Chapter 414: Jiang Zhi Is Coming

Hearing her say this, Shen Yuan knew she wanted to ask about that matter again.

However, since she was now Shen Yuan, she did not want to go into detail about her past life's identity.

Otherwise, if Li Xuan knew that her own children from the past life had died miserably after caring for her so devotedly, it would be inevitable that she, like others, would treat her as a jinx.

"Mom," Shen Yuan held her hand and looked her straight in the eye, "I know what you want to hear, and you know I have always been unwilling to say it, but I can tell you that in our past life, we were very close."

"When the time is right, I will naturally tell you everything you should know."

This point was indeed beyond Li Xuan's expectations.

Back then in Yunchuan, after she learned the news of her daughter's death, she had picked up this abandoned girl from the side of the road in a state of despair.

How could there be such a connection that they were actually extremely close in their past lives?

But Li Xuan could not guess what kind of relationship it was for the moment.

Since Shen Yuan was unwilling to say, it was useless for her to force it now.

She hugged Shen Yuan, "Then Mom will wait for the day you are willing to tell me."

Soon, the day of the midterm exam arrived.

Shen Yuan was the first to hand in her paper; she knew many gazes were focused on her, so her posture became even more elegant and proper.

Jiang Siyu curled her lips; even an exam could not stop her from whispering to her deskmate, Jiang Yue.

"Look at that smug look of hers! As if she's already taken first place!"

"Little Sister Yue, have you finished the questions? Is the first one a checkmark?"

"Little Sister Yue, are you mute? Why aren't you saying anything?"

Jiang Yue stretched out her finger and pointed to her side.

Jiang Siyu turned her head to look and saw it was Huang Laoshi, so she immediately shut her mouth, not daring to say another word.

After handing in the papers, the classroom was extremely lively.

The students were all discussing the exam paper they had just finished, and what was most controversial was one of the questions.

It was about distributing bananas to little monkeys.

The answers were simply all over the place.

"Let's go ask Shen Yuan!" Xiao Pang suggested.

Han Jiajia immediately retorted, "What's the use of asking her? She's not a Child Prodigy!"

"Jiang Sinian, what is your answer?"

After Jiang Sinian finished speaking, Han Jiajia immediately said, "I think what you wrote is correct."

Shen Yuan happened to walk in at this moment, and her answer was different from Jiang Sinian's.

That is to say, the answer of one of them must be wrong.

The shadow of answering questions on stage during the last program recording was still there; the one who was right back then was Jiang Sinian, but what about this time?

"Of course my brother's is right!" Jiang Siyu said immediately, "He is the smartest!"

He is a twin with her, after all.

At home, the two of them might bicker and fight, but once they were outside, they naturally still had to defend each other.

"Then let's make a bet!" Ever since Xiao Pang bullied Shen Yuan last time, but Shen Yuan still brought him crispy noodles, he had become Shen Yuan's little follower, "I bet Shen Yuan is first place!"

"I bet my brother is first place!" Jiang Siyu pulled on Jiang Yue's arm, "Little Sister Yue, you believe my brother is first place just like me, right?"

Jiang Yue nodded without hesitation.

"Little fatty, what do you want to bet?"

Xiao Pang had always been simple-minded, and at this moment, he was a bit carried away by his sycophancy, "If I bet wrong, I'll eat shit for you all to see!"

This bet was a bit too big.

Although Jiang Siyu was willing to defend her brother when out and about, she really could not bring herself to eat shit.

"If I lose the bet, then I'll buy you ten bags of crispy noodles, okay?"

Fortunately, although Xiao Pang was a sycophant, he also loved eating crispy noodles, so he agreed.

Regardless of age, everyone loves to watch the excitement and doesn't mind if things get big.

For example, the students in the Yuhong Class all hoped in their hearts that Jiang Sinian would be first place and Shen Yuan would not.

Because if Jiang Siyu bought ten bags of crispy noodles, they wouldn't be able to eat them, but if Xiao Pang ate dog shit, they would be able to watch a spectacle.

It would definitely be very entertaining!

Unfortunately, no matter how much they looked forward to the exam results, they would have to wait until next Monday to know.

On the way back, Jiang Siyu was still very excited, "Brother, I hope you can live up to expectations and take first place; I want to see Xiao Pang eat shit!"

"Little Sister Yue, do you want to see it?"

Jiang Yue:...

She did want to see it, but the matter of first place—did you and Xiao Pang just decide it between the two of you?

Is it that casual?

Could it not be someone else?

But doubts aside, Jiang Yue naturally also very much wanted to see Xiao Pang perform eating shit.

She had grown up this big and had never seen a person eat shit.

"I really hope it's Monday soon!" Jiang Siyu tilted her head.

On this ordinary Sunday, an extraordinary thing happened.

The daughter of the Jiang Family who had been abroad for several years was coming back.

When Hu Qian called Si Rong, she was accompanying the two children to read storybooks.

"Your sister said she wants to see you and the two children."

"Fine, then I'll go in a while."

Si Rong had already obtained her driver's license and bought a classic Santana.

After giving Wang Ma a few instructions, Si Rong took the two children back to the Jiang Family.

Then she discovered that Nainai was also there; she raised an eyebrow, for although she did not have much contact with Jiang Qi, she knew that the person Jiang Qi hated most was likely this Nainai of the Jiang Family.

Why was she the one who had to come today?

She felt this did not seem like something Hu Qian would do, so she asked in a low voice, "Mom, did you bring Nainai here?"

Hu Qian shook her head, "Who would want to bring her? She was the one making a fuss about a sore waist and making the second son bring her to Huaiyang to see a doctor; it was just a coincidence."

"It might not even be a real sore waist; I reckon your eldest aunt scolded her again, and she probably doesn't want to go back for a while. Just now I heard her pestering your dad, wanting to stay at our house for a few days."

Si Rong sighed.

They say even an honest official finds it hard to settle family disputes; for a moment, it was impossible to say who was right and who was wrong.

Just as Si Rong expected, Jiang Qi's expression immediately turned sour when she returned home and saw Nainai.

However, no one had the time to observe such details, because everyone's attention was on Jiang Qi's belly.

She had returned with a large, protruding belly, and her complexion was extremely haggard.

The first to flare up was Nainai; the old lady jumped three feet high, leapt up, and immediately slapped herself, instantly stunning everyone in the room.

Even though Si Rong knew that Nainai had always been an eccentric, this move of jumping up to hit herself was something she was seeing for the first time.

It was evident that Nainai was indeed very angry at this moment.

And what was comical was that Jiang Sinian suddenly started laughing "ga-ga," and as siblings are connected at heart, as soon as he laughed, Jiang Siyu followed suit.

Actually, Si Rong also wanted to laugh, but she held it back and gave the two little ones a proper scolding.

"You are not allowed to laugh at Nainai!"

"But isn't Nainai performing acrobatics?" Jiang Sinian questioned, "If we don't laugh, Nainai will be sad."

Nainai:...

If anyone else had said this, she would have performed it again, but since it was her most cherished little great-grandson who said it, she would let it slide.

"Disgraceful and shameful! Disgraceful and shameful! Jiang Qi, how could you do such a shameful thing? You came back with a big belly without being married; you have truly lost all the face of our Jiang Family!"

Si Rong's gaze landed on Jiang Qi's belly, and a sense of intimacy spontaneously arose.

She felt a sense of finality in her heart; it was Jiang Zhi, Jiang Zhi was coming into this world.
