Chapter 152: Adding Trouble for the Si Family

Si Rong did not dare to get close to this mentally unstable aunt.

She cast a cold glance at Lin Meixi, her disgust self-evident.

"Excuse me, I need to go to the restroom first."

Today was her father's birthday, and Si Rong, like her mother, did not want to make the scene too awkward.

She went to the restroom, and after coming out, she went straight to find her mother.

Her mother and her aunt Si Ying were huddled together whispering something; Si Rong only caught words like "back then" and "serves her right."

"Rongrong," Si Ying pulled her niece over and examined her prominent belly, "Auntie is telling you, stay away from that crazy aunt of yours later, and go home early after eating!"

"I know, Auntie."

Si Rong's mother felt the same way, "I'll have someone start the meal early later; I don't know what she was thinking coming here this year."

Si Rong knew her mother was referring to her aunt Si Nuan.

Since they had severed ties, there was no need for interaction; if it weren't for her father's big birthday today, her mother wouldn't have let her in the door.

Many people had come to the Si Family today; besides relatives and friends, there were also Si Rong's father's students, among whom one man driving a Cadillac was particularly eye-catching.

He was Rong Yuan, a former student of Si Rong's father.

After exchanging pleasantries with Si Rong's father, his eyes kept searching.

He only stopped when he saw Si Rong.

"Si Rong?"

The man walked over and sat down on the sofa opposite Si Rong, "Do you still remember me?"

He was wearing a brand-new suit and looked refined and polite.

Si Rong thought carefully for a long while, but she could not recall him.

A trace of disappointment appeared in the man's eyes, "You heartless little girl, have you forgotten that I used to teach you high school math problems?"

"Brother Rong Yuan?"

Prompted by him, Si Rong finally remembered that the person in front of her was Rong Yuan of the Rong Family, her father's prize student.

The Rong Family was very mysterious, with deep roots in the city, and legends about the Rong Family had always circulated in Huaiyang.

"It's me."

Rong Yuan smiled faintly, "How are you doing now? Did Deputy County Magistrate Shen not accompany you back?"

In his memory, that man was not worthy of Si Rong.

Si Rong said frankly, "I have already divorced him; this is my current husband."

She took the arm of Jiang Cheng, who had just walked over, and introduced the two to each other.

Both men had outstanding temperaments, and standing together, they felt evenly matched.

After a few words of greeting, Rong Yuan paced away.

After turning around, the expression on his face turned cold.

He had not expected that so many things would have happened to her in the years he had been abroad.

Divorced, remarried—how could the girl who used to bite her pen and struggle for half a day over math problems handle all this?

If only he could have returned sooner.

Before she remarried...

Rong Yuan leaned quietly in a deserted corner, scenes from long ago flashing through his mind.

She was so pure and flawless, like a fine piece of uncarved jade.

It was just that he had been nearly thirty at the time, and he had thought himself a pervert for suddenly feeling attracted to a young girl.

Suddenly, two voices came from the garden.

Regarding Si Rong, Rong Yuan frowned calmly, and only after the two left did he find Si Rong's husband again.

Regardless of what improper thoughts he might have had about the young girl back then, Si Rong was now a married woman and would soon be a mother.

Being alone with Si Rong would inevitably cause misunderstandings between her and her husband.

"Thank you for telling me about today's matter."

Jiang Cheng could feel this man's concern for Si Rong, but he knew how to keep his distance.

The matter was of great importance.

Jiang Cheng immediately notified the Si Family parents and the two older brothers.

Someone intended to tamper with today's luncheon; it would cause no harm to a normal person's body.

But if it were a pregnant woman, it would be dangerous.

At best, a miscarriage; at worst, it would endanger her life.

Hearing this news, Si Rong's mother broke out in a cold sweat.

Her poor daughter.

There was more than one pregnant woman at today's luncheon; there was also Si Ying's daughter-in-law, who had just married into the family last year.

"Investigate! Call the police and investigate!" Si Rong's father made the final decision.

If his birthday banquet were to be the occasion for those wicked things to take advantage of the chaos and harm his daughter, he would not be able to rest in peace even in death.

Before the police arrived, they did not leak the news, waiting to see whose fox tail would show first.

Lin Meixi sat in the corner; after many days, entering the Si Family gate again, she felt as if a lifetime had passed.

Who wouldn't covet such wealth?

Shen Chi had said that the thing a person fears most in life is perfection, especially for someone like Si Rong.

She really shouldn't have children.

If Si Rong hadn't divorced Shen Lan earlier, then everything she had would belong to Shen Chi now.

But she insists on causing such a stir at her age, so she really cannot blame anyone else.

Si Rong has servants on standby whenever she goes out, and her protective measures are so well-executed.

Ever since she became pregnant, she has rarely eaten food from outside.

But what if she returned to her maiden home? Her guard would certainly be lowered.

However, given Lin Meixi's status, it is naturally impossible for her to gain access to the Si Family's kitchen.

Today, she is merely a spectator, a witness arranged by Shen Chi to see Si Rong suffer a miscarriage.

Si Nuan is their blade.

Shen Chi understands Si Nuan's temper and mental state very well.

Moreover, all these years, Si Nuan has harbored resentment toward her older sister Si Ying and her older brother Si Fu.

She will try every possible way to cause trouble for the Si Family.

"Why hasn't the meal started yet?"

Lin Meixi asked Li Sao, feeling somewhat impatient.

"What is it? Did Miss Lin come here on an empty stomach? It isn't even noon, the time for the meal, yet."

Li Sao retorted in a tone that was neither too harsh nor too soft.

Lin Meixi's face immediately became difficult to maintain, but thinking that everyone here would soon have their expressions change drastically, she swallowed her anger.

Lowly nanny!

She held her head high and sat back down haughtily.

But before she could remain haughty for long, she heard the sound of an alarm.

Her heart gave a start; nothing could go wrong at a time like this, could it?

It shouldn't; after all, it is so secret, how could anyone know?

Lin Meixi kept comforting herself in her heart.

Unexpectedly, the public security officers rushed in very quickly and subdued Si Nuan with great speed.

Lin Meixi's face turned pale with fright, and she half-hid behind her mother.

"Let go of me! You all let go of me!"

Si Nuan stripped off her own clothes and shouted loudly that the public security officers were trying to molest her.

For a moment, the public security officers did not know how to proceed.

In a moment of carelessness, they let Si Nuan break free, and she began to run around the courtyard stark naked.

Everyone was somewhat flustered by this turn of events, and Si Fu's face turned black.

"Hurry up and catch her!"

Chen Meiling and Tian Chang exchanged a glance, and the two sisters-in-law both went to catch Si Nuan.

The men were too embarrassed to go and catch her, but they could not just let Si Nuan continue like this; it was their Si Family's reputation being lost.

"Aunt, I will go help too!" Jiang Zhi was a bit scared, but she still gathered her courage to try and help.

Si Nuan running around like this is like a wild boar; it would be bad if she bumped into Aunt's stomach.

For a time, the female guests who came to the Si Family all began to step in to help catch Si Nuan.
