Chapter 1555: A Birthday Surprise

As the power went out, the hall was plunged into darkness. One couldnt even see their fingers.

Ning Shu tugged tightly on s.h.i.+ Sinans arm and waited for the lights to come on.

A lot of people had taken out their phones, which made the place a little brighter.

Ning Shu faintly saw someone walking straight towards s.h.i.+ Sinan.

The figure looked like Xi Muchengs.

Xi Mucheng leaned into s.h.i.+ Sinans ear, said something, and left.

The place wasnt bright enough, so Ning Shu couldnt see the expressions of Xi Mucheng and s.h.i.+ Sinan. She also failed to hear what Xi Mucheng had said to s.h.i.+ Sinan.

Xi Mucheng only spoke briefly to s.h.i.+ Sinan before leaving.

After Xi Mucheng left, s.h.i.+ Sinan said to Ning Shu, Mom, Im going to go to the bathroom.

Wait a moment. Wait for the electricity to come back. Ning Shu still clung to s.h.i.+ Sinans arm.

What did your uncle just say to you? asked Ning Shu.

No... nothing, said s.h.i.+ Sinan.

Ning Shu asked suspiciously, Was it really nothing? Im your mother. You can tell me anything.

Its just that, its just that Uncle prepared a birthday surprise for me outside, said s.h.i.+ Sinan.

Ning Shus face went stern. Her grip on s.h.i.+ Sinans arm tightened, and she said, This banquet is for you. How can you suddenly run away? Wait until this is over, and Ill go with you. Its so late at night, its not safe for you to go out.

To get close to Xi Mucheng was simply asking for death, like sending meat to a wolfs den.

This... s.h.i.+ Sinan was hesitant. Her uncle had told her to go alone, that it was a birthday surprise he specially prepared for her.

The electricity will be back soon. Ning Shu said, This birthday party is for you. You have to stay to the end. As a rich girl, cant you even do this?

s.h.i.+ Sinan wanted to leave more and more. It was such a boring party and her uncle must still be waiting for her outside.

s.h.i.+ Sinan suddenly wrenched her hand out of Ning Shus grip and said, Mom, Ill be right back.

She disappeared like a puff of smoke after saying that. There wasnt enough light, so Ning Shu couldnt find s.h.i.+ Sinan.

Ning Shu: ...

Ning Shu trotted out of the banquet hall with her skirt lifted and saw a car driving away.

She looked at the increasingly distant tail lights and smirked. The storyline was truly irreversible.

No, it was not the storyline that was irreversible; it was the heart. Whatever that handsome, amazing uncle said was right.

Since he was so handsome, he would be right about anything.

Ning Shu returned to the banquet, which had become brighter since the power was back.

She walked towards the old man who was talking to someone else and said, Dad, I have something to tell you.

The old man went to one side with Ning Shu and asked, Whats wrong?

s.h.i.+ Sinan is missing. Ning Shu looked at the old man. She ran away with Xi Mucheng.

Dad, I dont know why you indulge Xi Mucheng so much, but his existence has me by the throat, said Ning Shu directly.

The old man who was wearing a Tang suit clasped his hands behind his back with a frown. Where did these two go?

Who knows? Ning Shu had wholly given up on s.h.i.+ Sinan and would never bother with her again.

The old man said, Ill call Xi Mucheng.
