The Apocalypse of the Book: So What If I'm Just a Cannon Fodder? I Can Still Have Fun

107: Sometimes living is more painful than dying.Su Mianmian didn’t miss the smile on Shi Xu’s lips, and she stuck out her tongue at him, looking mischievous.

”Mianmian, stop teasing Shi Xu. Let’s head upstairs quickly!”

”He wouldn’t understand the feelings of people like us who love our beds.”

Su Jinxuan walked a few steps, then realized Su Mianmian and Shi Xu hadn’t followed. He turned back, pulled Su Mianmian along, and said helplessly.

Su Mianmian felt that what Su Jinxuan said made sense, and she really did follow him.

Shi Xu watched the backs of the two siblings from behind, momentarily unsure what to say.

He felt like he was being excluded by the two of them.

Upon returning home, Su Mianmian was enveloped by Mother Shi’s immense enthusiasm.

Just as she finally managed to escape Mother Shi, she was called to the monitoring room by Xu Qing.

”Mianmian, in the two days you were gone, someone came to inquire about you.”

”And not just once.”

”Do you know them?”

Xu Qing adjusted the monitoring screen to show the people who had inquired about Su Mianmian, signaling her to take a look.

As soon as Su Mianmian heard that someone had come to inquire about her, she guessed that those people must have been sent by Su Ran.

She bit her lip, feeling incredibly annoyed.

Why was Su Ran always trying to cause trouble for her?

She hadn’t even had a chance to go looking for trouble with her, yet Su Ran was coming to her.

Su Mianmian looked up and casually glanced at the monitoring screen, discovering two familiar figures on it.

One was her stepmother, and the other was the body owner’s biological father.

Su Mianmian frowned. Why were these people so persistent?

Su Ran hadn’t even been dealt with, and these two had popped up from who knows where.

”I know these two people. One is my stepmother, and the other is my biological father who acts like a stepfather.”

”When did they come?”

Su Mianmian said with irritation.

Upon hearing this, Xu Qing felt like he had discovered some small secrets.

He suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

”Mianmian, don’t be too sad. If they dare to mess with you, we’ll beat them up.”

Xu Qing raised his hand and scratched the back of his head, looking embarrassed.

Su Mianmian, of course, knew what he was embarrassed about. She was already numb to such things; anyone could know.

Besides, how could just beating them up be enough?

Su Jinxuan was practically itching to kill Su Ran and that stepmother.

Thinking of this, Su Mianmian said she was going to find Su Jinxuan and turned to leave.

Xu Qing watched her hurried departure, feeling a little scared.

Soon after, Shi Xu came to ask him if anything had happened these past few days. Xu Qing told him about these events and Su Mianmian’s reaction.

After he finished speaking, Xu Qing felt much better.

Shi Xu, however, felt nothing. He believed Su Mianmian was not an impulsive person.

Her rushing to find Su Jinxuan was probably just to tell him the news.

His expression was so calm upon hearing about this that Xu Qing couldn’t help but ask, ”Boss, aren’t you worried about Mianmian and Su Jinxuan?”

Shi Xu shook his head. Why should he worry about them?

”You don’t need to concern yourself with these matters; they will handle them themselves.”

”Just keep a close eye on the surveillance. If those two people come, go tell Mianmian and the others.”

”But remember to casually tell me as well.”

Shi Xu said he wasn’t worried about Su Mianmian and the others, but in reality, he still was.

When Xu Qing heard his last sentence, he knew that Shi Xu was actually uneasy about Su Mianmian and Su Jinxuan.

A knowing smile appeared on his lips, and he nodded, saying, ”Alright, Boss.”

Shi Xu ignored Xu Qing. After learning about the events of the past few days, he turned and left.

He went to Su Mianmian’s room, knocked on the door, but no one answered.

Shi Xu thought for a moment, then walked towards Su Jinxuan’s room.

Su Jinxuan’s door wasn’t fully closed. When Shi Xu reached his doorway, he could still hear Su Jinxuan’s angry voice coming from inside.

Shi Xu knocked on the door, then pushed it open and walked in.

When Su Mianmian saw Shi Xu, she guessed he must have heard about her and Su Jinxuan from Xu Qing.

”Shi Xu, quickly come and persuade my brother. He wants to sneak into those two people’s room tonight and kill that woman.”

