Jiang Nian had no idea what kind of ill-fated relationship this was.
He gave a cold laugh: "Where did you hear that from?"
Si Boye suddenly raised an eyebrow, his eyes narrowing slightly: "You'll know once you get in the car."
Si Boye's men were quick-witted and immediately opened the rear door of the black Bentley, standing respectfully beside it: "Miss, please get in the car."
Han Xu frowned and reached out to grab Jiang Nian's wrist: "Sister Nian..."
Han Xu knew that the Si family's background was not as simple as that of the Ji family and his family, who were only involved in business. Rather, they had connections in the military, political, and business spheres, and even the underworld, and their influence was extensive.
As the sole heir of the Si family, Si Boye had never attended any high-society events before. He was also rumored to be ruthless and capricious, and people referred to him as "[that person]" when they talked about him.
Now that he has met this person, he feels that this person looks dangerous, but getting to know him is even more dangerous.
Han Xu was worried that Jiang Nian wouldn't be able to handle it alone.
Jiang Nian didn't hesitate.
Someone like Si Boye wouldn't need to go through all this trouble if he wanted to do anything to her.
So he picked up his schoolbag and said, "I'll go with him, you go home first."
Han Xu also insisted: "No, I'll go with you."
Han Xu wanted to get on the car too, but was blocked by two men in suits.
Si Boye stared at Jiang Nian's wrist as he grabbed him, and said casually, "Young Master Han, I heard you ran away from home. Your father has been looking for your address. If you don't want the location of your apartment building to be exposed, you should go back first."
Han Xu froze, looking up in disbelief: "Si Boye, you're so despicable?!"
Si Boye smiled, taking it as a compliment: "Thank you for the compliment."
Jiang Nian gave Han Xu a look, signaling him to stop arguing. She wanted to see where this man wanted to take her and what he wanted to do with her.
Before getting into the car, Si Boye gave one of his men a look, and the group immediately understood.
After the car started and drove away, they put on gloves in an orderly manner and threw the group of people who were lying sprawled on the ground into the car.
When that young lady got into a fight, their Mr. Bo actually took on the responsibility of cleaning up the mess...
This is unprecedented. It seems that Master Bo's feelings for this young lady are indeed extraordinary.
Sitting in the car, Jiang Nian remained silent.
Si Boye, who was standing next to him, came closer and seemed to be in a good mood: "Your glasses broke in the fight?"
"It's good that it's broken. It was never a truly obedient little rabbit to begin with. Even if you hide your eyes, you can't hide your sharp little claws."
Jiang Nian's eyes were cold: "Are you holding a grudge against me for threatening you with a knife last night?"
Si Boye lit a cigarette: "Do you think I'm that petty? Didn't we already say we're even?"
Jiang Nian said directly, "Then tell the driver to stop the car, and I'll get out."
Si Boye remained completely calm: "Don't rush, maybe we're headed for the same place."
Jiang Nian then noticed the scenery outside the car.
The more I look at it, the more familiar it seems.
He couldn't help but frown slightly. Wasn't this the road leading to the Ji family's residence?
Sure enough, ten minutes later, the Bentley drove into the Ji family's manor.
Jiang Nian found it utterly baffling.
Was this man there to take her home? But if he was just taking her home, why did he come in too?
Si Boye got out of the car first and very gentlemanly opened the car door for Jiang Nian, even thoughtfully shielding her head from the car edge.
It's just like a wolf in sheep's clothing pretending to be a good person.
Jiang Nian dodged and walked home.
Upon entering the living room, one could see Old Master Ji sitting on the sofa, his face glowing with health.
After taking those few energy-boosting pills and the traditional Chinese medicine she personally prepared, my grandfather's complexion was completely different from when I first saw him yesterday. Now he not only speaks without being out of breath, but he can also get out of bed.
Sitting next to Grandpa Ji was an elderly man of similar age to my maternal grandfather, with an air of authority, who seemed somewhat familiar.
Upon seeing Jiang Nian enter, Grandpa Ji exclaimed with delight, "Ah, our Nian Nian is back from school. Lao Cheng, this is my granddaughter Jiang Nian."
Meanwhile, Si Boye, who had been nonchalant in public, stepped forward and called out, "Grandpa."
This old man is Si Chengzhi, the chairman of the Si Group and the grandfather of Si Boye.
"You're Niannian? This child is truly beautiful, she looks exactly like Yixue used to be." Old Master Si beckoned, gesturing for Jiang Nian to sit down.
He gently took her hand and said, "Niannian, Grandpa Si came today to apologize to you."
Apologize?
How could someone as important as Grandpa Si apologize to a high school student like her?
Grandpa Si said, "Niannian, it was Bo Ye who picked you up from school. You should know that by now. The previous story about the plane crash was just a misunderstanding."
"Bo Ye was tricked by people in Southeast Asia, and he hasn't shown up for the past two weeks in order to resolve this matter. But this child is also unfilial, actually keeping it from even us family members."
"I only found out today that my daughter-in-law had secretly gone to the Jiang family to arrange a marriage for her husband's return to his family a few days ago, behind my back and my wife's back. I never expected that you were Old Ji's long-lost granddaughter."
“Old Ji and I have been friends for decades. It’s a good thing this didn’t happen, otherwise, if you were to marry into our Si family like this, where would I put my old face?”
Old Master Ji sneered, "Hmph, it's all because of Jiang Niannian's beastly father, who actually used a child like this! I really... cough cough..."
Thinking of what Jiang Sheng and Chen Fulan had done to Jiang Nian, Old Master Ji became angry and started coughing again.
Jiang Nian immediately went over to help him calm down: "Grandpa, don't be angry. I didn't marry into the family, did I?"
At this point, Old Master Si looked at Jiang Nian.
"Niannian, I heard from Bo Ye that you two knew each other before?"
