Shu Yu was just about to take out her phone to collect the money.
Iron Egg suddenly screamed, [Ahhhhh, don't collect it, don't take out your phone, Yu baby, your ATM is right opposite you, he seems to be testing you.]
Instantly, a cold sweat broke out on Shu Yu's back. In that moment, she didn't even know where to put her hands, nor did she dare to look up at the person opposite her.
She was terrified that if she met Si Yiheng's gaze, he would recognize her.
However, Shu Yu's hand was already reaching out, the movement clearly intended to grab her phone.
If she suddenly pulled it back, it would look very suspicious.
Shu Yu decisively lowered her hand and picked up a bag of cucumber-flavored potato chips, which she hated the most.
Shu Yu: Σ(-`Д´-ﾉ；)ﾉ
Shu Yu took the chips, turned around, and walked away unhurriedly. This series of actions was almost flawless, leaving no room for suspicion.
But at this moment, Shu Yu's heart was weeping. She should have grabbed the tomato-flavored chips; you can never go wrong with tomato flavor.
Cucumber-flavored chips taste terrible.
Shu Yu asked Iron Egg in her mind, "Why is he so sharp?"
"Haven't we never met?"
Iron Egg was also shocked, [Maybe it's because of the photos you sent him. He has seen your hands and your legs.]
Shu Yu was even more shocked. What kind of monster was Si Yiheng? He could remember something just by looking at it once.
Iron Egg: [What if he didn't just look at it once.]
Shu Yu: w(ﾟДﾟ)w
Shu Yu looked at Iron Egg with a somewhat resentful gaze, "Isn't he supposed to keep his distance from women? Isn't he supposed to be ascetic?"
Iron Egg was silent for two seconds before giving an answer, [What if he just simply has a good memory.]
Shu Yu accepted the second explanation. The male lead's setting was indeed having a photographic memory.
The novel might take away the male lead's affinity with his parents and family, but it gave him a brilliant mind, an unforgettable memory, countless wealth, and astonishing work ability.
Iron Egg: [It seems we can't send pictures to the male lead anymore.]
Shu Yu spoke slowly, "Do you think Si Yiheng has dispelled his suspicion of us now?"
"We used to collect money the second it was sent."
Iron Egg wanted to scream even more. Yeah, wouldn't not collecting the money also cause suspicion?
Iron Egg's CPU spun crazily.
Shu Yu: "Iron Egg, let's hurry home. We'll go home and put on a Band-Aid. We'll pretend to be injured. Then it will be perfectly reasonable that we didn't see Si Yiheng's message and didn't collect the money immediately."
Si Yiheng clearly saw the little girl opposite him preparing to reach into her bag for something.
Just when he thought he was about to confirm that the person opposite him was Shu Yu, the little girl picked up a bag of cucumber-flavored potato chips.
Si Yiheng frowned. Was he mistaken?
After the little girl left, Si Yiheng also continued to grab the things he needed.
The red envelope, however, remained uncollected for a long time, causing Si Yiheng to feel a bit of suspicion again.
However, just as he was checking out, a new message popped up on his phone.
A Little Fish Swimming: Image.jpg
It was a photo of a hand.
In the photo, a beige Band-Aid with a tiny cartoon cat printed on it was stuck to the girl's fair middle finger.
Si Yiheng stared at the Band-Aid for two seconds, then clicked on the second message.
It was a voice message.
Si Yiheng played the voice message.
Shu Yu's voice came from the phone, carrying a heavy nasal tone and a distinct crying sound: "Si Yiheng, my hand hurts."
Shu Yu's voice sounded muffled and exceptionally pitiful.
Like an injured kitten unable to find anyone to comfort it, shedding tears of grievance.
Si Yiheng quickly paid the bill, put his things in the car, and got into the driver's seat, only to suddenly remember that he didn't know where Shu Yu lived.
ATM: How did it happen.
Shu Yu sent over a voice message, "Just now while cooking, I got scalded by the steam."
ATM: Hmm.
Si Yiheng was just about to ask where Shu Yu lived so he could take her to the hospital, but a phone call came in.
There was a problem with the experimental samples, and he needed to go resolve it right now.
ATM: Transfer 100,000.
ATM: I have some things to deal with and can't come to take you to the hospital. Go see a doctor yourself.
Shu Yu and Iron Egg instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
Shu Yu asked Iron Egg: "Egg, is it really okay to do this?"
Iron Egg: [No problem. That sample had issues to begin with. I just changed its location, allowing Si Yiheng's junior to discover the problem with the sample ahead of time.]
Shu Yu felt reassured upon hearing this.
Iron Egg: [Baby, quickly blame him, throw a tantrum, tell him you feel wronged. Even though it's a bit dramatic, it perfectly fits your character setting.]
Shu Yu completely agreed with Iron Egg's words. Right now, the more unreasonably she acted and the more self-righteous she sounded, the less likely Si Yiheng would suspect her.
Maybe she could even squeeze a bit more money out of Si Yiheng.
Shu Yu sent a voice message, "Si Yiheng, you are really so busy."
