Chapter 97: Dressing Up for Division Commander Jiang

He prepared to tell Si Rong that his little sister was pregnant and intended to give birth to the child.

One must know that before divorcing Shen Lan, Si Rong had always favored Shen Yuan quite a bit.

Sometimes even he, as the older brother, would feel jealous.

But unexpectedly, Si Rong rejected his request immediately upon hearing it, "I'm sorry, there is nothing I need to discuss with you privately."

"Also, I am not your mother; don't greet me next time we meet."

Si Rong hooked her arm through Jiang Cheng's and turned to leave, but Shen Chi blocked their path again.

"Shen Yuan is pregnant, she has given up on the College Entrance Examination now, she has given up on her own life, are you not going to care?"

Shen Chi shouted forcefully.

It was as if he wanted to roar out all the dissatisfaction he had held for this period of time.

After Si Rong left, their family's life was not as good as before, and he had also seen clearly the true nature of many people.

In the past, he had many friends and always thought it was because he was well-liked, but now that he had no connection to Si Rong, he realized that his true friends were few and far between.

As it turned out, all those halos from the past were entirely because of the Si Family.

Once he left the Si Family, he was nothing.

Unfortunately, he was the only one in his family who understood this truth now.

Therefore, he realized more and more the importance of getting back on good terms with Si Rong.

Si Rong was indeed stunned for a moment when she heard the news of Shen Yuan's pregnancy.

In a daze, she recalled the scene where she and Ming Zi saw Shen Yuan going to an internet cafe with a group of classmates at dusk.

But there was nothing to be done about this.

Even her own biological parents didn't care, so why should she, a poor fool, worry about it?

"Why should I care about something that has nothing to do with me?"

Si Rong asked him in return.

Shen Chi was left stunned in place by her questioning; he had assumed Si Rong would be very nervous after hearing it and would go with him to see his little sister.

But he never expected Si Rong to have such an indifferent, "not my business" attitude.

Sure enough, women are all cold-blooded.

Si Rong is like this.

That damned Lin Meixi is also like this.

There are simply no men who value loyalty and affection.

Their parents' relationship fell apart, and his father, Shen Lan, never thought about abandoning them, yet Si Rong had already found a new man and wouldn't even let him call her 'Mom' anymore.

Shen Chi suppressed his dissatisfaction and then pleaded, "None of us can get through to my little sister now; I hope you can consider the past mother-daughter bond and go persuade her. The College Entrance Examination is only a few months away."

"I'm sorry, I have no standing, and naturally, I don't want to persuade people who have nothing to do with me."

Si Rong refused coldly, glancing at him, "If you still cherish that bit of mother-son bond from the past, I think leaving each other alone is for the best."

Everyone has their own karma.

And this was purely a thankless task; one act of foolish kindness would likely bring endless trouble.

She had been foolish for long enough.

She decisively hooked her arm through Jiang Cheng's and turned to leave; she only slowed her pace after walking quite a distance, a curve forming at the corner of her lips, "Jiang Cheng, do you think I'm too cold-blooded?"

A daughter she raised with her own hands for seventeen years, and she truly stopped caring just like that.

Shen Yuan was actually pregnant and still wanted to give birth?

Had she lost her mind?

No matter how heartless she sounded, it was impossible for Si Rong to have no ripples in her heart.

"A little bit," Jiang Cheng said slowly.

Si Rong gave a dissatisfied huff and prepared to pull her hand back from his arm.

She could call herself cold-blooded, but Jiang Cheng actually dared to agree?

"But I like it," Jiang Cheng gripped her hand tightly as she tried to pull away, "You did very well."

Facing such betrayal and deception, it was already impressive that she chose to move forward bravely.

Moreover, she really was very, very good.

Si Rong shot him a glare; this man was a bit wicked too.

They soon arrived at the only lingerie store in the mall.

Jiang Cheng took his wallet out of his pocket and placed it in Si Rong's hand, "I'll wait for you at the entrance."

There were other female customers inside, so it wouldn't be appropriate for a grown man like him to go in.

Si Rong had only been teasing him when she said she wanted to buy lingerie earlier, but since they were already here, it wouldn't hurt to go in and see if there were any new styles.

"Miss Si is here!"

Because Si Rong was a regular at the lingerie store, the sales clerk immediately greeted her enthusiastically as soon as she walked in.

This young lady was the type who didn't look at prices when shopping and was kind-hearted; everyone in business liked customers like this.

Although she had heard the gossip about the Si Family's daughter and the Deputy County Magistrate Shen from many customers before, that had nothing to do with them; serving the customer well and making money was what mattered most.

"Miss Si, please have a seat, I'll go have the clerk bring the new arrivals for you to see!"

"The jasmine tea you like!"

Si Rong was wearing flat shoes today, so she wasn't very tired.

Besides, Jiang Cheng was still at the entrance, and she shouldn't keep him waiting too long.

"This one, and this one," Si Rong picked out two new styles that looked pleasing to her, "Just help me wrap them up; do you still remember my size?"

"I remember, I remember, I'll go get them for you right now."

When it came time to pay, Si Rong originally intended to use the wallet of Jiang Cheng that she held in her hand, but she did not expect there to be insufficient funds.

There were only a few dozen yuan in total.

She figured that he must have given all his savings to her last time, leaving only this pocket money for himself.

After Si Rong took money from her own handbag to pay the shop, she pulled out two hundred-yuan bills and placed them inside; a man could not be without money when out and about.

After she left, two young shop assistants discussed Si Rong with envy.

"She is truly beautiful! And her figure is really amazing; there are hardly any women with such measurements."

"This is truly something you can't envy; she has money and a background at home, and she is beautiful herself. Even if she left that Deputy County Magistrate Shen, she would still live a brilliant and beautiful life."

"Look, the one at the door seems to be the new man she found; he is truly handsome!"

"I think they are quite a good match, better than she was with that pretty boy before!"

Si Rong linked her arm with Jiang Cheng's, and the shopping bags in her hand were immediately taken by Jiang Cheng.

"Do you want to see?"

It wouldn't be good in such a public place, would it?

Jiang Cheng:...

"No, I'm helping you carry them."

He just subconsciously felt that he had more strength and should carry things; seeing Si Rong looking at him with the eyes one would use for a pervert, Jiang Cheng immediately clarified for himself, "I really didn't want to see!"

Si Rong:...

But, she found it hard to believe.

"I believe you."

It was nothing for a man to be a bit impatient in front of his woman, and she was gradually adapting to the identity of Mrs. Jiang.

"There is a red one; I will wear it for Division Commander Jiang to see in a few days!"

Si Rong whispered close to him, seductively.

Jiang Cheng:...

He really did not want to see.

But if it were worn on Si Rong's body,... Jiang Cheng felt he would need to take a cold shower again.

"Let's go home."
