After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved-Chapter 383: I’m Willing to Give Her Whatever She Wants

Chapter 383: Chapter 383: I’m Willing to Give Her Whatever She Wants

Lu Sheng has an excellent memory.

Last time Lin Yi mentioned to her in the car that Shi Suyu’s eldest brother is a lawyer.

Although she didn’t know his name yet, the man standing before her was clearly Shi Chengyun’s eldest son.

Suddenly being stared at by the girl’s cold, sharp gaze, Shi Muchuan froze for a moment before taking a deep breath.

Today, he had only come along with his father to visit his grandfather at the ancestral home. He didn’t expect something like this to happen.

On the day his mother died twenty years ago, it had just been the day before his eighth birthday.

He didn’t get to celebrate his birthday with his mother, but instead received the news that she had been crushed by a car, her bones and flesh shattered.

His rational mind told him that his second aunt didn’t do it on purpose, but emotionally, it was hard not to hate. However, his second aunt had disappeared for so many years, and as time went by, the hatred and resentment were buried deep in his heart, gradually fading.

Shi Muchuan didn’t expect to hear today about his second aunt’s death. He certainly hadn’t expected to meet her daughter here today, his biological cousin.

The girl was beautiful, with an aggressive aura, and her gaze toward him carried a trace of mockery.

Shi Muchuan couldn’t help but clench his fists.

Earlier, when his father suddenly slapped his little aunt, he had been too stunned to react, let alone step forward to stop him.

When he saw his father about to continue, he had wanted to intervene, but the girl beat him to it.

Unexpectedly, the girl ended up questioning him for not stopping it earlier.

And she was right.

Whether out of professional ethics or as his aunt’s eldest nephew, he should’ve been the one to step up before her.

"Dad, calm down," Shi Muchuan said as he grabbed Shi Chengyun’s arm, his tone far from pleasant. "Little Aunt hasn’t finished speaking. No matter what, you shouldn’t hit her."

So someone from his own family had finally stepped forward?

Hearing this, Lu Sheng shot a cold glance at Shi Chengyun before letting go of his restrained arm.

Shi Erya’s hair was disheveled, her left cheek red and swollen from the slap, her face streaked with tears. Shi Yuwei stood beside her, supporting and comforting her, while Lin Fangling didn’t dare say a word.

Shi Chengyun, mindful of Li Muchen, withheld curses directed at Lu Sheng but continued to lash out indirectly at Shi Erya, showing no remorse for the slap and letting out a cold snort.

"Shi Erya, don’t blame your big brother for hitting you. Do you still remember how your sister-in-law died?"

"Before your sister-in-law was sent for cremation, in the morgue—did you go to see her? Her bones, shattered by the car, were unrecognizable. Have you forgotten that sight?!"

"Years ago, if it hadn’t been for Shi Xinlan’s late-night madness, leaving home recklessly, would your sister-in-law have abandoned her newborn child to go searching for her?"

"If Shi Xinlan hadn’t shoved your sister-in-law, would she have been run over directly by the car?"

"Shi Xinlan was your second sister, but let’s not forget—your sister-in-law treated you no worse than she treated her. Why are you searching for that woman’s whereabouts now? Why bring her daughter back here?"

"Are you trying to remind me of Bing Lan’s tragic death all over again? Or perhaps you intend for Muchuan, Suyu, and Xiche to taste the pain of losing their mother once more?"

Shi Chengyun’s series of harsh questions stabbed into Shi Erya’s heart like knives.

Her sister-in-law had been a good person, but her second sister had been as well... Yet all of this was now irrevocable, completely beyond her control.

Shi Erya could only cry silently, unable to argue back, allowing Shi Chengyun’s blame to cascade over her.

Lu Sheng, however, took a deep breath and suddenly looked straight at Shi Chengyun, saying, "It wasn’t my aunt who sought me out."

Shi Erya stopped choking on her sobs, just as she heard Lu Sheng add,

"I inadvertently discovered my mother’s former name and reached out to her first. It was also me who heard about Grandpa’s illness and begged her to bring me here."

"...It was you?" Upon hearing this, Shi Suxin turned to Lu Sheng, sneering coldly.

"Do you even know what kind of sin your mother committed back then, that ruined my brother’s entire family?"

"If you do, and you still think it’s fine to come running here, you’ve inherited your mother’s shamelessness perfectly."

Before coming, Lu Sheng had anticipated many scenarios involving a showdown with the Shi family.

Although what happened years ago was an accident, her mother had indeed been at fault. Their hatred was justified.

That’s why she was willing to endure some of the insults and reprimands on behalf of her mother.

Even if Shi Suxin attacked her purely out of her dislike for her mother, Lu Sheng wouldn’t refute her.

However, seeing Shi Suxin berate Lu Sheng, Shi Erya couldn’t help stepping forward: "Big Sister, no matter what happened back then, those are matters of our parents’ generation."

"Shengsheng is just a child. She is innocent. Her willingness to return to the Shi family is simply because she wants to meet Dad..."

"She just wants to meet Dad?" Shi Suxin sneered with contempt. "Shi Erya, have you aged without gaining any wisdom? You believe whatever she says?"

"This girl deliberately contacted you and claimed she wanted to visit our family for her grandfather. You truly think she’s here out of the simple desire to see him? Clearly, she’s eyeing the Shi family’s assets!"

"Afraid she heard that the old man isn’t doing well and wanted to rush here before he passed away, so she could secure her mother’s share of the inheritance. That’s why she’s so eager to show up."

"Didn’t you say she grew up in the countryside? I’ve met plenty of rural people like her, all calculating money in their minds."

Looking at Lu Sheng, it was obvious Shi Suxin truly believed this was her intention.

At that moment, Li Muchen suddenly spoke, his gaze cold as it landed on Shi Suxin—

"The entire Li Group, the entire Li Family, belongs to Shengsheng."

"Do you really think she cares about anything from your Shi family?"

Li Muchen’s words stunned both Shi Suxin and Shi Chengyun.

The entire Li Group, the entire Li Family, belongs to Shengsheng. What did that mean?

Could it be—

However, before they could process his words, a frail, aged voice suddenly came from not far away.

"I’m not dead yet... Suxin."

Lu Sheng raised her eyes to see an elderly man, thin as a withered tree, supported by a caregiver with one arm while holding a cane in the other, trembling slightly as he stood at the doorway of the inner hall.

When the man’s cloudy eyes landed on Lu Sheng, they instantly glistened with tears. Then he said, "And besides, if this child truly wants money on behalf of her mother... No matter how much she asks for, I’ll gladly give it to her."
