Chapter 153: Can't Stand You Being Better Than Me

~9 min read 1,670 words

Don't look at her saying she's fine, but if someone else, especially Shi Youxuan, says the same, it's just taking advantage and acting coy, it's deliberately trying to anger her... Alright, it is deliberate!

Shi Youxuan never believed that "repaying evil with kindness" was a remarkable virtue.

There is nothing wrong with the phrase itself, but it depends on who it is applied to.

For those who know how to be grateful, it can be used.

For Shi Yuke, it cannot!

"Repaying evil with kindness" will only be mistaken for weakness and vulnerability by people like her; even if they are smiling at the time, they will turn around and bully you even worse, there is no most excessive, only more excessive.

Shi Youxuan squinted her eyes, looking at her with a half-smile, her gaze provocative—what of it? If you're not convinced, bite me!

Shi Yuke couldn't gain any advantage in the argument either, so she could only swallow her frustration and resentment, changing the subject at the right time: "I want to use the Sheng Family shares to invest in your Tianma, do you agree?"

She raised her eyebrows slightly, truly not expecting Shi Yuke to propose such a condition at this time.

Shi Yuke wasn't completely brainless; she knew that even if she got her hands on the Sheng Clan, she wouldn't be able to manage it.

Since she couldn't manage it, it was better to attach it to a group with hope and a future to maximize her interests.

By then, she would only need to go shopping, buy designer brands, get beauty treatments, eat and drink, and find a handsome boyfriend every day; as for making money, let others do it, she only wanted to spend it!

Her plan was well-calculated, but Shi Youxuan didn't agree immediately: "It's too early to talk about this, let's wait until you get your hands on the Sheng Family first."

"It's not early, it's only a matter of time; as long as I make a move, they won't be able to jump around for many more days." Shi Yuke was full of confidence.

Shi Youxuan knew that if she didn't give her a definite answer today, she wouldn't let it rest, so she patiently explained to Shi Yuke: "I agree to the investment, but the specifics are a very complicated matter; we will have to hire a professional evaluation team to assess the value of both companies' stocks for conversion, the share ratio..."

These professional terms sounded like gibberish to Shi Yuke's ears; she didn't understand them and wasn't interested.

She raised her hand to interrupt: "Fine, fine, fine, as long as you agree, that's enough; let's leave future matters for the future, I'm not in a hurry."

These were extremely important matters, and she didn't know what to be anxious about if she wasn't anxious about these.

Shi Yuke asked some more questions about how to deal with the three members of the Sheng Family, preferably using the fastest time to get the best results; she was very anxious about these things.

She wasn't just anxious, she also had plenty of methods; she claimed to be asking Shi Youxuan for ideas, but basically, as long as she started the topic, Shi Yuke could talk endlessly and even draw inferences about other cases.

Shi Youxuan felt her visit was redundant; what did she come for?

It turned out she just wanted to show off; she couldn't wait to flaunt it here before anything had even happened, and if she succeeded, there was no telling how insufferable she would be.

If she were allowed to keep talking endlessly, she probably wouldn't finish by nightfall.

Shi Youxuan reminded her: "You should go back, you've been out for quite a while, haven't you?"

"Oh my!"

Shi Yuke hurriedly grabbed her bag and walked out, complaining as she went: "Why didn't you remind me earlier? If I'm suspected and suffer losses, it's all your fault, you have to compensate me!"

Shi Youxuan didn't want to bother with her; if she picked up the conversation, it would be endless again.

Shi Yuke left, and she turned and went upstairs, diving into Sheng Hanyu's arms in the Study, hugging his waist and burying her head in his chest to listen to his strong heartbeat.

She didn't speak, and Sheng Hanyu didn't ask.

He just wrapped his arms around her, smelling the faint, clean fragrance on her hair, enjoying this happy time!

Birds singing and flowers fragrant, the quiet beauty of the years is probably just like this.

Shi Yuke's visit to the house this time left quite an impression on Shi Youxuan.

Although she had just finished a spa treatment and looked energetic on the surface, the hostility and anxiety in her words could not be hidden at all.

