Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law-Chapter 2029 - 2047: Of Course It’s Not Enough

After her early death, the burden on her elder nephew’s shoulders grew heavier. I wonder if the news of her death would hit him too hard! This kid has always been good in every aspect, except for being a bit too domineering due to her indulgence from a young age. When she was around, any behavior was permissible, but with her gone, if he doesn’t change his temperament, he’s bound to cause great trouble.

There’s also Huo Dongfeng, her most valued apprentice whom she hand-picked and taught. He surely has no less suspicion regarding her death than Ji Yuanjie. If he keeps secretly investigating, he will undoubtedly become a thorn in Ding Meichen’s side. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"Su Er, I want to discuss something with you." Ji Yuanjie said.

"If it’s about pleading for Shen Yu, don’t bother saying it." Su Hai refused directly before Ji Yuanjie could say anything.

Shen Zian, who had been eavesdropping all along, discreetly perked up his ears, feeling sudden anxiety. He was just expressing concern about his elder nephew earlier! Could it be that he’s already in trouble?

Ji Yuanjie pursed his lips, his face visibly grim, "I know Shen Yu has caused significant trouble, and I’m not asking for anything. But hasn’t the entire Shen Family already paid the price for it? Isn’t it enough to bury the Shen Family with him? Do you have to let Shen Yu die?"

Ji Yuanjie felt his blood boiling internally, both because Su Hai was utterly heartless, and due to the severity of Shen Yu’s actions. He didn’t want to muddy the waters himself, but there was guilt in his heart while paying respects at Zi’an’s memorial today. As Zi’an’s best childhood friend, he failed to take care of her nephew after her death.

Honestly, Ji Yuanjie felt embarrassed to visit Shen Zian’s grave.

Shen Zian was dumbstruck, the Shen Family is ruined? His elder nephew is going to die? What on earth happened for things to reach this point?

Su Hai’s thin lips curled into a mocking cold smile, "Of course, it’s not enough!"

"You..." Ji Yuanjie was about to lose his temper, but Gong Liping grabbed him, suppressing his internal anger.

"Let’s talk this over calmly and properly." Gong Liping was also anxious; he couldn’t bear to see the leader’s family decline to such an extent after her death. But he was merely the squad leader at a small border post, incapable of offering any help.

"Does he look like he’s willing to talk calmly?" Ji Yuanjie complained irritably, "The entire Shen Family has been ruined by him, and I won’t even argue about it, because it was Shen Yu’s own mistakes. But can’t I ask you to spare Shen Yu’s life somehow? At least for Zi’an’s sake, he was her most cherished relative."

Shen Zian almost couldn’t control her own body; she clenched her fists tightly, her knuckles turning white.

Li Erhua didn’t notice her daughter’s unusual behavior at all. Seeing that half her bowl of noodles was untouched, she secretly used her chopsticks to transfer half to her own bowl and happily ate it.

Su Hai put down his chopsticks, his voice deep as he lightly said, "I haven’t done anything to the Shen Family. Also, don’t mention Shen Zian to me; what does she have to do with me? Do I need to show respect to a dead person?"

If she were still alive, he definitely wouldn’t be able to control himself, willingly becoming a man blinded by desire. Whatever she wanted, he would surely accomplish for her; he would listen to whatever she said.

But Shen Zian is dead, has been dead for ten years, leaving anguish for the living.

"What are you saying?"

"The right thing," Su Hai lowered his gaze, took a neatly folded blue handkerchief out of his jacket pocket, wiped his lips, then got up, "I’m full, I have things to do so I’ll leave first, enjoy your meal."

Shen Zian’s eyes were reddened as she stared at the departing figure, feeling an unprecedented sense of unfamiliarity.

Is this really the Su Hai she’s known since childhood?

Why so unfamiliar?
