Chapter 245 A Visit
Jiang Ran lowered her eyes slightly and began to recount the events in a deep voice.
Both of them were shocked to hear this, never expecting such a thing to happen.
Upon hearing that she had specifically gone to Si Yanxiao to try and help Si Jiliang, Si Youlin's brows furrowed suddenly, his expression displeased, and his tone subtly tinged with resentment as he coldly asked, "Why do you want to help him?"
"Are you just looking for trouble? You know Daddy already has some reservations about your relationship, so why are you deliberately walking into the line of fire?"
Si Zuochen heard the displeasure in Si Youlin's tone, but did not speak up to stop him.
Although he had previously gotten along very well with Si Jiliang and they had hit it off, he began to distance himself from him after learning his identity.
Putting everything else aside, Jiang Ran's actions were indeed somewhat unnecessary.
Jiang Ran knew that the two of them were putting themselves in her shoes and thinking of her. She pursed her lips slightly, pondered for a moment, and then slowly explained, "I have also given this matter much thought to whether or not to help him."
"After all, this involves more than just him. He has no relation to Bai Zhuwei at all, so why would he want to do anything to her?"
"Besides, if they really wanted to do something, would they bring it back to their own villa and leave evidence for others?!"
Jiang Ran voiced her doubts, and Si Zuochen and Si Youlin pursed their lips, a thoughtful look flashing in their eyes.
Although they were unhappy with her helping Si Jiliang without permission, they were more upset with Bai Zhuwei.
Anyone with eyes can see at a glance that this whole thing was probably orchestrated by Bai Zhuwei.
After all, with Si Jiliang's status and position, what kind of woman couldn't he have? Why would he need to force himself on her?
Even they could understand such a simple truth, but Si Yanxiao chose to numb himself because of his biased mind.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ran couldn't help but admire Bai Zhuwei's deep cunning, as she was willing to use herself as bait.
Si Zuochen and Si Youlin lowered their eyes and pondered for a moment, then slowly raised their heads, their eyes meeting, a hint of certainty flashing in their eyes, before they nodded slightly.
Si Zuochen instantly understood, his brows furrowed slightly, and then he said in a deep voice, "Forget it, since it has already happened, there's no point in saying anything more."
What are you going to do?
Seeing that he had returned the decision to her, Jiang Ran pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly replied, "No matter what, we can't let Bai Zhuwei get away with it."
"There are many suspicious points in this matter. Give me time, and I will definitely be able to find out the truth!"
Seeing that Jiang Ran was clearly determined to investigate the matter thoroughly, Si Zuochen's face flashed with helplessness, then he sighed softly and said in a low voice, "Whatever you say."
After saying that, Jiang Ran lowered her eyes and stared intently at them, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Seeing this, Si Zuochen's face showed a hint of helplessness, and he said in a low voice, "Don't worry, we won't say anything to Grandpa. We will remain neutral on this matter."
After all, compared to Cheese Ji Liang, their hostility towards Bai Zhu Wei was much deeper.
"And we will help keep Bai Zhuwei's kidnapping a secret, so as not to make Grandpa angry over such a trivial matter."
Hearing Si Zuochen's affirmative answer, Jiang Ran's brows relaxed slightly, and she felt a little more at ease.
His eyes flashed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "The situation is not optimistic. Since Bai Zhuwei has set her sights on Si Jiliang, who knows what she will do next?"
"If you have nothing to do during this time, go and keep the old man company, so that he won't be approached maliciously by some idle people."
Upon hearing this, both Si Zuochen and Si Youlin frowned, a hint of unease flashing through their hearts, before replying, "Okay."
After saying that, he discussed it briefly with Jiang Ran, then turned and left, contacting the driver to head towards the old house.
Upon arriving at the old house, just as Zhou Jinyan was leaving, Si Zuochen's eyes flickered slightly, and he and Si Youlin quickly stepped forward and softly called out, "Uncle Yan."
When Zhou Jinyan saw them, her eyes lit up, and she nodded slightly in response.
Then he said, "The old man is not feeling well, you should go in and take a look."
Upon hearing this, Si Zuochen and Si Youlin were startled. Without bothering with pleasantries, they responded in hushed tones and hurried toward the main hall.
