Chapter 169: That Shackle

"Are you willing to be a dogtail grass?"

Li Yuan sometimes particularly likes Shu Yanlin's gentle and weak personality and has a strong desire to conquer her.

But sometimes I feel that she is too humble.

This is also the reason why he has not taken the money back, because given the environment Shu Yanlin has to face, if she has no money, she will probably be driven crazy.

Her crappy family isn't much better than Qin Si's.

Shu Yanlin nodded, "Yeah."

"Oh shit, how are things going at home?"

Li Yuan got back to the point.

"I...have already taken care of it."

Shu Yanlin spoke without confidence.

This matter was simply beyond her ability to handle.

The current situation is that Shen Anna is being chased and taken away, and now she dares not even step out of the door.

But my parents didn't want to stay in that small apartment, they didn't even have a place to live.

She is currently facing pressure from her parents to buy them a house.

But she has no money!

Although there were more than 8 million in the fund at the beginning, and now there are more than 16 million, that money all belongs to Li Yuan, and she even owes Li Yuan 10 million.

She didn't have the confidence to use Li Yuan's money again.

For now, I can only hold on and buy something every day.

Fortunately, because of her good grades, the school waived her tuition and gave her a bonus of 30,000 yuan.

But that little bit of money couldn't last long.

Everyone knew that as long as she asked Li Yuan for help, not only would Shen Anna’s crisis be resolved, but her parents would also become more approachable and would no longer force her.

But she didn't dare, for fear that this already fragile relationship would collapse.

"As long as it's taken care of, take me to your place later and I'll sleep at your place tonight."

"Ah? I..."

Shu Yanlin immediately began to stammer.

"What's wrong?"

"I... that place is a little small, I'll go back to your house with you, Senior."

"I like small apartments because they give me a sense of security. Where I live is too spacious and lonely."

"But……"

Li Yuan shook his head and just a casual probing sentence made her unable to continue.

If she had a little courage and just lied to me a few times, would I really go that way?

The way I am now, I don't want to go anywhere.

"We first met on this road, right?"

Li Yuan's sudden question made Shu Yanlin a little surprised.

She nodded, "Yeah."

"What was your mentality at that time? Were you very happy to be with your cousin?"

"yes."

"At that time, your parents didn't put any pressure on you, and your uncle was also very good to you."

"Um."

"So do you still want to go back to the past? If you do, I will help you solve your cousin's problem and your parents' problem."

Li Yuan felt a little guilty towards Shu Yanlin, because the conflict itself was not caused by her, but she had to bear most of the pressure.

It's just right that we are even now. From now on, I can ignore her or not and feel at ease.

Shu Yanlin suddenly stopped, lowered her head and remained silent.

Li Yuan waited for a while and found that Shu Yanlin seemed to be crying and her shoulders were shaking slightly.

"Why are you crying?"

Soon, Shu Yanlin asked with sobs: "Senior, do you not want me anymore?"

"What makes you think that?"

"Because I know that my efforts are not equal to what I deserve. In this case, I will definitely throw away something more precious."

Shu Yanlin knew that Li Yuan had the ability, but the problem was that if she really let Li Yuan come forward to settle these things, how could she face Li Yuan? And how could Li Yuan continue to want a guy who had so many troubles that he couldn't even dislike him.

"So, you can't be angry? Once you get angry, you shake my hand off and ask me to comfort you... Who would cry by themselves and still hold someone else's arm? Is the role you play in a relationship so humble?"

After Li Yuan finished speaking, Shu Yanlin remained silent.

He continued, "Even if you don't stay with me anymore, what does it matter? Are you afraid that you won't have enough food to eat in the future? Are you afraid that no one will like you in the future? Without the shackles on you, everything you do in the future will be centered on your will."

"What can I bring to you? I can't actually give you anything."

Shu Yanlin cried even louder, and her tears fell on Li Yuan's arm.

Now she is unable to pretend her emotions.

Finally, Li Yuan said, "It's settled. I'll help you settle those things later so that you can live happily in the future."

