After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved novel Chapter 391

Chapter 391: Chapter 391: Do You Think I’m Dead?

This time, after finishing her words, Lu Sheng didn’t even bother to look at the Shi Family’s reactions and walked straight out of the room.

Before leaving, she shot a cold glance at Shi Yuwei, reminding her not to forget what she needed to do.

After Lu Sheng left the house, Shi Suxin finally recovered from the suffocation of being choked earlier. Sitting directly on the floor, tears and snot streaming down her face, she began screaming hysterically.

"This is outrageous! Absolutely outrageous! Some wild girl raised in the countryside almost strangled me to death in our house!"

"Call the police! Uncle Li, where’s Uncle Li? Call the police immediately! Get the cops here!"

"Muchuan, aren’t you a lawyer?! Sue her for me! Use all the Shi Family’s connections to send that girl to prison! I want her eating prison food for the rest of her life!"

Shi Suxin’s face twisted with rage, completely losing the graceful, poised elegance she carried earlier in her qipao.

"...Aunt, please calm down first." Shi Muchuan held Shi Suxin up, took a deep breath, and spoke with a tone tinged with helplessness.

"Putting aside the fact that the injuries Lu Sheng caused you at most constitute minor harm, even if we call the police, they would only mediate the conflict. There’s no way they’d really arrest Lu Sheng."

"Moreover, Aunt, you were at fault as well in what just happened. No matter what, you shouldn’t have repeatedly insulted Lu Sheng’s mother to her face. How could she not be upset listening to that?"

"And another thing—using the Shi Family’s connections to send her to jail... Have you forgotten who the man accompanying Lu Sheng to our house was? I’m afraid our Shi Family’s connections won’t outweigh his."

As Shi Muchuan spoke with clarity and reason, Shi Suxin’s eyes widened in fury, and her anger only intensified.

"Muchuan, what nonsense are you spouting? Are you siding with that little wench now?"

"Do you even know that wench’s mother killed your mother? Your mother died the day before your birthday—you stayed by her side through the wake until you passed out! Have you forgotten all that?"

Hearing Shi Suxin mention his mother, Shi Muchuan felt a sharp pain in his heart.

He finally pursed his lips slightly before responding, "...Aunt, regardless of what happened back then, none of that was Lu Sheng’s fault."

"She was just a child. For so many years, she lived a hard life in the countryside with Second Aunt."

"She came to the Shi Family to visit Grandpa. Even if you don’t welcome her, you shouldn’t take out your resentment toward Second Aunt on her."

Ever since Lu Sheng entered the house today, Shi Suxin had been relentlessly hostile, using Du Ran’s accident to attack Lu Sheng. In truth, she was merely venting her dissatisfaction with her sister.

But Shi Muchuan’s words had undoubtedly exposed the ugliness of her thoughts.

This made Shi Suxin fly into a rage of humiliation. "What kind of crap are you saying?! Do you think my scolding her isn’t out of pity for you kids who lost your mother so young?"

"Muchuan, you’ve truly disappointed me! What now—just because that wench came to the Shi Family, you’re actually going to treat her like your sister? Don’t you know the saying that a mother’s killer is someone you can never coexist with under the same sky?"

Shi Muchuan frowned slightly at her words.

After all, Second Aunt’s actions back then were unintentional.

And over the past twenty years, she had lived a life of poverty in the countryside, eventually succumbing to illness—she had already paid for her mistakes.

Talking about a "mother’s killer" was an exaggeration at best.

Furthermore, while Shi Suxin was his aunt, her vulgar habit of calling Lu Sheng a "little wench" with every sentence was something Shi Muchuan found increasingly grating.

[Bedroom]

Lu Sheng returned to Shi Mingxiu’s room.

Li Muchen had always taken Lu Sheng’s words to heart. When Lu Sheng told him to stay by Old Mr. Shi’s side, he had not left the bed for a single step.

Seeing Lu Sheng enter, Li Muchen immediately stood up and asked, "Baby, nothing unusual has happened with Old Mr. Shi here. What about with you earlier? Did something happen?"

Not wanting Li Muchen to worry, Lu Sheng skipped over the confrontation she had with Shi Suxin and Shi Chengyun, briefly stating the key point.
