Dedicated to studying, yet forced into a chaotic situation.

Chapter 195 Preventing a Violent Incident

Shi Sui took the afternoon off to pick up Chen Man at the train station.

In the past, it was Chen Man who attended her parent-teacher conferences.

Back then, whenever Shi Sui heard that there might be a parent-teacher conference after the exams, she would take the exams very seriously, almost like she was cheating on the questions, and her grades would jump from the bottom to the middle to upper ranks.

Now, she's ranked in the top three of her grade, even better than Pei Shuoxun.

Although it takes a high-speed train to get here from T City, Chen Man doesn't find it troublesome.

After the academic affairs office changed the information, before the parents' meeting, Shi Sui took Chen Man for a walk around the campus.

When it was almost time to go back to the classroom, I looked at the classroom door and saw that there was an extra person in the seat.

Shi Sui pulled Chen Man back: "Mom, wait at the door for a moment."

She strode into the classroom, saw Jiang Shu, and said expressionlessly, "Parent, you're sitting in the wrong place."

She considered herself very polite and didn't tell her to get lost directly.

"Shi Sui?" Jiang Shu looked up when she heard the voice.

The girl's gaze was icy, as if she were looking at a stranger.

Jiang Shu hadn't seen Shi Sui for so long; her memory was still stuck on their first meeting, in that despised rural area.

She couldn't accept that her own daughter was as vulgar as a savage and spoke with an unpleasant accent (which she has since corrected).

After being brought home, the child from the countryside was timid and shy in the big city for the first time. It took a month to correct his Mandarin accent.

She lacked the confidence and radiance of Jiang Tianyao, who had been raised by her side since childhood.

And now, in front of her is Shi Sui.

Her eyes were icy yet clear, her cheeks were radiant and glowing, and even her once dry hair was now shiny. Not to mention her overall demeanor, which was completely different from before.

Jiang Shu was somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected that Shi Sui would not only not have a bad time after leaving home, but would actually become more beautiful.

Shi Sui frowned when she saw that Shi Sui was still occupying the seat: "You're sitting in the wrong place, aren't you going to leave?"

"Shi Sui," Jiang Shu said, not knowing why she spoke up, "I'm your mother, I'm here for your parent-teacher conference."

Upon hearing the words "I am your mother," Shi Sui exclaimed: "Fuck you!"

The girl's face visibly darkened: "I don't know you, get out."

Jiang Shu's expression froze instantly.

Many people around looked over.

She had just been bragging to these parents about her daughter getting third place in the grade.

Shi Sui curled her lip: "Can't you roll away by yourself? Do you need me to help you?"

While Jiang Shu was still stunned, Shi Sui grabbed her arm directly.

Suddenly pulled with great force, Jiang Shu let out a sharp cry and almost fell off the chair.

She was lifted off the ground and dragged along.

"Shi Sui, where has your manners gone? How did I raise you—"

"Heh." Shi Sui sneered and dragged her out of the classroom in a few steps.

Watching the excitement is in their blood; many parents in the classroom turned to look.

In the hallway, Jiang Shu caught her breath before speaking: "Shi Sui, I came here out of kindness to attend your parent-teacher conference, what do you want from me?"

Shi Sui ignored her, while Chen Man stood right next to her.

She took Chen Man's arm and said in a sweet voice, "Mom, I'll take you inside."

Jiang Shu's breath hitched, and she stared blankly at the woman whose arm was being intimately linked with Shi Sui's.

The woman took good care of herself and dressed very young.

Without a second thought, she rushed over and grabbed Chen Man's other arm, completely abandoning her usual elegance, her voice sharp: "Who are you?!"

Chen Man also looked at Jiang Shu and smiled gently: "Shi Sui is smart, beautiful and sensible. I am her mother."

Her smile was gentle, but Jiang Shu found it extremely ironic.

It's as if they're saying, 'Shi Sui is smart, beautiful, and sensible. Your Jiang family doesn't know how to cherish her. Now she's my daughter.'

Jiang Shu seemed to have been slapped in the face, and stood there stunned for a second before being pulled away by Shi Sui.

If anyone dared to touch Chen Man, Shi Sui no longer hid her disgust: "Don't fucking go crazy, get out."

Seeing Chen Man's obedient and sensible nature, and her coldness and disgust towards her, Jiang Shu felt as if she had been slapped twice.

As if trying to avoid a virus, Shi Sui quickly pulled Chen Man into the classroom.

Jiang Shu's upbringing prevented her from making a scene like a shrew, but she didn't leave either. Instead, she recalled the two months that Shi Sui had been taken back to the Jiang family.

They arranged a room for her, helped her change her accent, taught her etiquette and manners, and even got Jiang Tianyao to give her some of her pretty clothes, trying every possible way to get rid of the poor, low-class vibe she carried...

Where have I ever mistreated her?!

Shi Sui walked out of the classroom and found Jiang Shu still in the corridor, her face pale with anger.

Jiang Shu maintained her composure, suppressing her anger: "Shi Sui, did you deliberately find a stranger to be your mother to anger me?!"

