Si Yuhuan, who descended from the Bentley, still had white adhesive tape on the back of his hand from where he’d forcefully removed an IV needle. It completely clashed with his domineering aura and looked sowhat ludicrous.
His white shirt was casually unbuttoned by two buttons at the top, sleeves rolled up to reveal muscular forearms, but the nurous bloodstains covering them were sowhat horrifying.
Long legs clad in suit pants strode quickly toward Jian Xi.
He had just placed his hand on Jian Xi’s when she contemptuously shook it off.
"Please have so self-respect in public, Director Si," she chastised.
If it weren’t for the fear of another car accident, Jian Xi really would have sped off to get away from this annoying pest.
Si Yuhuan sighed helplessly. "I’ll take you ho."
He didn’t trust her driving. After all, she had just been through a car accident—a brush with death. If sothing happened, Grandpa would definitely bla him.
"No need! I have hands and feet. I don’t need your ride. Director Si, you’d better go find your ’white moonlight’ and properly cheat on , your legitimate wife."
Jian Xi wasn’t even sure what she was angry about. Even though she had supposedly hardened her heart against Si Yuhuan, seeing Jiang Qing cling to him still irked her.
She dubbed this feeling ’not being able to stand seeing a bitch and a dog happy together.’
Having invested so much already to no avail—not even managing to create a rift between them, with Si Yuhuan still protecting Jiang Qing so unequivocally—Jian Xi felt a bit disheartened. She was starting to consider skipping the seduction attempt and just directly overpowering him with her capabilities. It was just that the timing wasn’t right yet, and she was conflicted.
"I nearly died because of you. Can’t you feel even a little bit guilty? Jiang Qing heard about my allergic reaction and ca to see how I was doing!" Si Yuhuan blurted out an explanation without thinking.
Jian Xi, already furious, grew even angrier. "Why should I feel guilty? You chose to stay at the Jian Family Old House; I didn’t invite you! Besides, how long did I even have the allergy before she heard about it? You’re quick to find soone to console you."
Si Yuhuan was speechless.
A woman being unreasonable was truly a headache.
He forcefully maneuvered Jian Xi into his car, buckled her into the passenger seat, and drove toward the Jian Family Old House.
Jian Xi struggled. "If you keep moving around like that, we’ll crash! Do you want to die?"
Die! Having already died once and barely managed to get her current life, Jian Xi cherished this second chance more than anything. Naturally, she wouldn’t choose death. She imdiately beca cooperative.
Si Yuhuan assud she was scared, thinking her courage amounted to so little.
The drive was quiet. He kept scratching his arms and other itchy spots, quickly adding more bloody marks, making him look even more terrifying.
Jian Xi glanced at him. Serves him right! Let him itch to death, let him suffer in pain—he deserves it all!
Si Yuhuan had rushed out before his IV drip was finished. Now, with the allergic reaction not subsiding, he couldn’t help but feel irritable. "If you dare use kittens or puppies to trigger my allergies again, I will definitely..."
"Definitely what? Kill ? Murder ?" That was what he always used to say.
She was long immune to it. It didn’t hurt her heart.
"If you dare, you’d be breaking the law, and I’ll sue you for everything you’re worth."
She was the best lawyer, after all.
Unexpectedly, Si Yuhuan said, "I’ll pin you down on the bed, strip you bare, and spank you."
Jian Xi was stunned. "How can you be so despicable, shaless, and vile!" Her face instantly flushed crimson.
In this kind of confrontation, she rarely gained the upper hand.
Seeing her bashful look, Si Yuhuan’s lips curved into a cold smirk. The irritation he’d been feeling surprisingly began to fade.
They soon arrived at the Jian Family Old House.
Si Yuhuan still needed to return to the hospital, so he didn’t get out of the car.
"I’ll let this go for now. But when I get ho, I don’t want to see any cats or dogs. Otherwise, don’t bla for what I do to you," he threatened.
Hmph. Jian Xi thought, already planning her secret maneuvers.
"Also, don’t go looking for trouble with Jiang Qing. I’ve investigated the whole matter; it has nothing to do with her. It was her assistant, who likes Si Junyan, who retaliated against you. I won’t let that Xiaozhang off the hook. Consider that my way of settling things for you," he said.
Hearing this, Jian Xi’s chest suddenly tightened. "So, you risked your own well-being rushing back here, all for Jiang Qing!"
She sneered, her lips curling as disappointnt filled her eyes. "I won’t let her off," she said slowly.
Watching Jian Xi slam the car door and leave, Si Yuhuan suddenly felt as if this woman was truly about to disappear from his world.
HISS!
So painful, so itchy.
Si Yuhuan couldn’t be bothered with anything else and drove straight to the hospital.
As Jian Xi entered, the butler imdiately ca forward. "Young Master-in-law is alright, I hope? Madam called just now; she already knows..."
If Mom knows, Dad probably knows too. Jian Xi instantly felt a headache brewing. She couldn’t even play ostrich now.
Soon, her phone rang. Jian Xi braced herself for a tirade.
Unexpectedly, Jian’s Mother cut straight to the point: "Si Yuhuan is not allowed to stay at the Old House. How can a scumbag like him live with my daughter!"
What a wonderfully supportive Mom! Jian Xi was deeply moved.
Jian’s Mother continued, "However, we can’t have him running into trouble at our house, or we’ll inevitably face a lawsuit. You two, hurry up and get divorced."
"Okay, Mom. I’ll divorce him soon."
Si Yuhuan’s actions today had thoroughly wounded her. Jian Xi no longer held any hope of seducing him or provoking Jiang Qing to see her fly into a rage. From now on, strength would decide everything.
Once she gained absolute control over manufacturing and production, she would use the Silicon Crystal in her possession to have a complete and utter showdown with Si Yuhuan.
Jian Xi firmly believed she could bring down Haohan Group and beco the new wealthiest person in China.
"Darling, your father and I will always support you. By the way, I’ve mailed you so local specialties from Q Country. Rember to look out for the delivery," Jian’s Mother said.
"Okay, Mom!" Jian Xi’s gloomy mood vanished instantly.
There was no need to let a scumbag and a contemptible woman ruin her mood. She had to maintain good physical and ntal well-being to pursue her own bright future and not be ensnared by love again.
After freshening up, Jian Xi lay comfortably in bed when she suddenly heard faint rustling sounds from downstairs.
It turned out Si Yuhuan had returned after his IV drip, but the butler was preventing him from entering.
"Apologies, Young Master-in-law. The Young Miss is already asleep. It’s not convenient for you to go up now. Madam has instructed that you may only stay at the Jian residence for tonight. You must leave tomorrow," the butler stated.
Those were her mother’s orders. This left Si Yuhuan fuming with nowhere to vent his anger.
The pride of a top magnate wouldn’t allow him to stay in a servant’s room on the first floor. Si Yuhuan turned and left.
「Yan Qing’s eyes widened.」
He was about to leave when he unexpectedly saw Si Yuhuan erge from the Jian Family Old House, looking utterly dejected.
"Director Si, you’re...?"
Si Yuhuan, his face grim, glanced up at the third-floor window, his eyes eting Jian Xi’s, who was clearly enjoying the spectacle.
"You just wait," Si Yuhuan mouthed fiercely.
Jian Xi, arms crossed, looked smug and delightfully infuriating. "Good riddance. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out."
