Chapter 330 Worries

Si Zuochen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked in a cold voice, "What? Not welcome?"

Bai Zhuwei was surprised by their sudden visit, and their conversation was full of pleasantries. Her eyes flickered slightly, and she couldn't immediately guess the deeper meaning behind their sudden arrival.

Thinking of Si Yanxiao's change in attitude towards her, she pondered for a moment, then smiled slightly and said, "How could that be? Please come in."

Si Zuochen and Si Youlin, without any hesitation, walked inside.

Bai Zhuwei paused slightly as she closed the door, then followed closely behind.

After Si Zuochen entered the room, he looked around for a while. Bai Zhuwei went to the side and heated up a cup of milk for them. She brought it to them and said with a smile, "You are still young, so it's good for you to drink milk to nourish your bodies."

Seeing her fawning attitude, Si Youlin's face flashed with disdain, and he turned his head and snorted coldly.

Seeing this, Bai Zhuwei didn't seem to care at all. Si Zuochen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he replied coldly, "No need. We're not so desperate that we have to mooch milk from others."

"What are you saying?" Bai Zhuwei quickly chuckled, "It's just a glass of milk, why are you making such a big deal out of it?"

Si Zuochen looked at her coldly. With her enthusiastic demeanor, she really seemed like a neighbor's aunt. Unfortunately, they had already seen through her and realized that it was all just a facade.

Seeing that the two were silent, Bai Zhuwei raised an eyebrow and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Si Youlin couldn't stand her pretentious act and scoffed, "Stop pretending. We're not the kind of people who can sit down and have a quiet chat. Who are you trying to impress with this act?"

Bai Zhuwei's thoughts were instantly exposed, and a hint of unease flashed across her face. Before she could speak, Si Zuochen coldly rebuked her.

"We're here just to warn you: stay away from Daddy, stay away from Jiang Ran!"

"Go ahead and shamelessly provoke them again, and you'll see!"

His words were full of ruthlessness and showed no mercy. Bai Zhuwei's face darkened upon hearing this.

Unexpectedly, the two of them directly tore off their pretense of civility. Immediately, his eyes turned cold, and he asked in a cold voice, "What do you mean by that?"

"What? Do we need to spell out what you've done?" Si Zuochen said coldly, his tone mirroring Jiang Ran's previous disdain.

Bai Zhuwei's expression tightened slightly, a hint of displeasure rising in her heart, but she showed no sign of it on her face.

With a flash of insight, she feigned ignorance and said, "I really don't understand why you are so hostile towards me. As far as I know, Jiang Ran was not exactly friendly to you before."

"You have no feelings for her either. Since that's the case, why not cooperate with me? I promise I'll treat you like my own children!"

Bai Zhuwei spoke slowly, trying to win them over by appealing to their emotions and reasoning with them.

To everyone's surprise, the two of them turned pale upon hearing this. Si Zuochen raised his eyes and looked at her coldly, a glint of cold light flashing in his eyes.

He retorted coldly, "You? What qualifications do you have?"

"Besides Daddy's tolerance, who else would allow you to enter the Si family? You don't even deserve it!"

"No matter how many faults Jiang Ran has, she was still legally married into the Si family through a formal marriage ceremony. Who do you think you are?"

Si Zuochen's words were filled with coldness. Bai Zhuwei heard his icy tone and the lack of respect in his words. Her face turned cold, and she no longer bothered to make any pretense of small talk.

A surge of resentment welled up in her heart. Jiang Ran had clearly accomplished nothing, so why couldn't she even compare to her?

Even Si Yanxiao disregarded past friendships and spoke harshly to him!

Thinking of this, his expression suddenly darkened, his brows furrowed, and he looked coldly at the two of them.

Seeing that she came with ill intentions and discerning her motives, Si Zuochen scoffed coldly, "What? You're resorting to violence just because you can't win an argument?"

Bai Zhuwei dropped her pretense, a sinister glint flashing between her brows. She parted her thin lips and replied coldly, "How could that be?"

“There’s a driver waiting outside. He saw you come in from here. If anything happens, I’m afraid I won’t be able to clear my name no matter what.”

