Observing celestial phenomena, she was struck by lightning.
Perhaps there is no one more unlucky than Jiang Ran, a grandmaster of the mysterious gates.
Just after traveling through time...
Chapter 242 Deeply Scheming
Upon hearing this, Si Jiliang frowned slightly, and a hint of sarcasm flashed across his face.
He raised his eyes and looked at her coldly, his eyebrows slightly raised, and slowly said, "Tell me about it."
Seeing that Si Jiliang's expression was cold, Bai Zhuwei realized that there was still room for maneuver in this matter. Her eyes flickered slightly, and she began to explain.
"Jiang Ran is with A Yan now because of circumstances. Don't you like her? We can cooperate to separate her from A Yan. We can both get what we want, and it's a win-win situation."
Upon hearing this, Si Jiliang's lips curled slightly, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes, and he scoffed coldly, "A win-win situation?"
"This is just your personal opinion. Did you take their opinions into consideration?"
Bai Zhuwei was taken aback by Si Jiliang's righteous words, a look of surprise flashing across her face.
Such private matters can be resolved simply by both parties reaching an agreement. When is it necessary to consider the opinions of the parties involved?
If they found out, what's the point of cooperation?!
Thinking of this, Bai Zhuwei's eyes suddenly sharpened, a cold glint flashing across her face. She raised her eyes and looked at Si Jiliang seriously, saying in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"
Upon hearing this, Si Jiliang suddenly let out a cold laugh, then looked at her with a cold gaze, a slight smile playing on his lips, his face full of mockery.
Bai Zhuwei instantly understood, her expression changed, and she coldly questioned, "Are you playing me?!"
"So what?" Si Jiliang said dismissively, his eyes full of disdain, and readily admitted it.
He didn't even bother to play the pretense of flattery with Bai Zhuwei. Since she could so brazenly negotiate with him, she must have already investigated the matter to some extent.
Looking for "allies"?
joke!
Seeing the coldness on Si Jiliang's face, Bai Zhuwei frowned and felt a surge of anger rising in her heart.
He then spoke coldly and sarcastically, "What are you pretending to be so virtuous at a time like this? Do you really think you can hide your true intentions from everyone?"
As he spoke, he stood up and walked towards Si Jiliang, a slight smile playing on his lips, and sneered, "Hiding and dodging, cowardly as a mouse!"
Si Jiliang raised an eyebrow at the sarcasm in her words, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes. He tapped the armrest lightly with his fingers, his face showing disdain.
With a slight pursing of his lips, he coldly retorted, "Cowardly as a mouse?"
As he spoke, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes, followed by a cold sneer: "Heh..."
"I'm just not going to cooperate with fools, what? Are you planning to use your past relationship with Si Yanxiao to blackmail me?"
Seeing that Si Jiliang had seen through her thoughts, Bai Zhuwei's eyes flickered, her brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed in her heart: "You!"
Seeing her unpleasant expression, a flash of cold mockery crossed Si Jiliang's eyes, and the sneer that appeared on his lips looked particularly ironic.
"Trying to warn me?"
As he spoke, a chill flashed in his eyes. He stood up and looked coldly at Bai Zhuwei. He parted his thin lips and said disdainfully, "You don't even understand such a simple truth as 'things change, people change'? You're utterly stupid! And you dare to spout nonsense in front of me?!"
He showed no mercy in his words, and rebuked them angrily.
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhuwei's expression changed drastically, becoming increasingly ugly. A sudden thought flashed through her mind, and a sinister glint appeared in her eyes.
Then, a slight smirk appeared on his lips, and he suddenly let out a cold laugh.
Seeing her acting so strangely, Si Jiliang frowned slightly, a bad feeling flashing through his heart.
As expected, Bai Zhuwei reached out and unbuttoned her clothes, slowly approaching Si Jiliang step by step.
Upon seeing this, Si Jiliang's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he coldly questioned, "What are you doing?"
Bai Zhuwei acted as if she hadn't heard, raising an eyebrow slightly and speaking in a cold, mocking voice: "Weren't you the one who stood on the moral high ground to condemn me?"
"What do you think Ayan would do if he knew you had molested me?"
Upon hearing this, Si Jiliang's expression changed drastically, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. He coldly rebuked, "Shameless!"
Bai Zhuwei paid no attention to his reprimand. A glint of light flashed in her eyes, and she looked disdainful. Ignoring Si Jiliang's expression, she turned and left.
Si Jiliang stared at her retreating figure, his pupils suddenly contracting, his brows furrowed with disgust.
Bai Zhuwei deliberately put on such an act in front of me, simply because she was angry and embarrassed and wanted to threaten me.
