Chapter 1561: Meat Shield
Ning Shu looked around the room before heading toward the bathroom, but Shi Sinan immediately blocked her way. She shook her head, saying, “Mom, there’s no one else here. I’m the only one.”
“I heard a man’s voice,” said Ning Shu indifferently.
Shi Sinan immediately shook her head. “There’s really no one here. It was me on the phone.”
Your phone was confiscated, okay?
How could you make a call?
“I’m just taking a look.” Ning Shu stretched out her hand to push aside Shi Sinan’s head.
“Ouch.” Shi Sinan called out, “Mom, your ring’s hooked in my hair.”
Shi Sinan bent over as she shouted at Ning Shu.
Ning Shu said, “Don’t move. I’ll take it off.”
She looked at Shi Sinan’s seaweed-like hair and plucked out a few good roots. Shi Sinan hissed and inhaled sharply in pain.
Ning Shu put the hair away, then ripped off the hair wrapped around the ring.
Shi Sinan rubbed her head and asked Ning Shu, “Mom, did you need something?”
“I just came to see you.” When Ning Shu turned to the bathroom, Shi Sinan immediately yelled, “Mom…”
Her voice was loud, as if she was alerting the person in the bathroom.
When Ning Shu pulled open the bathroom door, a huge fist came smashing towards her face. She dodged it reflexively, and without a trace, she sent Shi Sinan towards Xi Mucheng’s fist.
When Xi Mucheng saw Shi Sinan, he tried to withdraw his fist. Even though he had pulled back in time, his fist still grazed her nose. Still, the force was reduced to the minimum.
Shi Sinan’s nose instantly started pouring blood, and she fainted on the spot.
Xi Mucheng furrowed his brows tightly, appearing very anxious. He squatted down to hug Shi Sinan. Her nose was bleeding, and she had her eyes closed.
Xi Mucheng glared at Ning Shu with a bone-chilling look in his eyes. He picked up Shi Sinan, ready to leave the room.
However, Ning Shu had other plans. She flew to the back of Xi Mucheng, reached out, and grabbed his hair. She gave it a hard yank and ripped off a lot of Xi Mucheng’s hair.
Xi Mucheng gave a muffled groan. As his mind had been on the body in his hands, he had been completely caught off guard by Ning Shu’s sudden attack.
Xi Mucheng looked at Ning Shu and said coldly, “No matter how cruel a tiger is, it won’t eat its own child. But you actually treated your daughter like this.”
Although Ning Shu’s movements were subtle, Xi Mucheng still saw that the woman was using her own daughter as a meat shield.
Xi Mucheng looked at Ning Shu with disgust. “You and your mother are the same… Heartless and unrighteous whore.”
“She was a slut who played with two men…” There was malice hidden in Xi Mucheng’s voice.
The woman that Xi Mucheng mentioned was Shi Lina’s mother, who made the Shi brothers turn against each other.
Ning Shu sarcastically said, “And who are you to say such things? This is a Shi family’s matter. What business is it of yours?”
Who did he think he was, an arbiter?
What did the Shi family owe him? It was baffling, to say the least.
Xi Mucheng looked down at Shi Sinan’s nose bleeding like a small fountain. He didn’t talk to Ning Shu anymore and left with Shi Sinan in his hands.
Soon, there was the sound of an engine starting outside the house.
Ning Shu looked down and saw drops of blood. There were quite a few; the power of Xi Mucheng’s fist was really great.
She went out of the bedroom and noticed that the stairs were also covered with blood drops. She said to a maid, “Wipe up all the blood in the young miss’s room.”
“Yes.”
