Chapter 02 Returning Home
Calling him hubby is completely a conditioned reflex of Wen Eryu.
Who told Chen Ji Ze to keep forcing her in the previous life, causing her to shout out those two words whenever she saw that stern face?
Lin Cheng looked at Wen Eryu in disbelief.
"Are you okay?" Lin Cheng pulled her to his side and whispered, "He's the school hunk I told you about."
"What?!" Wen Eryu was shocked again. She slowly looked up at the boy.
The most handsome boy in No. 4 Middle School turned out to be her ex-husband whom she was trying to avoid!
Damn it, why didn’t she notice it in her previous life?
Wen Eryu divorced him a long time ago, so he should call her ex-husband now.
As a teenager, Shen Jize had a hint of immaturity, with deep black eyes hidden by a slight tear, and his face still did not show much expression fluctuation, except for a hint of confusion in his eyes when he was discovered by Wen Eryu just now.
There is no doubt that his facial features are indeed superior and he can be noticed at a glance in the crowd.
Shen Jize exudes a cold and aloof aura, which always makes others stop in their tracks, even Wen Eryu.
She took several steps back, her hands shaking.
A subtle atmosphere instantly spread in the alley, and the dim sunset shone on Shen Jize's face, making it look very soft.
But only Wen Eryu knows that he is a complete devil!
"I'm sorry, ex-husband, bah, classmate." Wen Eryu quickly changed the subject, fearing that she would offend someone she shouldn't offend. "I didn't mean to scare you just now."
Shen Jize didn't say anything, but just stared at her silently, his breathing becoming heavier.
It wasn't until Wen Eryu pulled Lin Cheng away that he came to his senses.
He tightly grasped the strap of his schoolbag and looked at Wen Eryu's back as she left. His eyes were dark and there was a hint of regret in them.
Shen Jize punched the concrete wall, and his fingertips were rubbed by the rough particles on the wall, and blood came out.
He suppressed the out-of-control expression on his face, returned to his indifferent state, and then left the alley.

Wen Eryu's home is located in the best area of H City.
Among the towering high-rise buildings, there is a group of single-family villas, and only a handful of people can afford to buy them.
Some wealthy businessmen even go to great lengths to find connections and spend money to buy a house here.
But in fact this is simply impossible. To live here you need not only money but also some power.
The Wen family had accumulated a lot of wealth and connections since the generation of Wen Eryu's great-grandfather, so she lived a comfortable life in the first twenty-five years.
When he returned home, Wen Eryu changed into slippers and handed his schoolbag to the aunt who was working.
"Aunt Zhao, isn't my dad back yet?"
Wen Eryu's mother died when she was very young, and Wen Liang gave almost all his love to his daughter.
"President Wen has a meeting today and won't be back until later," Aunt Zhao said. "Miss, do you really not want a driver to pick you up from school?"
Wen Eryu shook her head: "No, no, it's too much trouble. I can walk to school in a few steps."
She walked into the kitchen, took out a bottle of orange juice from the refrigerator, unscrewed the cap and took a sip. At this time, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Aunt Zhao put down the work in her hands, ran forward and opened the door.
Standing outside was a woman with red lips and sunglasses, holding a limited edition GUCCI bag in her hand, and the clothes she was wearing were also very expensive.
"Hurry up and take your luggage in. Do you want to tire me to death?"
The woman's sharp voice reached Wen Eryu's ears, and she instantly got goosebumps all over her body.
She would never forget this voice.
The woman at the door was Xu Wenrou, Wen Liang's lover. They had never gotten married. Later, she used some tricks to secretly transfer most of the money in Wen Liang's bank account and went abroad with her baby son.
Xu Wenrou didn't love Wen Liang at all. She tried so hard to get close to him, not for any other reason, but just because she was attracted by his huge assets.
By the time Wen Liang discovered it, it was too late.
After this incident, he did not take his anger out on Wen Eryu. Instead, he kept telling her that her father still had a chance to make a comeback.
At that time, Wen Eryu hated Xu Wenrou so much. Why could she be so cruel? That money was her father's life's hard work.
So this time, she will definitely not let this woman succeed again!
However, according to the timeline of the previous life, Xu Wenrou moved to the Wen family with Zhou Yi when Wen Eryu was in college.
Why is it here now? Is it because time has been advanced after rebirth?
Wen Eryu suppressed all the doubts in his heart and walked to the door with a cold face.
At this time, Zhou Yi, who was standing behind Xu Wenrou, strode in. He looked Wen Eryu up and down and said in an unruly tone, "Mom, is this my new sister?"
"Yeah." Xu Wenrou crossed her arms over her chest and replied lazily. She didn't take Wen Eryu seriously at all.
Zhou Yi smirked and put his face close to Wen Eryu: "Hello, new sister."
"Get out." Wen Eryu's tone was very bad.
"Oh, you still have a bad temper." Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows, "But, I like it."
Wen Eryu's eyes were almost flying to the sky: "Don't you think you are a master?"
"What did you say?" His voice rose a degree, and it was obvious that his defense was broken.
Zhou Yi was half a body taller than her, and she felt a strong sense of oppression.
But Wen Eryu wasn't afraid at all. She straightened her back and said word by word, "This is my home. Please leave."
The next second, she was pushed and staggered back a few steps.
