Chapter 1541: Buy a Few More Pairs, Just in Case
There was one hurdle to get through first: Shi Sinan’s 18th birthday.
Although Ning Shu didn’t like Shi Sinan, she couldn’t watch Xi Mucheng bully Shi Lina’s daughter like this. If she could avoid this incident, she might get more points at the end.
But having dodged this one, there would be a next time and a next one. It wasn’t as if she could follow Shi Sinan everywhere.
Such a pain.
During dinner, Xi Mucheng glanced at Ning Shu and said to the old man, “Dad, I’m going to call the police to investigate this car accident.”
Xi Mucheng said this while keeping his eyes on Ning Shu, obviously hinting at something.
Grandfather Shi had a look at Xi Mucheng, then at Ning Shu, and didn’t say anything for a long time.
Ning Shu calmly ate. Who was he trying to scare? His car was burned to a crisp. There was nothing he could investigate.
“Just buy a new car.” Grandfather Shi tried to smooth things over.
Xi Mucheng’s expression was cold. Hostility flashed in his eyes, and he said indifferently, “I’ll listen to Dad.”
Ning Shu didn’t say anything and ate most of the food on the table in silence.
Xi Mucheng put down his chopsticks and said to Shi Sinan, “Niece, come over and help your uncle to the sofa.”
“Okay.” Shi Sinan put down her chopsticks and was about to stand up to help Xi Mucheng.
Ning Shu pressed Shi Sinan back down into the chair and smiled. “Brother, let Sister help you.”
She then winded around the table and walked over to Xi Mucheng’s side.
Xi Mucheng narrowed his eyes, smiled, and said, “Thank you, Sister.”
When he extended his arm, Ning Shu helped him walk towards the sofa. As Xi Mucheng moved to sit down on the sofa, she slammed her foot on his wound.
Xi Mucheng muffled a groan, his face a bit white. He turned his head to look at Ning Shu, who had a smile hanging on her lips. “What else does Brother need?”
Hostility flashed in Xi Mucheng’s eyes once again, but he held it in. Instead, a smile crept onto his face. “Thank you, Sister.”
As he called her sister, his voice was full of sneering malice.
Ning Shu said, “If you need anything, just call the servants at home. Tomorrow, Sister will buy you a pair of crutches so that you can go wherever you want.”
Xi Mucheng wore a dark smile on his face, giving off an aura of evil. “Thank you, Sister. Buy a few more pairs, just in case.”
Ning Shu smiled, not caring at all about Xi Mucheng’s veiled threat.
When Xi Mucheng saw how calm Ning Shu was, his expression became a bit unsightly. He turned towards Shi Sinan and said, “Niece, in return for helping your uncle today, you can ask your uncle if you have any problems with your homework.”
“Okay.” Shi Sinan responded with a smile, her eyebrows arching. She looked kind and sweet.
“Shi Sinan is such a good kid.” Xi Mucheng winked at Shi Sinan.
Then he turned towards Ning Shu and said, “Sinan is really a beautiful and tender young girl.”
Ning Shu: →_→
He was actually describing Sinan as “tender”. Such a lustful word…
This scumbag. He was using Shi Sinan to provoke her and their mother-daughter relationship.
But when Ning Shu saw such a well-behaved Shi Sinan, she inwardly gave a cold laugh.
Behind every great scum, there was a woman shrouded in the glory of the Virgin Mary. After being slapped by a scum, all that was needed was a sweet date and a vow of repentance, then the heart softens again.
