Chapter 429: I Want a Divorce

Without waiting for Si Rong to answer, Shen Lan had already continued, "You don't have to hide it from me; I already know everything."

"I also already know that we were husband and wife in our past life."

The look in his eyes as he watched Si Rong was so full of affection, just as if he were looking at his own wife.

"So, you chose Jiang Cheng now—is he better than me?"

Shen Lan did not believe it.

What was so good about Jiang Cheng? Wasn't it just that his family background was a little better than his, his face was a little more handsome, and he was a high-ranking official in the military? Besides that, in what way was he stronger than him?

"Of course, he is a thousand times, ten thousand times better than you," Si Rong answered without hesitation. "There is simply no comparison between you two."

Shen Lan felt as if his heart were about to shatter.

But Si Rong only found it laughable watching him; this person Shen Lan was simply born to be base. In her past life, she helped him manage his career and took care of the household for him, yet he had an affair with Li Xuan behind her back.

In this life, she married Jiang Cheng, yet he put on a hypocritical act, as if he loved her so much.

"Shen Lan, don't you find yourself ridiculous?" Si Rong's gaze was sharp. "Actually, you are selfish to the extreme and don't love anyone at all. The reason you look so regretful now is just because I didn't fall into the trap you designed, and you didn't get to take advantage of me."

Shen Lan's lips were pressed tightly together; after a long while, he said, "No, I have a way to prove that my love for you is true."

"Shen Yuan and Li Xuan want to do you harm; you must be careful in everything."

Did this mean he loved Si Rong?

She had thought Si Rong would be very moved, but unexpectedly, she saw that Si Rong remained unmoved. "You should be the one advising them to be careful in everything."

She was already prepared; furthermore, with Li Xuan's brain, even if she knew what happened in the past life, she wouldn't be able to come up with any normal plan.

Even with Bai Mo added to the mix, she was not afraid.

"Babies, we're going home!" Si Rong called out to the two children, taking one by the hand in each of hers as she walked in the direction of home.

Shen Lan stood in place for a long time; it wasn't until night fell that he went home.

There was no food at home, only cold pots and a cold stove.

Shen Mu sat with her legs crossed, waiting for Li Xuan to cook dinner. She was the mother-in-law and an elder; if Li Xuan didn't serve her, it was disrespectful.

Li Xuan was also no longer the Li Xuan of the past; now her heart was entirely filled with thoughts of how to make Si Rong disappear, and she couldn't feel hunger at all.

"I've thought about it; now, if we want to deal with Si Rong, we can only rely on outside help," Li Xuan discussed with her daughter, not hiding it from Shen Lan.

After all, Shen Lan was on their side now; no one thought they should be on guard against him.

So, very quickly, Si Rong learned the news that Li Xuan and her daughter were planning to kidnap her.

Uh:...

Truly incorrigible.

Shen Lan asked her persistently, "Do you believe now that I truly love you?"

"Get lost and die." This was Si Rong's answer to him.

However, regarding the matter of Li Xuan planning to kidnap her, Si Rong quickly thought of a countermeasure.

Actually, the information Shen Lan passed on was incorrect—not that he did it intentionally, but because he lacked patience; he only heard half of it and was already impatient to go and claim credit with Si Rong.

And Shen Yuan had a flash of inspiration and thought of a better way to take revenge on Si Rong...

This vicious woman had obstructed her and Jiang Sinian in their past life; just letting her die was too easy on her.

"It's really too easy on him!" Ming Zi was complaining to Si Rong about Wang Jie's husband. "What a piece of trash! Gambling, drinking, chasing women, and he still has the nerve to come to the factory to ask Wang Jie for money!"

"He went to our factory?" Si Rong raised an eyebrow. "Didn't cause any trouble, did he?"

"No! He drank some cat piss, wanted to show off as a big spender in front of his buddies, and the moment his claws reached out in front of Wang Jie, they were broken by her."

"However, that dead man called the police, and now Wang Jie is being detained."

Si Rong:...

"Why didn't you get to the point?" Si Rong was anxious. "Take the factory's lawyer, let's go bail Wang Jie out."

But Wang Jie didn't need them to bail her out; she was already familiar with all the procedures for detention due to domestic violence.

She went in, apologized as soon as she saw the police, then started crying and wailing, lamenting her unfortunate life, and finally emphasized how much she loved her husband.

It was just that because her husband was too unreasonable, the two of them got into a fight, and in her haste, she accidentally injured him; she was very regretful now, and so on.

And she promised that she would never hit her husband again.

"She promised the same thing last time," Wang Jie's husband hid behind the police and accused. "Don't believe her."

As it turned out, the last time she returned home, this woman had beaten him half to death again.

Si Rong:...

For some reason, this couple was not quite the same as the domestic violence scenes she had seen.

It was kind of satisfying.

"Forget it, since your wife has already realized her mistake and promised not to hit you again, you should just go back and live a good life with her!"

"That's right, Wang Jie is a good woman, honest and hardworking; don't be ungrateful for the blessings you have," the female police officer advised. Usually, these words were used to advise men, but using them to advise a woman now felt just right.

"She broke my hand! This is a crime!" The man held up his pair of broken palms for the officers to see. "I won't forgive her! You can't let her out!"

"This comrade, please don't be alarmist; this is just domestic violence, don't make a fuss. She doesn't have any other flaws. As a man, for the sake of the children, for the sake of this home, you should just endure it!"

The man:...

Such familiar rhetoric; it seemed that when he used to beat his wife, this was how everyone advised him.

It was simply turning the world upside down! How could it be reversed!

"I want a divorce!" The man suddenly realized; if he didn't divorce today, there would definitely be another beating waiting for him. He really had enough!

What did the home have to do with him? Now his parents had to get beaten along with him.

The children weren't even born by him, forget it, forget it.

"What did you say?" Wang Jie was furious; she walked toward her husband step by step, then raised her hand and fiercely slapped him across the face. "I love you so much, how could you say something like divorce?"

Another slap, Wang Jie touched her own chest with her left hand, "Do you know how much my heart hurts?"

The man was stunned by the blow.

"Wuu wuu, look, everyone," he hurriedly hid behind a police officer again, "What are you all standing there for? She dares to hit me inside the Public Security Bureau; she'll beat me to death when we get home! I want a divorce!"

"Don't even think about it! I will not agree to it," Wang Jie said again, "Actually, if you think about it carefully, I love you very much; otherwise, why would I only hit you and not anyone else?"

Everyone:...
