Chapter 351: Visiting Those Two Children at the Fuliyuan

~8 min read 1,523 words

Li Xuan honestly admitted, "I didn't want to scheme anything, it just so happened that I fell for the same man as Si Rong. Do I not even have the right to like the same person as her?"

At this, Ming Zi could no longer hold back and started beating her directly.

"Just so happened? A fine 'just so happened'! My hand also just so happens to really like your face right now, which is why I can't help but hit you! You wouldn't blame me, would you?"

"I'll hit you for being heartless and ungrateful! I'll hit you for being shameless! I'll hit you for being a dog who only has eyes for men and schemes!"

"No, if I use a dog to insult you, I'd have to apologize to the dog! Someone like you is simply a maggot in a toilet! Disgusting! You'll be disgusting to everyone for the rest of your life!"

Li Xuan also hadn't expected that she wouldn't manage to borrow money and would get a beating instead.

After returning home and staring at Shen Mu for a long while, they finally took fifty yuan together to the Public Security Bureau.

The public security officers naturally didn't accept it and told them to go home and wait, saying Shen Lan would be released in a week.

"Tell me, what about Shen Lan's job?" Shen Mu was completely at a loss.

Li Xuan couldn't think of any good solutions either, "Let's go ask for leave first."

As it turned out, they went to Shen Lan's workplace only to learn that Shen Lan had already been fired.

"No! You cannot fire my son!" Shen Mu began to act unreasonably.

Consequently, she was quickly carried to the entrance by two security guards and tossed out.

"Your son did such a disgraceful thing, and you, as his mother, still have the nerve to come and cause a scene? Truly, if the upper beam is crooked, the lower ones will be too!"

Pointed at and scolded by the leader, Shen Mu felt ashamed and ran away as soon as she turned around.

Li Xuan:...

She stayed behind and communicated with the leader, "This matter is a misunderstanding. Shen Lan was also wronged. It hasn't been easy for him to get to where he is today. I beg you to give Shen Lan another chance!"

Seeing that this woman spoke quite reasonably, the leader sighed and advised her, "To be honest, Shen Lan's ability is average. If it weren't for the Si Family speaking up for him before, we would have fired him long ago!"

"Then please, for the sake of the Si Family, forgive him this once," Li Xuan said hurriedly, seeing that he was willing to listen to her. "Although Shen Lan has broken off his engagement with the Si Family, they will reconcile soon!"

The leader looked at the wound on her face, "You are?"

Li Xuan bit her lip slightly, "I, I am his younger sister."

"He hits his younger sister at home?" The leader immediately had an even worse impression of Shen Lan. "That is truly outrageous!"

Li Xuan hadn't expected to cause such a wonderful misunderstanding and wanted to explain, but the leader had already turned and walked away.

Ming Zi spent two days cleaning up the room; the once-sloppy room was now brand new.

Si Rong also entrusted her eldest brother to find sample books for her to translate.

"Translate ten chapters first. If they are satisfied after you send them over, this job is yours!"

Ming Zi hugged her, "Thank you, little princess."

"What about you? Do you want to do translation?"

Si Rong shook her head, "I want to write a novel."

"A novel?" Ming Zi was curious, "Is it like those story collections?"

"Yes! But what I write will definitely be better than those story collections."

Ming Zi said impatiently, "I want to be the first one to read it when you write it!"

"I want to write a domineering CEO novel."

In her past life, Si Rong had a preference for these kinds of "domineering CEO falls in love with me" scenarios; the TV shows and novels she watched were all like that.

Addictive, good, satisfying.

Ming Zi:...

"What's a 'domineering CEO'?" But seeing the curve of Si Rong's lips, she asked in a low voice, "It wouldn't be like... *The Golden Lotus*, would it?"

Si Rong:...

"Good friend, in your heart, am I such a vulgar person?"

Ming Zi raised her eyes, "People's hearts change easily, and girls change eighteen times as they grow."

"Speaking of which, I'm starting to miss my Jiang Cheng."

"Tsk, the two of you are like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl now, waiting bitterly to meet."

"My Jiang Cheng said that he will be transferred back soon."

"Fine, fine, your 'my Jiang Cheng'," Ming Zi couldn't bear to watch. She felt that Si Rong probably truly liked Jiang Cheng; after all, she had never seen Si Rong treat Shen Lan like this.

"By the way, I beat Li Xuan up." Ming Zi felt satisfied thinking about it, "I even bruised one of her eyes."

"Well done!" Si Rong patted her shoulder, "I know you did it to vent for me, but don't do it again in the future."

"You still treat her as a friend?" Ming Zi peered at her.

"No, I'm afraid that if you help me like this, it will invite their retaliation."

Si Rong was a bit worried. Although the couple Shen Lan and Li Xuan had no money and no power, they had wicked minds.

It wouldn't be good if they couldn't retaliate against her and went to retaliate against Ming Zi instead.

"I'm not afraid." Ming Zi held her wrist, "I even want to retaliate against them!"

Si Rong held her hand back, "No rush, their retribution is already on the way."

Speaking of which, she was also looking forward to someone calling Li Xuan that name, Li Jianmei.

Besides, the twins that Shen Lan and Li Xuan had given birth to hadn't been taken home by them; they should still be at the Fuliyuan.

In her past life, those two children had harmed quite a few people directly or indirectly. If they were raised by Shen Lan and Li Xuan in this life, they might still turn out to be debt-collecting ghosts.

She was thinking about whether there was a better solution.

But she had no leads for the moment.

"I want to go see those two children,"

Ming Zi opened her eyes wide and quickly realized it was those two children, "Are you thinking of strangling those two children to death?"

Si Rong:......

She had indeed intended to cause trouble, but it hadn't reached the point of strangling anyone; she still had a lifetime of affection to share with Jiang Cheng, so she certainly couldn't go to prison.

"Just to take a look," Si Rong tied her long, draped hair back with a hair tie, "Do you want to go keep watch for me?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Ming Zi was a qualified sycophant, and she said meaningfully, "They gave birth to a child but didn't raise it themselves, putting it in the Fuliyuan; what if it gets lost?"

Lost?

Si Rong associated this with one person: Bai Mo.

That child was Shen Chi's own flesh and blood, yet she had managed, through her own efforts, to make many people restless.

She had grown up at the knees of the Bai couple since she was small; it seemed that concepts like right and wrong had been carved into her bones from birth, something no human effort could change.

After going in circles, the child had ultimately returned to their side.

Memories of her past life interspersed in her mind, and Si Rong sat on the tricycle, feeling a moment of trance.

After her Rebirth, whenever she looked at people she knew, she felt as if she were looking through them toward many years later, knowing their endings, and even knowing her own ending.

Can a person's ending really be changed?

Without realizing it, Si Rong and Ming Zi stood at the entrance of the Fuliyuan.

She had bought some food that the children liked to bring to the Fuliyuan, and Zhang called all the children to the large courtyard with the parasol trees to thank Si Rong.

"These children will surely be grateful to Miss Si in the future!"

Si Rong pursed her lips and smiled without speaking.

Suddenly, she took Ming Zi's arm and said, "Director, my cousin cannot conceive, so we would like to see what procedures are needed for adoption?"

Ming Zi:......

Sister, you didn't tell me in advance that we were going to act.

A look of sorrow immediately appeared on her face, fitting the image of a young woman who wanted children after marriage but could not have them.

"Director, sorry to trouble you; I really want a child, otherwise there will be no one to break the basin for me when I die, preferably one on the younger side."