Shu Yanlin suddenly hugged Li Yuan's waist tightly and cried, "I don't want it..."

"Hiss... I didn't ask for your opinion, but you have to accept it even if you don't want to!"

Li Yuan felt so much pain all over his body.

This girl...

"No……"

Shu Yanlin is still making her final struggle.

There was desperation in her tone.

She had broken free from one of the shackles of fate, but the other shackles were still on her.

That shackle is called parents.

Shen Anna's situation is actually not that bad. At most, she can just live in that apartment, and I can help her raise a cat, so I don't have to worry too much.

"Come with me, I'll ask the driver to pick me up."

Li Yuan took out his phone and called the driver.

Then he dragged Shu Yanlin towards the school gate.

Shu Yanlin kept backing away, as if the school gate was a bottomless abyss, and she didn't dare to take a single step forward.

Li Yuan was tired and said, "I'm telling you, I'm in so much pain right now. If you keep pulling me back like this, we'll be done with each other and there won't be any chance for us anymore."

Shu Yanlin was frightened.

About half an hour later, Li Yuan, exhausted, finally arrived at the school gate.

He has never walked such a difficult path.

Shu Yanlin was stunned and numb.

When Li Yuan opened the car door and gently pushed her in, she didn't feel anything.

My mind went blank and I looked ahead blankly.

She heard Li Yuan telling the driver that he was going to Soho Apartments.

One can also feel the determination in Li Yuan's words.

Ten minutes later, the car stopped in front of the Soho Apartment.

Li Yuan opened the car door and got out, and found that there was a car parked nearby. Even though it was dark, there were two people chatting and smoking next to the car.

After his car stopped, he kept looking over here.

He pulled Shu Yanlin out of the car and said, "You go up first. Let me take care of the things downstairs. Everything will be normal tomorrow, just like it was three months ago."

Shu Yanlin opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something.

But I couldn't make any sound and could only stay where I was.

"What are you standing there for? Why don't you hurry up and get on?"

Li Yuan urged.

"Senior, can I not go?"

Shu Yanlin said in a pleading voice.

"No, hurry up, this matter must be resolved today."

Shu Yanlin wiped her tears, took a breath, and said, "Well, I'm sorry to trouble you, senior."

After saying that, she turned and entered the apartment.

She knew that turning around meant she had no chance with Li Yuan at all.

After she went upstairs, Li Yuan returned to the car.

As for greeting those people?

What the hell is there to say hello to?

I am not the same kind of person as them.

Moreover, they only targeted Shen Anna and did not dare to take action against Shu Yanlin and her parents, so the matter itself was very simple.

Shu Yanlin just needs to muster up the courage to confront her parents and give them as much as they need.

I can't say it's a permanent solution, but at least it can take away the headache of her parents.

Obviously, Shu Yanlin has no concept of resistance at all, so I can only impose it on her myself.

He had to wait here for Shu Yanlin to come downstairs, so that she wouldn't be too stimulated and become depressed.

…

Shu Yanlin used to complain that the elevator here was slow because there were too many people living here and she had to wait for more than five minutes every time.

During rush hour, there is no seat even after waiting for ten minutes.

But at this moment, she felt that the elevator was too fast.

She unlocked the room with her fingerprint.

The sound of unlocking attracted the attention of the three people inside.

Because the room was too small, her father could only sleep on the floor near the entrance to leave some private space for the two women.

It was not time for a break yet, so the floor mat was not made.

After seeing her come back, she clearly saw the excitement on her parents' faces.

"Linlin, has Li Yuan agreed?"

"He's so rich, he can't let us live in a place like this forever, right?"

"Not to mention the good food and drinks, you are our daughter after all, so he should at least give us a little gift, right?"

"We don't want much, thirty or fifty million will be enough for us to spend the rest of our lives."

As Shu Yanlin listened to these words, the feeling of despair she had just felt came over her again.

She came back from school today and brought them food and some supplies.

