After the male protagonist in the book disappeared, he was saved by an innocent and cute girl called Liu Lan. Liu Lan's kindness and bravery moved the male protagonist, so after his injuries healed, the male protagonist brought Liu Lan back. He wanted to divorce Yuan Shu and promised to compensate her.
However, in the book, Yuan Shu refused. In order to ruin the relationship between the male protagonist and Liu Lan, she used all sorts of dirty methods. In the end, she was despised by everyone, and her family was destroyed.
Yuan Shu was shocked that she had actually entered a book and knew the plot.
However…
All of this had nothing to do with her!
Her husband fell in love with someone else and wanted a divorce? What did this have to do with her? She didn't want to be a roadblock on the path of others pursuing love. If that Shi Xiao wanted a divorce, so be it. She should read more books now and integrate into this world as soon as possible to find a way out for herself.
Her life had never been decided by others!
Just like that, other than eating, washing up, and sleeping, Yuan Shu spent the rest of the time reading in her room. From history and politics to business management, she was fascinated by all the information in the books. Yuan Shu was like a tree, doing her best to absorb nutrition to enrich herself.
A week passed in the blink of an eye. Shi Bin finally couldn't sit still anymore.
Another morning, when Yuan Shu was about to return to her room after breakfast, Shi Bin stopped her.
"What have you been doing all this time? You rarely leave your room or the house. Are you going to shut yourself in your room?"
Yuan Shu blinked in confusion. "I've been reading. Isn't it good to be at home? I can drink tea under the air conditioner. Why would I go out when it's so hot outside?"
Shi Bin was speechless. Just as he was about to retort, the phone in the living room rang.
The maid picked it up. After a while, she carefully handed the phone to Yuan Shu.
"Madam, it's a call from the Tan family. They said that they need you to answer it."
"Tan Family? Tan Zhao?" Yuan Shu thought about it for a while. Tan Zhao was the only person she knew from the Tan family.
"Damn it! Did that fool Tan Zhao really complain to his parents? What a loser!" Shi Bin was a little speechless. He had never looked for his parents after fighting ever since the third grade. He didn't expect Tan Zhao to be such a sore loser.
Shi Bin snatched the phone over and said into the receiver, "Tan Zhao, is this all you've got? You tattletaled to your parents after you lost in a fight?"
The person on the other end of the phone wasn't Tan Zhao, but his second oldest brother, Tan Jing.
"Fourth Master? Please hand the phone to Madam," Tan Jing said coldly.
How could Shi Bin give the phone to Yuan Shu? It was his fault. Yuan Shu had already helped him clean up the mess once. How could he let Yuan Shu clean up his mess again and again?!
Shi Bin took the phone closer and suppressed his anger as he said, "Just look for me. It was Tan Zhao who spouted nonsense first and slandered my brother. Now, you only need to tell me if he's crippled or hospitalized. We'll pay the medical fees that should be compensated. There's no need to trouble my sister-in-law with such a small matter."
Before Shi Bin could hear Tan Jing's reply, the phone was taken away by Yuan Shu.
"Second Young Master Tan." Yuan Shu took the phone and said, "Why are you looking for me?"
As Shi Bin looked at Yuan Shu, who was holding the phone, he didn't know what to say.
He was originally worried that Yuan Shu would show fear in front of Tan Jing and be at a loss, which would embarrass the Shi family, so he wanted to take responsibility. But in the end?
Why was Yuan Shu even bolder than him?
She had beaten up the young master of the Tan family. Now that he was questioning her, she actually asked him why he was looking for her?
The person on the other end of the phone didn't expect Yuan Shu to be so arrogant. He paused for a moment before saying again, "Madam, I'm Tan Zhao's second brother. May I ask if you were the one who beat up my brother?"
"She didn't hit me! I fell down myself. I didn't want to get up, so I rolled on the ground!" Tan Zhao's voice came from the receiver.
"Shut up!" Tan Jing didn't believe Tan Zhao's obvious lie.
After he returned from a business trip, he saw Tan Zhao limping. Only then did he find out that Tan Zhao had been beaten.
Due to his concern for his younger brother, he asked his secretary who stayed behind. He found out that Tan Zhao and Shi Bin fought, then got sent to the police station and returned to the Shi family's house with Shi Bin after that. When Tan Zhao returned, his body was swollen from the beating.
