Chapter 178: Shen You Is Not the Daughter of the Shen Family?
Shen You lay on the bed, trying her best to suppress herself and not to scream.
Shen You was not a fool. It was not that she did not remember and think about every encounter she had.
However, for Shen You, her past life had been too hard. She only hoped that she could live a simpler life this time!
“Don’t you understand? You need to straighten everything out before you can truly live comfortably!” The system’s voice faintly sounded.
Shen You opened her eyes and looked at the familiar ceiling in front of her. “Second System, does life have to be so full of disasters?”
The system’s voice sounded immediately. “Not everyone’s life is so exciting!”
Shen You’s expression became gloomy and sad. “I don’t want anything exciting, I just want simple happiness!”
The system sighed and said, “Your goal now should be to live…”
“Then why do so many things bother me?” The more Shen You thought about it, the sadder she became.
The system sighed again. “These are the reasons why you can’t live well!”
“I’m not going to beat around the bush with you. I just want to know, how can I get rid of these things?” Shen You yelled impatiently.
“You can’t get rid of them!” The system replied mercilessly.
“These are the trajectories of your life. You have to accept them!” the system repeated.
“Just like you in your previous life. You accepted fate and the arrangements of life,” the system said simply. “But, you didn’t avoid the bad luck that they brought!”
“So, I hope that you can figure out what it means to live a simple and happy life!” the system’s voice sounded a little disappointed.
Shen You closed her eyes again. Her mind was in a mess.
Huo Xiao returned home, sat at his desk, and hesitated with his phone.
The Shen You today was very different from the Shen You in the past.
She revealed too much unwillingness and sadness in front of him. The pain in Huo Xiao’s heart was indescribable.
And most importantly, the one who brought Shen You this pain was himself!
Huo Xiao did not go downstairs for dinner, which made Lin Shu a little anxious.
She knocked on Huo Xiao’s door and waited for a response before pushing it open and walking in. “Why aren’t you eating? Are you not feeling well?”
Huo Xiao shook his head, still full of thoughts.
Lin Shu looked at Huo Xiao and frowned deeply. “It’s because of… the girl from the Shen family?”
Huo Xiao looked up at Lin Shu. “Mom, do you know about Shen You?”
Lin Shu frowned even more. “I have advised you not to get involved in that girl’s matter!”
“The status of our Huo family is different. This kind of thing will only tarnish the Huo family’s reputation!” Lin Shu emphasized again.
Huo Xiao looked at Lin Shu and for the first time, he felt that this kind of mother was a little strange.
“Mom, you’ve never talked about the Huo family’s reputation before.” Huo Xiao looked at his mother with disappointment.
Lin Shu paused for a moment and then said, “This time, it’s different!”
“Son, you have to remember to stay away from the Shen family!” Lin Shu could not help but remind him.
She reached out and gently put her hand on Huo Xiao’s shoulder. “There are many things that are not as simple as you think.”
“I don’t want you to get involved in this. And I don’t want you to be hurt!” Lin Shu looked at Huo Xiao and said with heartache.
Huo Xiao paused for a moment and then asked again, “Is it because Shen You is not the daughter of the Shen family?”
Lin Shu looked at Huo Xiao in surprise. She did not expect him to know about this. “How… How do you know?”
Huo Xiao shook his head and smiled bitterly. “Because she’s the one I like.”
Lin Shu looked at Huo Xiao’s affectionate expression and suddenly felt that her son had grown up!