She had been competitive since she was a child, wanting to be better than Shi Youxuan in everything, and if she couldn't get something, she had to destroy it.

It was the same after she grew up, only after calculating everything, she hadn't gained love, and her family was about to be lost; even if she could get a lot of money, would she be happy?

Shi Youxuan didn't know, and she couldn't figure it out either.

She only wanted simple happiness, to be with the person she loved and live a simple life, just like now.

When Shi Yuke returned to the Hospital Ward, she was shocked; the room was a mess, everything that could be smashed had been smashed, and things that couldn't be broken were tilted and not in their original places.

Bai Xue and Sheng Hai were both there; Bai Xue was trying to comfort her son with kind words, while Sheng Hai was lecturing him with a stern face!

She pushed the door open and entered, and all three of them were overjoyed.

Sheng Yukai pushed his mother aside and rushed over, grabbing her hands tightly: "Yuke, you're back? You're finally back, where did you go? I sent people to search the whole world for you and couldn't find you; if you hadn't come back, we would have called the police..."

She suppressed her disgust and said in a gentle, soft voice: "I ran into Xuanxuan on the way home, and she insisted on dragging me to get a spa, treating me to a meal, and even wanted me to stay at her place; I thought it wasn't very good and I was worried about you, so I came back."

When she said the second half, she was basically speaking to Bai Xue; she wanted to vomit every time she saw that turtle on Sheng Yukai's face.

"Really?"

Bai Xue was half-believing, but she didn't dare to ask too much, fearing that if she got angry and quit, it would be over.

Shi Yuke immediately sank her face: "Fake, I'm talking nonsense, is that okay? If you don't believe me, ask yourself... oh, you must want to ask why my phone was turned off, right?"

After speaking, she took out her phone and threw it on the table: "See for yourself." The phone was out of power; she had deliberately let it run out on the way.

Bai Xue didn't dare to put on airs as a mother-in-law in front of her now; she picked up the phone and stuffed it into her pocket without even looking at it, smiling apologetically: "My fault, it's all my fault, I was just asking casually, I didn't mean I didn't believe you..."

But sweet talk alone wouldn't fix things; Shi Yuke's appetite had been spoiled over these days, and without money, nothing could be settled.

But this wasn't a solution either; if she made a scene, they gave her money, and if she made a scene, they gave her money, so when would it end?

Moreover, Bai Xue also discovered that the amount given could only be higher each time; if it wasn't higher than the last time, it was equivalent to not giving anything at all.

She didn't want to indulge Shi Yuke's bad habit again and again, but if she didn't mention money, all the kind words in the world were useless, and she was in a dilemma for a moment.

In the end, Sheng Hai couldn't stand it anymore and transferred a sum of money to her, counting it as a "mental distress fee," and that was the end of it.

Shi Yuke accepted the money, and her attitude changed 180 degrees immediately; there was a smile on her face, and her speech became polite.

She was no longer relentless, and even "reflected" on her bad attitude and hurtful words just now, hoping her father and mother would not blame her, and other such polite remarks.

Since they were polite remarks, no one would take them seriously; as long as they could save face, that was enough. Everything that needed to be said had been said, and everything that needed to be obtained had been obtained, so Shi Yuke issued an order to evict the guests: "Father, Mother, thank you for your hard work today, you should go back and rest, I'll be fine by myself."

The old couple had their heads aching from their son's tantrums, and having just been fleeced by their daughter-in-law, they didn't want to see the two of them anymore, so they took the opportunity to leave the hospital and go back.

After her parents left, Sheng Yukai locked the door and hugged his wife to kiss her...

"Let go, what are you doing?"

Shi Yuke dodged desperately, using her hands to cover her skirt tightly, feeling so disgusted she retched.

"Come on, I've been abstaining for many days, don't you want it?" Sheng Yukai had more strength than her and was incredibly impatient, tearing her clothes open in a few swift movements.

"Let go, don't touch me..."

Shi Yuke struggled even more violently, and in her desperation, she even slapped Sheng Yukai across the face!

"Slap!"