Bai Zhuwei spoke slowly, a fierce glint in her eyes. She paused slightly, took a few steps forward, and moved closer to Si Zuochen before continuing.

"It's okay, the best is yet to come."

Upon hearing this, Si Zuochen glanced at her and saw a sly smile playing on her lips. A bad feeling inexplicably rose in his heart.

Seeing this, Si Youlin made a few more sarcastic remarks until Bai Zhuwei could no longer maintain her facade and her expression became increasingly cold. Only then did the two of them turn and leave.

Bai Zhuwei looked down at their departing figures, her eyes filled with malice. She hadn't expected her plans to be disrupted and that she would be mocked by children. It was an utter disgrace!

However, she gained a new understanding of the two of them. Although her words were full of sarcasm, they were also reasonable and well-founded, directly stating her attitude that she would never collude with her.

Even when she was with the two of them, she would sometimes unconsciously forget that they were only six years old, yet they spoke and acted like adults.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Jiang Ran felt depressed all day long while staying in the shop.

Just then, Jiang Yuechen suddenly came to visit her and asked for her help. He explained that a friend of his wanted to find a beautiful place with clear waters and lush mountains to live in for a long time, but the feng shui had to be good.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran readily agreed. After consulting the divination, she prepared to personally survey the terrain and relax herself.

After leaving Bai Zhuwei's place, Si Zuochen and Si Youlin guessed that Jiang Ran could only go to a few places. Just as they were about to go and look for her and act as peacemakers, a message suddenly came from their phones.

Si Zuochen lowered his eyes, his gaze sharpening slightly. After a moment's hesitation, he said in a deep voice, "Uncle, let's go back to the villa."

"Okay," the driver nodded slightly and replied in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Si Youlin looked puzzled and asked, "Aren't we going to find Jiang Ran?"

Si Zuochen frowned slightly and explained in a low voice, "She just sent a message saying that she has a case to deal with and needs to leave for a while."

"A period of time?" Si Youlin asked in surprise, "How long do you mean by a period of time? Three to five days, or ten days to half a month?"

Si Zuochen listened to his doubts, his lips pursed slightly, and a hint of worry flashed across his face.

She explained her whereabouts in just a few simple words, but they had no way of verifying it.

Si Youlin also looked worried, feeling somewhat uneasy about her acting alone.

The incident where they were in danger is still vivid in their minds. Wasn't that a warning?

Thinking of this, Si Youlin quickly said, "What if the person behind this attacks her again? How can she, a person who can't even kill a chicken, be dealt with?"

Upon hearing this, Si Zuochen frowned, and a strange glint flashed in his eyes.

However, there was no response, and not a single word was mentioned.

Si Youlin waited anxiously on the side, but considering there were other people in the car, he didn't ask any more questions until he returned to his room, at which point he couldn't help but speak up.

"Brother, give us an answer! Should we tell Dad about this and ask him to send someone to protect us, or what?"

"No need." Si Zuochen interrupted abruptly, then handed the bag to him and said in a deep voice, "Pack your things, we'll go find it ourselves."

"Myself?" Si Youlin asked in surprise, but only for a moment before he realized what was going on. He then quickly agreed and began packing the things they would need for their trip.

Moreover, this operation must be carried out in secret, without letting the driver and others know about it.

They were worried about Jiang Ran, so they went to look for her, without making a big fuss at all.

Si Zuochen continued working, his eyes flashing slightly, and said, "In that case, we'll have to skip class this afternoon too."

"Hmm." Si Youlin responded softly, "Finding Jiang Ran is the key; none of this matters."

The two seemed completely unconcerned about the consequences of skipping class, speaking as if it were a casual conversation.

The reason why no one mentioned Si Yanxiao was because they had some reservations.

Worried that Si Yanxiao might misunderstand, it would be a waste to go to war with Jiang Ran over this matter.

The two acted quickly, packed their belongings, and headed straight for the approximate location Jiang Ran had given them.

Given that the area was deserted, the taxi driver only took the two of them to the foot of the mountain and did not go any further.

The two stood at the foot of the mountain, peering into the depths of the jungle, never expecting their destination to be in such an environment.
