Chapter 69: That’s Enough
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Xing Shu’s heart skipped a beat. Nie Xi heaved her chest in anger. Old Master Xing had suffered from dementia two years ago. Other than Xing Shu who visited him regularly at the sanatorium, the Xing family did not care at all. But now, Xing Zewu used an old man as an emotional blackmail on Xing Shu. He was really shameless to the core!
Xing Shu looked at Xing Zewu. “You are using Grandpa to threaten me. Have you forgotten that Grandpa is also your grandfather? Grandpa treats you well, right? Is this how you repay him?”
Xing Shu remembered Old Master Xing’s kindness because when the Xing family wanted to acknowledge Xing Linlin as their goddaughter, it was Old Master Xing who stopped them. He felt that this was unfair to Xing Shu, his biological granddaughter. However, Old Master Xing had long relinquished his power. In addition, his Alzheimer’s was getting worse every year. He did not have any inheritance. Otherwise, he would not have been ignored by the Xing family.
Xing Zewu’s eyes were dark. He looked at Xing Shu with undisguised anger and disgust. “Do you think I want to bring this up before Grandpa? I’m just reminding you that when the matter blows up, it’s inevitable that someone will blab to him. You know very well how well Grandpa treats you. If anything happens to Grandpa because of you, you won’t be able to rest in peace for the rest of your life.”
Xing Shu could not bear such a huge responsibility. She looked at Xing Linlin— who was secretly pleased with herself—and sneered, “Isn’t it just a matter of the engagement with Cheng Xingyang? Since he doesn’t want to annul the engagement, I won’t take the initiative to mention it. However, I didn’t expect Cheng Xingyang to care so much about me. It seems that the side chick is only so-so—she only managed to hold on to his body but not his heart.
When Xing Linlin heard this, she almost failed to hold on to her mask. Her hand was still holding Xing Zewu’s, and she could not help but pinch him so hard that it hurt. Xing Zewu turned to look at Xing Linlin, thinking that she was afraid of Xing Shu.
Xing Zewu asked, “Linlin?”
Xing Linlin was worried that if she continued to be mocked by Xing Shu, she would inadvertently reveal something that she should not have in front of Xing Zewu. After all, Cheng Xingyang’s unwillingness to annul the engagement was a thorn in her side.
Xing Linlin said, “Brother Xing, don’t you have a meeting? Don’t be late. Xing Shu is an adult after all. Let her think about it.
