Chapter 276 - This Is Love

Shen Sisi was originally pure and refined, like a little fairy who had accidentally fallen into the mortal world. At this moment, the marks on her face were blue and purple, revealing a beauty that had been destroyed. When she looked at Zhuang Li with tears in her eyes, she looked especially pitiful.

“Are you telling me that this is an allergy?” Zhuang Li narrowed his eyes dangerously, and anger surged from his chest. “Who did it?” he asked. Who was so bold to have the guts to touch his woman?!

“I didn’t mean to lie to you.” Shen Sisi’s eyes were red. She forced a smile and said in a low voice, “It’s nothing. The matter is over. Let’s order some food and eat.”

“Who was it?!” Zhuang Li grabbed Shen Sisi’s wrist, his eyes were burning with anger as he said domineeringly, “No one can bully my woman!” Although he was extremely disappointed in Shen Sisi many times, he could not help but want to care about her. He wanted to keep her by his side. After getting together with Shen Sisi, other women seemed to have become dull in his eyes. This was probably ‘Love’ as people called it. Zhuang Li laughed self-deprecatingly.

“It’s... It’s Shen Hanxing...” Shen Sisi hesitated for a long time before she stammered out a name. Just as she finished speaking, tears flowed down her cheeks. “Yesterday, Shen Hanxing came to our house for dinner and caused a huge ruckus at home. She even made CEO Ji hate the Shen family. Zhuang Li... What should I do? I’m really scared. The Shen family’s company is Daddy’s hard work. If CEO Ji makes a move against our company, we...” she sobbed, and tears started to fall from her red eyes, making her look even more pitiful.

Shen Sisi’s words were not considered lying. She only cut down the main point of the matter, leaving behind an ambiguous version. Zhuang Li automatically imagined the plot based on her words. He thought that Shen Hanxing was bullying Shen Sisi because she had Ji Yan’s support. He immediately slammed the table in anger. “How dare she!”

Shen Sisi was the person that he, Zhuang Li, protected. Shen Hanxing bullied her again and again. Did she think that he was dead?! In his rage, Zhuang Li assured Shen Sisi, “Don’t worry, I will definitely not let anything happen to you. I will definitely not let anything happen to the Shen family. I will take care of everything.”

“This... would it be too troublesome for you?” Shen Sisi hesitated. She intuitively shook her head and refused. She said, “Zhuang Yu is still fighting with you for control of the company. I can not give you any trouble at this time. It’s fine. If CEO Ji really makes a move against our family, it will be our bad luck...” she sobbed as tears flowed down her cheeks. She softly said, “Who asked the Shen family to be so weak? We are like ants in the eyes of the Ji Corporation and can be suppressed at will.”

“B*stard!” Zhuang Li was furious. “No matter how powerful Ji Yan is, how powerful can he be in S City? Don’t worry, with me around, I will definitely not let you suffer.”

“Zhuang Li, you are so kind.” Shen Sisi was moved and threw herself into Zhuang Li’s arms. “I will be joining the production team next month. Don’t worry, I will definitely work hard to get your grandfather to acknowledge me.”

Shen Sisi entered the entertainment industry not to compete with anyone for fame, but to give herself a layer of gold. Her scheming methods could not make her gain Elder Zhuang’s favor. Elder Zhuang had always had a grudge against Zhuang Li for being with her, so she needed to become more worthy in order to gain Elder Zhuang’s approval.

With Shen Sisi’s intentional pandering, she and Zhuang Li had a deep affection for each other, as if they were in a passionate love affair.

The teachers of Si Cheng High School marked the papers very quickly. The results of last week’s exam were released on Tuesday. With the bet between Shen Hanxing and Bai Ling, the honor roll had yet to be posted, there was already a large number of students looking forward to the results. There were even people who posted on the school forum at the same time. There were even some busybodies who created a voting post, choosing whoever they supported. Most people chose Bai Ling to win, while Shen Hanxing’s side only had a few scattered votes.

......

Seeing the big difference in the voting data, Shen Sisi almost laughed out in ridicule. The bruise on her face had not disappeared. The wide mask covered most of her expression, only revealing a pair of curved eyes. She seemed to be in a good mood.

“Shen Sisi, what are you looking at? Why are you so happy?” A classmate called out to her from behind. “In a while, the honor roll will be out. Do you want to go and take a look? See what kind of results Shen Hanxing will be getting?”

“With Shen Hanxing’s results, she probably can’t even get on the honor roll, right?” A classmate laughed out loud and mocked, “A person who dropped out of high school for two years still wants to get on Si Cheng High School’s honor roll? What a joke!”
