Trouble is Here

“Shall I introduce you as Sheng Nanxuan?” retorted Gong Mo. “They’ll ask, ‘Why does he have the same surname as Sheng Donglin?’ I’ll then have to explain that you’re his younger brother and then more questions will follow. Shall I describe to them what happened that night next?”

Sheng Nanxuan could not help but laugh when he saw her angry expression. “You’re angry? Shouldn’t I be the angry one?”

“I’m not angry.” Gong Mo rubbed her forehead. “I’m frustrated!”

“Don’t be frustrated.” He reached out and rubbed her temples for her. “You have to be careful of the prenatal influences on the child or it’ll get depression.”

Gong Mo burst out laughing. “How old is the child even?”

“Don’t you know that babies can have depression too?”

“Is that so? I didn’t know that,” said Gong Mo softly.

Her classmates were all looking at her and having a discussion. “They look close. Could they have been together for quite a while already?”

“Could she have broken up with Sheng Donglin a while back?”

“It can’t be. She was still attending Sheng Donglin’s birthday party happily a while back. I think that was only a few days ago?”

“Is she two-timing?”

“Humph~ She looks so innocent that I thought she was very pure. Turns out it was all an act!”

“Would an innocent person seduce Sheng Donglin? She must have ulterior motives.”

“She’s probably the one with the most ulterior motives in our class, huh? Each boyfriend of hers is more handsome than the previous.”

“Don’t run your mouth. It’s best to not offend someone this capable.”

“That’s right, haha..”

“On the subject of Sheng Donglin, do you know if something big happened in the Sheng family recently? Sheng Zhongtian announced in the papers that he was cutting ties with his second son. I’ve never heard of the Sheng family having a second young master.”

Just then, someone shouted, “Young Master Yang is here!”

Young Master Yang was one of the boys in their class. His name was Yang Gang and he came from a wealthy family. Because he was a second-generation heir, many people sucked up to him. Everyone noticed that he even brought a new girlfriend with him today.

Everyone greeted him the moment he arrived. He gestured to his companion beside him. “This is Gong Fei.”

“Hello!” Gong Fei smiled.

“Young Master Yang has good taste! Your girlfriend is really pretty!” said everyone.

Yang Gang smiled satisfactorily. “She’s Gong Mo’s younger sister. Is Gong Mo here? I want to say hi to her. We might become family in the future.”

He had chased Gong Mo before, but she had been snatched away by Sheng Donglin a few days after. He didn’t dare to retaliate against Sheng Donglin for embarrassing him, for he was the son of the wealthiest man in the city, and only bore the grudge in his heart. Now that he got Gong Fei, he felt as though he had turned the tables on him and come out top once again, and so he wanted to embarrass Gong Mo.

Everyone laughed and whispered, “She’s here. She broke up with Sheng Donglin and brought her new boyfriend here.” They pointed to the corner.

Yang Gang’s eyes lit up. Broke up? That was great! He would have needed to be cautious if she hadn’t broken up with Sheng Donglin for fear of offending him, but he needn’t be afraid of anything now.

He coughed, wrapped an arm around Gong Fei, and said to everyone, “Let’s go see them.”

“Sure!” Everyone wanted to watch the drama and fan it, and were thus eager to follow.

Gong Fei was also very excited about this. She had plotted painstakingly to get Yang Gang to bring her here so that she could see Gong Mo and expose her impending wedding to humiliate her.

A group of people swaggered over. Sheng Nanxuan took one glance at them and said to Gong Mo, “Trouble is here.”
