Chapter 224: How do you plan to deal with Si Rong?

He had very long hair, carried a woven bag in his hand, and stood alone at the street corner.

It was unknown how long he had been watching her.

Such a gaze felt sinister, and almost instantly, it made a layer of cold sweat break out on Si Rong's back.

Shen Chi stepped toward her.

Just at this moment, Jiang Cheng gripped Si Rong's hand tightly; with him there, Si Rong felt much more at ease.

Perhaps because he saw Jiang Cheng, Shen Chi turned and left.

"Don't be afraid. I will arrange for some people to protect you and the children, and I will also keep an eye on him."

This time, Jiang Cheng would absolutely not let his wife and children be put in danger again.

"Mm." Si Rong gripped Jiang Cheng's arm, feeling a bit more settled in her heart.

It was not that she did not feel a sense of sorrow; she had not done any great evil in the first half of her life, yet she had been targeted by these few vipers of the Shen family for half a lifetime.

She viciously hoped that these vipers would all die, so that no one would threaten the safety of her and her children anymore.

At the same time, Shen Chi found Li Xuan first.

Seeing her son, Li Xuan acted as if she had found her backbone, crying and complaining with snot and tears.

"My son, you have suffered. You don't know, Mom has been waiting for you outside so bitterly too!"

"Truly, the hemp rope always breaks at the thinnest point, and misfortune always finds the miserable! Mom owes a huge debt now, no one to pay it back, and no one to be filial to Mom..."

Shen Yuan:......

She crossed her arms and said coldly, "You haven't mentioned a word about the fact that you remarried four husbands and can't live without a man."

"If you had behaved yourself and not touched pyramid schemes, I don't believe you could have owed so much money?"

Li Xuan, however, did not think she was wrong; her index finger was almost poking Shen Yuan's forehead. "Your brother went to prison, and I worked myself to the bone—wasn't it all so that you two siblings could live a little better? Now you've started to resent me; I might as well just die!"

"Debts are cleared when a person dies; that wouldn't be a bad way out." Shen Yuan rolled her eyes.

No matter who died, her mother would never die; she should stop trying to scare people with that.

"You! You wicked creature!" Li Xuan was practically going to be angered to death by her words. She wanted to jump up and slap her, but remembering something, Li Xuan turned to hug Shen Chi's arm and cried, "Son, Mom can only rely on you from now on."

Shen Chi:......

His brain was a mess from the noise of this mother and daughter. He frowned, "Where is Meixi?"

Meixi?

Li Xuan remembered the matter of Lin Meixi coming to find her two days ago.

At that time, she was standing on the street, preparing to pick up work.

Lin Meixi had approached her, "Mom, Shen Chi is about to come out. Tell me, if he finds out that our child was lost by you at the Fuliyuan, will he still acknowledge you as his mother?"

Li Xuan was indeed a bit worried. Her daughter was of no use, and if her son also became estranged from her, what could she rely on in the future?

"Then what should I do?"

Lin Meixi only told her to shut up.

Therefore, Li Xuan did not dare to say much about Lin Meixi. "Sigh, after you went in, Mom was muddled all day long, unable to tell today from tomorrow. I don't know where Meixi went."

Shen Yuan:......

She knew she was just spouting nonsense.

"I know where she is. I'll take you there," Shen Yuan said.

Li Xuan shot her daughter a glare. "Don't be in such a rush, just showing off how capable you are! Your brother just got out of prison, and we haven't even had a chance to talk yet. Why are you in such a hurry to find Lin Meixi?"

She took an apple from the table to give to Shen Chi and asked impatiently, "Now that you're out, how do you plan to deal with Si Rong?"

Shen Yuan:......

She became even more determined in her thought to stay away from Li Xuan once she saved enough money. With a mother like this, perhaps she and her brother would only be able to live in prison from now on.

"We'll talk about that later; those things need to be planned carefully!"

Seeing Si Rong's happy appearance now, Shen Chi felt equally uncomfortable inside.

How had he spent these years in prison?

Those sufferings were all thanks to Si Rong.

"I want to see the child first. Is it a boy or a girl?"

What supported Shen Chi and kept him going was this child of his; the child was a new life, a hope.

It would be best if it were a son.

Only a son could empathize with a father, just like how Shen Lan had passed away, and now only he, the son, remembered him.

"Ah," Li Xuan stammered, not knowing how to say it well. "Mom doesn't know. Mom is old and muddled."

Shen Chi:......

He was speechless and said to his younger sister on the side, "Take me to find Meixi!"

Shen Yuan led Shen Chi all the way to the Junshuyuan.

Shen Chi was completely confused. Coming here reminded him of the days when his mother remarried the old Commander Kong. If he had been able to coax the old Commander Kong into investing in some businesses for him back then, would things not have turned out like this now?

However, he had been in prison, so why would Meixi still be living here?

"After you went to prison, Mom's affair with Kong Lingdong was discovered by Si Rong and other military dependents, so she remarried again. Your wife, Lin Meixi, remarried the old Commander Kong. After the old Commander Kong died, she seems to have gone with Kong Lingdong again." Shen Yuan resolved the doubts in her brother's heart at this moment with a few sentences.

Shen Chi:......

Why did it seem like he could understand every word, but hearing them put together felt so strenuous?

In a short seven years, this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were playing a game of remarriage!

"I'm leaving first."

After bringing Shen Chi over, Shen Yuan left.

Shen Chi saw Lin Meixi standing at the entrance of the Kong Family home; she was holding a child and looked as if she were waiting for him.

A child!

Shen Chi quickened his pace and saw the boy in Lin Meixi's arms; it was just as he had hoped, it really was a son!

"Shen Chi, you're back!"

Lin Meixi smiled at him gently, her eyes quickly turning red, showing eight parts grievance and two parts strength.

"I've waited for you for so long."

Shen Chi's heart softened; right now, he only wanted to hold Lin Meixi tightly, and then...

Having spent seven years in prison, he was truly pent up.

He somewhat understood what those old prison mates meant when they said that after being locked up for a long time, one would feel an urge even for an old sow.

"Is this our son?"

Shen Chi took the child from Lin Meixi's arms, feeling that the child's eyes and nose looked very much like Lin Meixi's, while the chin perhaps resembled his own.

"He's not yours!" Lin Meixi seemed angered by his question and turned away, pouting, "He's a wild dog's from the roadside! A wild donkey's!"

With her saying that, Shen Chi was certain that the son was indeed his own seed.

Well done, as expected of him, getting his wife pregnant with a boy on the very first try.

"Are you with Kong Lingdong now?" Shen Chi asked with a frown.

Men are much like dogs; as long as they have marked a woman with their scent, then no matter who else she is with, they still feel that this woman belongs to them.

That is exactly how Shen Chi felt right now.

Although Kong Lingdong was wealthier and more powerful than him, he—he was Lin Meixi's first man.

Now that he wanted a woman, he naturally had to find Lin Meixi.

"Come inside with me!"

Seeing Wang Shen, the biggest gossip in the Junshuyuan, walking toward them, Lin Meixi hurriedly called Shen Chi into the courtyard.

This Wang Shen was very detestable; back then, her former mother-in-law Li Xuan had fallen precisely because of this Wang Laopozi.
