Chapter 29 Take Back
The night deepened. The ship floated on the sea, but a torrential rain suddenly fell. Si Tang stared at the dark sea through the porthole. No one knew her extreme nervousness at this moment, fearing that the omnipotent god would suddenly appear.
Although, she had a vague feeling that the cracked scales might indicate that he might be in some kind of trouble.
God...shouldn't die?
Si Tang was stroking the fish scales with her palm, and when her thoughts were in a trance, a clear male voice suddenly interrupted her.
"Miss Si, what are you looking at?"
Ling Xubai, the expedition leader, was extremely curious about her experiences. He wondered how such a fragile young woman could survive three months on a dangerous deserted island without incident. When he found her, she was remarkably clean, wearing a simple dress. He didn't even know where she'd gotten her spare clothes; she'd said she'd picked them up.
There was not a single scar on her body, nor any sign of being bruised by the sun.
It's like a fairy who has strayed into the mortal world.
"Nothing." Si Tang retracted his gaze and looked at the young man beside him.
The man was about twenty-five or twenty-six, with a very fair complexion, handsome appearance, and gentle manners. However, Si Tang noticed that he was not in good health and would take out a handkerchief to cough from time to time, but he did not look effeminate.
"We've already called the Si family during the day, and they've sent a lot of people here." He smiled gently, "They're hosting a cruise party in the Atlantic right now. Your father is very worried about you and is rushing to pick you up."
A sneer flashed across Si Tang's eyes, but he did not comment.
He brought a group of guests to take the distressed daughter home. Was he really worried about her, or did he simply not care about her reputation?
Ling Xubai saw that the relationship between father and daughter wasn't as good as outsiders seemed. Remembering the sudden appearance of another daughter from the Si family two months ago, he tactfully avoided further questioning.
After a brief encounter, Ling Xubai politely left.
Si Tang continued to sit by the window, quietly gazing at the sea, until the wall clock in front of him rang—
It's 12 o'clock midnight.
Seven days passed completely.
The fish scales held in my palms seemed to have been rubbed with lead dust, with cracks reflected on them, looking worn and dusty. But despite being full of cracks, they were still intact.
She lost the bet.
Si Tang raised his eyebrows quietly, and at this moment he found that a bright light suddenly appeared on the sea.
It was someone from the Si family who came to pick her up.
-
The 20-story luxury cruise ship was magnificent, with the Si family crest visible everywhere. Bodyguards escorted Si Tang onto the ship.
The cruise ship was filled with cheers and excitement, and was extremely grand.
The middle-aged man approaching them was full of vigor and vitality. He was wearing a Mao suit and an emerald ring on his thumb. He looked calm and kind, yet his aura was intimidating without even being angry. This was Si Tang's father, Si Chenfeng, the head of the Si family.
The woman who followed him closely was even more gorgeous. She wore a navy blue cheongsam embroidered with jade-white pearls. She had a graceful posture and at first glance she looked like a seductive young girl. Her youthful-looking face was full of traces of acquired maintenance.
"Xiaotang, Daddy is so worried about you." Si Chenfeng looked excited and gave Si Tang a hug as if he cared about her very much.
Si Tang smiled mockingly, lowered his eyes, and gently patted his father's back in his arms, playing the role of a loving father and a filial daughter.
Everything seemed to be no different from three months ago, but Si Tang was clear that after seeing her own destiny line, she had to redefine her friendship with her father.
"How have you been these three months? My precious daughter has suffered so much." As he spoke, he was about to cry.
Si Tang answered him absentmindedly, looking through his shoulder at the woman not far away, and clearly saw a trace of resentment and resentment in her eyes.
Next to the woman stood a girl with eyes and eyebrows similar to hers. She was the so-called second Miss Si who had just been added to the family tree, her half-sister. Si Xi.
However, Si Xi is only two months younger than her. She is undoubtedly the product of Si Chenfeng's infidelity, but Si Chenfeng lied to Si Tang, saying it was just a drunken accident.
