Chapter 166 Shen Mei Pays Back the Money
Liang Muchao was driving a convertible sports car today, and Shen Wancheng and the others had a wide view from the back seat.
Shen Wancheng looked in the direction Shen Yao was looking.
I saw Shen Mei come out of a villa and get into a Mercedes-Benz car parked in front of the villa.
The man who opened the back door for Shen Mei was someone Shen Wancheng and the others also recognized; it was Guo Tao.
Shen Yao now recognizes many license plates, and she has also noticed that Guo Tao has changed his car.
"Wow, Guo Tao has made it big and changed his car too."
Liang Muchao asked curiously.
"What? Did you run into someone you know? Should you stop and say hello?"
Shen Wancheng glanced at it and then looked away.
"No need to stop."
On the other side, as Shen Mei was about to get into the car, she seemed to sense something and turned her head to look at Shen Wancheng and the others.
She also saw Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao in the convertible sports car.
He even met Shen Yao's gaze.
The moment Shen Mei saw them, she inexplicably wanted to hide and bent down to get into the car, but she stopped a moment later.
She hasn't done anything wrong, so why is she hiding?
Shen Mei steadied herself, straightened up, and waved to Shen Wancheng and the others.
Shen Yao looked at Shen Wancheng.
"Sister, it seems like Shen Mei is calling us."
Liang Muchao also asked.
Should we drive over there?
They were on the main road of the villa area, while Shen Mei was on a side road. Their car would not normally have passed by Shen Mei.
Shen Wancheng was stunned for a moment.
She didn't expect Shen Mei to call them first.
After all, they had assumed they didn't know each other at the TV station last time.
Since Shen Mei has taken the initiative to call them, she must have something to say.
Shen Wancheng said, "Let's drive there."
Shen Yao moved closer to Shen Wancheng and asked curiously.
"Sis, what do you think Shen Mei wants from us? It can't be to pay back the money, can it? She hasn't even finished her competition yet."
Shen Wancheng naturally still remembered that Shen Mei owed them money, even though those few thousand yuan were nothing to her now.
But for them back then, it was no small amount of money.
Only after Shen Mei returned the money were they truly even.
Shen Wancheng had no interest in guessing what Shen Mei was up to, and answered Shen Yao in a low voice, "I don't know what she's up to."
Liang Muchao parked his car behind the car in front of Shen Mei. Shen Yao and Shen Wancheng got out one after the other, followed by Ke La, who was in the passenger seat. Shen Wancheng followed closely behind.
Shen Mei and Guo Tao watched as Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao approached.
Guo Tao hesitated in his heart about whether he should take the initiative to greet Shen Wancheng and the others.
He has no conflict with Shen Wancheng and the others, but he is currently with Shen Mei, and he knows about Shen Mei and Shen Wancheng's situation.
Moreover, unlike Shen Mei, Guo Tao is not proud. Guo Tao is well aware that there is a class difference between him and Shen Wancheng and the others.
However, if you don't greet them, the atmosphere can become a bit awkward.
Therefore, Guo Tao hesitated.
However, Shen Yao didn't have as many concerns as Guo Tao. She approached and greeted him casually.
"Shen Mei, Brother Tao."
Shen Wancheng smiled politely at Guo Tao.
Guo Tao straightened his expression, looking rather flattered.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
He then spoke specifically to Shen Wancheng.
"I saw that you got engaged. Congratulations."
Shen Wancheng responded politely.
"Thank you."
Shen Mei glanced at Guo Tao subtly.
She seemed dissatisfied with Guo Tao's polite and reserved attitude when facing Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao.
Shen Wancheng noticed the changes in their expressions but didn't pay them any attention.
She took the initiative to ask Shen Mei, "Is there something you need?"
Instead of answering, Shen Mei asked, "Can I speak with you alone for a moment?"
Upon hearing Shen Mei's words, Guo Tao automatically walked to the side.
Shen Yao and Ke La, however, did not move.
Shen Mei looked at Ke La and Shen Yao.
