“Dad, Uncle is older than you, but how come his son is so young?” asked Ning Shu bluntly.

  Grandfather Shi said, “When your uncle and I went into business together and grew from a small store to a company, we met your mother. We both liked her, but your mother chose me.”


  Ning Shu: →_→


  Brothers fighting over a girl!

  Shi Lina’s mother, who was also a beautiful woman with a tragic fate, died when Shi Lina was in her teens, and the old man never married again.

  Grandfather Shi said, “Your uncle was resentful. He embezzled the company’s money, so it couldn’t survive. I had to take a loan from the bank to keep it floating.”


  “What about Uncle?” asked Ning Shu.

  Grandfather Shi said, “He took the money and ran away, without any news for so many years. I have been looking for him all this while. I heard something about him recently. He passed away, leaving behind Xi Mucheng.”


  “When I found Xi Mucheng, he was hanging out with thugs and living in a tiny house that was filthy as hell.”


  Ning Shu asked again, “Where was Aunt when Uncle died?”


  Grandfather Shi sighed and said, “Your uncle didn’t marry. Xi Mucheng’s mother was one of his mistresses.”


  Ning Shu: Ha. Ha. Ha……

  With Xi Mucheng’s imposing presence, which was like a beacon in the night, how could he be a small-time gangster?

  On top of that, he was quite skilled at business. How could a bum have that expertise?

  Things simply didn’t stand up to scrutiny.

  And Xi Mucheng wasn’t even the son of her uncle, but the adopted son of the uncle she never met.

  This uncle had instilled hatred into Xi Mucheng.

  Xi Mucheng had come to take back everything for his father.

  “Lina, Xi Mucheng has been muddling around his entire life, so if he does anything wrong, please bear with him,” said Grandfather Shi.

  There were only two words in Ning Shu’s heart: ha, ha.

  Xi Mucheng’s methods were quite ruthless.

  The deaths of Shi Lina and the old man were just adding a cherry on top of this abusive relationship.

  Xi Mucheng hated the Shi family, even if he had mixed feelings for Shi Sinan.

  He was able to kill the rest of the Shi family, but he couldn’t do anything about Shi Sinan. In the end, he imprisoned her.

  It was in this villa that all kinds of love-hate stories played out. Of course, there were also indescribable things, like all kinds of bondage shame play.

  Xi Mucheng expressed: Since I’ve fallen in love with the daughter of an enemy, I’ll love her and torture her.

  Shi Sinan expressed: I’ve fallen in love with my mother’s killer. I hate him so I torment myself.

  Ning Shu silently looked at the old man. “Have you investigated everything? I don’t think he’s Uncle’s son at all, nor did he come with good intentions.”


  Grandfather Shi said with a sigh after a long while, “Let’s talk about this later.”


  Ning Shu felt a little frustrated. The old man was clearly feeling guilty about his brother.

  What was there to feel guilty about, though? He already ran away with the company’s money, which was enough for him to secretly build up an underground power.

  Under the male lead halo of Xi Mucheng, these forces grew larger and larger, and his company was no weaker than the Shi family’s company.

  It was not Grandfather Shi who had done anything wrong.

  Ning Shu pursed her lips together. It seemed that she would have to deal with this herself after all.

  Grandfather Shi had a little affection for this male member of the Shi family. After all, Shi Lina and Shi Sinan were both women.

  Furthermore, it was obvious at a glance that Shi Sinan wasn’t built for great things. She couldn’t take on the responsibilities of a large company.

  Yup, Shi Sinan was just a pure, innocent, no-frills idiot.
