Chapter 334: Regret

Su Mushi looked at Su Ruowan and felt grateful that she tried to cover up for him, but he knew he could not hide what he did since there were surveillance cameras at home. He stood up and said, “No, I did this.”

Su Yi was livid. He took the feather duster lying on the side and without a word, he started to whip Su Mushi wildly with it.

Su Ruowan could not stand it anymore, so she rushed over and hugged Su Mushi, protecting him with her body as she cried. “Dad, stop hitting Third Brother! Hit me if you want. Third Brother was just feeling sad and he didn’t mean to make such a mess.”

The veins on Su Yi’s forehead twitched. He raised the feather duster in his hand but did not hit her because she was a girl. Finally, he sternly yelled, “Su Mushi, go to the ancestral hall!”

‘Great! He smashed up the house just because he’s in a bad mood, huh? I’m also in a bad mood! Should I just beat this unfilial thing to death?!’

Li Jingran pulled Su Yi back. She was heartbroken and remorseful. “Honey, Shi is under a lot of pressure these days. That show has affected him too much. He’s just a child.”

In the end, this was still their fault, so she understood what her son was feeling.

If the two of them had not stopped him, Shi would have taken on “The Smiling Nation” and he would not be in this situation today.

Shi was asked to be the main character of “The Smiling Nation”. Being in this TV series could catapult him into fame. He could have won the year-end drama awards and would turn into a big movie star.

Even the supporting characters had jumped to be the B-listers in the entertainment industry with an exponential increase in their fan base.

Su Ruowan took advantage of this opportunity to pull Su Mushi away. She cried until her eyes were red and swollen. She looked at him heartbroken. “Third Brother, why didn’t you hide away?”

Su Mushi did not say anything. Seeing her red and swollen eyes, he had a complicated look on his face.

‘Wanwan’s not my biological sister, so why can’t I have feelings for her? We don’t have any blood relations, so it’s not considered incest.’

The living room was an utter mess. Su Yi was so angry that he almost got a heart attack. When he saw Su Ruowan pulling Su Mushi away, he raised the feather duster in his hand and hurled it at his son again.

‘This unfilial son! He wants to anger me to death! That show is done and dusted, so it’s useless crying over spilled milk. He even dared to lose his temper?! He just did this to infuriate me!’

Li Jingran pulled her son close and cried sadly. “Honey, don’t get mad. Just let him vent it.”

The Su family had an unfortunate year. Nothing went smoothly lately.

Su Yi finally calmed down, but there was still anger in his eyes. “Just ignore that boy. Their classes start tomorrow, so you should go over and pick up Xixi. Pay for her tuition and give her living expenses. After all, she’s our daughter, so we can’t let others raise her.”

When Li Jingran heard Shen Xi’s name, she was furious, but she did not dare to go against Su Yi at this moment, so she gritted her teeth and said, “Okay.”

‘That brat! It’s all because of that brat! She humiliated me, but I still need to beg her?!’

“Didn’t the Situ family just give you a set of makeup? Take it to her tomorrow,” Su Yi instructed. He believed that Shen Xi would come home as long as they gave her the best of everything.

Li Jingran gritted her teeth and was exasperated that her body began to tremble. She retorted resentfully. “Doesn’t she have a good relationship with Situ Zhangyou? I’m sure she doesn’t have a shortage of this.”

Su Yi glared at her fiercely. “Even if she has it, that’s hers. This is just a good gesture so that she can see that we care about her and come home with us.”

No matter what, Su Yi must bring Shen Xi home because she was the lucky star of their family.

Ever since she left the Su family, bad things had been happening, and his business was not going smoothly.

If she came back, everything would be back on track. His business would be booming, and the status of the Su family would be higher.

Li Jingran was frustrated and speechless.

‘Fine! I’ll give it to her! I’ll give her everything! If he wanted her back so badly, why didn’t he promise to give her the entire Su family fortune?’

Li Jingran wanted to see if Shen Xi would come home after they gave her everything and begged her.

**

The first day of school at No. 4 High School was just to report to class and pack up. There were no lectures that day.

The International Class students were crazy. They had always wished for a holiday when they were at school and vice versa, so their class was very lively that day.

Today was also when they could collect their debt. They were waiting for the gaming site to deposit the money to them. Before the money even arrived, they started planning how to spend it.

The rowdy Song Wenye was not there because she was taking dance lessons with Shu Baiyu. She was on a half-month leave, so the girls in class were saddened by her absence.

Shen Xi was finally able to have some peace. No one would pester her and chatter nonstop next to her.

Pei Xu came to class too. His long legs were sprawled out on the table and he had a lollipop in his mouth. He looked like a handsome rogue as he asked Shen Xi, “Do you think the Su family will give us the money?”

It was not a small amount. Including Yu Qiubai’s bet, that would add up to more than 4 billion yuan. The Su family might just turn their backs and renege on the debt.

Shen Xi was seriously considering the problem. She casually said, “If he does, then you can sue him or hire someone to pester him to collect the debt.”

Su Yi was a miser. He was paranoid and was even suspicious of his family, thinking that they were eyeing his money or trying to steal his company and assets.

However, Su Yi never gambled and did not fancy taking risks in business. Thus, Shen Xi was sure that Su Yi was clueless about the bet this time, which was probably the Su brothers’ doing.

In that case, what would happen next would be even more interesting. Su Yi would certainly renege this bet and would not go easy on his sons.

Pei Xu snapped his fingers and smiled more roguishly. “That’s right! If he doesn’t pay, we’ll just pester him at his office and his house. I’d like to see how he’ll handle it!”

“Shen Xi, the teacher asked you over to the office.” Their classmate who just walked in called out to her.

Pei Xu watched as she got up to leave. He threw her a lollipop and teased her. “You got first in our grade, so I’m guessing you’re going over to receive a scholarship. You’re not gonna treat us to dinner?”

Every year, the school issues scholarships on the first day of the school year. The scholarship from No. 4 High School was very generous. The first place was 50,000 yuan, which was enough to have fun at the bar with a few bottles of liquor.

“Fine,” Shen Xi agreed very quickly.

The students in their class jumped in excitement and urged her to come back quickly. While Shen Xi was receiving the scholarship, they discussed what they should eat and would tell her once she returned.

Shen Xi thought that she was going to the office for the scholarship, but when she arrived, she saw the woman sitting on the couch. Her eyes instantly turned cold and she turned to leave without hesitating.
