Chapter 394: It Was Me Who Reported You

Just as Ming Zi decided to step out and turn the tables, ready to give Shen Lan that piece of garbage a good scolding.

With a "Meow," a black cat darted past them.

"Little thing, come here," Shen Lan said, squatting there, "I saw you just now; I'll give you something to eat."

He pulled a handful of something from his pocket, and the kitten eagerly crowded over, wanting to eat.

In that instant, Si Rong's scalp suddenly went numb; based on her two lifetimes of understanding of this scoundrel Shen Lan, he was planning to...

"Stop!"

Si Rong stood out from behind the tree and shouted to stop him.

Shen Lan looked in shock at Si Rong and Ming Zi, who had suddenly appeared before him; he slowly loosened the two hands he had placed on the cat's neck, and the black cat ran off with a meow.

"You, you...!"

"You were going to kill the kitten?" Ming Zi jumped out, looking very shocked, "Shen Lan, you cutthroat, you really are capable of any evil!"

Shen Lan still wanted to go into the Black Market to sell rat poison, so he didn't want to bicker with them right now.

"What does it have to do with you?"

Yet he felt a bit afraid to look at Si Rong, even though in his fantasies yesterday, he had imagined that after he made money, Si Rong would look at him differently.

But now, if he were really forced to sell rat poison in the Black Market in front of Si Rong, he inexplicably felt a bit ashamed.

Ming Zi didn't intend to argue with him right now; she snorted coldly and dragged Si Rong away.

Once they were out of sight of Shen Lan, she said, "Why did you suddenly run out? If we get caught later, Shen Lan will definitely guess it was us!"

"If I hadn't gone out, that kitten would have been killed by him; I don't even know if what he was feeding the kitten was rat poison."

As the two of them were talking, a little black cat meowed and walked over to Si Rong's side, occasionally rubbing its head affectionately against her ankles.

It reminded her of Xiao Bai from her previous life.

Si Rong squatted down and picked it up into her arms; the kitten didn't resist at all.

"Forget it, let him know if he wants to!" Ming Zi saw two Red Armbands run into the alley, her eyes lighting up, "Let's go take a look!"

Si Rong held the kitten and followed behind Ming Zi; by the time they jogged over, the Red Armbands had already pinned Shen Lan to the ground.

Small bottles containing rat poison were scattered all over the ground, and Shen Lan was opening his mouth in a flustered attempt to explain, "I, I wasn't selling anything! This rat poison was all made for my relatives to use!"

"For relatives to use? Even if you wanted to poison your relatives, you wouldn't need this much, would you?"

The Red Armband spat coldly at him, "You're already caught and you still want to lie to your grandpa here! Looking for a beating, are you?"

"Then why don't you go into the Black Market and catch people there?" Shen Lan wanted to drag more people down with him, thinking that the law wouldn't punish the masses, "Why don't you catch them and only catch me?"

"When the time comes to catch them, not a single one of them will escape!"

As the Red Armband was hauling Shen Lan away, he happened to run into Ming Zi and Si Rong; he recalled the two of them hiding behind the big tree earlier and immediately broke down, shouting, "Si Rong! It was you who reported me! Have you really forgotten the affection between us?"

"Affection your mother!" Ming Zi rushed over and gave him a punch, "It was me who reported you! Don't drag Rongrong into this!"

She changed her expression when facing the two Red Armbands, "Two handsome brothers, you must punish this man properly; not only is he engaging in speculation and profiteering, but to make his rat poison sell better, he was even killing innocent, poor little kittens!"

"Are you even human? Killing even a kitten?" One of the men kicked Shen Lan as soon as he heard this, "Wait until we get back, I'll deal with you properly!"

Shen Lan was furious; once he got out, he would definitely not let that bitch Ming Zi off!

"Nya-nya-nya! Serves you right!" Ming Zi made a face at Shen Lan's back.

Si Rong:...

She was a little worried about the look in Shen Lan's eyes when he turned around just now.

"Are you busy these days?"

Ming Zi shook her head, "It's alright, I usually only need to stay up half the night to finish translating a day's worth of manuscripts."

"Then in a few days, I'll find someone for you to learn a few moves of Military Boxing, so you don't have to worry about Shen Lan coming after you later."

"Ah, okay."

Ming Zi realized belatedly that she had been too arrogant today, but because of Li Xuan, there had long been conflict between them.

In any case, learning some Military Boxing wouldn't hurt.

"Come back to my place," Ming Zi said, "I bought two outfits for the two little ones for you to take back and try, and then we can go to the State-run Hotel to eat small wontons, how about that?"

"Fine."

The little outfits Ming Zi bought were long-sleeved, one red and one blue.

"They're quite nice!" Si Rong touched the fabric, feeling that it couldn't have been cheap.

"That's right, don't you see who bought them for them?" Ming Zi crossed her arms, acting proud.

"Of course, they were bought by their dearest godmother!"

As the two were laughing and talking, they saw Li Xuan; she was holding a child in her arms, wrapped in a small blanket, and the face couldn't be seen clearly.

The house Ming Zi lived in now was on the same street as Li Xuan and the others anyway, so seeing Li Xuan was a common occurrence.

Just like before, she had originally rolled her eyes, not intending to pay any attention to Li Xuan, but Li Xuan walked slowly toward them with an inexplicably smug look on her face.

Now that Shen Lan could earn money, their lives would only get better and better, and she could finally stand tall in front of Si Rong.

"Finished with the baby, are you out of your confinement period?"

Li Xuan showed them her daughter, "Now that the child is bigger, we can bring her out to play together; let's not let the grudges of the older generation affect the next one, Si Rong, don't you think?"

"If the grudges of the older generation aren't resolved, they naturally turn into generational feuds; if your daughter happens to have as many schemes and calculations as you, it would truly be impossible to guard against."

Li Xuan stomped her foot in anger, and the child in her arms almost fell.

"Si Rong! Stop acting so high and mighty! I'm telling you, Shen Lan can earn quite a bit of money now; Huaiyang isn't just wealthy because of your Si Family!"

"Then congratulations; I hope you'll still be able to see him come home tonight."

Si Rong said this coldly and then turned to leave with Ming Zi.

Coming to show off in front of her—she could just wait to cry tonight.

Li Xuan was stunned, "What do you mean by that?"

Could it be that now that Si Rong sees Shen Lan making money, she wants to snatch Shen Lan from her?

"The person Shen Lan loves in his heart is me, and we even have a pair of boy-girl twins, so it's useless even if you try to seduce him!"

Shen Yuan:...

Being a baby is truly too painful; she only hates that she cannot curse people out.

This Li Xuan is just too stupid!

Yesterday she was already worried that Shen Lan would run into trouble going to the Black Market to sell rat poison, and today, sure enough, trouble happened.

Instead of thinking of a way to get him out, she is actually still here worrying about someone else snatching her man.

She simply has no brains at all.

Shen Yuan is not exactly that worried about the two of them; she is mainly worried that she won't be able to live a good life.

In her past life, Bai Jia Fumu spoiled her like a little princess, but in this life, sigh, it looks like she is about to suffer.

She only hopes she can start speaking soon so she can give them a pointer or two.

That night, Shen Lan indeed did not return.
