Ning Shu rejected the call, pulled out the sim, threw it in the toilet, and flushed it away with water.

  Xi Mucheng who was downstairs listened to the prompt from his phone. He frowned and kept looking out the door.

  When Ning Shu went downstairs, she saw Xi Mucheng dragging his crippled leg around the living room.

  What was this? He wanted revenge against Shi Sinan, but deep down, he was worried about her.

  This scumbag was so pretentious. (→_→)

  Xi Mucheng picked up his phone again to call Shi Sinan, but it was the same result.

  Ning Shu leisurely drank water. He wouldn’t get through even if he called until his phone overheated.

  It was not just the sim. Ning Shu had also dealt with her social media accounts. She deleted the ones that could be deleted and changed the password for others.

  Even if Shi Sinan went online at school, she couldn’t reach anyone at home. She would just have to stay at school obediently.

  Xi Mucheng made several calls one after another without getting through. The result left him shrouded in a powerful aura full of murder and hostility, and his face was incomparably cold.

  When Xi Mucheng saw Ning Shu’s casual appearance, he frowned even more. It was already dark outside, but Shi Sinan hadn’t returned yet.

  Xi Mucheng was furious and anxious.

  While flirting with the girl, he ended up giving his own heart.

  The dinner finally came. The old man came back from visiting a friend and found that there was one person missing. He said to Ning Shu, “Shi Sinan, that girl, why hasn’t she come down to eat?”


  Xi Mucheng stared closely at Ning Shu.

  Ning Shu downed a bowl of soup, wiped her hands slowly and methodically, and said, “I sent her to a military management school.”


  Grandfather Shi was stunned. “Why did you suddenly transfer her to such a school? Sinan wouldn’t be able to handle it.”


  “Also, these schools don’t have any holidays.” Grandfather Shi looked at Ning Shu. “You’ve been too hard on Sinan lately.”


  Ning Shu said indifferently, “Sinan isn’t young anymore. She’ll be eighteen in a few days. She needs to learn to be sensible.”


  Xi Mucheng’s hand tightly squeezed the chopsticks, his joints whitening. He glared at Ning Shu with a bone-chilling coldness in his eyes.

  Grandfather Shi added, “In a few days, it’ll be Shi Sinan’s eighteenth birthday party.”


  “I’ll pick her up and bring her back to the school after the banquet,” said Ning Shu indifferently.

  “Suit yourself. You’re the one in charge now.” Grandfather Shi rarely took part in decisions now. He was in retirement and did some senior activities with people of his own age when he had free time.

  Still, the old man had the largest shares in his hands. Ning Shu was the master on the surface only. In reality, the old man made all the big decisions.

  Xi Mucheng looked at Ning Shu coldly. When they did not allow Shi Sinan to leave the country in the morning, she had sent Shi Sinan to a closed school in the blink of an eye.

  “Sister, what are you afraid of?” Xi Mucheng tugged at the corners of his mouth as he said this darkly.

  “I’m afraid some dog will eye her,” retorted Ning Shu.

  Shi Sinan was the fragrant bun, and Xi Mucheng was a dog.

  Xi Mucheng hooked the corners of his mouth. “Something that can be eyed is a good thing, and the person will definitely try to get it.”


  Ning Shu said indifferently, “I’m afraid of chipping the dog’s teeth.”


  Xi Mucheng narrowed his eyes. “The things you get with great pain are the really good things—No, it’s only when you get this thing and then destroy it that you feel comfortable. My things are mine, and I won’t give them to others even if I have to destroy them.”


  Ning Shu: This cheap bastard……

  This thing must be Shi Sinan.

  It was really inexplicable. He had such deep-rooted hatred of the Shi family, but this was a grudge between the Shi brothers. It had nothing to do with Xi Mucheng, who had no Shi bloodline.
