Chapter 341: How Could Si Rong Be With Another Man?

He was extremely furious inside.

Admittedly, it was wrong of him to be unable to control himself and have two children with Li Xuan.

But how could Si Rong be with another man?

Shen Lan walked into the courtyard with a gloomy face, "Si Rong, don't you think you owe me an explanation?"

He had waited outside the Si Family for two days, only to see Si Rong return "together" with Jiang Cheng.

Who knew what had happened between the two of them, a lone man and a lone woman, over these two days?

In fact, Shen Lan had a plan in his mind: if Si Rong had also wronged him, then the two of them could be considered even.

After they got married, he would have a more justifiable reason to bring those two children back for Si Rong to raise.

Unfortunately, no one in the Si Family paid him any mind for the time being; he was completely ignored.

Only Si Yan found the wild flower in his hand an eyesore, so he snatched it up and threw it at Shen Lan's face.

The others only cared about surrounding Jiang Cheng to look at him.

Si Han finally remembered why this kid looked familiar; wasn't he that guy from school who was always staring at her little sister?

"Big Brother! Second Brother!" Worried that they would make things difficult for Jiang Cheng, Si Rong hurriedly ran over to clarify for him, "Actually, it was me who abducted him!"

Jiang Cheng:...

The Si Family members:...

Shen Lan:...

"Daughter," after a long while, Father Si spoke first, pointing at Jiang Cheng and then glancing at the exasperated Shen Lan, "Is this the man who is superior to Shen Lan in every way that you abandoned him for?"

Shen Lan:...

That stings, buddy.

"Just tell me, shouldn't he be abandoned?" Si Rong knew how thick-skinned Shen Lan was, "He had children with my good friend, and while hiding all of this, he still wanted to marry me. Shen Lan, what exactly are you trying to do?"

"What?" Father Si looked at Shen Lan with the surprise of a reader who had just gotten online, "You had children with a woman outside?"

He was a gentleman who always believed in using words rather than fists, so he gave Shen Lan a kick directly, "I'll kick you to death, you scumbag! How dare you scheme against my daughter!"

After he finished beating him, Shen Lan had just let out a sigh of relief when his collar was grabbed again by Si Han, "You still dare to come to our house? You've got some nerve! Is my little sister someone you can bully as you please?"

With sandbag-sized fists thumping against his body, Shen Lan felt he couldn't hold on much longer.

He shouted for mercy from his Second Brother.

"Second Brother," fearing that her Second Brother would beat him to death, Si Rong hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "Beating him to death would only dirty your hands! Let him get lost; his bad days are still to come!"

"Si Rong..." Shen Lan covered his nose to stop the bleeding; he couldn't believe these words were spoken by the gentle Si Rong.

"I already know I was wrong, listen to my explanation, it was all because I got drunk with Li Xuan that day, the person I truly love in my heart is you—ah!"

Shen Lan was dragged away on the ground by Jiang Cheng, but not wanting to appear so rude and impolite in the Si Family, he said politely, "Uncle, Aunt, I'll go say a few words to him outside."

Shen Lan:...

Si Rong:...

Soon, the familiar sounds of Shen Lan's pained cries came from outside.

"This child, you hadn't mentioned him much before." Mother Si looked at her daughter.

"For a woman in this life, being born well is the most important thing, and marriage is the second most important."

"It's fortunate that you found out about those things, otherwise you would have really been tricked into marriage by that beast!" Mother Si felt lingering fear just thinking about it, "You should stay by Mom's side for a few more years."

"I don't feel at ease handing you over to any man right now."

She was still young; raising her daughter for a few more years was better than letting her be deceived by some stinking man.

Si Rong:...

"Jiang Cheng is different, Mom, you'll know in the future."

After beating Shen Lan, Jiang Cheng walked back in politely, waiting for the Si Family's interrogation.

This time, he was finally invited to sit in the living room.

"I heard you are an officer? What is your position now?" Father Si asked symbolically.

For a family like theirs, they usually held soldiers in high regard.

But for someone who wanted to date their daughter, that was a different matter entirely.

"Just a Company Commander, but I will work hard in the future."

Hearing this, Si Rong suddenly realized a problem.

In her previous life, she married Jiang Cheng at thirty-seven; it was already '96 by then, and Jiang Cheng had already been promoted to Division Commander.

But now it was '76; if a capitalist's daughter like her married Jiang Cheng, it might affect his future prospects.

She knew how much Jiang Cheng loved his career.

If he had to choose between his career and her, what would he choose?

"You know our family's situation, right?" Father Si looked at Jiang Cheng with appreciation, "Although we are red capitalists and have medals awarded by the state in the past, the world is unpredictable."

"I'm not afraid," Jiang Cheng said without hesitation.

Even if his future were to be affected, he still wanted her.

"Good courage!" Father Si couldn't help but praise him.

Jiang Cheng felt a sense of relief, but the next second he heard Father Si say, "However, I'm not the one who runs the house."

He raised his chin proudly, "Everything in our house has to be decided by my wife."

Jiang Cheng:...

At noon, the Si Family kept Jiang Cheng for a meal, and Wang Ma prepared a table full of her signature dishes.

Although she was just a servant, the Si Family treated her well; they had even planned for her to accompany the young lady when she married into the Shen Family.

Now, looking at this Jiang Cheng, she only felt he was much more pleasing to the eye than that Shen Lan.

Therefore, she naturally put even more effort into the cooking.

At the dining table, Si Rong was thinking about how to give Jiang Cheng a formal status at a moment like this.

Given that such a thing had just happened, it was understandable that her mother was worried about her state of mind.

At the very least, she had to secure the title of girlfriend first; only then would she feel at ease letting Jiang Cheng return to the troops.

……

At the same time, Shen Lan returned home covered in injuries.

"My son!" Shen Mu said, her eyes brimming with tears of heartache, "Which god-forsaken wretch beat you up like this? You are a director!"

And you could even become an even higher-ranking official in the future!

"Call the police! Mother will call the police right now!" Originally, because she was about to become in-laws with the Si Family, Shen Mu had prided herself on her status rising, so she had subconsciously stopped speaking in her country dialect.

In her anxiety, it slipped out anyway.

"Mom! Stop making things worse!" Intense hatred swirled in Shen Lan's eyes; it was one thing for Si Rong's brother to hit him, but what right did Jiang Cheng have to hit him?

Who was he to Si Rong? And what qualifications did he have?

Could it be that Jiang Cheng thought he had a chance just because Si Rong was angry at him right now?

That would be too laughable.

The person Si Rong truly loved in her heart was him; she was just angry right now. As long as he was willing to lower his pride and coax Si Rong, she would still be willing to marry him.

The door was knocked upon.

Shen Yun opened the door and saw that the person who had come was Li Xuan; she immediately frowned, "What are you here for?"

This woman was no good, and in her opinion, she was mentally ill.

She had given birth to two children for her brother but wouldn't marry him herself, instead egging her good friend on to marry him.

However, her brother was a man, so sleeping with an extra woman wouldn't be a loss anyway.

Moreover, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse, and having a sister-in-law like the daughter of the Si Family would give her more face, so in her heart, Shen Yun also hoped that Si Rong would quickly forgive her brother and marry into the family.
