Chapter 1570: Was the Old Man’s Son?

Suffering such a big loss, Xi Mucheng would definitely retaliate.

After a whole night of cultivation, Ning Shu felt very refreshed. She went downstairs and saw the old man talking to Xi Mucheng.

It was unknown what the old man said that made Xi Mucheng’s expression and eyes take on an ironic look.

Honestly speaking, Ning Shu even suspected that Xi Mucheng was the old man’s son; otherwise, why would the old man treat Xi Mucheng so well?

He even wanted to betroth his granddaughter to Xi Mucheng.

A person like Xi Mucheng simply could not be taken in as one’s own.

Ning Shu went downstairs and asked the old man, “Dad, what are you talking about?”

When the old man saw Ning Shu, he smiled and said, “Just some things between men.”

Ning Shu looked suspiciously at the old man and Xi Mucheng.

The old man saw the look in Ning Shu’s eyes and said, “I was just asking Mucheng if he had any girl he likes. In two more years, he’ll be thirty. It’s time to start a family.”

Xi Mucheng had an indifferent expression. It wasn’t the place of the Shi family to make decisions about his marriage.

Was the old man testing Xi Mucheng? As if Xi Mucheng would say that he liked Shi Sinan.

While eating breakfast, Ning Shu observed Xi Mucheng, whose cheeks were a little red, apparently from the aphrodisiac in his body. Those drugs would slowly seep into the muscles and hollow out the person’s body.

Xi Mucheng saw that Ning Shu was sizing him up and asked indifferently, “What is Sister looking at me for? Do you like this face of your brother?”

Ning Shu smiled and gave a Buddhist sign. “Amitabha Buddha, all appearances are illusory, just beautiful faces and withered bones.”

Xi Mucheng snorted.

After having breakfast, Ning Shu drove to work.

At the traffic light, she stopped her car, but the brakes were not working. Ning Shu suddenly cursed in her heart. Xi Mucheng, that bastard.

It was the rush hour now, so the road was densely packed with people crossing the sidewalk. She would hit five or six people in this crash if the car didn’t stop.

If anything happened, she’d be in deep trouble.

She had done something with Xi Mucheng’s car, so Xi Mucheng turned around and retaliated. Ning Shu suspected that all of her cars had been tampered with.

Ning Shu’s hands that were holding the steering wheel were sweating buckets. She pulled the gear to its lowest and looked left and right. Since she could not hit pedestrians, she had no choice but to hit the flower bed railing in the middle of the road.

Ning Shu fiercely turned the steering wheel. The friction between the tires and road caused a sharp, screeching sound as the car slammed into the railing. Her head hit the steering wheel with a loud bang. Ning Shu felt dizzy and warm blood flowed out.

Since Ning Shu had suddenly changed lanes, the car behind also stopped, causing several cars to tailgate.

The traffic police surrounded Ning Shu’s car with barricades.

Ning Shu wiped at the blood that had flowed out, opened the door, and stepped out. She said to the police, “I’m responsible for this accident. My car’s brakes failed.”

As Ning Shu’s car was towed away by a tow truck, she went to the police station to record her statement. She also compensated the few cars that had rear-ended her. She did all she could to keep this matter to a minimum.