The old man was now awake and was slowly getting up to deal with the matter when a sudden knocking sounded at the door.
Before he could speak, Si Zuochen and Si Youlin pushed open the door one after the other and entered, their faces full of anxiety, and hurriedly walked towards the bedside.
Seeing that the old man looked unwell, Si Zuochen quickly asked, "Grandpa, what's wrong?"
Old Master Si's eyes darkened. He hadn't expected them to visit so suddenly. At this moment, he was unaware that they already knew about Si Jiliang's affairs, and he simply made up an excuse to smooth things over.
Si Zuochen vaguely sensed that the old man was hiding something, but he didn't think much of it.
They sat down to the side and watched over the old man. For a moment, the old man was also constrained by them and had no way to deal with the case.
Meanwhile, Bai Zhuwei quietly sneaked into the Si family's old mansion, trying to explain things to the old man.
But Si Zuochen and Si Youlin stayed by his side the whole time, never leaving, so she had no way to make a move.
Left with no other choice, they devised a plan to have the servants lure the two away under some pretext.
Si Zuochen and Si Youlin were attending to the old man when there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Come in!" Si Zuochen said in a deep voice.
The servant pushed the door open and entered, scanning Si Zuochen and Si Youlin before slowly saying, "Young masters, the butler has something to discuss with you."
"Uncle Butler?" Si Zuochen's face showed a hint of surprise upon hearing this.
But he didn't suspect anything, thinking that since they were at home, what could possibly happen?
Then he and Si Youlin got up and went to ask the butler about the matter.
No sooner had they left than the old man's door was pushed open.
Old Master Si kept his eyes closed and didn't open them, but asked directly, "Why are you back again?"
For a long time, the person on the other end did not respond.
The old man pursed his lips slightly, a look of surprise flashing across his face. He then opened his eyes and saw that it was not the twins who had returned, but Bai Zhuwei standing in front of him.
Upon seeing who it was, Old Master Si's eyes narrowed sharply, his face filled with disgust, and he coldly questioned, "Who let you in!"
As he spoke, he got up and tried to shoo the person away.
Seeing this, Bai Zhuwei raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled, saying in a deep voice, "I never expected that we would meet again under such circumstances after six years."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Si frowned, his eyes filled with malice, and he coldly rebuked, "Get out! You are not worthy to enter the Si family's door!"
Without holding back any words, Bai Zhuwei's expression gradually turned somewhat ugly upon hearing them.
Despite suppressing her anger, she looked up at the old man and sneered, "Why are you getting so worked up? Don't you want to hear why I'm here?"
Old Master Si had no liking for her, and seeing that she was about to spout nonsense in front of him, he was about to reprimand her sternly.
Bai Zhuwei spoke first, her voice cold: "For example, Si Jiliang..."
When Old Master Si heard her mention that name, his face darkened, and he instantly realized that she was only saying these things to threaten him.
He then pressed his thin lips together, forcibly suppressing the disgust in his heart, and asked coldly, "What do you want to say?!" Bai Zhuwei narrowed her eyes, a cold glint flashing in them, and then slowly said in a deep voice, "Don't be anxious. For the sake of our past relationship, rest assured, I can let bygones be bygones regarding Si Jiliang's attempt to take liberties with me. Withdrawing the charges is just a matter of a word from me."
Hearing her words, Old Master Si showed no joy on his face, and looked at Bai Zhuwei with a cold gaze, his eyes full of icy intent.
Past favors?!
She caused Si Yanxiao to be in a coma for six years, like a vegetable. Now she still dares to mention their past relationship?
He was already being incredibly kind by not sending anyone to get rid of her, and now she dares to act so arrogantly in front of him?!
Bai Zhuwei clearly sensed the old man's hostility towards her. Her eyes flickered slightly, but she didn't seem to care at all.
Ultimately, she now has the upper hand, and no matter how much the old man dislikes her, he has no choice but to tolerate her continuing to stay here.
“However…” Bai Zhuwei paused slightly, looked up at Old Master Si, raised her eyebrows slightly, and hesitated to speak.
Seeing that she remained silent, the old man's eyes narrowed, and a hint of displeasure flashed across his face. He said coldly, "Speak up if you have something to say, or get out if you're hesitating!"
