Chapter 242: Kicked an Iron Plate

~8 min read 1,460 words

Jiang Sinian skillfully bent his waist to dodge, and a white slipper flew directly over Jiang Sinian's head, landing in the lap of Lu Fei, who was sitting upright on the sofa.

The white slipper in his lap was clearly a young girl's.

And Jiang Siyu, who was hopping down the stairs on one foot, once again confirmed this guess of Lu Fei's.

An unexpected eye-to-eye encounter.

Jiang Siyu: ……

Lu Fei: ……

Was this the gentle, cute little girl he had spoken of just moments ago?

He felt as if he were seeing Jiang Siyu in that alleyway again, along with that hoodlum who had fallen to the ground.

"You, you," Jiang Siyu, overcome with surprise and embarrassment, didn't even care about her slipper as she turned and ran back upstairs.

Jiang Sinian was truly born to be her nemesis!

Also, why had Lu Fei come to their house?

Jiang Sinian chuckled and tossed a book into Lu Fei's lap, "Here! Go study! Once you've studied for a year or a year and a half, you might have two or three tenths of the dashing charm I have now!"

Lu Fei: ……

He flipped through the book in his lap; uh, it was just a notebook with some famous quotes pasted inside.

And this became Jiang Sinian's book?

It was so shoddily made it was simply outrageous!

"Don't worry," Jiang Sinian seemed to see what he was thinking, "this eighty yuan won't be spent in vain."

Lu Fei's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly; indeed, he had at least bought a lesson.

If he ever believed Jiang Sinian again, he would be a dog!

"Do you like Yao Xiaotang?"

Out of the blue, Jiang Sinian asked.

The tips of Lu Fei's ears turned red, "Why should I tell you?"

"Because I have a secret manual for courtship here." Jiang Sinian raised an eyebrow, enticing him, "The old saying goes well, know yourself and know your enemy to win every battle. If you understand a girl's psychology, are you still worried about not being able to pursue her?"

Lu Fei thought of the way Yao Xiaotang was sometimes cold and sometimes warm toward him.

Even though he knew Jiang Sinian was a bad guy who wouldn't do anything without profit, he still couldn't help but ask, "How much?"

"This one is cheap, only thirty yuan."

The price was within Lu Fei's psychological range, "Deal."

"I didn't bring any today..." He wanted to say he would pay later when he had money, but Jiang Sinian didn't give him the chance.

He said directly, "My books are never sold on credit."

Lu Fei's curiosity was piqued, and he stood up, intending to go home to get the money.

Before leaving, he remembered to ask, "By the way, is your sister alright?"

"Don't worry, my sister eats well and sleeps well; even if something happens to you, nothing will happen to her."

After Lu Fei left, the siblings started fighting again.

"Jiang Sinian, did you do that on purpose?" Jiang Siyu thought of the shrew-like image she had presented in front of Lu Fei today, and was so angry she wanted to strangle Jiang Sinian to death.

"Why did you bring Lu Fei to our house?"

Jiang Sinian was being strangled until he rolled his eyes, "He wanted to come himself, what does that have to do with me? You shrew, let go! Otherwise, I won't be polite!"

Si Rong saw the siblings fighting on the sofa but turned a blind eye, taking the vegetables she had picked from the back garden to the kitchen.

If there were no major issues when children fought, it was best for parents not to intervene.

Otherwise, they would just add a problem of fairness to the conflict.

Seeing her mother, Jiang Siyu decided to briefly let the bastard Jiang Sinian off the hook.

"Mom, we met that strange old lady today, I think her name is Li Xuan!"

Si Rong's delicate brows furrowed, "What did she do?"

"She was wearing a headscarf as if she was afraid we would recognize her, then she asked us to help her find a key, and in the end, Brother used a trick to lure her to the edge of a ditch and kicked her in."

Si Rong: ……

Provoking her son, Li Xuan had truly kicked an iron plate.

They had discussed it in private more than once; Si Nian's personality was neither like hers nor like Jiang Cheng's.

It was more like Jiang Yu's black-bellied nature, just with a bit more mischief added in.

Li Xuan wouldn't be wandering outside the Junshuyuan for no reason; she must have come up with some bad idea again.

Linking this to the recent F Virus, could it be that Li Xuan was infected with the F Virus and now wanted to spread it to them?

The more Si Rong thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Li Xuan was truly getting worse as she aged.

Si Rong took a thermometer out of the medical kit, "You two drink more hot water, and then monitor your body temperatures at all times."

"Got it, Mom." Jiang Siyu obediently agreed.

"My body is super healthy, so I don't need to..."

Jiang Sinian had just sat up when he was pressed back down by his mother, "Stay put and do as I say."

The boy immediately became obedient.

After entering the bedroom, Si Rong took out her phone and called Ming Zi first.

On the other end of the line, Ming Zi cursed directly.

"Damn! Why is that old bitch like a ghost that won't go away!"

"Why didn't this F Virus just kill her?"

Ming Zi immediately thought of how that old hag had also approached Jiang Sinian and Jiang Siyu, and fearing that Si Rong would be too worried, she changed her tone.

"Those people infected with the F Virus have all been quarantined; if that bitch were infected, how could she easily be running around everywhere?"

"What do you plan to do?"

"She is looking for trouble, so she will definitely bring it upon herself."

Si Rong had already made up her mind, "This time, whether she wants to catch it or not, she will."

After hanging up the phone, she dialed the number for the neighborhood office where Li Xuan lived.

She reported Li Xuan for suspected carriage of the F Virus, retaliating against society, and concealing it without reporting.

Li Xuan was feeling quite pleased with herself at home.

She had been coughing even more severely today; she must have been infected with the F Virus.

When that brat born to Si Rong kicked her into the ditch yesterday, they were so close that it was possible Si Rong and her children were all already infected with the F Virus.

Having enjoyed a life of comfort for most of her life, it was time for Si Rong to suffer a little.

Just as she was thinking this happily, the door was knocked upon.

"Who is it? So impatient!"

Li Xuan thought it was one of her regular customers, but before she could open the door, it was kicked open by the people outside.

"Are you Li Xuan?"

As soon as the few colleagues from the neighborhood office entered, they all pinched their noses.

Stinky! It was truly too stinky!

"Who are you people? How can you trespass into my home?"

Li Xuan widened her eyes; why were these people all wearing protective suits?

After entering, they began spraying disinfectant wildly around her house, then surrounded her in a tight circle.

It was as if she were some kind of flood or wild beast.

"We received a report that you have symptoms of coughing but did not report it to the neighborhood office and even went out to deliberately spread it; now, according to relevant laws and regulations, we must subject you to quarantine."

At this moment, Li Xuan still had not realized the gravity of the situation.

"Then have you gone to the Junshuyuan to arrest Si Rong's family? Her family members had close contact with me, so they must be infected too!"

"We only quarantine those with symptoms!"

Without waiting for Li Xuan to say anything more, she was directly grabbed by these people and put into an ambulance.

When she woke up, she discovered that the so-called quarantine meant being locked up with many people infected with the F Virus.

Soon, she began to develop high fever and various other symptoms.

……

"Take out the thermometers," Si Rong said to the two children.

Jiang Siyu handed the thermometer to her mother, while Jiang Sinian took the thermometer he had used to measure his own temperature and looked at it.
