Chapter 293 - Kick Her Out

“Happy?” Shen Xi’s eyebrows were slightly raised. She had a cool and mocking gaze as she swept a glance at Su Ruowan. “I remember that Su Ruowan’s hands almost got blown up because of me.”

Su Ruowan looked awkward and said, “I know that it was an accident.”

“Yes, it was,” Shen Xi continued to laugh. “But because of that, I was locked up in the courtyard for the entire night!”

Shen Xi remembered clearly that when she held the fireworks, it just did not seem to set off.

Su Ruowan said that she would take a look, but the moment Shen Xi handed the fireworks to her, the fireworks suddenly lit up and scraped Su Ruowan’s face.

Shen Xi later learned that Su Ruowan purposely blocked the opening of the fireworks to frame her.

She would never forget the time when she stood panicked and transfixed in the courtyard with the cold northern wind blowing as she received contemptuous, heartless, and cold glares from the whole family.

Shen Xi watched as they ushered Su Ruowan into the house with worry and heartache, while they left her alone and terrified, standing alone in the courtyard. No one knew just how sad and hopeless she felt at the time.

Su Mushi even viciously humiliated her and locked her up in the courtyard for the whole night because of Su Ruowan’s injury. The rest of the Su family did not know about it, nor did anyone care if she was left in the cold to die.

“Lil’ Sis, I’m sorry,” Su Ruowan looked at her with an innocent face. Her eyes welled up with distressed tears, “I didn’t know.”

Su Yi had long forgotten about that day and did not expect this to backfire. He coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment and said, “That’s all in the past, let bygones be bygones. Father will promise you that such things won’t happen again.”

“Lil’ Sis, what exactly do you want for you to agree to come home with us?” Su Ruowan asked in a soft and meek voice.

Shen Xi had a smile on her face, but her voice was cold and heartless as she said, “You can kneel and beg me.”

Su Ruowan’s face turned as pale as paper in an instant, and her eyes widened in disbelief, “Lil’ Sis!”

The smile on Su Yi’s face stiffened. He lowered his voice and said, “Xixi, there are so many people here, so don’t throw a tantrum, okay? Who locked you out that day? Tell Father and I’ll lock him up for two days to avenge you, okay? As long as you come back with me, Father can promise you anything.”

Su Yi used to be a movie star and a public figure. Now, he was a famous entrepreneur, so people would certainly recognize him on the plane. If anyone caught a glimpse of him begging, he would not be able to survive in the industry from shame.

Shen Xi smiled mockingly and pointed at Su Ruowan, “If you want me to go back, then kick her out.”

Su Yi’s face turned green as he was put in a difficult position. “Wanwan’s your sister. Just like you, she’s also my daughter.”

“You can’t give her up?” Shen Xi laughed out loud. Her gorgeous voice trailed, “Didn’t you say that you’d agree to anything as long as I go back with you?”

“Dad, as long as Lil’ Sis agrees to go back, I don’t mind doing whatever she wants,” Su Ruowan said as tears streamed down her aggrieved and pitiful face. Her body even trembled from sadness. However, she looked determined and stubborn as she looked at Shen Xi, “Lil’ Sis, I can leave. I beg you to just go home with Dad!”

Su Ruowan looked at Fu Qingxuan from the corner of her eyes.

‘Now he can see for himself how unreasonable, cold, heartless, and wicked this little b*tch Shen Xi was.’

“You leaving the Su family is just one condition.” Shen Xi’s smile was even more gorgeous as she continued, “Mr. Su, you need to break off all ties with your three beloved sons and kick them all out of the house. I don’t want them to be an eyesore to me. Then, you can give me all of the Su family’s assets. If you can do that, then I’ll think about returning to the Su family.”

Su Yi finally knew that Shen Xi was making a fool out of him and could not help but become infuriated. The darkness under his eyes surged and he tried with all his might to suppress the urge to slap Shen Xi to death. He looked at her and said, “Xixi, Father has some things to deal with. I’ll see you some other time.”

‘This damned brat! She really had a big appetite, huh? She demanded all of the Su family’s assets? I’ll never allow anyone to steal my assets, even if it’s my own children!’

Su Ruowan watched Su Yi leave and turned to follow. Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Fu Qingxuan and found that he had been looking at Shen Xi. His narrow and deep eyes had an unconcealed heartache and self-blame. This look made Su Ruowan exasperatingly jealous.

‘This damned Shen Xi!’

‘She was so arrogant and vicious! How was she worthy of his sympathy? I was the one who deserved to be pitied! It should be me!!’

Fu Qingxuan turned out to be blind and could not distinguish between right and wrong.

“Mr. Su, I’ve already told you my conditions, so think about it and get back to me,” Shen Xi looked at Su Yi’s back and giggled.

Su Yi heard her laughter and clenched his teeth tightly. If it was not for the benefits this brat could bring him, he would not be so tolerant of her. He would teach her a good lesson and show her who was the boss.

When Fu Qingxuan turned his head, he met Pei Xu’s gaze. He snorted and quickly averted his eyes.

Pei Xu looked at Shen Xi, “What you just said was true?”

“About me hurting Su Ruowan with fireworks?” Shen Xi smiled, then picked up the glass in front of her and took a sip of red wine. “Of course it’s true. I should’ve aimed straight for her eyes and blown up both of her eyes.”

Pei Xu looked at her saying such vicious words with the most innocent and pure eyes and the most beautiful face, yet he did not feel that there was anything wrong with it. He just felt delighted and clinked glasses with her. His words were even more brutal. “If it were me, I’d blow up her brains.”

His interest was piqued and asked Shen Xi to tell him what happened that night.

Shen Xi did not mind and retold the story vividly as if she was telling someone else’s story that had nothing to do with her.

Pei Xu knew that if she could talk about her past trauma like a joke, it meant that she had completely let it go and did not care about it, but somehow, he just felt more heartbroken for her.

Fu Qingxuan’s eyes had a complex look. When he thought of her getting framed on New Year’s Eve, the day of a supposed family reunion, how she was wronged and ignored and shut out in the cold night, he just felt like he had been stabbed in the heart.

‘Second Brother said she was pitiful.’

‘She really was very pitiful.’

In the future, he would definitely treat her well and love her. He would not allow anyone to bully her, and certainly would not let the Su family scumbags near her again.

In the airport.

Shen Zhangqing was holding a large banner in the crowd as he looked around longingly for his daughter amidst others who came to pick up their loved ones at the arrival hall.

After getting off the plane, Pei Xu ran away saying that he had something to do.

Shen Xi was relaxed as she carried a small backpack with her. She looked at Fu Qingxuan, who was lugging three suitcases by himself. She had a strange feeling because this Young Master was acting weird and insisted on carrying all her luggage without her help. He even threw a tantrum with her.
