Chapter 335 Unwilling
When Si Jiliang heard Jiang Ran's name mentioned in his words, he paused in his tea-pouring motion and couldn't help but listen carefully to the conversation.
"Come over here and clear your head," Si Zuochen replied softly, not mentioning the conflict between them to avoid worrying the old man.
Si Youlin looked at Si Zuochen with a puzzled expression and a question in his eyes. Si Zuochen then gestured for him to calm down.
Then, her gaze darkened slightly, and she continued speaking towards the old man, "Taking this opportunity, we want to match her with Daddy, so that some people with ulterior motives won't be eyeing us!"
Upon hearing this, Old Master Si immediately understood, his expression hardening as he coldly asked, "Bai Zhuwei has reappeared?"
"Hmm." Si Zuochen didn't hide anything, and then briefly explained how Bai Zhuwei used the gratitude from six years ago as leverage. Upon hearing this, the old man frowned, his expression growing increasingly cold, and then he sternly rebuked, "Ayan has been harmed to this extent by her, and she still has the nerve to say these things?! She's utterly shameless!"
Having navigated the business world for many years and seen countless people, he knew from the first glance that Bai Zhuwei was no ordinary person. Yet, he couldn't understand how Si Yanxiao had been bewitched by her, to the point that he was willing to fight with her for her sake, and even to the point of running away from home.
Bai Zhuwei has been in a coma for six years, yet she acts as if she's the victim, which is truly ironic!
Seeing that the old man was angry, Si Jiliang took the opportunity to step forward and gently pat the old man's back to comfort him.
Grandpa Si turned to look at Si Jiliang, nodded slightly, indicating that he was alright.
Little did he know that Si Jiliang was also lost in thought. The old man was only criticizing Bai Zhuwei, but wasn't he also a 'thoughtful person'?
Seeing the old man get angry, Si Zuochen and Si Youlin exchanged a glance, clearly his attitude was within their expectations.
Then Fu continued, "Grandpa, please don't be angry. Ah Lin and I have an idea, but we don't know if it's appropriate?"
"Go ahead," Old Master Si replied in a deep voice.
"We're planning to help them have a second child. That way, even if Bai Zhuwei tries anything else, it won't work!"
This idea was conceived after careful consideration by the two of them. Although the relationship between Daddy and Jiang Ran had eased somewhat, it was not stable. Not to mention, Bai Zhuwei was constantly playing dirty tricks and trying to sow discord between them.
As long as Bai Zhuwei is around, she will always be a potential threat.
Thinking of this, Si Zuochen continued, "Father has also vaguely seen through Bai Zhuwei's true nature and is disgusted with her, but he just can't make up his mind."
"Why not take this opportunity to tie them together and kill them!"
When Old Master Si heard their idea, his eyes lit up instantly. After all, Si Yanxiao and Jiang Ran had no feelings for each other for six years. It would be time-consuming to cultivate them slowly, and there would be no results.
There is nothing better than a child to serve as a bridge between two people.
But then she thought about it again. Si Zuochen and Si Youlin were also their biological children. They were just a little estranged because they hadn't been there for them as they grew up. It would be unfair to them if they had any other children.
He then pursed his lips slightly, hesitated, and said, "Then you..."
“You don’t need to worry about us,” Si Zuochen interrupted abruptly, then stated their position.
“As long as he was born of Jiang Ran, we are siblings from the same mother, and there will be no estrangement between Ah Lin and me.”
They have now let go of their resentment towards Jiang Ran. If they have another child, they will do their best to treat him well and make up for all the affection they didn't get when they were young!
Seeing that the two had expressed their opinions, the old man lowered his eyes and thought about it carefully for a moment, then praised them, saying, "Good idea! This way, even Bai Zhuwei won't be able to cause any more trouble."
Mentioning Bai Zhuwei, the old man's expression turned ugly again, and he said indignantly in a cold voice, "If it weren't for Ayan's tolerance of her, I would have expelled her from the country long ago and made her disappear from my sight forever!"
As he spoke, his face was full of hostility.
Si Jiliang listened from the side, his brows slightly lowered, and he sneered inwardly.
Deportation?!
