Chapter 18 (Xiang Siling's chapter is slightly dark, so be careful when buying)
That month, Xiang Siling and Qian Chengfeng went through the divorce procedures, and the child was given to her. Whether he kept it secret or didn't care, Luo Hongmin did not take back the power and status he had given to Qian Chengfeng. Qian Chengfeng had obviously prepared himself mentally. He even asked Luo Hongmin for more resources. Luo Hongmin didn't care about these trivial matters and was very satisfied with his peace of mind, so he agreed to all of them.
Then everyone around him noticed that Xiang Siling had changed.
At work, she began to become extremely serious, like a sponge, madly absorbing all the knowledge and experience of the company's operations; she was no longer humble and silent, and completely put herself in the position of the crown princess, and her style became strong and direct. She asked for more power and opportunities. Luo Hongmin was coaxed by her as if he was in love and agreed to everything. This also allowed Xiang Siling to step into the core management of the company.
In the villa, she no longer allowed Luo Hongmin to enter Li Meiling's room. In fact, Luo Hongmin has touched Li Meiling less frequently in recent years, but Li Meiling is experienced, mature and beautiful after all, so he would occasionally seek her out to satisfy his cravings, or to comfort the emotions of this nominal wife. But now, Xiang Siling is not happy with it anymore. She said to Luo Hongmin, I don’t care whether you go to find a prostitute or a technician, because I know you are just playing around. Only Li Meiling is not acceptable. Luo Hongmin asked, why? She snuggled in his arms, pouting and saying, "Because you loved her." You said that from now on everything you have is mine, and I am the mistress of this house. She is just in name only, so let her move out.
Luo Hongmin felt relieved and happy to hear this. He believed that Xiang Siling was really madly in love with him, which was why her possessiveness was so strong. Luo Hongmin even felt a little regretful that he should not have been bewitched by Li Meiling and married her. Or you could just marry Xiang Siling now and take her out openly, it would be so prestigious and perfect. Anyway, in their circle, it is not uncommon to see old men and young wives.
Gradually, as Xiang Siling began to persuade him, Luo Hongmin began to find Li Meiling annoying. Even though there were a few times when Li Meiling took the initiative to throw herself into his arms, he hurriedly kicked her out of the room for fear that Xiang Siling would become jealous. He hinted that he would give her a lot of money and asked her to come back to the villa less often in the future. Li Meiling was so angry that she wanted to make trouble for Xiang Siling with great resentment. But Xiang Siling just smiled faintly and said to her: Isn't this what you have always wanted? Let me serve Lao Luo wholeheartedly. Now that I've decided to have him, everyone has to step aside, including you.
The situation was hopeless and Li Meiling dared not make a fuss. She knew that since the old man and the young were really connected, if one day they could really force her to divorce and do the stupid thing of their marriage, she would have no place to cry. Now she at least has the title of chairman's wife, and has money, a house and a car. She can only stay out of the spotlight for the time being, grit her teeth and wait for the day when Luo Hongmin loses interest in Xiang Siling, and then plan for other things.
In fact, at this stage, Xiang Siling was still vague about what he wanted. She only knew that she had to break through something. She gradually found pleasure in playing with the people around her. She had never been so eager to hold power and money firmly in her hands. But why should she do this, what should she do after doing this, how can she make herself truly happy - her mind seemed to be covered with a layer of paper, and there was a dazzlingly bright light on the other side of the paper, but she couldn't see clearly.
Until one night, she worked overtime late and returned to the villa.
At that time, Qian Sitian was already one and a half years old. Sometimes Luo Hongmin would send someone to pick up the nanny and Tiantian to the villa. Everything was normal and Luo Hongmin loved the child very much. Xiang Siling thought he was envious because he saw his peers holding their grandchildren.
That day, when she walked into the villa, she first saw the nanny sitting alone on the sofa. She didn't see Tiantian, so she immediately frowned and asked, "Where's Tiantian?"
The nanny smiled and said, "Tiantian insisted that grandpa give her a bath. Boss Luo said he would do it and asked me to wait outside. The skin cream and clothes are ready. I will go in and take her when she is done."
Xiang Siling's face turned pale in an instant, and he rushed to the bathroom, pushing the door open with a "clang". The old and the young in the bathroom were startled and looked back in surprise.
The scene before Xiang Siling's eyes was the most normal one - Tiantian was sitting naked in the children's bathtub, Luo Hongmin was squatting beside her, neatly dressed, teasing her with a little yellow duck, and there was a layer of clear bath bubbles in the bathtub.
