Chapter 47 When to Get the Marriage Certificate
Balcony, summer night, gentle breeze.
Si Yuan held a cup of hot tea, leaned against the railing, and looked down.
That cherry blossom tree stood alone, and it wasn't actually very pretty growing there.
It was probably because Song Yan always played with her under the tree when she was little that she liked that tree so much back then.
A figure approached from behind.
Lin Shuangyu smiled gently, but his voice was extremely cold: "Did you deliberately bring up yesterday's events in front of your parents?"
"yes."
Si Yuan answered fluently.
Lin Shuangyu didn't even have time to react.
"you……"
"Lin Shuangyu, are you afraid too?"
Lin Shuangyu narrowed his eyes: "What do you mean?"
"Someone like you is actually afraid of being discovered for what you've done. Then why did you do it in the first place? Was it because you didn't believe I would resist, or because you believed Song Yan would always stand by your side?"
Lin Shuangyu stared at Si Yuan without moving, her eyes filled with astonishment.
This was the first time she had ever seen Si Yuan like this.
"If you dare tell your uncle and aunt about these things, I'll make sure you lose all your reputation in the entire Haicheng!"
I have backups of all those diaries and photos.
Si Yuan knew she wouldn't use any clean methods.
All these years have passed, and they still only know how to use this one trick.
Just as Si Yuan was about to speak, Song Yan's voice rang out from behind her.
"Si Yuan".
He walked straight up to Si Yuan, his expression somewhat cold.
Lin Shuangyu smiled and went over to take Song Yan's hand, but Song Yan avoided her.
"Shuangyu, help your mother downstairs to rest."
Lin Shuangyu noticed that Song Yan's expression wasn't good, and knew that Song Yan had come to support him.
She raised an eyebrow, nodded, and found an excuse to leave with Song's mother.
On the balcony, only Song Yan and Si Yuan remained.
Si Yuan turned around and looked at the cherry blossom tree downstairs.
Song Yan suddenly asked, "Why did you suddenly bring up high school with Dad?"
Si Yuan smiled: "Brother is scared too?"
This smile was so unfamiliar that it immediately struck a nerve with Song Yan, hitting the spot he cared about most.
"I never imagined you could be so vicious."
Si Yuan turned around, tightening her grip on the cup little by little: "I never thought that one day you would use the word 'vicious' to describe me."
"Lin Shuangyu has already apologized to you, yet you still won't let it go. The family finally gets to have a reunion dinner, and you insist on provoking her at this time? Isn't this... isn't this malicious?"
"If this is wicked, then what is she?"
"You weren't entirely without fault in what happened back then?"
Si Yuan's eyes froze for a moment.
Song Yan stared straight at her and questioned her, "If you didn't have those kinds of thoughts, would Lin Shuangyu have made things difficult for you?"
"You imitated her depression and provoked her before the engagement, isn't it because you haven't let go of those messy thoughts?"
Song Yan didn't know what he really wanted.
He couldn't face Si Yuan's feelings directly.
But she didn't want Si Yuan to leave her.
"I'm your brother. What you should be doing is being a good sister, not using those underhanded tricks to cause trouble all the time!"
The last sentence was spoken rather loudly.
The decibels instantly felt like sharp thorns, crawling into Si Yuan's eardrums.
The stress response made her shudder with pain, and the cup in her hand fell to the ground.
She took a step back, her whole body trembling violently.
Song Yan noticed her expression was off and paused.
"What’s wrong with you?"
When Si Yuan saw his hand reach out, she almost instinctively pushed it away.
Whenever Song Yan encounters him, something bad happens...
She backed away in fear.
Song Yanzhen sensed something was wrong and grabbed Si Yuan's wrist. "Xiao Yuan..."
Before he could finish asking the question, Song Yan's fingertips touched an unusual bump on Si Yuan's arm.
He suddenly looked down and pulled open Si Yuan's sleeve.
He flipped it open.