Then her parents forced her to go find Li Yuan to solve the problem.

Of course she didn't want to. The relationship between her and Li Yuan was still very fragile. If she kept asking for too much, she would be kicked away by Li Yuan sooner or later.

Then, my parents became unhappy and started to lose their temper.

She endured it again and again, but finally she couldn't bear it anymore and left without even eating dinner.

After that, I met Li Yuan at school.

Unexpectedly, Li Yuan directly sentenced her to death.

Seeing that Shu Yanlin didn't say anything, her parents became anxious again.

"You are a girl, you have already let Li Yuan take advantage of you so much, but you don't want any benefit at all. Are you stupid?"

"Is it because you wanted it and Li Yuan refused to give it to you ? Give me his phone number and I'll call him!"

"Say something, do you want it or not?"

"You want to force us to death, right? You don't even want your own parents anymore?"

"Is it easy for us to raise you to this age? We raised an ungrateful wolf?"

"You must give us an explanation, otherwise we will go to school and make a scene, letting everyone know about you and Li Yuan!"

"We don't want to stay in this crappy place for another day..."

Shu Yanlin felt as if her whole body was about to explode.

The whole person was like a tin can, being roasted over a high fire.

No one really considered her, and everyone just felt that their own interests were not in place.

What about her?

Who thought about her?

"You damn girl, our words are of no use at all, right?"

"I will go to Li Yuan's company tomorrow and make a scene. I want everyone in the world to know how Li Yuan treats his mother-in-law!"

Finally, at this moment, Shu Yanlin's iron can exploded!

She glared at her parents and yelled, "Enough!"

"Don't you just want benefits? Don't you just want a big house? Don't you want good conditions?"

"I'll give you all!"

When Shu Yanlin's parents heard this, they immediately smiled and asked, "How much money is Li Yuan going to give?"

"No money! I've broken up with him!"

At this moment, the two men's expressions changed.

"What happened? Why did you break up?"

Shu Yanlin laughed at herself and said, "Because I have a good pair of parents. Even if they gave me 10 million, it's not enough. I have to go back to them for more. They don't like poor girls like me who have never seen money in their lives. Isn't it normal to break up? Am I really worth a lot of money?"

After she finished speaking, she saw the disappointment on her parents' faces.

Yes, only disappointment.

Not a bit of guilt, not a bit of embarrassment.

They will only be disappointed that without Li Yuan, their rich son-in-law, they will have much less money in the future.

Then they asked, "How much did he give?"

Shu Yanlin looked at her parents. Although she had guessed it long ago, when it really happened, she still felt like dying.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Three million."

As a result, the two were not satisfied. "Why is it only three million? He is such a rich man, the breakup fee should be at least 20 or 30 million, right? Otherwise, let's not break up and let him give me a few million pocket money every month."

Shu Yanlin smiled, "You can take it or not! The day after tomorrow I will transfer three million to your account, and then you can go away!"

"What did you say?"

"I said...you can go now!"

Shu Yanlin screamed these words.

This time, her parents' expressions finally changed.

Shu Yanlin continued, "Don't want it? If you don't want it, you won't have a penny left! Don't tell others that you supported me. When did you ever support me? Didn't all that money belong to Shen Tianfu? I've already returned the 10 million to Shen Tianfu! From today on, if you dare to force me again, we'll all die!"

Shen Anna, who was standing by, saw Shu Yanlin angry for the first time.

Even the last time I said those words to myself, I was just angry.

Because this cousin has a soft personality and will never be cruel to others no matter what happens.

But today, she gritted her teeth and glared, as if she wanted to eat someone.

Shu Yanlin's parents were frightened.

"Yes, three million is three million, it's enough for us to live in the village!"

Shu Yanlin turned around with cold eyes and left the apartment.

The moment she stepped into the elevator, all her energy disappeared instantly. She squatted down and burst into tears.

From today on, she has nothing.

No boyfriend, no parents.

Maybe she was born without these things.

Maybe if I were an orphan, I wouldn't have to face these things?
