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.

Chapter 159: Broke Through the Last Defense Line

Su Meng and Xiao Yan's feelings quickly heated up and they finally broke through the last defense line and tumbled together. Meanwhile, Ning Shu, this legal wife was living by herself in a large house that was so empty her voice echoed when she spoke.

However, Ning Shu expressed that it was very comfortable. As long as those two didn't go at it in front of her, she could pretend she didn't know anything.

When she saw Li Xiuwen's pitch-dark expression, her heart filled with schadenfreude.

Ning Shu had only experienced two worlds before. In one, she had luckily managed to encounter Psycho, the school doctor uncle who was also twisted a genetics researcher. In the second world, she just used her status as a princess and her whip to resolve all the problems.

She had yet to experience trade war, so she partic.i.p.ated fully in this scheme to make the Xiao family collapse. She was taking advantage of every opportunity to learn.

If she had the ability to establish a trade empire on her own, she wouldn't have needed to go through the trouble of collaborating with Li Xiuwen, this d.a.m.ned supporting male lead. That was why, Ning Shu felt that she had to study hard.

Li Xiuwen didn't seem pleased to see Ning Shu. When he saw that she seemed completely unconcerned, he couldn't help but say, "Your husband is having an affair, why aren't you doing anything about it?"

Ning Shu looked at him in disbelief. So what if the person you like slept with another person? What use was it for you to get angry with me?

"Didn't I already tell you to hurry up? Based on how fast their pa.s.sion was growing, it's normal that they would end up sleeping together. If there's a first time, there'll be second time. There'll be a lot more times in the future, so you should just get used to it." Ning Shu consoled Li Xiuwen.

At the start, Su Meng couldn't accept Xiao Yan. Although she had already given birth to two of Xiao Yan's children, she still acted very reserved. If Xiao Yan wanted to successfully progress with her, he definitely had to deepen their feelings.

The living room, the sofa, the kitchen… They were all places for them to grow their pa.s.sion.

Ning Shu consoled Li Xiuwen while looking at him as if she was looking at a slow-poke turtle.

Li Xiuwen didn't feel comforted. On the contrary, his expression became even more unsightly and he looked towards Ning Shu with disbelief, "Your husband is together with another woman, yet you're still…"

Li Xiuwen didn't even know how to describe Ning Shu anymore. He rapped the table, vexed. "You love your Xiao Yan so much that you don't even care about him being with another woman?"

Love what? She loved Xiao Yan? Even an idiot could tell that she didn't like Xiao Yan, alright? Could it be that no matter what she did, it had to be related to love? Why didn't they accuse her of taking a fancy to the Xiao family's money?

Alright, fine. Right now the supporting male lead-sama has already been driven crazy by the recent events, so she just said, "You should hurry and make your move. Otherwise their feelings will just grow and… you know."

Ning Shu lifted her brows towards Li Xiuwen in a vulgar manner.

Li Xiuwen took a deep breath then pointed towards the door. His voice was low and deep as eh said, "Scram…"

Ning Shu flipped her hair back and left happily. When she got back to the Xiao family home, a servant told her that there were people waiting for her in the living room.

When Madame Su saw Ning Shu, she forced a smile and asked, "Ran, have you been well?"

Ning Shu smiled towards Madame Su and replied, "Yes, I've been very well."

Ning Shu hadn't gone back to the Su family home even once since last time when she hit the original host's younger brother. Her actions seemed to imply that she had no intentions to have any more dealings with the Su family.

Yet they had suddenly come to look for her. It only took Ning Shu a brief moment to realize it was because of the collaboration project. They had chosen to believe in Xiao Yan over her, their daughter, so what was the point in looking for her now?

She'd answer: there was no use at all.
