Chapter 240: The Old Hag is Truly Wicked

Li Xuan had been hiding her cough from the people in the community.

She also hadn't sought any treatment, sneaking out to the area outside the Junshuyuan every day, wanting to infect Si Rong with the virus.

It was just that this Junshuyuan was guarded far too strictly, and she hadn't found a single opportunity.

Today, she had finally managed to run into the two cubs Si Rongsheng had given birth to, and she had to seize the chance.

These two children were born to Si Rong in her old age, and could be called the apple of Si Rong's eye.

Perhaps their infection would make her even sadder than if Si Rong were infected herself.

However, Li Xuan felt that she was a person with a bottom line.

She had a grudge against Si Rong, but it had nothing to do with others.

Later, while these children were helping her look for her keys, she would have to probe which one was Si Rong's daughter; she wouldn't hurt the innocent.

Jiang Siyu subconsciously looked at her brother, only to see Jiang Sinian give them a wink, then he himself ran a few quick steps away from the old woman.

He said loudly, "I know where your keys are!"

Li Xuan:...

She had just made up an excuse; her keys hadn't been lost, hmm? Could her keys really be missing?

Li Xuan felt her pockets; the keys were still there.

How was this son of Si Rong so devilishly clever?

But as long as she could get close to him, that was fine.

"Good child, then hurry and tell Auntie where the keys are?"

Jiang Sinian pointed to a small ditch not far away, "Right there, hurry and come with me!"

After saying this, he ran ahead a few quick steps.

Li Xuan also followed quickly; this virus could be transmitted as long as the distance was slightly close, she had to keep going.

"Why is there a big carp here?" Jiang Sinian said with great surprise after approaching the ditch.

It was the dead of winter now, the ditch was frozen over, how could there be fish?

But speaking of fish, Li Xuan hadn't eaten fish for a long time; if she could catch a fish to take home and satisfy her craving today, that would be even better.

Li Xuan approached excitedly, only to see the layer of ice on the surface of the ditch.

Where did the carp come from?

Boom—

Li Xuan only felt a pain in her backside, and then she was kicked into the frozen ditch.

Her body was cold and painful, and it took her quite a while of struggling before she climbed out of the ditch.

Damn it!

How did Si Rong raise her children? They actually kicked her straight into the ditch; what if she hadn't climbed out and drowned?

It was truly too much.

Jiang Sinian laughed the whole way; he had recognized that old hag at a glance just now.

She was the mistress from his mother's previous marriage, although his mother had never told him about those things.

But from the time he was small until now, from his mother's casual chats with Auntie Ming Zi, he knew of this person, Li Xuan.

The old hag was truly wicked.

He hadn't expected that she would actually target the three of them today; she must have wanted to harm them, so he simply decided to strike first.

Originally, Jiang Sinian had just been spouting nonsense about there being fish in the ditch; he hadn't expected this wicked old woman to be so stupid.

"Serves you right!"

Jiang Siyu also knew this person; associating this with the betrayal her mother had mentioned when talking to her, she also hated this old woman in her heart.

But she was also worried that Li Xuan would drown and her brother would commit a mistake.

Fortunately, the wicked live for a thousand years; after walking a distance, Jiang Siyu saw that old woman climb out of the ditch soaking wet and leave the Junshuyuan in a sorry state.

"She wouldn't go to harm Mom, would she?" Jiang Siyu asked her brother.

A wicked smile escaped the corners of Jiang Sinian's lips, "Freezing her won't kill her! And she can't even get into the Junshuyuan right now!"

"That's good."

Jiang Siyu felt slightly more at ease.

"By the way, let's not make Mom angry during this time; Mom's eyes were uncomfortable this morning."

"I reckon she's missing Dad," Jiang Sinian said, placing his hand on his forehead to look into the distance, "It'll be fine once Dad comes back."

In the woods, the homeroom teachers organized the students to stand by class.

Their class happened to be next to Lu Fei's class.

Jiang Siyu did not look over there.

She and Jiang Yue stood together holding hands.

But she heard Yao Xiaotang calling her from a distance, "Jiang! Si! Yu!"

Jiang Siyu's attitude was cold, "What is it?"

"Nothing much, just saying hello to you."

Yao Xiaotang mainly wanted to find an excuse to take a look at Jiang Sinian behind her.

She didn't know why, but the more Jiang Sinian ignored her, the more interested she became in him.

Even though she had now basically confirmed Lu Fei's feelings for her.

When Yao Xiaotang had nothing to do, she had thoroughly looked into the Jiang Family; she hadn't expected Jiang Sinian's mother to be a daughter of the Si Family.

If she could win over Jiang Sinian, what did it matter if she left Lu Fei to Jiang Siyu?

The Lu Family was just a nouveau riche; they were simply not worth mentioning in front of the Jiang Family and the Si Family.

Besides, Lu Fei has a younger brother at home, but Jiang Sinian is the only son in the Jiang Family.

In the future, the Jiang Family's assets will all belong to Jiang Sinian.

As for Jiang Siyu, that little girl, she wasn't even in her consideration.

Just water splashed out.

"Xiaotang, do you know Jiang Siyu?" a classmate asked Yao Xiaotang.

Yao Xiaotang nodded amidst the envious gazes of her classmates.

"Wow! I think she's so cute. I heard her dad is a Commander in the military and her mom is a Dance Teacher with such an elegant temperament. With such a good family background, she doesn't seem to have any airs at all."

Hearing her classmates speak so highly of Jiang Siyu, Yao Xiaotang felt a bit uncomfortable, "Don't you think she's very fat?"

"Where is she fat? It's just a tiny bit, I think being too thin actually doesn't look good!"

Besides, it also affects development.

Yao Xiaotang:...

Is she implying something about her?

She felt that her classmates must be jealous of her to say such things; of course, girls look better when they are thin.

Getting fat makes one look as ugly as a pig.

Yao Xiaotang ignored her and looked at Jiang Sinian again, only to see Jiang Sinian lowering his head to talk to the girl who was always with the siblings.

Could that girl also like Jiang Sinian?

Soon, the teachers of each class finished handing out winter break homework, emphasized the precautions for the break, and then let the students go home.

"Where should we go to hang out?" a classmate put his arm around Jiang Sinian's shoulder and urged, "It's boring as hell at home every day."

Jiang Siyu walked a few quick steps to catch up with Jiang Yue, but unexpectedly, as soon as she left the small woods, she saw Lu Fei and a middle-aged woman wearing a purplish-red cotton-padded jacket.

She was just about to walk faster when she saw that woman smiling and calling out to stop her.

"Siyu, your name is Siyu, right?"

Jiang Siyu nodded in astonishment, "Auntie, my name is Jiang Siyu."

"Hmm, you've grown so big? Your mother is Si Rong, and your father is Jiang Cheng, right?"

Jiang Siyu nodded.

"I am Lu Fei's mother, and I was a schoolmate of your mother. Back then, your mother even chose the name for my Lu Fei!"

Jiang Siyu was truly shocked this time; is the world really this small?

But deep down, she couldn't help but feel a sense of sweetness at the subtle connection between herself and Lu Fei.

"Come to my house to find Lu Fei and play when you have time!"

Sun Chanjuan said very enthusiastically.

But Lu Fei remained silent, so Jiang Siyu only said goodbye indifferently, "Goodbye, Auntie."
