Chapter 104 A Slap That Erases All Favors

Lin Shuangyu continued to embellish the story: "Ding Momo said that Si Yuan always appeared wherever Jiang Wang was during high school, so no one dared to bully her anymore. She's still pretending to be so wronged, Song Yan, don't you find that suspicious?"

At this moment, Song Yan already had the answer in his heart.

If Jiang Wang weren't deliberately condoning it, how could he allow Si Yuan to repeatedly offend his territory?

Therefore, everything Lin Shuangyu said is true.

He looked at Si Yuan and Jiang Wang. He cared about her, felt sorry for her, and treated her well, as if they understood each other very well.

My heart felt like it had been rolled by thorns, and a chaotic pain arose within me.

"Si Yuan, is it true?"

He gave her one last chance. If she could say no, he would believe her without hesitation and take her away.

Jiang Wang frowned: "Whether it's true or false, Si Yuan's injuries are still there. Isn't the most important thing now to get Lin Shuangyu to admit his mistake? Song Yan, what are you hesitating about again?"

"Shut up!"

Song Yan loathed Jiang Wang's condescending accusations and analyses of him.

His sister had betrayed him long ago.

Song Yan felt a chill run through his body.

Perhaps it's because I've never been betrayed.

Si Yuan didn't want to answer Song Yan's unreasonable question, so she simply walked directly towards Lin Shuangyu.

Lin Shuangyu grabbed Song Yan's arm and said, "She betrayed you a long time ago! Do you want me to reveal your secret so that the two of them can laugh at your wishful thinking?"

Song Yan's eyes darkened slightly.

Absolutely not.

If that's the case, then today... the most humiliating person will be Song Yan.

Si Yuan's fingers were only half an inch away from Lin Shuangyu's collar when Song Yan suddenly stepped in front of her.

That's enough.

Si Yuan raised her eyes, showing no surprise, and asked calmly, "So, you really intend to protect her?"

"No matter what, she is my fiancée."

Song Yan clenched his fist, his fingertips turning white, as if he were trying to find an excuse for himself.

"Fiancée?" Jiang Wang scoffed, leaning to the side with his arms crossed as he watched. "So, the Song family is planning to share weal and woe with the Lin family?"

"Shut up!"

Song Yan turned his head sharply, his eyes filled with hostility. The person he hated most right now was Jiang Wang.

This is the culprit who ruined his relationship with Si Yuan.

So he looked at Jiang Wang and said, word by word:

"No one is allowed to touch Lin Shuangyu today."

Si Yuan looked at his tense profile, frowned in confusion, and suddenly said softly, "So you can protect people."

How ridiculous.

Doesn't he just turn a blind eye every time she gets hurt?

It turns out he just hadn't met the person he cared about.

Song Yan heard her voice, but dared not look into her eyes.

His heart sank, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.

But... no matter what, this is not a reason for Si Yuan to betray him.

Whether it's her brother or someone she likes, if she says she likes someone, why is she still entangled with others?

While he was carefully considering the future, and while he realized how much he owed her, she was entangled with other men...

Song Yan, on the contrary, did not feel indebted.

"Yes, no one can touch her."

Si Yuan nodded, understanding.

"Five years ago, you couldn't stop her from bullying me," she stepped forward, "and today, you can't stop me either."

As soon as she finished speaking, she pushed Song Yan aside, stepped forward, grabbed Lin Shuangyu by the hair, and slammed him against the wall.

Lin Shuangyu screamed in pain, but Si Yuan didn't let up, her voice icy: "Apologize."

"I'm sorry! I was really wrong!"

Lin Shuangyu's face was covered in tears, filled with fear and pain, and all traces of her previous arrogance had vanished.

Si Yuan knew all too well how to hit someone harder.

Because she had endured pain from all over.

Therefore, Lin Shuangyu will be in more pain than her.

“Not enough.” Si Yuan increased the pressure. “You, Ding Momo, and all of you who bullied me back then, you all have to come to me and apologize to me one by one.”

"Okay! I'll definitely call them!"

Lin Shuangyu nodded repeatedly, hoping to get away as soon as possible.

Si Yuan stared at her face, his gaze falling on the pale pink old scars on his arm: "You must have as many scars as I do."

"No!" Lin Shuangyu trembled all over, shaking with fear, and struggled desperately: "I can apologize to you, but you can't ruin me, I really know I was wrong!"

Si Yuan looked at her, so humble and pathetic. It turned out that even those who vented their violence could be so afraid when faced with a violent retaliation.

