Chapter 94: Sharing a Room
Si Rong has a habit of biting her chopsticks when she is thinking about things.
She had actually thought about this question before.
But she hadn't come up with any particular conclusion.
Living anywhere is fine; she isn't an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl who still needs to put on airs.
Besides, there is no real need.
They will be married one month after the engagement.
Furthermore, living at the Jiang Family is quite comfortable; their family members aren't very skilled at mahjong, yet they love to play.
They are terrible at it but love to play anyway.
"I would like to live at your home; what is Division Commander Jiang's opinion?"
She also asked politely.
Hearing the answer he wanted, the corners of Jiang Cheng's mouth curled up, and he simply couldn't suppress it even if he tried.
"It is your home, too."
It is their home.
"Mm, then I will go tell my mother in a moment."
"I will tell them."
Jiang Cheng felt that it was more appropriate for him to bring this up.
After the two finished toasting, they specifically went to tell Father Si and Mother Si about this matter.
The two elders had no objections; in any case, as long as their daughter is willing, that is all that matters.
Besides, with Li Xuan and Shen Lan, those two good-for-nothings, always stirring up trouble, their daughter living in the Military Residential Compound is what gives them the most peace of mind.
"Jiang Cheng," Mother Si looked at her daughter, her eyes full of worry, "you must treat my daughter well."
Her poor daughter, her best years were ruined by those two pieces of human trash.
Now, she only hopes that her daughter's marriage this time will be smooth and happy.
"Mom, please rest assured."
Jiang Cheng promised solemnly, "I will definitely not let her suffer any grievances."
"We believe you."
Father Si believes in the promise of a soldier.
After the engagement ended, Si Rong sat in Jiang Cheng's car, and the jeep drove toward the Jiang Family.
The scenery on both sides of the road receded rapidly; Si Rong rested her head slowly against the window, thinking that starting from today, she would begin her second marriage.
Looking from her direction, Jiang Cheng's profile was extremely superior, and remembering his words "Is that okay?", Si Rong felt that this newly begun marriage of hers would likely be quite interesting.
She should be happy.
A person must always move forward in this life.
Because only in this way can one avoid constantly dwelling on the past.
And resenting that past self who was stupid beyond belief.
Shen Yuan was waiting anxiously at home.
Last night, she heard the scheme between Li Xuan and that man, and she immediately revealed the hidden birthmark on Si Rong's body.
It was all to take revenge on Si Rong.
A high and proud daughter of the Si Family like Si Rong would surely be unable to save face if someone publicly spoke of a birthmark on a private part of her body at the engagement banquet.
She deserves it!
This is the retribution she deserves.
It is the retribution for her abandoning her and ignoring her.
If she were still the Shen Yuan who was loved by Si Rong in the past, then her life would definitely not be like it is now.
She looked down at her stomach.
She stroked it gently.
"Don't worry, Mom will definitely love you well."
She is giving birth to this child just to let Si Rong and Li Xuan see what a real mother is like.
Is maternal love something that can be taken back whenever one wants?
The door chimed, and Shen Yuan ran over quickly to look, but the person who returned was not Li Xuan, but Shen Chi, who hadn't been home for many days.
Shen Yuan was just about to return to her room when she was called out by Shen Chi.
"Li Xuan has been taken away by the police."
"What?" Shen Yuan didn't expect things to turn out like this, "How can she be so stupid!"
Caught last time, and caught again this time.
She might as well just move in there and never come out.
"Did you tell that man about the birthmark on Si Rong's chest?" Shen Chi questioned.
Shen Yuan nodded.
"You are even stupider!" Shen Chi sat on the sofa, "I had thought a lot during this time; although Si Rong divorced our dad, after all, there is the affection of so many years with us two, so there was still hope to renew the mother-child bond with her, and now it's all ruined!"
"How smart are you?" Shen Yuan refused to be outdone, "She has already severed ties with both of us; don't you understand what severing ties means? Oh, I forgot you dropped out of school early, so you're an illiterate!"
Si Rong could no longer love them like she did in the past.
Because they are the children of Li Xuan and Shen Lan, and those two people betrayed Si Rong.
"You, who are pregnant out of wedlock, have the nerve to talk about me? Why is it impossible? Just because she got married doesn't mean she can't have children, right? Could it be that when she gets old, she'll let the Jiang Family's children take care of her?"
Shen Chi had thought it through clearly; as long as he and his sister could properly coax Si Rong, once she grew a bit older, she would naturally understand that the child she raised herself would certainly be better than someone else's child.
Unfortunately, it had all been ruined by that stupid thing, Shen Yuan!
I fear Si Rong will not easily forgive her in the future.
However, he was still fine.
Since this sister was so stupid, there was no need to worry about her in the future.
But as her brother, he still offered a reminder, "I advise you to get smart, listen to that woman Li Xuan, and get rid of the child; otherwise, this child will be mocked for a lifetime as a bastard without a father!"
These words were truly too harsh, and Shen Yuan directly picked up the cushion behind her and threw it at him.
"My child is not a bastard!"
It was just that she had not yet determined exactly who the child's father was.
She would know once it was born.
They say a child resembles its father, so wouldn't she be able to deduce who the father is based on its appearance then?
"Suit yourself then!"
Shen Chi did not want to waste any more breath on her, "Just don't drag me down in the future!"
He would definitely make something of himself.
Shen Yuan had not yet asked what she wanted to ask before Shen Chi left.
The matter had been exposed, and now that Si Rong knew she was the one who had talked about the birthmark on her body, she probably didn't know what to think of her now.
Shen Yuan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she felt it didn't matter.
If Si Rong truly loved her as a daughter, then even if she had said it, she should still love her.
If she didn't love her, then even if she had done nothing, Si Rong would still heartlessly sever ties with her.
Si Rong naturally would not waste time thinking about such meaningless things.
She had originally been somewhat worried that what happened at the engagement banquet today would make Jiang's father and mother mind.
But fortunately, everyone's attitude toward her was the same as before.
Especially Jiang's mother, who not only ordered Wu Shen to make the beef soup she loved but also specifically instructed not to add cilantro.
Consequently, there was no cilantro in any of the dishes on the table.
She felt somewhat moved in her heart.
After the meal, Jiang's mother suggested playing cards together.
Their family's mahjong skills were still as terrible as ever, and Si Rong won several rounds in a row.
Playing until past eight in the evening, Jiang Yu yawned, "I'm sleepy, let's stop here for today!"
Then, where Si Rong could not see, he raised his eyebrows at his brother.
Jiang Cheng was not a good older brother.
But he was a good younger brother.
His brother had kept himself chaste for so many years; it really hadn't been easy!
Wu Shen came over at this moment and said respectfully to Si Rong, "I have already finished preparing the place where you will be staying."
"Thank you, Wu Shen."
Si Rong thought it was still the room she had stayed in last time; she followed Jiang Cheng upstairs the whole way, but she did not expect Wu Shen to lead her to Jiang Cheng's room.
"Am I staying here today?"
Wu Shen nodded, "Yes, Miss Si. The guest room door is broken and cannot be used; you are already engaged, so you can sleep in the same room."