The only abnormal person was Xiang Siling, who was breathing rapidly and had a pale face.
Luo Hongmin looked doubtful.
Xiang Siling reacted quickly and immediately said with a smile: "I saw the nanny sitting on the sofa, and I thought she left Tiantian alone in the bathroom. It turns out you are here, so everything is fine. The nanny is really something. She didn't even speak clearly. I was so scared that the child would fall."
At this time, the nanny also hurried in. Seeing the hostess's ugly face, she behaved silently and walked forward to take Tiantian with a bath towel.
Luo Hongmin stood up, looked at her deeply, and walked out of the bathroom.
That night, the two of them lay side by side on the bed for a while, and Luo Hongmin suddenly asked: "You were like that just now, did you think I would do something to Tiantian?"
Xiang Siling immediately snuggled into his arms and said, "Look at what you said. Tiantian is just a little old. Why would I think that? I'm really afraid that the nanny will leave her alone in the bathroom."
Luo Hongmin smiled and pinched her chin: "Oh, then if Tiantian grows up and I really have feelings for her, what are you going to do?"
Xiang Siling looked into his bottomless eyes, chuckled, and said, "If you ask me now, it's definitely not possible. I said, I won't share your love with anyone, not even my mother and daughter. You can't say for sure what will happen in the future. After all, my mother can give her daughter to you, so maybe I can too."
After being stunned for a moment, Luo Hongmin burst into laughter and finally stopped being suspicious.
That night, after Luo Hongmin fell asleep, Xiang Siling sneaked into his daughter's bedroom like a wandering ghost. My daughter now lives in her old bedroom, which is a suite, and the nanny is sleeping soundly in the outer room. Xiang Siling touched her daughter's little face, tears streaming down her face.
Tiantian was actually awakened, and when she saw her mother, she reached out for a hug in a daze. If you say this child is smart, he didn’t even wake up and comforted her: “Mom, don’t cry…Mom, cry, Tiantian… cry.”
Her little eyelashes fluttered, with a few drops of tears on them, and she soon fell asleep again.
Xiang Siling hugged her tightly, gritting his teeth to prevent himself from crying out loud. Her heart was filled with the deepest love she had ever experienced in her life, which broke her heart and made her tremble all over.
In the darkness, there seemed to be a pure and bright white light, carrying the greatest and most selfless love in the world, splitting the fog in her mind, and the world belonging to Xiang Siling suddenly became clear.
She suddenly knew what she had always wanted to do and should do. What was it that she was so eager to find?
It lay right before her eyes for years. But she still didn't dare to open her eyes. Because she still has expectations for this world.
Really, what has she been expecting and waiting for? Is there anyone else who will come to save her? Even Luo Huaizheng was harmed by her all his life, but she still lived with the mentality of a victim. These past few years have been really funny.
But, Xiang Siling, the voice said, it's not too late now. Maybe it’s just right now.
She carefully put her daughter back on the bed, covered her with the quilt, and ran out happily. Once this thought was lit up in the dark night, it was like a burning star, nailed to her mind from then on. She was extremely excited and didn't want to sleep at all. She just wanted to burn out from then on.
She needed a plan. She thought, a long-term, careful, patient and vicious plan.
She is no longer the Xiang Siling of the past. She was smart, and if it weren't for the accident in high school, she would definitely have graduated from a key university now; over the years, she has been accustomed to the shady methods used by Luo Hongmin and Li Meiling on her; in the company, Luo Hongmin taught her step by step how to formulate a complete business plan, taught her the unspoken rules of the world, taught her to identify the different classes of people, and taught her to calculate and win people's hearts.
She can do it.
——
Luo Hongmin was stabbed by her until he was covered in blood. When he was dying, the old man actually smiled and said to her with a painful and distorted expression: "I really love you... Do you think... you can get rid of it... by killing me? If I die... you will spend the rest of your life... in jail... for me. Ha... you will never... get rid of... me..."
Xiang Siling smiled, raised her gloved hand, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and then, just like he had held her chin countless times, she held the chin of this dead dog-like man, stared at him and said, "I know you are an old pervert with an overwhelming desire for control, and I am the little pervert you raised. Do you think I care about this?"
Xiang Siling turned around and walked out of the villa quickly, her steps as brisk as those of her teenage years after school. She thought, this damned up life, full of noise and bustle, is finally quiet.
