Chapter 393 Past Events
Seeing that Si Jiliang's expression remained unchanged, Ji Yun raised an eyebrow and suddenly scoffed, "I'm curious whether that woman, when driven to a dead end, will drag Jiang Ran down with her..."
Her eyes were filled with coldness as she spoke, her face showing disdain, and she looked down at him with a half-smile.
Seeing her watching the show from the sidelines, Si Jiliang's gaze turned slightly cold. He raised his eyes to meet her gaze seriously, and slowly said, "Then I'll make sure she dies without a burial place!"
Every word he spoke was deliberate and succinct, striking a chord with Ji Yun and subtly revealing his own stance.
Having said that, he didn't bother to look at Ji Yun's expression, turned around and left, coming face to face with the man guarding the door.
"Young Master..." the man called softly, but Si Jiliang didn't stop walking and didn't even spare him a glance before stepping outside.
The man turned and pushed the door open, only to see Ji Yun's lips slightly pursed, her expression somewhat unpleasant. He instantly understood that the two of them had once again fallen out over a disagreement, just like before.
Her eyes flickered slightly, and she let out a soft, helpless sigh. After hesitating for a moment, she reassured him, "Don't worry, the young master is very sensible and won't ruin your plans."
“That’s not what I’m worried about.” Ji Yun walked to the window, watching Si Jiliang’s departing figure, a hint of something unspeakable flashing across her face, completely different from her previous confrontational demeanor.
A complex emotion flickered in his eyes, and he spoke again in a deep voice, "I'm just worried that he'll get more and more entangled here..."
Upon hearing this, the man lowered his gaze slightly, fully aware of her concerns.
Having served Ji Yun for so many years and done things for her, he had long seen through the way she and Si Jiliang interacted.
Aside from her dual personality, at her core, she was just a mother who doted on her child and paved the way for his bright future.
But once you've chosen this path, how easy is it to live a stable and peaceful life?
The way the two of them interact is already the limit. They just keep to themselves and don't interfere with each other on ordinary days. But when it comes to their safety, they become each other's last comfort.
This is why she repeatedly tested Si Jiliang's bottom line and protected him at crucial moments.
Thinking of this, the man pursed his lips slightly, about to speak to persuade her, but Ji Yun waved her hand slightly, her tone slightly weary, and said in a deep voice, "Go and deal with it first, and report back immediately if anything happens."
"Yes." The man nodded slightly, responded in a low voice, and turned to leave.
Ji Yun was left alone in the room until Si Jiliang's car disappeared from sight. Her eyes narrowed and a chill rose between her brows.
My mind was filled with a jumble of thoughts, and images from the past flashed through my mind.
It turned out that due to some unexpected events back then, Old Master Si was in a hurry to return to the Si family and promised to pick them up on the agreed date, but he was late. People in the whole alley pointed and whispered about her. How ironic it was to be pregnant out of wedlock in that era...
She firmly believed that Si Chengting would come back to find her, but she never expected that instead of him, she would be met with assassins who came to silence her.
It was a dark and stormy night. Si Jiliang had just turned three when she suddenly developed a high fever that wouldn't go down. There was thunder and lightning outside, and the nearest clinic was quite a distance away.
Left with no other choice, she could only ask her neighbors for help, but ever since she became pregnant, they seemed to have conspired to avoid her. Late at night, she knocked on every door and begged them, but she never received a response.
Some people even cursed him, saying he deserved it, and he suddenly became extremely dejected.
Left with no other choice, she braved the heavy rain and carried her child alone towards the hospital, but little did she know that an unexpected accident would occur...
She was met by several men wielding sticks who surrounded her. They claimed they were ordered by the Lin family to silence her.
She had heard of the so-called Lin family before; Lin Shuyin was Si Yanxiao's mother. She had narrowly escaped death that day, and when she woke up, she found she had been rescued. After some inquiries, she learned that Si Yanxiao's maternal family had heard about their affair and were indignant, not allowing anything that could threaten Si Yanxiao.
