Chapter 333: Robbed

“Wanwan, you know nothing…” Su Mushi was remorseful. He did not know who to hate and felt bitter. In the end, he only murmured, “You don’t know anything…”

Su Ruowan had no idea that he regretted not taking up the role in “The Smiling Nation” and that he hated himself for not sticking to his guts and instead listened to his parents. He also hated them for meddling in his affairs.

He hated and feared that after the broadcast of “The Smiling Nation” was over and the final ratings came out, their family’s gaming platform would have to pay out a huge amount of money. They might even have to sell half of the Su family’s assets to pay out the bets.

If his dad found out, he would definitely kill him!

The TV was smashed and the living room was in a mess. There was also a blackout from the short-circuit.

Su Ruowan found the first aid kit, turned on the flashlight from her cell phone, and treated his wound. She asked him worriedly, “Third Brother, does it hurt?”

Su Mushi looked at her and shook his head. “No.”

He could no longer feel anything because regret, anger, resentment, and fear occupied every cell of his body.

At the start, if he had not listened to his parents and did not reject “The Smiling Nation”, all the glory now would have belonged to him.

If he had not listened to his parents, thinking that “The Smiling Nation” would surely be a flop, he would not have been so arrogant and indignant to set up a bet, then he would not have lost so much money all at once.

However, there were no what-ifs in this world. Even if he regretted his guts or killed himself, it would not change the outcome.

He hated himself for not persisting. He hated his parents for stopping him. He really liked the script at that time. If they had not said that “The Smiling Nation” was a bad show, he would not have given up.

“Third Brother, don’t be sad… You’ll definitely be the male lead for the next show written by scriptwriter Yun Qi. Did she not like you a lot? You’re the first one she asked!” Su Ruowan comforted him. “Don’t worry. Since she’s popular now, she’ll surely pave the way for you.”

When Su Mushi heard her words, a hint of hope flashed across his eyes. It was as if he was drowning and he suddenly caught onto a lifebuoy. He looked at Su Ruowan and said in an anxious voice, desperate to get someone’s affirmation. “Really? Do you really think that I’ll be in her next drama?”

He was so blinded by jealousy and regret that he forgot that he was the first person Yun Qi had approached, which meant that Yun Qi must have liked him a lot. Otherwise, why would she ask him first? Yun Qi might even be his fan!

“Definitely,” Su Ruowan looked at him seriously and nodded incessantly. “Otherwise, why didn’t Yun Qi look for someone else when you didn’t accept the role? She only found a newcomer, so it meant that you were her first choice for the male lead role.”

The entertainment industry was huge with so many actors. It was not a coincidence that Yun Qi handed him the script, so she must be interested in him.

However, it was also possible that Yun Qi would hate him and never use him again since he had rejected her script. After all, Yun Qi was now the most popular scriptwriter in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Su Ruowan heard that after the ratings of “The Smiling Nation” went up, some big-name actors and actresses in the entertainment industry even lowered their prices and reached out to Yun Qi, wanting to work with her.

Su Mushi felt a glimmer of hope. He felt much better and did not hate “The Smiling Nation” or Yun Qi that much. Su Ruowan suddenly let out a muffled grunt, so he anxiously pulled her hand to find that it was bloody. “Wanwan, you’re injured.”

She jerked her hand and shook her head. “No, I’m fine.”

Su Mushi took her hand and saw some broken glass in her bleeding palm. He felt heartbroken. “Why didn’t you say anything when you were hurt?”

Su Ruowan bit her lips. Her eyes watered as she nervously tried to pull her hand back. “Third Brother, I’m fine. You’re the most important person to me.”

He heard this and felt his heart skip a beat. There were traces of lust in his eyes and his gaze at that moment became impure.

She could feel his heavy breathing and the sickening desire in his eyes. She sneered in her heart, but she tilted her head and looked at him innocently. “Third Brother, what’s wrong?”

Su Ruowan knew that no one could resist her charm. She would make Su Yi and Su Mushi her puppets.

“Nothing,” Su Mushi let go of her hand and moved with panic to get the disinfectant. ‘How can I have such thoughts about my sister?’

Wanwan grew up with him. He loved and spoiled her, so how could he have such lecherous thoughts about her? He was simply a beast.

Su Ruowan knew that Su Mushi’s mind was in a mess, so she tested him again. When she sat down, she “accidentally” tripped and fell into his arms.

Su Mushi only felt the softness and warmth of such an attractive person in his arms. His Adam’s apple moved and the desire in his eyes deepened. His hand that clasped her waist unconsciously tightened.

“Is there no one at home?” The living room door opened, and Li Jingran’s voice rang out in the dark.

Su Mushi suddenly snapped from his trance and pushed Su Ruowan away. He breathed heavily and watched as she fell on the sofa. He then asked worriedly, “Wanwan, are you okay?”

Su Ruowan looked at him with an innocent and lost face, as if she did not know why he suddenly pushed her away.

Su Mushi was seduced by her innocent look and felt ashamed. He was struggling on the fine line of morality and quickly averted his gaze.

‘No, I can’t! Wanwan is my sister! I can’t have such thoughts about her!’

“Honey, why is the light broken?” Li Jingran asked. She looked in the direction of the coffee table that had a flashlight and squinted her eyes. “Wanwan? Shi? What happened?”

Su Yi turned on the flashlight from his phone and saw the messy house like they had been robbed with things shattered everywhere. His face turned glum.

Seeing the scene in front of her, Li Jingran ran over in a panic. “Are you hurt? Are you two injured?”

‘Were they robbed?!’

Su Ruowan stood up and lied for Su Mushi. “Mom, someone broke into the house, and Third Brother chased them away.”

When Li Jingran heard that, her face turned pale with fear, and hurriedly went to check on her son’s injuries.

Su Yi sneered and looked at Su Mushi. He then asked in a stern voice, “Shi, did someone really break in?”

If they were robbed, why did they not call the police?

The security guards they hired did not have any reaction when they came home either.
