Chapter 358: Luo Sheng, Let's Break Up

~8 min read 1,420 words

"Forgive? Do I need your forgiveness?" Si Rong found it extremely laughable; she couldn't help but slap Li Xuan again, this time directly drawing blood from the corner of Li Xuan's mouth.

She recalled the twenty years in her past life when she was deceived due to Li Xuan's schemes.

Raising children for those two wretches, only for it to end as a joke.

Thinking of how she and Jiang Cheng had missed each other for so long because Li Xuan had obstructed them.

How did she have the face to ask for forgiveness?

However, Si Rong also knew that people like Li Xuan and Shen Lan could not be explained by the logic of ordinary people.

"In the past, I helped you so much, yet you never felt any gratitude, only thinking of how to scheme against me. Li Xuan, do you even have a heart?"

"I curse you to never find your child, for your child to never acknowledge you, for you to be separated from your own flesh and blood, and to be in pain forever!"

Li Xuan clutched her head, got up from the ground, and ran away.

A heart?

She had never been treated with a heart by anyone, so where would she get a heart from?

If she didn't want to help her find her child, then don't; Si Rong was truly detestable, actually cursing her so viciously.

She rushed into the arms of Shen Lan at the corner and began to sob.

"What should we do? Si Rong isn't willing to help us; did you hear the things she said?"

Shen Lan closed his eyes in some pain; he had heard Si Rong's curse directed at him.

But he also understood; after all, if it were someone else asking for help, Si Rong might have helped, but if it were them, from the perspective of an outsider, not helping was also understandable.

After all, some of the things they had done to Si Rong previously were not very good.

What he regretted most was not being able to give Si Rong happiness.

Actually, although this marriage was a scheme, if he had married Si Rong, he would definitely have been good to her; he was a gentleman.

She was a woman and had to marry eventually; rather than marrying another man, it would be better to marry him, who was filled with guilt.

It was a pity that Si Rong did not understand this logic.

Looking at that Jiang Cheng now, he was naturally bright and upright, handsome and dashing, but living a life had nothing to do with one's appearance; a good temper was a man's best dowry.

Did he understand a man as fierce as Jiang Cheng?

"If she isn't willing to help, then so be it; we'll find them ourselves!"

But thinking of his official position, Shen Lan clenched his fists tightly.

He had talent and ability; he would certainly be able to have a smooth official career without relying on anyone.

By then, the Si Family would surely regret it!

"Good, we'll find them ourselves!"

Li Xuan grabbed his wrist tightly; she didn't believe that without Si Rong's help, she wouldn't be able to find her child.

The day the transfer order came down, the weather was fine and sunny.

Jiang Cheng carried his luggage, ready to set off, but was stopped at the door by a woman's voice: "Jiang Cheng!"

"Are you really going to transfer back to Huaiyang?"

Fang Ting looked at his back and bit her lip; did Jiang Cheng care that much about that girlfriend?

Back then, she had followed him to Xishi because of her feelings for Jiang Cheng, but it turned out that a girlfriend had popped up out of nowhere, hidden so well, and after one visit, she had enticed Jiang Cheng to transfer back to Huaiyang.

She really was a vixen!

Didn't Jiang Cheng know that someone like her was the good woman?

Hiding her love to accompany him in progress, and then meeting at the peak.

"Yes."

Fang Ting felt her throat tighten a little. "Is it because of your girlfriend?"

"Yes." Jiang Cheng turned around, his eyes looking at her with detachment and coldness. "Only for her."

Fang Ting's eyelashes trembled, and when she looked again, Jiang Cheng had already walked far away.

Just a moment ago, she felt as if Jiang Cheng's gaze knew her heart, silently rejecting her.

Could it be that she really had no chance?

But since she was sixteen, she had already become accustomed to following such a person.

Fang Ting had once seen that girl from afar; she was very beautiful and very fair, but she looked delicate, eating only a few bites like a kitten when having meals with Jiang Cheng in the cafeteria.

At that time, she felt that Jiang Cheng wouldn't like such a weak girl; what could she do? Could she spar with him?

Could she fight side-by-side with him?

The only thing that surprised Fang Ting at the time was that Jiang Cheng ate all the food that the girl hadn't finished.

That was very intimate.

No, she had to transfer back to Huaiyang as well.

"Sister Ting, what do you want to eat for lunch?" Jiang Dacheng asked, leaning in with a grin.

"Eat your head!" Fang Ting was in a bad mood.

"Braised lion's head?" Dacheng hadn't heard clearly. "Good, then I'll help you get it early at noon; you need to get to the cafeteria early, I'm afraid those guys will snatch it away."

Fang Ting:...

"Are you annoying or what?"

She saw a flash of hurt on Jiang Dacheng's face and felt some regret for lashing out.

But this couldn't be blamed on her either; who told Jiang Dacheng to always follow behind her...

Fang Ting was stunned for a moment; she felt that Jiang Dacheng following behind her was annoying, so what about herself, who was always following behind Jiang Cheng?

Would Jiang Cheng also think she was annoying?

……

"I told you, you could definitely do it!" Si Rong pulled Ming Zi's hand, "The sample draft passed, from now on you can do translations for this cultural center."

Ming Zi felt as if she were in a dream; she finally had a job!

She could support herself and would not have to reach out her hand to anyone.

"Baby Rong, thank you~" Ming Zi hugged her, then regretted it again, "If only I were a man, then Shen Lan and Jiang Cheng would all have to step aside!"

Si Rong: ……

"Maybe in the next life! In this life, I have to be with Jiang Cheng."

She also didn't know when Jiang Cheng would be able to transfer back.

"Pfft! I think Jiang Cheng is actually quite average. You must be cautious about marriage, Miss. He's just a little bit Xiao Shuai, and his family background is just a little bit better than others. Besides that, what else is good about him?"

"The benefits besides that," Si Rong thought of a certain place, "only I know."

Ming Zi: ……

"By the way, when are you going to break up with Luo Sheng for good?" Si Rong felt that matters of the heart could not be dragged out, otherwise, many troublesome things would arise.

Ming Zi now had a stable place to live and a job that could support herself.

She felt that the life Si Rong had helped her imagine after marrying Luo Sheng didn't seem as comfortable as she had thought.

"Break up! I'll break up today! Stinky men shouldn't hinder me from earning money."

Luo Sheng had been asked out, originally thinking he could take her home today to do some things.

He had even specially picked a bouquet of roses from his home garden.

He hadn't expected that Si Rong would also come along.

With the good thing falling through, he was a bit impatient.

As for the love between a man and a woman, when the time is ripe, success is certain; he actually sincerely wanted to marry Ming Zi.

She grew exactly to his aesthetic tastes, and the best part was her personality.

She was clear-headed and rational; if she became Mrs. Luo, she should be able to balance the inside and outside of the home well.

He felt very at ease.

But if Ming Zi kept bringing her best friend on dates like this, then he wasn't without other choices.

"Luo Sheng, let's break up!"
