Chapter 401: Chapter 401 Flying Out of the Cage

...

Shen Mianmian sat at her desk, took out her notebook and pen she had prepared in advance, adjusted her emotions, and began to face the upcoming middle school exams.

The seating for this exam was determined by drawing lots, and the classroom wasn’t filled with just their own class students, but also students from other classes, some who had never seen Shen Mianmian, and others who had seen her but weren’t familiar with her.

At the moment when they saw her in person, they were all amazed. Although her hair was messy because she had run and sweated, her bangs sticking to her face, it didn’t seem sloppy at all. Instead, she exuded a unique beauty.

Especially her eyes, they were particularly bright, like stars at night.

Adolescent boys, seeing such a Shen Mianmian blushed slightly and dared not look her in the eye directly, while the girls were full of envy.

About three or four minutes later, the proctor entered with the test papers, and the students immediately sat up straight, praying in their hearts that the questions wouldn’t be too difficult.

While the teacher was distributing the papers, Shen Mianmian glanced at Lu Siyuan, who was in the same row as her and separated by three seats. At that moment, he was also looking towards Shen Mianmian.

Seeing her looking over, he quietly made a cheering gesture, and Shen Mianmian squinted her eyes with a slight smile and made a scissor hand gesture.

Some boys who caught sight of Shen Mianmian’s gesture and smile felt as if a fawn was bumping around in their hearts, making it thump wildly.

She didn’t realize that an unintended gesture made some of the boys who saw it remember it for many years.

The test papers were soon handed out, and Shen Mianmian picked up her pen and started working on them seriously.

And at this moment, Shen Jianhua who was unaware that Shen Mianmian had already started her exam, had just reached the village entrance, pondering that when he got back, he would pretend to know nothing and first push the blame onto Zhou Siyu. However, he then saw a crowd gathered at the village entrance, with Zhou Lanfang’s voice also emanating from the crowd.

As soon as he got out of the car, someone shouted, "Jianhua is back."

At this, everyone turned their attention to him. Shen Jianhua, completely perplexed, was about to ask what was happening when Zhou Lanfang burst out from the crowd.

"Why are you only back now? That damn girl has torn apart the house and even emptied our family’s savings, do you know that?"

Shen Jianhua was stunned and, regardless of the crowd present, hurriedly asked, "Mianmian ran away?"

"She ran off with some wild man," Zhou Lanfang said through gritted teeth, and then turned around and pointed at Li Chunhua, shouting, "This damn woman helped her run away!"

"Zhou Lanfang, watch your mouth. Don’t keep calling me a damn woman; I was accumulating blessings for you," Li Chunhua retorted, her hair disheveled. The two had already fought, and Li Chunhua hadn’t wanted to fight with Zhou Lanfang. But Zhou Lanfang wouldn’t let go of her hair, so they ended up in a scuffle.

Zhao Xianlai had gone to a village committee meeting early in the morning and hadn’t yet returned. Now that Shen Jianhua was back, Li Chunhua wasn’t afraid.

She had done nothing wrong; it was the couple who were to blame.

"Mianmian is taking her exam?" Shen Jianhua’s face turned dark, realizing all his previous efforts were in vain. Now that Mianmian might get into high school, she would surely become more headstrong. Plus, with this incident, she would no longer recognize him as her father, would she?

What if she found out her real background one day? Then she would care even less about her parents.

Shen Jianhua felt panicked for the first time. He had the feeling that the daughter he had raised for so many years was about to fly out of the cage, beyond his control forever.
