Chapter 247 Discussion
Old Master Si was also extremely dissatisfied with this, his face full of coldness.
Seeing this, Si Zuochen took the opportunity to speak, feigning to comfort him, "It must be because the situation was urgent that Daddy couldn't think things through properly and had no choice but to use this method."
Hearing Si Zuochen speak up for him, Old Master Si's anger only increased, and he coldly rebuked, "You don't need to explain for him!"
What a helpless act!
What more needs to be said about dragging others down because of a woman like that?
Seeing the old man's displeased expression, Si Zuochen lowered his eyes slightly and listened as he coldly rebuked Si Yanxiao for his faults until it was nearly evening and the sky was dark. Only then did he leave with Si Youlin.
Back at the villa, Si Zuochen ran into the butler. He paused, then stepped forward and asked, "Where is she?"
Upon hearing this, the butler immediately understood and replied softly, "Madam has been in her room all day and hasn't come out."
"Okay." Si Zuochen nodded slightly and replied.
Then he and Si Youlin went upstairs on their own. Jiang Ran was in her room casting a divination when a sudden knocking sound came from outside the door.
"Come in!"
Upon hearing this, Si Zuochen pushed open the door and entered, followed closely by Si Youlin. Jiang Ran also stopped what she was doing, looked up at the two of them, and saw that Si Zuochen's brows were slightly furrowed and his expression was displeased.
Seeing this, Jiang Ran's eyes flashed with surprise, and then she asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? You look sullen."
Si Zuochen pursed his lips slightly and glanced at her. Seeing the confusion on her face, he hesitated, unsure whether to speak or not.
Seeing that he remained silent, Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but urge him, "Hmm?"
Si Zuochen reached out and lightly touched the tip of his nose to ease the awkwardness slightly. His gaze darkened slightly as he slowly began to recount the whole story to Jiang Ran.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran's face darkened, and she coldly rebuked him, "Didn't we agree to keep it a secret? How could you suddenly tell him something like this?"
“His health is deteriorating, and telling him would only cause him more worry.”
Si Zuochen listened to his reprimand, lowered his eyes slightly, and replied in a deep voice: "But plans can't keep up with changes. Bai Zhuwei's initiative to go to the old house must have been for some ulterior motive. Who knows what she said to Grandpa, adding fuel to the fire?"
Si Youlin chimed in, "That's right, we only brought this up because we had no other choice."
"Besides, what's wrong with saying the truth?"
Seeing that the two were speaking eloquently and logically, Jiang Ran's eyes flickered, and a hint of helplessness flashed across her face.
What they said makes sense, but the situation is now unpredictable, and knowing more people would only increase the danger and bring no benefit.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ran sighed softly to herself: "Fine, but next time you must not act impulsively again. If there is anything, discuss it with us before doing it."
After hearing this, Si Zuochen lowered his eyes slightly but did not respond.
Instead, he spoke up in confusion, "But what is Bai Zhuwei doing at the old house all of a sudden?"
His words revealed his undisguised disgust.
As Jiang Ran listened, a look of confusion also flashed across her face. She was now certain that Bai Zhuwei and the person behind the scenes were definitely connected, but she was just struggling to find evidence.
Now that she's taking the initiative to approach the old man, it's probably not just because of personal grudges.
Could it be... that the person behind this has set their sights on the old man again?!
Thinking of this, Jiang Ran's eyes suddenly turned cold, and a sinister glint flashed in her eyes. Si Zuochen noticed her sudden change in expression and looked puzzled, but he didn't say anything.
After a moment of contemplation, Jiang Ran slowly came back to her senses, suddenly raising her eyes to look at Si Zuochen and Si Youlin, her worried expression clearly visible.
He then replied in a deep voice, "I'm afraid the people coming from the other side are not friendly. We absolutely cannot let her succeed."
Then, with a slight pursing of his lips and a hint of hesitation in his eyes, he continued, "Right now, there's a tricky matter that I need your help with."
Upon hearing this, a look of surprise flashed across Si Youlin's face, and he quickly asked, "What is it? Tell me."
"Her current lawsuit against Si Jiliang for plotting against her is probably something she orchestrated herself."
"If Si Jiliang is locked up in a detention center, it means we are already at a disadvantage. We absolutely cannot allow this to happen!"
Jiang Ran slowly opened her mouth and said seriously, recalling Bai Zhuwei's despicable methods, a wave of disgust rose in her heart.
