When Si Lili saw her best friend lower her head, looking extremely frightened, she immediately comforted her: "Niannian, don't worry about my brother. He's not afraid of making enemies."
Someone as cunning as him isn't afraid of making enemies, and the Jiang family wouldn't dare to hold a grudge against my brother.
Besides, this is all Jiang Siyu's own fault; it has nothing to do with you.
Su Niannian is not a saint; she simply believes that this whole thing started because of her.
If she hadn't tried on that dress, she wouldn't have argued with Jiang Siyu, let alone gotten into a fight.
If the two hadn't fought, none of this would have happened.
Now, the elders of the Jiang and Si families have also been implicated, and I feel that I have committed a great sin.
"I just feel guilty... if it weren't for me..."
Just as Su Niannian was about to finish speaking, a deep and magnetic voice suddenly came from behind her, abruptly cutting her off.
The voice slowly said, "She would have been sent away anyway, even without you. So you don't need to feel guilty about it."
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Si Lili and Su Niannian turned their heads to look at the door and saw Si Lijue already standing there.
Si Lili looked slightly flustered and hurriedly hid the photo of him and Shen Xinyi behind his back.
Immediately afterward, he forced a smile and greeted the other person, "Oh, brother, what brings you here all of a sudden?"
As he spoke, his eyes kept darting around, as if he was trying to hide something.
Meanwhile, in order to get rid of Si Lijue as soon as possible, Si Lili urged anxiously, "Brother, this place is dirty and messy. It is not suitable for someone of your noble status to stay here. It would be better to leave here quickly so as not to get your clothes and shoes dirty."
As she spoke, she gestured with her hands to signal Si Lijue to hurry up and leave, while constantly backing away, as if afraid that Si Lijue would discover what she was hiding.
Si Lijue could tell that Si Lili was trying too hard to hide something, so he walked towards them with a sullen face and an air of indifference.
He frowned, his face grim, and said in a tone full of reproach and dissatisfaction, "You knew this place was filthy and chaotic, so why did you bring your sister-in-law here?"
Upon hearing this, Si Lili's heart tightened, her eyes darted away, and her voice became timid.
"Brother, please calm down. I just wanted my sister-in-law to help me pack my things."
And we'll be ready quickly and heading out soon.
Si Lijue's originally cold and stern face was now extremely gloomy, as if it could drip water.
He strode towards Si Lili and Su Niannian with his long, powerful legs, exuding an invisible sense of pressure that made the two people in front of him feel fear.
When he came to their side, he stretched out his large hand to Su Niannian without saying a word and said softly, "Come here!"
Su Niannian glanced awkwardly at Si Lili beside her, and saw Si Lili frantically winking at her and waving her hand, telling her to go find Si Lijue. Only then did she walk over to his side.
Si Lijue took out a handkerchief from his pocket and gently wiped her hands, removing all the dust.
Then, thinking for a moment, he whispered to the woman in front of him, "You shouldn't come to such dirty places in the future. It's bad for your health and skin."
I don't like you being dirty, and I don't want you to work too hard.
Su Niannian knew that Si Lijue had a germaphobia, so she assumed he was just uncomfortable with it and immediately replied, "Okay! I understand. I'll go back to my room and take a shower later."
After seeing the woman wipe her hands clean, Si Lijue slowly lowered his eyes and shifted his gaze to the open box at his feet.
Inside, there were all sorts of items that had been salvaged, some of which were broken and others covered in dust and grime.
He frowned deeply, a hint of dissatisfaction and contempt flashing in his eyes, and asked Si Lili irritably, "Is this what you're supposed to organize? A pile of junk, I really don't know what's so interesting about it."
After saying that, he casually tossed the handkerchief he had just wiped into the box, as if it really contained trash.
Si Lili pouted in dissatisfaction, looking at Si Lijue's arrogant and unreasonable appearance, and protested, "Big brother, these things are not junk, they are my childhood memories."
How could you throw a used handkerchief in there? That's blatant disrespect!
Si Lijue rolled his eyes at Si Lili without hesitation, and his deep and stern voice rang out: "Since it's your childhood memory, why did you have your sister-in-law come over to help you sort it out?"
You can just think about it yourself here. Besides, don't you have a nanny and maid at home? You shouldn't be asking them to tidy up this stuff. Why are you asking your sister-in-law?"
His woman should never lift a finger, should take good care of herself, and live the life of a pampered lady, how could she do such dirty work?
What he was most dissatisfied with and angry about was that Si Lili brought Su Niannian to the warehouse and treated her like a servant.
He felt that since there were servants at home, why should Su Niannian suffer with them?
Si Lili felt that it was understandable for her brother to love his wife, but he shouldn't be so disgusted with her things and scold her without even knowing the facts.
Besides, the significance of having a maid tidy up these things is different from tidying them up yourself.
A hint of grievance appeared on her face, her eyes reddened, and she whispered in protest, "Big brother, don't be so stingy! I already said I asked my sister-in-law to help me; it would be too slow for me to tidy up by myself."
Si Lijue looked at his sister with a cold expression, showing no leniency because she was family, and retorted without any politeness: "Being slow is your own fault, you brought it on yourself."
Why did you have to come to this warehouse and sort through this pile of junk when you had nothing better to do?
Besides, these things are clearly yours, and have absolutely nothing to do with your sister-in-law!
Instead of tidying up your own things, you dragged your sister-in-law over here. I really don't know what you're thinking.
When Su Niannian saw Si Lijue scolding Si Lili without saying a word, she hurriedly tried to smooth things over.
She gently tugged at Si Lijue's sleeve and said in a sweet voice, "Anyway, I had nothing to do, so I came to help out. These things are a piece of cake for me. I don't feel dirty or tired. Don't blame Lili."
Besides, I came here of my own volition; it has nothing to do with Lili.
Si Lili's cheeks were puffed out in anger, clearly still annoyed by the argument she had just had with her brother.
She felt she was right, but couldn't think of a suitable way to refute her brother's set of grand principles.
Just then, she heard her best friend's clear and melodious voice, which instantly gave her an ally.
