Chu Tang had left behind the two cheques before leaving. Shi Sheng picked up the cheque. 'Did I keep him for free for a day? It seems like I've made a profit!'

Shi Sheng hadn't really planned on keeping Chu Tang. With his assets, even if she went broke she might not be able to keep him. Of course, that didn't stop her from expressing her disdain for him going back on his word.

In order to - as System put it - pretend to like him, Shi Sheng would send him texts expressing her 'concern' at fixed intervals. Most of the time Chu Tang wouldn't reply though if he really couldn't take it anymore, he would generously give her a reply consisting of a few words.

-Don't court death.

You saw correctly, just these three words.

Xu Chengyue's father broke off any contracts the company was working on with the Nangong family. Perhaps the Nangong family was seeking to compensate them for they didn't say much, they didn't even pursue any damages.

Without Xu Chengyue courting death all the time, Nangong Jing had no reason to act against the Xu family hence Shi Sheng was relatively at ease. Though she wasn't planning on letting Nangong Jing off anyways.

Once Xu Chengyue's mother had resolved the issue at the company, she hurriedly made her grand return. Her mother was a strong woman though in front of her father, she immediately turned into a good wife and mother and wouldn't reveal the slightest hint of domineeringness.

Shi Sheng really enjoyed her time together with them. 'This is what a family should feel like...'

However, her mother had the same opinion as her father in that she supported Shi Sheng keeping Chu Tang. Shi Sheng felt exhausted inwardly. 'With our family's current wealth, there's no way I could keep Chu Tang ah!'

Later, she discovered that her parents seemed to be on stimulants as they raked in money like there was no tomorrow. Her father was actually quite talented, it was just that he usually didn't focus as much on work and more on his family since his only wish was for their family to be safe and well.

Yet now for the sake of letting their baby girl keep a man, these two were going all out.

If it hadn't been for Xu Chengyue distracting them from work with her depression, perhaps the Xu family wouldn't have fallen; or at least not as badly.

And so, the people of the upper-class discovered that the Xu family company seemed to have been shot full of chicken blood as of late; they were making so much money, everyone in the company was grinning from ear to ear.

......

Xu Chengyue was in her third year of University. Since school had re-opened, Shi Sheng could only pack up and move to the school campus. Fortunately, Xu Chengyue had been very low-key; probably nine out of ten people there wouldn't recognise her so she wouldn't have to deal with being surrounded and watched.

Though, perhaps it was wrong to say she was low-key. It was more that only those on the same social standing as her knew her. There might not be anyone in her class who even knew she existed.

"Looks like the 'great' Miss Xu has decided to come to school. I'd thought that you'd be turtling at home right now."

Shi Sheng was intercepted just as she entered the school gates. She looked at the person who was blocking her way and a name popped up in her mind: Xiao Wei.

This person had an even worse ending in the original storyline. Being both antagonists, Shi Sheng silently lit up a line of candles for her as she decided not to argue with her. After all, why should women make things harder for another woman? 'I'm just that great! ...yeah right!'
