Chapter 31: Chapter 31 Malnutrition. Chapter 31: Chapter 31 Malnutrition. …
Having jogged back and forth twice, Shen Mianmian was covered in a layer of cold sweat and was gasping for breath. She carried down the rest of the books from the car.
“Big Brother He, I’ll take good care of these books, and I’ll return them to you once I’m done reading them.”
These books, having been kept for so many years, might hold some sentimental significance to him.
He Nan had wanted to say that the books were of no use to him anymore, but what came out was, “No rush.”
He took another glance at Shen Mianmian, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, his voice colder by a few degrees, “You lack nutrition.” He stated his opinion very directly.
Considering her age, she should be over one meter fifty in height, but she wasn’t even reaching one meter fifty yet.
Shen Jianhua was over one meter seventy, and from a genetic standpoint, she shouldn’t be so short.
He had an aura of authority that was not angry but commanding, which could make others feel oppressed. Shen Mianmian was somewhat afraid of him. Now, with his expression growing colder, Shen Mianmian was even more frightened.
She knew he was pointing out her height.
“I, I also want to grow taller.”
Seeing her stuttering and her head nearly buried in her neck, He Nan realized a fact—she was afraid of him.
He pursed his lips slightly, softening his tone somewhat, “Go back and do your homework.”
In Shen Mianmian’s view, there wasn’t much change in his tone, her muscles tensing involuntarily until the car left, slowly relaxing afterward. Having lived two lives, it was only in his presence that she had observed that sort of innate authority.
Being in his early twenties and possessing such an aura, it was no wonder Licheng couldn’t retain such a lofty figure.
In her past life, He Nan had moved to Beijing two years later, and she had never seen him again. Many years later, she had glimpsed him on the news… She vaguely remembered it was at a disaster relief scene, where he had brought several trucks of supplies…
At that time, he was radiant, causing an online sensation, but no one knew his identity.
Taking advantage of her rebirth, Shen Mianmian was confident she could lead a good life, but becoming someone like him was something Shen Mianmian didn’t yet dare to dream of.
When she arrived home and stepped into the entrance hall, she heard Zhou Lanfang’s voice complaining. Shen Mianmian ignored it, carrying her books into her room, but Zhou Lanfang called after her. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚·𝔫𝔢𝔱
“Where did you get so many books from?”
She and Shen Jianhua were actually treating her like she was invisible. She had complained for so long, and he had sided with Shen Mianmian. Eventually, he simply ignored her, which was infuriating.
If someone told her that Shen Mianmian wasn’t Shen Jianhua’s illegitimate child, she wouldn’t believe it.
Hearing the voice, Zhou Siyu ran out of the house, “Sis, you borrowed books from He Nan?”
Earlier, after Shen Mianmian had left, she had looked through the books on the bed and seen He Nan’s name on them.
When did these two get so close? First, clothes, now books.
Zhou Lanfang only focused on the words ‘borrowed,’ cursing angrily.
“You even run off to borrow books from others. Are you lacking in any way? Are you trying to shout to everyone that I mistreat you? Are you deliberately trying to shame me, is that it?”
Shen Jianhua cared about his reputation and felt that family issues being aired publicly would make them a laughingstock, “Mianmian, why did you go borrowing other people’s books? What about your own books?”
“My books were sold by Siyu to buy snacks.” Shen Mianmian never missed an opportunity to expose Zhou Siyu’s true face.
Over the years, Zhou Siyu had put on a good front in front of Shen Jianhua. If Shen Mianmian were to reveal everything outright, Shen Jianhua surely wouldn’t believe it, so she decided to let him find out bit by bit on his own.
