Chapter 357: She Will Pay the Price

"It's fine, she will pay the price soon." Li Xuan's eyes dimmed.

She took Shen Lan's arm, "Brother Lan, it was hard on you to come find me so late!"

Thinking that there was still someone in this world who loved her so wholeheartedly, she finally felt a bit more comfortable in her heart.

"Our children are lost."

"Lost?" This news was like a bombshell to Li Xuan, "How could they be lost?"

"Weren't they taken home by Si Rong?"

Shen Lan shook his head and pulled her along, "Let's talk as we walk."

Upon learning that the children were not taken by Si Rong and had been adopted by someone else and were now missing, Li Xuan couldn't wait to rush back to Huaiyang immediately to find them.

"What is going on with Si Rong? Could this be her doing?"

Because she was jealous that she had snatched Shen Lan away, she was taking out all her jealous rage on their children.

"Even if she hates me, the children are innocent after all!"

"Shen Lan, how can Si Rong be so vicious?"

Shen Lan frowned, "It shouldn't be her."

Si Han beating him like that didn't seem like he wanted Si Rong to continue being with him.

"What? You still trust her?"

"It's not that I trust her; she won't be with me anymore, there's no need to do this." Shen Lan felt a deep sorrow in his heart, "It's more important that we find the children first."

"How could the two of us find them? We don't know anyone, we still need Si Rong to have someone help us find them."

Li Xuan pursed her lips and began to scheme, "If she wants to investigate, she will definitely be able to find them."

"Besides, this matter is also her fault."

If Si Rong had married Shen Lan according to the plan, would the children be lost now?

Furthermore, this was just a very simple matter for Si Rong.

After all, they were classmates once.

Shen Lan:...

"I said, we will find them ourselves, she won't help us!"

He didn't know why, but he felt that Li Xuan didn't seem as clever as before; in the past, she could always calculate Si Rong very clearly.

But now, she just made people think she was stupid.

The sky brightened, Xiao Shuai Ma finished making breakfast and went to call her son and daughter-in-law to eat.

It must be said that she was actually quite satisfied with this daughter-in-law of hers.

As a result, as soon as she pushed the door open, she came face-to-face with an old face on the bed.

"Ahhh—"

"What are you howling about so early in the morning?" Xiao Shuai Ba scolded.

Xiao Shuai Ma pulled him over, "You, you see for yourself!"

Then Xiao Shuai Ba also came face-to-face with that old face.

"You old cheapskate!" Xiao Shuai Ma threw off her apron, went into the room, and dragged Li Mu off the bed, "No wonder you were so satisfied with my son before, it turns out you weren't picking a son-in-law, you shameless thing! You dare to run to my house and play a bait-and-switch on me! Today I'm going to tear you apart!"

Li Mu:...

She understood everything now, that damn little bitch!

She actually let herself sleep with an idiot for a night, and last night it seemed like...

"Li! Jianmei!"

After being beaten by the idiot's parents, Li Mu was dragged by the couple to wander around the village, and finally, she had to go home and return the bride price to them.

Now, she had truly lost all her face.

Damn Li Jianmei, once she caught her again, it wouldn't be as simple as just marrying an idiot.

To dare to be so unfilial!

Si Rong slept until she woke up naturally, she stretched, and last night she had outlined a rough plot and even finished the opening of her CEO novel.

The weather was very nice, and she prepared to go to the garden to continue writing after eating.

Wang Ma made some meat pies, corn and meat filling, which were very delicious.

After eating two and drinking a bowl of red bean porridge, Si Rong heard Wang Shu say someone wanted to see her.

She could roughly guess who it was.

Li Xuan stood outside the gate, this time Shen Lan didn't come with her, probably waiting nearby.

It seemed that the punches from the second brother were still useful.

"Wang Shu, open the gate."

Li Xuan knew that Si Rong would see her.

Walking into the Si Family step by step, Li Xuan lowered her eyes and put on a weak posture, "Si Rong, my children are lost, please help me."

Slap—

Si Rong slapped her hard, "You really have some nerve, do you think I'm a Bodhisattva? Running to me to beg for this and that."

"Children lost? Good thing, maybe it's God's punishment for you two scumbags."

"Si Rong, why are you speaking so harshly?" Li Xuan covered her cheek, "The previous matter was Shen Lan and my fault, but the children are innocent."

"Right, the children are innocent, so why don't you go beg someone else to help you?" Si Rong asked her, and slapped her again, "Do I owe you anything?"

Li Xuan wanted to fight back, but seeing Wang Ma standing beside her in a protective stance, she didn't dare to fight back after all.

"I didn't say you owe me anything; it's just that we were in the same dormitory for four years of university, so there is some friendship between us after all."

"No!" Si Rong used a palm gesture to deny her claim.

"Si Rong, if you say there is, then there is; if you say there isn't, then there isn't," Li Xuan said with a mocking smile on her lips, "You are Si Rong; who would dare to contradict anything you say?"

"I am begging you to help me find my child. As long as you are willing, I will do anything."

Si Rong raised an eyebrow, "What do you think you are capable of doing?"

"I can kneel to you."

Si Rong:...

Sometimes, she really felt helpless.

With an IQ like Li Xuan's, how was she able to deceive her for so many years in her past life?

"What kind of person do you think you are? Can kneeling exchange for a wish? I find it an eyesore just looking at it."

Li Xuan knelt directly in front of her.

"Isn't it just that you want to see me humiliated and bowing my head in front of you?"

"Uh, actually, how should I put it? Watching you kneel feels quite nice," Si Rong pursed her lips with a mischievous smile, "However, I haven't promised you anything."

"Then I will just keep kneeling."

Si Rong raised an eyebrow and instructed Wang Shu, "Move her outside the door. She can kneel for as long as she likes. If the neighbors ask, explain the good deeds she has done."

"Hey? Si Rong, you..."

Li Xuan was dragged outside the door by Wang Shu. Ming Zi, walking at a leisurely pace, happened to arrive just then. Seeing Li Xuan, she clicked her tongue twice, "Who are you trying to moral-kidnap here again?"

Li Xuan glared at her fiercely.

"A woman like you who only knows how to cling to rich men, how could you understand me?"

"What do you want people to understand about you? Backstabbing a good friend? Scheming against a good friend? And when the scheming fails, you start moral-kidnapping?"

"Li Xuan, you should actually be content. Just think, if Si Rong were like you and treated you the way you treated her, would you still be able to be kneeling here right now?"

Li Xuan's eyes flickered.

"If you still have any shred of shame, you should just quietly live your own life in a corner with your man and child. Why do you still want to push your luck?"

"But my child is missing, and I can't find them myself," Li Xuan cried bitterly, "Si Rong, if you don't help me, I will never forgive you for the rest of my life!"
