Chapter 1560: Remedy With a Bit of a Magic Touch
After hanging up the phone, Ning Shu returned to grinding the materials into powder.
Once all the ingredients were powdered, there was now just one thing missing: Shi Sinan’s and Xi Mucheng’s hair.
This remedy carried a bit of a magic touch in it.
After leaving work in the evening, Ning Shu returned to the villa. There was no one in the living room. She went to Shi Sinan’s room to find a strand of her hair.
Ning Shu grabbed the door handle and turned it, but the door was locked. She could faintly hear someone talking inside. Ning Shu stuck her ears to the door, but the voice was still not clear.
Ning Shu simply lay down on the ground and listened through the gap below.
It was a lot clearer now, except…
“Uncle, you can’t. You really can’t…”
“You little devil.
“Do you realize you’re playing with fire?
“Don’t move. I can’t guarantee what would happen if you move again.
“Since you started the fire, you’ll also have to put it out.”
“Uncle…”
Ning Shu: (╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻
What the hell. Suddenly hearing so many original and authentic CEO quotes, Ning Shu got goosebumps all over her body.
What kind of filthy scene was taking place in there?
Ning Shu felt like her eyes and ears had been filled with ten bottles of chili sauce, the Devil’s Pervert spicy kind even.
Ning Shu kicked the door with her foot. Shi Sinan panicked and pushed Xi Mucheng away.
She then asked nervously, “Who is it?”
“It’s me. Open the door,” shouted Ning Shu.
Shi Sinan’s face went white, and she whispered to Xi Mucheng, “Uncle, Mom is coming. Hide, please.”
Xi Mucheng pressed his lips together and stood still in his spot as Shi Sinan pushed him toward the bathroom.
“Please hide. If Mom finds out you’re in my room, you guys will fight again.” Shi Sinan was so anxious that her face was red.
Xi Mucheng looked down at Shi Sinan’s sweet red lips opening and closing. His gaze deepened and he said, “Are you that afraid of me getting hurt?”
When confronted with such a blunt question from her uncle, Shi Sinan blushed and denied it. “I’m worried about Mom getting angry, not about you getting hurt.”
Xi Mucheng stood still. He wouldn’t budge, no matter how hard Shi Sinan tried.
“I won’t hide. Why should I?” said Xi Mucheng indifferently.
Shi Sinan was so flurried. Her mother was banging on her door while her uncle refused to hide.
“Uncle, please. I am worried about you getting hurt. Hide quickly. If Mom discovers our relationship, she’ll beat me to death,” said Shi Sinan frantically to Xi Mucheng.
Xi Mucheng said coldly, “She wouldn’t dare to do anything to you. No one dares to touch my people. I’m protecting you.”
“Yes, Uncle is protecting me.” Shi Sinan pushed Xi Mucheng into the bathroom, shut the door, and straightened her clothes. She took a deep breath before opening the door.
When Shi Sinan opened the door, she saw Ning Shu’s indifferent face. Her heart trembled. She felt like her mother had become unrecognizable to her.
There was no trace of warmth towards her anymore.
Ning Shu walked into the room and looked around. Once she spotted Shi Sinan’s long hair on the pillow, she picked it up.
Shi Sinan looked at Ning Shu with some surprise. “Mom, what are you doing?”
“Nothing. Where’s the other guy?” Ning Shu asked, “I heard two people talking in the room.”
