"Brother, you don't even know what happened, so why are you yelling at me?"
"I'm your own sister, how can you side with someone else and help them?"
Si Lili felt very wronged and vented her dissatisfaction to Si Lijue.
She didn't believe her brother would be so blind as to like Jiang Siyu, that big idiot.
When Si Lijue saw that Si Lili didn't seem to be intimidated by his scolding and was still tightly gripping Jiang Siyu's neck, he was almost driven mad with anger.
He rushed forward in a flash, reached out to grab Si Lili's arm, and shouted angrily, "Si Lili, you've got some nerve! You dare to disobey me now!"
Si Lili felt a piercing pain in her arm, and an uncontrollable surge of anger and dissatisfaction welled up in her heart.
She stared wide-eyed at the man before her, her voice trembling with anger as she questioned, "Brother! Why are you so biased towards Jiang Siyu?"
Could it be... could it be that you like her, that you've developed feelings for her?
At this point, Si Lili paused, carefully observing Si Lijue's expression, trying to catch a clue from his face, but all she saw was indifference and disregard.
Her anger grew even stronger, and she continued to shout furiously, "Brother, are you blind and heartless? How could you be interested in such a tasteless and shameless woman?"
I really can't understand it, what's so great about someone like her that you could like her!
Si Lili became more and more excited as she spoke, and even started to say things she shouldn't have.
"And another thing, brother! Don't forget, Niannian is my sister-in-law, your legal wife, and Xibao's biological mother!"
"Aren't you at all worried that Niannian will be heartbroken and devastated by your fickle and indecisive behavior?"
After Si Lili's reminder, Si Lijue's gaze suddenly shifted, looking at Su Niannian beside him without warning.
At the same time, everyone present followed his gaze.
At this moment, Su Niannian was holding Jiang Siyu's hands tightly with both of her own, as if she was afraid that Sili would suffer if she let go, and showed no sign of letting go.
He frowned almost imperceptibly and said to Su Niannian, "You let go too!" His tone was noticeably gentler than when he spoke to Si Lili.
He and Jiang Siyu were completely innocent, so he didn't take Si Lili's words to heart at all, and he didn't feel the need to explain anything to Su Niannian.
However, to Su Niannian's ears, his voice still exuded an undeniable majesty and domineering aura, like the roar of a tiger, making her heart tremble.
Su Niannian saw that Si Lijue was yelling at her and Si Lili without asking why, and she also heard Jiang Siyu call him "Brother Lijue" while he called Jiang Siyu "Siyu". She felt that the relationship between the two of them was too ambiguous and unusual.
Feeling wronged and angry, she reluctantly let go, then tugged at Si Lili's arm, muttering in a strange tone, "Lili, get up! We're just nobody here, and some people are biased. They won't listen to our explanations; they'll only side with the people they care about."
"Hmph!" Si Lili snorted and glared at Si Lijue. Then she scrambled off Jiang Siyu, pulled Su Niannian aside, and muttered words of comfort: "Niannian, don't be sad. I'm here. I'll always be by your side."
At worst, we can just live our happy lives with Xibao, and let that other person go with the person they love!
She originally wanted to introduce other good men to Su Niannian, but when she thought about how her brother caught her on a blind date last time and how he punished her, she didn't have the courage to say it.
"Fine!" Su Niannian replied defiantly.
Immediately afterwards, she lowered her head, not wanting to look at Si Lijue and Jiang Siyu.
As long as I can't see it, my heart won't ache!
At this moment, Si Lijue's eyes were fixed on Su Niannian. Seeing that she had her head down and didn't even give him a glance, and listening to her conversation with Si Lili, he knew that she seemed to have misunderstood the relationship between him and Jiang Siyu. His heart panicked, and he didn't know whether he should apologize to her first or cry out for justice to her first.
He moved his lips a few times, opening his mouth as if to explain something.
However, at that moment, Jiang Siyu, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly stirred.
When she regained her freedom and caught a glimpse of Si Lili and Su Niannian standing beside her like two students being punished, she was overjoyed.
She immediately sprang to her feet and, with lightning speed, reached out and tightly embraced Si Lijue's legs.
In an instant, tears gushed out like a burst dam, and her cries were incredibly pitiful, leaving her breathless.
His appearance was as if he had suffered a great injustice, which aroused pity.
"Waaaaah~ Brother Li Jue, I was so scared just now! If you hadn't arrived in time, Li Li would have strangled me to death! I'm so scared now!"
It's all that damned woman's fault. Lili must have been instigated by her to kill me.
"Brother Li Jue, quickly send men to kill that bitch and make her pay for her actions!"
She cried as she buried her head between his legs, her whole body trembling with fear.
Jiang Siyu assumed that Si Lijue had just spoken up for her and even scolded Si Lili and the woman in front of her, so she concluded that she held a significant place in Si Lijue's heart.
Si Lili is Si Lijue's younger sister. She can't touch Si Lili, but she can touch Su Niannian.
Taking this opportunity, Jiang Siyu added fuel to the fire, shifting all the blame onto Su Niannian, wanting Si Lijue to punish Su Niannian, preferably by banishing her from the capital.
"Why...you..."
Su looked up in shock at the sight of Jiang Siyu clinging to Si Lijue's legs. Her face instantly turned ugly, as if all the strength had been drained from her body, leaving her feeling powerless.
She and Si Lijue had gotten along very well these past few days, just like a couple, spending every day together. She even thought that Si Lijue liked her a little bit and had some feelings for her. But it turned out that she was just overthinking it.
His apparent liking for her might be a fleeting thrill, or perhaps a way to get revenge on her.
Su Niannian stood frozen in place, her heart filled with a jumble of emotions that she found hard to bear.
Her nose tingled, her eyes involuntarily reddened, and tears welled up, threatening to spill over at any moment.
To hide her disheveled state, Su Niannian quickly lowered her head again, forcing back the tears in her eyes so that others wouldn't see her distress.
