Chapter 203: Choose One of the Two
Before she could even open her mouth to argue, Si Yanxiao spoke first, shouting sternly, "Si Jiliang!"
As he spoke, a sinister glint flashed between his brows, and he parted his thin lips slightly, saying in a cold voice, "I advise you not to meddle in other people's business!"
There was a hint of threat in his words, but Si Jiliang seemed not to hear it. He glanced at them and a look of disdain flashed across his face.
He then scoffed, "What a double standard! You weren't like this when you misunderstood my relationship with Jiang Ran." Hearing this, Si Yanxiao's expression hardened, a mocking smile playing on his lips as he coldly said, "If things are truly innocent between you two, what misunderstandings are you afraid of?"
With a single sentence, the blame was instantly shifted back to him. Si Jiliang frowned, his eyes filled with disdain: "Whether you are innocent or not, isn't that just your one-sided statement?"
As he spoke, he paused slightly, glanced coldly at Bai Zhuwei, his eyes full of disdain, and then sneered again.
"As for her, ha... knowingly becoming a mistress and deliberately destroying other people's families, what kind of good person could she be?"
His tone was flippant, and his words were full of disdain for Bai Zhuwei.
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhuwei's expression instantly turned ugly. Her lips twitched slightly as she tried to refute him, her expression full of grievance.
Seeing her being bullied, Si Yanxiao's expression suddenly hardened, and a chilling glint appeared in his eyes, like an ice blade tempered with frost. He looked coldly at Si Jiliang and said, "Shut up!"
His tone was chilling, and his displeasure was obvious. He continued, "Don't forget who you are!" Si Yanxiao reminded him coldly, his face full of icy intent.
Hearing his veiled warning, Si Jiliang frowned suddenly, and his eyes turned colder as he looked at Si Yanxiao.
What he hates most is talking about his identity, but Si Yanxiao has brought it up several times. Does he really think he will avoid it?
His gaze sharpened instantly, and he coldly swept his eyes over Bai Zhuwei. He didn't refute her, but instead scoffed, "What do you think Ah Chen and Ah Lin would think if they knew about this?"
Upon hearing this, Si Yanxiao's expression suddenly turned cold, his gaze sharp as he glared at him, taking a few steps closer: "I'm warning you, don't meddle in other people's business!"
A look of disdain flashed across Si Jiliang's face, and he sneered, "What? Trying to threaten me?"
Bai Zhuwei watched the two arguing, and her gaze swept around, noticing a car driving towards them from a distance.
A sudden inspiration struck her, and she instantly came up with an idea. Adopting a very aggrieved expression, she walked over to the two of them and said, "Please stop arguing. I'm sorry, this is all because of me..."
Hearing her apology, Si Yanxiao felt a pang of heartache. He reached out and gently patted her shoulder, comforting her, "Don't overthink it. What does this have to do with you?"
Having said that, he raised his eyes and looked at Si Jiliang with a cold and sharp gaze.
Si Jiliang's lips curled slightly, a hint of disdain flashing across his face: "Ha... mutual affection? I'd like to see how the old man will interpret this!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to leave.
Upon hearing this, a hint of displeasure flashed in Si Yanxiao's eyes. The old man had a deep prejudice against Bai Zhuwei, and if he knew that she was now by his side, this matter would probably become extremely troublesome.
Thinking of this, he was about to coldly stop him when Bai Zhuwei stepped forward and hurriedly walked behind Si Jiliang, grabbing his sleeve to try to stop him.
"etc!"
Si Jiliang felt her touch, his eyes narrowed, and he immediately pulled his arm away, shouting sharply, "Don't touch me! Disgusting!"
Bai Zhuwei staggered a few steps and fell towards the middle of the road. From Si Yanxiao's perspective, it was obvious that Si Jiliang's flick of his sleeve was too large, causing her to be thrown out.
Just then, the car in the distance was speeding towards them. Seeing that he couldn't stop, Si Yanxiao was shocked and tried to reach out to grab it, but it was too late.
Jiang Ran had been observing their argument with a cold eye. Upon seeing this, her eyes narrowed, and in a critical moment, she hurriedly stepped forward and forcefully pushed Bai Zhuwei away.
With a loud thud, the two fell to the ground together. Bai Zhuwei suffered minor abrasions but was otherwise unharmed.
Everyone was startled by the sudden scene, but quickly recovered. Si Yanxiao rushed forward to help Bai Zhuwei up, his face full of worry.
