Chapter 170: Taste of First Ever Cooking

Madame Xiao was angered to the point her body trembled and she started cursing loudly at the house. In the end, Master Xiao couldn't take the hunger anymore and had Madame Xiao make something to eat. Madame Xiao was someone who has always been waited upon. Her hands had never been exposed to the wind and rain. When suddenly told to make food, the taste was easily imaginable. After Master Xiao ate her cooking, he had diarrhea for an entire day.

Ning Shu went to meet with Li Xiuwen. There was a self-satisfied smile on his face. After all, there was nothing that made a person happier than having a beauty in his arms.

Li Xiuwen wanted to make it so that Xiao Yan died in prison, but Ning Shu refused to agree to it. Allowing Xiao Yan to just die like that was letting him off too easy. She said to Li Xiuwen, "Are you an idiot? If Xiao Yan really ended up dying in prison, wouldn't Su Meng long for him for an entire lifetime?" Currently the two had been separated right as their pa.s.sion was reaching a fever pitch. If they ended up separated forever, wouldn't Xiao Yan become the most perfect part of Su Meng's memories?

An expression of realization appeared on Li Xiuwen's face and he rapped the table with his fingers as he said, "That's true. Right now really is the best time for you to attack Xiao Yan's heart. Why don't we make a bet and see who will get their target to fall in love first? Whether you'll succeed with Xiao Yan or I'll succeed with Su Meng first."

Ning Shu: Scram! Why was it so disgusting when the people in this world talked?

Ning Shu obtained what was rightfully hers. Now not even the totalled a.s.sets of the Xiao and Su family could compare to hers. The Xiao family in particular really didn't have any money at all.

Xiao Yan's sentence was out. Due to the crime of hiring an a.s.sa.s.sin with the intention of harming another, he was sentenced to two years and a half years of jail. Xiao Yan refused to admit to the crime and arrogantly demanded for an appeal, but no one paid attention to him. The evidence was already conclusive, so who cared whether you admit to it or not.

When the two from the Xiao family got this news, they tried to force Ning Shu to get Xiao Yan out, but Ning Shu ignored them.

Madame Xiao looked at Ning Shu with resentment. This past period of time had been very rough for Madame Xiao. She questioned why she had to do everything herself. Her carefully maintained hands had already turned rough and her looks have also become haggard.

Ning Shu didn't eat at home at all, and Master and Madame Xiao didn't have any money on them so they had no choice but to do things themselves. The cooking and laundry all became the duties of Madame Xiao who once lived in luxury.

When Madame Xiao saw how comfortably Ning Shu was living, she was so envious poison was pretty much bubbling out from her heart. She felt incomparable longing for the time when there were servants to attend to them.

Madame Xiao tried to pull out her status as a mother-in-law, but Ning Shu immediately responded by kicking them out. The two who had no place else to go and no money on them immediately behaved again.

Master Xiao tried to use his old connections to get Xiao Yan out and get some capital to make a comeback. In the past when he called, those people would respond politely, but now, no one even bothered to pick up.

It angered Master Xiao to the point his blood pressure rose. These b.a.s.t.a.r.ds who threw stones at someone that met misfortune! They used to humbly bow to him, but now they've turned coat and immediately became all arrogant and aloof!

It has been almost a week since Xiao Yan had been arrested, even Su Meng couldn't quite take it anymore. Su Meng thought that Master Xiao would be able to get Xiao Yan out, but Xiao Yan has already been in there for such a long time.

Su Meng's heart would feel stabs of pain whenever it occurred to her that Xiao Yan was suffering, so she took the two children and came to find Ning Shu.

The moment Su Meng saw Ning Shu, she fell to a kneel in front of her and looked towards her with eyes that contained unbearable pain as she shouted, "Su Ran, I know you hate me! The one you hate is me, it has nothing to do with Xiao Yan! A sentence from you will be enough to get Xiao Yan out. Could it be that you can really bear to watch him to rot in prison?"

Ning Shu looked at Su Meng with an incredulous expression. Xiao Yan was a criminal ah, he's committed a crime. What did she mean by a sentence from her could get Xiao Yan out? Did she think that law worked this way?

