Chapter 6 Stimulate Her

The man, so brilliant and clear like the weather after rain, wouldn't be liked by anyone, especially when he harbored an unrequited love. To him, this statement must have been an insult.

As expected, his eyes darkened deeply, fixing on her, almost drawing her into their depths.

He must have been very annoyed.

Sheng Shushu added fuel to the fire, her tone shifting sharply, "That's really unfortunate, since Professor Xiao's skills are subpar, I am not satisfied."

Her palms were sweaty, and though she faced death bravely, her expression remained willfully indifferent, "I didn't want to mention this reason, but you insisted on stirring the pot."

Xiao Yu's face turned dark.

His eyes narrowed, his voice cold as iron.

"Say that again."

He hadn't moved a muscle, yet Sheng Shushu felt so pressured that she backed up, leaning against the car.

Struggling to maintain her composure, she lifted her small face, but her eyes dared not meet his, "I said, you're no good in bed."

After Sheng Shushu finished speaking, she almost waited for death.

But the silence in the air was overwhelming.

When she dared to open her eyes and look at Xiao Yu, she realized the previously gloomy face of the man might have been twisted into a smile out of extreme anger.

His smile didn't reach his eyes, his voice still icy cold, "Knowing I'm not someone to trifle with, you still dared. Haven't you thought of the consequences?"

How could she not have thought about it? She had deliberately targeted him in the first place.

But knowing how her past life ended, how could she make the same mistakes again?

So, if she decided to leave him this time...

"What consequences?" she asked weakly.

The man's gaze was deep and dark as he observed her.

In the end, his thin lips barely moved, leaving behind a few casual and indistinct words.

"Who knows."

A cold breeze swept across her forehead.

It was Xiao Yu taking the documents that had been on the car roof, striding away with a forceful manner.

He was angry.

Sheng Shushu, who had been in a secret marriage with him for many years, rarely saw him as sharp as he was tonight; he was a very reserved person.

Sigh.

Completely deflated, Sheng Shushu slumped against the car, zoning out for quite a while.

Having been given a second chance at life, aside from knowing how to deal with Xiao Yu, she needed to sort out the rest.

She took a taxi home and went straight to bed.

She woke up halfway through the night, and since she couldn't sleep, she played a few rounds of games until she fell asleep again in the wee hours of the morning.

When she finally woke up, it was already two in the afternoon the next day.

She was hungry.

Upon discovering the kitchen was completely empty of food, she realized she truly lacked presence in this house, where one could starve for days or die in their bedroom without anyone noticing.

As she opened the fridge and saw the snacks of Sheng Sili stacked full in there, she vengefully grabbed a dozen Wahaha AD fortified milk drinks and downed them on the sofa until not a bottle was left.

She neatly arranged the empty bottles on the coffee table, forming a heart shape.

Her mood improved significantly.

After taking a shower upstairs, two hours had passed.

Then she heard the cries of Sheng Sili from downstairs, protecting her food.

Sheng Shushu curved her lips in a smile and put on earplugs to watch a movie.

Around seven o'clock, she glanced at the time, January 20th, and frowned.

If she remembered correctly, Fang Min was working part-time at a club today, harassed by a few spoiled brats, and in a freak accident, she smashed one with a wine bottle, paralyzing him from the waist down.

Fang Min was from out of town, getting into Jingwu was like a phoenix escaping its cage, a bright future ahead. But after injuring her leg that night, she could no longer dance, couldn't settle the lawsuit, and was eventually forced to marry that paralyzed man.

Throughout the five years of Sheng Shushu's hidden marriage with Xiao Yu, Fang Min had suffered domestic abuse for the same five years.

Every part of her body, save for her face, bore the traces of abuse; countless calls to the police never set her free, and she lived a life worse than death.

Crucially, in this incident, Xiao Qingzhou also got slashed.

Both families were still unaware of their breakup, and Sheng Shushu, pressured by the elders, was forced to take care of her fiancé.

The fact that she had slept with Xiao Yu was discovered by Xiao Qingzhou when he saw the bruises on her body at the hospital.

Then she took the opportunity to announce she had dumped Xiao Qingzhou and went public with Xiao Yu.

This was the catalyst that forced Xiao Yu to marry her!

