Chapter 157: Got Burned by the System

Ning Shu felt that her head must have gotten kicked by a donkey for her to become dumb enough to try and collaborate with a supporting male lead. Could it be that stupidity was contagious and that she had already been infected?

Speaking of Li Xiuwen this supporting male lead ah, all his qualifications were good. He had a good background and also had good looks, then he had fallen head over heels in love with the female lead at first sight. When he was studying abroad, he got to know Su Meng whose stomach was already big with her babies. Following that, he looked after Su Meng all the way until they came back to the country. Then, after coming back, Su Meng started playing love tug-of-war with Xiao Yan.

And Li Xiuwen became the female lead's 'nice older brother,' an existence that often made the male lead jealous.

His role was so n.o.ble ah.

Li Xiuwen looked at the woman sitting in front of him. Her expression changed rapidly but he had no idea what she was thinking about.

He reached out with his slender fingers and knocked on the table, making brief, rhythmic sound. It snapped Ning Shu out of her thoughts.

"What exactly do you want to say? I'm sorry, but I need to leave now." Li Xiuwen's expression was a little dark.

Ning Shu guessed that he probably didn't want to keep looking at a malicious woman like her.

Could she just kill those people off and count the task as finished?

"Ding…"

Ning Shu heard the crackling of an electric current. This sensation was way too familiar. It's been a long time since she had heard the system's voice.

"Player's thoughts are inappropriate and do not conform with this world's rules. Player should give up on this idea. The original host offered up her soul for a chance at a better life, not to wake up and find herself in prison."

The system's voice was clearly very mechanical and emotionless, but for some reason she felt like she just got burned.

Li Xiuwen looked at the woman in front of him again. Her expression was now contorted. He felt like there was definitely something wrong with this woman.

He shook his head as he got up to leave. Inwardly, he was thinking, so it turned out that Xiao Yan's wife was mentally ill ah.

Ning Shu only came back to her senses when Li Xiuwen stood up. She hastily grabbed his elbow to pull him back down, then said coldly, "What's with you? The person hasn't even spoken, yet you keep saying you need to leave. Seriously!"

"It's not too late to leave after hearing what I have to say." Ning Shu looked at Li Xiuwen and directly said, "I want to collaborate with you and make the Xiao family collapse. Half the loot will belong to me, and let's do it as quickly as possible."

Li Xiuwen lifted his brows. "Why should I collaborate with you? And what capital do you even have to propose such a collaboration?"

"Moreover, the Xiao family is such an enormous corporation, but you're actually demanding for half of it?" Li Xiuwen almost asked, could you be more shameless?

Ning Shu laughed coldly and coolly pulled out a bunch of nice, soft, rmb, then threw them on the table. "This ma'am has plenty of money. Let's collaborate."

"But I feel like I don't gain anything." Li Xiuwen elegantly spread out his hands. "After I put in so much effort to make the Xiao family collapse, I still have to give you half of it."

Ning Shu almost spat out her non-existent water on his handsome face. She said, annoyed, "Don't be so greedy, you can already get the female… get Su Meng, what else do you want? You can freaking get Su Meng ah, what are you still discontent with?"

Did you know how much luck it would take for the female lead to end up together with a supporting male lead like you? It would be completely going against the Heavens and changing your fate of being a male supporting lead ah, yet you still weren't satisfied.

"You won't be able to obtain Xiao Yan either," said Li Xiuwen mildly.

"Pfff…" This time Ning Shu seriously almost spat her drink out on Li Xiuwen's face. Although she didn't, she still ended up spitting out her coffee. It was half because she had been startled and half due to disgust.

Chapter 158: Worried Someone Will Steal My Money

"Hahahahaha~" Ning Shu laughed coldly, then started putting the rmb on the table back into her bag.

When Li Xiuwen saw her movements, he asked in confusion, "Aren't we currently discussing how to make the Xiao family fall? You seem like you're about to leave."

"Handsome, I'll be leaving first," replied Ning Shu expressionlessly. You frickin' deserved your fate of being a pitiful supporting male lead.

Li Xiuwen blocked Ning Shu. "Sit back down, let's discuss some more. Why don't you take out all the money in your bag? Let me see how much you have."

"I can't," said Ning Shu firmly. "It's way too unsafe to take it out. I'm worried that someone will try to steal my money.

Li Xiuwen: …

He looked at her as if he was staring at a nutjob.

In the end, it was difficult, but they managed to arrive at a deal. Why was it difficult? It was because this b.a.s.t.a.r.d supporting lead actually wanted to decrease her share in the profit to one-tenth, which was pretty much equal to just tossing her a random bit.

There was no way Ning Shu could tolerate this. Since he could carry home the beauty, even if he lost all his a.s.sets in this exchange, it still counted as a good deal for him.

So Ning Shu used all sorts of method and finally got him to give her a four-tenth split.

"A friendly reminder: find a company to use as a front for baiting them. In front of Su Meng, you should work hard to maintain your clean and innocent image." Ning Shu patted his shoulder and left.

When she got back to the Xiao family home, the house was completely silent. Ning Shu found the atmosphere very relaxing. The Xiao family parents were staying at the hospital to look after their darling grandchildren and it was even less likely for Xiao Yan to come back without a reason.

While Ning Shu was enjoying the quiet, Xiao Yan was in a lot of pain. His children were lying on beds, barely breathing, and Su Meng was crying so much her eyes were swollen and red. He felt that if he didn't do anything, he wasn't worthy of being called a man.

Xiao Yan currently felt that the Su family was an extreme eyesore. They had already gained so much money from the Xiao family but return they actually sent them a malicious woman like Su Ran.

Then there was the fact that Su Bo, that b.a.s.t.a.r.d, actually killed Su Meng's parents. He definitely had to get justice for Su Meng for this matter.

Thus, Xiao Yan proceeded with the collaboration project just like in the original storyline. However, Su Bo now had some doubts so he didn't put out all of the Su family's money. He held a bit back even though he still didn't believe that the Xiao family would do something like cheating their friends.

When Madame Su called to tell Ning Shu about this, Ning Shu didn't say anything. Since the Su family trusted the Xiao family and Xiao Yan so much, then she'll just allow the Su family to face the consequences themselves.

She had no desire to put in effort to protect the Su family just to have the stupid younger brother offer all the family a.s.sets up to Su Meng. That outcome would be seriously ball-breaking.

Ning Shu had Li Xiuwen hurry forward with the operation. Xiao Yan had already started making his move, so she planned to attack him during his happiest moment, which was once he successfully made the Su family go bankrupt.

Meanwhile, Su Dabao and Su Xiaobao used their illness as a pretext to act spoiled and cute. They put all their efforts into playing matchmaker to increase the affection between Su Meng and Xiao Yan.

During this period, the hospital room was filled with the two children's voices and pink-colored bubbles of love. The two elders were also laughing with amus.e.m.e.nt as they watched. The scene was harmonious and beautiful, like that of a very loving family.

Xiao Yan constantly used his fiery pa.s.sionate gaze to look at Su Meng. Every time Su Meng reached out to grab something, he would purposefully grab her hand, causing Su Meng's face to flush.

In more concealed locations in the hospital, they would hug and kiss sweetly. Not far away, the two little imps watched with mischievous expressions on their faces.
