Chapter 146: Green Light Shining from Above

Wang Ma tightly guarded the other side of her mistress.

Si Rong let out a laugh; coming out to watch the commotion was truly a hassle, as these two were surrounding her like an iron barrel.

Li Xuan's dance studio lobby looked much like theirs, imitating the style of Rongzi Dance Studio in every way.

Yet, the famous paintings and decorative ornaments worth collecting were nowhere to be found, replaced only by a few vases that were fake at a single glance.

In the spacious lobby, Li Xuan stood in a standoff with Shen Lan.

"I, I can explain," Li Xuan, currently aching all over from being beaten by that damned yellow-faced woman, panicked and babbled incoherently upon seeing Shen Lan suddenly led over by her daughter.

Shen Lan glared at her in a rage; this slutty, cheap woman!

He hadn't touched her for a while, and she couldn't stand the loneliness and went out to find a wild man, and now it had become common knowledge.

Right now, he only felt that his head was constantly glowing green.

"I'll beat you to death, you bitch!"

Shen Lan grabbed Li Xuan by the hair and began to punch her.

It was like pounding on a broken drum, without a shred of pity, only rage.

Li Xuan tried to resist, wrapping her arms around his waist and exerting force.

Boom—

Originally, she was just resisting helplessly under the beating, not holding out any hope, but unexpectedly, Shen Lan was thrown flat on his face by her in one go.

The crowd let out a collective "Ooh."

Ming Zi took some melon seeds out of her pocket and handed a handful each to Wang Ma and Si Rong.

She expressed her mockery of Shen Lan's combat ability, "He's too weak, isn't he? He doesn't even have as much strength as my dead ex-husband, who was hollowed out by wine and women."

If her dead ex-husband had been as stupid as Shen Lan back then, she would have taken action long ago.

"I reckon he and his wife are cut from the same cloth," Wang Ma cracked a melon seed and commented, "His strength was used up on other women; he deserves to be beaten!"

Li Xuan fought with increasing vigor and ruthlessness; for some time now, she had held many grievances against Shen Lan, all suppressed in her heart.

"So what if I cuckolded you? Isn't it because you're incompetent?"

"I'll beat you to death, you useless, stinking man! You still have the nerve to hit me? Any man I find outside is more capable than you! You're no good in bed, and you have no ability to earn money; I really don't know how you have the face to keep living!"

Had she known this man couldn't accomplish anything after leaving Si Rong, she would have been better off finding herself a good home sooner.

She wouldn't be reduced to only hooking up with married men now.

Lying on the ground, Shen Lan was devastated in both body and mind; he thought to himself that he might really be dying.

If time could turn back to a year ago, he probably wouldn't believe that he would end up in such a state today.

Shen Lan gave up resisting entirely, letting Li Jianmei ride on top of him and throw her weight around.

But just then, he suddenly caught sight of Si Rong.

She was still stunningly beautiful, standing there with a faint smile, her lower abdomen protruding—that was the child she was carrying for another man.

A surge of strength suddenly welled up from somewhere in his body; Shen Lan erupted again and tore off the pants Li Xuan had already had ripped.

Without her pants, Li Xuan instantly lost all her strength.

She slapped Shen Lan hard, "Do you still have any shame? Let me tell you, I'm not the only one losing face by being seen by men."

"You bitch, you still have the nerve to talk about face?" Shen Lan found her weak spot and tore her pants into rags.

Instantly, a riot broke out in the crowd.

The men all wanted to squeeze forward; whether someone else's wife was good-looking or not wasn't the most important thing, but since it was free to look, they might as well—seeing her was a gain.

The women, meanwhile, chased their own men away, "Don't look! Still looking? If you look again, I'll divorce you the moment we get home, you lecher!"

Shen Chi, standing diagonally across from the dance studio, felt a bit regretful seeing this scene.

This was truly an excellent opportunity.

With the crowd rioting, if someone accidentally bumped into Si Rong, then the child in her belly would just have to suffer the consequences.

"A-Chi, what are you thinking about?"

Lin Meixi held his arm, her eyes looking indifferently at the farce across the way.

She hadn't expected the Si Family to be so heartless.

Ever since they distanced themselves when the Si Family nearly met with disaster last time, the family had actually forbidden them from visiting again.

Si Ming, whom she had originally set her sights on, also had a terrible impression of her.

Now, she had no choice but to return to Shen Chi's embrace.

Because she knew that Shen Chi was a man with schemes and depth.

By following such a man, she would one day rise above the rest.

"Nothing," Shen Chi's gaze remained fixed on Si Rong; he no longer held any hope for his own stupid parents, "I was just thinking, guess whether the child in Si Rong's belly will be a boy or a girl?"

He hadn't yet thought of a foolproof plan.

A good method that could both eliminate the child in Si Rong's belly and completely clear himself of suspicion.

"Probably a girl," Lin Meixi naturally understood Shen Chi's intentions, "I heard the other day that the old lady of the Jiang Family is supposedly trying some method to turn the child in Si Rong's belly into a boy, so it must be a girl; you can rest easy!"

Shen Chi wasn't entirely at ease; people's hearts are hidden behind their skin, and since he couldn't see or touch what was behind that belly, what if Si Rong was just that lucky and gave birth to a son to compete with him for things?

Therefore, the best method was naturally to get rid of that extra child.

"Meixi, let's get married!"

A thought suddenly sprouted in Shen Chi's mind.

If Si Rong's child were gone, but Meixi gave birth to a child for him, wouldn't that child count as Si Rong's grandchild, and wouldn't that be the perfect way to soothe her desire to be a mother?

Lin Meixi was somewhat surprised.

Shen Chi held her and whispered in her ear, "I want you to give me a son."

Lin Meixi:...

In fact, her mouth dropped open in an "o" shape from surprise.

Lin Meixi had not expected Shen Chi's heart to be so big; his parents were over there fighting tooth and nail, yet he actually had the mood to propose to her.

However, Shen Chi's gaze was very earnest, so earnest that Lin Meixi could only nod, unable to refuse.

She had a feeling that if she didn't agree, Shen Chi would never propose to her again in the future.

"Meixi, I love you," Shen Chi was very satisfied with her reaction, "I can't give you anything right now, but in the future, I swear, everything I obtain will have half for you."

Lin Meixi understood.

As long as she married Shen Chi, then everything Si Rong had would be hers in the future.

"Be good, listen to me later, go and greet Si Rong, don't say anything else, and don't provoke her disgust."

Shen Chi exhorted.

This wait lasted a very long time.

Because Si Rong watched until Shen Lan and Li Xuan had beaten each other until they were bloody and mangled and could no longer get up, only then did she turn and leave with satisfaction.

Wang Ma actually didn't really want her to watch these things, "Madam is pregnant now, it would be better to see fewer of these disgusting scenes in the future."

"Wang Ma, my child will not be afraid of these."

The three of them had just intended to stop by the dance club to take a look when Lin Meixi trotted over and greeted Si Rong sweetly.

"Hello, Auntie!"
