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

119: Evil will be punishedAs if sensing Su Mianmian’s speechlessness towards him, Su Jinxuan looked at her with an air of confidence and loudly declared, ”What’s wrong? Can’t I protect my sister?”

Su Mianmian rolled her eyes at him, her expression clearly saying, ’Don’t I know exactly what you’re thinking?’

Su Jinxuan couldn’t help but chuckle. It seemed his sister had a bit of a temper after all; the more time he spent with her, the fresher her personality felt.

”Alright, I was just worried you’d get beaten up by Shi Xu.”

”If I stand guard outside and hear sounds of a fight, couldn’t I rush in and save you quickly?”

”You truly don’t understand my concern.”

Su Jinxuan looked at Su Mianmian with an expression that said, ’You’ve let down my concern for you,’ his tone filled with sadness.

Su Mianmian felt that Su Jinxuan was really mistaken to have joined the army; with his acting skills, he should have developed a career in the entertainment industry.

Perhaps he could even win an Oscar for Best Actor.

Su Mianmian’s gaze was too peculiar, and Su Jinxuan gradually became serious.

”Alright, alright, I was wrong, isn’t that enough?”

”My dear aunt, please forgive me!”

”Oh, and about me eavesdropping, you absolutely cannot let Shi Xu hear about it, otherwise, you’ll lose me, your brother.”

Su Jinxuan lowered his voice, looking at Su Mianmian with a pleading expression.

Seeing his sincere expression, Su Mianmian suddenly thought of a big problem.

”Did you hear anything just now?”

Su Mianmian scrutinized Su Jinxuan, outwardly calm, but with a stampede of horses in her heart.

She was really worried that Su Jinxuan had heard the sounds of her and Shi Xu kissing. If he had, she felt like she’d have a complex about kissing Shi Xu in the future.

Su Mianmian could only pray that Su Jinxuan hadn’t heard anything.

Su Jinxuan looked at Su Mianmian’s worried expression, and he said with a hint of confusion, ”Mianmian, you don’t actually think I was really crouching by your door eavesdropping, do you?”

How could he be someone so lacking in propriety?

Su Jinxuan looked at Su Mianmian with an accusatory expression, as if her suspicion of him made him particularly sad.

Hearing Su Jinxuan’s words, Su Mianmian couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Luckily, he wasn’t really crouching by the door eavesdropping on them, otherwise... Su Mianmian looked at Su Jinxuan with a relaxed expression, noticing he was still looking at her with an accusatory gaze. She couldn’t help but chuckle and casually explained, ”I was just afraid that if you were too close, Shi Xu would notice you?”

Su Jinxuan was a bit skeptical. Was she really thinking that just now?

He looked at her suspiciously, as if evaluating whether her words were true.

Su Mianmian turned her head away, no longer looking at Su Jinxuan.

He was no ordinary person; if he really noticed something, wouldn’t her lie just now be exposed?

Su Mianmian decided to change the subject.

”Oh, by the way, Big Brother, how are things with Su Ran?”

”Has Wu Yao already gone to do what I asked him to?”

She looked at Su Jinxuan with a puzzled expression, curious.

Su Mianmian hadn’t expected to be away for so long and wondered how things were going with Wu Yao and Su Ran.

Given how Su Ran had been raised by Li Mei to only listen to her, Su Mianmian felt it would be difficult for Wu Yao to get Su Ran on his side.

However, she trusted Wu Yao; he would definitely find a way to use Su Ran against Li Mei.

The only question was how he would do it.

Su Mianmian lowered her head, staring at the floor with a complex expression, pondering these questions.

Su Jinxuan, however, became serious. When it came to important matters, he was always reliable.

”Mianmian, Su Ran has already been handled by Wu Yao.”

”Li Mei won’t be rampant for much longer.”

”But I know our most important target is Su Lie.”

Ever since Su Jinxuan heard Su Mianmian say that Su Lie was very likely the true murderer of their biological mother, his heart had been filled with a desire to kill Su Lie.

Their mother was so good; if Su Lie hadn’t been so cruel, how could she have left them?

Su Jinxuan felt that as a son, he absolutely had to avenge their mother, even if the enemy was their biological father.

A clear murderous intent flashed in his eyes. Su Mianmian happened to look up at him, clearly seeing this murderous intent.