”Now is not a good time. Hurry and come persuade him.”

Su Mianmian said to Shi Xu with a helpless expression.

Su Mianmian had just been thinking about how to sneak out and call Shi Xu for help, and luckily, he arrived before she had to go look for him.

Su Mianmian looked at Shi Xu as if he were a lifesaver.

Shi Xu nodded reassuringly at her, then turned to Su Jinxuan, looking helpless, and said, ”Su Jinxuan, you’re a grown man. Why are you still so impulsive?”

Su Jinxuan didn’t expect Shi Xu to criticize him right away, and he couldn’t help but feel annoyed.

”How am I being impulsive?”

”Those two women dared to scheme against me while I was unconscious. I’ve wanted to get rid of them for a long time. If it weren’t for being busy a while ago, I wouldn’t have given them any breathing room.”

”They’ve lived long enough now. I think it’s time to send them down.”

Su Jinxuan gritted his teeth, looking angry.

He had wanted to kill Li Mei and Su Ran, that mother-daughter pair, for a long time.

Su Mianmian, of course, understood Su Jinxuan’s annoyance, but she felt that sending them both to hell wouldn’t really be much revenge.

Sometimes, the most painful thing isn’t death, but living a life worse than death.

Su Mianmian looked at Su Jinxuan’s annoyed expression and advised, ”Brother, don’t you think living a life worse than death is the most painful thing?

Will you be happy if they both die?

If you really would be very happy, then go kill them now.”

Su Mianmian felt that sometimes watching them fight amongst themselves was the happiest thing.

When Su Jinxuan heard Su Mianmian say this, he became a little interested.

”Mianmian, have you thought of a good idea?”

”Why don’t you tell me about it.”

Su Jinxuan looked at Su Mianmian with interest, curious.

Su Mianmian smiled, ”Brother, do you know that Su Ran is not actually Su Lie’s daughter?”

Su Jinxuan paused when he heard that.

”What?”

”Is Su Ran really not his daughter?”

Su Jinxuan looked at Su Mianmian with curiosity and shock.

Could it be that Li Mei cheated on Su Lie?

Thinking of this, Su Jinxuan couldn’t help but feel a hint of sarcasm.

”When Mother was in confinement after giving birth to me, Su Lie cheated with Li Mei, his childhood sweetheart, but what he didn’t know was that Li Mei also had affairs with other men.”

”Whose child is Su Ran? Who knows?”

”Before the apocalypse, I secretly did a paternity test for them and found that Su Ran really wasn’t his child.”

”I was too busy back then and completely forgot about this matter, but now...”

Su Mianmian took out the long-forgotten paternity test report from her space and handed it to Su Jinxuan.

Su Jinxuan took it and examined it carefully, discovering that Su Ran truly wasn’t Su Lie’s child.

”This is too funny. Could Su Xiao also not be Su Lie’s child?”

”Mianmian, did you do one for them?”

Su Jinxuan suddenly thought of their nominal younger brother, and he asked curiously.

Su Mianmian didn’t expect Su Jinxuan to be so quick-witted. She smiled mysteriously at him and took out another paternity test from her space.

”I didn’t expect it to be true.”

”Su Lie has essentially been given two big green hats by Li Mei.”

”I wonder if he’ll die of anger when he finds out.”

”Mianmian, do you know who Li Mei cheated with?”

Su Jinxuan suddenly became curious about who Li Mei had cheated with.

Su Mianmian, of course, knew who Li Mei had cheated with. She calmly said, ”It was a man Li Mei met after Su Lie and our mother got married. Later, through Li Mei’s connections, he entered our home as a butler.”

Su Jinxuan shook his head, indicating he had no impression.

Su Mianmian didn’t pay attention; she herself didn’t have much of an impression of him either.

That man had a very low sense of presence. She wondered how he could stand his woman showing affection with other men, and his two children calling someone else ’Dad’ every day.

Su Mianmian felt his psychological fortitude was truly immense.

”When you were watching the surveillance earlier, did you see him?”

Su Jinxuan suddenly thought of this and looked at Su Mianmian curiously.

Su Mianmian shook her head; she hadn’t seen that person.

”He might be dead.”

”The apocalypse arrived, and Li Mei knows who is most beneficial to her.”
