CHAPTER 676: CHAPTER 655: THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MY SISTER-IN-LAW

Actually, Shi Mei did not tell her parents about Shi Keke smoking.

He simply used another method to make Shi Keke believe that her parents already knew about her smoking so that she would restrain herself.

Therefore, when Shi Keke’s pocket money was reduced, she thought her smoking had been exposed and naturally associated it with Shi Mei blackmailing her over her smoking.

That’s why those words were exchanged just now.

All that talk about disliking her, targeting her everywhere, making her have no money to spend, and the like...

"You smoke?"

Hearing her words, Shi Yu’s gaze turned cold, and his eyes narrowed dangerously at Shi Keke.

"She didn’t smoke, I did,"

Shen Cheng interrupted before Shi Keke could speak, as she had specifically asked someone to show her the Shi Family’s rules yesterday, and she saw one that stated: men of the Shi Family must not engage in debauchery, women must not smoke.

If violated, the family rules will be enforced!

As for these family rules, they are somewhat too cruel...

Anyone who breaches the family rules must kneel on broken glass for three hours.

Mr. Shi has immense prestige in Du City, and naturally at home as well. Everyone in the Shi Family fears him. It is not just about breaking the rules; even speaking in front of him requires extreme care to avoid any mistakes.

It is said that when Mr. Shi first heard of Shi Yaoguang and Ye Jin’s affair, he flew into a rage, not only subjecting Shi Yaoguang to the family discipline but also altering the will’s property distribution and weakening Shi Yaoguang’s power.

Shen Cheng may not have seen Mr. Shi, but from his way of doing things, she has concluded that he is a ruthless and decisive person.

If Mr. Shi finds out about Shi Keke smoking, the consequences would be unimaginable.

But she is different.

Although she married into the Shi Family, her surname is Shen, not Shi, so even if she smokes herself to death, no one will care about her.

As for the family law, it has nothing to do with her.

And most importantly, the reason she said the cigarette was hers was that only she and Shi Mei were present when Shi Keke was smoking.

As long as Shi Keke does not admit it, the truth of the matter cannot be found.

Moreover, based on her understanding of Shi Mei, she believes that Shi Mei will definitely keep Shi Keke’s smoking a secret and not expose it.

Shi Yu’s originally icy gaze turned even more insidiously fierce with Shen Cheng’s words: "She didn’t smoke, I did."

He inched closer to her, his smile flickering at the corners of his mouth; although smiling, it held not a trace of warmth.

He slowly parted his lips, articulating each word: "If this matter is not explained clearly, these photos will become the background on my phone."

After finishing that sentence, he reached out with a long arm and snatched the phone from Shi Mei’s hand.

His slender fingers glided across the screen, entering an unknown sequence of numbers, and he unlocked the screen lock.

He sent those photos to his phone via text message, then deleted them from Shi Keke’s phone.

Shen Cheng: "..."

A scheming man!

Seeing that he deleted the photos from her phone, Shi Keke did not mind but said, "This has nothing to do with my sister-in-law; let me explain."

From a young age, Shi Keke has always been independent and self-reliant, whether in dealing with people and matters or in life, she has her own set of principles.

In her view, since she smoked and made the mistake, she should bear the consequences.

At worst, it’s just kneeling on glass shards for three hours; it wouldn’t kill her.

What’s there to be afraid of.
