Chapter 1553: Fortunately, She Was Not Her Daughter

Ning Shu looked at Xi Mucheng, who was holding onto the wall while clamping his legs. A murderous aura rose in her heart; she should kill him directly.

The atmosphere was stagnant as cold sweat rolled down Xi Mucheng’s forehead. He glared at Ning Shu with reddened eyes.

Shi Sinan was busy getting off the bed. She blocked Ning Shu’s way and held up a delicately wrapped box.

“Mom...” said Shi Sinan. “Uncle was here to give me my birthday present.”

Ning Shu pivoted away from Shi Sinan and said coldly, “Can’t it be given at the party tomorrow?”

“Uncle said he wanted to give me a surprise.” Shi Sinan said hastily, “He said there’s a present now and a present tomorrow.”

“You shut up. I didn’t ask you.” Ning Shu snapped. “Coming to your room to bring you something in the middle of the night, even if he’s your uncle, he is still a male. In ancient times, even brothers and sisters had to take care and wouldn’t easily enter a woman’s boudoir.”

Shi Sinan was stunned by Ning Shu’s lecture, then she said, “What era was that?”

Even if times had changed, the boundaries between men and women still existed. To top it off, Xi Mucheng had sinister thoughts about Shi Sinan.

How could a woman like Shi Sinan not naturally sense the strange situation?

At the very least, she should be able to sense whether she was being treated as a junior or a woman.

Ning Shu took a deep breath, feeling like her lungs were going to explode. If it wasn’t for the fact that Shi Sinan was the protagonist of the banquet tomorrow, Ning Shu really wanted to slap her into a pig’s head.

Fortunately, she was not her daughter.

Ning Shu ignored the dark-faced Xi Mucheng and dragged Shi Sinan to the old man’s bedroom. She then knocked on the door.

The old man had obviously fallen asleep by now. He opened the door in a daze. Seeing the angry Ning Shu and uneasy Shi Sinan, he asked, “What’s going on?”

“Dad, what the hell does Xi Mucheng mean by coming to Sinan’s room in the middle of the night?” Ning Shu said to the old man, “You’d better investigate this Xi Mucheng.”

“Grandpa, Uncle came to my room to give me my birthday present,” said Shi Sinan.

The old man laughed. “It’s just a gift. I’ll talk to him tomorrow and tell him to pay attention.”

“Dad.” Ning Shu frowned.

“Go to bed.” The old man said, “You’re too old to stay up late.”

He then closed the door.

Ning Shu sighed. She pulled Shi Sinan to her bedroom and said, “Sleep here.”

Shi Sinan was tightly squeezing the gift from Xi Mucheng in her hands. Till now, she hadn’t opened the present, nor did she know what was inside.

When Shi Sinan saw Ning Shu leaving, she asked, “Mother, where are you going?”

“Going to see your uncle,” said Ning Shu.

Shi Sinan immediately said, “Mom, I have nothing to do with Uncle. Mom, don’t fight with him anymore.”

By the time something happened, it would be too late for anything.

Ning Shu wanted to just cripple Xi Mucheng. However, Xi Mucheng had mixed with gangsters since his childhood and had a strong sense of vigilance. It was already lucky that she could make him suffer twice.

Ning Shu looked at Shi Sinan, who was pulling her, and pushed her hand away. As she opened the door, Shi Sinan’s voice came from behind her.

“Mom, the current you is scary. No wonder Dad left us. Why don’t you just believe me?”

Ning Shu’s figure paused. She was scary!?

She suddenly wanted to laugh. The real scary one should be someone full of hatred who wanted to kill the Shi family, right?

However, in Shi Sinan’s world, anyone who didn’t do as she wished and mistreated her was scary.
