Chapter 271, Will You Save Him?
When talking about the past when she was deceived, Huo Zhigui did not show any anger. Her tone was calm, and even when she looked at Jiang Ran, there was only nostalgia and emotion in her eyes.
The people she once hated deeply are now dead, and her love and hatred have long since disappeared with the departure of those people.
"I just... can't accept it." Huo Zhihui smiled bitterly, "That child Si Xu... I never thought of hurting him. I... because I wrongly trusted others, he suffered so much..."
Although she did not show any hatred, she still blamed all the faults on Jiang Yize - she firmly believed that it was Jiang Yize who deceived her and threw Si Xu into the laboratory.
"Mrs. Pei." Jiang Ran sympathized with the woman's plight from the bottom of his heart and tried to make his voice sound gentle. "I have a question. It may be presumptuous, but I still want to know your answer."
Because of Si Xu, Huo Zhigui was curious and kind towards the girl in front of her. Hearing her say this, she smiled warmly: "Ask whatever you want to ask."
She is Si Xu's lover and wants to know more about Si Xu from her mother, so she is happy to tell her.
Jiang Ran's question had nothing to do with Si Xu: "Mrs. Pei, before going to Xiling Laboratory, my father didn't know what Xiling Laboratory specifically did, right?"
"I arranged for people to investigate and obtain the information about Xiling Laboratory - we all thought at first that it was doing medical research..." Otherwise, she would not have entrusted Si Xu to Jiang Yize.
"Okay, Madam, if my father tells you during the seminar that the Xiling Laboratory is completely different from the information you initially received, and that Si Xu is suffering in the laboratory and is living a life worse than death, what will you do?"
Huo Zhiju was stunned: "Wha...what?"
"You hate my father because he had the opportunity to tell you the truth, but he chose to hide it." Jiang Ran said, "What would you do if he told you about Si Xu's situation?"
"I..." I will rush to Xiling Laboratory and rescue Si Xu from that devil's den no matter what the cost. I -
"Will you save Si Xu? How will you do it? How are you going to save Si Xu when Pei Qing is watching him like a canary? Ask the Pei family? Or ask the Huo family?" Jiang Ran asked seriously, "Or, if you go to Xiling Laboratory and are discovered by the Pei and Huo families, you can choose to die with Si Xu in Xiling Laboratory."
Madam Pei, the mistress of the Pei family, actually gave birth to a child out of wedlock. How could the Pei family let that child live?
Huo Zhigui was speechless.
She stared blankly at the coffee cup on the table, her eyes gradually turning red.
Huo Zhiju is a smart person. She just cares too much, cares too much about her son who has suffered so much injustice, and cares too much about her elder brother who deceived her, so she imprisons her heart in prison and cannot be freed.
After explaining everything clearly, Jiang Ran stood up and bowed to the woman: "Mrs. Pei, I'm leaving now."
Not getting an answer, Jiang Ran turned and walked out of the room, gently closing the door.
At the last moment before closing the door, she heard suppressed crying coming from the room.
…
Si Xu was waiting at the stairs. When he saw her come out, his bored expression disappeared. His peach blossom eyes reflected the girl's figure and a gentle smile appeared on his face.
Jiang Ran quickened her pace and ran to his side. She glanced at Shi Yujiao, the servants busy downstairs, who was commanding them like a mistress, and frowned slightly: "Si Xu, I made her cry."
When Jiang Ran came out, he vaguely heard crying coming from the room - people with special abilities have better hearing than ordinary people, not to mention that he is a high-level dual-ability person.
Si Xu was curious: "Did you scold her?"
"How could that be?" Jiang Ran wrinkled his nose, dissatisfied, "Am I such a violent person?"
"No." Si Xu chuckled, "You are a very reasonable person." Reasonable, gentle, and kind, the complete opposite of me.
"Since I've persuaded her to cry..." Si Xu's eyes were expressionless, "Let her cry."
He didn't ask what she and Huo Zhijue had said. He didn't ask anything, but Jiang Ran felt soft in her heart, and a string of sour bubbles came out of her.
She whined, and when no one was around, she snuggled into his arms: "Si Xu, hug me."
The warm and soft beauty came into his arms, and Si Xu took his hands and held her in his arms.
Jiang Ran leaned in his arms and closed her eyes.
"Si Xu."
"Um?"
"When will you marry me?"
"..." He lowered his head and rubbed his chin against the top of her head, "Are you proposing to me?"
Hearing the joy in his voice, Jiang Ran laughed: "Yes, I'm proposing to you - when will you marry me?"
A question occurred to her: "Hey, does Xiling Base still issue marriage certificates? If not, how can I be considered to be married to you?"
This tangled tone made her sound like a girl who was worried about getting married. Si Xu held her face, kissed her forehead, and said vaguely: "Don't worry, as long as you want, I can do it."
If she wanted a marriage certificate, he would start from Xiling Base and reopen the marriage registration office. If she wanted to get married, he would arrange the most grand wedding for her, letting everyone know that he was hers.
His warm breath fell on her skin, making her feel itchy. Jiang Ran subconsciously raised her head, and he kissed her lips.
…
Huo Lingyin stopped at the stairs, staring at the man's back in the corridor, feeling conflicted - Damn, if she had known earlier, she should have let Pei Xiao come up, why did she volunteer to come up and eat dog food?
The girl hesitated for a moment at the stairs, then coughed loudly to remind the two people who were being affectionate that she was coming up.
Si Xu slowly let go of Jiang Ran, hooked his fingers through a strand of the little girl's hair, and said without turning around: "Huo Zhigui is in the room."
"You knew I was looking for Huo Zhiju?"
"What else?" Si Xu smiled faintly, "Did you come to us specifically?"
Of course not.
Looking for the two of them was just an excuse. She mainly wanted to avoid Pei Qing and talk to Huo Zhiju alone.
Just like Huo Sichan said, Pei Qing's thoughts cannot be influenced by others, but the Huo family cannot be bullied by anyone outside.
Before making a decision, at least we should find out Huo Zhigui's true thoughts.
If she wanted the position of Madam Pei, the Huo family would naturally support her with all their strength and step on the Shi family. If she didn't want it, she came here this time just to take her back to Beichen.
Not wanting to waste time with Si Xu, Huo Lingyin walked around the two of them and headed towards the room.
After taking two steps, the woman turned around, glanced at Si Xu doubtfully, and muttered, "Hey Si Xu, looking at it this way, you look a bit like my aunt."
She casually sighed, and Si Xu laughed sarcastically: "This is probably what they call bad fate."
The man spoke in a bad tone, Huo Lingyin rolled her eyes and ignored him.
After Huo Lingyin entered the room, Jiang Ran said, "Si Xu, Pei Xiao knows your identity, and Pei Qing certainly knows it too."
"I know, I know. What can he do to me?" Speaking of the Pei family, Si Xu was impatient. "This place is really disgusting. I'm leaving today and never coming back again."
He got angry, and Jiang Ran nodded: "I don't like it here either. We won't come here anymore."
The Pei family has his relatives, and the Pei family is also the cause of all the tragedies in his life. It is enough to visit this place once for the truth.
