After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved-Chapter 392: Yes, I’m the One Who Pinched It.

[Bedroom]

Shi Suxin stormed into the room with several people in tow, shouting furiously at Lu Sheng.

However, before Lu Sheng could respond, it was Old Mr. Shi, lying on the bed behind her, who spoke with anger—

"...Suxin, do you think I’m already dead?"

"Right in front of me, you’re bullying this child like that?"

Shi Mingxiu, at some unknown point, had woken up from his coma and was now sitting up in bed.

His sudden words left Shi Suxin and Shi Chengyun utterly shocked.

In the past few days, the old man had been so weak that his voice was barely audible. They had even started preparing for his funeral.

How could Old Mr. Shi’s voice suddenly become so strong and full of energy?

Then they looked at Shi Mingxiu—

Though still thin, his loose pajamas made him appear a bit frail, his whole demeanor had completely transformed.

His previously white hair had more than half turned black, making him look as if he’d suddenly become ten years younger. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

His once weathered and aged face now seemed as if it had been nourished in some miraculous way; his complexion was rosy and healthy. Even his previously pale, bloodless lips now bore a flush of color.

"Dad...?" Shi Suxin stood in stunned disbelief.

Shi Chengyun’s eyes widened; he couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

Only Shi Erya, who was initially surprised, then overjoyed, quickly rushed to the bedside: "Dad, how... how is this even possible?"

Excited to the point of tears, she opened her small mirror and handed it to Shi Mingxiu, "Dad, quickly look at yourself now!"

"I can’t believe it—look, you seem like you’ve returned to your state before you were sick. How do you feel? Do you feel better now?"

Shi Mingxiu lowered his head, seeing his reflection in the mirror, stunned as he took a deep breath.

"...I feel like waking up gave me a burst of energy. I don’t feel short of breath anymore either."

Shi Mingxiu looked at Lu Sheng, his expression hard to conceal his excitement, "Shengsheng... what did you do to me? Why is the effect so immediate? Did you find the cause of my illness?"

Not only Shi Mingxiu, but now everyone in the room turned their eyes to Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng’s expression remained unchanged as she stood by the bedside and addressed Shi Mingxiu, "Grandpa, I found the cause of your illness, and I’ve eliminated it."

"However, although your body has recovered significantly now, you’ll need proper recuperation afterward to achieve full health."

"Over the next week, I’ll perform acupuncture on you daily. Combined with the diet and exercise plan I’ve devised, you should recover quickly."

...How is this possible!

Shi Suxin simply couldn’t believe it. How could this young woman, Lu Sheng, outperform all the domestic and international experts they’d previously consulted?

In just a few dozen minutes, she had supposedly identified Old Mr. Shi’s disease and directly eradicated it?

But now, the old man who had been so ill he could barely speak suddenly seemed rejuvenated. The evidence was in front of them; even if she doubted, she had to believe it.

"You..." Shi Suxin’s lips trembled as she asked Lu Sheng, "This is really your doing? What method did you use to achieve this? What exactly was his illness?"

"Neither the cause nor my methods can be revealed," Lu Sheng responded coldly to Shi Suxin, "But rest assured, I will ensure Grandpa makes a full recovery."

Shi Suxin was rendered speechless.

Shi Chengyun was practically unable to believe what was unfolding before his eyes.

The old man, who was supposed to die within days, had suddenly recovered?

From Lu Sheng’s words, it even seemed like, with her care, the old man might become healthier than he’d been before?

Shi Mingxiu still remembered Shi Suxin’s furious entrance and her hostile attitude toward Lu Sheng moments ago.

"Suxin," Shi Mingxiu frowned deeply, his voice tinged with reproach, "You said just now that you wanted Shengsheng out of the Shi Family and that you wouldn’t let her off. What was that about?"

Old Mr. Shi’s sudden questioning made Shi Suxin clench her fists tightly.

Shi Suxin didn’t hate Du Ran merely for the reasons Shi Erya had previously mentioned, like the fact that someone she’d once secretly loved had chosen her younger sister.

There was another, much deeper reason.

The Shi Family first had Shi Chengyun, then Shi Suxin, followed by Du Ran. Ten years later, Shi Erya and Shi Wenjing were born.

During Shi Suxin’s youth, her younger sister, Du Ran, was always the cherished baby of the family, doted on by their parents. With her exceptional beauty and charm, she became the center of attention wherever she went.

Whenever her sister was present, Shi Suxin was entirely overlooked. Words of praise—beautiful, adorable, clever, and lively—were all for her sister; no one ever complimented her, plain and mediocre in appearance and talent.

Shi Suxin’s jealousy toward her younger sister had woven itself through her entire life up to now.

Even after Shi Erya and Shi Wenjing were born, and even after Du Ran became rebellious and argued with their father, Shi Mingxiu had always doted on his second daughter.

After Du Ran left the family in that terrible incident, Shi Mingxiu spent the next twenty years searching for news of his daughter, carrying a deep guilt in his heart.

A father who cherished his daughter so deeply, how could he possibly neglect his daughter’s only living child after her passing?

Seeing the reproachful expression on Shi Mingxiu’s face, Shi Suxin immediately knew their father intended to stand up for Lu Sheng, who had only arrived at the Shi Family today.

Shi Suxin grew furious: "Dad, do you know that this Lu Sheng almost tried to strangle me in the upstairs room earlier?"

Shi Suxin pointed to her neck, exposing the green-purple marks from being choked.

She said bitterly, "When I said she should leave the Shi Family, I was already being considerate of the blood ties between us instead of calling the police to have her imprisoned!"

Shi Mingxiu hadn’t expected such a development. Seeing the bruises, he took a sharp breath and turned to Lu Sheng: "...Shengsheng, is this truly something you did?"

Shi Suxin looked coldly at Lu Sheng, thinking that if she dared deny it, there were plenty of witnesses in the room who had seen her choking her. And the marks on her neck were indisputable evidence—let’s see how she tried to weasel her way out of this.

Everyone turned to look at Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng hesitated briefly, then calmly said, "It was me."

Hearing her confession, a victorious smile appeared on Shi Suxin’s face.

Since she’d admitted it herself, even if the old man wanted to protect her, he’d have no justification to do so now.

Upon hearing this, Shi Mingxiu grew anxious and reached out to hold Lu Sheng’s hand: "Child, Grandpa knows you wouldn’t do something like this without reason. Did your aunt do something to provoke you?"

"In the Shi Family—no, no matter where you are—Grandpa is your closest relative. If you’ve been wronged, tell Grandpa, and I’ll stand up for you."

???

The one who was almost strangled was her, yet her father was asking Lu Sheng if she’d been wronged??

Witnessing Shi Mingxiu’s reaction, Shi Suxin was absolutely livid.