Shi Sui initially chose to ignore her, but after hearing this, she laughed in anger: "Who are you? Don't you know who the stranger is?"

Looking at her cold expression, Jiang Shu felt as if she had been pricked by a needle.

“Didn’t they tell you about your precious son Jiang Chenjin and your biological daughter Jiang Tianyao?” Shi Sui forced a smile. “I have no relation to your Jiang family. Don’t ever appear in front of me again.”

Jiang Shu's blood rushed to her head, and her voice rose: "You're my own daughter! Do you really have to say these hurtful things here at the parent-teacher conference today?"

"Heh." Shi Sui sneered, "It seems Jiang Chenjin didn't explain things clearly to you. I happen to have some free time now, so I'll tell you."

“When I was abducted, you reported me missing and cancelled my household registration. You haven’t done any parentage test, so legally we have no relationship.”

“I stayed at the Jiang family’s house for two months. I paid Jiang Chenjin for the accommodation and tuition fees, and even more, so I don’t owe you any money.”

"Understand?"

In an instant, the surrounding air was enveloped in a deathly silence.

Jiang Shu was a little out of breath because she realized—

Just as she forgot to change Shi Sui's surname, she didn't think to ask the police to issue a paternity certificate for Shi Sui.

They are not registered in the same household register, and legally they are truly unrelated.

Jiang Shu's lips trembled slightly as she asked, "Was the 300,000 yuan you gave to Shen Jin given to you by the young master of the Chi family?"

Shi Sui was a little confused, wondering why she asked this.

But she still nodded subconsciously: "Yes."

Then I saw Jiang Shu's eyes flicker.

At that moment, Shi Sui seemed to sense something and turned around to look.

Not far down the corridor, the boy walked over with his hands in his pockets. The afternoon light shone on him, gilding his figure with a golden edge, making him dazzling and clear.

She stared at him for two seconds before Shi Sui noticed that there was a sprightly old man standing beside him.

Chi Yan saw Shi Sui from afar, along with the woman standing opposite her, as if they were in a standoff.

Although he didn't know who the woman opposite Shi Sui was, he could sense that Shi Sui was rejecting her.

The only people she could reject were the Jiang family and that guy surnamed Gu.

So he strode over, and just as he was about to ask what was going on, the woman spoke first.

Jiang Shu smiled broadly: "Hello, I'm Shi Sui's mother. You must be the young master of the Chi family. I often hear Shi Sui mention you—"

Shi Sui was startled by her words and immediately interrupted, "Get lost, I don't know you."

Jiang Shu's expression stiffened for a moment, but she still maintained a polite smile: "Shi Sui, don't act like a child. Let's have a good talk when we get home."

Shi Sui hardened her fist.

So all those words she just said were for nothing? Jiang Shu still wanted to talk to her?

I'm too tired to talk anymore, I want to hit someone.

But some people's mouths are faster than her fists.

Chi Yan: "Didn't you hear that Shi Sui doesn't recognize you? Get lost!"

The boy frowned slightly, his eyes turned cold, and his aura was imposing.

Jiang Shu's expression was extremely unpleasant, her lips slightly parted as she tried to think of something to say to ease the tension.

Chi Yan clicked his tongue: "Can't you get out of here by yourself? Do I have to call someone to drag you away?"

He took out his phone from his pocket and tapped it a few times, as if he were really calling someone.

Yes.

That's really something.

Less than a minute later, the sound of orderly footsteps echoed down the corridor, and tall, burly bodyguards in black suits walked over as if they had appeared out of thin air.

Not only was Jiang Shu dumbfounded, but Shi Sui was also stunned.

Chi Yan slightly raised his chin, his dark eyes glancing at Jiang Shu.

The bodyguard in black received the order, grabbed Jiang Shu's wrist, and without any mercy, broke it with a snap.

Jiang Shu screamed in pain, "Ah—my hand is broken!"

Hearing the scream, Chi Yan frowned slightly in displeasure.

The bodyguard in black, observing the young master's expression, understood that he was dissatisfied with their inefficiency.

With a swift chop, he knocked Jiang Shu unconscious and dragged her away.

Throughout the entire process, Shi Sui was dumbfounded and extremely envious.

Wow, she'll definitely hire bodyguards when she's rich!

"Shi Sui." Chi Yan waved his hand in front of her. "Are you stunned?"

"Yes." Shi Sui nodded and looked away.

Confused, she looked up and asked him, "Where did you get bodyguards from at school?"

Chi Yan tilted his head and introduced, "This is my grandfather, and the bodyguards are there to protect him."

Shi Sui looked at Grandpa Chi.

The man wore a black top hat, a well-tailored suit jacket draped over his shoulders, and stood as straight as a pine tree, dressed entirely in black.

His eyes were bright, and he exuded the aura of someone in a high position, possessing a quiet and authoritative presence honed by the years.

Then, the imposing old man, Mr. Chi, smiled and said, "Hello, Sui Sui, this is our first meeting, but I've often heard my son, A Yan, mention you."

Sui Sui!

Chi Yan's head buzzed; he had never called Shi Sui that intimately before!

Why would his grandfather dare to do that?
