Chapter 34: Are You Blaming Me?

At this moment, in the office of Zhongtai Trade’s business department.

Sitting in her independent office, after just one morning, Han Xinyan had already gotten a good grasp of the department’s business.

At that moment, the phone suddenly rang.

“Teacher Sun? Is there something you need?”

Han Xinyan was quite surprised to hear the voice on the other end. After all, she had withdrawn Yueyue from the kindergarten half a month ago. Why would Yueyue’s teacher call her now?

“Yueyue’s mother, please bring her back to our kindergarten tomorrow!” Sun Xiao said softly. “She can attend our school for the rest of the year!”

Hearing this, Han Xinyan was extremely puzzled and confused, responding in disbelief, “Teacher Sun, there must be some mistake. I haven’t paid the fees yet!”

“It was Yueyue’s father who paid,” Sun Xiao replied.

“Shen Fei? How is that possible? I haven’t even discussed this with him!” Han Xinyan exclaimed in shock.

Hearing her confusion, Sun Xiao quickly explained, “Yueyue’s mother, I ran into Mr. Shen today, and I immediately recognized him as Yueyue’s father! I briefly mentioned the situation, and then he took me back to the kindergarten and paid both this semester’s fees and the next semester’s fees. The total is 22,500!”

“Yueyue’s mother, I know I shouldn’t be meddling, but between a married couple, who doesn’t argue? No matter how difficult things get, we can’t let our child suffer, can we? There’s no kindergarten in the city that can compare to ours! Besides, Yueyue enjoys her time here so much and has so many good friends! I think you should bring her back soon!”

Han Xinyan didn’t listen to the rest of Sun Xiao’s words. Even after the call ended, she still couldn’t recover from the shock.

Shen Fei, that terrible person, actually paid Yueyue’s school fees?

And not just for this semester, but for an entire half-year?

Was the sun rising from the west?

And more importantly, why would Shen Fei, who doesn’t even care about his own high-interest loans, care about something like this?

It didn’t make any sense!

In Han Xinyan’s mind, Shen Fei had become a man who was addicted to gambling and drinking, and was notoriously stingy, unwilling to spend a dime. He even used Yueyue’s school fees and New Year money for gambling, and he openly mocked the idea of girls studying. How could such a person suddenly go and pay Yueyue’s school fees?

And all of this, under the premise that Shen Fei was still burdened with over 300,000 yuan in high-interest debt!

Was this the same Shen Fei that Sun Xiao described?

Feeling shocked and unsure, Han Xinyan hesitated for a moment before dialing a number she hadn’t called in a long time.

Meanwhile, Shen Fei had found a bank nearby.

He had just withdrawn 400,000 yuan when his phone rang.

Seeing the caller ID, Shen Fei’s emotions stirred.

“Ayan!”

“Teacher Sun said you paid over 20,000 yuan for Yueyue’s school fees?” Han Xinyan’s voice was cold and indifferent.

“Yeah! I ran into her today, and she mentioned it to me. She said their kindergarten is the best in the city, and their teaching staff is top-notch. So I paid for an additional semester for Yueyue!” Shen Fei paused and cautiously added, “Ayan, I know you have some resentment toward me, but as Yueyue’s father, I have the right to know about her matters…”

“Heh, Shen Fei, such a ‘right to know’! Are you blaming me for not telling you about this?” Han Xinyan interrupted sharply.

Her emotions were escalating, and her tone grew harsh.

“Shen Fei, ask yourself honestly, who’s responsible for me and Yueyue being in this situation? I’m Yueyue’s mother! Don’t you think I want to give her a better environment? I know how strong the Big Windmill Kindergarten is in this city, but what could I do? I have no money! At my lowest point, I couldn’t even afford a meal!”

“Borrow money? How could I dare to keep borrowing from you when you secretly used my ID to take out loans behind my back? Even the money I borrowed myself was secretly spent by you! I couldn’t borrow a single cent! My credit has been ruined, and I’ve been blacklisted! What should I do? Shen Fei, tell me, what should I do?”

“Do you think I wanted this life? Living in fear, starving for a meal, I’m sick of it! If it weren’t for Yueyue, I would have…”

Memories of the past flooded Han Xinyan’s mind, shattering her already fragile state of mind.

Her eyes reddened, but her eyes felt dry and empty.

At that moment, she realized that her tears had already dried up.

After all, what’s the use of crying in such a desperate life?

Her husband was a scumbag, and her parents treated her coldly.

The two of them had no one to rely on.

All they had was the constant barrage of debt-collection texts, the humiliation from her company’s leadership, and the suffocating pressure of life.

With a silent, bitter smile, Han Xinyan rubbed her eyes, which longed to cry but couldn’t.

Taking a deep breath, her voice grew colder.

“Shen Fei, after this month, we’re done. But I won’t stop you from being good to Yueyue because you are her father! It’s your duty.”

“Don’t worry, I will make sure Yueyue returns to the Big Windmill Kindergarten!”

After saying this, Han Xinyan hung up the phone directly.

What’s the use of talking so much to that scumbag?

If talking helped, would she have ended up in this situation?

She pulled out a small mirror from her already worn-out bag, took out a puff, and quickly touched up her makeup.

After forcing a smile in front of the mirror for a while, her emotions slowly began to settle.

From now on, she would have nothing to do with Shen Fei.

Even though her heart was filled with scars, she would face life with a smile.

For Yueyue, she would remain strong.

After all, life wouldn’t treat you kindly just because you cried!

At the same time, Shen Fei stood in the street, lost in thought, unable to regain his composure.

Everything Han Xinyan had said felt like a series of stones, shattering the tough facade he had been pretending to hold for so long.

His eyes began to water.

Covering his eyes with his hand, his lips uncontrollably trembled.

“Ayan, Yueyue, I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”

He repeated over and over, as though only this way could his heart feel a little better.

Listening to the beeping sound from the phone, his hand, which had been holding the phone, fell limp at his side.

He stood there for a while, until his emotions calmed down.

Carrying the backpack with 400,000 yuan, Shen Fei sighed deeply.

With a blank expression, he stopped a taxi, and coldly said, “Take me to Liyou Group!”
