Chapter 151: Shen Xi Takes a Heavy Swing at Lin Shutong

Ke Zhongying pulled Jiang Lai farther away, sneaking to the big tree beside the flowerbed corner and peeking.

"What did you say to Shen Xi? You've provoked her like a fighting cock."

"Put her and Lin Shutong together and compare who Shen Xun treats better."

Comparisons are always hurtful.

Ke Zhongying was surprised: "You can even compare like that? Shen Xi is Shen Xun's sister, Lin Shutong is Shen Xun's lover; they're not on the same level, how can you compare?"

"Shen Xi thinks her brother should treat her best; even a sister‑in‑law shouldn't surpass her," Jiang Lai felt this deeply.

Ke Zhongying's mouth twitched: "Family should be close, but once a brother marries he has his own little family, so he should be better to his sister‑in‑law rather than to his sister. I can somewhat understand treating them equally, but I can't understand a sister trying to outdo the sister‑in‑law."

She shook her head.

Jiang Lai brushed Ke Zhongying's arm, slightly lifting her chin: "Lin Shutong is coming down."

Ke Zhongying rubbed her hands.

Shen Xi is now like a fighting cock; if she doesn't quarrel with Lin Shutong, she counts herself defeated.

The two stared intently, spying.

Lin Shutong saw only Shen Xi downstairs, no Shen Xun, and asked in surprise, "Xiao Xi, where's your brother?"

"My brother didn't come," Shen Xi stared fixedly at Lin Shutong's face. Indeed, with skin that good, how many high‑end skincare products must she use? How many trips to the salon?

Even her simple loungewear is from luxury brands.

Facing Shen Xi's deception and scrutiny, Lin Shutong slightly frowned, as if sensing something ominous.

"So Xiao Xi, you came to see me—what's the matter?" she tried to maintain a gentle, beautiful persona, flicking her hair.

Lin Shutong didn't know that Shen Xun had emptied the family fortune for her, and that the Shen family already knew.

The last time she saw Shen Xi, Shen Xi was still scolding Jiang Lai, thinking all of Shen Xun's money was with Jiang Lai.

"My brother has actually given you the money all these years, not Jiang Lai, right?" Shen Xi got straight to the point.

Lin Shutong was stunned.

How did you know so quickly?

She strained to stay calm, forcing a smile: "No one told me. Who did you hear it from? It couldn't have been Jiang Lai, could it?"

When Jiang Lai's name came up, Lin Shutong caught the pause on Shen Xi's face and quickly said, "I knew it—Jiang Lai always tries to sow discord and ruin our relationship."

"My mother told me," Shen Xi shouted, "Our whole family knows! I only found out yesterday!"

It caught Lin Shutong completely off guard.

"Wh‑what?" her voice stammered, and her eyes visibly panicked.

"All of it was spent on you! All of it! Do you realize you prevented me from studying abroad!"

"You also lied to me! You used my brother's money to buy things for our whole family!"

Shen Xi grabbed the diamond handbag in her hand and hurled it at Lin Shutong.

"Sss!" Ke Zhongying inhaled a sharp gasp; she never expected Shen Xi to strike, and to see Lin Shutong rendered helpless, finally crouching to protect her head while trying to snatch Shen Xi's bag.

"Xiao Xi, listen to my explanation!"

"I won't listen! Unless you return my brother's money!"

Lin Shutong's wrist throbbed from the blow; as she recovered it, the diamond handbag slammed straight onto her forehead.

It also contained a phone and cosmetics, making it hefty; the smash left a big blue‑red bruise on Lin Shutong's forehead.

"Shen Xi's combat power is that strong…" Ke Zhongying exclaimed, mouth agape.

Jiang Lai lifted her hand to support her chin, preventing soreness, and explained, "Shen Xi even extorted protection fees back in middle school."

"Really a little thug?"

"Hmm," Jiang Lai nodded.

The Lin Shutong whose forehead was bruised could no longer bear it; during Shen Xi's pause, she stood up: "Shen Xi, have you had enough! You came to beat me up before the matter was clarified—how could you be so foolish?"

Ke Zhongying: "???"

"Lin Shutong's mouth is that good at twisting words?"

Jiang Lai, having seen it, knew Lin Shutong wouldn't readily admit anything without solid evidence.

Ke Zhongying: "Did you bring the documents my brother originally printed?"

Jiang Lai pulled a thin sheet from her bag: "Not that many, but this is enough."

"You actually brought it!"

This is something Jiang Lai always brings when meeting Shen family members.

Ke Zhongying reached out to take it, but Jiang Lai didn't let her tug.

"I'll go deliver it; I'm afraid Shen Xi might unintentionally hurt you—she really can beat people up at random." When Shen Xi faces someone weaker than herself, pulling hair and slapping is no problem.

Ke Zhongying: "Then you definitely shouldn't go alone."

Lin Shutong was about to explain something when she saw Jiang Lai and Ke Zhongyu dart out from the corner, stepping forward.

The paper Jiang Lai held was all too familiar to her.

It was Jiang Lai!

"You incited Xiao Xi to look for trouble with me, didn't you?" Lin Shutong glared at her, "What are you trying to slander me for now?"

Jiang Lai, in front of Lin Shutong, handed the documents to Shen Xi: "Take a look, many people have already seen them."

"Three million a month is actually true…" Shen Xi trembled, her gaze at Lin Shutong turning fierce again, "Lin Shutong! How shameless!"

"You bitch!"

She grabbed Lin Shutong's hair and slapped her face.

In contrast, Lin Shutong could only scream for Shen Xi to let go; her combat power was too weak.

Ke Zhongying and Jiang Lai both stepped back, fearing blood would splash onto them.

Just after stepping back a bit, the two wrestled on the ground.

Shen Xi, on her own, perched a little on Lin Shutong's thigh and slapped, the palms snapping loudly.

She cursed, "bastard."

It was as if she came to catch an adulterer.

Who could have imagined this was actually Shen Xun's sister.

Ke Zhongying, startled and trembling, whispered to Jiang Lai, "Is this really the Shen Xi we usually see?"

"Because this time she's in the right, once we let her be in the right things will get out of hand," Jiang Lai said, pulling Ke Zhongying back a few steps. "The important thing is, she really loves money."

Mother Shen is vain; Shen Xi is even more vain.

Not only sharing the same lineage, but also surpassing the master.

Because their movement was too noisy, a security guard rushed over at once and pulled them apart; Lin Shutong's hair was disheveled, his clothes twisted, and dust smeared the floor.

She desperately shielded her face.

Her face wasn't flushed, but the backs of her hands and her neck were reddened.

Ke Zhongying remarked, "The slaps were many, but the aim was off."

The security guard was trying to mediate, but once Shen Xi loses it, she won't hear a word.

Having no other option, the guard asked Lin Shutong whether to call the police.

Lin Shutong said no.

She still holds leverage over Shen Xi.

"Shen Xi, if you've had enough trouble, go back; I won't tell your brother," Lin Shutong said, looking magnanimous.

Shen Xi spat.

Ke Zhongying, watching the commotion without minding the trouble, asked Jiang Lai, "What do you think would happen if we contact Shen Xun now?"

Jiang Lai gave her a lingering glance, pulled out her phone, took a picture, and sent a multimedia message to Shen Xun.
