Chapter 462: What Kind of Surprise Could It Be?

"Yes, we are also going to the city."

Li Xuan felt a surge of joy, thinking that Ming Zi was finally willing to be kind for once and could give them a ride to the city along the way.

"Waiting for the bus?" Ming Zi curled her red lips, wanting to laugh the moment she thought about what she was going to do in a moment.

"Yes, I don't know what's wrong with the bus today, it hasn't come yet." Li Xuan said brazenly, "If you're also going to the city, could you give us a ride?"

"Not right now." Ming Zi put on her sunglasses and shook her head with disdain. "By the way, the bus seems to be broken. I saw them fixing it on the side of the road just now. If you're not in a hurry, wait here for a bit. I'm going to pick something up, then I'll come back to get you."

"Okay!" Li Xuan was very happy. Taking a crowded bus to the city was not only packed with people, but the conductor also had a bad attitude; riding in a car would be much faster.

It seemed that Ming Zi also knew there was hope now that she had found all the children back, and this was her plan to curry favor with her.

Shen Lan had dealt with this Ming Zi quite a bit when he was pursuing Si Rong before. He vaguely felt that Ming Zi wouldn't be so kind to them, but just now, Ming Zi had indeed said she would come back to pick them up later.

Forget it, let's wait and see.

Ming Zi didn't pick up anything while driving; she went straight to the city, just letting those two fools wait there.

The sky was a bit overcast today. After the two of them stood there for a while, they saw the bus heading to the city.

"The bus is here, let's take the bus!" Shen Lan said.

Li Xuan was unwilling. "Didn't Ming Zi say she would come back to pick us up later? If we leave by bus and meet her later, who knows how she'll gossip about us? Let's wait a bit longer, and besides, a car is much more comfortable to ride in than a bus."

The bus conductor stood at the door, her expression cold. "Are you getting on or not?"

Shen Lan gave an apologetic smile. "Sorry, we're not taking it."

"If you're not getting on, why are you blocking the bus? Are you sick in the head!"

The bus drove away, leaving them with a trail of exhaust and the words, "Sick in the head."

"Isn't she just a ticket seller? I don't know what she's acting so high and mighty for!"

Li Xuan chased after it for two steps. "Who cares about riding your bus? We have a car coming to pick us up later!"

But they waited for quite a while longer, and Ming Zi still didn't show up.

The sky was gloomy, and soon it began to drizzle with autumn rain.

It was already late autumn, and the drizzle felt chilly when it landed on people; Li Xuan shivered.

"Is that bitch playing us?" Shen Lan hunched his shoulders.

At this point, Li Xuan was also a bit uncertain. "That shouldn't be it, right? What benefit would she get from playing us?"

Both of them thought the same thing.

Actually, there was a benefit; after playing them, Ming Zi was in a great mood all the way to the city.

Even when discussing a partnership with a business associate, she had a smile on her lips, especially when she saw the rain; as long as she thought about those two fools possibly still standing there in the rain, she couldn't stop grinning.

"President Ming, you're in a very good mood today?"

"Mm, today is a good day."

After becoming drowned rats, Li Xuan and Shen Lan finally caught the next bus.

Before they even reached the hospital, they started sneezing one after another.

Fortunately, the test results were good; Liang Yu was indeed their biological daughter.

Li Xuan put the result in her pocket. "We'll take our daughter home as soon as we get back."

"Mm."

Shen Lan suddenly upgraded from being a father of one child to a father of three, and he immediately felt the burden on his shoulders become much heavier.

When they got back, they would have to work hard and down-to-earth to earn money to raise the children.

As long as the children could have a bright future, it didn't matter if he was tired.

On the way back, they went to the bus station to take the bus.

It just so happened that they boarded the same bus where the conductor had argued with them.

"Oh!" the female conductor, carrying a black leather bag, mocked. "Didn't you say there was a car coming to pick you up? Why are you still taking the bus!"

"The bus isn't yours; we'll ride it if we want to." Li Xuan retorted with a cold snort.

But in reality, she hated Ming Zi to death!

Years after parting, they had both become mothers, yet this Ming Zi was still so annoying.

For no reason, she had to play them like that; if she ever believed Ming Zi's words again, she was a dog!

Isn't it just a car?

She turned to Shen Lan and said, "In the future, we must also buy a car, so Ming Zi won't be so arrogant! And so these people won't look down on others!"

"What kind of daydreams are you having?" Shen Lan wouldn't waste time indulging her fantasies. "A car costs over two hundred thousand; even if we didn't eat or drink for a lifetime, we couldn't afford one!"

Li Xuan cared about face and was terrified that others would hear and look down on her. "How is it impossible? If Si Rong didn't rely on her maternal family, could she afford a car? If Ming Zi didn't rely on Si Rong, who knows where she'd be clinging to some rich man right now? As long as we can find a backer, we will definitely soar to the sky!"

She firmly believed that she was just having a run of bad luck.

"Besides, we have three children, which means three hopes; we will definitely be able to ride in a car in the future!"

Shen Lan didn't say anything more.

Now he no longer had such unrealistic fantasies; he just wanted to live a stable life.

Liang Yu was very happy to learn that she was indeed Li Xuan's biological daughter.

She snuggled into Li Xuan's arms. "Mom, I finally have my own home now."

"Yes, Mom has even bought a bed for you."

Liang Yu was pleasantly surprised; this was the first time someone had bought her a bed. "Really?"

Li Xuan felt very heartbroken. "Mm, Mom will pick you up and take you home tonight, okay?"

"Okay."

"You also have an older brother; we'll pick him up tonight too, and then you siblings can be reunited."

Liang Yu blinked her eyes, "Okay, from now on Xiao Yu will have a big brother and big sister, as well as a dad and mom."

For the entire afternoon, Liang Yu was very excited.

Li Xuan came to pick her and Shen Yuan up, "Let's go home first, and let your dad pick up Shen Chi."

Shen Chi? Liang Yu felt this name was somewhat familiar.

She thought for a moment, then suddenly raised her eyebrows slightly; could it really be such a coincidence?

But, fine.

Her romantic interest turning into her own brother—she wasn't afraid of awkwardness; as long as she wasn't awkward, then the awkward ones would be others.

If it were a normal person, they would certainly feel awkward and from then on keep the distance that siblings ought to have from Shen Chi.

But Liang Yu didn't want that; there lived a madman inside her heart.

How fun that would be!

If one day, Li Xuan and Shen Lan found out their son had fallen in love with their daughter, their expressions would surely be very spectacular, right?

"Sister, please take care of me from now on."

After Li Xuan went into the kitchen, Liang Yu greeted Shen Yuan obediently.

"Don't put on an act in front of me." Shen Yuan turned around in disgust.

"Then who do you like to put on an act in front of? Jiang Sinian? But I don't think he likes you," Liang Yu curled her lips, her smile playful.

The two looked at each other, the air thick with gunpowder.

On the other side, Shen Chi followed behind Shen Lan with great enthusiasm.

"You'll be able to see your big sister and little sister in a while, are you happy?" Shen Lan asked.

Shen Chi nodded, "Happy."

He was very much looking forward to everything in his new home; what kind of surprise would his dad and mom prepare for him?
