However, this time Shi Yuan has crossed his line. If anything happens to Youyou, he will not let his younger brother off the hook!
Shi Zhan gave Song Shaojie a brief reply:
[He/She's not here, got it!]
Upon seeing Shi Zhan's reply, Song Shaojie understood that Shi Zhan must have known all of this, and that his biggest concern right now was Liu Xiaolan.
He had already lost interest in the engagement party and was about to leave when Xiao Yiqing stopped him and asked tentatively,
"Brother Shaojie, where are you going?"
Song Shaojie's patience with Xiao Yiqing was almost worn out, and he said impatiently,
"Where am I going? There's no need for me to report to you!"
"Song Shaojie, is there any need for you to get so angry? Are you feeling guilty and want to go find that little vixen?"
Upon hearing Xiao Yiqing call Liu Xiaolan a little vixen, Song Shaojie's temper flared up instantly.
"Xiao Yiqing! You sent someone to kill Xiao Lan's mother. Don't think I don't know. I will remember this, and one day I will make you pay for it!"
Xiao Yiqing was shocked. How did he know that I was the one who did this?
The thought flashed through her mind for a moment, then she quickly suppressed it, merely offering a slight smile.
"What? Her mother is gone? Oh—this is truly retribution. That little vixen dared to seduce my fiancé. This is God punishing her. If she remains obstinate, perhaps God will turn on her!"
"You dare!"
A chilling glint flashed in Song Shaojie's eyes.
However, Xiao Yiqing had already reached a point of psychological distortion and perversion. She showed no fear of Song Shaojie's chilling gaze, instead bursting into laughter.
"Song Shaojie, why are you so nervous? I'm not the murderer, what can I do?"
"That man with the scar on his face, he's one of yours, isn't he!"
"So what if it is? So what if it isn't? I don't understand what you're saying, but if you want to mess with me, produce the evidence!"
"Then you wait!"
Song Shaojie didn't want to deal with her anymore and turned to leave.
Xiao Yiqing stared maliciously at Song Shaojie's back, then made a phone call to her subordinate.
"You have one hour to catch that bitch Liu Xiaolan!"
After receiving the order, the other side immediately took action.
Meanwhile, Wu Youyou was in the villa, watching TV out of boredom, when she happened to see news about the engagement between the Shi and Wei families. There was a live broadcast by the media, and when she saw Shi Yuan, she was shocked and sat up!
"Shi Yuan succeeded? He really took Shi Zhan's place and got engaged to Wei Ziyao?"
Wu Youyou paced back and forth, quite incredulous. She thought to herself, "This Wei Ziyao likes Shi Zhan so much, yet she's willing to get engaged to someone else. And from the TV, it seems like she did it voluntarily, without any coercion."
What exactly happened?
She was immediately terrified.
"Oh no, is Shi Zhan already on his way?!"
Wu Youyou was extremely nervous at this moment. Was he really willing to give up his engagement and come to save her?
Wu Youyou was somewhat lost in thought...
At this moment, two burly men entered, carrying food and red wine. They placed the food and wine on the table for Wu Youyou, and one of them said very politely,
"Miss Wu, lunch has been prepared for you. It's a double portion. My second young master said that the eldest young master will be arriving soon and will definitely be hungry. So, this meal is my second young master's way of apologizing!"
Looking at the abundant food on the table, Wu Youyou's stomach started growling uncontrollably. She said, somewhat embarrassed,
"I'm so sorry, thank you!"
"Miss Wu, you're too kind. The young master should arrive in less than five minutes, so there's no need for us to wait here. Enjoy your meal!"
Wu Youyou wanted to say something more, but the two of them turned and left.
Wu Youyou drew back the curtains and saw the two of them drive away at high speed.
Her mind was in even greater turmoil at this moment.
Although she was not very willing to cooperate with Shi Yuan in deceiving him, the circumstances had already determined that she would be his partner.
The thought that Shi Zhan hated being lied to, especially when it involved himself and his brother, made her realize how much she hated it.
What is this called courting death?
What should we do?
Wu Youyou had an idea: why not tie herself up again and make her hair a little messy, just like in the photo?
That way, we can get away with it!
Due to the time constraints, Wu Youyou had no time to think of any perfect solutions and could only come up with this terrible idea.
No sooner said than done, Wu Youyou, following the tear-inducing method Shi Yuan had taught her yesterday, ran to the kitchen and started chopping onions.
Soon, her eyes couldn't take it anymore!
Then she ran to the bathroom mirror, messed up her hair into a terrible mess, looked at herself in the mirror, crying and looking miserable, and thought that was enough.
Finally, he took out the rope from yesterday and quickly tied himself to the chair.
He looked utterly dejected, as if he had suffered all kinds of grievances and torment.
At this moment, she closed her eyes tightly, letting the tears flow down her face like a spring.
He silently counted the time in his mind.
She heard the sound of a sports car speeding towards her and stopping outside the villa.
He's here...
Wu Youyou breathed heavily, her heart pounding, waiting for Shi Zhan to push the door open and enter.
She probably chopped the onions too quickly and roughly, and now her eyes are still very uncomfortable, with tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
With a "creak~" sound.
The door was opened.
She slowly opened her eyes, her vision blurred by too many tears.
She only saw a figure rushing towards her.
"Youyou, how are you?"
I heard his anxious voice in my ear.
She knew it was Shi Zhan as soon as she heard the voice!
He really came!
For some reason, Wu Youyou's tears flowed even more freely, whether it was the effect of the onions or her own psychological state.
Feeling someone so concerned for her, just like in a past life when he rushed towards her as she was dying.
She felt Shi Zhan quickly untie her ropes and pull her into his arms.
The voice was low, filled with fear and self-blame.
"Youyou, it's all my fault. I made you suffer. Don't be afraid, I'm here. With me here, no one will dare to bully you again!"
Wu Youyou secretly thought to herself that her acting skills were really good, and it seemed that getting a role in Director Huang's movie shouldn't be a problem.
After releasing her, Shi Zhan carefully inquired about Wu Youyou's health.
"Youyou, are you hurt anywhere? What did Shiyuan do to you? Did he bully you? Tell me!"
Wu Youyou originally wanted to get away with it, but seeing Shi Zhan like this, she couldn't bear it.
So he could only sigh helplessly.
"Shi Zhan, I'm fine, I'm alright!"
After saying that, she stood up, fixed her hair, and went to the bathroom to wash her face, complaining as she did so.
"This onion is so tear-inducing, it's torture!"
