Chapter 141 : Eat Your Medicine, You Dunce! 22 (2/2)

“Then what do you want?”

“Fulfill the marriage alliance with the Gao Family. Then you won’t have any more ties with my Bei Family.”

Shi Sheng, “…” ‘This guy is crazy, right?’

Shi Sheng looked at Father Bei like he was cuckoo. “Mr Bei, do you really think everyone but you is a pig? Why should I step foot into what is clearly a hellhole?”

“This is the only way for you to leave the Bei household!” Father Bei’s attitude turned harsh. Since she already knew, then he wouldn’t have to worry about civilities. If she could give the Bei Family more benefits before she left, it would mean they hadn’t raised her in vain for so long.

Shi Sheng gave a scoffing laugh and picked the cheque on the table back up. “Since we can’t come to an agreement, I supposed I’ll have to use my own way then.”

“Bei Zhi, don’t be too cocky! Even if you suck up to the Fu Family, do you think they’ll offend the Gao Family for you?! You’re nothing without the Bei Family!”

‘There’s no connection between me(bbb) and the Fu Family! Don’t try and play matchmaker!’

“So I’m cocky, kill me!” Shi Sheng lifted the cheque in her hand. “Mr Bei, I hope the next time we meet, you’re just as… sensible.”

Father Bei was angered by Shi Sheng’s arrogance. He picked up an object on the table and flung it at her. “Ingrate! If it wasn’t for us, you’d have died long ago!”

“That’s right, if not for me, your son would’ve died long ago too.” Shi Sheng replied lightly.

Father Bei was rendered speechless. Back then, Bei Ze’s condition had been terrible. They had tried everything to no effect. Yet he showed signs of getting better after bringing Bei Zhi back. He hadn’t even used that much medicine.

……

Shi Sheng packed up her stuff and left the Bei Family mansion. She hadn’t taken any of Bei Zhi’s possessions, only a few of the stuff that truly belonged to her, so there wasn’t much in her bags.

Standing outside the mansion, Shi Sheng turned to look back at it. She hadn’t planned on dealing with the Bei Family before. After all, she was lazy.

But Father Bei had crossed a line that he shouldn’t have and arranged a marriage between her and Gao Anlang.

After leaving the mansion district, Shi Sheng moved over to a small neighbourhood near the academy. She had bought this apartment early on. She had planned on leaving the Bei Family mansion from the start, she just hadn’t found an opportunity to move out earlier.

The apartment was already furnished so she could move in with her luggage.

The next day, Shi Sheng went to buy flaky lotus cakes for Fu Qin before leisurely taking a taxi to school. Because of the matter at Mt. Shaoyang, school had been suspended for a week and only reopened today.

“Xiaozhi, Xiaozhi! Over here!” Lin Yin was standing at the gates, waving at Shi Sheng.

Shi Sheng walked over and propped up Lin Yin’s chin, a wicked smile on her face as she spoke, “Hey beautiful. You’ve gotten prettier today as well. I’m feeling tempted.”

Her movements were fluid and completed in one breath. Her posture was elegant and her every movement contained an inherent nobility, allowing the onlookers to enjoy a feast for the eyes.

Lin Yin blushed with an embarrassed expression. “Xiaozhi, can you stop teasing me?”

Every time Shi Sheng teased her, Lin Yin would find her particularly handsome. Handsome enough to want to make monkeys with her[2].

And from the low gasps by the surrounding girls, it was clear she wasn’t the only one feeling this way.

Charming Sheng gave her a slight smile. “Who told you to be so beautiful? I can’t control myself.”

Lin Yin swooned.

[1] This is like your identification in China. It’s usually kept together with other family member’s. It’s not like the kind you carry around though since it’s way more important. Stuff like getting married requires this.

[2] *cough cough* For those of you who’ve read “My Disciple Died Yet Again”, this phrase shouldn’t be unfamiliar…
