Chapter 19 - Little Tortoise~

Fei Nancheng did not know how to describe his current mood.

He recalled how fierce he had been, and the girl's face as she felt wronged but determined.

He looked at the department manager. "What else did she say?"

The department manager bowed his head and did not dare to look at Fei Nancheng. He coughed and said, "Miss Shen said that she approached you not because of your money, but because she likes you!"

Fei Nancheng. "..."

While he was dazed, a few WeChat notifications rang from his phone. He glanced at it casually before freezing.

It was a string of messages from Chen Zifan:

[Elder Brother, that ugly woman is out of luck!]

[She provoked several school bullies, and now that group of people is waiting for her to come back to teach her a lesson!]

[Elder Brother, I'll take a video for you later!]

After Shen Yugui left Fei Corporation, she made her way back to school after remembering that she still had classes in the afternoon.

There was still half an hour before class, so she simply went into the classroom and took a seat.

Huaxia University was one of the best universities in the city. The atmosphere in the university was a positive one and the students were full of vitality. There were also couples walking together under the trees.

Shen Yugui watched them while walking into the campus. Her eyes gradually blurred.

She subconsciously lifted the ring from her neck again and lowered her head, fiddling with the red heart. Her eyes gleamed with tenderness. 

She hesitated for a moment with her fingertip on the button but suddenly stopped.

There was a flash of loss on her face as a sharp pain spread over her heart.

From the day she decided to go to the Fei house, she was no longer worthy of this ring.

"Congxin!"

A clear and crisp voice suddenly sounded by her ear before she was slapped on the shoulder. Then, a lovely face appeared in front of her. The girl's long hair was tied behind her head in a ponytail as she blinked at her

.

Shen Yugui knew her. She was her elder sister's only friend in the school, Zhang Qianqian.

Zhang Qianqian grabbed her arm and chatted as they walked. "You haven't been at school these past few days. I've been so bored. Have you finished whatever you needed to do? Are you coming back to the dormitory tonight?"

Shen Yugui lowered her head and silently put the ring back before saying, "No."

She wanted to go home to accompany Yu Manyu. She could not leave Yu Manyu scared and alone at home.

Although Zhang Qianqian thought that her friend was being a little quiet today, Shen Congxin always acted gloomy when she was unhappy, so Zhang Qianqian paid no mind to her behavior. The two of them entered the classroom together.

There were not many people inside, but Chen Zifan was already seated in the corner. He typed out code rapidly on the laptop in front of him. He seemed to be compiling something.

Zhang Qianqian whispered, "He signed up for this year's National University Information Security Competition, so he's working really hard recently."

Shen Yugui raised her eyebrows at this.

'Who knew that chuuni boy would get so motivated for something?'

Chen Zifan seemed to have hit a roadblock and stopped typing. He pulled at his hair and frowned. 

The boy next to him could not help but say, "Boss, our design is already top-notch. The teacher already said that it's impossible to optimize that part."

However, Chen Zifan grew grumpy. "If it were a Tortoise, he'd definitely be able to do it!"

The boy was confused. "Who's Tortoise?"

Chen Zifan rolled his eyes. "You don't even know who Tortoise is? I'm sure you've heard of his Chinese name before. It's Wu Gui!"
