After the meeting adjourned, Xi Mucheng walked up to Ning Shu and asked, “Where’s the old man?”


  “I told you, he isn’t fit for visitation right now.” Ning Shu said emotionlessly, “If you have the time, why don’t you go investigate the HJ Company? See if it’s a fake company or not, and don’t present proposals that spill the money.”


  Xi Mucheng’s expression was indifferent. “Shortsighted, women are just long-haired and shortsighted. You might not see revenue from some cooperation cases now, but in the future they’ll bring the company boundless returns.”


  Ning Shu: ……

  Ning Shu very much admired Xi Mucheng’s ability to talk nonsense with a completely straight face.

  She shrugged her shoulders and said unscrupulously, “I’m not willing to invest. I’m shortsighted. I won’t approve the cooperation and won’t release the money. What can you do to me?”


  Jump up and bite me, for fuck’s sake.

  Xi Mucheng’s eyes flashed with a stern light. He then said, “You said that the old man wasn’t fit for visitation right now. How come there was a maid in his room?”


  “Of course, she is taking care of the old man.” Ning Shu and Xi Mucheng looked at each other. “When did you start caring about a little maid?”


  “It’s not that I care; it’s just that Shi Sinan misses her glutinous rice balls with osmanthus and sweet fermented glutinous rice. Send her back to make them for my niece.”


  “It’s more important to take care of the old man. Sinan wouldn’t die without eating for a day.”


  When Xi Mucheng heard Ning Shu say this, his eyes turned sharp. He sneered and said, “Shi Sinan is your daughter, yet you don’t care about her at all. I question whether she’s actually your daughter.”


  “Is it any of your business whether she’s my daughter or not?”


  Xi Mucheng became even more suspicious, feeling that he had fallen into a trap.

  He still wanted to speak, but his phone suddenly rang. Xi Mucheng coldly swept a glance at Ning Shu and answered the call.

  As soon as he heard the contents of the phone call, Xi Mucheng’s face turned very dark. He turned his head to look at Ning Shu and said flatly, “Good, very good.”


  His energy company was under scrutiny again, courtesy of the woman in front of him. Just as he said he was going to invest in the company, someone had reported the company.

  This company was originally set up by Xi Mucheng. He intended to siphon money off the Shi company through it. Even if it was shut down, there was no loss.

  But this slap on his face made the proud and arrogant Xi Mucheng feel that his dignity had been trampled on.

  Xi Mucheng’s eyes carried murderous intent. He then calmed down and looked at Ning Shu with vigilant scrutiny.

  Ning Shu tilted her head. “I don’t understand what you’re going on about?”


  Xi Mucheng turned and left the conference room. He headed straight to the company garage. Getting in his car, he stepped on the gas pedal to return to the villa.

  Ning Shu smiled as she saw Xi Mucheng walk away with endless anger.

  By the way, she hadn’t seen her daughter in a while. Should she go back and see how she was doing?

  When Ning Shu drove back to the Shi family villa, Xi Mucheng’s car was parked in front. She entered the living room and saw Xi Mucheng on top of Shi Sinan, with one hand clutching her neck.

  Xi Mucheng’s eyes were dark and gloomy as he said, “What kind of conspiracy do you have with your family?”


  Shi Sinan was strangled by Xi Mucheng to the point where she couldn’t breathe. Tears flowed down the corners of her eyes, and she had no idea what her uncle was talking about.

  As soon as her uncle returned, he had started strangling her. Looking at the suspicion and jealousy on his face, Shi Sinan’s heart ached like it was torn apart.

  The past good sweet days were like a fleeting dream.

  Xi Mucheng’s heart also grieved as he looked at Shi Sinan’s dazed and innocent appearance. However, the thought that she was using this appearance to attract his attention surfaced in his mind again. Nonetheless, even though he was furious and wanted to kill her, his body was still agitated. He wished to have this woman scream under him, to tear her apart and possess her.
