Chapter 345: He will definitely be able to win over Si Rong

*Slap—*

"This is the response to your wishful thinking." Si Rong knew her far too well; this tactic of feigning retreat to advance was merely an attempt to elicit her sympathy. Unfortunately, she was no longer the foolish, kind-hearted version of herself from her past life.

That version of her had already been killed by this pair of scumbags.

"You think you can just walk away after scheming against others? Did I agree to that?"

She did not care how Jiang Cheng viewed her; in her past life, he had said he loved every side of her.

If she had not experienced Rebirth, the plot right now would be this pair of scumbags secretly popping champagne to celebrate the success of their plan.

Li Xuan lowered her eyes, the burning pain on her cheek a reminder that her friendship with Si Rong had vanished into thin air at this very moment.

She was currently homeless, and her two children were still waiting at the Fuliyuan for someone to pick them up.

Was she not miserable enough? What other price did Si Rong want her to pay?

Blame her for scheming? Was she born with a penchant for scheming?

If the Heavens could be fairer and let her be born as a daughter of the Si Family, would she still have to scheme against people like this?

If Si Rong had been born as her, Li Xuan did not believe she could be any more noble than herself.

Perhaps she would have been even more unscrupulous than her!

Many things that were difficult for her, such as finding work at Huaiyi, were a breeze for Si Rong.

The only reason she was dragging her feet and refusing to help her get things done all at once was to make her feel more grateful to her.

"I..." Si Rong slapped her again.

"I know you won't leave Huaiyang, so stop pretending."

"You see it too," she said, linking her arm with Jiang Cheng's, "I have a boyfriend now, and we will be married soon."

She shifted her gaze to the furious face of Shen Lan. "Speaking of which, I feel it is necessary to emphasize this: Shen Lan, I stopped loving you a long time ago."

Specifically, it could be traced back to her past life.

"And it's impossible for me to use Jiang Cheng to make you jealous, because in my eyes, you are just trash. Who would use a pearl to make trash jealous? Don't say things like that again; it makes you look both wicked and stupid."

There was no sense of accomplishment in taking revenge anymore.

Shen Lan:...

He suspected Si Rong had smeared Dichlorvos on her lips; otherwise, how could she be so venomous?

Calling Jiang Cheng a pearl? And him, trash?

Bah!

The tips of Jiang Cheng's ears were red.

"Let's go!"

Jiang Cheng picked up the fallen bicycle, Si Rong linked her arm with his, and the two walked away.

Leaving only Li Xuan and Shen Lan behind, staring at each other.

"What did she mean by that?" Li Xuan looked at Shen Lan with some suspicion. "Why are you so useless?"

Shen Lan:...

He gave Li Xuan a hard shove. "I should be asking you that. Si Rong didn't intend to say such heartless things; it's all your fault for suddenly popping out of nowhere and saying those nonsensical things."

Perhaps if Si Rong hadn't seen Li Xuan, she wouldn't have been so angry.

He was so annoyed at being dismissed as trash by Si Rong that he couldn't help but complain, "What kind of rotten idea did you come up with? Si Rong is not as easy to fool as you imagined!"

Furthermore, what hurt him the most was that Si Rong had changed her heart and gotten together with Jiang Cheng so quickly. Had she ever truly loved him?

If Si Rong had discovered that he and Li Xuan had children and then struggled in pain or even accused and cried at him, he could have accepted it.

But Si Rong seemed to have completely disregarded him, turning around to become Jiang Cheng's girlfriend as if, to her, he really was just dispensable trash.

Li Xuan was also completely baffled. It shouldn't have been like this; all of Si Rong's reactions were beyond her predictions.

There was only one voice in her heart: everything was over.

"Don't think about Si Rong for now. Let's think about what to do with our children first, shall we?"

Shen Lan remained silent.

"Let's get married so the children can be registered!" Li Xuan said, biting her lip.

"After we're married, let Mom watch the kids at home while we both work. We have to keep living; we can't let the children continue to suffer at the Fuliyuan. The staff there are devils!"

If she ever stood in a high position, the first thing she would do was hold those staff members accountable!

"No!" Shen Lan rejected her proposal. "We still have a chance!"

Si Rong was a traditional woman, and Jiang Cheng worked far away in Xishi; he still had a chance!

Seeing Li Xuan's displeasure, he held her hand and coaxed, "Even if we, who have no family background, work hard for a lifetime, we could never reach the heights of the Si Family."

"But if we work a little harder, as long as Si Rong becomes mine, we will be infinitely close to the Si Family."

He gripped Li Xuan's shoulders. "Don't feel bad about the little hardships the children are suffering now. As their father, I will definitely make them exist like little young masters and little princesses in the future! And you! You will also be the virtuous wife forever behind me!"

Li Xuan was somewhat moved by his words. "Is there really still a turning point?"

"Yes!" Shen Lan was very certain. "You must believe in me!"

Li Xuan lowered her head and thought for a while. "Then the children and I will give you one more month. If you still haven't managed to win over Si Rong by then, I must bring the children back."

"Fine," Shen Lan promised distractedly.

But in his heart, he knew this was absolutely impossible; he would definitely win over Si Rong.

"I'll go find a way now."

It seemed he had to go find Zhu Yun.

"Shen Lan!" Watching his impatient back, Li Xuan asked the doubt in her heart with a tremble, "Have you fallen for Si Rong?"

When she took Shen Lan to see Si Rong, she did indeed have a sense of rivalry that desperately needed to be satisfied.

She wanted to hear Shen Lan say that no matter how beautiful Si Rong was or how rich her family was, he would love her forever.

Shen Lan indeed said exactly that.

But now, Li Xuan suddenly felt a bit unable to believe it.

"No." Shen Lan did not turn around to look at her, leaving only these two words.

He did not like Si Rong; he was merely unwilling to accept the outcome.

He liked it even less when his plans were interrupted; he had been very fond of the plan Li Xuan mentioned earlier.

Si Rong should have married him, washed her hands to make soup for him, raised their children, used the power of the Si Family to pave the way for him, and then they would have lived their lives with mutual respect like guests.

Shen Lan went under a bridge arch, where a middle-aged man was lying on a straw mat on the ground.

"Zhu Yun!"

Zhu Yun opened his eyes slightly and yawned, "What are you doing here?"

"I came to find you, naturally to get the medicine."

……

Two days later, Jiang Cheng boarded the train back to the troops.

Si Rong saw him all the way to the station, and Jiang Yu drove her back when she returned.

"Jiang Yu, thank you."

Jiang Yu smiled, "Sister-in-law, no need to thank me."

If she wanted to thank someone, she should thank his brother! On such a hot day, he only let his sister-in-law go into the station to bid him a reluctant farewell, yet he was worried about his sister-in-law's safety, so he made him wait outside the station to see his sister-in-law home safely.

What did he take him for?