It was as if a thunderbolt had exploded in Song Yan's ears.
He couldn't count how many scars there were.
The colors, varying in shade, are scattered across a slender arm.
There were also cigarette burns.
His mind went blank with a buzz.
Si Yuan has always been afraid of pain. She would show him even the smallest wounds and ask him to comfort her. So sometimes Song Yan even felt that he was the person who understood Si Yuan the most in the world, knowing exactly where all the wounds on her body were.
But when did so many hideous scars appear?
Si Yuan pulled her hand back and pulled down her sleeve.
What's with that expression on his face?
It's as if I've lost my memory; this is the first time I've found out.
A crack appeared on Song Yan's usually cold and composed face.
Having always lived a life of luxury, he had never seen so many scars in over twenty years.
At this moment, however, they all appeared on Si Yuan's body.
"What...what's going on?"
Si Yuan chuckled coldly, feeling that Song Yan was crocodile tears.
Crocodile tears.
"Why are you so surprised? There's still a lot left on your body, it's all healed. It's a pity that it doesn't look as exciting as it did at the beginning."
But Song Yan was even more shocked.
There are many more...
What does that mean?
Is it related to Lin Shuangyu?
Si Yuan gently pushed Song Yan away and pointed behind her with her chin, "Brother, sister-in-law is here."
After saying that, Si Yuan turned and left the balcony.
Lin Shuangyu watched her walk over coldly.
Si Yuan glanced at her, admiring her expression of constant fear that her misdeeds would be exposed.
So this is what it's like to be a villain.
No wonder Jiang Wanglao said he liked being a bad guy.
Lin Shuangyu sensed something was off about Si Yuan's expression.
She tentatively walked over and saw that Song Yan looked terrible; he had never shown such an expression before.
"Ayan, what's wrong?"
Song Yan slowly lowered his eyes and looked at Lin Shuangyu.
For the first time, he began to doubt the woman beside him with whom he was about to spend his life.
Lin Shuangyu was placed in the pool of candidates by his mother, but he ultimately chose him himself.
Because they knew each other well, were obedient, mature and steady, in Song's mother's words, they were very suitable candidates to be the daughter-in-law of the Song family.
But what exactly did she do to Si Yuan?
What are you still hiding from him?
But every time she was asked about it, she easily covered it up.
Song Yan lowered his eyes and shook his head: "It's nothing."
This time, he wanted to investigate himself.
Why were all the previously agreed-upon engagement decorations scrapped?
Lin Shuangyu was taken aback.
I knew he would ask, to support that bitch Si Yuan.
Her eyes drooped, looking aggrieved: "I really didn't know Xiaoyuan was in charge, so I definitely wouldn't make things difficult for her, but yesterday she clearly said it was no problem, and today she complained about how hard it was for her in front of Uncle and Aunt. I just didn't expect this..."
Song Yan looked at her indifferently.
After developing doubts, Lin Shuangyu's words became more or less tinged with theatrics.
"Ayan, are you blaming me?"
Song Yan smiled faintly: "How could that be? That's Si Yuan's job. She really shouldn't have complained to Dad about it."
Lin Shuangyu smiled with satisfaction.
——
People who have been subjected to psychological abuse for a long time will forget how to resist.
Whether in family relationships or social interactions.
But Si Yuan learned it.
The therapist said, "That's good. Have you found out what you wanted to know?"
"No, but I think it will be soon."
Si Yuan had just sent a message to the psychologist when she received a message from Jiang Wang.
When are you getting your marriage certificate?
Si Yuan's vision went black for a moment, then she slowly replied with a few words.
How many times a day do you ask that?
"I can't wait any longer."
Then the second one followed immediately.
When are you getting your marriage certificate?
"I scared Lin Shuangyu half to death today, I was so afraid that I would reveal her bad deeds!"
"Baby is so great."
"So when are you going to get the marriage certificate?"
Jiang, the repeater, indulges in this pleasure without tiring.
