Chapter 27: Indeed, They Are Biological Father and Daughter

Sure enough, Shen Lan's stomach soon began to ache violently because he hadn't eaten dinner.

Shen Mu and Shen Yun, who had just returned from shopping, began to blame Si Rong one after another, blaming her for not taking good care of Shen Lan.

If this were in the past, Si Rong would certainly have been full of self-reproach.

But now, she just ate the meal Wang Ma had prepared for her calmly while watching a TV drama, "He is such a grown man, not a baby still nursing; who is he to blame if he doesn't eat himself?"

Shen Mu scolded angrily, "He worked so long and so hard during the day; men are meant to do great things. If he forgot to eat, don't you know how to bring him food?"

"I don't," Si Rong said concisely.

"You! You really have no heart! If it weren't for my son, could you have become the wife of a County Magistrate?" Just as Shen Mu was about to start cursing, Wang Ma once again charged out from the kitchen, full of spirit and vigor, and blocked the way in front of Si Rong like a wall.

In the past, she had the heart to protect Si Rong, but the mistress would always stop her, saying that she was, after all, a daughter-in-law of the Shen family and could not bear children, so if Shen Mu was occasionally dissatisfied with her, she would just let it go.

But these past few days, she had seen it with her own eyes: the mistress had changed and was no longer protecting these people of the Shen family everywhere like she used to.

"Speak to my mistress with some respect!" Wang Ma shouted sternly.

"Who do you think you are, a servant?" Shen Mu did not hold a servant in any regard.

What business was it of anyone else if she scolded her own daughter-in-law!

But Wang Ma jumped up on the spot, acting even more like a shrew than the shrews in their Shen Family Village.

"This old shrew isn't a nobody, you're the nobody! A nobody who doesn't know when they're well off! If my mistress hadn't married down into your Shen family, your Shen family would still be things crawling in the mud ditch! Bullied by everyone! Now that your family has 'attained the Dao and your chickens and dogs have ascended to heaven,' you rely on the power of our Si Family, and after getting the benefits, you want to turn around and bully our young lady? I won't allow it!"

Shen Mu:...

She suddenly felt that at her age, her face was being rubbed against the ground by someone.

How could this nanny say such things?

Her son was naturally a dragon among men; how was he relying on the power of the Si Family?

But her daughter kept pulling at her from the side, and Shen Mu knew that her daughter was now full of that Yang Junwei, so she really didn't dare to have a falling out with Si Rong.

Her daughter was already over thirty, and now that she was finally willing to get married, she couldn't let it fall through.

Shen Mu returned to the guest room in a huff, momentarily forgetting about her son who still had a stomachache.

As for Shen Yun, she was currently stirred by romantic feelings; not only did she take it upon herself to apologize to Si Rong on her mother's behalf, but she also spoke a few bad words about her mother to curry favor with Si Rong, hoping that Si Rong would persuade her brother so that she could marry Yang Junwei sooner.

"Getting married so soon?" Si Rong raised an eyebrow.

It seemed that Shen Yun wasn't just an ordinary romantic fool; she was a super romantic fool.

"Yes, Jun Wei and I have already... made a private pledge for life."

Actually, they had just slept together, and she had been the one to initiate it.

But using the idiom "made a private pledge for life" made her feel it was a bit more romantic.

Si Rong:...

What the hell is a private pledge for life!

"If you want to get married, then get married!" Si Rong smiled.

Only by getting married can one see a man clearly.

But Shen Lan did not agree; he endured his stomach pain and scolded his little sister.

"How many days have you known each other? Rushing to get married like this, people will think my sister, Shen Lan's sister, is unwanted!"

There was another violent spasm in his stomach.

A thin layer of sweat broke out on Shen Lan's forehead.

But Si Rong acted as if she didn't see it.

She just went on removing her makeup.

Shen Yun was very angry, "Brother! Marriage is a major event in my life; you have no right to disagree!"

"An elder brother is like a father! If you don't listen to me, I won't give you a single cent for your dowry!" Shen Lan was even angrier.

"Don't give it then! Jun Wei won't care about that!"

Shen Yun was very confident in herself; what Jun Wei valued was her as a person, not some dowry.

After the siblings finished arguing, Shen Yun ran straight out.

That night, she moved directly into the Yang household.

At night, Shen Lan tossed and turned with a stomachache and couldn't sleep; in the past, Si Rong would definitely have stayed up all night, taking care of him without even taking off her clothes.

But now, she was lying on the bed sleeping soundly.

Shen Lan didn't dare to make too much noise, fearing he would wake his daughter.

He just lay on the bed and endured it for the whole night, and when he finally managed to doze off until dawn, he discovered that he was the only one left in the bed when he woke up in pain again.

He didn't know if last night was a punishment for Si Rong or a punishment for himself.

Shen Lan struggled to get up for work.

The reason he was successful, besides his ability, was that he was also very diligent.

This was something everyone in the administrative department knew; even a few years ago when Si Rong went to the hospital for an appendectomy, he had insisted on going to work.

But before he could crawl out of bed, a sudden violent pain in his stomach made Shen Lan's vision go white, and he fainted directly.

Early in the morning, Si Rong got into Ming Zi's car, preparing to go to the city to pick up the results of the paternity test.

On the way, she told Ming Zi about her plan to get a driver's license.

"You're about to know the results, yet you still have the heart to think about getting a driver's license; it seems you really don't care anymore." Ming Zi was very gratified by her best friend's strength.

"Yes, anyway, I am definitely going to get a divorce. This result actually isn't that important; I just want to verify a few things."

Si Rong was much calmer than she had been a few days ago.

She just wanted to know how long she had been a fool.

They soon arrived in the city, and the two of them first went to eat at a soup dumpling shop that Ming Zi said was very delicious.

Only then did she pace unhurriedly toward the hospital.

The hospital handed the test results to Si Rong with both hands, "According to the verification, these two people share a biological blood relationship."

Si Rong only felt her heart skip a beat; she thanked them before sitting on a stool to look at the test results.

The information was still what she had filled out by hand back then.

Father, Shen Lan.

Daughter, Shen Yuan; the hospital confirmed that Shen Lan is the biological father of Shen Yuan.

Very good, simply excellent.

She had been married to Shen Lan for eighteen years, and Shen Yuan was seventeen, which meant that the year they married, Li Xuan was already pregnant.

She gave birth to a pair of twins for Shen Lan, and then watched as Shen Lan married her?

Si Rong was even a little impressed by her.

Carefully disguising herself for nearly twenty years, was she truly content?

From today on, in her heart, these two people were figures with acting skills on the level of best actor and best actress.

"These two shameless pieces of trash!" Ming Zi's chest heaved violently with anger.

She had never seen such thick-skinned and shameless people; good heavens, to encounter two of them at once!

"I have a good idea," Ming Zi's eyes rolled, "Without delaying your plan, let's first find a few people from the streets to mess with them! Otherwise, they really might think this world is being played in the palms of their hands!"
