Then her father and uncle came to fuss over her, and she instantly broke down.
She hadn't experienced the warmth and care of her family for so long that she couldn't control her emotions and burst into tears.
Just when she finally calmed down and forced herself to face reality, Si Lijue had to interfere again.
However, she was very curious as to why her uncle was so afraid of Si Lijue.
To appease Si Lijue, he even considered sending her to his bed once, comparing her to a little puppy.
She pouted and looked at her uncle with dissatisfaction, saying coquettishly, "Uncle, how could you compare me to a dog? A little puppy that listens to him, why?"
I don't want to be a simp; I want to be a harmless little rabbit.
The uncle kept winking at Su Niannian, trying to make him understand his feelings, but Su Niannian didn't get it.
Helpless, he could only ask in a low voice, "Niannian, haven't you always liked to be his lapdog? Why are you so resistant now?"
Five years have passed, has she changed her personality?
If she really changes her ways and stops revolving around Si Lijue, then we elders will truly have some peace of mind.
Su Niannian's eyes were firm as she answered with conviction, "That was five years ago when I was ignorant and foolish. Now I've figured it out, and I'll never be anyone's lapdog again."
"My niece has made progress, hahaha..." The uncle laughed happily, then, thinking of the troublesome person in the house, he continued to persuade him: "In order to keep things peaceful, you should just be patient for now, act as a lapdog for a while, and get rid of him as soon as possible."
At worst, your uncle will find you other men to be your little puppy, little rabbit, or big hedgehog...
I'll only ever dote on you, never leave you, and do everything I can to make you happy, okay?
"Alright! You have to keep your word!" Su Niannian compromised. "You can't go back on your promise!"
"Okay, it's a deal!" The uncle nodded solemnly.
Even though they both spoke very softly, someone with sharp ears still heard them.
Si Lijue saw that his uncle not only wanted to use Su Niannian to scheme against him, but also encouraged Su Niannian to find other men, and that damned woman actually agreed.
What's even more infuriating is that Su Niannian's parents didn't object; in fact, they seemed to approve.
He felt like he was being cuckolded, which made him inexplicably unhappy, and he was constantly emanating a creepy aura.
She couldn't help but sneer inwardly, "Hmph! Su Niannian is indeed a good daughter raised by the Su family. Even at this point, she actually joined forces with them to deal with me, trying to cheat on me."
"Excellent! Truly excellent! This Su family has really impressed me."
He glanced coldly at his uncle, a hint of mockery in his eyes, and said indifferently, "You really are a good uncle who cares about his niece!"
Then he looked at Su Niannian and said through gritted teeth, "You are also a well-behaved and obedient niece."
It seems that your uncle and aunt also support and agree with your approach.
"Su Niannian, you all don't respect me at all. Hmm?"
Listening to his angry and threatening words, Su Niannian finally sensed his abnormality and was afraid that he might do something outrageous in a moment of impulse.
She quickly explained, "My uncle and I were just joking, Mr. Si, please don't take it seriously. And don't be angry."
The next few words were on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed them back and didn't dare to say them.
"A joke? But I don't think so." Si Lijue said dismissively, "Why should my woman lower herself to become a dog to please me?"
She actually dared to try and cheat on me with another man right in front of me. Does she really think I'm dead?
What truly angered him and what he found most unacceptable was the absurd suggestion from his eccentric uncle.
The uncle asked suspiciously, "Mr. Si, when did our Niannian become your woman?"
She didn't marry you; she's an independent individual with the right to choose her own happiness.
Si Lijue really wanted to snap his uncle's neck. His face darkened as he said, "You slept with me, and after you provoked me, you're still not my woman? How can you expect to get something for nothing and then act like nothing happened? There's no such thing as a free lunch."
Besides, she even gave birth to my child…” Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Su Niannian’s urgent voice.
"Si Lijue, I'm not lying to you. My uncle and I were really just joking."
Don't worry, I won't look for other men, I swear! At least not for the next two years.
She was genuinely afraid that Si Lijue would get angry and do something detrimental to her uncle.
At the same time, I didn't want him to reveal Xibao's story like that.
Her mother's health has never been good, and if she were to reveal the news about Xibao rashly, her mother would probably not be able to handle it.
Si Lijue took a deep breath, deciding to let her go for the time being, and commanded in a deep voice, "Come here!"
Su Niannian dared not disobey, and walked from behind her uncle to Si Lijue's side, letting him pull her hand and sit down close to him.
When the three elders of the Su family saw Su Niannian being so humble, they assumed that she was being coerced by Si Lijue.
Mr. Su was a straightforward man who disliked beating around the bush and couldn't stand seeing his daughter being bullied. He asked directly, "Mr. Si, what exactly do you want us to do to let my Niannian go?"
Tears welled in Su's mother's eyes, and she moved her lips a few times, as if she had made a decision.
"Mr. Si, as long as you let my Niannian go, I can give my life to repay the debt she owes you."
"You've lost your innocence, and I'll give my life for it. Mr. Si, you're not at a loss!"
"If my sister's life isn't enough, I'll take it!" The uncle also stepped forward, looking ready to die.
Su Niannian couldn't allow her family to be harmed. She suddenly grabbed Si Lijue's arm, looking at him warily.
"If you're angry, take it out on me. Don't make things difficult for my family; they know nothing about it."
Si Lijue sighed and rubbed his forehead, saying with exasperation, "Are you stupid? They're all plotting to send you to my bed, and you're still taking their side?"
This stupid woman is just as foolish as her uncle, and she's so vain!
Su Niannian was unmoved and retorted, "You're the idiot! Didn't you hear that they were trying to get your forgiveness so that I could go home and reunite with them because you were chasing me?"
You are the real culprit who separated me from my family.
Si Lijue's face darkened, and his angry voice rang out: "Su Niannian, have you forgotten who started this? Do I need to remind you?"
Has he been too nice to her lately?
This caused her to lose her sense of right and wrong, become lawless, and start distorting the truth and making baseless accusations against him.
Reminded by the revelation, Su Niannian felt guilty and ashamed, and her aura instantly weakened. She shrank back, fidgeted with her fingers, and awkwardly laughed, "Sorry, I... I just misspoke."
The culprit is me, not you. It's all my fault, please don't be angry anymore.
"Okay! As long as you behave and don't provoke me, I won't be angry." Si Lijue's coldness dissipated, and his tone softened.
He felt that he was quite pathetic, unable to bear seeing Su Niannian cry, unable to bear seeing her angry, and even more unable to bear seeing her suffer.
