Chapter 10: Finding a Match for the Little Sister

Her face was calm and composed, but no one knew that her heart was already a raging sea.

She did not even know when Sun Qiang had left.

It was not until Ming Zi beside her suddenly stood up that Si Rong came back to her senses and grabbed her arm.

"I'm going to go slap that bitch to death!" Ming Zi said.

"Don't be impulsive," Si Rong grabbed her, "I want them to regret everything they have done and live in pain forever."

These two people deceived her; just slapping them a few times would be letting them off too easily.

Ming Zi blinked, then sat back down beside Si Rong.

"What do you want to do?"

The once naive little princess had finally grown up after being pushed by those two filthy things.

"First, stay put, and then..."

Si Rong would not divorce now.

If she divorced now, it would be equivalent to fulfilling the wishes of that pair of scumbags.

She had to find a suitable opportunity to take revenge.

Since Shen Lan was determined to climb to the top, then she would let him fall completely to the bottom of the valley.

Since Li Xuan wanted to be the focus of everyone's eyes and a high-and-mighty existence, then she would let her sink deep into the mire.

If not for her, these two should have ended up like that anyway.

Even Shen Lan, when drunk, would mention that he looked down on himself for having once been just a small Section Chief, and felt it was a pity.

But if not for the Si Family, how would the position of Section Chief have fallen to a greenhorn who had just stepped out of school?

As for Li Xuan, if not for her back then, how could she have escaped the entanglement of her original family, and how could she have become a high school teacher in the spotlight today?

After composing her mood, Si Rong went home.

Shen Mu was already over sixty years old this year, with a mean-looking face.

One could tell from her first words that she was very dissatisfied with her not coming home for the past two days.

"I wondered who it was. Why are you only back now? Which daughter-in-law doesn't come home every day?"

Shen Yun, who was beside her, had an attitude identical to her mother's, "My sister-in-law isn't an ordinary daughter-in-law; she's a capitalist's daughter, used to doing whatever she wants. How could she ever take us seriously?"

Si Rong lowered her eyes to change into her slippers, hiding the disdain in her gaze before raising her face with a smile, "Mom, little sister, it was my poor hospitality this time. Let me tell you a piece of good news to make up for my mistakes!"

Shen Mu was naturally curious about this good news.

Although this daughter-in-law of hers could not give birth and was delicate, she was always willing to give them anything good.

"What good news?" Shen Yun asked impatiently.

"I found an excellent blind date for little sister."

Si Rong had truly put a lot of effort into this in the past, and the men she picked were all excellent in every aspect.

It was just that their looks were not outstanding.

They were a perfect match for Shen Yun.

In the future, with Shen Lan as a County Magistrate brother, she would naturally be able to live a simple and prosperous life.

Unfortunately, Shen Yun never looked favorably upon the suitable men she carefully selected.

She despised them for being fat and ugly.

Since she was so lacking in self-awareness, she would find her a handsome one and see if she could live a good life.

"It wouldn't be as ugly as the last man, would it?"

Shen Yun immediately said with a look of disgust.

"That's right, you are the sister-in-law, put some heart into it, don't just introduce some rejects to my Xiao Yun!" After her son started living a good life, this youngest daughter was now her biggest worry.

"Don't worry, little sister will definitely like this man, but he is only a small Section Chief, not as well-connected as the previous ones."

Shen Yun did not take this to heart, "What's wrong with being a small Section Chief? Sister-in-law, don't be so snobbish. Wasn't my brother just a small Section Chief back then? Now he's about to become a County Magistrate!"

When the time comes, if she really likes that man, can't she just have her brother promote him?

"Then I will arrange for you to meet tomorrow."

Si Rong took out her phone book and made a call.

After a while, Shen Yuan returned.

The first thing she said upon seeing her was about the concert tickets.

Upon learning that Si Rong had not yet bought the tickets for her, she was very angry, "Mom! How can you go back on your word? I've already promised my classmates!"

She had promised that she would treat them to Aaron Kwok's concert tickets; who in the class didn't look up to her now?

And yet her mother pulled this stunt?

If she couldn't treat her friends to the concert, how embarrassing would that be!

"Mom asked for you, but your second uncle is on a business trip out of town and doesn't have time. Let's wait for next time!"

Si Rong was not lying; her second brother was indeed on a business trip out of town during this period.

But she didn't really intend to buy the concert tickets for Shen Yuan.

Otherwise, if she made a call, her second brother would help her buy them no matter how busy he was.

It was just that she thought about how the two children she and Shen Lan adopted were indeed just like what was said on the phone that day—behaving like ingrates.

Not towards her, but towards her own family.

Thinking back, it was almost entirely one-sided taking from the Si Family, yet they had never shown the slightest bit of concern for their maternal grandparents or two uncles.

In the past, she only thought they were children, but now, from their attitude towards her own family, she could roughly predict how they would treat her in her old age.

As for not keeping her promise, Shen Lan's betrayal made her feel that some promises were meant to be broken.

"When is next time?" Shen Yuan glared at her fiercely, as if she were glaring at an enemy.

"I don't know," Si Rong said airily.

Shen Yuan only felt she was being brushed off, and immediately began to cry bitterly.

"Alright, alright," Shen Mu said, pulling her granddaughter into her arms, "Si Rong, you too! If the child wants something, just buy it for her; why make the child cry in the middle of the night?"

"Mom, I can't buy that thing. If you want to buy it, you buy it for her!"

Si Rong said, somewhat speechless.

She only wanted to return to her bedroom to have some peace and quiet.

"I'll buy it then!" Shen Mu said in a loud, clear voice.

Si Rong sneered silently, and when she glanced back at the grandmother and granddaughter embracing, she suddenly felt that Shen Yuan's features looked very much like Shen Mu's.

A thought suddenly leaped up in the depths of her heart like a flame.

Back in her room, Si Rong felt that her own idea was too shocking.

Shen Lan had clearly said those two children were adopted from the Fuliyuan.

Their backgrounds were miserable.

Si Rong leaned against the headboard and suddenly laughed, laughing at herself for being so incredibly foolish that she still believed Shen Lan's words even now?

Good heavens, what kind of man had she been sleeping next to all these years?

He had deceived her for so many years; even wolves, tigers, and leopards could not be as vicious as him.

Too much time had passed, and she no longer remembered the details of the two children's origins; now it seemed there was something highly suspicious about it.

In the past, everyone said Shen Lan loved her and that she was lucky, and even she herself had believed it.

Footsteps came from outside the door, and then the door was pushed open; Shen Lan had returned from work.
