Madam Shi looked at her own son in horror. “So, you mean to say that you won’t rest till you fight with Lu Yanchen to the death?”

Since the can had already been opened, Shi Ze did not have to hide from his mother anymore as he replied icily, “Yes!”

Madam Shi’s body swayed as she nearly fainted over. Gripping the side of the sofa and containing her emotions best as she could, she looked at him with reddened eyes. “Shi Ze, are you trying to anger me to death?”

“MUM!” Sensing that something was off about Madam Shi, Shi Ze patted her back to help her breathe.

“Take it that I’m begging you, please don’t fight with the Lus any longer. Please stop!”

“It’s too late for that right now. Since the fight has already begun, there’s no way Lu Yanchen would let me off either.”

“As long as you’re willing to stop, I can go talk to Auntie Lingshuang. The moment Lingshuang speaks for you, Lu Yanchen would definitely heed her words and won’t trouble you because of this affair!”

Shi Ze’s expression turned dark—he would never forget how his mother had kowtowed before the Lus, shredding every single bit of her dignity before the Lus were willing to let him off for the matter of pushing Lu Yanchen into the waters.

It wasn’t as though Lu Yanchen had died, yet the Lus were clearly humiliating them!

Taking a deep breath, he tried his best to repress his anger. “Mum, I’ll settle this issue. Trust me, we’ll definitely win!”

“Win? I don’t want you to win anything, I just want you to live on properly! Have some children and build a harmonious family! Child, why can’t you just understand?” Madam Shi’s heartfelt advice were rendering her own heart breaking.

Yet, Shi Ze was not ready to pay it heed.

He had long been buried so deeply in hatred that he had lost all sense of logic.

“Alright, I got it mum. I’m tired, I’ll head to rest first.” He then stood up to return to his room.

Looking at the way he was, Madam Shi knew that he had not heeded her words at all, and was so worked up that her temple was pounding while she gripped her fists tightly—why must her son be so stubborn?

She made a call on her phone.

Before long, the call connected as she sighed. “I’m sorry, Lingshuang, it’s all my fault. I have failed in raising my son! But please, I’m begging you... on account of how the truth has already been revealed for Yanchen’s case, could you guys let Shi Ze off this one time?”

...

Shi Ze had yet to step into his room when he heard Madam Shi make the call as his entire face turned pale. Entering his room, his eyes were filled with vengeance, rage and pain.

F*cking Lu Yanchen! How dare he get Shen Lingshuang to complain to his mother!

F*ck, does he think that this would work!

Kicking at a chair beside him, Shi Ze phoned Yan Zi.

“Didn’t you say that Su Ya has an inexplicable insistence on not wanting Shi Guang to get in touch with anyone from the Sus? If we want to create the topic on Shi Guang and Wu Xing and amplify it, things would definitely be easier with Su Ya’s help.”

...

When Yan Zi heard Shi Ze’s suggestion on the phone, a momentary hesitation jolted through her.

Given Su Ya’s smarts, if she went looking for her for help, Su Ya would definitely guess her relationship with Shi Ze. However, it was also true that things would not be that easy without Su Ya’s help.

Su Ya should know that this juncture was the most opportune moment to take down the Lus. If Su Ya had an agenda, she would definitely make a move right now as well.
