Chapter 1552: Sinan Is Much Stronger
“Yes. Your grandfather’s back,” said Ning Shu.
Shi Sinan immediately held the railing of the stairs and almost flew down. Ning Shu heard her daughter acting spoiled towards the old man. No matter what, she just did not want to go to that horrible school again.
It was a calamity.
The old man had rejected Ning Shu before with not allowing the child to go abroad, so it was not good to oppose again. Hence, the old man just smiled towards Shi Sinan and said that her mother was doing this for her own good.
Shi Sinan was dumbfounded. She wanted to cry, but she remembered that she still had makeup on her face. It forced her to hold back her tears.
The old man looked at Shi Sinan acting like this and said, “See? After going to this school, Sinan is much stronger.”
Ning Shu: Hahahaha…
Xi Mucheng said carelessly, “Shi Sinan is the eldest daughter of the Shi family. There’s no need to go to a school like that to waste time. Some things don’t need to be done by her own hands, and it’s simply a waste of time. If there’s time to do laundry, it would be better to learn something useful and create more value.
“Sinan doesn’t have the life of doing laundry and folding blankets.”
When Shi Sinan saw Xi Mucheng speak for her, she was touched. She whispered to Xi Mucheng, “Thank you, Uncle.”
Xi Mucheng smiled. His eyes were on Ning Shu, who was standing on the stairs. The corners of his mouth curved wide, appearing sarcastic and contemptuous. Even though his gaze was trained on Ning Shu, he said to Shi Sinan, “I am your uncle. It’s only right to love and cherish you.”
Ning Shu’s expression was indifferent as she ignored Xi Mucheng’s taunts and provocations.
The old man said, “Don’t overthink it. Tomorrow’s your birthday party, so be pretty and happy.”
Shi Sinan acted childish for half the day, but she couldn’t convince her own grandfather. It left her depressed and despondent.
After dinner, Ning Shu said to Shi Sinan, “Tonight, you’ll sleep with me.”
Ning Shu was worried that something would happen at night. Xi Mucheng was a wolf in sheep’s clothing. After twelve o’clock, Shi Sinan would be eighteen years old.
In her heart, Shi Sinan was angry at her own mother for treating her so coldly. She said, “I’ll sleep on my own. I’m not a child anymore. Didn’t Mother say I need independence?”
She sure was gifted at talking.
But how come she had her tongue cut in front of Xi Mucheng?
Ning Shu did not say anything and returned to her room. She set up the Spirit Gathering Formation and cultivated for a while.
At almost ten o’clock, Ning Shu took the key and opened Shi Sinan’s room. She planned to hide in here tonight.
However, as soon as Ning Shu opened the door, she saw Xi Mucheng sitting on the edge while Shi Sinan sat in the middle of the bed.
When Shi Sinan saw Ning Shu, she shouted in a bit of panic, “Mom.”
Xi Mucheng turned around and glanced at Ning Shu. He even threw a fearless smile at Ning.
Ning Shu’s heart was on fire. She clenched her fist and was about to smash it on that smirking face.
Xi Mucheng quickly grabbed Ning Shu’s fist and hooked the corner of his mouth. “After falling for it once, how can I fall for it again?”
Ning Shu laughed coldly. “What are you doing in Sinan’s room in the middle of the night?”
Xi Mucheng sneered. “What do you think? Ow…”
Before Xi Mucheng could finish his sentence, he felt a sharp pain beneath him. He looked down and saw a foot planted on his lifeblood.
The man’s vulnerable spot was struck hard, and Xi Mucheng bent down in pain.
Ning Shu drew back her fist from Xi Mucheng’s hands. If her hands were restrained, she still had her feet.
“Uncle!” Shi Sinan looked at Xi Mucheng with some concern.
