Chapter 47: Rejected
Now that the evidence has been collected, why not let the two dogs fight each other?
On the other side, just as Si Zuochen had predicted, Lu Ziyi was extremely anxious after receiving the photos.
He suddenly realized why Jiang Ran had been behaving so strangely lately, and even plotting against him.
The thought of this made him shudder.
If Jiang Ran finds a new love, then all his plans will have been in vain.
Lu Ziyi couldn't help but feel a little anxious. In order to avoid losing his position, he hurriedly went to the villa to find Jiang Ran in order to improve their relationship.
After leaving the tea restaurant, Jiang Ran went straight back to the villa. Thinking of Si Jiliang's mockery of her before he left, Jiang Ran couldn't help but feel annoyed.
Then, sit cross-legged, concentrate your mind and energy, and begin meditation.
With each breath, the body's spiritual energy circulates, flowing through the meridians, and a warm current flows from the dantian to the limbs and bones.
"Knock knock knock—"
Just then, a knock sounded on the door, followed by the butler's voice.
"Madam, Mr. Lu is looking for you."
Upon hearing this name, Jiang Ran felt a strange sense of disgust.
He replied coldly, "I won't see you."
The butler was taken aback upon hearing this, feeling surprised, but replied outwardly, "Okay."
He knew that the two had a special relationship. Usually, when Lu Ziyi came, she would personally go to the door to greet him. He didn't expect that this time she would refuse to let him in.
Then he went outside and relayed Jiang Ran's words to Lu Ziyi.
Upon hearing this, Lu Ziyi looked incredulous: "Ranran isn't seeing me?"
The butler looked displeased upon hearing his form of address, and his voice carried a subtle warning.
"Mr. Lu, Jiang Ran is the wife of the Si family. Please watch your words!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Ziyi's face turned somewhat ugly.
She pursed her lips and said softly, "I'm sorry, I was rash."
The butler frowned at him and said coldly, "Take care, I won't see you off."
He had been in the Si family for twenty years and was adept at dealing with people, but he felt nothing but disgust towards this hypocritical man.
They're clearly after the money, yet they pretend to be all lovey-dovey; it's disgusting.
Without even looking at how unpleasant Lu Ziyi's expression was, she turned around and went back to the villa.
Lu Ziyi stood outside the door, watching it slowly close, his eyes filled with intense hatred, his fists clenched tightly.
He has always valued his reputation above all else and cannot tolerate any setbacks to his self-esteem, yet he is now being treated so coldly!
Then he looked up meaningfully at the second floor, turned around and left to discuss a solution with Song Yuqing.
"What?"
As soon as Lu Ziyi finished speaking, Song Yuqing stood up and looked at him with disgust in her eyes.
"You actually went to see that woman? What is she supposed to think when you go to see her at a time like this? It will only make her think that we can't live without her."
"Didn't we agree to hold back?"
"Did a donkey kick your brain?"
Listening to Song Yuqing's barrage of criticism, a hint of regret flashed across Lu Ziyi's face.
Knowing he was in the wrong, he could only mutter an explanation: "Didn't I just receive that photo suddenly and act in a moment of panic?"
Song Yuqing frowned, reached for his phone, and opened the photo directly.
"This man has an extraordinary presence and could indeed pose a great threat to you, but that's the premise."
Lu Ziyi was taken aback upon hearing this, then asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"
Song Yuqing slammed her phone on the table and sneered, "What if this is a trap she set? Deliberately creating a sense of crisis for you, so you'll willingly walk into her trap."
"She had everything under her control, making our previous actions seem like those of clowns."
As she spoke, a hint of disdain flashed across her face.
Lu Ziyi lowered his eyes to look at the photo, a hint of hesitation appearing in his expression.
Then, feeling a sense of crisis, he quickly asked, "What should we do now?"
Song Yuqing's eyes revealed a gloomy look: "Since it has come to this point, so be it, let's just make the best of a bad situation!"
Fu then looked at Lu Ziyi and explained, "Didn't she think we were begging for mercy? Then let's make it look like we're begging for mercy."
————
The next day, Song Yuqing found out that Jiang Ran would be visiting Si Youlin at the hospital, so she went to the hospital ahead of her, preparing to put on a show of concern and care for the child.
To their surprise, they were turned away and couldn't even get into the ward.
"Ah Chen, please let me go in and visit Ah Lin. I heard he's in the hospital, and I'm really worried about him." As she spoke, a look of deep concern appeared on her face.
Si Zuochen felt nauseous looking at her putting on a show.
He looked up at her, his disgust undisguised, and said coldly, "Watch your words. Even strangers have to address us as Young Master Si. What gives you the right to call me that?"
Song Yuqing changed her expression, then put on a fake smile: "Your mother and I are friends, and she is also your elder, so it's not too much of an overreaction for me to call her that."
Seeing her feigned innocence, Si Zuochen suddenly sneered, and then, seeing someone pass by, deliberately raised his voice and spoke.
"If getting close to someone solely for money counts as friendship, then it's barely acceptable."
People around them turned their heads to look. This was a VIP ward, and the people passing by were all rich and powerful. There were many sycophants in this circle.
They all looked at Song Yuqing with a hint of disdain.
Feeling the scrutiny of those around her, Song Yuqing looked somewhat embarrassed.
Just as he was about to say something, Si Zuochen continued, "And don't even mention that you're my elder. I have very few elders, and you're not one of them!"
The onlookers listened with approval as they looked at Si Zuochen, finding nothing wrong with the sarcasm in his words.
After all, you don't need to give her any face when dealing with this kind of person.
"You...you've misunderstood me, I didn't," Song Yuqing tried to explain.
"Nothing?" Si Zuochen sneered. "No money? If I'm not mistaken, that Cartier bracelet you're wearing is what you wanted, isn't it?"
"Who said they were coming?" Song Yuqing quickly retorted, "She gave it to me on her own initiative."
Si Zuochen nodded thoughtfully: "He gave it to me voluntarily..."
Seeing the triumph in his eyes, Song Yuqing suddenly realized that she had fallen into his trap.
In a flurry of preparation to explain, she heard Si Zuochen say coldly, "Also, you said you were coming to visit my brother, but he's been in the hospital for three days, and you're only just now arriving?"
"Hindsight is 20/20"?
Bystanders watching this scene couldn't help but sneer, "What's wrong with the world these days? Anyone can just climb up to anyone."
Hearing the mockery, Song Yuqing felt utterly humiliated.
Just then, a familiar voice came from behind.
