Chapter 359: When Are We Getting Engaged

What?

Ming Zi wanted to break up with him, and Luo Sheng even thought he had misheard.

How dare she?

Although Ming Zi was indeed quite pretty and had a decent personality, her being with him was a step up in the world for her.

To put it bluntly, Luo Sheng felt he was the best option Ming Zi could currently find.

"What?"

"I said, let's break up." Ming Zi did not miss the contempt that inadvertently flashed in his eyes.

Eating someone's food makes your mouth soft, and taking someone's gifts makes your hands soft; it truly is an eternal truth.

Days spent with palms facing upward are not so easy to get through.

This time she said it very loudly, very clearly, and very firmly, so Luo Sheng heard it.

He slammed the table hard, "Ming Zi, don't regret this! I, Luo Sheng, can find a woman whenever I want; it is absolutely not the case that I must have you!"

"Then please go find one quickly and stop bothering me." Ming Zi also slammed the table at him.

If it were before, she would not have done this.

Because she was spending Luo Sheng's money, she always lacked a bit of confidence in front of him.

Luo Sheng narrowed his eyes; he was waiting for Ming Zi to regret it.

Just as he turned around, he heard Ming Zi call him.

Luo Sheng curled his lips; hehe, he knew Ming Zi would regret it.

He just didn't expect her to regret it so quickly.

A few scattered roses were shoved into his arms—the very ones he had brought.

"Here, take these; they'll be good to give to your new girlfriend later," Ming Zi said.

Look at that, how thoughtful she was.

Luo Sheng's face turned black instantly; he threw the roses to the side and walked away angrily.

Si Rong:...

She really couldn't hold it in and laughed out loud.

Especially the ending where Ming Zi made Luo Sheng take the roses; she inexplicably found it hilarious.

"You really are virtuous when you want to be."

No wonder Luo Sheng wanted to marry Ming Zi; if it were her, she would also... forget it, she had Jiang Cheng, and she was destined in this life not to live the life of having a red flag at home that never falls while colorful flags flutter outside.

"Stop laughing." Ming Zi manually pinched her full lips, "Forget it, laugh if you want; breaking up is actually quite refreshing."

At least she didn't need to worry about another person's emotions at any time.

"It's okay, you will definitely meet your true love in the future."

Si Rong was referring to that Xue Ming.

In their past lives, it wasn't as if there were no regrets between them; they met too late and delayed for too long.

Now, because of her Rebirth, Ming Zi would not end up with Luo Sheng, but according to the trajectory of the past life, Xue Ming was still on that Haidao.

On that Haidao that even she and Jiang Cheng might not necessarily go to in this life.

Trying to play matchmaker for them seemed a bit difficult.

"Forget it," Ming Zi rested her chin on her hand, "I have an intuition that I seem better suited for being single. By the way, have I told you that an old person in the village who knows how to read faces said I have a natural widow's fate, and whoever I marry, I will curse to death?"

Si Rong:...

Thinking about it carefully, it seemed a bit true; in the past life, Luo Sheng died before Ming Zi, and then Xue Ming also died before Ming Zi.

However, she still tried her best to comfort Ming Zi, "Don't believe those things; even if you don't curse them, a man who is meant to die will die anyway."

Ming Zi:...

"That's a great comfort, but I think if the widow's fate were real, the country should send me to marry abroad and curse all those bad things to death!"

Si Rong:...

Such ambition! She is worthy of being her sister!

"It's fine, fate is very mysterious; maybe you will meet a man who has the same 'widow's fate' as you."

Ming Zi raised an eyebrow, "I hope so, we can curse each other! By the way, I heard Li Xuan and Shen Lan are looking for the child everywhere; Shen Lan even came to find me once."

"Asking you for help?"

"Mm," Ming Zi nodded, "but I always feel like he wants to probe for some information from me; could it be he suspects we know the child's whereabouts?"

Si Rong felt Shen Lan wouldn't find them, "Then let him keep suspecting."

"Exactly! A pair of lunatics! They gave birth to the child and then didn't take care of it themselves, putting it in the Fuliyuan; now that it's been adopted by someone else, who can they blame?"

"They can only blame themselves; they wanted to scheme against others, but they didn't know that good and evil will eventually be rewarded—this is what you call immediate retribution!"

"They won't be looking for long." Si Rong sipped her tea.

"How do you know?"

"Because people like them only ever love themselves the most." Si Rong knew those two too well.

If they really loved the child, even if they spent some effort and money to find a reliable family for the child, wouldn't they then come to scheme against her?

Don't they, as grown adults, know that people come and go at the Fuliyuan and the child could be adopted at any time?

Of course they knew, they just did it to save trouble, worry, and money.

That child wasn't necessarily that important in their hearts; ever since she broke off the engagement, realizing they couldn't use those two children to scheme against her, perhaps those two even felt the children were a burden.

They will come back after suffering for a few days, claiming that with their abilities, it was impossible to find the child.

In the end, they will still blame everything they caused on her, Si Rong.

Things will definitely develop along this trajectory.

"To be reincarnated as their child, it really is unlucky enough!"

"We still can't find the children," Li Xuan said with a bitter face, hugging Shen Lan's waist, "We have already searched all of Huaiyang; is it possible that we will never find them in this lifetime?"

Shen Lan was silent.

They had no manpower and no money; wanting to find two infants was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

"As their parents, we can only keep looking," he said.

But in truth, he was very exhausted, because having no money on him meant he could not eat his fill, and blisters had already been rubbed onto his feet.

"But, but I can't walk anymore," Li Xuan plopped down onto the ground, "It's all Si Rong's fault! She clearly has the ability to help us search; as long as she spent some money, or let her eldest brother and second brother help us inquire, why did she have to force us to this point!"

"Shen Lan, we won't be able to find the children like this; why don't we, why don't we go back first, rest a while, and then think of a proper way."

Since she had taken the initiative to suggest it, Shen Lan naturally followed the path offered, "That is fine too; I also cannot bear to see you so tired."

The two returned to their rented room, and for several days in a row, no one mentioned the matter of looking for the children again.

Si Rong was walking home with her second brother; when she reached the entrance, she felt something, and upon turning her head, she saw Jiang Cheng.

The man was in his military uniform, travel-worn, his gaze filled with longing as he looked at her.

"Jiang Cheng!"

Si Rong let go of her second brother's hand and ran toward Jiang Cheng, jumping lightly onto him, and was promptly caught by Jiang Cheng's hands.

Si Han:......

"Have you been transferred back?" Si Rong asked him.

Jiang Cheng nodded.

*Smack! * Si Rong kissed him on the face.

"Get down!" Si Han could not stand to watch this; he always had the feeling that his family's cabbage was being rooted up by a pig, "In public, what kind of decorum is this!"

If it were a few years earlier, even if it were with one's own partner on the street like this, his little sister would have been considered guilty of hooliganism.

Si Rong jumped down and took Jiang Cheng's hand, "Then we'll hug when we get home."

Si Han:......

Mother Si was very happy to hear that Jiang Cheng had been transferred back.

She had intended to simply exchange a few pleasantries with her future son-in-law, but then she saw her own daughter open her mouth to ask, "Jiang Cheng, when are we getting engaged?"

Once they were engaged, she would be able to live together with Jiang Cheng.