If it were him, anyone who dared to spout nonsense under his nose and repeatedly refuse to learn from their mistakes would have been buried in a mass grave by now.
Can we really allow her to keep acting like this?!
But now it's Si Yanxiao's business, and it has nothing to do with him. Not to mention, deep down he even secretly hopes that Si Yanxiao can stay confused and reconcile with Bai Zhuwei.
In this way, his idea can be put into practice!
Si Zuochen echoed on the other end of the phone, and after discussion, the plan was unanimously approved, and the group instantly formed a new united front.
Even after hanging up the phone, the old man couldn't hide his joy and couldn't help but share his happiness with Si Jiliang.
But to Si Jiliang, it was a completely different story.
Watching helplessly as several people devise ways to get the person you like to be with someone else is something no one could accept.
But now he has to force a smile and agree with them.
The old man, however, was a typical case of pretending to be ignorant. He knew perfectly well that Si Jiliang's feelings for Jiang Ran were unusual, but he still deliberately brought it up in front of him, just to make him let go of these feelings as soon as possible and stop making futile struggles.
He couldn't show favoritism towards either of them, but he also couldn't back down in the slightest when it came to Jiang Ran!
Si Jiliang listened with his eyes down, his expression unreadable. He casually replied to a few words, then turned and left, making an excuse.
The old man looked down at his departing figure, a strange expression in his eyes, and then sighed helplessly.
After Si Jiliang left, he drove at high speed on the highway, his eyes cold and his brows full of hostility.
Si Yanxiao clearly doesn't care about Jiang Ran at all, and even went so far as to speak ill of her for Bai Zhuwei's sake, so why is it that even so, everyone is still on his side?
Does Jiang Ran deserve to have no autonomy, just because of that damned fate that she's tied to him?
Thinking of this, Si Jiliang's expression suddenly turned cold, and anger surged within him. He reached out and slammed his hand on the steering wheel, muttering a curse under his breath.
By the time he returned to his residence, it was already late at night. He glanced around and noticed a car with its high beams on, parked outside the villa.
Seeing this, a look of doubt flashed across Si Jiliang's face. Would someone come looking for him at this time?
He then honked the horn twice as a warning, and soon a familiar figure got out of the car opposite. Upon seeing who it was, Si Jiliang frowned slightly, his eyes instantly filled with coldness.
Bai Zhuwei walked slowly to his car, a slight smile playing on her lips, and said, "Why don't you hire any servants for such a big villa? I've been waiting outside for three hours."
Her tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction and coquettishness. Si Jiliang looked at her hypocritical facade, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a look of disdain flashed across his face.
He retorted coldly, "Do you think your previous trick would have succeeded if you had servants?"
Bai Zhuwei's expression faltered slightly when he mentioned the past, but only for a moment before she regained her composure and replied softly, "Back then, it was due to the circumstances..."
Her words were tactful, clearly indicating that she was keeping something in reserve in case Si Jiliang had recording equipment or something similar, which would expose her disguise.
Si Jiliang listened to her explanation, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he suddenly sneered, his face full of sarcasm, and said coldly, "Is that so? You didn't say this when you wanted to kill me before."
Then his gaze suddenly turned cold, a chilling glint flashing between his brows, and he coldly rebuked, "You're not welcome here, get out!"
Although he disliked Si Yanxiao, he was even more disdainful of Bai Zhuwei, finding her feigned pitiful appearance repulsive.
Bai Zhuwei seemed oblivious to his displeasure, raising an eyebrow slightly and asking softly, "Having waited so long for you, aren't you going to invite me in for a seat?"
Upon hearing this, Si Jiliang slightly turned his head, looked at her coldly, and suddenly sneered. Then, his eyes sharpened, and he retorted, "Invite you? What are you!"
"Furthermore, I haven't forgotten what happened before. Last time you schemed against me and made an offensive move against you. Are you trying to use the same trick again this time?"
"Bai Zhuwei, do you really think I'm brainless, or are you just as stupid as a donkey?!"
As he spoke, his tone became more forceful, his face full of sarcasm. He rested one hand on the window and the other on the steering wheel, then scoffed coldly, "What's the point of living if a decent person has no shame?"