"How are you? Are you hurt anywhere?"
Bai Zhuwei's face was pale, and she looked like she was still in shock. Si Yanxiao looked at the scene in front of him and felt a strange fear rising in his heart.
His face turned deathly pale, his pupils contracted slightly, and the events of six years ago seemed to flash before his eyes.
Immediately, an image of Bai Zhuwei lying beside him, covered in blood, flashed into his mind. It felt as if his heart was being tightly gripped in someone's hand, and a suffocating sensation surged through him, causing him to catch his breath and his eyes to turn bloodshot.
He didn't care that Jiang Ran was also slumped on the ground. He glanced at her and saw that she had no injuries, so he didn't pay any attention to her.
He hurriedly picked up Bai Zhuwei and left, speeding away in his car.
Si Jiliang watched them leave with a cold eye, then quickly went to Jiang Ran's side, his eyes filled with worry. Seeing her pale face as she collapsed to the ground, he quickly reached out to help her up and asked in a low voice, "Are you alright? Are you okay?"
He knew Jiang Ran didn't want to have too much contact with him. He felt a sharp pain in his heart when he saw her fall, and he forced himself to stay away. He waited patiently for Si Yanxiao to leave before rushing forward.
Jiang Ran slowly shook her head, a slight smile playing on her lips, revealing a bitter expression: "It's nothing."
After saying that, she reached out and gently helped Si Jiliang's hand away. Si Jiliang paused slightly, knowing that she was proud by nature, and reluctantly withdrew her hand without helping her again.
Jiang Ran clutched her ankle with one hand and used the other to push herself up with difficulty.
Upon seeing this, Si Jiliang quickly asked, "Did you twist your ankle?"
Feeling a sharp pain in her ankle, Jiang Ran frowned slightly and responded softly, "Mmm."
Si Jiliang's expression changed, and he was about to say something when he heard Jiang Ran give a self-deprecating laugh, a bitter look flashing in her eyes.
He chuckled to himself, "Looking at it this way, I really am a joke..."
Si Jiliang sensed the bitterness in her words, and a pang of heartache flashed through his heart. He then knelt down in front of her and said in a deep voice, "Get on."
Jiang Ran saw through his intention, patted his shoulder lightly, and replied in a low voice, "No need."
Upon hearing this, Si Jiliang frowned, stood up, and looked at her, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes: "At a time like this, you still care about these other formalities?"
"Si Yanxiao can be so ruthless, so it's perfectly normal for me to carry you on my back now that you're injured."
Si Jiliang poured out his dissatisfaction in a deep voice, his words filled with indignation on her behalf.
Jiang Ran knew he was genuinely looking out for her, and her expression softened slightly, but she still shook her head.
On the other side, after Si Yanxiao took Bai Zhuwei to the hospital, the examination revealed that she only had minor abrasions, which put Si Yanxiao at ease.
Remembering that Jiang Ran had also fallen to the ground, and that he had been in such a hurry that he had overlooked her, a pang of guilt flashed through his heart.
His gaze sharpened, then he looked at Bai Zhuwei and said softly, "I have some things to take care of. Would you like to stay at the hospital for now?"
With her keen intuition, Bai Zhuwei instantly understood his meaning.
A hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but he said nothing, only responding in a low voice with feigned magnanimity: "Alright, go ahead."
Si Yanxiao nodded slightly and turned to leave when he suddenly heard a cry of pain behind him. Startled, he hurriedly turned around to look.
Bai Zhuwei was seen clutching her chest, her face full of discomfort.
Seeing this, Si Yanxiao quickly walked to her side, his face full of worry: "What's wrong?"
Bai Zhuwei waved her hand, bit her lip lightly, and slowly shook her head, her face showing restraint: "I'm fine, you should go and attend to your business."
Si Yanxiao frowned slightly as he listened, but he was still worried about leaving her. She was so understanding and didn't say much even when she was in pain, so he was even more worried about leaving her here alone.
She hurriedly called the doctor over for a full physical examination, but everything was normal except for the abrasions. However, Bai Zhuwei insisted that she felt discomfort in her chest, so the doctor could only conclude that it was probably due to overwork recently, coupled with the increased sinus rhythm caused by the recent fright.
After the inspection was completed, several hours had passed, and Si Yanxiao had long since given up the idea of going back.
Seeing Bai Zhuwei's weak appearance, they did not suspect her discomfort.
He sat down on the chair next to the bed and, seeing that her expression had eased slightly, asked her a question.
