Chapter 141 Exposed Space
What? !
Lan Yiyi's eyes widened.
Is her hearing damaged? Si Bai likes her? When did this happen?
Thinking back on their experiences together, especially what Si Bai said to her in Deserted Island 2, Lan Yiyi just couldn't believe that this man would like her.
He made concessions for Lan Xiaobo, right?
After all, Lan Xiaobo depends on her a lot, and Si Bai must be worried that Lan Xiaobo won't be able to adapt to the days without his mother around.
Thinking of this, she felt mixed emotions and her voice became heavier.
"Si Bai, I've made it very clear to you. We were both victims in that incident. I don't need your sympathy or compensation. If you're doing this for Xiao Bo, then there's no need for this. We can be friends and raise Xiao Bo together..."
Si Bai heard the rejection in her words, smiled bitterly and shook his head, but his tone was very firm: "I don't want to be friends with you."
Lan Yiyi was stunned.
She could clearly hear the sound of her heart beating in her chest, which was getting faster and faster, making her dizzy.
Don't want to be friends? Then what?
She raised her head slightly and glanced at the person in front of her.
Well, she has a pretty face and a good figure, and is pleasing to the eye. If it is that kind of relationship, it is not impossible... Anyway, she will not suffer any loss.
No, no, no, the more I think about it, the more biased it gets!
Lan Yiyi was so scared that she shook her head hard to get rid of the yellow waste in her brain.
Lan Yiyi: "No, no, we can only be friends!"
Si Bai was stunned. He didn't expect Lan Yiyi to refuse so bluntly.
This was the only woman he had ever been attracted to. Even though there was only a meter between them, it felt like someone had carved a huge chasm between them.
He couldn't enter Lan Yiyi's world.
Si Bai lowered his head and sighed, and when he looked up again, his eyes were as cold as usual.
"Okay, as you wish."
The basement was silent, and the indescribable charming atmosphere disappeared in an instant.
"Ah? Oh oh oh." Lan Yiyi's heart skipped a beat and she responded in a panic.
She thought she would be happy.
But she didn't.
She was so confused that she didn't even know what to say or do next.
By the way, what is she doing here?
Thinking of this, Lan Yiyi abruptly changed the subject as if she had found a life-saving straw.
"How did you know I was here? Did Lan Xiaobo tell you? Oh, you shouldn't have come. I have a way to escape on my own, but with you here, there's no way."
His tone revealed a nervousness that he himself was not aware of.
Si Bai nodded slightly, "It's Xiaobo." He looked around and asked, "How are you going to get out?"
He became the indifferent and noble Mr. Si again.
There is only one exit from the basement.
Unless you can walk through walls, you definitely can't get out.
Lan Yiyi opened her mouth, but hesitated to speak.
That's right, she dared to come here alone because she relied on her own space, where she could hide when in danger, and Si Sheng couldn't hurt her at all. But Si Bai didn't have a space, so why would he rashly come here to die?
She realized later that it was strange that Si Bai came here alone and disregarded his own safety.
Could it be... Si Bai really likes her?
Lan Yiyi was shocked by the idea.
"Although you can't get out, you can disappear, right?" Si Bai asked.
Facing the man's determined gaze, Lan Yiyi's scalp tingled. She felt that she had nowhere to hide in front of him and all her secrets had been exposed.
"I don't know what you're talking about. I need to go to the bathroom."
After saying this, she hurriedly got up and ran to the bathroom as if escaping.
…
Through road surveillance, J saw Si Bai walking into Si Sheng's house alone. He was shocked and immediately called Si Qi to inform him.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Si, who was standing nearby, had sharp ears and heard roughly what was said in the conversation.
When Si Qi hung up the phone and was about to leave, Madam Si ordered the housekeeper to stop him.
"Aqi, you go back to the headquarters and take charge. I'll go there myself."
Si Qi was helpless. "Mom, what can you do there? Will Si Sheng give you face?"
"Hmph, do I need him to give me face?" Madam Si slammed her palm on the table, her expression stern. "He killed my son and daughter-in-law, and almost harmed Xiaobai. It's time to settle this account!"
"How do we calculate it? We have no evidence."
"Evidence?" Madam Si sneered, "Ah Qi, this is why I didn't let you take charge of the group. You're too conventional."
The Si family doesn't need evidence when doing things!
Madam Si acted decisively, and luxury cars drove out of the Si family's old house and sped towards the west of the city.
Si Qi obediently went to the headquarters to take charge.
There has been recent internal turmoil at the South China Group, and coupled with Si Qi's sudden return to China, the outside world believed that he was dissatisfied with Madam Si handing over the company to Si Bai, and came back to seize power from his nephew.
Only the Si family members are clear-minded. Over the years, Si Sheng has relied on his status as the illegitimate son of the Si family to secretly win over the middle-level personnel of the group. From an insignificant marginal figure, he has gradually gained a certain degree of decision-making power and sometimes even interferes with Si Bai's decision-making.
The Si family does not allow Si Sheng to continue to grow.
Si Sheng also knew this.
After locking Lan Yiyi and Si Bai in the basement, he immediately sent his confidant to the South China Group headquarters, while he stayed behind to wait for the Si family to come.
If Si Bai is used to threaten Madam Si, does she want her grandson or the company?
Thinking of this scene, Si Sheng was very excited and went to the wine cellar to get a bottle of red wine from the 1980s.
After being oppressed by the old woman for more than forty years, I can finally take revenge today!
boom--
The roar of the car came from far away and soon stopped in the open space.
Madam Si, dressed in a plain cheongsam, was supported by her housekeeper as she stepped out of the luxury car. Unlike Si Bai, she was followed by a group of black-clad bodyguards.
The door of Si Sheng's house was open, as if he had been waiting for guests for a long time.
The housekeeper glanced into the room and advised with a worried look: "Old Madam, why don't we wait..."
"No need to wait." Madam Si waved her hand and walked into the house with firm steps.
Lan Yiyi calmed down in the bathroom for a few minutes and reluctantly accepted that Si Bai had known her biggest secret.
Now is not the time to hesitate, she must make a decision as soon as possible.
Another minute later, the toilet door opened.
Lan Yiyi waved to Si Bai, "Come here."
"What's the matter?" Si Bai asked as he walked and stopped at the toilet door.
Seeing that he refused to come in, Lan Yiyi reached out and pulled him in, then quickly closed the door.
Si Bai frowned and said, "Do we have to say it in the toilet?" He glanced at the toilet with a look of disgust.
"I have something important to tell you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lan Yiyi suddenly hugged Si Bai and pushed him into the corner.
Si Bai froze and looked at Lan Yiyi in disbelief.
Didn’t this woman just reject him?
"you……"
Before he could finish his words, Si Bai felt his vision blurred.
The smooth wall flickered a few times and gradually became transparent, as if there was a thick white mist surrounding them.
Soon, the fog dissipated.
What meets the eye is a vast expanse of emerald green land. Chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry roam through the forests, and in the nearby lakes, marine and freshwater fish swim...
Si Bai's pupils shrank. Aren't those the group of sea fish that Lan Yiyi gave him to eat on the deserted island?
