Hearing Su Niannian defend her, Si Lili felt as if she had received tremendous support. She instantly gained courage, straightened her back, and said with righteous indignation, "That's right! Sister-in-law is absolutely right!"
She was already bored, so coming here to help organize things was a good way for her to stretch her muscles.
Brother, I think you're just meddling in other people's business and worrying unnecessarily!
My sister-in-law is willing to help me; it's a matter of friendship between us. Even if you don't like it, what can you do about it? Humph!
After saying that, she deliberately raised her chin, looking quite concerned, as if she were threatening someone.
The more Si Lili thought about it, the more confident she became, and she didn't take the decisive and ruthless Si Lijue in front of her seriously at all.
She felt that she and Su Niannian had been friends for over ten years, and that Su Niannian would undoubtedly stand by her side and help her deal with her older brother in this crucial moment.
As the saying goes, "A single tree cannot support a forest, but many trees together can make a forest."
As long as she clings to Su Niannian's coattails and unites against external threats, she can definitely defeat her brother, that despicable capitalist.
Looking at Si Lili's smug and arrogant demeanor, Si Lijue's eyes turned icy cold, like two sharp swords shooting straight at her.
He roared, "Si Lili, you still think you're right?"
Your sister-in-law is kind-hearted; that's why she chose to help you out of kindness.
"Couldn't you find a cleaner, tidier place to organize this pile of things?"
The thought of Su Niannian spending nearly two hours in this dusty warehouse broke his heart.
"Uh..." Si Lili scratched her head awkwardly and said softly, "I can't remember." Her tone was noticeably less confident than before.
She wasn't lying; she really had forgotten and couldn't remember.
She was only focused on sorting out the old things and giving them to Tang Shuo so that he would understand her feelings; she really didn't have the mind to think about anything else.
If she could remember, she would definitely choose a clean place to pick it out.
Because she wasn't stupid; she knew that the warehouse was not only dusty but also poorly lit, which affected the visual impact.
However, after Si Lijue reminded her, Si Lili felt like a fool, ashamed of Su Niannian's trust in her, and that she had let her good sister-in-law and best friend suffer with her.
Seeing that Si Lili was sincerely repenting, Si Lijue didn't bother to dwell on the topic and quietly stared at the open boxes at his feet.
His expression turned serious as his gaze slowly fell upon the boxes filled with picture frames.
Because he discovered that Tang Shuo's image appeared in every single photo frame.
At this moment, he finally understood that Si Lili was probably once again deeply infatuated with Tang Shuo and couldn't extricate herself.
He frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure creeping onto his previously calm face, and asked, "What can you remember?"
I think your mind can't hold anything else except Tang Shuo.
Do you think you can win his heart, gain his approval, and make him love you deeply just by these photos?
You'd better be more careful! After all these years, you still think you haven't suffered enough.
I suggest you focus on other people and things to distract yourself.
As she spoke, her tone revealed a clear sense of reproach, as if she was very dissatisfied with her younger sister's excessive obsession with Tang Shuo.
Immediately afterward, before Si Lili could react, he said in a commanding tone, "Organize all these things and throw them away. Cut ties with Tang Shuo from now on and have no further contact with him."
He genuinely cared about his sister and didn't want her to have too much involvement with Tang Shuo.
For so many years, Si Lili had been depressed and unhappy because of Tang Shuo, and as her brother, he had always known this. It would be a lie to say that he didn't feel sorry for her.
He had once gone to see Tang Shuo for Si Lili's sake, and when he saw Tang Shuo and Jiang Siyu chatting and laughing together without any sense of boundaries, he was very angry.
Therefore, he warned Tang Shuo not to harass Si Lili and to keep Tang Shuo away from Si Lili.
Tang Shuo was quite loyal and didn't provoke Si Lili for a long time, which pleased Si Lijue and was the reason why he continued to be friends with Tang Shuo.
Unexpectedly, after so many years, Si Lili is still obsessed with Tang Shuo and remains devoted to him.
Si Lili didn't expect her brother to have such a big opinion about Tang Shuo. In order to defend Tang Shuo, she hurriedly defended herself: "Brother, I just asked my sister-in-law to help me organize the photos, and you got so angry and started making up stories about Tang Shuo."
Can't I refuse to let my sister-in-law help me? You should take her away from here right now! I'll pack up myself.
Also, brother, these things belong to me, and you have no right to decide their fate.
Don't interfere too much in my relationship with Tang Shuo. I'm an adult now, I know what I want, and I know how to make choices.
Si Lijue coldly stared at Si Lili's face, which was flushed red with anxiety, and a surge of anger welled up in his heart.
He was so considerate of her, yet she protested against him because of another man, complaining that he interfered too much.
Si Lijue has always been a domineering and forceful person. Being misunderstood and contradicted by his sister only fueled his anger.
He didn't want to let her off so easily; he just wanted to bring her to her senses and pull her out of the quagmire of Tang Shuo. So he relentlessly pursued her.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold smile playing on his lips, and reprimanded in a chilling tone: "Hmph! You've really grown bold, haven't you? Now you think you're all grown up? You don't even respect my words anymore?"
I only said one sentence, yet it made you so agitated, and you even dared to argue back. Do you think my words have no binding force on you whatsoever?
Si Lili felt wronged and saddened when she heard her brother's forceful words.
He glared angrily at his most beloved older brother, his delicate face flushed slightly with anger, his eyes revealing strong dissatisfaction and resistance.
She put her hands on her hips and said loudly, "You didn't just say one sentence, you gave me a whole long speech!"
I think you're clearly domineering and unreasonable.
I am a person with thoughts and feelings, not some Tom, Dick, or Harry who can be manipulated at will!
Even though you're my brother, you can't restrict my behavior or freedom, and you certainly can't stop me from being with Tang Shuo.
She became more and more excited as she spoke, and her voice unconsciously rose eight octaves.
She believes she is an independent individual and has the right to choose to be with the person she likes.
Even though Si Lijue is her older brother, he can't stop her from making friends. After all, this is a civilized society, not a feudal and superstitious ancient society.
Si Lijue frowned, looking at his sister with a serious expression, and said in a deep voice, "Si Lili, don't forget that I am your own brother. Shouldn't you have at least some basic respect for me? Please watch your attitude!"
