Pampered By All In Different Planes-Chapter 436 - 380: Birth Mother Indifferent Like a Chrysanthemum? The Young Miss Sabotages Everything with a Backhand 20

"Oh, I said I’d never fight with anyone for anything again, and now I just can’t be cruel enough to do it, otherwise it would hurt my heart!" Su Zhiruan looked leisurely towards the lively living room, not even deigning to give Su Tianci a glance as she spoke, with a faint smile playing at the corner of her mouth.

"You—"

Su Tianci knew she was being sarcastic. After all, such words were usually said by Ning Fu, and now, coming from her, they were endless sarcasm and mockery.

Since arriving in this world, Su Zhiruan never hid her malice. This made Su Tianci wonder when the always hardworking and willing to toil for the family’s sake Su Zhiruan had turned into someone who spoke in such an obnoxious and barbed manner.

"You’ve changed, you really have changed! Although you weren’t exactly a good person before, you weren’t so wicked! To just stand by and not help as mom fights with someone else, to not even bother to check on her! Are you really that heartless?!" Su Tianci frowned, his eyes filled with condemnation as he stood with his hands behind his back, placing himself on a moral high ground.

Su Zhiruan sneered and said offhandedly, "Since you care so much, why don’t you step in? What’s the point of just talking?"

"I’m warning you, I was planning on giving you a chance to show your loyalty in front of mom. Maybe she would have had a change of heart and started liking you. But I didn’t expect someone like you to be beyond help, to not even know how to take advantage of an opportunity!" Su Tianci felt his sore spot poked and raised his voice, "If you’re so capable, then never ask mom for anything ever again, whether it’s regarding school or anything else. Can you do that?!"

Su Zhiruan raised an eyebrow and thought of another matter.

This Friday, which is tomorrow, the teacher is going to have parents sign the contract for guaranteed admission to school, and she hasn’t found the right person yet. As for Su Qin and Ning Fu, naturally, they are out of the question. She didn’t plan to let them know about this news.

The original owner trusted them, told Ning Fu about it. After Ning Fu went to the school, he turned his back on her, willingly giving up the original owner’s spot for guaranteed admission to another student.

Su Zhiruan stopped arguing with Su Tianci, instead, she took out her phone and saw the newly added contact of Xie Yanshang. She decided to try her luck boldly, though she didn’t hold much hope since she knew how busy Xie Yanshang was.

If it worked, great, and if not, she would find someone else. It was just about seizing a chance to speak with Xie Yanshang and gaining some visibility in front of him, for the days to come to unfold her strategy.

Seeing Su Zhiruan fiddling with her phone, completely ignoring him, Su Tianci felt a surge of determination, huffed loudly, and left.

As he walked away, he carefully observed Su Zhiruan out of the corner of his eye, hoping she would chase after him and cajole him as she did before.

But his wishful thinking was misplaced. The Su Zhiruan of now was no longer the Su Zhiruan of before. No one would lower themselves to cajole him like she used to.

Su Zhiruan played with her phone, not caring where he went or what he was doing at this point.

Only then did Su Tianci finally realize that Su Zhiruan indeed wouldn’t bother with them anymore.

Xie Family.

At this moment, Xie Yanshang lay on the sofa, eyes closed, dozing off.

He had been running back and forth between the company and the hospital recently, extremely busy, hardly even managing a proper sleep. When he got home, he fell asleep on the sofa. His tall figure attracted a lot of attention in the living room.

"Madam Xie, we’re playing cards here. Will it disturb Mr. Xie’s sleep? Seeing the dark circles under his eyes, it looks like he hasn’t had a good night’s rest for quite some time. Should we move to another location?" A kind-hearted madam, seeing Xie Yanshang so exhausted, softened her moves in the card game, fearing she might wake him up.

But Madam Xie shook her head, indifferent. She glanced at her son and said with resignation, "Don’t worry about him, let’s continue with our game. This kid insists on taking on a job at the hospital. Now he’s running himself ragged. It’s not just the sofa; once when his dad and I came home, he was asleep in the car with the engine still running. Can you imagine how dangerous that is! Him sleeping here, it will be convenient to wake him up when it’s time. He wanted it this way."
