The daughter was ruthlessly driven out of the wealthy family and went to the countryside

Chapter 1145 Rejection

Tang Yi glanced at Shen Yingying and said first, "Yingying, I remember you like mango pomelo sago. I've already ordered takeout, it'll be delivered in a bit."

Li Can: "..."

Shen Yingying stopped her, saying, "I just ate and I'm full. I don't want to drink anything. You drink it yourself."

She felt obligated to accept gifts and food, and didn't want anything from anyone.

Tang Yi insisted, "I've already bought it, and it was specially bought for you."

Shen Yingying noticed something. Since it was specially ordered for her, he must have known she was here beforehand. How did he know? "How did you know I was here?"

Tang Yi touched his nose: "Actually, I saw you before, but I didn't know if you would welcome me, so I asked you before I came over."

Shen Yingying said helplessly, "I didn't know you were so considerate."

Tang Yi looked up at Shen Yingying, his eyes reflecting the dazzling lights around him: "I've always been considerate, but you don't like me, so you don't understand me."

Shen Yingying didn't know how to respond, so she simply stopped talking.

Just then, the delivery rider arrived: "Hello, who is Tang Yi? Your milk tea has arrived."

The rider turned out to be Shen Bo. He spotted Shen Wenxu at a glance and wanted to come over to say hello, but he was held back by his duties, so he didn't come over, but he still waved to Shen Wenxu.

Shen Wenxu walked over: "Didn't you say you were playing games? Why are you out delivering food?"

Shen Bo sighed: "My grandpa said I was wasting my time on frivolous things and stopped giving me my phone, so I came out here. Making money is quite enjoyable."

Shen Wenxu patted Shen Bo on the shoulder: "Haha, right."

At this moment, Tang Yi walked over: "It's my takeout, thank you, little brother."

"Hehe, please give me a five-star review." Shen Bo handed the takeout to Tang Yi, then pulled Shen Wenxu aside to whisper to him.

Tang Yi walked up to Shen Yingying with the takeout and handed it to her, saying, "Yingying, please do me the honor."

Shen Yingying took a step back, clearly refusing: "Thank you for your kindness, but I can't accept something for nothing. You can drink it yourself."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Tang Yi's eyes. He had fallen in love with Shen Yingying the moment he saw her in the first year of high school. For the past three years, he had been trying to confess his feelings indirectly, but Shen Yingying had always ignored him.

In fact, many girls confessed their feelings to him over the past three years, but he was unmoved by any of them, and his heart was always with Shen Yingying.

He waited and waited, and finally graduated from high school, but Shen Yingying still kept him at arm's length. Thinking about it made him really sad. Was he really that unattractive?

Tang Yi continued handing over the milk tea, his expression forlorn: "We're classmates, it's not a big deal to treat you to a cup of milk tea, is it?"

Shen Yingying felt a little sorry for Tang Yi, who looked rather pitiful. "I... how about this, I'll drink your milk tea, but I'll also buy you something to eat."

Tang Yi's eyes lit up immediately: "Okay."

Shen Yingying asked, "What do you like to eat?"

Tang Yi answered eagerly, "Anything you buy is fine."

Shen Yingying ignored Tang Yi's words and thought for a moment: "Do you want some ice cream? The matcha ice cream here is delicious."

Tang Yixin said happily, "Okay."

Shen Yingying called Shen Wenxu over: "Little brother, could you go buy me an ice cream?"

Shen Wenxu looked at the two of them and said, "Okay, I'll go right away."

Shen Yingying took out a hundred yuan from her purse and gave it to Shen Wenxu: "Take this and buy it. You can keep the rest."

Shen Wenxu hesitated for a moment, then took the money: "Thank you, Second Sister." After saying that, she pulled Shen Bo away quickly, disappearing into the crowd after only a few steps.

Tang Yi held up the milk tea in his hand: "Now I can drink it without worry."

Shen Yingying accepted the milk tea: "Thank you."

Tang Yi took a step closer to Shen Yingying, completely ignoring Li Can: "Can I invite you to go shopping with me?"

Li Can quickly said, "I'll invite Yingying first."

Shen Yingying spoke up to stop the two from fighting: "Let's watch the show together here, we're not going anywhere else."

Tang Yi and Li Can exchanged a glance, then turned their faces away in opposite directions.

Shen Baozhu and Shen Zhenzhu stared at them. Was this a case of two men vying for one woman? They never expected such a dramatic scene to unfold before their eyes!

Just then, Shen Yingying caught a glimpse of Li Su coming out of the art restaurant. When she walked in front of Liu Yujie, Liu Yujie immediately stood up... to coax her.

Li Su was no longer angry. Before, she wasn't really angry, but jealous and insecure about herself.

Liu Yujie went to university and was the purchasing manager. She wasn't highly educated, nor was she the most beautiful. She felt that the fact that Liu Yujie liked her was the luckiest thing in her life. If Liu Yujie had been taken away by another girl, she probably would never have been able to get over it.

Now that Liu Yujie has taken the initiative to seek peace, she will definitely back down gracefully.

Liu Yujie coaxed, "I promise I'll keep my distance from other girls from now on, and this will never happen again."

Li Su nodded: "I believe you."

