Chapter 406 I Want to Be with You
The side branches were so angry that they almost vomited blood. This wave of losses was heavy!
Having finally caught Jiang Zhiyue's weakness, how could they miss this opportunity? They must use it to sow discord between Sheng Huaian and her.
The two sisters-in-law looked at each other and laughed, "Zhiyue's relationship with the heirs of several major families is ambiguous. We turned a blind eye to it before. Now that she has entered the Sheng family, if she continues to be so indulgent, outsiders will say that our old man is not strict enough in disciplining her."
"Master Qin is still like this even though he has a fiancée. I can't imagine what will happen to those men who already have families."
"Grandpa, I have a distant relative. Although his family background cannot be compared with that of a famous family, he is a good match for Zhiyue. The child is handsome, filial and polite, but a little fat. How about I arrange for them to meet after Zhiyue comes back?" The second sister-in-law said with a smile on her face.
"Second Madam, in a society ruled by law, relatives are more closely related. It's fine if you break the law knowingly outside, but you dare to bring your thoughts home? Do you think your family is not chaotic enough?"
Without waiting for Mr. Sheng to reply, Sheng Huaian bluntly retorted, "Second Uncle's investment has not been going well recently and he has lost more than 1 billion. I didn't expect you to have the leisure time to worry about Zhiyue's marriage."
His words were concise and to the point, stopping everyone's thoughts. "I think your precious grandson and the gardener Zhang Ma's daughter are a good match. I'll make the decision and prepare a dowry for them. It's exactly 1 billion yuan, and let your grandson marry her."
He raised his eyebrows, with a hint of cynicism on his face, and gave a look.
The grandson of the second wife's sister-in-law was forcibly grabbed by the bodyguards, screaming, "Get out of here! I don't want to marry that fat, uneducated, poor poor man!"
Sheng Huaian's behavior became more and more unscrupulous, so Old Man Sheng came out to smooth things over. After asking the reason, he learned that Sheng Huaian had sent people to look for Jiang Zhiyue, so he let the matter go.
Sheng Huaian was used to these people's attitude of wanting nothing but chaos in the world. Before leaving, he just smiled contemptuously and said, "I heard that everyone has suffered heavy losses in the investment field recently. Although you belong to the side branch, you still represent the face of the Sheng family when you leave home. If you don't have that kind of brain, don't embarrass yourself outside and bring shame upon yourself."
"If you lose all your family fortune one day, will you come here to beg?"
He walked away carelessly, and the moment he turned back, Mr. Sheng looked at him with unclear eyes.
Sheng Huaian's mouth corners slightly raised again, and his eyes glanced vaguely. Old Master Sheng was very angry. The servant beside him was carefully comforting him, handing him a bowl of tonic in blue and white porcelain, and urging him to drink something cool to cool down.
In the porcelain bowl, a spoonful of sweet fragrance rises.
Mr. Sheng took a sip, took a deep breath, and cursed, "Traitor!"
Sheng Huaian withdrew his gaze, strode away, and never looked back.
......
A ray of light came in from the cracks in the rocks, and the cave was pitch black with a chilly wind howling.
With the weak light of the flashlight, Jiang Zhiyue finally found a place to stay.
Qin Si took her and ran madly.
The modified super sports car was running on the road like a wild horse. The scenery outside the window turned into blurred light and shadow, passing by in front of the eyes like a phantom.
The sports car finally stopped at an intersection. He successfully shook off the pursuing vehicles behind him, then abandoned the car, held her hand, and continued running forward.
The forest that blocks out the sun is the edge of the city. The overgrown paths and the silence in the dense forest are suffocating.
Only the sound of wind and rubbing branches whistled in my ears. At this moment, even time lost its meaning.
It was like an endless maze, with endless winding paths that made people lose their way, but Qin Si seemed to be very familiar with this place.
He seemed to be able to blend himself into this dark forest very well and hide deeply.
"Did you listen to me?"
Jiang Zhiyue couldn't keep up with his pace. She was so tired that she was panting. The next second, the man's strong arms picked her up.
"Qin Si!"
Jiang Zhiyue's voice carried a hint of anger.
"Who wants to run away with you? I didn't agree!"
She told him repeatedly, but he seemed not to hear her.
It was not until they entered the cave that the man finally let Jiang Zhiyue go. She was so angry that she started to beat him, but he stood there motionless. In the dark, with a glimpse of a tiny light, she could see his cold expression and a faint curve at the corner of his mouth.
"Is this what you look like when you're angry?"
He was not familiar with her emotions. She always seemed exceptionally quiet, making people want to break that seemingly calm appearance.
"I didn't agree to go on the run with you. You are just talking nonsense."
The girl's voice almost sounded like crying.
The man reached out and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. There were no tears falling, just physiological moisture at the corners of her eyes.
"Leaving the Qin family means living on the run." Qin Si explained to her patiently.
"I didn't ask you to leave the Qin family." Jiang Zhiyue felt that she couldn't communicate, as if she was back to the time when they first got together in the slums, and he always ignored her voice.
"I think..." The man's voice sounded at the right time, and his tone was less cold than before.
Jiang Zhiyue was stunned.
She sat on a rock, breathing slightly, and raised the light of the flashlight in her hand upwards, illuminating the man's indifferent face more clearly.
His eyebrows, his eyes, his lips, every detail was frozen in light and shadow.
Qin Si looked at her quietly.
Just like now, the two of them were silently in a place where no one was looking for them. He stood in front of her, and she sat angrily in front of him, so close that he could easily touch her as long as he stretched out his hand.
Her anger, her helplessness, her boredom, and her grievances were all caused by him.
His world is filled with too many noisy sounds.
The honor of the family, the faith of the clan members, the burden of multiplying the family, expanding the family, and continuing this glory forever.
At this moment, Qin Si felt that nothing could compare to the subtle and vivid expression on her face in his eyes.
"Do you think I'm impulsive?" He asked hesitantly and slowly.
Jiang Zhiyue believed that her expression had already proved her answer.
"Whatever you do, you never ask my opinion. You only do what you believe in." She had to tell him this fact that was difficult to explain, and the blame in her tone was obvious.
Qin Si's thin lips were tightly pursed, and then a very shallow arc appeared. He suddenly sat next to Jiang Zhiyue, and Jiang Zhiyue immediately moved to the side.
The man remained calm and moved closer to her.
Jiang Zhiyue moved away again, but Qin Si pushed her to a position where she had no way to retreat, and then grabbed her hand.
