Chapter 480: Must Be Foolproof

~8 min read 1,415 words

"Then go die right now," Liang Yu laughed cruelly, "In this world, no one can threaten me."

She turned and left, without a shred of lingering attachment.

Shen Chi leaned against the wall, feeling as if something were slowly leaving his body.

Why was it that he could never keep the things he wanted?

In such a short time, he had lost his biological mother and the woman he loved most.

On the day high school started, Si Rong specially sent the two children to school herself.

She still had no intention of letting the two children—no, she had to count her daughter-in-law as well, making it three children in total—live in the dorms.

Hearing that Shen Yuan had also been admitted to First High, based on her erratic maneuvers in her past life, Si Rong dared not let her get too close to her own children.

This time, she directly bought a small villa near First High in advance, so there would be no need to worry about Shen Yuan hatching any crooked schemes again.

The house had been renovated long ago, and the odors had already dissipated.

Three children, three bedrooms; they could move in with just their bags.

Shen Yuan was not surprised that Jiang Yue was not living in the dorms; after all, in her past life, Si Rong had rented a house outside for the three of them.

Come to think of it, Shen Yuan also could not understand why Si Rong was so insistent on having Jiang Yue be her daughter-in-law.

Whether in terms of appearance, academic level, or any other aspect, she was no worse than Jiang Yue.

Even now, Si Rong's enemy, Li Xuan, was already dead.

Looking at the villa area from afar, Shen Yuan deeply realized the gap between herself and Si Rong.

They were both people who had lived a second life, so why was Si Rong living so much better than her?

Shen Yuan could not understand.

However, fortunately, this time she was assigned to the same class as Jiang Yue and Jiang Siyu.

As long as she looked slowly, she believed there would be plenty of opportunities.

But not even two days later, Jiang Siyu and Jiang Yue transferred classes.

Shen Yuan:...

Jiang Siyu was one thing, but Si Rong was protecting even Jiang Yue like this?

She was almost angered to the point of laughter.

The more Si Rong went to such lengths, the more it showed that Si Rong was wary of her, but Shen Yuan was not in a hurry; Si Rong couldn't possibly protect Jiang Yue day and night, right?

"Take your water cup!" Jiang Siyu reminded her. Because high school classes were long and they didn't live on campus, only eating lunch at school, they carried insulated cups with them every morning.

Jiang Yue listened to her and took her water cup, "Are we taking our water cups even to the restroom?"

Others might think they were going to the restroom to refill their water.

"Little Sister Yue, you are still too young," Jiang Siyu put on the posture of an older sister, "One should not have the heart to harm others, but one must have the heart to guard against them."

Then, on the way to the restroom, she told Jiang Yue about the time her mother told her about a water cup being drugged.

"Mom told me that if tea or water has left your sight, don't drink it again."

Jiang Yue did not know that such a thrilling thing had happened to Aunt Si Rong.

"Aunt Rong is right, then from now on, let's carry our water cups whenever we go to the restroom."

But in fact, Shen Yuan had no intention of making a move at school.

For one, at school, Jiang Yue and Jiang Siyu were as close as one person, and for another, even if she succeeded, it wouldn't be easy to spirit Jiang Yue away without anyone noticing.

Her plan was to do it outside of school.

Some time ago, she had re-established contact with those previous human traffickers.

Last time, her plan had been perfect, but because of those two idiots Li Xuan and Shen Lan, she had failed.

This time, it would definitely be foolproof.

As long as she patiently waited for an opportunity with the right time and place, Jiang Yue would disappear just as she wished.

Shen Dazhuang finally woke up.

The doctor had only been able to contact one of his daughters; the son seemed to say he had another father, or something like that—anyway, his family situation was very complicated, and the doctor couldn't quite figure it out for the time being.

Shen Xiangdi looked at Shen Dazhuang lying there, skin and bones; perhaps because he had been lying down for so long, some brown age spots had crawled onto his face, and he looked much older.

Her mood was very complicated for a moment.

But in truth, this man had always been very tall in her impression, so tall that just by raising his palm in front of her, he could make her tremble with fear.

"Your father, he..." the nurse was just about to explain some things.

She saw the young girl raise her hand and slap the patient across the face, and was instantly dumbfounded.

It was the nurse's first time seeing a family member 'take care' of a patient like this, knocking the patient's oxygen mask askew.

"How could you..."

Before she could question her, the girl slapped him again before looking at her.

"Big sister, I'm sorry. I grew up being beaten by him like this. While he can't move now, I'm taking my revenge first."

The young nurse:...

Ah, if that's the case, then well slapped.

Shen Dazhuang's eyes were wide, very wide; he was furious.

This damn girl actually dared to slap him; it was truly a rebellion.

But his body wouldn't cooperate; he couldn't sit up at all.

He could only lie there and let out bursts of angry roars.

She scolded Wang Dani, who stood to the side watching like a dead person without moving.

"Are you dead? Manage... you don't even know how to manage your daughter,"

Wang Dani wanted to manage her, but she was born without a mind of her own; now that such a huge change had occurred and she didn't have a single cent in her hands, and with Laidi and Pan Di nowhere to be seen, if she offended this youngest daughter too, who else would take care of them?

Therefore, she could only lower her head and say nothing.

"Do you still think it's like before?" Shen Xiangdi sneered, "My eldest sister and second sister really should come back and see what you look like now."

"Weren't you treasuring someone else's son? What? Now that you're paralyzed in bed, you know to come looking for me?"

"I'm telling you, there's no money! You can just suffer through it yourself!"

Shen Xiangdi said bitterly.

Seeing her daughter's resentful gaze, Shen Dazhuang couldn't help but recall the past; when he was still strong and his daughter was still small, she had a high fever and a cough, but he took the money to gamble instead of buying medicine for her, and he suddenly felt guilty.

But, but their situations were different; it was very normal for a child to have a cold or cough, which child doesn't get sick?

If he doesn't get treatment now, his lower body will be paralyzed.

To think that he, Shen Dazhuang, although he never achieved great wealth or status in his life, was still an upright man.

If he were to be paralyzed in bed, what would he do in the future?

Even this dead girl, whom he had never looked at with any regard since she was small, dared to hit him now.

Shen Dazhuang suddenly felt fear in his heart; if he were truly paralyzed, would the relationship between him and his children be reversed?

How could that be allowed?

"I, no matter what, we didn't abandon you, we even raised you to adulthood..." Wang Dani muttered.

Shen Xiangdi found a chair and sat down, "Look at how scared you are; no matter what, we are a family, I won't ignore you."

She would just let them experience the life she lived when she was small.

"Right, did I not tell you yet? There is news about the second sister."
