“Bitch!”
Shen Cishu glared at the two people walking away, grinding her teeth in fury.
She wanted nothing more than to tear them apart right then and there.
She had suspected before that Su Li getting close to her was connected to Bai Huizi.
But Su Li resembled Mother too much, which made her instinctively ignore that possibility.
Besides, Shen Cishu had already made up her mind never to have any dealings with Su Li again.
Su Li was like a demon, step by step leading her down into a pit of corruption.
She knew her mother well—and even better, she understood herself.
Shen Cishu felt as if she were slipping into madness, her mood unbearably restless.
She wanted to punch the display case in front of her, but then she remembered it all belonged to Bai Huizi’s Family Business.
Even if she caused trouble, Bai Huizi wouldn’t hold it against her.
But the mocking, teasing look in Bai Huizi’s eyes—that was something Shen Cishu couldn’t bear to face again.
She had seen scenes like this before.
Mother holding Elder Sister’s hand as they left.
This time was just like before.
But Mother had always liked her the most.
Not even Elder Sister could compare.
As long as she wanted, Mother would definitely come back to her side.
Su Li looked so much like Mother; Su Li would surely come to her side too.
After all, when it came to the contest of winning people over from Elder Sister, she had never lost.
Shen Cishu calmed down quickly.
Though she had lost face just now, she was determined to regain it this time.
She hurriedly took out her phone and looked at the contact she wanted to delete but never actually did.
Su Li.
【Come see me now!】
【Immediately!】
【Right away!】
After sending the messages, Shen Cishu’s eyes turned toward Su Li, who had stood up with Bai Huizi and was leaving, her heart pounding with tension.
But a long time passed with no reply, which made her even more agitated.
She clenched her fists tightly, then weakly relaxed them again.
【I want to see you now. Show up in front of me within ten minutes. I’m transferring you thirty thousand yuan.】
Reluctantly, Shen Cishu typed.
Spending thirty thousand yuan pained her a bit.
But to win the battle for Elder Sister, she had resolved herself.
Still, no reply came.
Was she really Elder Sister’s person?
Shen Cishu’s frustration grew. The thought of being conned out of fifty thousand yuan by the two of them together made her feel like she’d swallowed a fly.
“Damn it!!!”
An angry voice came from afar, as if speaking the exact thoughts in her heart.
Her gaze shifted to a figure in a wheelchair not far away, suddenly making her feel that being deceived wasn’t so bad after all.
This disabled person seemed to have been conned even worse.
Shen Cishu’s eyes returned to Su Li’s contact.
Just as she was about to delete Su Li and bid farewell to the past, she stopped.
She wouldn’t lose!
And she didn’t want to lose!
No matter how rich Bai Huizi was, her arrogant attitude was unbearable—even Mother couldn’t tolerate it.
Clenching her fists, Shen Cishu vowed to use her own strengths to snatch Su Li away from Bai Huizi’s side.
Just like she had taken Mother away before.
……
Jin Ke’er angrily hid the swelling on her face beneath her hair.
She still couldn’t believe Su Li had dared to slap her.
Even when her parents were alive, they had never laid a hand on her.
Su Li’s slap was no less than a death wish.
Recalling the moment she had instinctively felt fear when looking at Su Li, Jin Ke’er grew even more furious.
Thankfully, no one had seen her humiliating expression just now, so she wasn’t worried.
Temporary defeat wasn’t frightening; history was written by the victors.
As long as she was the final winner, this little black mark meant nothing.
When Su Li fell back into her hands again, she would slap back tenfold, a hundredfold what she had received today.
Jin Ke’er took deep breaths, calming her emotions.
She had faced storms and hardships before—she had even survived a near-fatal car accident.
And yet, she had successfully returned to the family.
Her upcoming cooperation with the Library Director wouldn’t be affected by today’s events; she would complete it flawlessly.
Pushing her wheelchair forward, she headed toward the place she had arranged to meet Lan Yinyun.
Noticing a sympathetic glance cast her way, she shot back a cold look.
Just a lowborn.
She had seen plenty of people like that.
Even now, disabled and confined to a wheelchair, she would be able to stand and walk again soon enough.
But such lowborn people could never reach her status in their entire lives.
Jin Ke’er sneered, ignoring the gazes of others, and soon arrived beside the waiting Lan Yinyun.
“Miss, you’re already ten minutes late.”
“Shut up.”
Jin Ke’er said coldly. Ten minutes late—what was that?
Being able to cooperate with her, even if it meant waiting ten minutes or half an hour, what of it?
Lan Yinyun said nothing further, only pushing Jin Ke’er’s wheelchair toward the meeting room arranged with the Art Museum Director.
……
After meeting up, Bai Huizi immediately grabbed Su Li’s arm.
Seemingly feeling the vibration coming from Su Li’s pocket, Bai Huizi smiled and said,
“Didn’t expect our Little Su Li to be quite popular.”
Su Li remained silent, unsure who was contacting her now.
But it didn’t matter who it was.
If she hadn’t been scheduled in advance, she wouldn’t check messages even while working.
“Sorry, I forgot to turn off the vibration.”
“Oh? Isn’t Little Su Li curious about who’s looking for you this time?”
Hearing Bai Huizi’s question, Su Li’s expression stayed calm.
Though it was the weekend, the person looking for her was likely someone from MOKA.
If it had been Xiao Yuyu, the phone wouldn’t have just vibrated a few times.
But since Bai Huizi asked like that, Su Li already guessed who it was.
“Shen Cishu?”
Su Li said. Indeed, Shen Cishu was the most likely.
After all, judging from the information Bai Huizi had provided and Shen Cishu’s family setup, the chance of Shen Cishu coming to the Art Museum was relatively high.
Maybe the other party had already discovered their presence.
Su Li wasn’t too worried about it.
Since Bai Huizi had brought her here, there must be some plan.
Originally, approaching Shen Cishu was part of Bai Huizi’s task.
If the deal ended, losing one customer wouldn’t be a big problem.
“Little Su Li, don’t touch your phone when you’re with Sister.”
“When this is all over, whatever you lose, Sister will compensate you tenfold.”
Bai Huizi held Su Li’s hand, their fingers intertwined, speaking in a voice only the two of them could hear.
