Chapter 162: Let Go and Seek a New Life?
As Ning Shu took in Su Lan's actions, she felt like there was no one in the world that could make people more speechless. He didn't notice that his dad was having to humble himself towards others and just worked on presenting himself as a good guy to two kids. This type of person should be extremely grateful that he was lucky enough to be born in a rich family. If he had been born in a lower cla.s.s family, a blockhead like him would have died countless times by now.
Madame Su, who was standing next to Ning Shu, was so angered by this scene that she was practically about to faint. Her son was actually trying to curry favor with a s.l.u.t's children!?
Ning Shu reached out and squeezed Madame Su's hand. She could understand Madame Su's current feelings.
She glanced towards the two children and they immediately made scared expressions and hugged Xiao Yan's legs as if she was going to do something to them.
Xiao Yan immediately moved to protect his children. He looked at the members of the Su family, then said with a disdainful tone, "Since you guys are all here, I'll take this chance to tell you." Xiao Yan pointed at Ning Shu. "I'm going to divorce her, right now."
The Xiao family didn't really show much reaction when Xiao Yan said that he wanted to get divorced, but the Su family instantly exploded. Madame Su was especially stirred up and she asked Madame Xiao, "Why do you guys suddenly want to get a divorce? What has my daughter done wrong? Even if you guys want to divorce, you should at least give us an explanation."
Su Bo's face had also turned pale. He had been hoping his daughter could help them get some working capital from the Xiao family, but the Xiao family had just expressed their intentions to sweep his daughter straight out the door.
He finally understood that the Xiao family had purposefully cheated the Su family. They had probably done it with the intention of taking over the Su family. Su Bo's immediately started to despair.
Meanwhile, Ning Shu seemed unconcerned. There was no expression on her face and she didn't cry or make a fuss. She didn't even seem hurt.
Su Meng said to Ning Shu, "Although there are a lot of misunderstandings between us, I still hope that you can find someone who will love you. I once thought about revenge but now…" Su Meng glanced up at Xiao Yan and they smiled at each other. Taking his hand, Su Meng continued, "There are things more beautiful than that in the world. Cousin, you should let go as well and seek a new life. If you keep being obstinate like this, everyone will suffer."
Ning Shu felt her stomach churn. Please, don't gross people out so much. The Su family has already been scammed by the Xiao family yet you were here babbling about not getting revenge? And even asking her to back out so that you guys could have a happy and beautiful life?
Ning Shu felt like her perspective of the world had been smashed into paste.
"There's no way I'll agree to the two getting divorced," said Madame Su firmly. She glared sinisterly at Su Meng with hatred that came from her bones.
Xiao Yan stepped in front of Su Meng to s.h.i.+eld her from Madame Su's glare and said coldly, "As expected, like mother, like daughter. Both of you have such malicious hearts. This divorce is not up for discussion. It will happen whether you like it or not."
Su Lan frowned as he said to Madame Su, "There's no love between Sis and Brother-in-law at all. Mom, if you keep forcing the two to be together, it'll just cause more unhappiness for everyone."
"You…" Madame Su looked at her son with disbelief and reeled from the shock and disappointment.
"Slap, slap…"
Ning Shu turned towards Su Lan and doled out two slaps. Su Lan glared at Ning Shu. "You hit me again!?"
Su Meng pointed at Ning Shu. "H-how could you hit him?" Then she looked towards Su Lan with sympathy in her eyes.
When Xiao Yan saw this, he recalled how Ning Shu had hit him in the hospital. Right now, those slaps seemed to hurt as if he was the one that had been slapped.
Thus, he glared at Ning Shu with resentment.

Chapter 163: Was There Nothing In This World But Love!?
Every time these people opened their mouths, it was about love. She expressed, f.u.c.k love! Could it be that there was nothing in this world but love? That there was no duty, no responsibility?
Ning Shu suppressed her anger. Ever since she came to this world, she had been enduring these idiots. This ma'am won't bother bickering with you, this ma'am will just kill you guys off later.
It was seriously exasperating. Ning Shu slapped Su Lan a couple more times, then kicked him aside and walked to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan was much taller than Ning Shu, so much so that Ning Shu could be described as delicate in comparison. However, Ning Shu's expression was extremely cold and her eyes contained icy murderous intent.
Xiao Yan couldn't help but be intimidated and subconsciously retreated a few steps. However, he realized that he couldn't show fear in front of this malicious woman and lifted his chest with a cold laugh. "You're this vicious even towards your own younger brother? The Xiao family definitely cannot tolerate having a malicious woman like you in the family."