Upon hearing this, Si Zuochen and Si Youlin exchanged a glance, their brows furrowing slightly, a hint of hesitation flashing across their faces.
Si Jiliang's identity was special, and they originally intended to remain neutral and not get involved.
But now they have to change their minds and unite against external forces.
Jiang Ran noticed the hesitation on their faces, pursed her lips slightly, and said in a deep voice, "This matter is only Bai Zhuwei's side of the story, and the truth has not yet been determined."
"The only solution right now is to get in touch with Si Yanxiao."
Si Zuochen frowned slightly as he listened to Jiang Ran's plan, and asked in surprise, "Daddy?"
Jiang Ran nodded slightly and replied, "Yes, I went to see him before but it was no use. If you're willing to help..."
As he spoke, he paused slightly, glanced at the expressions of the two people, and seeing that there was nothing amiss, continued speaking.
"Perhaps Si Yanxiao will still listen to what I say."
Upon hearing this, Si Zuochen's eyes narrowed, and his mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts.
After pondering for a long time, he slowly replied, "Okay, but I can't guarantee the outcome. I can only do my best."
After all, Si Jiliang's status was what it was, and he was in an adversarial relationship with Si Yanxiao.
Furthermore, Bai Zhuwei holds extraordinary significance for Si Yanxiao, so this matter is unlikely to be easily resolved with just a few words of pleading.
"Hmm." Jiang Ran's gaze darkened slightly as she responded in a low voice.
After reaching an agreement, Si Zuochen and Si Youlin turned around and headed towards the company.
To avoid a repeat of the previous situation, this time Si Zuochen directly called Gu Nan and asked him to come downstairs to pick him up.
Gu Nan was handling official business when she received a call from Si Zuochen. A look of surprise flashed across her face before she swiped to answer. The receiver then announced that Si Zuochen had arrived downstairs.
Upon hearing this, Gu Nan's face flashed with surprise. She then quickly went downstairs and saw that Si Zuochen and Si Youlin were already waiting downstairs.
Why did you suddenly come here?
"Uncle Anan, is Daddy here?" Si Zuochen avoided answering and asked directly.
"He should be in the office," Gu Nan replied in a deep voice, without asking any further questions, and led them directly to the president's office.
At the same time, Si Yanxiao and Bai Zhuwei faced each other. As she talked about visiting the old man at the old house today, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
He still asked in a cold voice, "What are you doing at the old house if you have nothing to do?"
Bai Zhuwei sensed the displeasure in his words, her eyes narrowed slightly, but her expression remained unchanged.
He feigned concern and explained, "I heard that the old man has been unwell recently. It's been so many years since I've seen him, so I went to pay him a visit."
Upon hearing this, Si Yanxiao couldn't find a single fault in his words.
Just then, a sudden knocking sounded at the door.
Their conversation was interrupted. Si Yanxiao coughed twice and said in a deep voice, "Come in!"
Gu Nan pushed open the door and entered, followed by Si Zuochen and Si Youlin. As soon as she entered, she met Bai Zhuwei's gaze.
Upon seeing this, Gu Nan was immediately startled. She hadn't expected Bai Zhuwei to be here as well, and they had just happened to bump into her. It was too late to leave now.
Upon seeing the newcomers, Si Yanxiao frowned, glared at Gu Nan, and coldly questioned, "Why did you bring them up here?"
"I..." Gu Nan was about to explain when Si Zuochen interrupted her.
He raised his eyes to look at Si Yanxiao, a cold glint in them, and asked in a cold voice, "What? Did we come at the wrong time?"
Upon hearing this, Si Yanxiao's expression changed, his lips pursed slightly, and he explained in a low voice, "Of course not, don't overthink it."
Bai Zhuwei watched Si Yanxiao gently comforting her, feeling utterly superfluous. Then, her eyes sharpened, a hint of coldness flashing in them.
Si Zuochen had already seen through her true colors. Seeing her feigned kindness now, he felt a chill and was disgusted. He looked at her coldly, a look of disdain flashing across his face, and suddenly let out a cold sneer.
Her expression of disgust was so obvious that everyone present could see it, and Bai Zhuwei's face instantly turned quite ugly.
Seeing the atmosphere instantly become tense, Gu Nan sighed inwardly and then said, "I still have official business to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."