Ji Yun never imagined that all the scorn she had endured over the years would end up like this.
Even the Lin family managed to find him, but Si Chengting remained unmoved...
From then on, she and the entire Si family hated her to the core. She had fallen to that state entirely because of them!
Driven by her hatred for them and with the secret help of one of them, she gradually rose to her current position.
As her thoughts returned, Ji Yun clenched her fists, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes.
Then, a slight smirk appeared on his lips, and he suddenly scoffed, "Si Yanxiao? We'll see..."
His tone was cold and detached, almost like he was muttering to himself.
After leaving, Si Jiliang drove at high speed on the highway, his face full of coldness.
He had always known about what his mother was doing in secret, including the fact that she was involved in the successive murders of members of the Si family.
I never expected things to have progressed to this point. Si Zuochen has been held hostage by Bai Zhuwei's men for a long time with no conclusion yet, and his fate is unknown.
Whether Bai Zhuwei would choose to spare his life out of kindness or let him die there was anyone's guess.
In the past, upon learning this news, he would have immediately and forcefully demanded the person's return. But now, he is caught in a dilemma.
If Si Zuochen and Si Youlin were to meet, the dragon and tiger energy emanating from their bodies would actually give Jiang Ran a boost, a situation that he absolutely did not want to see.
In his previous life, he had already missed her due to various factors. Public opinion and moral condemnation prevented master and disciple from being together. There were so many obstacles on the road ahead, but he couldn't overcome them...
Having finally been given a second chance, how could he allow things to slip out of his control again?
Thinking of this, Si Jiliang's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he said coldly, "This time I will absolutely not let you leave my side again!"
Having said that, a sinister look appeared between his brows, and he had already made up his mind.
The situation here is unclear, and the situation on Bai Zhuwei's side is also extremely unclear.
Taking advantage of Si Yanxiao's absence from the company, Bai Zhuwei invited Lu Ziyi to a teahouse. When she arrived, Lu Ziyi had already been waiting in the private room for a long time.
The two sat facing each other. Lu Ziyi keenly noticed her displeasure, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. He then asked in surprise, "Shouldn't you be having a lot of romantic luck lately? Why do you look so preoccupied?"
Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Bai Zhuwei's eyes, and she scoffed, "Where did this woman with a knack for attracting romance come from? My situation is quite troublesome as well!"
"Hmm?" Lu Ziyi noticed the resentment in her voice and looked puzzled. He asked, "What's going on? What happened again?"
It's no wonder he was puzzled. Even the media had reported on Si Yanxiao and her affair. Knowing the inside story, he could guess the methods she had used to control Si Yanxiao, but now she was acting like this...
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhuwei's gaze darkened, and she said in a cold voice, "This is precisely why I was so eager to call you out this time."
Then, her gaze sharpened slightly, and she began to recount some recent developments. It turned out that she had noticed something unusual during her close interactions with Si Yanxiao.
"Although he spends most of his time by my side and personally handles all the engagement-related matters, just last night, news suddenly came that he and Jiang Ran were meeting privately!"
As he spoke, his anger was barely concealed.
Upon hearing this, Lu Ziyi instantly understood the seriousness of the matter. In Bai Zhuwei's eyes, the most taboo person was Jiang Ran, a thorn in her side. However, Si Yanxiao, who should have distanced himself from Jiang Ran, was now entangled with her, which was quite intriguing.
Thinking of this, Lu Ziyi raised an eyebrow and tentatively asked, "So you're worried that he still has feelings for Jiang Ran?"
“That possibility cannot be ruled out,” Bai Zhuwei blurted out.
His face looked unpleasant, and his brows were full of impatience.
What she didn't say was that, compared to lingering feelings, she was more worried that everything before her was just a facade put on by Si Yanxiao, a pretense to uncover other information from here.
Thinking of this, Bai Zhuwei felt a chill run down her spine. If that were the case, then Si Yanxiao's meticulous planning and cunning were truly astonishing.