Ning Shu looked at Xiao Yan for a brief moment, then kicked him down. Although the system had rated her combat skills as trashy, it was still effective when the opponent was off guard.
"You…" Su Meng pointed at Ning Shu as she gaped in shock. Ning Shu rapidly sent Su Meng a slap, then slapped her again with the back of her hand.
Su Meng's face instantly swelled up and she glowered at Ning Shu. Xiao Yan was furious when he saw that this malicious woman had actually hit Su Meng. He was about to get up when Ning Shu kicked him viciously on the chest right where his heart was.
Xiao Yan's face turned deathly white and he gasped sharply.
"Waaah…."
"Waaah, Grandma, I'm scared…"
The two children cried loudly. It was clear that they really had been frightened this time. Even Su Dabao was looking at Ning Shu with fear.
Ning Shu said coldly, "Shut up."
Ning Shu's voice carried strong killing intent so the two children immediately shut their mouths. However, they kept hiccuping. Su Dabao glared at Ning Shu darkly with an expression filled with resentment.
"This is outrageous! What do you think you're doing!?" Madame Xiao shrieked as she pointed at Ning Shu.
Even the members of the Su family were stunned by Ning Shu's fearless actions.
Master Xiao looked at Ning Shu with a dignified and cold expression. "You're completely out of control! You practically have no respect for the Xiao family at all!"
The two parents' faces were ashen. When they saw how frightened the two children were, they felt heartache for them and directed their anger towards Ning Shu.
Ning Shu dusted off her hands, unconcerned, then stomped down on Xiao Yan's chest again. Xiao Yan's face turned even more pale and he gave a m.u.f.fled groan of pain.
She was clearly a woman, so how was she this strong? Her leg felt like a thousand catties were crus.h.i.+ng his chest. His heart felt about to be crushed. What was even more unbearable was the fact that her actions were completely destroying his dignity. He was Xiao Yan!
This woman, this woman… how dare she!?
Xiao Yan truly wanted to kill her.
Ning Shu retrieved her leg and looked around at the people present. Everyone that sensed her gaze felt their skin p.r.i.c.kle with apprehension. "I'll destroy whoever that dares to bring up divorce again."
"You…" Xiao Yan climbed up from the ground and glared at her murderously. His expression was exactly the same as that of Su Dabao's.
Su Meng covered her face and looked at Ning Shu like she was a criminal. "You're beyond saving."
This time, Xiao Yan didn't bring up divorce anymore and just left with Su Meng and the two children. He looked like he had resolved to never come back.
Ning Shu gave a cold laugh as she watched the four leave. They should give up any hope of ever coming back to this villa in this lifetime.

Chapter 164: If Not Divorce, Then…
The Su family also left with Su Lan whose face was swollen like a pig's. Su Bo's expression was very cold. The events earlier had completely severed the ties between the two families, so the Su family's decline was now set in stone.
Madame Su looked toward Ning Shu worriedly.
Meanwhile, Master Xiao and Madame Xiao both glared at Ning Shu, then turned to look sadly in the direction the children had left in.
Ning Shu didn't care about the two children looking at her with loathing at all.
On the other hand, Xiao Yan returned with Su Meng and the children to Su Meng's little apartment. The moment they entered the apartment, the two children started crying while hugging his legs.
It was the first time Xiao Yan saw the children cry this hard. The two have always been very sensible and mature, so his heart ached when he saw them crying so hard. He quickly picked them up and hugged them while coaxing them.
Then he saw that Su Meng was sitting on the sofa and covering her face, so he went over to hug Su Meng. As he stroked her face gently, he vowed between gritted teeth, "Don't worry, I'll definitely get revenge for you. Su Ran has humiliated me so many times, I definitely won't let her off just like this."
The two children stayed close to Xiao Yan. Su Dabao wiped his tears as he asked, "Daddy, will that woman keep bully Mommy?"
"Don't worry, it won't happen again." Xiao Yan rubbed Su Dabao's head and said darkly, "There won't be a next time. I'll have Su Ran, that malicious woman, completely disappear." That woman didn't even recognize good intentions. If she didn't want to get divorced, then she should just die.
Su Dabao's lips hooked in a smile. Su Xiaobao smiled through her tears and hugged Xiao Yan's arm. "Daddy, you're the best!"
Unease appeared on Su Meng's face and she looked towards Xiao Yan with her glistening almond eyes. "That's not really good."
"Mommy, you're just too nice. A malicious woman like that deserves to be punished," said Su Dabao with conviction.
"Yup, yup, Big Brother's right." Su Xiaobao nodded with an adorably innocent expression.
