Chapter 443: Is This True Love?

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Sinian ran off in the opposite direction.

Although he was a boy, and although he had practiced Military Boxing since he was young so that two or three ordinary people were no match for him.

But if he got hurt, his mother would be sad.

Therefore, it was better to be safe.

Jiang Sinian ran to a shop and told the owner that some bad people were bullying a female classmate over there, then took a fifty-cent coin out of his pocket and started calling the police.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Liang Yu was still waiting for Jiang Sinian to hear her cries for help and come to save her.

These few hoodlums were all people she had found herself.

Back when she was in Yunchuan, she had always hung out with such bad classmates, and now that she had transferred to Huaiyang, perhaps because like attracts like, she had quickly gotten to know a few more people like that.

"You don't need to grab so tightly," Liang Yu instructed one of them, "just put on a show..."

Jiang Sinian had clearly not been far from her just a moment ago, so why hadn't he come over yet?

She waited a while longer, but Jiang Sinian still hadn't come.

Liang Yu:...

"Let go of that girl!" A middle-aged uncle rushed over holding a kitchen knife.

His wife held a rolling pin in her hand; it was clear they were in the middle of cooking and had rushed over to save someone on the spur of the moment.

Liang Yu:...

The hoodlums were speechless and fled in a panic, thinking Liang Yu had been playing them for fools; one of them even threatened her before leaving, "You just wait!"

"Don't run! Stop!" Hearing the sound of police sirens, the shop owner was exceptionally valiant.

Because the police happened to be patrolling nearby, none of the three hoodlums managed to escape and were all taken to the public security bureau together.

Liang Yu was also taken to the public security bureau along with them.

Damn it, who called the police?

Originally, according to her plan, it should have been like this.

She, a weak girl, would be bullied by hoodlums, then Jiang Sinian would play the hero saving the beauty, and finally, she would naturally express her gratitude to Jiang Sinian, and the two of them would logically become friends.

But why was the result completely different from what she had imagined?

Unable to make contact with Jiang Sinian as she had wished, Liang Yu had no choice but to continue targeting Jiang Siyu.

No one noticed that while she used the guise of friendship, her true goal was actually Jiang Sinian.

But Shen Yuan noticed.

From the first day Liang Yu transferred, she hadn't liked this girl.

Although she acted carefree and even called the male classmates "brother" directly, she just felt hostile toward this girl.

It was as if she would snatch something away from her in the future.

Through her management over these past few years, she had already maintained a good relationship with Jiang Sinian.

Jiang Sinian was even more dazzling than in her previous life; rather than guarding against others, it would be better to seize the time to establish a relationship with Jiang Sinian.

As long as she didn't repeat the mistakes of her previous life in this one, they would surely be happy for a lifetime.

Even if Si Rong was unwilling in her heart, she would have to accept her as a daughter-in-law.

The fruits of Si Rong's life of struggle would all be hers as well.

Her birthday was coming up soon, and Shen Yuan decided to hint for Jiang Sinian to confess his feelings to her on that day.

She felt that there was only a thin layer of window paper between them, and it just needed to be poked through.

Now she and Li Xuan were renting a small courtyard; these years after leaving Shen Lan, the mother and daughter had relied on each other for survival.

After that incident where she was abducted, Li Xuan feared Si Rong from the bottom of her heart; after finally recognizing Si Rong's ruthlessness and terror, she had instead become well-behaved.

She honestly listened to Shen Yuan and sold stationery near the school, and the income was decent.

Shen Yuan estimated that she had saved up some money, so she prepared to ask her for some to buy a beautiful dress to wear for her birthday.

Buying that kind of white princess dress would only match Jiang Sinian, who wore a white shirt.

"Mom, give me some money!"

Usually, Li Xuan was quite generous to this daughter, after all, her daughter was very smart.

But now, she didn't just have a daughter, she also had a son, and her son liked to wear designer brands, yet there was only so much money.

"Didn't you just buy clothes last month?" Li Xuan didn't want to give it, "Don't buy any more; you should focus on your studies now and strive to get into a good high school!"

Shen Yuan felt something was wrong, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, Mom is fine," Li Xuan blinked with a guilty conscience.

"You wouldn't be," Shen Yuan guessed, "you wouldn't be trying to find me a stepfather, would you?"

"What nonsense are you talking about, child," Li Xuan hurriedly took fifty yuan from her pocket and gave it to her, "Here, take it."

"Mom wants you to learn to be diligent and thrifty; there are more people doing business now, and it's not as easy to make money as before," Li Xuan started rambling, "And you don't have a father, so of course our mother and daughter have to save some money..."

"But I see that the goods you wholesale are almost all sold out," Shen Yuan naturally didn't believe her.

Making her save money definitely meant spending it on someone else elsewhere.

Seeing Li Xuan remain silent, she said again, "I know, I will save money, it's just that my birthday is coming up, and Mom, you used to remember."

These words made Li Xuan feel a brief moment of guilt, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mom has just been too busy lately; how about Mom orders a cake for you on your birthday?"

"Okay." Shen Yuan knew when to stop.

Too busy; if the time wasn't spent on her, it must have been spent on someone else.

She began to quietly keep an eye on Li Xuan, wanting to see what kind of messy person she had hooked up with again.

Jiang Family.

Si Rong also discovered her son's changes; the boy who used to be unkempt now knew how to coordinate his clothes when going out, and his shoes weren't as dirty as they used to be from playing soccer.

When things are abnormal, there must be a demon.

This kind of budding romance, while beautiful, has a fatal weakness.

After dinner.

Si Rong lay on Jiang Cheng's lap reading a book, the couple chatting about daily life.

"Jiang Cheng, tell me, what is liking someone?"

Although the two children had their eyes fixed on the television, Si Rong knew their little ears must have already pricked up.

As for being teased, thirty-seven-year-old Jiang Cheng found it quite enjoyable.

His lowered gaze was doting, "Liking someone should be about where your eyes land! No matter the time, you want to see her, think of her..."

"Then tell me, if a conflict arises, what should people who like each other do?"

"Wife, I believe it is always my fault," Jiang Cheng said hurriedly, thinking he had done something wrong again, "Between us, there will never be any conflict."

If there is, it is his fault.

Si Rong pinched his thigh, then raised an eyebrow to signal that the two children were present.

Sometimes the best education for children is not a straightforward lecture, but the casual conversation between two parents.

"People will always have conflicts; if there are no conflicts, it is only because one person is compromising and forcing themselves to completely obey the other. Do you call that true love?"
