Chapter 131: Su Li and Her Older Sister Know Each Other?

Although opening an Art Museum was an incredibly difficult task for Shen Cishu, she couldn’t even remember if she still held that dream at all.

But faced with Bai Huizi’s ridicule, she felt unbearably irritated.

Shen Cishu clenched her fists tightly, the blue-purple veins pulsating on her temples like writhing worms beneath her skin.

Her brows were furrowed deeply, and she wished she could punch Bai Huizi to pieces with a single blow.

Why?

Why was she allowed to insult her dream like this?

Yet Shen Cishu had to admit that Bai Huizi had easily achieved something she herself could not.

If she wanted to open an Art Museum, it would be an overwhelmingly difficult endeavor.

Although she claimed to long for art, Shen Cishu was completely unfamiliar with all the twists and turns involved in opening a museum.

From the start, she felt she couldn’t fulfill such a dream.

“Is your purpose in opening this Art Museum just to mock me today?”

“That’s a bit childish.”

Shen Cishu forced herself to look indifferent, but inside she was burning with rage.

This was supposed to be her life…

Yet she couldn’t accuse Bai Huizi of stealing it away.

After all, Bai Huizi was born into the Bai Family from the beginning.

This was her life by right.

Still, Shen Cishu was filled with resentment.

“Childish? I don’t think so.”

“Compared to me opening an Art Museum now, it’s actually you, Younger Sister, who hasn’t done anything, and yet you’re the one breaking down—that looks much more childish.”

Bai Huizi smiled as she spoke, scrutinizing Shen Cishu’s expression, thoroughly enjoying herself.

Yet even so, Bai Huizi’s face remained expressionless.

Hmm, Su Li was just like this—her emotions never shown on her face.

Although Bai Huizi guessed that Su Li’s impassive expression wasn’t fake but innate,

she thought that when someone else is breaking down, seeing Su Li like this might actually make them break down even more.

Just like her own Younger Sister.

“Besides relying on your family, you have no abilities yourself. There’s no reason for you to mock me here.”

Shen Cishu said coldly, looking at Bai Huizi with eyes full of disdain once again.

“Rely on family? Do you think all my achievements came from family support?”

“Then I’m curious—after Mother passed away, even though you refused to change your surname back to Bai, the family still gave you money. What did you get out of using that money?”

“Don’t tell me you think I got tons of money from my family?”

Shen Cishu fell silent.

After their Mother’s death, the Bai Family had indeed given her some money.

But she had saved it all, except for before…

Previously, when she met Su Li, she spent nearly fifty thousand yuan on her.

Shen Cishu naturally wouldn’t mention this, knowing it would only earn her sister’s scorn.

“Well, who knows? You’re a Bai, and I’m not.”

Bai Huizi dismissed Shen Cishu’s reaction with disdain and continued,

“My dear Younger Sister, you really are full of contradictions.”

“On one hand, you look down on your own family, but on the other, you won’t refuse their charity. I thought when the family gave you money, you’d put up more of a fight.”

“But now, it seems that’s not the case.”

“You don’t need to explain to me. I won’t change my opinion of you.”

“You only need to convince yourself.”

After saying this, Bai Huizi didn’t bother to watch Shen Cishu’s reaction and directly stood up to leave.

It had been a while since Su Li went to the restroom, and Bai Huizi was still a bit worried that Su Li might not find her when she returned.

Actually, looking for Shen Cishu in the Art Museum was just a side task. Bai Huizi was absolutely certain Shen Cishu would be here.

But the main matter was still the Meeting about the Art Museum.

Even about that Meeting, Bai Huizi didn’t care much.

After all, the plan to open an Art Museum perhaps had a vindictive streak against her Younger Sister—just a pawn she had set in motion.

Whether the cooperation could be reached or not, she wasn’t too concerned.

After Bai Huizi stood and left, Shen Cishu remained full of anger.

She had initially been interested because she heard there were many True Exhibits here that weren’t usually seen.

Now that she realized her hateful sister was behind it all, Shen Cishu no longer wanted to continue the tour.

She just wanted to leave.

So, shortly after Bai Huizi left, she followed behind, planning to leave the Art Museum.

But after taking only a few steps, her pace halted.

A familiar figure appeared not far away, and her heart thumped violently, like being pricked by needles.

The pain was sharp and unbearable.

“Mother?”

She whispered softly, her face ugly and momentarily dazed.

But Shen Cishu still used the display counter as cover, unwilling to let the two people nearby see her distressed expression.

She didn’t understand and refused to believe it.

Shen Cishu took out her phone, wanting to send a message.

But seeing the long chat history under the contact named “Mother” with no reply, she fell silent, then came back to her senses.

Mother had passed away many years ago. That person wasn’t Mother, but someone who looked a little like her.

She dismissed the thought that Mother had left her sister and returned to her.

Her gaze shifted back to the two figures not far off.

If it wasn’t Mother, then why was that person by her hateful sister’s side?

Seeing them so close made Shen Cishu feel extremely uncomfortable.

A strong impulse surged in her heart, making her desperately want to separate them.

Leaning on the counter with both hands, Shen Cishu stared intently at the two.

Suddenly, as they were leaving, she caught a glimpse of the face next to Bai Huizi.

Su Li!

It was Su Li!

In an instant, all sorts of thoughts flooded Shen Cishu’s mind.

She remembered how Su Li had previously bumped into her and learned what she liked.

She knew what their Mother was like, even able to cook the meals Shen Cishu loved.

Shen Cishu’s fingers pressed tightly against the counter as she looked furiously in the direction they were going.

Su Li was a liar!!

A big liar!!!

It was all because of Bai Huizi, wanting her to get close only to mock her afterward!!

Rage filled Shen Cishu’s heart, making her want nothing more than to rush forward and tear Su Li apart!!!