Si Tang only thought that his father had feelings for him, but he did not judge people well. After his mother passed away, he married Chen Yue as his second wife and could not tell the wolfish ambitions of the mother and daughter.
But after reading the fate line, Si Tang realized that Si Chenfeng had always played the role of a good father, not because he had any feelings for her, but because he was afraid of Si Tang's mother's family, the Yun family.
After all, the Si family made their fortune by relying on the Yun family of Haicheng.
"I'm fine, father. I'm doing fine." Her tone was calm and her posture was elegant and dignified. It was hard to tell that she had just returned from a deserted island.
This made Chen Yue hate it even more.
Chen Yue originally wanted to see how miserable Si Tang would look even if he came back alive.
So, what did she see?
Whatever this little bitch ate and drank on the island, she was even more beautiful than before she disappeared. Her fair and tender skin didn't look like it had been exposed to the sun or rain at all. She followed Si Chenfeng here late at night just to witness the bitch's embarrassment firsthand, but ended up getting badly humiliated.
Chen Yue felt resentful, but her fox eyes rolled around, and she suddenly lowered her head and said sadly, "Xiaotang is really pitiful and has had a hard time. Fortunately, she was lucky enough to survive on the deserted island. She didn't look hungry or cold. But I heard that deserted island... Oh, it must be nonsense from others."
"What about that island?" Si Chenfeng turned around and asked.
Chen Yue looked as if she couldn't begin to speak, and she spoke haltingly, "Hey... I heard there's a tribe of wild men on that island, all of them men. They say they don't even spare the female gorillas."
When these words came out, everyone present gasped and sighed.
For a moment, all kinds of strange and speculative looks fell on Si Tang, but no one dared to comment on it for the sake of the Si family's reputation.
"Oh my god, sister." Si Xi, standing beside her, covered her lips like a little white flower, looking so pure and pitiful that I could only see her. She asked innocently, "Are you okay? I heard that those savages are dirty, smelly, and particularly violent. Sister, why don't you go to the hospital for a checkup?"
The looks from all around were even more complicated, a mixture of pity and contempt. It was truly pitiful that the once high-ranking eldest daughter of the Si family would one day be hanging out with barbarians.
Si Chenfeng's face instantly flushed with anger, his eyes widening slightly. All sorts of gazes were fixed on him. He had rarely experienced such an embarrassing moment in his life.
For a moment he even wondered why Si Tang didn't just die outside, but had to come back and embarrass himself!
Si Tang looked at her coldly, so vicious.
"Aunt Chen, that's interesting. You heard that from someone else. Actually, it's not a deserted island. There are wild fruits and water sources, no wild animals, and the climate is quite pleasant. If I weren't trapped there, I'd think I'd be on vacation."
Si Tang downplayed the three months he was trapped, which made people really believe that the island was really a dead end.
If he was really raped by a savage, how could he remain calm and not crazy or stupid?
Chen Yue gnashed her teeth in anger. How could this little bitch still be so sharp-tongued? Why didn't she collapse or cry at all?
Si Tang certainly knew what she was thinking, because her original fate was that she would be rescued after being trapped for a week, but she was already in a miserable state by then. The 18-year-old girl was of course scared to death. She broke down and cried as soon as she returned home. In addition, the mother and daughter fanned the flames, resulting in rumors everywhere that she was raped by savages.
She continued to spread such rumors until her death.
"Okay, Xiaotang just came back, and you're already talking about these things that Ziwuxu has. Are you trying to make the Si family laugh?" Si Chenfeng scolded Chen Yue without any hesitation.
When it comes to his face, he who is always kind to Chen Yue can immediately lose his temper. Turning to look at Si Tang, he looks like a kind father again.
"Xiaotang, go back to your room and rest first. I'll order someone to return and land immediately."
Chen Yue wisely shut up, but still stared at Si Tang with an unwilling look as he was being escorted away by bodyguards.