"You're not wrong, you're just scared."

Upon seeing this, Song Yan immediately rushed forward and grabbed Si Yuan's wrist: "She's about to be disfigured! Si Yuan, who taught you to be so vicious? You weren't like this before!"

Si Yuan's wrist was gripped so tightly it hurt, her knuckles turned white from the force, but she didn't loosen her grip on Lin Shuangyu's hair even a little. She just coldly looked up at Song Yan and said, "You get out of here too."

Being spoken to like this by the usually compliant Si Yuan for the first time, Song Yan was more angry than disappointed.

She really has changed.

He became just as harsh and extreme as Jiang Wang.

"Release her first!" Song Yan refused to back down, his tone still carrying a hint of self-righteous "admonition."

"Let's talk this out. What kind of behavior is it to resort to violence and hurt people?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a nonchalant male voice came from behind him, carrying a hint of mocking coldness: "You certainly know how to talk nicely. Girls are just playing around, what are you doing getting involved, a grown man like you?"

Jiang Wang looked at Song Yan casually, but his gaze was like a knife scraping across him.

"You said it yourself, you're not going to die anyway."

Song Yan was taken aback.

This sounds all too familiar.

Because when he learned about what happened back then, he said it countless times.

The same tone, the same wording, only this time the person being addressed was himself.

Song Yan froze, and the grip on Si Yuan's wrist loosened slightly involuntarily.

In that moment of distraction, hurried footsteps suddenly came from the doorway.

Accompanied by Yu Qingfang's shrill shout: "Si Yuan! Are you crazy?! Let go of Shuang Yu right now!"

Song Guotao followed behind, his face ashen as he stared at the chaos before him.

Si Yuan grabbed Lin Shuangyu by the hair and pinned her against the wall. Lin Shuangyu was crying so hard that she was almost out of breath, her face covered in tears. Song Yan stood frozen in the middle, while Jiang Wang watched coldly from the side.

The scene instantly darkened his expression, his tone carrying an undeniable authority: "Si Yuan, let go immediately! Do you want to humiliate the Song family?"

Si Yuan slowly turned her head, her gaze sweeping over Song Guotao, whose face was ashen, and then landing on Yu Qingfang's face, which was full of disgust.

Lin Shuangyu finally saw her savior and tearfully pleaded, "Auntie, please help me!"

Yu Qingfang didn't say anything, walked straight over, pushed Song Yan aside, and slapped Si Yuan across the face.

No one had time to react.

Si Yuan's face turned to the side after being hit.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Shuangyu broke free and hid behind Yu Qingfang.

Song Yan stared at Si Yuan, his gaze fixed on her, a look of heartache flashing in his eyes.

Even though he blamed her for being disobedient and useless, Song Yan still felt a tightness in his chest and couldn't bear to watch her being beaten.

He had just raised his hand, wanting to check her injury.

Jiang Wang had already gone over, taken Si Yuan's hand, and cupped her face to examine her carefully.

Jiang Wang gently brushed Si Yuan's face with his fingertips.

He didn't look at Song's hand that was hanging in mid-air, nor did he pay attention to Song Guotao and his wife, whose faces had darkened even more.

His eyes flashed with a cold light when he looked up, but his tone was frighteningly calm: "You dare to hit her in front of me?"

Yu Qingfang was taken aback by the question, then raised her voice to cover her guilt: "Even if you are from the Jiang family in the capital, you have no right to interfere in the Song family's affairs! Si Yuan disrespected her elders and injured someone, so it is only right for me to teach her a lesson!"

Jiang Wang was about to speak when Si Yuan stopped him.

"It's just a slap, it's not like I haven't been slapped before."

That's good. One slap shattered his last attachment to the Song family.

She smiled, wiped her mouth, and said softly, "After all, they aren't my biological parents. I have to repay their kindness in raising me in some way. This slap settles that debt."

Yu Qingfang's face turned pale and then red. She opened her mouth to retort, but the coldness in Si Yuan's eyes silenced her.

Seeing this, Song Guotao stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Why bring up the past? You've made a scene today, vented your anger, and even beat Shuangyu up like this. Let's leave it at that."

"Is this the end?"

Jiang Wang chuckled and shielded Si Yuan behind him, his gaze sweeping over Lin Shuangyu, who was huddled behind Yu Qingfang, secretly wiping away tears.

"Old Song is very generous. Si Yuan owes you a debt of gratitude for raising her, but I don't."
