The Little Brat’s Sweet And Sassy

Yu Yu did not take the phone.

"You brought me here all the way from Haicheng just to tell me this?"

She looked at Shi Yang and suddenly sneered.

"Did Shen Li offend you?"

At such a young age, Yu Yu was able to occupy a position in the core management of the Yu Corporation. Obviously, she was a smart person.

If she was not capable of sensing Shi Yang's real intention, all her years working for the Yu family must have been a total waste.

However, Shi Yang did not mind that she had noticed.

After all, he had already made it very obvious, and he knew that even if Yu Yu understood this, she would still do as he was told.

"I can't say I've been offended."

Shi Yang had a magnanimous expression on his face, and his voice was as gentle and calm as ever.

"I just don't really like her."

Yu Yu frowned.

He did not like her?

What kind of answer was that?

Shi Yang had gone through so much trouble. That had to mean that there was some big conflict between him and Shen Li. Yet, in the end, all he said was just that he did not like her?

She did not believe that.

She turned her head away, but her heart was far from being as calm as it seemed.

After she had found out that Shen Li was the boss of Shengguang Media, she had had her suspicions.

Back then, many people were optimistic about "Fantasy God Chronicles". Shengguang Media had been the first to negotiate with the director, but ultimately, the negotiations had not gone through.

She had thought that it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so she had immediately stepped in herself to secure the project. Who would have known that it was a trap that had been set up long ago?

As for "Chasing the Light", they had also deliberately snatched it away!

All the glory that belonged to Shen Li should have been hers!

And Yu Cheng... If Yu Ming had not suddenly gotten hold of those photos and videos, how would they have known about them and tortured her like that?

Just then, the familiar itch spread through her bones again.

Yu Yu's body began to tremble, and her face turned paler.

Shi Yang also noticed that something was happening, so he put away the phone.

"Since Second Miss Yu doesn't want to make this call, then forget it."

As he spoke, he turned around to leave.

Yu Yu panicked and immediately shouted, "Wait!"

However, Shi Yang did not seem to hear her.

Yu Yu began to feel more and more uncomfortable, almost to the point of insanity!

She was not able to care about anything else. She quickly got up from the bed, intending on going after Shi Yang.

Thud!

A dull thud was heard as she fell heavily to the ground.

However, she could no longer feel the pain. There was only one thought left in her mind.

She anxiously shouted, "I'll do it! I'll do it!"

Shi Yang stopped in his tracks and turned around.

He looked down at Yu Yu, his eyes full of pity.

Yu Yu's body was twitching uncontrollably.

"I... I beg you...!"

At this moment, she no longer had any self-esteem to speak of.

Shi Yang squatted down and raised his hand to gently and patiently smooth down her messy hair.

"I heard that Second Miss Yu likes black almond cakes the most. I've ordered one for you. Would you like to try it? "

Yu Yu's tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.

How could she be like this?

How had she ended up in such a pitiful and lowly situation?

It was all Shen Li's fault!

She grabbed Shi Yang's hand so hard that the veins on the back of her hand popped out and turned white.

Shi Yang did not move, nor did he say anything. He merely looked at her quietly.

However, the pity and sympathy in his eyes easily pierced through Yu Yu's last line of defense.

She trembled, and every word seemed to have exhausted all her strength.

"I'll call... I'll call... her."

Shi Yang handed the phone over and gently said, "Alright."

…

After the morning classes, Shen Li and Shen Zhijin went home together in the afternoon.

At the dining table, Shen Zhijin scooped out a bowl of porridge for her and asked, "Are you going back to school in the afternoon?"

Shen Li shook her head.

"The previous stage of the experiment has been completed. I've arranged for the data to be sent over to Fino Lab in the afternoon."

It would take about a day and a half to deal with it, so she had some rare free time for these two days.

Shen Zhijin smiled and said, "Your progress is faster than I expected."

Shen Li blinked.

"Thank you for your praise, Teacher Shen."

Shen Zhijin gently tapped her on the forehead.

"I have a meeting at school later. I'll bring you some crispy peach pie tonight."

There was a new dessert shop near the school, and the food was delicious. Shen Li liked their desserts, but there was always a long queue.

Hearing Shen Zhijin's words, Shen Li's eyes curved as she smiled.

"Thank you, Dad."

...

After lunch, Shen Li went back to her bedroom to take a nap.

When she woke up, it was half past two. She packed up her things, put her laptop in her backpack, ready to set off for Fino Laboratory.

When she passed by the studio, she suddenly remembered that she had told Lu Huaiyu that she wanted to give him a thank-you gift, but she still had not delivered the painting yet.

She sent a message to Lu Huaiyu.

[ Second Brother, are you at Rongyue Mansion now? ]

Lu Huaiyu seemed to be busy. Shen Li waited for a while, but he did not reply, so she went to the studio and took out the painting.

When she arrived at the basement, she put the painting and her backpack in the car. Just as she sat in the driver's seat, her phone rang.

She took a look and saw that it was a message from Lu Huaiyu.

[ I'm at the company. I'll be back a little later. What's the matter? ]

Shen Li fastened her seat belt and quickly typed a sentence.

[ Do you remember that I said that I would give Second Brother a thank-you gift previously? It just so happens that I'm going to Fino Laboratory today, and I'll be passing by Rongyue Mansion along the way. ]

When Lu Huaiyu saw this message, he raised his eyebrows.

[ Shen Tangtang, is your sincerity just because it's on the way? ]

After a while, the other party replied very quickly.

[ Second Brother, I'm driving. I'll talk to you later. ]

Lu Huaiyu laughed.

Yi Bin, who was standing in front of his desk, was stunned and immediately stopped what he was doing.

"Second M?"

Lu Huaiyu put down his phone.

"Continue."

"Alright," he said.

Yi Bin reorganized his thoughts and was about to speak when he saw Lu Huaiyu look at his watch.

"You have 15 minutes."

Yi Bin was speechless.

Why had the time suddenly shortened?!

But of course, he could not ask that question. After all, he was a professional.

He coughed lightly, "Yes, sir."

...

Shen Li drove to Rongyue Mansion and went upstairs with the painting.

Lu Huaiyu was not around, and the room was quiet.

She looked around and finally put the painting on the coffee table in the living room.

This way, he would be able to see it when he returned.

After putting the painting away, she was ready to leave. However, she suddenly noticed a small cut on her left index finger.

She seemed to have been scratched by something like a piece of paper, but she had not noticed it before.

She looked around and decided to look for a band-aid.

She opened the drawer under the coffee table.

Suddenly, she stopped.

There were two books in the drawer.

One was "The History of Time," and the other was...

"The Physical Universe".

She knew that Lu Huaiyu had often read "The History of Time."

The other one was the one she had seen at the Lu residence before.

Had Lu Huaiyu brought it here?

Shen Li picked up the book. The faint bloody fingerprints were still clearly visible.

This book must have been very important to him, so much so that he still cherished it even though it was stained with blood.

However, she did not know how the blood had stained the book.

She flipped open the book.

In the next moment, her body suddenly froze!

On the title page was the handwriting that she was all too familiar with.
