She Lives without Regret in This Life

”As soon as Qigang arrived, he sifted through the Feng Family from top to bottom, inside and out, like a sieve. At that time, it was discovered that Aunt Feng was actually Chief Ni’s wife, but the two of them kept such a low profile that no one knew.”

At that time, Chief Ni hadn’t shown any signs of betrayal, so they kept an eye on him without drawing attention. Later, during the auction, Chief Ni was dealt with, and Aunt Feng also couldn’t be kept.

For the sake of her dedication to the children, she was spared this time.

”You may leave!”

”Thank you, Uncle. See you at the next funeral,” Su Hai said with his hands in his coat pockets, stepping out of the glass room and leaving amidst the swirling snow.

Mr. Feng looked at his departing figure and suddenly laughed.

He once again admired his sister’s choice back then, thinking that with such a son, not even he could avoid waking up smiling in his sleep.

His nephew’s intelligence surpassed even his sister’s at the time. How could Su Qirong, a mere country bumpkin, have such an excellent son?

Sheng Ning spent an entire afternoon signing documents, half of her attention always on Feng Xintong, whose breathing grew more and more rapid as the pile of documents decreased.

She smiled, casually pulling out a piece of paper and continued as if nothing was amiss.

When it ended, and Housekeeper Xing came in with Lawyer Bruno to finalize the paperwork, Sheng Ning suddenly pulled out a gun and pointed it at the temple of Lawyer Bruno.

”What... what do you intend to do?” Bruno was so scared he nearly fell to his knees.

”Of course, to take your life.”

”By what right?” Bruno retorted confidently, ”You’re so crude and barbaric. If it weren’t out of respect for Mr. Feng, I would never collaborate with a despicable person like you.” Stripped of his disguise, Bruno’s demeanor was revolting.

”What about this?” She pulled out a piece of paper from her pockets, which was tucked among the Chinese property documents. The contents on that thin piece of paper were enough to make Sheng Ning pay a deadly price.

If she really signed it, not only would she not inherit the property, but she would also owe a massive debt.

”You... you...” Bruno’s eyes widened. ”How did you find out?” In the midst of so many pages, trying to sign all the documents in an afternoon, there was no way to examine each one carefully.

”Tell me, who put you up to this? If you say, I might consider sparing your life.” Sheng Ning’s palms were already sweating as she held the gun. The moment she entered this building, she clearly realized what she would be facing next.

She couldn’t win people’s hearts.

Even the people below looked at her with schadenfreude, assuming she was a useless waste.

When she realized Bruno was acting suspiciously, she knew the opportunity was here.

A chance to make an example of one to warn many, although brutal, would swiftly establish her foothold and save her a lot of trouble ahead. Both Uncle and Housekeeper Xing probably knew about this situation long ago, choosing not to warn her to see how she’d handle it.

Well then, she would ’perform’ for them all.

The place for handling the paperwork was in the lobby of a skyscraper in the Manhattan commercial district, home to the top elite talent. There were also the most cunning businessmen and lawyers with no scruples for money.

There were large amounts of money transactions happening here every day.

Anyone without skills would be completely devoured.

It was simple for Lawyer Bruno to be bought by Feng Xintong: offer massive benefits no one could refuse. Feng Xintong was always adept at manipulating others and stirring their desires.
