Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Upon hearing Shi Xiao’s name, Shi Lu and Shi Bin shut up. After an internal struggle, they finally reached an agreement to go home!

Compared to Yuan Shu’s whip, Shi Xiao was a hundred times more terrifying! Ever since he was young, every time he caused trouble, Shi Bin would be beaten up by Zhao Cheng and punished to kneel. Sometimes, he wasn’t allowed to eat for an entire day. Shi Xiao was very strict.

As long as Shi Lu was unwilling to return home, he would be tortured by Shi Xiao. He was even forced by Shi Xiao to attend the various banquets he hated the most.

However, this also made Shi Lu very puzzled. The Shi family’s father hated letting Shi Lu attend such banquets the most because he didn’t want others to know about the existence of his illegitimate son. As the most obedient eldest son of the Shi family, shouldn’t Shi Xiao share his father’s burden? Why was Shi Xiao always dragging him to these banquets?

In short, apart from Shi Yi, who was a girl, almost everyone in the Shi family had been tortured by Shi Xiao. Therefore, whenever Shi Xiao was mentioned, they would feel intense fear.

Shi Lu immediately gave up struggling. He grabbed Shi Bin’s neck and staggered downstairs.

However, Zhang Zhang stayed behind. She sat beside Yuan Shu and hugged her arm as she said toughly, “Sister Yuan Shu, I’m not from the Shi family, so I’m not afraid of Shi Xiao. You can’t do anything to me. I’m not leaving. I want to stay and accompany you.”

Yuan Shu had always felt that Zhang Zhang’s personality was very similar to when she was young. Yuan Shu couldn’t help but feel protective of her, so she really couldn’t do anything about Zhang Zhang’s behavior. She could only look at Zhang Zhang dotingly and say, “No matter what happens later, don’t interfere. Just sit down and watch the show.”

Zhang Zhang nodded obediently and looked at Yuan Shu with admiration.

The last time she saw Yuan Shu catch a thief on the commercial street of the filming base, she felt intense admiration for Yuan Shu when she saw her waving her whip. She had never had the chance to see her waving her whip again. Now that she finally had the chance, she had to take a good look later!

At this moment, the security manager had already evacuated the crowd, and the band had left. The Peak of the Sky was abnormally quiet. All the lights were turned on, and it was as bright as day.

Yuan Shu, on the other hand, couldn’t help but become serious and her eyebrows were furrowed.

She was cautious not because she was worried about these hooligans, but because of this person’s name, Wang Ping.

If she remembered correctly, Wang Ping was a hooligan from the original book, a person that Yuan Shu found to kidnap Lin Xi out of jealousy.

In the end, the kidnapping attempt failed, and Lin Xi was saved by Shi Xiao. Because of this, Yuan Shu was kicked out by Shi Xiao.

However, the original Yuan Shu refused to get a divorce on the grounds that she was pregnant, so she was given her own house to live in. This was the origin of all her misery.

Yuan Shu didn’t expect to actually meet this person here. This made Yuan Shu feel a sense of apprehension. Lin Xi entering the Shi Corporation only made Yuan Shu a bit worried, but the appearance of an unimportant person like Wang Ping made Yuan Shu certain that the final outcome was unavoidable.

When Yuan Shu was young, she loved to read books. When it came to good books, she would read the same book many times. Every time she read the same book, she would have a different understanding, but the outcome would always be the same.

At this moment, Yuan Shu felt helpless. She had clearly done something completely different from the original book, but the story still developed towards the same ending.

Since she could no longer go back, she had to survive in this world. Even if it was a predetermined ending, she had to do everything she could to change it! Her life was up to her to decide, not a book!

However, Yuan Shu still couldn’t figure out one thing. Since Jiang Chen was also in the story, would he be affected by the ending of the story?

However, Yuan Shu didn’t remember Jiang Chen’s development in the story and she felt Jiang Chen was hiding something from her.

However, she would think about this in the future. The most important thing at the moment was to deal with Wang Ping and avoid unnecessary trouble in the future.

As long as Wang Ping and Yuan Shu didn’t cooperate, the kidnapping wouldn’t happen.

As she was thinking about it, a group of people rushed in..
