Chapter 202 Colluding with each other
However, the result was not as expected.
After the two finally reached a preliminary agreement and the meeting ended, Bai Zhuwei slowly stood up, smiling, and said softly, "I will relay what you said to my superiors when I get back, and I will definitely give you a reply within three days."
"We can draft a preliminary contract first, just in case anything changes."
"Okay." Si Jiliang nodded and slowly replied, then called in a clerk to draft the contract on the spot.
As Bai Zhuwei stood up, she glanced at Si Yanxiao seemingly unintentionally before turning and leaving.
When Si Yanxiao saw her leave, his expression hardened, but he did not rush to follow her out in front of Si Jiliang.
After giving a few brief instructions, he left the conference room and hurried towards the private elevator.
Upon arriving at the underground parking garage, Si Yanxiao glanced around and saw Bai Zhuwei opening the car door to leave. Seeing this, he quickly hurried over.
He slammed the car door shut and asked coldly, "You're leaving?!"
Bai Zhuwei looked surprised, clearly not expecting him to appear suddenly. Her eyes flashed, and she lost all her composure from before, and you could even sense a little awkwardness in her expression.
Si Yanxiao keenly sensed her change and suddenly realized that his tone had been a bit too harsh. His expression softened slightly, and he reached out to hold Bai Zhuwei's shoulder tightly, asking in a deep voice.
"You clearly remember me, so why are you pretending to be a stranger?"
"Zhuwei, where have you been all this time? Do you know how worried I've been about you?"
As Bai Zhuwei listened, tears welled up in her eyes, and a hint of emotion flashed across her face.
Jiang Ran had just parked her car in the underground parking garage when she saw this scene: Si Yanxiao and a strange woman were facing each other, and their behavior was somewhat intimate.
Startled, he looked closely and suddenly realized that the woman looked very familiar, and a figure flashed through his mind.
A look of surprise flashed in Jiang Ran's eyes.
Bai Zhuwei?!
How did she end up here?
Jiang Ran's eyes darkened, and a bad premonition flashed through her mind.
The clues had gradually led to her, but her sudden appearance and entanglement with Si Yanxiao have disrupted their plans.
Thinking of this, his brow furrowed suddenly, and the medicine he was carrying suddenly felt incredibly heavy.
I never expected to encounter such a scene when I was delivering medicine.
She then slowly walked a short distance away, and the conversation between the two reached her ears clearly.
"Ayan..." Bai Zhuwei's voice was tinged with a hint of sobbing, and her eyes gradually filled with tears as she looked at Si Yanxiao.
Si Yanxiao's heart softened immediately. He reached out and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, softly comforting her, "It's okay, it's okay, don't cry..."
Bai Zhuwei seemed to have found an outlet, and suddenly threw herself into Si Yanxiao's arms. Jiang Ran looked down at her, a hint of mockery flashing across her face.
Pretentious!
Si Yanxiao felt her softness and paused, momentarily at a loss. He could only gently pat her back to comfort her.
"How did you end up here?" Si Yanxiao asked slowly, unable to hide his doubts.
Bai Zhuwei's eyes flashed, and she took a few steps back. Her previous vulnerability had disappeared, and she had clearly calmed down.
Then a hint of unease flashed across his face, and he slowly sighed, "It's a long story..."
Si Yanxiao looked at her seriously, his eyes full of doubt. He saw a hint of guilt flash in her eyes as she slowly and softly said, "I'm sorry... I dragged you into this." "What do you mean?" Si Yanxiao frowned slightly, a look of surprise flashing across his face.
He immediately followed up with, "Could it be that the car accident back then wasn't an accident?!"
Bai Zhuwei listened and slowly shook her head, offering no further explanation. She simply said, "Don't ask anymore. The past is the past. I have my reasons for not wanting to acknowledge you. I don't want you to get hurt because of me again."
Upon hearing this, Si Yan's eyes sharpened, and his mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts.
Mr. Si never believed that the car accident was an accident, so he has been making inquiries over the years in order to find out the suspicious aspects of it.
However, no clues have been found for a long time, and no matter how unwilling they are to admit it, they can only temporarily assume it was an accident.
Even when he had already accepted this reality, he never expected to hear such words from Bai Zhuwei.
