Chapter 371: Shen Lan will definitely ensure she lives a good life

Sincerity is the ultimate trump card.

After Fang Ting said this, Si Rong felt she had gone too far; she shouldn't have teased her future mother-in-law like that.

However, since the atmosphere had already been built up to this point, she had no choice but to keep acting.

Slowly raising her eyes, the redness in them from holding back laughter didn't make Fang Ting suspicious at all.

Si Rong grabbed Fang Ting's hands, "So, you won't fight me for Jiang Cheng, right? Thank you, sister."

Fang Ting:...

"Sister is so outstanding," Si Rong looked at her with admiration, "you will definitely find a man even better than Jiang Cheng!"

In her past life, that Dacheng was quite good to Fang Ting, and the two of them were very loving in their later years.

Fang Ting:...

She didn't know what to say at all now, only wanting to roll her eyes.

"I won't fight you for him!"

She said huffily.

The key was that she had to be able to win him over in the first place.

She had thought she wouldn't be in the mood to hang out, but it was the exact opposite; Si Rong was very pleasant to talk to, and she spent a delightful afternoon at the Si Family, even staying for a meal in the evening.

A full and satisfied Fang Ting:...

Forget it, forget it; it was just a man, she would just find another one.

Over these years, because she was rather competitive and wanted to compare her progress to Jiang Cheng's in everything, she had very few female friends.

Now that she finally had one, even if it had evolved in a peculiar way.

"Then will you attend my wedding? Sister?" Si Rong played the part to the end; she discovered that Fang Ting really fell for this act.

It was somewhat like Jiang Cheng.

"Go, I'll go."

After Fang Ting promised and returned home, she regretted it; she didn't know what was wrong with her today, as if she were being controlled by a very strange feeling.

Forget it, she had promised so she would go; watching Si Rong marry Jiang Cheng would help her give up completely.

On the other side, Shen Lan also learned the news that Jiang Cheng was going to marry Si Rong.

He was surprisingly calm inside, as if he had already accepted the fickleness of fate.

Being a soldier wasn't easy; although Tian Fuguang had the ability to get him in, once inside, it was all up to his own skills.

If he didn't work hard, he would only be able to go to a place like the Kitchen Squad.

He couldn't go there; he would definitely be mocked by Jiang Cheng for the rest of his life if he did.

But because he had been a desk worker before, the sudden increase in training volume made him feel like he was being worked like a dead dog every day.

Returning home, he had no patience for Li Xuan, his mother, or his little sister, so he just collapsed and slept, naturally failing to notice the new bracelet on his little sister Shen Yun's wrist.

It was gold, and Shen Yun liked it very much.

On top of that, Tian Fuguang cared about her a lot, and even took her out alone to eat at the state-run canteen this noon.

Shen Yun thought he wanted to be with her mother and was trying to gain approval from her and her brother first.

It seemed Tian Fuguang was quite serious about her mother.

Besides, it wasn't his fault even if he wasn't divorced yet; according to Tian Fuguang, his wife was always sickly, and he had to take care of her after working so hard.

They say there are no filial sons before a long-term sickbed; it was truly that woman's own body that wasn't up to the task.

"Uncle, that must be really hard on you." Shen Yun spoke up to comfort him.

Tian Fuguang took a few sips, looked at her with a smile, and suddenly gripped her hand, "Xiao Yun, if only I were younger, then I would find a good girl like you."

Shen Yun subconsciously wanted to pull her hand away, but Tian Fuguang held it very tightly.

"Uncle, you're drunk."

Tian Fuguang let go of her hand, "Right, I'm drunk. Xiao Yun, I'm sorry."

His gaze landed on Shen Yun, appraising her very carefully, "Your clothes are old, and your shoes are worn out. Let me take you to the mall to buy new ones!"

"No, there's really no need," Shen Yun refused.

But Tian Fuguang was very insistent, "Uncle is drunk today, it's Uncle's fault for scaring Xiao Yun. Consider the clothes and shoes as Uncle apologizing to you; if you don't accept them, you aren't willing to forgive Uncle!"

Her whole family was currently living in Tian Fuguang's house, so how could Shen Yun say she wouldn't forgive him? She had no choice but to nod lightly.

At the same time, a thought rose in her heart.

Tian Fuguang liked her.

It wasn't because of her mother, because she could feel that the way Tian Fuguang looked at her wasn't like an elder looking at a junior, but like a man looking at a woman.

Wearing the new clothes and new shoes, Shen Yun felt as if she had become confident.

She remembered that when Si Rong walked, she always held her head slightly high like a proud little princess; back then, she had always envied her.

Envied that so many people liked her, envied that she always had pretty clothes to wear.

Now, she was finally wearing them too.

"So beautiful!" Tian Fuguang leaned in close and praised her.

In a place where no one could see, his large palm touched the back of her hand again.

Shen Yun endured it without struggling; she knew that everything had a price.

Just like the clothes and shoes she bought today; it seemed like she didn't spend any money, but in reality, she had to pay something in return.

If Tian Fuguang wanted to touch her hand, let him.

She was currently able to accept this level of intimacy.

Returning home, Shen Mu grew suspicious of the new clothes on her, "Where did you get these?"

She quickly thought of Tian Fuguang and fiercely slapped Shen Yun across the face, "Did you give yourself to him?"

Shen Yun's face flushed red, "No! Mom, what are you saying!"

She was not that kind of casual girl; although Tian Fuguang had bought these things for her, she would not give herself away so easily.

Li Xuan, standing to the side, watched this scene coldly.

"Then why did you take his things?" Shen Mu practically wanted to strip the clothes off her body, but Shen Yun broke free.

"Mom! My old clothes already had several patches on them, and my shoes were too small and had holes in them too. If you could buy them for me, would I want someone else's?"

Did she think she didn't want to find a young partner?

Shen Mu was stunned for a moment, and in the end, she did not continue to act, just sitting on the bed in silence for quite a while.

Finally, she warned her, "Tian Fuguang is not the good person you think he is. Don't go out with him alone in the future, and you are not allowed to accept things he buys for you again, otherwise I will send you back to the village to get married!"

This sentence truly threatened Shen Yun; she did not want to marry a dirt-legged peasant.

She even felt that, by comparison, Tian Fuguang would be better.

Shen Mu changed into a different outfit, dressed herself to look a bit younger, and then pushed the door open and walked out.

After she left, Shen Yun immediately wanted to find a place to vent her anger, and she aimed her target at Li Xuan, "Are you laughing at me in your heart?"

Li Xuan shook her head.

"It wouldn't matter if you admitted it. Tian Fuguang said I am beautiful and that he likes me very much. Not only clothes and shoes, but he even bought me a gold bracelet. Look!"

Li Xuan looked at the gold bracelet with a forced smile, "Then you and him are quite a good deal, better than me and your brother; he has never bought me anything!"

Although Li Xuan's words somewhat belittled her own brother, Shen Yun felt it was not wrong.

"Men don't care about age, they only care about whether they have ability. If he took a fancy to you, wouldn't you be rushing to him?"

Li Xuan smiled silently.

If she were willing, could Tian Fuguang even take a fancy to Shen Yun?

She was just a joke jumping up and down; she only had Shen Lan in her heart, and she believed that Shen Lan would definitely let her live a good life.