"Mommy, don't kneel anymore. I'll think of a way to save Daddy, you don't need to beg this malicious woman." Su Dabao wanted to pull Su Meng up, but Su Meng persisted in kneeling in front of Ning Shu.

Hence, Su Dabao turned to glare at Ning Shu with a very sinister and malicious expression in his eyes.

Chapter 171: Offered the Position of the Female Master of the Xiao Family

Ning Shu looked at Su Meng who was kneeling in front of her. Su Meng's expression was filled with hurt and helplessness as if she was suffering a lot.

"Su Ran, I know you hate me, but Xiao Yan has nothing to do with this. I'm begging you, please save Xiao Yan. If you'll save him, I swear to never appear in front of him again." Su Meng's expression was completely that of 'she was willing to sacrifice herself for the sake of love, and was choosing to endure suffering herself in place of the person she loved.'

Ning Shu: …

She had no words to say, she seriously had no words to say.

Su Meng's face streamed with tears as she continued, "As long as you promise to let Xiao Yan off, I'll agree to break up with Xiao Yan."

Thud.

Master Xiao also knelt down in front of Ning Shu. The flesh on his face was twitching as if he had just suffered some great humiliation as he said, "Please let Xiao Yan out. If you do, in the future, you'll be the female master of the Xiao family and Xiao Yan won't ever divorce you."

When Su Meng heard this, she collapsed on the ground with an agonized and despirited expression.

Jesus ah. As of now, what benefit was there in being the Xiao family's female master? Not only was the Xiao family currently penniless, Xiao Yan was now a criminal.

Even the parents of the Xiao family had nowhere to go, so what was possibly attractive about the position of the Xiao family's female master? Why was Master Xiao still so self-confident? Did he really think other people cared about his son?

Ning Shu didn't bother responding and just called Li Xiuwen.

Li Xiuwen soon arrived. When he saw Su Meng kneeling on the ground, he hastily helped her up and asked, "Are you alright?"

Su Meng shook her head, still crying. "I'm fine. I'm just really worried about Xiao Yan."

When Su Meng said this, Ning Shu saw Li Xiuwen's face contort for a moment before it was restored to its usual gentle and considerate expression.

Was it really a good idea to bring Xiao Yan up in front of Li Xiuwen? Was it really alright for Su Meng to provoke Li Xiuwen this way?

It was fortunate for her that Li Xiuwen could endure it.

Ning Shu said to Li Xiuwen, "Tie up your family's dog properly instead of letting her run wild, alright? Look crazy she's already getting."

Li Xiuwen didn't say anything and just left with Su Meng, who was still crying, and Su Dabao, who had a dark expression on his face.

Master Xiao had been kneeling this entire time. He was already quite old and had knelt for a long time, so his legs were now completely numb. When he saw that Ning Shu paid no attention to him, his face started contorting. From the start it was humiliating for a father-in-law to kneel to the daughter-in-law, and with Master Xiao's arrogant personality, this was practically an incomparable humiliation.

That was why, though Master Xiao was kneeling, he was glaring at Ning Shu with loathing and hatred in his eyes.

Ning Shu found it unbelievable. Even a normal person wouldn't consider helping Xiao Yan when faced with Master Xiao's att.i.tude. If you were going to beg someone, you should at least maintain the right att.i.tude.

However, Ning Shu did get Xiao Yan out. It was letting Xiao Yan off to easy to have him stay in jail for two years. What if Xiao Yan's sc.u.mbag aura activated inside the prison and he ended up obtaining n number of disciples? He'd end up becoming the boss of a crime syndicate by the time he came out.

It must be remembered that Xiao Yan was this world's male lead, his luck was strong enough to send him to the sky ah. It was best to take advantage of this time while Xiao Yan had nothing to get him out, then take steps to ensure that he would never have a chance to make a comeback.

Ning Shu used quite a lot of money and connections to get Xiao Yan out. She looked at Xiao Yan who was currently in a prison uniform and bald. His handsomeness had decreased by quite a bit. It just went to show the importance of a good hairstyle.

However, Xiao Yan's eyes still contained an arrogant, despotic expression. Ning Shu had no idea where his sense of superiority came from.

When Xiao Yan saw Ning Shu, the first sentence he said was, "Su Ran, you malicious woman! I won't fall in love with you even if you save me."

Ning Shu: …