Shen Wancheng said, "Yaoyao is not an outsider, and Kela is a foreigner and has nothing to do with you."
Shen Yao, however, spoke frankly.
"You know my sister is pregnant, so I can't let you talk to her alone."
A hint of anger rose in Shen Mei's eyes.
"Shen Yao, do you think I would lay a hand on Shen Wancheng? In your heart, am I such a shameless person?"
Shen Yao shrugged.
"I don't think you're that kind of person, but it's better to be safe than sorry."
Shen Wancheng didn't want to argue about these things in the middle of the road, so she urged.
"What do you want to say? I have something to do later."
Shen Mei kept all the questions she originally wanted to ask Shen Wancheng to herself.
She felt that if she voiced those questions and resentments in front of others, she would appear humble, and that she would have already lost.
Shen Mei took out a wad of cash from her bag and handed it to Shen Wancheng.
"Ten thousand Hong Kong dollars, including principal and interest, and we'll be even from now on."
Shen Mei originally didn't need Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao's 5000 Hong Kong dollars even after splitting the rent.
However, Shen Wancheng did not think that Shen Mei's donation of ten thousand Hong Kong dollars was too much. Although several thousand Hong Kong dollars was not much at the time, it completely changed Shen Mei's fate.
"Ah."
"Goodbye."
Shen Wancheng took the money from Shen Mei and turned to leave.
Shen Wancheng's calmness only intensified the anger in Shen Mei's eyes.
Shen Mei finally couldn't hold back and called out to Shen Wancheng's back.
"Shen Wancheng, what exactly are you so arrogant about?"
Shen Wancheng paused in her steps.
I sighed to myself, "I'm still too soft-hearted."
Then he turned around and said something.
"Shen Mei, don't worry too much about me. Focus on yourself, and you'll be better off."
After saying that, Shen Wancheng strode back to Liang Muchao's car.
Shen Yao and Ke La followed Shen Wancheng into the car.
Liang Muchao, realizing he hadn't gotten out of the car, didn't ask any more questions. After confirming that Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao were seated, he drove away.
Shen Mei bit her lower lip, her eyes filled with resentment as she watched the sports car Shen Wancheng was in disappear from sight, remaining motionless for a long time.
After smoking a cigarette, Guo Tao walked over to Shen Mei and whispered his advice.
"Don't stand here, let's leave first, Mr. Huo will be coming out soon."
Shen Mei glared at Guo Tao, then opened the car door and got in.
Guo Tao went around to the driver's seat to start the car.
Guo Tao drove the car away from the villa area. Looking in the rearview mirror, he saw that Shen Mei was still angry with a tense face, so he didn't ask her anything. He drove directly to Shen Mei's current residence, which was also the room where Shen Wancheng originally rented.
Shen Mei herself couldn't understand why she subconsciously wanted to rent this room after moving out of Shen Wancheng's place.
But at this moment, when Shen Mei saw this familiar building and thought of that familiar room, she felt extremely disgusted.
Shen Mei hadn't gotten out of the car yet when she spoke to Guo Tao.
"I'm moving, and I'm moving today."
Guo Tao glanced at Shen Mei's expression through the rearview mirror and responded repeatedly.
"Okay, I'll contact someone to help you move it."
After Shen Mei went with Huo Guangda that night, the next day Huo Guangda not only helped her secure a spot in the press conference Q&A session, but also gave her 100,000 yuan in cash, and later gave her the Mercedes she has now.
Shen Mei can't drive, and she doesn't have time to learn to drive right now, so she asked Guo Tao to help her be her driver.
Guo Tao certainly wouldn't refuse Shen Mei. Shen Mei asking him to be her driver was a way of saying that even if Shen Mei became successful, she would still take him along for the ride.
Today, Shen Mei was still hesitating about whether to listen to Huo Guangda and move to Huo Guangda's vacant villa.
But after encountering Shen Wancheng, Shen Mei instantly made up her mind to leave the rented house and move into the villa.
