You are all bad women! Don't come over!-Chapter 82 - 80: Undermining (3/5)

"I wouldn’t dare not to save you. Otherwise, if something bad happened to you, your family would definitely not let me off the hook!"

Shen Mochen’s heart raced a bit as he turned his face away, deliberately saying so.

Catherine shook her head: "That might not be the case, they might even thank me."

"Uh, speaking of which, this bread looks really good, how is it made..."

"In our country of Romany, illegitimate children have no rights of inheritance, so in the Alexandrov Family, I am currently the only heir, and it is likely to remain that way in the future. Although my father dotes on the little bastard he had with his mistress, as long as I am not dead, he and his bastard will never have a chance. My mother had some difficulties during childbirth and has always been cold to me; she and my father have long since lost their affections for each other, but it’s just that the traditional customs in Romany are quite against a mother leaving her child to remarry. She maintains this marriage begrudgingly for the sake of the aristocratic reputation and public opinion. As long as I am alive, they will not be happy. My death would actually be a kind of relief for them."

"Okay, okay, stop talking, I’ll eat, I’ll eat, is that alright?!"

Shen Mochen grabbed the bread and devoured it greedily.

I deliberately changed the subject just now because I didn’t want to hear this—damn it, this is way too heavy! How is anyone supposed to handle this!

"You are really a good person," Catherine said with a smile, looking at Shen Mochen warmly, "I knew it. As long as I tell you about my family, you would definitely feel sad for me."

"...Are you tricking me?" Shen Mochen struggled to swallow the bread and glared at her.

Catherine rested her hands on her chin, smiling as she enjoyed Shen Mochen’s rough eating style: "If you hope so, then so be it."

"Don’t tell me these things next time..."

Shen Mochen sighed deeply; his own life was already a mess, yet he still couldn’t bear to listen to other people’s troubles.

"If you don’t like to listen, then I won’t say it in the future."

Catherine didn’t take it to heart and just smiled softly.

Shen Mochen glanced at her, feeling inexplicably guilty.

At that moment, his phone rang. The caller was Liu Bo. Shen Mochen gestured to Catherine to be silent and then answered the call.

"Hey, Shen Mochen, where are you? I seem to have not seen you around these past few days," Liu Bo asked.

"I’ve found a quiet place to self-study," Shen Mochen replied.

"Just by yourself?"

"Oh, yes, just by myself."

Liu Bo sighed, "Don’t be too upset about this morning’s issue, I understand you!"

In his heart, Shen Mochen thought: You understand nothing; I’m on cloud nine. But he couldn’t be bothered to explain and just nodded noncommittally.

Liu Bo continued sympathetically, "Ah, it’s also good for you to be alone for a while, after all, it’s a chance to date the Princess daily. If it were me, I’d be distressed too!"

Ah, right, right, right... Shen Mochen looked at Catherine’s seemingly smiling expression and nodded even more weakly.

"Eh, I didn’t expect the Princess to be so heartless. She didn’t even ask and just dismissed you from your position. Did you do something to offend her?"

"Not at all," Shen Mochen said, "Maybe she got mad because I hugged her."

"Really stingy, holding her wouldn’t cost you anything!"

Shen Mochen hastily stopped the other’s nonsense, "Alright, alright, alright... Anything else?"

"Liu Bo recently made rounds at the entrance to our class, definitely looking for you. I figure she heard about this morning’s incident and wants to take advantage of your vulnerability to comfort you." Liu Bo coughed purposefully, egging on, "Then just go for it, say a few sweet nothings to her, and you’ll definitely win her back. She must have confessed to you because she knew what you looked like beforehand, right!"

"I really have no interest in her, gotta hang up now!"

Shen Mochen, seeing Catherine’s face darkening, immediately hung up the phone. This guy had some nerve, advising someone to chase another girl right in front of his girlfriend. Experience more on novelbuddy

Catherine looked at him calmly.

"Cough cough... Liu Bo is actually a pretty good guy!" Shen Mochen chuckled dryly, setting his phone aside.

Liu Bo, oh Liu Bo, you’re definitely going to die because of your big mouth one day!

"Oh."

Catherine said.

Shen Mochen immediately put his hands together, pleading sincerely, "Please spare his life, just breaking his legs would suffice!"

Catherine knew Shen Mochen was just teasing, but she couldn’t help but smile lightly, "Do I look like that sort of vicious person?"

"Of course, I know you’re not. Liu Bo keeps telling me these days that Kajiena, you’re especially gentle, willing to say hi to him!"

Thank Shen Mochen, Liu Bo, I just saved your life! You owe me a meal next time!

"After all, he’s your only friend, so I try to be as polite as possible," Catherine said with a slight curve of her lips, a smile in her eyes, "What’s the matter, are you jealous?"

"I’m not jealous over something like that..." Shen Mochen said.

Besides, what’s our relationship anyway, why would I be jealous over you?

But now he finally understood why Catherine had been willing to talk to Liu Bo recently—it was Shen Mochen’s fortune that had lifted Liu Bo’s spirits.

"Eh, hold on..." Shen Mochen, who realized belatedly, recalled what Catherine had just said, "What do you mean, ’my only friend’? That makes it sound like I don’t have any friends! I used to have lots of friends, you know!"

Catherine asked curiously, "If that’s the case, why did you come to First Middle School? Even though First Middle School is stronger than Fengye, shouldn’t you feel more at ease at Fengye Middle School?"

Shen Mochen scratched his face helplessly, smiling a bit wryly, "Actually, there’s no special reason, it’s just Yin Caiyu. She probably thinks that First Middle School is the best high school in Gaotang State, with good teachers, quality students, and a variety of extracurricular activities. Then, without discussing it with me, she just transferred me here."

Catherine nodded, "People aspire to climb higher. She’s also doing it for your own good."

Looking at the ceiling, Shen Mochen hung a smile of resignation yet warmth on his lips, "I know, she always tries to give me the best of everything, but she’s not very clever about it, sometimes with good intentions but poor outcomes..."

Catherine fell silent for a moment, "Then why don’t you tell her? Be honest and have her transfer you back to Fengye or some other school."

"Like I can afford that..." Shen Mochen said irritably, touching his face, then whispered, "And besides, she must have paid a significant price to transfer me here. I don’t want her to know I’m not doing so well here."

"Is it really that bad?"

Catherine asked, her voice soft.

Shen Mochen immediately puffed out his chest and lifted his head, "Lately, I’ve been quite happy! It’s all thanks to you, Kajiena, for bringing a breath of life to my dull school days!"
