Chapter 421: Twisted Psychology

Si Cheng did not want to get back together with Jiang An as Tan Si had assumed. He left to suppress the anger in his heart.
He was not bothered with Tan Si insulting him at all. His heart was filled with the two children’s faces, especially Jiang Yi’s eyes.
That pair of peach blossom eyes looked exactly the same as Zou Bai’s. He should have sensed that something was wrong back then. He actually treated Jiang Yi as his son. Just thinking about it made him feel disgusted.
Si Cheng kept thinking about what had happened during this period of time and felt that everything was Jiang An’s fault. If not for her, he would not have fallen to this state.
She was clearly his wife, but she had already gotten together with Zou Bai long ago. She was simply uncouth.
Si Cheng had been condemning Jiang An the entire time. He had never thought of what he had done in the past and had forgotten all the harm he had done to Jiang An.
He had always wanted Jiang An to be a perfect wife, but he had never fulfilled his responsibility as a husband. He had also ignored his two children and thought that they should be filial to him.
Back then, before he knew the truth, Si Cheng did not care about the children. He thought that it was enough that the children had a mother to take care of them. In any case, they still had to be filial to their father in the future.
When he returned home in a daze, Zheng Wen hurriedly walked over. “How did it go? Did Tan Si agree to lend you money?”
Si Cheng shook his head and did not say anything. This made Zheng Wen anxious. Those debt collectors would definitely come knocking on their door. At that time, there would be no more peace at home.
“Tell me, why did you borrow money from a loan shark? If you didn’t spend my money, our entire family would have been able to live comfortably for a long time,” Zheng Wen complained.
She no longer doted on Si Cheng that much. When resources were scarce, people would always take care of themselves first. Zheng Wen had to clean and cook every day now and no longer lived a pampered life.
Wrinkles appeared on her face that couldn’t be maintained at the beauty salon. Her hands had become rough from working hard. She quickly aged and no longer looked as noble as she used to. She didn’t have the mood to think about Si Cheng’s mood.
Zheng Wen could not stand such a life anymore. She persisted because she was waiting for her son to make a comeback.
However, now that Si Cheng had not earned any money and still owed a large sum of money that he did not know how to repay. Zheng Wen sat on the ground. “What kind of days are these? That Tan Si used to curry favor with me in every way possible, but now she’s not even willing to lend me this bit of money. She’s really looking down on me.”
Si Cheng sat on the sofa and gritted his teeth. In the past, five million yuan was just a sum that he could casually take out. Now, it was enough to make the entire family feel like they could not live on.
Zheng Wen’s cries attracted Si Ming’s attention. He staggered out of the room with the wine bottle and burped. “You didn’t even manage to borrow money. What a piece of trash!”
After saying that, he laughed out loud and took out another bottle of wine to drink.
Ever since Qin Zhen left, Si Ming had been drunk every day. It seemed like he was still the chairman he used to be.
He really liked Qin Zhen and felt that she really loved him. However, when something happened to the Si family, Qin Zhen immediately left the country with her assets. The two children did not care about him at all.
Zheng Wen nagged at him every day and even kept bringing up the fact that he had another lover. Si Ming didn’t want to sober up even more.
On one hand, Zheng Wen was crying, and on the other hand, Si Ming was talking drunkenly. The house was simply in a mess. Si Cheng felt like his head was about to explode.
The series of blows made him give up on himself. He might be able to start a new life by leaving these two people behind in Sea City and going to a place where no one knew him.
However, this thought was quickly dispelled. Si Cheng was indignant. Why could Jiang An and Zou Bai still be high and mighty while he had fallen into the dust? He had to let everyone suffer the same torture as him.
At the thought of this, he stood up and walked out. Zheng Wen stopped him. “Where are you going?”
“I’m going to ask Jiang An for money.” With that, Si Cheng left.
He walked towards a dark alley and pushed open the heavy iron door. “I need your help with something.”
“We charge a fee,” the man in the alley said.
Si Cheng smiled. “I know, but if you succeed, you will have endless money to spend.”
Tan Si still did not know that her words had affected Si Cheng. The other party was about to do something irreversible. He was still browsing the information on his phone and looking at the discussions online about Jiang An acting like a big shot. She had spent a lot of money to release it to ensure that it would spread very widely..