Only then did a smile appear on Su Meng's face. However, it tugged at the injury on her face and she cried out in pain. The three immediately became worried and took turns comforting her.
Su Meng felt happy and blessed. Although Su Ran was still in the way, she was confident the love between her and Xiao Yan would prevail to give them a happy ending.
On this side, Ning Shu was not aware of the danger waiting for her. She had just gotten news from Li Xiuwen that he was proceeding with the plan. It seemed that their target had already taken the bait. This scheme wasn't directly targeting Xiao Yan but the people working for Xiao Yan's company.
Suddenly, Ning Shu felt a chill down her back and her heart jumped. She had experienced this feeling a lot last lifetime when she was fighting. This was the feeling she would get whenever there was danger. It was a warning sign.
Ning Shu narrowed her eyes. She had probably p.i.s.sed Xiao Yan off too much and he ended up deciding to just kill her off in order to marry Su Meng and proceed towards a perfect, happy ending.
She kept this in mind as she settled down in the Xiao family home and hardly went out anymore. Every day Madame Xiao would indirectly curse at her, but no matter how ugly her words were, it'd just go in one ear and out the other. However, whenever Madame Xiao met Ning Shu's cold gaze, she would immediately lose her voice.
Master Xiao and Madame Xiao were supportive of Xiao Yan leaving the Xiao family home. After all, what could possible be worse for a woman than being ignored and hated by her own husband?
She deserved to be loathed by her own husband and deserved to be abandoned, thought Madame Xiao maliciously as she watched Ning Shu head upstairs.

Chapter 165: Xiao Yan's Murder Attempt
Ning Shu could sense that there was something off about the atmosphere in the house lately. No matter what she was doing, she sensed that someone was watching her.
And the spy even harbored malicious intentions. The hairs on her back rose from the feeling of danger.
Ning Shu dared to use this body's head as a wager, this was definitely that b.a.s.t.a.r.d, Xiao Yan's doing. Ning Shu tried to find the person who was watching her but wasn't successful.
Hence, she could only focus on being even more careful. One thing that made her happy was the fact that their plot to make the Xiao family collapse was almost complete.
She still had to face Madame Su's ridiculing and taunting everyday, but she just treated it as a dog's dying barks.
When Ning Shu didn't bother to respond, Madame Xiao hated her even more and started using different methods to torment her. For example, she would order the servants not to wash Ning Shu's clothes or not to prepare her meals. In short, she made Ning Shu's position in the house so low it couldn't even compare to that of a servant.
Madame Xiao would often mock her for being a chicken that couldn't pop out any eggs. Ning Shu was speechless. There was once an egg, but you guys had already smashed it.
Madame Xiao's actions were purposefully rubbing salt on Ning Shu's wound. Every time this body heard words like this, it would react with hatred and hurt.
It was a good thing it was Ning Shu facing Madame Xiao right now. If it had been the original host standing there, she would've already been driven crazy by Madame Xiao.
It seemed like the current Madame Xiao hated her even more than she had in the original storyline. It was probably because she done far worse things than the original host.
Meanwhile, Master Xiao acted like he didn't see anything, which was clearly tacit approval.
Ning Shu didn't mind their att.i.tude at all. The only thing she cared about was the person in this house that was watching her with such a malicious gaze.
It had already been half a month since Xiao Yan left. This made the people in the Xiao family look at Ning Shu with even more disdain.
Ning Shu: …
This particular night, Ning Shu was sleeping when her heart rate suddenly sped up irregularly and her body abruptly became covered with sweat.
When she opened her eyes, she found that there was something glinting with cold light above her.
Her body reacted faster than her brain and instinctively rolled to the side. Following that, she heard the sound of a knife stab onto the bed.
f.u.c.k! Someone was trying to kill her with a knife! Ning Shu was stunned for a moment by this simple and crude method. She had thought of countless possibilities, but had never considered that this person would use such a straightforward method.
The person turned to run so Ning Shu reflexively kicked that person. Following that, there was a thud as the person hit the ground.
Ning Shu quickly opened the lights and turned to look at the person on the ground. It was a woman and she was still holding a large knife in her hand. It was a knife big enough to chop through bone. Had this knife successfully cut her, her head would already have been separated from her body.
The sudden bright light pierced the woman's eyes so she lifted her arms to block it. Before she could react, Ning Shu had already s.n.a.t.c.hed away her knife.
Following that, Ning Shu violently kicked her a couple times. The middle-aged woman's wails of pain immediately broke the silence of the night.
Ning Shu grabbed the woman by her collar and dragged her into the living room.
