Ning Shu drove back to the villa and saw the old man sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper when she entered.

  Ning Shu greeted the old man, “Dad.”


  The old man folded up the newspaper and placed it on the coffee table. He took off his glasses and asked Ning Shu, “Why has that girl Sinan made you so angry lately?”


  “She even said that the injury on her face was because of you.” The old man looked at Ning Shu. “You’ve been much colder to her lately. Emotional abuse won’t solve things.”


  Ning Shu: →_→


  Ning Shu hadn’t thought that Shi Sinan would blame her for her injuries.

  She probably did not dare to say that her uncle, who was hiding in the bathroom, had hit her.

  This daughter!!!

  “Dad, I have my reasons,” said Ning Shu.

  “No matter what, she’s still your daughter. She’ll be burdened with the responsibility of being a member of the Shi family, one way or the other,” said the old man indifferently.

  Ning Shu could tell that the old man’s words had deeper meaning. Could it be that he had some sort of plan for Shi Sinan?

  Ning Shu couldn’t help but say, “Dad, do you even know what kind of person Xi Mucheng is? You brought him home just like that?”


  “I know,” said the old man in a calm voice.

  Ning Shu: ……

  What did he even know?

  Ning Shu’s eyes whirled, then she asked, “Do you know that Xi Mucheng isn’t the son of Uncle?”


  The old man said, “Don’t dwell too much on Xi Mucheng’s background. He’s already a member of the Shi family anyway.”


  Ning Shu: →_→


  When she saw the old man like this, Ning Shu even suspected that he was interested in the power in Xi Mucheng’s hands, or he wanted to recover the money embezzled by her uncle back then.

  Ning Shu stared at the old man, wondering if he knew about the relationship between Shi Sinan and Xi Mucheng.

  “Dad, I’m your daughter. You should tell me anything you want to tell me,” said Ning Shu to the old man.

  It was better not to end up getting killed by them later.

  Ning Shu sighed and said, “Dad, do you know that Xi Mucheng and Shi Sinan have that kind of relationship? They are niece and uncle, yet they actually have a husband and wife relationship.”


  The old man frowned as he looked at Ning Shu and asked, “Really?”


  “Would I joke about such things?” said Ning Shu in an annoyed tone.

  Ning Shu carefully observed the old man’s expression and discovered that he wasn’t very angry.

  “Dad, this person, Xi Mucheng, does not have good intentions. He can’t be allowed to stay in the Shi family,” said Ning Shu.

  The old man looked at Ning Shu and asked, “Personal prejudices aside, what do you think of Xi Mucheng’s abilities?”


  “He has the means and the brains,” said Ning Shu.

  The old man nodded and said, “Since the rice has already been cooked, let them stay together.”


  Ning Shu: Pfft……

  Ning Shu almost kneeled in front of the old man. Looking at him in stunned silence, her voice shook as she said, “D-Dad, what are you saying?”


  The current situation was utterly beyond Ning Shu’s imagination.

  Ning Shu couldn’t help but doubt her ears. She stared at the old man.

  “Xi Mucheng is your son!” Ning Shu’s voice trembled.

  “Xi Mucheng is a capable person. With him here, the Shi family would rise to the next level.” The old man said, “Sinan could be used as the rope to tie up Xi Mucheng.”


  Ning Shu directly and unceremoniously rolled her eyes. You think too highly of your granddaughter; she couldn’t act as that rope.

  “Even heroes have a weakness for the charms of a beautiful woman. Use soft against hard,” said the old man.

  Ning Shu: Ha. Ha. Ha……

  Anyway, you and I wouldn’t be able to see the time when Shi Sinan used softness as strength.