The more Sheng Shushu thought about it, the more suffocated she felt. Even if she didn't want Xiao Yu anymore, she absolutely didn't want to take care of Xiao Qingzhou!

She immediately called Fang Min, but couldn't get through.

He called Lu Banxia again.

"Xiaxia, where is Fang Min?" Sheng Shushu was somewhat anxious.

It was a bit noisy on Lu Banxia's end, "Fang Min came to the dinner, how are you feeling now?"

"Mhm, that's good!" Sheng Shushu breathed a sigh of relief.

It was true, there was no such thing as a dinner party in her past life.

Then she heard Lu Banxia mutter, "She was just here, where did she go?"

Sheng Shushu didn't care about the movie anymore, she grabbed a piece of clothing to put on, "Hurry up and look for her, if you can't find her go to South Heavenly Gate, I'll be there soon to meet up."

Lu Banxia: "What are we going to South Heavenly Gate for?"

"She's secretly working part-time."

"How is that possible? I asked her if she needed the registration fee, she said she had it, and she wouldn't take my money... "

Sheng Shushu hung up and hurried downstairs.

Dao Manling and her son Sheng Sili were having dinner, with Sheng Sili hysterically throwing his bowl and losing his temper.

"This is my house, why should she touch my things? Marry her off! Never let her come back!"

Dao Manling was coaxing him in a low voice from the side.

Sheng Shushu snorted and left the house.

If the capital city was a paradise on earth, then South Heavenly Gate was heaven on earth.

Sheng Shushu arrived at the place and, relying on her memory, went to the second floor common area, casually finding a booth to lie in wait.

Soon, other guests came and sat down next to her.

Sheng Shushu moved further inside, towards the very corner, to maintain distance.

The common area was similar to a rooftop, surrounded by glass barriers about half a person tall. As she moved, her cocktail sloshed out and fell to the first floor.

She leaned out and made a "sorry" gesture with her hand.

Chen Yu brushed off the alcohol from his clothes, thoughtful after Sheng Shushu apologized and retracted her head.

He asked the person next to him, Shen Zui, "Is that Xiao Yu's little tail?"

Shen Zui raised an eyebrow.

Then Chen Yu made a call, "Ayu, isn't the dinner over yet? Ran into a little beauty, you will definitely be interested..."

The call was hung up.

Chen Yu was confused, "Who ticked him off today?"

Shen Zui had just returned from an academic exchange at Yanjin Medical University, how would he know?

Chen Yu felt a bit timid and urged Shen Zui, "You call."

Shen Zui made the call to Xiao Yu, and the response upon answering was just a sentence: "If there's nothing, go dissect more corpses."

"..."

Shen Zui: "The little beauty Chen Yu mentioned is named Sheng Shushu."

There was silence for two seconds on the other end of the phone.

The question came: "Where."

"South Heavenly Gate."

It wasn't half an hour before Xiao Yu arrived.

Chen Yu's mocking laughter, "Weren't you not coming?"

Xiao Yu ignored him, looking up to see Sheng Shushu's back where she was sitting.

He turned and went upstairs.

As Chen Yu watched him go down to the second floor via the elevator, he sighed, "The quality of our brothers' gatherings is getting lower and lower!"

All of them lawyers, doctors, they were all busy, meeting just once or twice a month, typically on the twelfth floor or above.

This casual ground floor area didn't usually see much of them.

Sheng Shushu also knew about the elite circle's rules that Xiao Yu belonged to, so she was surprised to see several tall figures sitting down.

Lu Banxia also arrived, and upon seeing those side profiles, she sat down and grasped handfuls of grass!

"Too lustful, I've even thought about where the kids' school district house would be!"

In the common area, when the three of them sat there, they were like fine pearls in gravel, hard not to notice even if you wanted to.

The women in the club thought the same, and some had already tried sitting across from them to strike up a conversation.

Chen Yu had initially wanted to send them away, but he had just asked, and Zong Yiheng had said the little beauty went to dine at Handun yesterday and gave Xiao Yu the cold shoulder, as if they had a fight.

So, he hooked a woman to sit on his lap and even freed one up for Xiao Yu.

He didn't believe this wouldn't provoke the little beauty to come over and claim her territory.