Although she was unwilling to say more, it was clear that there was more to the story.
What is the truth? Si Yanxiao's expression darkened, and a wave of doubts surged in his heart.
Jiang Ran listened from the side, clearly not expecting to hear the inside story of what happened back then.
But for her, there was a reason behind it, which was no secret.
After all, when Si Yanxiao was still unconscious, she probed into his consciousness and sensed that the car accident scene was filled with black mist, which proved that the matter was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
Jiang Ran lowered her gaze, and when she looked up at them again, her heart trembled, feeling that they were particularly glaring.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ran was suddenly startled, thinking it was just prejudice against Bai Zhuwei, but she didn't realize that her feelings had been subtly changing at some point.
Seeing that the two were about to continue pouring out their hearts to each other, Jiang Ran's eyes flashed. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she saw Si Jiliang's figure appear not far away.
Then he paused slightly and stopped in his tracks.
She happened to be hiding in the shadows, and Si Jiliang went straight to Bai Zhuwei without noticing her.
Not long after Bai Zhuwei left, he carefully reviewed the preliminary draft of the contract and suddenly discovered a loophole in it, so he rushed downstairs to discuss it with her.
Unexpectedly, Si Yanxiao was also present and witnessed this scene!
Bai Zhuwei's hand was on Si Yanxiao's wrist, and the two were behaving intimately, which seemed ambiguous.
Upon seeing this, Si Jiliang's expression changed drastically, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. He spoke in a cold voice, "What are you doing?!"
Bai Zhuwei hurriedly lowered her hand, a hint of unease flashing across her face, her eyes still showing some panic and anxiety.
Si Yanxiao suddenly stopped, noticing Bai Zhuwei's aggrieved expression, and the awkwardness he had just shown vanished instantly.
Turning to look at Si Jiliang, she asked in a cold voice, "What are you doing here?"
Si Jiliang's expression turned slightly cold, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. He scoffed, "If I weren't here, how could I have witnessed such a spectacular scene?"
"Si Yanxiao, how can you do this to Jiang Ran, who has devoted herself to taking care of the family?"
Upon hearing this, a sinister glint flashed across Si Yanxiao's face, and he coldly replied, "What's it to you? Mind your own business!"
Upon hearing Si Yanxiao's rebuke, a cold glint flashed across Si Jiliang's face.
Thinking of Jiang Ran, she instantly felt indignant on her behalf and continued, "Mind your own business? Don't forget who cured the old man's illness? And who took care of you when you were in the hospital?"
When Si Yanxiao heard Si Jiliang stand up for Jiang Ran, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes. He had already suspected that the relationship between Si Jiliang and Jiang Ran was ambiguous, and now that he heard him say this, he felt that it was even more of a transgression.
His gaze turned cold, and he said in a chilling voice, "What? Do I need you to remind me?"
Si Yanxiao's words carried a hint of threat, and Si Jiliang frowned, but she was not prepared to have any more pointless arguments with him.
Then he turned to look at Bai Zhuwei and sneered, "No wonder the atmosphere was different just now. It turns out you had planned this all along."
"Miss Bai, you really have no moral bottom line at all, trying to lay your hands on a married man?"
Si Jiliang had never met Bai Zhuwei, so he naturally didn't know that there was another layer of relationship between her and Si Yanxiao.
When he arrived, Si Yanxiao was already unconscious. He only vaguely knew that he had eloped with someone, but he didn't ask who that person was.
After all, he never cared about things that were none of his business, and besides, this matter was well covered up by Old Master Si, and not a single word of it was leaked.
Si Jiliang's words were full of sarcasm, and Bai Zhuwei quickly spoke up to explain, "You misunderstood, that's not what I meant..."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Si Yanxiao said coldly from the side, "You don't need to talk to these irrelevant people."
As Si Jiliang listened to Si Yanxiao's assessment of himself, his lips tightened into a straight line, and he felt even more sorry for Jiang Ran.
His gaze then shot directly at Bai Zhuwei, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes, and he suddenly scoffed, "In cahoots?"
As he spoke, his face was full of disdain.
Bai Zhuwei's expression changed slightly as she listened to the mockery in his words.
