Chapter 316: Chapter 316: Offense and Defense Transformation

Shen Siyuan brought Xiao Yue and Duoduo back at noon, Tang Tang had already returned.

Ding Simei and Mao Sanmei were sitting face to face with Jiang Yingxue, looking somewhat restless.

Mainly because Jiang Yingxue’s presence was simply too imposing; despite her usual amiable and smiling appearance, it depended on who she interacted with.

Raised in a well-off family, and having built a significant business with her husband as an adult, her aura was very strong.

Ruan Hongzhuang greatly resembled her, but was much too young, lacking decades of experience and maturity.

So even with Ding Simei and Mao Sanmei’s ages, they felt like elementary school students in her presence, sitting up straight and proper subconsciously during the conversation.

On the other hand, Tang Tang still grinned foolishly with a small sand hammer in her hand, shaking it incessantly. Although she couldn’t hear the sound it made, she could feel it and obviously liked the little hammer a lot.

"Is all the paperwork done?" Shen Siyuan asked as he entered the room.

Seeing this, Ding Simei quickly stood up and said, "Everything is done, but the DNA report won’t be out until tomorrow at the earliest."

Mao Sanmei also hurriedly stood up, smiling at Shen Siyuan with a happy look on her face.

She and her daughter Tang Tang both had apple-shaped faces, giving off a sweet impression when they smiled.

"You’re back." Jiang Yingxue also stood up with a smile when she saw Shen Siyuan.

Tang Tang, who had been focused on playing with the sand hammer, didn’t hear Shen Siyuan at first, but noticed him entering the room because of their movements and immediately ran towards him, discarding the sand hammer carelessly on the floor.

Seeing her run, her wobbling figure was quite adorable.

"han~han~"

Shen Siyuan picked her up with one arm.

"How was it, did you go to a lot of places today?" Shen Siyuan asked with a smile.

Tang Tang naturally didn’t respond, just continued to grin foolishly, gesticulating animatedly, not sure what she was trying to express.

Duoduo, standing beside, reached out to tug at Shen Siyuan’s shirt.

"Put her down, come play with us," Duoduo said.

Xiao Yue even reached out directly, taking Tang Tang from Shen Siyuan’s arms.

"Ooh~ooh~"

Tang Tang squirmed unhappily.

"Be good, the adults need to talk, come with us to play in the room," Xiao Yue said.

It seemed that Tang Tang understood and stopped struggling, allowing Xiao Yue to carry her and Duoduo to the room.

"Please, have a seat."

Seeing they were still standing, Shen Siyuan called out and took a seat himself.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yingxue sat down and said, "Ding Simei plans to leave this afternoon."

Ding Simei sat down with Mao Sanmei and added, "Originally, I was worried about leaving Sanmei alone and wanted to stay a few days to teach her, but now with an expert like Fourth Aunt here, I have no worries."

In truth, Ding Simei’s decision wasn’t as simple as she verbally stated. It was only a minor factor; the primary reason was that she had confirmed this family weren’t fraudsters or bad people, which reassured her enough to go back home.

She just didn’t know whether she would be able to see Sanmei and her daughter again in the future, which naturally gave rise to a touch of melancholy in her heart.

Ding Simei was a very decisive person; after having lunch, she picked up her luggage and was ready to leave.

Mao Sanmei was extremely reluctant, her eyes red. The Ding family had taken good care of her for over two years. Without them, she didn’t know how much more hardship she would’ve endured or if she could have persisted until reuniting with her daughter.

"Come back to see us when you have time," Ding Simei said.

Her words seemed to be directed at Mao Sanmei, but in reality, they were meant for Shen Siyuan.

Shen Siyuan nodded and said, "When I have time, I will ask her to bring Tang Tang to visit you guys."

"Thank you, Mr. Shen, you’re truly a good person."

Upon hearing this, Shen Siyuan chuckled. She wasn’t the first person to say this about him, nor would she be the last.

Song Meixian had already prepared her return ticket earlier, so now she wouldn’t need to cancel it. She could just grab her ID card and go straight to the airport to collect her ticket.

Ruan Hongzhuang took the initiative to drive her to the airport, and Mao Sanmei, along with Tang Tang, followed them there.

-----------------

Meanwhile, Yan Zicong had finally found his boss, who was also the lover of his ex-wife.

Although he was timid by nature, at the end of the day, he was still a man. He had previously contemplated revenge and even dying together with them.

But his boss was too powerful. Before he could get close, he was beaten up by security guards. Not only that, he’d been arrested and detained for a while. Clearly, his boss was wary of him acting in desperation.

As for his ex-wife, she had never shown her face after the incident, leaving everything to her lawyer. He wanted revenge, but he couldn’t even find her.

That’s why he had fallen into despair and given up on everything.

However, after becoming a Fan Soul, he gained the means for revenge.

But now he didn’t want to just kill them off easily.

He wanted to properly play with them; in life, they played him to the point of breakdown.

Now that he was dead, the tables had turned; it was his turn to play.

Yan Zicong’s boss was called Xu Jiadong, in his fifties. He was not originally from Bin Hai either, but he arrived earlier and caught the good times. He went from being a street vendor to a big boss with properties in over a dozen locations and several companies to his name.

His story had some legendary elements too, and in this process, his wife helped him a lot. The couple had weathered hardships together.

One would assume that such a couple would have a deep relationship, but when a man gets money, there’s hardly one who doesn’t stray.

When Yang Yunxiu first arrived in Bin Hai and started working at Xu Jiadong’s company, he set his sights on her the moment he laid eyes on her. So one was greedy for wealth, and the other was lustful, and they hit it off instantly.

Xu Jiadong’s wife did know something about it but always turned a blind eye, as making a fuss would benefit no one. She understood Xu Jiadong; Yang Yunxiu wasn’t the first, and she certainly wouldn’t be the last.

Chasing her away would just bring in Dong Yunxiu, Wu Yunxiu... it wouldn’t make much difference.

People live for money, Yang Yunxiu did it for money, Xu Jiadong’s wife likewise did it for money. If it were still the days when they were dirt-poor, she would have divorced Xu Jiadong without a second thought.

But now, having everything, she hesitated out of fear. To put it plainly, she couldn’t bear to part with her current life, the vast family wealth. If she divorced, other women would only benefit from these assets.

She had worked day and night with Xu Jiadong, braving the heat to slowly build it all.

So as long as Xu Jiadong wasn’t too excessive, his wife would pretend not to see.

Meanwhile, Yang Yunxiu settled into being the mistress, contentedly enjoying all the material things Xu Jiadong provided her.

But people are never content. Having attained material satisfaction, she began yearning for spiritual joy.

Thus she sought Yan Zicong’s love.

However, Yang Yunxiu’s perceived flawless deceit was actually known to Xu Jiadong from the beginning.

But he did not stop her, rather he was pleased to see it happen.

Xu Jiadong had been with many women, many beautiful women, so his threshold progressively rose.

Ordinary women could no longer please him, so he started to seek thrills in status.

Someone else’s wife was the best kind of wife.

A subordinate’s wife was the best kind of wife.

He relished the mental exhilaration that came with such status, a pleasure that transcended the physical.
