Chapter 490: The Grand Finale (Part 1)

Sensing danger is one of the instincts humans have evolved.

While Si Rong was squatting on the ground picking out vegetables, she felt someone staring at her.

Immediately, she stood up and decided not to buy vegetables, turning to walk into a small shop by the side of the road.

A huge roaring sound erupted behind her, and Si Rong ran into the small alley next to the shop almost instinctively.

A small sedan crashed into the shop with a 'Crack!'.

This area was all old neighborhoods, and the sedan also snapped a roof beam, so the house collapsed directly.

Fortunately, the shop owner and her daughter were both standing outside the door talking to someone, so there were no casualties, except for Liang Yu.

Just as she had wished when she was ten, she died at eighteen.

Half of the shop building had collapsed, and the sedan was buried inside; it took several hours to dig it out with an excavator.

Because the sedan belonged to Mother Li, and Liang Yu was Mother Li's daughter-in-law, the shop could only demand compensation from Mother Li.

Mother Li accepted her fate and paid the money, filled with immense regret; had she known this woman would turn their Li family upside down, she never should have agreed to let her son marry this jinx in the first place.

Unfortunately, it was all too late now.

……

Si Rong had nightmares for two nights in a row; she could not understand why that Liang Yu would drive a car to hit her.

Just because she had not agreed to her being with Si Nian back then? But any mother would not allow a woman with impure motives to be with her son.

Liang Yu was like that, and so was Shen Chi.

In this regard, she had done nothing wrong.

If she had had a momentary lapse in judgment back then and run into the shop, she would have lost her life by now.

Jiang Cheng took a week off to stay with her and help her work through her trauma.

"Don't think about it anymore; she has already reaped what she sowed."

Jiang Cheng felt some regret; in fact, the time Liang Yu schemed against their son, he had wanted to use some private influence to send Liang Yu to a mental hospital, which was why he had said that people who were mentally unstable should stay in places for the unstable.

But later, when he saw that Liang Yu had married, and she had no further connection with their family, Jiang Cheng dropped that idea.

Who would have thought she would almost kill his wife.

The key was that there had been no warning beforehand, and he could understand the fear in Si Rong's heart.

Ming Zi would also come to keep Si Rong company when she was free, and she dragged the already deceased Li Xuan out to scold her fiercely once again.

"It really is like father, like son; the son of a rat will dig holes. Even though this Li Xuan is dead, she's like a ghost that won't go away, as if she's not dead at all!"

"None of the cubs she gave birth to or raised are good things; every single one of them is a home-wrecker! If she wanted to die, she should have just died, but she had to make people sick before she went!"

"It's a good thing she's dead; if she weren't, I would have gone to kill her myself!"

Amidst Ming Zi's incessant cursing, Si Rong slowly fell asleep.

In her dream, she returned to her university days.

Because a roommate was in poor health and had suspended her studies, the three of them lived in one dormitory.

Every morning when they woke up, they would wash up together, eat breakfast together, and then go to the dance studio to practice dancing together.

On their birthdays, Ming Zi and Li Xuan, whose families were in dire straits, both gave her the best gifts within their means.

Ming Zi gave her a fountain pen, which she had treasured ever since.

Li Xuan gave her a red scarf, the kind she herself couldn't bear to buy.

Regardless of whether it was genuine or fake, Si Rong also helped them within her own capabilities.

Sometimes when her two older brothers or her parents came to see her and brought her food, she would share it with both of them.

And clothes—worried that they wouldn't accept them if she bought them new ones, Si Rong would give them her own clothes to wear, calling it "swapping clothes."

She thought that sincerity could always be exchanged for sincerity.

The three of them were to be best friends for a lifetime; in the dream, she had truly gotten her wish.

Unfortunately, upon waking, her heart was filled with melancholy; it turned out the ancients had long ago summarized what she had experienced into a single phrase.

Great kindness is great enmity.

That was why Li Xuan hated her so much, and why the children Li Xuan raised also hated her.

But now, they were all gone, and all the grievances of the past should leave with them.

The companies under Si Rong's name were now all on the right track and did not require too much of her effort.

When Jiang Cheng was free, the two of them traveled across the vast and beautiful landscape of their motherland.

By the time they were forty-five, their son Jiang Sinian proposed to Jiang Yue.

"Jiang Yue, I've liked you for a very, very long time. Will you marry me?"

Jiang Sinian knelt on one knee with a serious expression, while his younger sister Jiang Siyu stood to the side, being critical and saying his kneeling posture wasn't standard.

Jiang Sinian:...

His romantic life with Jiang Yue had been quite bumpy, and this sole obstacle was named Jiang Siyu.

"Fu Yang, control your girlfriend!" Jiang Sinian commanded Fu Yang, assuming the posture of a brother-in-law.

Fu Yang smiled helplessly; how could he dare to control his girlfriend?

He still knew who was in charge.

"Alright, alright," Jiang Yue had long since grown accustomed to smoothing things over between the siblings, "I agree, get up quickly."

It was better to have his own girlfriend; Jiang Sinian stood up hurriedly, "You really agreed? Then let's get married as soon as possible!"

"Ah? So fast? I still have an experiment in the lab recently." Jiang Yue had agreed so quickly precisely because she was afraid he would delay her from going to the lab to do experiments later.

"Pfft~" Jiang Siyu couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Yueyue, you're right. We modern women should be like this, putting work first."

"In this world, it's hard to find a three-legged toad, but there are plenty of two-legged men."

Fu Yang immediately felt that his girlfriend was targeting him and hurriedly stated his position, "Juzi, I won't rush you to get married. I will respect you. Such an important matter must be based on your wishes. We aren't in a hurry; we'll get married whenever you want to."

Jiang Sinian:...

He was truly speechless; were these two really his own sister and brother-in-law?

Why were they always siding with outsiders?

It was precisely because some guy had been trying to pursue Jiang Yue that he was so impatient to get married quickly and stake his claim.

His original intention was to have these two come and cheer him on, not to have them come and stir up trouble!

Jiang Sinian could not help but ask again that question he had asked himself a hundred times: why on earth did such an annoying thing as twins exist in this world!!!

"Yueyue, I respect you too, but I feel that those who don't want to get married and only want to date don't love each other enough; they are leaving themselves an escape route, and who knows when they might meet someone better and change their hearts immediately."

"I don't mean to insinuate anything about others," Jiang Sinian stared at Jiang Yue affectionately, "but I am different from those people; I am very certain that no matter how many people I meet in this life, I only want you."
