Chapter 336: Chapter 336 - 331: If You Shouldn’t Do It, Don’t Do It

Shi Su opened the car door: "I’m leaving now, take care of yourself."

She didn’t even say goodbye, just got out of the car.

She didn’t plan to see him again.

This Mr. Shi seemed to lower his stance and talk to her for a bit, every word like a poor old man missing the companionship of family, as if seeking sympathy from her as his granddaughter.

Shi Lingkang was indeed not a good father, and a scumbag.

But if he said Shi Lingkang lacked conscience, then how many conscienceless things had this old man done to stand his ground in the Imperial Capital, a place where murder was invisible, for so many years, even he might not remember.

What Mr. Shi laid in front of her was an endless wall built with gold bricks.

If she walked in, all of this would belong to her in a few years, but she’d also be completely trapped within these walls, losing her freedom like a prison cast in gold, never to escape.

Moreover, she would be molded by Mr. Shi in the next few years to be the kind of heir he wanted. If she was found wanting anywhere, everything would be taken back, and she’d be remolded. For as long as Mr. Shi lived long, it was as if she was imprisoned in this cage for another day, living without self, and she would no longer be Shi Su, but an heir of the Shi Family pushed into position like a duck driven to the shelf.

A grand road almost irresistible to anyone was the bait. Once captured in the net, even Shi Mianmian, this daughter without a known father, would be isolated outside.

She would be drained of all her blood, nutrition, and beliefs, sacrificing everything for Mr. Shi’s dream of supporting the Shi Family’s future legacy for hundreds of years, becoming a puppet with strings.

The request to stay in the Imperial Capital was akin to a demon draped in an angel’s robe holding a diamond-encrusted cage, opening the door, welcoming her inside, and telling her that if she obediently came in, all the diamonds on this cage would be hers.

Chujio saw Shi Su return and hurriedly asked, "Shi Su, who was in that car just now? It looked so impressive... Do you know people in the Imperial Capital?"

"A relative, not very familiar," Shi Su skillfully avoided the topic, then sat back in the car, lowered her head, and looked at her phone.

Suddenly the phone rang, an unfamiliar number, but it was a local number from the Imperial Capital on the caller ID.

She picked it up, and the old yet icy voice of Mr. Shi came through: "Girl, you have only two choices in front of you: stay in the Imperial Capital and be the granddaughter of the Shi Family. Once you leave the Imperial Capital, you can’t return to the Shi Family’s register, having nothing to do with the Shi Family from then on. I will consider as if I never had a granddaughter like you."

Sure enough, he turned his face in an instant.

No longer the lonely, helpless old man he seemed in the car just now.

Either obediently walk into the cage, or it doesn’t matter to him where you die under the high sky.

Shi Su held the phone in one hand, the other lightly on the armrest of the seat, softly tapping the leather surface, and said calmly, "Since I remember, I knew I shouldn’t have the surname Shi. When I cut ties with Shi Lingkang five years ago, the concept of the Imperial Capital’s Shi Family didn’t exist in my mind, which means, I was never a Shi Family member since I was a child. Now whether I’m accepted or exiled, what does it matter? I’m still living well."

Mr. Shi said in a deep voice, "I advise you to consider carefully."

"No need."

Mr. Shi’s voice now was so cold that she didn’t even want to maintain the politeness and directly hung up the phone.

Seeing Shi Su’s face exceptionally serious since she answered the call, Chujio curiously asked, "Shi Su, what’s wrong with you?"

Chujio knew that Shi Su seemed to have some relations with the Shi Family in Jiang City, but Shi Su usually didn’t mention these things. Sister Jun warned not to ask about others’ private matters, so Chujio was always unclear about Shi Su’s background. But anyway, Shi Su and Sister Jun would be her bosses in the future.

However, Shi Su’s words on the phone just now inevitably made the gossip queen Chujio a bit curious.

"Nothing much, just a contract worth tens of billions or even hundreds of billions to discuss, which I refused."

Chujio: "??????"

Shi Su looked at her: "Do you believe in pies falling from the sky?"

Chujio: "...No."

Shi Su chuckled: "Exactly, live well in the present. Some dreams that are unsuitable, don’t have them if you shouldn’t."

Chujio: "???"

Didn’t understand.

But a bit profound.

Never mind, the boss is always right.

In a hotel room in Jiang City.

The smell of alcohol was overpowering.

A shredded DNA report was thrown in the wastebasket.

Shi Yunyin locked herself in and drank for two days, then sat, dejected, by the window looking outside all day. Suddenly she didn’t know how to live, only hatred, hating just one person.

Shi Su.

Destroyed her family, destroyed her career.

Ultimately, Shi Su was the one who had a blood relationship with the Shi Family, while she actually didn’t even have the surname Shi.

The colossal lie that Xv Yaru had concealed for over twenty years almost crushed her, yet the burning hatred intensified.

She took out another can of alcohol, after drinking half, Shi Yunyin picked up the cellphone with its shattered screen she broke days ago and called Yi City’s number.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable..."

"Sorry, the number you dialed..."

"Sorry, you dialed..."

Time and again.

Countless confirmations that her number was blocked by Yi City.

An entertainment news app on the phone had, half an hour ago, a pop-up entertainment news, caught Yi City and a certain secretary from the company getting close at a drinking party, hugging intimately, speculating that Yi City was perhaps getting closer to another event after breaking up with Shi Yunyin, indulging in office romance in the company.

Shi Yunyin, rubbing her eyes almost dry of tears, took another sip of alcohol, staggered to change clothes, barely waking herself up, standing firmly, and continued to call Yi City.

Still unreachable every time.

She had already been destroyed by Shi Su.

She had nothing left.

At least Yi City was still there, regardless of whether he was with any secretary or had other women, he was not married yet, she could still fight for it...

Five years of affection, those five years they slept together.

If she had nothing, Yi City, so soft-hearted, wouldn’t ignore her, wouldn’t disregard her, he definitely... definitely would help her...

Shi Yunyin carrying her handbag stumbled into the elevator, and when she got downstairs at the hotel, staff seeing her unable to walk steadily, wanted to help her up: "You’ve been drinking? You can’t go out like this. We’ll call room service to send you back to your room, okay?"

"Get lost!" Shi Yunyin forcefully pushed the person away, continued to stagger outside, and flagged a taxi to get in.