Thinking of this, his eyes and brows turned icy cold.
On the other side, after leaving, Bai Zhuwei drove straight to the Si Group to confide in Si Yanxiao. Before getting out of the car, she deliberately made her hair even more messy.
Holding the pass given to him by Si Yanxiao, he walked straight to the president's office.
The receptionist noticed her strange expression and red eyes as she walked directly into the private elevator, her face full of confusion.
Si Yanxiao was holding a meeting, which was nearing its end, when his secretary suddenly approached and whispered a few words in his ear. Upon hearing this, Si Yanxiao frowned and gestured to pause the meeting.
He then got up and strode out of the meeting room, leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment.
Si Yanxiao strode towards his office, not forgetting to solemnly instruct, "No one is allowed to enter without my permission."
"Okay." The secretary replied in a low voice, then paused slightly, watched Si Yanxiao enter the president's office, and then returned to her workstation.
Upon hearing the noise, Bai Zhuwei quickly looked up and saw Si Yanxiao push the door open and enter. Bai Zhuwei's eyes flashed, and a look of grievance immediately appeared on her face.
His eyes were red and swollen, as if he had just been crying.
Seeing this, Si Yanxiao frowned slightly, a look of surprise flashing across his face. He quickly walked over, gently patted her shoulder, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Hearing Si Yanxiao's question, Bai Zhuwei's lips twitched, and tears slowly streamed down her face. As if she had found an outlet for her emotions, she recounted the story with a sob in her voice, embellishing the details.
Upon hearing this, Si Yanxiao's expression suddenly hardened, his face turned extremely ugly, and a flash of ferocity crossed his eyes. He then coldly rebuked, "He dares?!"
Bai Zhuwei lowered her brow slightly and replied in a low voice, "I never expected that he would still try to harm me knowing about our previous relationship."
As she spoke, she paused slightly, looked up at Si Yanxiao with eyes full of grievance, and then said softly, "Ayan, if I hadn't seized the opportunity to escape, I'm afraid that now..."
The words were left unsaid, leaving Si Yanxiao with endless imagination.
Si Yanxiao lowered his eyes slightly, his lips pressed tightly together, and a cold look flashed across his face.
Based on his understanding of Si Jiliang, he shouldn't do such a despicable thing. But the victim now is Bai Zhuwei, who always cares about her appearance. How could she appear in front of people like this?
Furthermore, she is currently the victim, and there is absolutely no need for her to lie about such a thing.
Thinking of this, Si Yanxiao's pupils suddenly darkened. Seeing that Bai Zhuwei's mood was low and unusual, he quickly spoke up to comfort her.
After settling her in, he drove straight to Si Jiliang's residence, stepped on the gas, and sped away.
Si Jiliang was already annoyed by Bai Zhuwei's sudden visit today, and the irritation in his heart just wouldn't go away.
Just then, a sudden doorbell rang outside. Si Jiliang assumed it was Bai Zhuwei returning, his face darkened, and he didn't intend to pay attention.
The doorbell kept ringing, which annoyed him so much that he had no choice but to turn around and go to the door. His eyes were full of impatience as he opened the door and asked in a cold voice, "What else do you want?!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her eyes slightly and saw Si Yanxiao standing in front of her, his brows furrowed and his face showing displeasure.
Seeing this, Si Jiliang pursed her lips slightly. Looking at his ugly expression and recalling Bai Zhuwei's warning earlier, she guessed that Si Yanxiao's visit was not well-intentioned.
His gaze sharpened abruptly, and he spoke in a cold voice, "Why is it you?"
Si Yanxiao's expression also changed, and he looked at Si Jiliang with a cold gaze, his eyes full of hostility.
She pushed him aside and walked straight in as if no one else was around.
Seeing this, Si Jiliang's eyes narrowed slightly, knowing that this was not the place to talk, and then followed behind him toward the main hall.
Si Yanxiao entered the hall, abruptly turned around, and glared coldly at Si Jiliang. A flash of icy coldness crossed his eyes as he spoke in a chilling voice, "Si Jiliang! You're courting death!"
Hearing his sudden stern rebuke, Si Jiliang frowned abruptly, looked up and met Si Yanxiao's gaze. He knew perfectly well what the reprimand meant, but his face remained expressionless. He feigned ignorance and replied coldly, "What do you mean by that?"
Si Yanxiao lowered his eyes and coldly scrutinized him. Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, he suddenly scoffed and questioned sharply, "You know perfectly well what you did to Zhu Wei!"
Upon hearing this, Si Jiliang's lips curled slightly, a hint of disdain flashing across his face, and he sneered coldly.
