Chapter 230: Mom and Dad Are Showing Off Their Affection Again

Si Rong:...

"Sister-in-law, didn't I tell you before to sell at the end of last month?"

Moreover, this call was made to her by her sister-in-law, not her eldest brother.

Something between her and her eldest brother seemed to have gradually changed.

"Yes, you did say that, but didn't your eldest brother and I buy in late? We earned quite a bit less than your second brother, so we thought about holding onto it for a while longer. Who could have guessed it would drop so fast!"

Li Meiling was now filled with regret; if she had known it would come to this, she definitely would have sold it yesterday.

However, it was too late for regrets now.

Si Rong:...

She said coldly, "Sister-in-law, there is nothing I can do."

When there was a way to make money like this, she thought of her maiden family and repeatedly emphasized that they must sell by the end of the month, yet her sister-in-law and eldest brother caused themselves to lose money due to momentary greed.

What could she possibly do now that she was being told this?

Li Meiling did not expect her younger sister-in-law to have such a cold attitude, "Little sister, a full eight hundred thousand, it's all been dumped in. Can you ask the expert behind you to see if there is any way to bring it back to life?"

"Sister-in-law, even the most brilliant expert is helpless when encountering someone who doesn't listen. I have things to do, so I'm hanging up first."

Li Meiling's body went limp.

How could her little sister-in-law not care? If it weren't for her, how would she have lost money?

At this moment, Shen Chi was feeling equally frustrated.

How could this be?

Almost overnight, he had lost all of Lin Meixi's money.

He estimated that if Lin Meixi found out, she would definitely not let him off easily.

Feeling disheartened, Shen Chi looked at Kong Lingdong, who was locked in the storage room.

He looked at the child sleeping soundly on the bed, then looked at Kong Lingdong.

He had to admit, there was some resemblance.

Taking advantage of the time Lin Meixi went out to buy groceries, Shen Chi chatted with him, "Have you slept with my wife?"

Kong Lingdong:...

Brother, do I dare say it, and do you dare hear it?

But now that he had fallen into this state, Kong Lingdong had no choice but to shake his head.

"I don't believe it."

Shen Chi wasn't that stupid; Lin Meixi was a woman living in the Kong Family, were the father and son of the Kong Family running a charity?

"Actually, I don't care whether you slept with her or not, I only ask one thing: who exactly is Kong Nuo?"

Kong Lingdong:...

This question was too complicated, and the key was that it wasn't necessarily his.

"Yours."

He insisted firmly.

In the end, it was the seed of his Kong Family; now, only by acknowledging a thief as his father could he grow up safely.

"You can take the child for a paternity test," Kong Lingdong added.

The doubts in Shen Chi's heart dissipated a little; it seemed Nuonuo was indeed his own biological son.

Why do a paternity test? If he had money, he would still be playing the stock market!

"Buddy, lend me some money to spend!" Shen Chi said again.

Kong Lingdong:...

He was truly speechless and didn't know what to say; it was also his first time seeing someone ask a stroke patient for money so righteously.

However, he still pushed his wheelchair back to the room and got a few hundred yuan for Shen Chi.

"Add a chicken leg for me at noon."

Shen Chi:...

"Leave it to me."

He suddenly felt that it was quite good for his wife to have one more husband.

After all, there is strength in numbers.

At noon, Shen Chi was as good as his word; while he went out to buy cigarettes and alcohol to enjoy himself, he didn't forget to bring back a chicken leg for Kong Lingdong.

"Do you want to eat a roasted chicken leg?" Ming Zi asked Si Rong.

They were strolling through a newly opened commercial street in Huaiyang.

The aroma of a Korean-style roasted chicken leg from a shop by the roadside was mouth-watering.

"I'll eat."

The two of them each took a chicken leg and ate.

"Isn't he tired?" Si Rong asked Ming Zi after swallowing a small piece of chicken skin.

Ever since the two of them started shopping, Xue Ming had been following them at a distance, neither too close nor too far.

"He has stamina," Ming Zi said.

Si Rong:...!!!

Sisters, there's a situation, something's not right.

"Confess honestly," she quickly finished the chicken leg and questioned, "How do you know he has stamina?"

"Girlfriend, you've also reached the age of being as fierce as a tiger," Ming Zi played with the ends of Si Rong's hair, "Of course it's because I've used him, so I know."

"Tell me quickly!" Si Rong was very excited.

These two have been entangled for so many years; even if they aren't in a rush, Si Rong has started to feel anxious for them.

"It's just that, this guy is incredibly stubborn!" Ming Zi sighed, "Even after I clearly told him I wouldn't remarry, he didn't give up. He won over my son step by step, then my family, and now even my granddaughter calls him Grandpa."

Si Rong:...

"Truly, where there is a will, there is a way!"

Si Rong looked back at Xue Ming with satisfaction, "Then why is he following you like this?"

Like a dog.

"He says there are many robberies in the city now, and he's worried about me shopping alone."

Si Rong:...

So, is she not a person?

This sickeningly sweet twilight romance.

"Actually, I think Xue Ming is quite good," she advised Ming Zi, "Besides, who says a grandmother can't get married? Love has nothing to do with age."

After saying this, she laughed first.

"Your life has been quite fulfilling too. When you were young and vain, you latched onto a wealthy man; when you reached your prime, you happened to become a widow; and now that you're old and need a companion, you're marrying for love. I think you've lived out the brilliance of us women!"

Ming Zi:...

"Sister, you're quite brilliant too—getting married when you should, divorcing when you should, and remarrying when you should!"

Si Rong:...

She shot her a glare, "Alright, stop the mutual damage! When do you plan to give Regimental Commander Xue a title? He can't just be a nominal grandfather in your house forever, right?"

"Fine, I'll consider it some more and see when it's appropriate to bring a grandpa home for my granddaughter!"

"Does Xue Ming have any other family?" Si Rong asked again.

Ming Zi shook her head, "He's had a hard life; his parents both died when he was young, and he was raised by his uncle."

"No attachments, perfect for marrying into the family," Si Rong said.

Ming Zi married Xue Ming in early winter.

The two didn't hold a big ceremony; just some relatives and friends sat together for a meal, simple and warm.

When Si Rong waved goodbye to her good friend this time, she no longer saw her lonely figure and felt very moved.

She was sitting in the passenger seat and took Jiang Cheng's hand when his right hand gripped the gear stick.

Just as she was feeling sentimental about how couples who are young together grow old together, she saw Jiang Cheng glance at the two children in the back seat through the rearview mirror.

Then he whispered to Si Rong, "Do you want one?"

This was usually a code word for when they were doing the deed.

Si Rong:...

"Want your head! I just wanted to call you my old companion."

Jiang Cheng:...

A wasted moment of excitement.

"In my heart, you are always eighteen," Jiang Cheng said sweetly; after all, he had taken remedial classes in County Magistrate Jiang's small classroom.

A woman can say she is old, but as a husband, it is best not to agree.

"Brother! Look! Mom and Dad are showing off their affection again!" In the back seat, Jiang Siyu covered her eyes with her chubby little hands, while simultaneously keeping a gap between her fingers to keep watching.

Jiang Sinian was already used to the way his parents interacted—for instance, they would always walk in front holding hands, their subconscious first reaction upon eating delicious fruit was to feed it to the other, all while automatically ignoring that they had two big chubby children.

Forget it, Jiang Sinian was already tired of saying the phrase that Mom and Dad are true love and they are the accident.
