Ning Shu narrowed her eyes at him. “Oh, your boss died in the Shi family, so you want to avenge him?”


  The man snorted and said carelessly, “Why would I take revenge for a dead man? I am happy to see Xi Mucheng die. In fact, many share my feelings.”


  The corner of Ning Shu’s mouth twitched. Xi Mucheng was quite unpopular. In order to show his male dominance, he used an iron hand to reign over his underlings, like an ancient emperor.

  Ning Shu was wary that she might face the counterattack of his forces, but now, there was no such concern.

  After the funeral, Ning Shu went to the cemetery and casually found a place to bury Xi Mucheng.

  Once she was done with Xi Mucheng’s funeral affairs, Ning Shu’s heart immediately relaxed a lot. She no longer had that feeling of a crisis.

  However, now, there was another worry: Shi Sinan. She had been unable to accept Xi Mucheng’s death.

  In Shi Sinan’s heart, her uncle was the one who would spend her life with her. No matter what she went through in between, they would end up happily together.

  This feeling was intense, so much so that Shi Sinan considered Xi Mucheng as her true destiny.

  Shi Sinan was hugging the blanket and crying wretchedly. It seemed that until she went blind, she would not stop. It was to the point that the old man, who was recuperating, could not stand it any longer. He returned to the hospital.

  Ning Shu did not know how to describe Shi Sinan’s distraught expression. Was this really that painful?

  Shi Sinan went on a hunger strike and refused to eat. However, with the amount of food she needed, if she skipped one meal, she would eat double on the next.

  So hunger strike or whatever wasn’t at all useful. Shi Sinan stuffed things into her mouth while in pain.

  It was probably because starving was too unbearable for her, so she wanted to stuff everything in her mouth. In the end, Shi Sinan sneakily took a blade and slit her wrists to commit suicide.

  She was lying in a wide bathtub and had a blade in her hand. It must be known that Shi Sinan was now very fat. To reach her blood vessels, she h ad to first get through a thick layer of fat. Once the blade cut into her meat, the pain could only be imagined.

  However, Shi Sinan endured it all. As long as the thought of her uncle turning into ashes flashed in her mind, she would be in such torment that she wished to die.

  It was a maid, who was delivering the meal, that noticed her disappearance. She searched through the house and finally found her in the bathroom.

  Her wrist was resting on the edge of the tub, and blood was dripping onto the floor.

  Ning Shu was at work when she got the news. She instantly rushed to the hospital.

  Shi Sinan was unconscious and had a bandage on her wrist.

  Ning Shu was tired of Shi Sinan and her antics. After all that effort raising her, here she was committing suicide for a man that had never done anything for her.

  To give up her life so easily, didn’t she know how precious life was? Meanwhile, Ning Shu was bouncing from world to world just to live.

  When those born with silver spoons in their mouths encountered something, they immediately had to look for death. They did not know the difficulties of survival.

  This was just torturing themselves with their self-inflicted pain. Furthermore, only the heroine had the right to be so willful. Ning Shu wanted to see how far Shi Sinan would go.

  If their stomach was empty, where would they have the time to feel sorrow over such trivial things? To worry about warmth, lust, and desire?

  If the money used to raise Shi Sinan was used on pigs, they would have already made a fortune.

  Ning Shu sat on the edge of the bed. She watched the sleeping Shi Sinan, who was shedding tears even in sleep.

  When the old man heard that Shi Sinan had attempted suicide, he rushed over from his hospital. He shook his head when he saw her. “This child is ruined.”


  The old man was in poor condition. The car accident and the kidnapping had left a toll on the old man’s body. He had aged a lot in a few days, and his hair was already frosty white.

  The old man said to Ning Shu, “This family, please support it a little more.”


  After saying these words, he let the nurse push him away.
