Chapter 148: Another One Lost to the Mary Sue Halo

"After getting married, your duty is to support your husband and educate your children. Your place is in the home, don't mingle in business matters," said Su Bo. "Take care of your body. Only the child you give birth to will be the real successor to the Xiao family. Su Meng's children are just illegitimate children; they won't be able to shake your position."

Ning Shu's heart sank a little. She hadn't expected Su Bo to be so obstinate and to not believe her at all. Could it be that the Su family being swallowed by the Xiao family really was an inescapable fate?

Ning Shu thought for a moment, then felt that she had been too impatient. The business between the Xiao family and Su family has always been good and no problems had ever occurred, so it was normal that Su Bo didn't believe her when she suddenly said that the Xiao family was planning to harm the Su family.

Su Bo probably thought that she had brought this up because she had been too emotionally hurt from losing her child and the appearance of Su Meng, this love rival.

Ning Shu felt that it was necessary to find evidence in order to convince Su Bo, but at the same time, she shouldn't put all her hopes on the Su family.

She finally understood how the Su family ended up completely collapsing so quickly. It was because Su Bo trusted the Xiao family too much and never imagined that Xiao Yan would make the Su family go bankrupt with one move.

"Ran, will you be having lunch here?" Madame Su asked Ning Shu. Ning Shu shook her head. She had already achieved today's goal. "I won't be eating here."

Ning Shu then warned Su Bo seriously one more time. "Dad, in a little while, the Xiao family will start developing a plot of land. I hear that it's a government plan, so they'll definitely have the Xiao family partic.i.p.ate as well. This will probably be the project in which Xiao Yan moves to attack our family. Perhaps I'm overthinking, but Dad, it's best if you watch out a little."

Although the route of relying on the Su family wouldn't work, there were still other routes available. This brief interaction was enough for Ning Shu to see that Su Bo looked down on women a lot. In addition, since she had already gotten married, she didn't really count as a member of the Su family anymore.

Su Bo was probably inwardly angry that she came back to try and make the two families enemies.

Ning Shu thought about it and felt that it was pretty meaningless to stay. She had come back to warn him with good intentions, but he didn't appreciate it at all. She was just about to leave when Su Ran's younger brother came back.

Su Lan was currently in college. When he saw Ning Shu, he greeted her with a call of 'big sister.' Then his gaze s.h.i.+fted towards Ning Shu's stomach and he said, "Sis, don't be too hurt. Children are just too young to know any better."

Ning Shu narrowed her eyes slightly. How had they put it? It was an accident? Ning Shu looked at Su Lan. Su Lan looked quite similar to Su Bo. He was wearing a white s.h.i.+rt and looked very refined. He was probably one of the handsomest boys at his school.

"Who was the one that told you Su Dabao didn't do it on purpose?" Ning Shu knitted her brows as she continued looking at him.

An expression of disagreement appeared on Su Lan's face. "Cousin Su Meng already explained to me that her son didn't do it on purpose. Sis, you're definitely hurt since you lost your child, but you shouldn't blame the incident on a little kid."

These words were practically saying, even if you want to frame someone, you shouldn't frame a kid.

Inwardly, Ning Shu tilted her head back to roar towards the sky: it's another man that is kneeling to the Mary Sue halo ah! Why did men kneel so much beneath the Mary Sue halo? Why did they fall to being cannon fodder so much? Ning Shu could feel twinges of pain coming from her heart. Her own younger brother didn't believe her and instead, was actually taking Su Meng's side and speaking for her

The original host had been very angry with her younger brother, but also helpless against it, so it just made her hate Su Meng more.

However, there was only one thing Ning Shu felt which was: could she whip this brat?

Chapter 149: Su Lan

Ning Shu never imagined that the original host's younger brother would actually be such an idiot. Could it be that this was due to the storyline? There had to be at least one good person within the enemy ranks? Well, at least a person that counted as good to Su Meng.

Ning Shu looked at Su Lan. He looked like a little fresh meat with a very clean temperament. He was nowhere as wild and as cool as the male lead, Xiao Yan.

Tsk tsk. This was the successor to the Su family? In the future, the responsibility of the Su family was going to fall to Su Lan, this love-struck idiot.

>Little fresh meat is an internet buzzword in China used to describe handsome young males. It is most commonly used for celebrities, particularly a rising star.

"Su Lan, apologize to your sister." Madame Su saw that her daughter seemed irked. "She's your older sister, how could you believe whatever Su Meng says?" Madame Su loved her son a lot, but her daughter was also a chuck of flesh from her body. She was starting to loathe Su Meng even more since Su Meng was the cause of her children fighting.

Su Lan furrowed his brows and said obstinately, "In this incident, Sis was the one who was in the wrong. Everyone is very sad that she lost her child, but it's not right for her to try to frame someone for it."

Ning Shu rolled her eyes and inwardly laughed at how ridiculous this was. She walked to Su Lan and stood straight in front of him. She wasn't as tall as him and had to tilt her head back to look up at him, but her gaze still caused Su Lan's heart to tremble for a moment. Her gaze was very cold and indifferent, which caused Su Lan to feel a bit fl.u.s.tered.

Ning Shu knitted her brows as she looked at Su Lan. "Were you present at the scene? Did you know how the incident occured?"

Before Su Lan even had the chance to reply, Ning Shu slapped him so hard his head was forced to the side.

Su Lan turned back to glare at her with fury in his eyes.

Ning Shu's slap stunned everyone present. Su Bo's expression immediately turned ugly when he saw that his daughter had hit his son. Moreover, his daughter had already gotten married so she counted as belonging to another family, yet she was now sticking her nose in his family matters and even went so far as to slap his son!

Su Bo gave a cold humph, but Ning Shu didn't feel much of anything in reaction. In life, one must save oneself before the Heavens might save them. Ning Shu had a very bad impression of Su Bo, this parent. There was no way she could set about completing this task from the Su family when the head of the household was an old-fas.h.i.+oned inflexible man and the younger brother had long fallen to kneel beneath the Mary Sue halo. If this family collapsed, they brought it on themselves.

Only Su Ran and Madame Su were able to resist the Mary Sue halo to a degree since they were women. However, due to this, in Su Lan's heart, he viewed his older sister and mom as bad people.

Madame Su stared blankly at Ning Shu for a few moments before she said, "What are you doing? You're currently hurting your family while allowing your enemies to celebrate."

Ning Shu laughed lightly. Ignoring Su Lan's anger-filled glare, she lifted her hand and gave him another slap. "You're already an adult, yet you can't tell right from wrong at all. Without the Su family, you'd just be trash."

He was nothing but a brat that lived like a prince by relying on the Su family. Once Xiao Yan destroyed the Su family, this little prince would have to go eat dirt. A person like Su Lan who was always a beat slow and looked like a complete uke was definitely perfect material for being topped.

Ning Shu looked down on brainless people like Su Lan the most. He wouldn't even know it if women played him. There was probably no need for Xiao Yan to even make a move, Su Lan would probably be happy to offer the Su family up with both hands in order to dissolve the hatred left by the previous generation and make up for all that the female lead had suffered.

The Mary Sue halo sure was powerful.

"What right do you have to hit me!? Su Ran, you're so selfish and heartless! It serves you right that no one loves you! Your life is so meaningless and your heart is malicious too." The other half of Su Ran's face was starting to swell.

Ning Shu: How did such a stupid person manage to get born?

She smiled and lifted her hand to give him another slap. Ning Shu suddenly realized that she had fallen in love with the sensation of slapping faces. The two halves of Su Lan's face now formed a very bright and fresh contrast.
