xiao Yun being so heart - wrenching before. He was so angry that he wanted to fight again.
This time, Xing Jiale and Gong Zhaoxi were well - prepared and stopped him in advance.
Seeing more and more people gathering around and almost no one in the whole school remembering to go to class, the two quickly dragged them away and pulled them all the way into the lounge.
After entering the lounge, they separated Zhong Chen and Xiao Yun far apart, originally to prevent them from fighting.
But before they even sat down, Zhong Chen said, "A Ying, come here. Let's sit together."
Xiao Yun ignored him and pulled Shen Ying towards the other side.
Zhong Chen grabbed Shen Ying's other hand, and the two of them were in a stalemate like this.
Seeing that the two were about to tear her in half, Shen Ying quickly flipped her wrist, used the force to pull the two of them closer, then held one hand of each and the three of them sat down closely side by side.
Shen Ying sat in the middle.
Xing Jiale was furious when he saw this scene: "What are you doing? Afraid they won't fight?"
Shen Ying replied, "Since we're going to talk, it's better to be more intimate and easier to communicate."
"If you keep them so far apart glaring at each other, and I'm the only one here. No matter who I sit with, someone will be dissatisfied. Are you afraid they won't fight?"
Xing Jiale was at a loss for words and immediately sneered, "You're speaking as if it has nothing to do with you?"
"The problem was caused by you. It's not honorable for A Yun to pursue you behind A Chen's back, but don't you think you're also responsible?"
"Since you keep saying you're reluctant and heart - broken about A Chen, then why did you agree to A Yun's pursuit?"
At this time, Zhong Chen's gaze fell on Shen Ying, and he asked anxiously, "Yeah, why did you agree to date this bastard?"
"Didn't I date you first to show my feelings and then carefully arranged a confession before you agreed?"
Shen Ying said, "The situation is different. Now I'm just heart - broken from a breakup. I'm like someone who grabs at a straw when drowning. It's the best time for someone to take advantage of my vulnerability."
"I heard that starting a new relationship is the best way to get over a heartbreak, and he just happened to confess his love, so I agreed."
Hearing this, Zhong Chen suddenly looked up and shouted at Xiao Yun across Shen Ying, "It's still your fault in the end."
"You took advantage of her wavering and uneasiness. When did you become such a scumbag?"
Xing Jiale coolly interjected, "What uneasiness? The uneasiness of receiving five hundred million?"
Zhong Chen said, "Shut up. Could she refuse? Otherwise, it would be the old woman's severe measures. What could she do?"
"She was forced to accept that money."
The three of them were stunned, especially Xing Jiale. He quickly grabbed Gong Zhaoxi beside him and said, "Hold me up. I'm so dizzy."
Even Xiao Yun, who had witnessed Shen Ying's tactics many times, didn't expect that even though he had nominally snatched the girl away, the whole thing still sounded so justifiable from this guy's mouth.
Zhong Chen is such a fool that he has been completely deceived. He never even thought that this guy took money, betrayed their relationship, and then turned around to date someone else.
Then Xiao Yun said, "So what are you going to do? Even if you make a scene now, the fact that you two have broken up remains unchanged."
"You'd better think about how to deal with your mother first. Since she paid a price of five hundred million, she definitely won't tolerate any lingering relationship between you two."
"If you keep pestering here, it will only cause trouble for her. You don't want Mrs. Zhong to go to her house again, do you?"
Zhong Chen's face changed, and his look at Xiao Yun was full of hostility.
He also knew that every word this bastard said was the truth. He also understood that this guy just wanted to keep him away from Shen Ying.
But at this moment, he couldn't help but consider these things.
The old woman never gives people a second chance. If she goes to her house again, the consequences could be unimaginable.
Moreover, as she said, he couldn't blindly resist without a strategy. Otherwise, he might be forcibly sent abroad. If that happened, he would have to watch helplessly as this bastard Xiao Yun did whatever he wanted.
So Zhong Chen stood up. His cold gaze fell on Xiao Yun, and then he said to the other two, "Jiale, Zhaoxi, from now on, don't talk to Xiao Yun anymore."
Xing Jiale was about to say something when Gong Zhaoxi beside him stopped him.
Gong Zhaoxi shook his head and said, "Forget it. Let it be for now. Anyway, it's hard to sort things out at the moment."
Xiao Yun also stood up and said to Shen Ying, "Let's go. It's awkward to stay here now."
Shen Ying didn't refuse. Before going in and out of the door, she asked Zhong Chen, who was full of unwillingness, "Let me ask first. Will the rift between you two brothers not affect our friendship? Can I still use the lounge?"
"And the lunch on the second floor. Am I still allowed to come up?"
Xiao Yun and the other two were once again shocked by this woman's audacity. After all, the two brothers had fallen out, but this culprit, Shen Ying, didn't seem to be affected at all.
But Zhong Chen, that fool, still looked at her affectionately and blamed himself, saying, "What are you talking about? How could I take it out on you?"
"But don't really take this backup as your boyfriend. Dump him quickly."
Shen Ying said, "That's not good, right? I just agreed to be with him. It would be too hurtful to change my mind now."
Zhong Chen said anxiously, "Don't my feelings matter? Didn't you just say that you were reluctant to part with me?"
Shen Ying nodded reluctantly and said, "I'll try my best. I'll try my best."
"But if you can't handle your mother, then you have no right to urge me, right?"
Zhong Chen thought it made sense. No matter how angry he was, he could only watch the two of them walk out resentfully.
They didn't stay in the lounge for long, but by the time they came out, the whole school already knew the news that Shen Ying had taken five hundred million, dumped Zhong Chen, and then got together with Xiao Yun.
When Shen Ying entered the classroom, the looks in her classmates' eyes were a complex mix of seeing her as a world - class gold - digger. Many people even had a look of awe.
After all, it's not easy to get money from a wealthy family. Many famous actresses in the entertainment industry have to give birth to children desperately to get more money when they marry into wealthy families.
What is Shen Ying compared to those well - known people? She isn't even an adult yet.
She's just a high - school student, but she can extort hundreds of millions from the Zhong family at once. Those so - called shrewd gold - diggers outside would cry if they heard about it.
If her deeds were made public, they would surely make the global headlines. So for the time being, no one even dared to talk to this terrifying girl.
Even Shen Zuola didn't come to pick a fight with her today.
After a day of being gawked at, Shen Ying packed her schoolbag and planned to go home.
She didn't ride her bike to school today, so she definitely had to ask Xiao Yun to take her home.
But not long after she left the classroom, she was pulled into an empty laboratory by a hand.
Shen Ying looked back, and it was Zhong Chen who had pulled her in.
She smiled and said, "What's up? I still have to go home."
Zhong Chen said discontentedly, "How do you plan to go home?"
Shen Ying replied, "My boyfriend will take me."
Zhong Chen gritted his teeth and said, "You really consider that bastard as your boyfriend.
"No, you can't get too close to him. Fortunately, I anticipated this. Right now, Xing Jiale is holding him up.
"I'm not convenient to take you, so I've found a reliable person to take you home."
Shen Ying asked, "A reliable person? Who?"
At this time, Gong Zhaoxi strolled in, waved at Shen Ying with a smile and said, "Me!"