"Do you know how much pain I'm in? I'm in pain, and you're not even by my side."
Shu Yu's voice was choked with sobs, seemingly quite aggrieved.
Si Yiheng's heart felt as if it had been tugged by Shu Yu's words.
Si Yiheng's large, well-defined hand rested on the car's steering wheel, his fingers tapping gently against it, his knuckles distinct and prominent.
He did not choose to immediately drive away to the laboratory.
ATM: Transfer 1,000,000.
ATM: Sorry.
Shu Yu covered her mouth, the corners of her lips turning up wildly. She almost cried out in surprise. Not sorry at all, it's one million!
Si Yiheng was truly a very generous boyfriend. Shed a few tears in front of Si Yiheng, and Si Yiheng would give money.
There is a saying online that the weight of a tear depends on whose heart it falls upon.
Shu Yu now felt that this saying was perfectly interpreted by Si Yiheng.
No matter who shed tears under the title of Si Yiheng's girlfriend, this ATM named Si Yiheng would fiercely spit out money.
Having made enough of a fuss, Shu Yu stopped acting up.
She softly sent a voice message to Si Yiheng, "I know you're very busy. Go do your work."
"I can take good care of myself."
The little girl's voice still carried a bit of a nasal tone, soft-spoken, and her words were very understanding.
Si Yiheng's heart felt as if it had been gently scratched by something.
ATM: Hmm.
Si Yiheng drove to the school.
School gate
Shen Qinghan was about to return to school when he happened to see a woman pulling people aside to ask about something.
Shen Qinghan didn't pay much attention, but just as he was about to leave, he heard the woman ask, "Could you help me call Shu Yu?"
Shen Qinghan unconsciously slowed his pace.
He heard the female student the woman had grabbed say that she didn't know Shu Yu.
In the small county where Shu Yu grew up, some people might know her; after all, Shu Yu was admitted to University A as the top scorer.
But in University A, which was full of talents, Shu Yu wasn't considered anything special, and it wasn't strange that students didn't know her.
Shen Qinghan walked up to the woman, a smile on the corners of his lips, "Auntie, what are you looking for Shu Yu for? What is your relationship with her?"
Mother Shu could tell that Shen Qinghan was no ordinary person.
She immediately smiled and stated her identity, "I am Shu Yu's mother."
Mother Shu said with tears in her eyes, "Little Yu has no conscience. I raised her to be this big, but she is so heartless towards us relatives."
Shen Qinghan: "I know Shu Yu's boyfriend. I can take you to find him."
Shen Qinghan did not believe Shu Yu at all. She claimed her father was hit by a car and that she had given her parents 1.5 million.
Shen Qinghan did not believe a single word of it.
He had given Shu Yu a chance to get close to Si Yiheng, but not only did she deceive Si Yiheng and fleece him out of so much money, she also treated her own family like this.
Whatever little curiosity Shen Qinghan had for Shu Yu completely vanished the moment he saw Mother Shu.
A gold digger like Shu Yu simply did not deserve his curiosity.
Today, he was going to bring Mother Shu right in front of Si Yiheng so that Si Yiheng could see Shu Yu's true colors.
Smiling, Shen Qinghan said to Mother Shu, Auntie, I know Shu Yu, but she does not live on campus anymore. Her boyfriend is at the school, though. I can take you to find him.
Whatever you need to say to Shu Yu, you can tell her boyfriend, Shen Qinghan hinted.
Mother Shu's eyes darted around. If she could not find Shu Yu, finding her boyfriend would do just fine.
Either way, that wretched girl Shu Yu could forget about abandoning their family to live a good life all by herself.
Si Yiheng had just arrived at the laboratory when he bumped into Shen Qinghan. He also noticed the forty-something-year-old woman standing next to him.
Si Yiheng's voice was cold. Do you need something?
The corners of Shen Qinghan's lips curled into a smile as he explained, This is Shu Yu's mother. She could not find Shu Yu, so I brought her to find you.
Si Yiheng's gaze fell upon the woman. She was dressed flamboyantly in clothes plastered with exaggerated logos, but she could not quite pull the look off. It gave off the distinct impression of someone who had recently come into sudden wealth.
Her eyes were also somewhat evasive, as if she lacked confidence.
Si Yiheng nodded. Auntie, please wait here for a moment. I will let Xiao Yu know that you came to the school looking for her.
Mother Shu was very satisfied with this answer. However, Si Yiheng had such an intimidating aura that she did not quite dare to make any demands of him.
She would just wait for Si Yiheng to call Shu Yu over; then, she could threaten Shu Yu directly.
She did not believe for a second that Shu Yu would refuse to give her money if she threatened her. Could Shu Yu really bear to lose a rich catch like Si Yiheng?
Si Yiheng entered the laboratory and made a voice call to Shu Yu.
This was the first time Si Yiheng had ever initiated a voice call with her.
Shu Yu also had not expected him to contact her this way.
Her heart almost skipped a beat as she asked softly, What is wrong?
Si Yiheng's deep, magnetic voice sounded, Your mother is at the school. Let's meet up and have a meal with her.
