Cen Shuang shivered and reached out to touch his head. There seemed to be a big bump on his head. She had injured Zhuang Hong!

“I’m sure it doesn’t hurt. Fortunately, your hair is covering it. You can’t tell it’s there.” Cen Shuang tidied up Zhuang Hong’s hair carefully. She only heaved a sigh of relief when she was sure that she could not see anything.

Lan Yibai probably would not look so carefully. Moreover, it would probably heal up in a few days. After that, nobody would know. Fortunately, her husband was a vegetable. If he were a child, he would probably cry for half the night. The man before her did not say a word. Cen Shuang, who had a guilty conscience, did her best to take care of him throughout the night. She covered him with a blanket, wiped his sweat, and even washed his face in the morning. She was afraid that Lan Yibai would only find out about her son’s ‘tragic state’.

Lan Yibai looked at all of this with satisfaction. Before Cen Shuang left for school, Lan Yibai stuffed another bank card into her hand.

“Mom, you just gave me one two days ago.” The money came too easily. She was given it even though she had hit Zhuang Hong. Now, she even wanted to murder her husband. This card could not be holding another million, right? She reckoned that if this continued, she would be able to save enough money for herself before the Zhuang family could help her buy the Cen family’s villa back.

“Eat well at school. The weather is going to turn cold. You can buy more beautiful clothes and bring them home with you.”

Was she asking her to dress beautifully and possibly make her son a cuckold? Cen Shuang thought that but, naturally, did not dare to say it to Lan Yibai. This was because she still hoped that her mother-in-law would give her more allowance in the future.

“Mom, I have enough clothes. I don’t need so much money.” Cen Shuang reluctantly pushed the bank card back. One could not be too greedy, not to mention that she hurt her son last night. She really could not bear it.

Lan Yibai smiled gently and handed the bank card to her, saying, “This isn’t just for you. Go to the Pavilion of Delicacy after school and bring back a pair of green jade porcelain vases. Maybe the money here isn’t enough.”

Did she mean that she was to run errands, and she might have to pay for it herself? Cen Shuang wanted to return the bank card even more now. She wanted to refuse this trip, but she still smiled and said, “Okay, I will definitely bring back those porcelain vases for you.”

Today was the first day of school. The new students had come to the school a week ago. Cen Shuang was still a university student. This year, she was promoted to a sophomore. The dormitory had not changed. As soon as she entered, Mu Sensen hugged her.

“Darling, I miss you so much.”Mu Sensen hugged her and acted coquettishly. The two of them rolled onto the bed.

“I don’t think you miss me. You want me to die.” Cen Shuang broke free from her embrace and quickly hid on the other side of the table. She looked at Mu Sensen warily, preventing her from pouncing on her again.

Mu Sensen rolled her eyes at her. “I know about the Cen family. Shuang Shuang, how have you been recently?”

Who would have thought that the once glorious Cen family would lose everything in just a few months? Cen Shuang’s expression was sour. Although this was a fact, she could not help but feel sad when it was mentioned, even if it was in the past.

“I’m fine. Don’t you see that my dresses are all brand new?” Cen Shuang spun around and let her see that the beautiful light blue dress she wore that just came out this year. Lin City had just launched this less than a month ago, and there were only two pieces in the entire city. She had gone out of her way to buy them.

After a long while, Mu Sensen let out a wolf whistle. “Wow, did you take down your own family?”

The two of them used humor to cover up their sadness. Cen Shuang smiled and said, “My mother-in-law bought it for me.”

“Mother-in-law?” Mu Sensen chewed on this unfamiliar noun and came back to her senses after a long while. “Cen Shuang, you...”

‘Could it be that the Cen family had been defeated and you couldn’t bear the pain and sold yourself?’ Clearly, her tyrannical novels had indeed not been read in vain, Cen Shuang was fulfilling the same storylines.

Cen Shuang was not surprised by her shock. Her life was just like a novel. “I’m married. Don’t tell anyone.”

Mu Sensen nodded vigorously. She would definitely not say anything about the drama of a down-and-out daughter and an overbearing CEO. Seeing that she was curious but did not ask, Cen Shuang also took the initiative to tell her. She had suppressed her feelings for too long and needed a reliable friend to confide in. As the two of them talked, the other people in the dormitory returned. The two of them tacitly stopped talking and went to the admin office to report their attendance. Within a day, Cen Shuang heard so much gossip about the Cen family going bankrupt. She had gone from being worshipped like a star to a down-and-out daughter. Those she never gave a second glance to were now excited to see how she was fairing.

People were even laughing at the limited-edition dress she was wearing. Everyone wanted to see how destitute this number one socialite was now. They could only watch helplessly as Cen Shuang got into a luxurious car after school.

When Cen Shuang returned to the Zhuang family residence, it was already late at night. She had bought the pair of green jade porcelain vases. The amount in the card that Lan Yibai had given her was just right. It was obvious that she had known the price beforehand and had asked her to go over to take it. After making the purchase, she hurriedly rushed back to the house. The moment she entered, she saw that the entire Zhuang family was gathered together. Before she could react, Lan Yibai waved at her. “Cen Shuang is back. Come over and sit.”
