Chapter 2

Shen Xi kept telling herself that those incidents were mere coincidences.

Until she was diagnosed with leukemia, her family members told her that they had undergone bone marrow match tests but none of them were suitable donors. They told her not to give up and that they would keep searching for a match for her.

Ravaged by her illness, she could do nothing but lie on her bed as her life slowly seeped away from her day by day.

When Su Ruowan came to visit, she showed her the bone marrow match test reports. Apparently, all three of her brothers served as suitable donors, but not one of them was willing to save her.

Su Ruowan told Shen Xi that what happened to her legs, hands, and face were not accidents, but a plot masterminded by herself.

Back then, Shen Xi badly wanted to kill her and every member of the Su family.

Yet, she was sickly and dying. Thus, there was nothing to do but to watch as her enemy carried on with her life happily.

After she died in sorrow, regret, pain, loneliness, and misery, she realized that she was living in a book titled “Lady Luck”.

Su Ruowan was the female lead who was adored by everyone. Her future was bright; Her parents and brothers spoilt her; Her affectionate and powerful fiancé loved her. All was rosy and well for her familial relationships, love life and career. She was sailing towards the peak of her life.

As for Shen Xi, she was just the pitiful supporting character who complemented the female lead.

Su Yi’s face darkened. He raised his hand to slap her.

Shen Xi reacted in time and deflected his slap with a swing of the whip.

The air around them cracked loudly as if she had torn through a hole in the atmosphere.

Su Yi withdrew his hand in fright.

Su Muyan growled nastily, “Dad, she’s obnoxious and has no respect for her elders. She isn’t fit to be one of us at all!”

Shen Xi let out a cold laugh. “Exactly, I’m not one of you. You’re a bunch of maggots in a pile of sh*t. How is it possible for you to produce an innocent little sweetheart like me?”

Regret?

Pain?

Nothing.

What was left in her was disdain, contempt, and hatred towards them!

In this lifetime, she would not be controlled by her fate and die a miserable, lonely, and painful death.

She wanted to leave the Su family, live a good life, and make them understand how it felt like to have a fate worse than death.

Su Yi was vexed. “Look at yourself, you b*tch! It’s true that whatever that comes from the village is lowly and shouldn’t be regarded highly!”

“So what if I come from the village? The person who came from the village is here to annoy you. Three generations ago, your grandfather also came from the village,” Shen Xi jeered.

“Dad, see how rude she is!” Su Muyan was shaking with fury.

“Feisty little c*nt, you must have been infected with a bunch of diseases in the village.” All her life, Li Jingran had despised people like her.

Shen Xi mocked, “You’re just an opportunistic homewrecker. What right do you have to badmouth me? I came from the village and I know all about morals. I’ll never wreck someone else’s family and become a mistress!”

Li Jingran was so furious that she felt her veins tightening. Her vision began to blacken and she lost her footing. Had someone not caught hold of her, she would have passed out on the spot. She placed a hand on her forehead as she said, “Dear, I can’t take it anymore. You take care of her and get her out of my sight. I don’t want to see her ever again!”

How did she know?

Who told her these things?

Li Jingran and her husband were a power couple in show business. Nobody knew that her husband had remarried!

Su Yi told Li Jingran to get some rest. For the first time, he looked at his daughter, who had been home for a year, in the eyes. “What do you want?”

A year had passed since her return, yet he did not know what she looked like. Upon observation, he realized that she almost had his wife’s brows and eyes.

His wife was a beauty. Naturally, Shen Xi had inherited her genes and her appearance was not bad.

However, when Su Yi gazed deep into the depths of his daughter’s eyes, he saw the indifference, coldness, and careless mockery in them. They made her look like a bad and unlikeable person.

As a girl, she ought to be gentler, kinder, and more caring, like his wife or Wanwan, so that people would like her.

“Fifty million.” Shen Xi knocked on the table nonchalantly. “As a payment to sever all ties between me and the Su family. Of course, I won’t tell the public that your wife got to the top as a mistress, and neither will I tell the Gu family that Su Ruowan is a fraud.”

When the Su family brought her back, they told outsiders that she was adopted. On the contrary, Su Ruowan was the real heiress of the family. They even wanted her to keep the secret to protect the marriage between the heirs of the Su and Gu families.

“Are you so poor that you lost your mind?!” Su Muyan boomed.

Little b*tch, it was daylight robbery!

“Muyan, draft us a contract.” Su Yi interrupted his son. Why was he so impulsive? He looked at Shen Xi. “I hope you’ll keep your promise.”

Fifty million? Fine, the Su family was in no shortage of money. He merely treated it as severance pay!

Or else, with a crafty troublemaker like her who was constantly stirring sh*t up, he wondered what she would do to harm Wanwan again.

Shen Xi signed her name. After receiving fifty million yuan, she strode out of the house haughtily while the Su family stared at her scornfully.

It was bright and sunny outside.

She lifted her head to glance at the sunlight. Great, she had money now. Suddenly, she felt refreshed and energetic, and the wounds on her body no longer ached.

“Little Sis.” Unexpectedly, Su Ruowan’s voice appeared behind her. She sounded tender and meek. “Mom, Dad, please talk some sense into her. If anyone is to leave, it’s me. How could you let her go?”

Su Yi and Li Jingran remained quiet. Instead, they glared at Shen Xi viciously.

Su Ruowan eyed Su Muyan in a pleading manner. “Second Elder Brother, I believe Little Sis didn’t mean to push me. I merely broke my leg. How could all of you chase her away?”

Su Muyan clenched his teeth. “Wanwan, she’s not fit to be your sister!”

Su Ruowan regarded Shen Xi pitifully and begged her, “Little Sis, don’t you want to participate in “National Idol”? I’ve told Mom and Dad that I won’t be participating in it, but you will.

My leg is broken and there’s no need for me to head there. You can join the competition and make your dream come true. Please don’t leave, I beg you.”

The other members of the Su family directed furious stares at Shen Xi when they heard this remark. Their gazes were like sharp knives that were launched at her continuously. They desperately wanted to shred her into pieces.

That evil girl pushed Wanwan down the stairs just because she wanted to participate in “National Idol”. What a heartless individual!

Shen Xi nearly threw up when she heard her sister’s words. She turned around and addressed Su Ruowan with a smile and a wave of her hand. “Sis, can you come over here? I have something to tell you.”

“National Idol” was a talent show and Su Yi was its biggest investor. The whole family had everything laid out for Su Ruowan so that she could make her debut in the central role.

As soon as Shen Xi got wind of this, she went to Su Yi and pleaded that he put her on the show as well. However, he flatly denied her pleas and scolded her for being greedy.

Su Ruowan was taken aback and her gaze shifted with uncertainty. Still, as her parents and brothers were around, she thought that Shen Xi would not dare to do anything to her.

Shen Xi noticed that Su Ruowan had come forward. The other members were obedient, too, and did not follow suit. She inched closer to her elder sister and said, “Su Ruowan, stop pretending in front of me.”
