Chapter 17: This Man Is Very Excellent

It rang twice on the other end, then was hung up.

Li Xuan felt anxious and uneasy.

Perhaps Shen Lan was busy; she could only comfort herself with this thought.

After all, this man was excellent and was a County Magistrate; it was only natural that he was busier than other men.

Once Shen Lan became County Magistrate, he would surely divorce Si Rong according to their original agreement and marry her.

The office.

Shen Lan leaned halfway against the soft sofa chair and lit a cigarette.

Ever since he promised Si Rong to quit smoking, he had actually not smoked for a long time.

However, he had been under great pressure lately, and the guy competing with him for the County Magistrate position kept suppressing him.

Working against him both openly and secretly.

At home, his mother only wanted to use him to find a good match for his younger sister.

Li Xuan kept pressuring him with the agreement from back then.

It seemed only Si Rong considered him in everything and helped him.

He had hung up on Li Xuan's call just now on purpose.

For some reason, at a time like this, he only wanted to hear Si Rong's voice.

No matter when it was, she was always waiting at home, with him in her eyes and heart.

Thinking of this, Shen Lan's heart stirred slightly.

He dialed a call home.

After it rang several times, Wang Ma answered.

"Where is Rongrong?" Shen Lan asked anxiously.

"The Madam went out this morning and hasn't returned yet."

Shen Lan frowned; that's right, Rongrong must have gone to get busy with the dance studio.

Thinking that Rongrong was so busy and yet his mother and younger sister still made her angry, Shen Lan had Wang Ma call Shen Yun over.

"Brother, what is it?"

Shen Yun yawned; her daily routine was not regular anyway, she just slept when tired and ate when hungry.

"Let me tell you, your sister-in-law is busy during this time; if there's nothing else, you might as well go back to the hometown with Mom!"

Actually, there was another point Shen Lan didn't want to admit to himself: his mother and younger sister only made him feel embarrassed here.

Whether someone has seen the world can be told from their temperament.

Compared to the Si Family, his mother and younger sister seemed too rustic, with the aura of country folk all over them.

Going back to the countryside would be better.

"No! Brother, what do you mean? Did Si Rong say something to you?"

Having finally met a suitor who was to her liking, how could Shen Yun leave easily?

"I know, she must be jealous that the one on a blind date with Jun Wei is me."

Shen Yun said with great certainty and hurriedly tattled, "By the way, Brother, the day I went on a blind date with Jun Wei, Si Rong she..."

"Call her sister-in-law!" Shen Lan pinched his brow and emphasized.

"I remember that day, Jun Wei mistook my sister-in-law for his blind date; Brother, you tell me, could my sister-in-law have some improper thoughts about Jun Wei?"

Shen Lan:...

With him around, it was impossible for Si Rong to fall in love with another man in this lifetime.

"If you talk nonsense again, get out immediately! If you don't want to leave, then behave yourself. You are not allowed to enter our room and touch your sister-in-law's things anymore. Also, the jewelry you took from your sister-in-law before, hurry back to the hometown and bring it all back to return to her!"

"Hmph! Shen Lan! You are siding with outsiders; I don't think you are my brother at all! Now, besides your wife, do you even have our family in your heart? Hmph! I'll return it, fine!"

Stingy couple!

She would just endure it for now; when she marries Jun Wei later, she would make Jun Wei buy them for her!

Thinking of Jun Wei's handsome face, Shen Yun thought she still needed Si Rong to help her connect with him more.

Last time she heard the matchmaker say that the Yang Family heard she was already thirty-three years old this year and were a bit put off by her age.

If this jewelry affected her marriage with Jun Wei, it would not be worth the loss.

So that same day, Shen Yun took the bus back to the hometown and retrieved those pieces of jewelry.

As soon as Si Rong returned, she returned them all to her.

"Sister-in-law, it was all my ignorance before; please don't be like me."

Shen Yun gritted her teeth and said a soft word.

But in her heart, she thought that Si Rong, as a sister-in-law, was really nothing special!

She even wanted these few small pieces of jewelry back!

Si Rong took her jewelry and said with a flat attitude, "A sister-in-law is like a mother; I am not making things difficult for you because of these few pieces of jewelry, but mainly because I am worried you will go down the wrong path. What if you get used to stealing at home and want to steal when you go out in the future? Xiao Yun, you must be able to understand your sister-in-law's good intentions, right?"

Shen Yun's teeth were almost ground to pieces.

That cheap woman Si Rong really had a lot of nerve!

Still acting like a mother to her in front of her?

But one has to bow their head when under someone else's roof.

She had to endure the humiliation and nod, "I know, Sister-in-law, why don't you talk to the matchmaker again? I want to see Jun Wei again tomorrow."

Si Rong knew her heart was now entirely on that Yang Junwei, and she seemed to see her former self in Shen Yun.

Insisting on jumping into a fire pit.

"That is possible," Si Rong reminded her like her own elders once did, "but Xiao Yun, you are simple-minded, and marriage is a major life event, so you still need to be more careful."

"Sister-in-law, I understand," Shen Yun replied quickly, "I will definitely not tarnish my brother's reputation."

Just like that, Shen Yun went to meet with Yang Junwei again, and then the two of them quickly confirmed their romantic relationship.

One week later, Rongzi Dance Studio officially opened for business.

Originally, the opening of a small dance studio did not attract much attention on the street.

But after seeing five or six cars parked in succession at the entrance, passersby could not help but stop at the door.

"What kind of place is this dance studio? To think so many luxury cars have come!"

Two Santanas, and there was even a BMW and a Volga.

One of the older Santanas was driven there by Shen Lan to show support for Si Rong's dance studio.

He hadn't expected that both brothers-in-law would come.

And the cars they drove were so expensive.

Neither of them had mentioned it to him.

The dance studio was decorated very exquisitely, and Shen Lan knew in his heart that this must be the work of the two brothers-in-law.

The first floor was a tea room and a cloakroom.

The dance studio was upstairs.

Si Rong hadn't consulted him when renting this property, and Shen Lan suddenly felt a bit dissatisfied.

In the past, no matter what Si Rong did, she would always consult him.

The two brothers-in-law even brought friends to introduce to Si Rong; one of them was actually speaking German, and watching them interact so warmly, Shen Lan didn't even want to stay anymore.

Just as he was thinking of leaving, he saw another person walk in.

It was actually Jiang Yu!

He was also a parachuted candidate competing against him for County Magistrate, and it was rumored that he had a military background.

Could it be that he followed him here?

It was one thing to oppose him at work, but to not even let him be when he took time off was too much.

"Secretary Jiang, you are being a bit too attentive to me, aren't you? Following me even when I come to the dance studio my own wife opened—isn't that ridiculous? Do you want to be County Magistrate that badly? Why don't I just give it to you!"