The two made up just like that. Li Su, holding flowers in one hand, was led away by Liu Yujie with the other.

Shen Baozhu whispered to Shen Zhenzhu, "They've made up already?"

Shen Zhenzhu blinked, her eyes filled with surprise and confusion: "Is this how you talk about love?"

Yang Shanchuan was a little disappointed that he didn't get to see any excitement, but he was still quite happy to see his brother regain his energy: "So how do you want to talk?"

Shen Zhenzhu shook her head: "I've never been in a relationship, so I don't know how."

Shen Baozhu stared at Yang Shanchuan, and asked with some suspicion, "Wait, cousin, are you in a relationship?"

Yang Shanchuan didn't want his family to know about his relationship, so he denied it: "I'm so innocent, how could I be in a relationship? No, don't talk nonsense."

Shen Baozhu analyzed: "His eyes are darting around, and his tone of voice is evasive. He clearly lacks confidence. Cousin, you must be in a relationship."

Yang Shanchuan turned his face away somewhat guiltily: "Don't talk nonsense and ruin people's reputations."

"What the heck..." Shen Baozhu gasped, "You really dare to say anything! It's just about you being in a relationship, how did that ruin someone's reputation? It's not that serious!"

Yang Shanchuan waved his hand, not wanting to talk about this anymore: "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. There's no more excitement to be seen. Let's go have some fun."

Shen Baozhu asked curiously, "What are you playing?"

Yang Shanchuan gave a thumbs-up and pointed in Yongle's direction: "If you win at pitch-pot, I'll give each of you a hundred yuan."

"Okay, let's go." The three greeted each other and left.

Only Shen Yingying, Tang Yi, and Li Can remained. Despite the large number of people, the atmosphere wasn't awkward. However, Tang Yi and Li Can were hostile towards each other, each standing on Shen Yingying's side, subtly antagonizing each other.

Shen Wenxu returned with the ice cream: "Second sister, I bought the ice cream."

Shen Yingying took the ice cream and handed it to Tang Yi: "Here you go."

Tang Yi gladly accepted the gift: "Thank you. This is the first time we've exchanged gifts. It's very meaningful, and I will remember this day."

Shen Yingying ignored him. She only introduced Tang Yi's gift because he looked pitiful. She gave him a gift in return so that she wouldn't owe Tang Yi anything. In the end, there was still nothing between them.

Tang Yi didn't care about Shen Yingying's attitude and continued, "Yingying, are you free tomorrow? Let's go to the county town for fun."

Shen Yingying refused without even thinking: "I have a lot of things to do, I don't have time."

Tang Yi asked with concern, "What is it?"

Shen Yingying tried to keep her distance: "This is my private matter, I won't tell you."

"It's okay to talk about it," Tang Yi said sincerely. "I really want to get closer to you, Yingying. You had to focus on your studies before, but that period of intense studying is over now. Can you give me a chance?"

"No, I don't want to do that," Shen Yingying refused directly.

"Why?" Tang Yi asked unwillingly.

Shen Yingying thought for a moment and answered seriously: "I want to learn more knowledge, I want to work hard in academics, I want to be as capable as my sister, and I want to focus on doing things. I don't have that much energy for dating."

Tang Yi tried to persuade her: "Your sister is also in a relationship. Being in a relationship won't affect your important matters."

Shen Yingying shook her head: "My sister is amazing, and I'm not as amazing as her, so how can you compare us like that?"

Tang Yi persisted: "I won't affect you."

Shen Yingying tilted her head slightly to look at Tang Yi and said solemnly, "Thank you for your favoritism towards me, but I really can't do it. Tang Yi, you are very good and you will meet very good girls."

Tang Yi shook his head and said dejectedly, "But all I want is to be with you."

Shen Yingying said, "I don't want to."

Tang Yi didn't say anything more. He turned his head to look at the wonderful performance on the stage, feeling an indescribable sadness in his heart.

Shen Yingying didn't say anything more. She had always known that Tang Yi liked her, but she had never responded, and even avoided him. She had always felt quite uncomfortable about it. Now that she had spoken out, she finally felt better.

Li Can listened to their conversation silently, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say, and remained silent.

He felt inferior to Tang Yi, and since even Tang Yi had been rejected, Shen Yingying would certainly not accept him. Thinking of this, he silently hid his feelings for her in his heart. It was good to be classmates and friends with Yingying, so that he could come to her and talk to her without any worries.

Shen Wenxu walked over: "Second sister, I want to go home. Do you want to go home too?"

Shen Yingying immediately flashed a big smile at Shen Wenxu, truly a good brother to his sister: "Let's go home."

She said to Tang Yi and Li Can, "I'm going home first. You should go home early too."

Li Can said, "I'll take you back."

Shen Yingying put her arm around Shen Wenxu's shoulder and said, "My brother is with me, so there's no need to see me off." Then she left.

Li Can had no choice but to stop.

Tang Yi didn't even have time to say a word; he could only watch Shen Yingying walk away.

Li Can glanced at Tang Yi, said nothing, and left directly. If it weren't for Tang Yi, he could have spent more time with Yingying. He was really annoyed.

Tang Yi felt helpless, found a seat, and sat down quietly.
