"That's true," Si Mo flipped his wrist, and a bunch of chilled grapes appeared in his palm.
He spread a paper towel on the table before placing the grapes on it.
Rong Lan didn't stand on ceremony with Si Mo. She plucked a grape and popped it into her mouth. "Can you see all the things that have happened to a person in the past?"
Si Mo snorted lightly. "I can if I want to."
"I'm envious. I also want this kind of cheat code," the little fox said lazily as she slumped onto the table.
Si Mo plucked a crystal - clear grape. "As long as you reach a certain level of cultivation, I can teach you this spell. But the prerequisite is that your cultivation must be sufficient. Five - hundred years of cultivation won't do."
Rong Lan sighed and didn't pursue this topic any further. "What was the past of that human girl you saw like?"
"Exactly the same as what she said, and there were even more excessive things that she didn't tell."
"Such as?" Rong Lan squinted her fox eyes. There were even more excessive things? She thought what Xie Xinxin had said was already excessive enough.
"For example..." Si Mo recalled the past he had seen on that human girl. "For example, when that girl was in her senior year of college, she was at home writing her thesis during the holiday. She just went out to pick up a courier, and in that short time, her younger brother sneaked into her room and 'accidentally' deleted the almost - finished thesis."
The little fox, who had never experienced the hardship of writing a thesis, tilted her head.
"Fortunately, the girl knew how to recover the accidentally - deleted file, and the file was recovered. But after that, the girl went to argue with her younger brother and made him cry. Clearly, it was her younger brother who was in the wrong, right? But when her younger brother was crying, her grandma coaxed him gently. Then, after her younger brother went out to play, her grandma asked her what had happened. After she explained the whole story, her grandma taught her that—"
"You'd better close the door and turn off the computer when you go out. Also, your younger brother is young and doesn't understand things. You're about to graduate and start working, so you should be more sensible... Clearly, it wasn't the girl's fault, but from what I saw, her grandma's attitude made it seem as if the girl was the wrongdoer..."
In the end, even Si Mo, who was usually calm, was a bit angry.
And the emotional little fox was even more furious. "This is such obvious son - preference!"
"Also—all of her family members said that they didn't have son - preference and that boys and girls were the same, but their words and deeds were typical of son - preference. Once, when the girl was at home during the holiday, after dinner, her father asked her and her younger brother to clean up the dishes together. Her younger brother didn't want to work. She called him a few times, which I thought was quite gentle. Then her grandma said that her younger brother only had one Friday in a week, so he should be allowed to have a good rest, and as the elder sister, she should do more work."
Rong Lan sat up straight, her eyebrows furrowed into a "chuan" character. "What does that mean? Her younger brother only has one Friday in a week. Does the elder sister have two Fridays in a week?"
Si Mo glanced at the furious little fox. "No. And what's even more chilling is that after hearing what his grandma said, the girl's younger brother then said, 'Did you hear that? Elder sisters should do more work. Who told you to be a girl.' After saying that, her younger brother just sat in front of the TV happily and started watching TV."
Rong Lan counted on her fingers and wished she could go find Xie Xinxin's younger brother right now and beat him up.
An old person influenced by the old - fashioned ideas had the concept of son - preference deeply ingrained in their bones. She couldn't beat the old person. But it was still possible to teach a child who was receiving modern education.
"Who told you to be a girl"? Didn't this sentence mean that since you were a girl, you deserved to do the work? A child's thoughts were so twisted. How could he be a good person when he grew up?
"Give me the address of that brat," Rong Lan said.
Si Mo took out paper and a pen from the drawer. Since he could see all the things that had happened to a person in the past, it wasn't difficult for him to get the address of a specific person.
After writing four or five lines, Si Mo put down the pen. "It might be a bit difficult to take action near his home. After all, he's from a wealthy family, and the security system of his residence is quite advanced. I've given you the address of his school. You can consider that."
Rong Lan nodded, raised her phone, took a photo of the paper, and then directly sent the photo to Wang Tong, asking Wang Tong to help investigate the brat's school - going and coming - home habits. Only by knowing the other person's general habits could she choose the best time to take action according to the pattern.
"Do you need my help when you go to teach that child a lesson?" Si Mo plucked a grape.
Rong Lan thought for a moment and finally shook her head. "No. I can take my newly - wedded husband with me!"
Hearing her mention her newly - wedded husband, Si Mo scoffed lightly. "What does he think your job is? Won't it scare him if you suddenly take him to fight?"
"I only told him that I've opened a small store to do business. He probably thinks I'm selling flowers or pastries. He didn't ask me in detail," the little fox said, resting her chin on her hand. "As for suddenly taking him to fight, there are plenty of reasons. I can just tell him that that person offended me. And I won't be too harsh. I just want to give him a lesson."
"Will you really not be too harsh, you little fox?" Looking at her furious appearance, he always felt that she would torture that child miserably.
Rong Lan nodded with a smile. "Of course. I'm a fox who always keeps my word."
Si Mo let out a breath. "Let me know before you take action. I'll go there invisible to watch the show." He was afraid that the little fox might accidentally kill the person when she got angry. If such a thing really happened, he could at least help her clean up the mess if he was nearby.
Rong Lan gave an OK gesture.
At six o'clock in the evening, the two of them got off work on time.
It only took Rong Lan twenty minutes to get home. As soon as she opened the door, she smelled the aroma of chicken. She sniffed. "I'm back!"
Hearing this extremely happy "I'm back", Chu Hengyuan, who hadn't closed the kitchen door and hadn't even taken off his apron, walked out directly. "Lanlan's back. Dinner is ready. Go wash your hands, and we'll have dinner."
Looking at the man in the apron, looking so virtuous, Rong Lan's eyes curved into a smile. "Okay."
She had already tasted the joy of having a man at home.
The feeling of coming home after a busy day and being able to eat delicious chicken was simply wonderful.
The little fox obediently went to wash her hands. After she came out, Chu Hengyuan had already served the food on the dining table.
She pulled out a chair and sat down, waiting eagerly for Chu Hengyuan to come out after cleaning up the kitchen. After Chu Hengyuan also pulled out a chair and sat down, she picked up her chopsticks.