Looking at Su Jinxuan like this, she couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache.

When the Original Body’s Owner’s mother passed away, she was still quite young and didn’t have many memories, but Su Jinxuan was different; he was raised by their mother.

When she died, Su Jinxuan was also the most heartbroken.

Su Mianmian wasn’t him, so she couldn’t empathize, but she believed in ’a life for a life,’ even if that person was their father.

Thinking of this, she strongly supported Su Jinxuan’s actions.

”Big Brother, I truly understand what you want to do. Don’t worry, we will absolutely not let go of those who have harmed us.”

”In this world, there is no absolute good or evil; everything depends on how an individual thinks.”

”For those who do bad deeds and don’t repent, continuing to commit evil, I think it’s not wrong for us to act on behalf of Heaven.”

”Even if morality doesn’t allow it, so what?”

”When he murdered our mother, did he know how to write the word ’morality’?”

Su Mianmian looked at Su Jinxuan, her face filled with hatred.

Since she had inherited the Original Body’s Owner’s body, it was up to her to avenge the Original Body’s Owner’s loss of her mother.

Su Jinxuan looked at his sister like this, his face filled with satisfaction.

He hadn’t doted on her in vain.

Su Jinxuan reached out and stroked her head, a smile on his face.

”Mianmian, Big Brother didn’t dote on you in vain.”

”Su Lie deceived our mother, then not only seized the family fortune grandfather left for mother but also caused her death. How can such a vicious person deserve to remain in this world?”

Su Jinxuan looked at the building opposite, a hint of hatred in his eyes.

He had been too naive back then. He thought that no matter how bad Su Lie was, he wouldn’t be so evil as to murder their mother, but the result... Su Jinxuan clenched his fists. If he had known earlier that it was Su Lie’s doing, he would have sent him to hell long ago.

Su Mianmian seemed to understand what he was thinking. She reached out and grasped his tightly clenched hand, saying with disapproval, ”Big Brother, don’t blame yourself. Evil deeds will eventually meet their retribution, and Su Lie’s comeuppance is about to arrive.”

She was very worried that Su Jinxuan would blame himself, feeling that his earlier investigation into their mother’s death was unclear.

But he was still young then; how could he have had the ability to contend with a cunning person and win?

That he was alive and well was the best outcome.

Su Mianmian looked at Su Jinxuan with a gentle expression, hoping he would understand this point.

Su Jinxuan looked at Su Mianmian’s worried expression, and he couldn’t help but show a relieved look.

”Mianmian, you’re the one who cares about me.”

”Don’t worry, for your sake, I won’t do anything out of line.”

”I still want to look after you my whole life!”

Su Jinxuan smiled, his face full of seriousness.

Su Mianmian, of course, knew why he said that. He was worried about leaving her alone in this world; if she encountered any hardships or difficulties in the future, and there was no one to help her, she would truly be all alone.

Su Jinxuan loved her like this. Thinking of this, Su Mianmian couldn’t help but feel touched.

”Big Brother, I will definitely find you a good wife in the future.”

”Then she and I will love you together.”

”But then, you won’t stop loving me just because you love her, right?”

Su Mianmian looked at Su Jinxuan with an amused expression, thinking of stories she used to read in novels where once a brother had a wife, he no longer doted on his sister.

Su Jinxuan looked at Su Mianmian’s puzzled expression, he froze for a moment, and when he realized what she had just said, he couldn’t help but reach out and tap her head.

”Mianmian, what are you saying?”

”How could I forget my sister just because I have a wife?”

”Are you saying that now that you have Shi Xu, you’ve forgotten about me, your brother?”

Su Jinxuan looked at Su Mianmian teasingly, smiling faintly.

Su Mianmian instinctively wanted to retort, but when she looked up and saw Su Jinxuan’s smiling face, she knew she had just been played.

She reached out and slapped his shoulder, saying with annoyance, ”Big Brother, why do you always like to tease me?”

Su Jinxuan smiled, as if saying, ’If not her, then who?’

The two continued to chat for a bit, then each went their separate ways to rest.

Su Jinxuan said that Wu Yao wanted to see her tomorrow. Although Su Mianmian didn’t understand why he wanted to see her, she still nodded and agreed.