"What are you talking about, little brat?" Xu Wenrou took off her sunglasses, her long and thin eyebrows twisted together, her eyes were filled with anger, and her chestnut wavy hair made her look like a lion with its fur standing on end.
Wen Eryu's arm was in pain. Xu Wenrou had used a lot of strength to push her just now, and the woman had also had a manicure, so she was in so much pain that she was almost crying.
Xu Wenrou warned fiercely, "I'm telling you, from today on, I'm the mistress of this house. You'd better behave yourself. If I hear words like what you just said again, you'll get out of this house."
"Who should get out of this house?"
A deep and deep voice came from outside the door.
Wen Liang walked in slowly. He glanced at Xu Wenrou, snorted coldly, then walked up to Wen Eryu and stopped.
"Dad, why are you back now? Don't you have a meeting?"
Wen Liang said, "The meeting was cancelled, so I came back early. What happened just now?"
As soon as he came back, he heard a noise in the house.
Before Wen Eryu could speak, Xu Wenrou said, "It's okay. Eryu is still young and naive, so she talked back to me a few times."
Wen Eryu: “…”
She had never seen anyone who was so good at confusing right and wrong, and today she finally had her eyes opened.
Wen Liang said, "Eryu is my daughter. Even if she really did talk back to you, don't you have any fault at all?"
"I..." Xu Wenrou was speechless.
"How dare you talk to my mother like that, old man?" Zhou Yi had been spoiled since he was a child, so naturally he couldn't bear to hear his mother being scolded.
Xu Wenrou quickly stopped Zhou Yi from stepping forward and glared at him with disapproval: "Shut up."
"Mom!" Zhou Yi shouted in confusion.
Xu Wenrou pulled him behind her and forced a smile: "I've spoiled this kid. He's been outspoken since he was young."
Wen Liang said with a straight face, "Keep an eye on your son."
"……good."
"Also, both of you should apologize to Eryu."
"Apologize?" Xu Wenrou raised her head instantly.
How could she possibly apologize to a little girl who was still wet behind the ears?
Xu Wenrou gritted her teeth as she thought, her hanging hand clenched into a fist, her nails digging into her palm. She hadn't gotten any money from Wen Liang yet, and she couldn't let this ruin her plan.
Then, Xu Wenrou's expression changed. She walked up to Wen Eryu in a flattering manner and took her hand. "I'm sorry, Eryu. It was my fault just now. Just treat those words as nonsense, okay?"
Wen Eryu pulled her hand away in disgust. She looked at Wen Liang and said, "Dad, I don't like her. Can you let her go?"
"..." Wen Liang was silent for a long time, "Be obedient Eryu, from now on, Auntie and we are family, don't make things awkward."
When Wen Eryu saw that Wen Liang had no intention of driving Xu Wenrou away, she couldn't help but feel angry.
If she were to tell him now what Xu Wenrou did in her previous life, no one would believe her, and Xu Wenrou might even bite her back.
After thinking it over, Wen Eryu said resentfully, "Anyway, I won't accept her."
Then she ran upstairs without looking back and slammed the door behind her.
The people downstairs looked at each other in confusion. Xu Wenrou took Wen Liang's arm and said aggrievedly, "Eryu doesn't seem to like me very much."
Wen Liang sighed: "Her mother left her very early, and the child has never felt safe since she was young. If you pay more attention to her while you live here, she will accept you."
"Okay." Xu Wenrou leaned her head on his shoulder, then glanced at Zhou Yi, "Why don't you call someone?"
Zhou Yi curled his lips and called out reluctantly, "Dad."
Wen Liang: “Yeah.”
Xu Wenrou raised her head: "Xiaoyi's school matters..."
Wen Liang said, "I'll make arrangements for him."
Xu Wenrou smiled and said, "Okay."

The next day at school, Wen Eryu kept thinking about how to make his father see Xu Wenrou's true face in class.
She didn't even hear Yao Weimin call her to answer a question.
Lin Cheng poked her with a pen and whispered, "The teacher is calling you."
"Ah?" Wen Eryu came to his senses and stood up quickly.
But she didn't even know what the teacher was asking. At this moment, she felt like she was drawing her sword and looking around, feeling confused.
Yao Weimin said, "Didn't you hear my question clearly?"
Wen Eryu nodded: "Yes, teacher."
The whole class burst into laughter. Yao Weimin knocked on the blackboard and pushed up his glasses. "Okay, okay, quiet down. Let me repeat the question again. What is the last line of the line "沉音放摘插弦" (shenyin, fangpiao, zhaxian) in the Pipa Xing?"
Wen Eryu had only memorized the first two paragraphs yesterday and hadn't had time to memorize the rest. She looked at Lin Cheng for help.
Lin Cheng skillfully turned the textbook to that page and placed it under the desk, but Wen Eryu couldn't see it clearly at all.
Seeing that she couldn't answer, Yao Weimin said, "Come to my office after class and sit down first."
After class, Wen Eryu stood behind Yao Weimin with the textbook and recited the last two paragraphs.
At this time, a familiar figure walked in.
"Teacher, this is our class's Chinese homework yesterday."
Wen Eryu looked up suddenly.
Shen Jize walked up to her holding a stack of homework books.
"Okay, put it here."
After putting it down, Shen Jize didn't leave, but glanced at the person next to him out of the corner of his eye.
At this moment, the two happened to look into each other's eyes.
