Chapter 1533: An Idiot Mary Sue
Ning Shu stepped into the living room and found Shi Sinan drinking water.
In a little fresh dress, Shi Sinan exuded a youthful aura. Topped off with her good looks –
long eyelashes, big eyes, cherry lips, a slight smile that could sweeten one’s heart – she gave off the carefree aura of a rich girl.
Shi Sinan wasn’t like Shi Lina. Rather, she was more like her father in terms of personality.
Plus, when Shi Lina and her husband divorced, Shi Lina felt guilty in her heart and somewhat spoiled Shi Sinan.
Sometimes, Shi Lina worried about whether or not Shi Sinan would be able to hold on to the company when the time came. However, she was also reluctant to force a young girl as delicate as a flower to take on such responsibilities.
It just didn’t occur to her that her carefully cherished delicate flower would be dug up by a pig.
In Ning Shu’s perspective, Shi Sinan was a Mary Sue, the kind that should be called an idiot Mary Sue.
After being r*ped, a dumbfounded expression.
Mom died, a dumbfounded expression.
Grandpa died, a dumbfounded expression.
Finding the murderer, a dumbfounded expression.
Didn’t know what to do, a dumbfounded expression.
What use was there for you if you lived a life that was so removed from the real world?
Grandfather Shi came down from upstairs. When he saw Shi Sinan, a smile immediately appeared on his face. “Shi Sinan is back. Did you have a good day at school?”
“Yes, Grandpa, it was a great day,” said Shi Sinan with a smile on her face.
Xi Mucheng came in to see the harmonious picture of the grandparent and granddaughter duo. He slightly curved the corner of his mouth, looking evil and overbearing, but it filled him with charm.
Grandfather Shi saw Xi Mucheng and asked, “How is it working in the company? Have you adjusted?”
Xi Mucheng said, “It’s not bad, pretty adaptable.”
“That’s good.” Grandfather Shi said, “You and Lina will support each other from now on.”
Xi Mucheng just smiled, not commenting.
During dinner, the old man said, “It’ll be Sinan’s eighteenth birthday in a few days, and I plan to throw her a party. Turning eighteen means becoming an adult; it’s time to meet the people who have business dealings with the Shi family.”
“Sinan, you can invite your best friends from school for the party,” said Grandfather Shi.
“Thank you, Grandpa.” Shi Sinan smiled sweetly. At the same time, she couldn’t help but lower her head when she saw Xi Mucheng staring directly at her.
That scorching gaze aroused a strange feeling in Shi Sinan’s heart.
Xi Mucheng put down his chopsticks and smiled at Shi Sinan. “Then, as the uncle, I must prepare a gift for my niece,lesso mustn’t I?”
“Thank you, Uncle,” said Shi Sinan with red ears.
Xi Mucheng took in every inch of Shi Sinan’s face, as if he was drawing out her features with his eyes.
Faced with such a predatory gaze from Xi Mucheng, Shi Sinan’s face was flushed and blushing with shyness.
Ning Shu coughed and used her arm to block Xi Mucheng’s gaze as she reached out for the food.
This look of a wolf seeing meat made Ning Shu want to gouge out Xi Mucheng’s thieving eyes.
After dinner, Ning Shu said to the old man, “Dad, I have something to tell you.”
Grandfather Shi said, “What’s the matter?”
“Let’s go to the study,” said Ning Shu.
Grandfather Shi glanced at Xi Mucheng, who was sitting on the sofa, and nodded.
When they reached the study, Ning Shu directly said, “Dad, do you know this Xi Mucheng’s background? Or did you just bring a stranger to the house?”
Grandfather Shi sighed and said, “Actually, he’s your uncle’s son.”
