As for Old Shen, he was busy with year-end city hopping. The Su family would struggle to get a hold of him since he was constantly on the move.

“Having fun, my *ss.” Jiang Yin wanted to throw up on Shen Xi’s face. Shen Xi’s situation had Jinping worried sick on end. Afraid that it might be a handful for Shen Xi, Jinping was not in the mood for a vacation. “Su Yi called me just now. He wants to meet you. How have you been managing the Su family these past few days?”

Jiang Yin knew that she and Jinping could provide no assistance being there, so leaving trouble behind was the best choice. The Li family had Shen Xi’s back after all. The Su family had to think twice before trying to mess with Shen Xi.

“I’m doing well here. You and Mom shouldn’t worry, don’t read the messed-up news.” Shen Xi grinned. “Everything will soon come to an end.”

Jiang Yin’s furrow deepened following Shen Xi’s relaxed tone. “The Su family is a bunch of greedy ghouls. They have gone mad. I’m sure they’ll drag you down into the mess.”

She had an inkling after the phone call with Su Yi. Su Yi had not exposed Shen Xi’s identity merely because he wanted to suck her dry. Of course, they were brutes who would not let go of a goldmine like Shen Xi.

If Jiang Yin had a say, she would let Li Yuan step up to the plate and sort the Su family out once and for all rather than dance around with them. Nevertheless, Shen Xi probably did not have the heart since they were blood-related after all.

“I’ve set the stage for them. They got nothing on me.” Shen Xi smiled brightly while gazing at the sun out the window. She drew her hand over her forehead to shield herself from the sunrays.

The same thought had crossed her mind prior to knowing where her roots were actually from. What was she going to do if the Su family pulled her into the crossfire? Yet now, this was no longer a concern.

“I guess nothing I say will change your mind. Be careful. Go to Li Yuan if you can’t fix it. Make use of him, for heaven’s sake. I don’t know why you insist on handling it on your own.” There was not a day that went by that Jiang Yin was not worried. How could she not? People got desperate when they were cornered. The Su family was likely going to drag her down with them in times of desperation.

“Got it.” Shen Xi lifted her head to gaze at the man coming her way. With smiley eyes, she opened her mouth to be fed a mouthful of cake. The sweet taste lingered in her mouth and went straight to the heart. “My flight is about to take off. I’ve to hang up. Have fun with my mom and don’t worry. No hurries to get back. Turn off your phone so Su Yi won’t bug you again.”

Jiang Yin replied and gave some advice before ending the call. Thinking back to Shen Xi’s words, she had a strange feeling that the girl might have some tricks up her sleeve as Shen Xi seemed fearless against the Su family’s blackmail.

After hanging up, Shen Xi reached out to ask for a spoon from Li Yuan. She wanted to enjoy the cake herself.

Refusing her request, Li Yuan grabbed the plate and fed the cake to her spoon by spoon.

The afternoon sunlight bounced off the window and cast a warm hue on them, painting an affectionate and sweet picture that was soothing to the soul.

While some were happy, others were feeling dreary.

Since contacting Jiang Yin, Su Yi had been waiting for Shen Xi to get in touch with him. Mushi was in the ICU, waiting for a cash flow to stay alive, while Su Muxuan needed a good lawyer to get him out of jail. In the worst-case scenario, he had to leave the country and never come back.

However, a day went by and then another. Su Yi anxiously stared at his phone, yet nothing from Shen Xi. It was as though she disappeared from the face of the earth. Try as Su Yi may, he could not reach Shen Xi.

The 100,000 yuan Shen Xi gave them was used up. Su Mushi’s medical fees alone cost 18,000 yuan a night while their room charges were due today.

“Dad.” Su Muyan watched as Su Yi paced the room. With a grimacing look, he asked, “What are we going to do? Shen Xi, that brat, is leaving us in the cold. She would show her face by now if she cared for us.”

Su Yi clenched the phone in his hand. These past two days had been nerve-wracking. He would pick up the phone right away every time it rang, in fear he might miss the call from Shen Xi.

He waited and anticipated, but the lifesaving call never came. As time went by, his hopes slowly diminished to nothing. Pulling himself together, Su Yi drew a deep breath. “Let’s wait a little longer.”

“Dad.” Su Muyan could not take it anymore. The ordeal was driving him nuts. He might as well die at this rate. “Dad, who are you kidding? Shen Xi won’t help or save us. Muxuan and Mushi will die if you let the situation go on. We’re having a rough time, so she must feel our agony too. I’m going to post on Weibo now and tell everyone who she is.”

The last few days were like living in the depths of hell. Su Muyan could not keep up with such a miserable life.

“Go to your high school group chat, and look for Pei Xu, Song Wenye, anybody. Arrange a meeting with her for one o’clock later. If she still refuses to get in touch with us, I’ll tell it all on Weibo.” Su Yi thought hard and long before coming to a decision.

They could not afford to drag the situation on. Shen Xi may have had time and patience to dawdle with them, but they did not have the luxury.

The reveal of Shen Xi’s identity was his last resort. Shen Xi would likely end up like them and unable to remain in China the moment she was exposed.

Still, she had quite a number of assets to her name. If these assets were converted into cash, she would have enough to pay off his debts. With the debts cleared, Su Yi would have a chance to rebuild his empire.

Su Muyan found Pei Xu’s QQ account in the alumni’s group chat. To his delight, Pei Xu was online and replied to his private message, saying he would convey the message to Shen Xi.

Since then, Su Yi eagerly waited for Shen Xi’s call.

Su Muyan carefreely watched TV and munched on food while waiting for Shen Xi’s reply. He was convinced that Shen Xi would come looking for them and do whatever they wanted her to. She had no choice but to comply with their request.

Even if Su Mushi survived, he was to spend his life in a coma. It was hard for Su Muxuan to escape from behind bars judging by public opinion. The two biggest competitors in Su Muyan’s road to success eliminated themselves before he even made a move.. Standing to reap all the benefits, Su Muyan was living the life.
