Everyone in the Si family pricked up their ears.
Except for Si Luochen.
Si Luochen's attention was entirely on Xia Zhi.
The poor little girl was being completely deceived by her bully, and was even blowing on his wounds for him.
He had a wound on his head too!
Si Luochen's hands, hanging by his sides, clenched tightly into fists. Inside his chest, it felt as though a fierce beast was roaring!
The gazes of the rest of the Si family all fell on Wen Yan.
Hurry, spill the juicy gossip!
[Xia Zhi's aunt Xia Qiuzhi and uncle-in-law Jiang Botao were ranked number one in Ye City's first Top Ten Loving Couples selection last year.]
At the mention of this, Old Master Si grew angry.
Not only were Xia Qiuzhi and Jiang Botao voted number one among the Top Ten Loving Couples, but they were also number one among the Top Ten Filial Stars.
Old Madam Xia couldn't have children in her early years, so Xia Zhi's father was the adopted son taken in by her and Old Master Xia.
Less than two years after adopting the son, they gave birth to their daughter, Xia Qiuzhi.
Later, Old Master Xia and Xia Zhi's parents passed away one after another, leaving Old Madam Xia with only Xia Qiuzhi as her sole daughter.
Fortunately, Xia Qiuzhi was capable. Not only did she have strong working abilities and manage the massive Xia Group, but she also had a loving marriage and was filial to her elders.
She had a share in all sorts of commendations in Ye City.
Although Old Master Si was the wealthiest man in Ye City, none of his children had ever been awarded as a loving couple or filial children.
Comparisons were truly odious and infuriating!
[What bullshit loving couple. In private, the husband and wife both play around on their own; they just put on a loving front in public!]
Old Master Si became even angrier.
How on earth did the staff in charge of the selection conduct their investigations?
[The most mind-blowing part is that the little lover both the husband and wife are keeping as a sugar baby is the exact same person.]
[Badass, truly badass.]
What?
The little lover kept by Xia Qiuzhi and Jiang Botao was actually the same person?
Who could be that charming?
Everyone in the Si family stared in utter shock as they saw Wen Yan's gaze sweep over Zhou Xuyan.
Could it be what they were thinking?
Wen Yan sized Zhou Xuyan up.
He looked fair and clean, gentle and refined, with a very scholarly aura.
Being a college student too, a rich woman like Xia Qiuzhi would definitely like him a lot.
What surprised her was that Jiang Botao actually loved him to death as well.
[Ahahaha, Xia Qiuzhi is a ruthless character, but who would have thought Jiang Botao is even more ruthless.]
[Jiang Botao used to be a gigolo. He set his sights on Xia Qiuzhi at a nightclub and deliberately schemed to get close to her.]
[Seeing that Jiang Botao was gentle, considerate, completely obedient, and willing to marry into her family, Xia Qiuzhi thought he would be the easiest to control, so she married him.]
[After marriage, Jiang Botao managed to swindle six villas and ten percent of the company's shares from Xia Qiuzhi. He is currently planning to cash out and elope with his little lover!]
[But little did he know, the new waves of the Yangtze River push the old waves, and the old waves die on the beach. His little lover is not satisfied with the little bit of wealth he acquired at all and wants even more!]
Old Master Si glanced at Zhou Xuyan.
This kid was young, but he hid his true colors very well.
[It's just a pity for Xia Zhi. These wolves and tigers have all set their sights on her, wanting to embezzle all the inheritance her father left for her.]
[Ah! In a few days, at Old Madam Xia's seventieth birthday banquet, which is also Xia Zhi's twentieth birthday, Xia Qiuzhi will publicly announce the news of Xia Zhi and Zhou Xuyan's marriage. Right after the announcement, she will take the two of them to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage certificate!]
[Before Xia Zhi's father died, he left a large fortune to Xia Zhi on the condition that she could inherit it when she turned twenty. If any accident happened to Xia Zhi before she turned twenty, the fortune would be donated to charity.]
[So, that toxic aunt Xia Qiuzhi let Xia Zhi live until now because she was afraid that the fortune would go to charity for nothing!]
[By making Xia Zhi get her marriage certificate with Zhou Xuyan on her twentieth birthday, half of Xia Zhi's fortune will belong to Zhou Xuyan. If Xia Zhi dies later, the entire fortune will belong to Zhou Xuyan.]
[What a vicious plan!]
The Si family members were all extremely indignant.
What kind of aunt was that?
To actually be malicious to such an extent?
Even if Xia Zhi's father was not Old Madam Xia's biological son, the Xia family's ability to develop to where it is today was entirely due to Xia Zhi's father's innovative reforms back in the day!
To harm her own niece to the point of amnesia for the sake of wealth, and even use marriage to ruin her lifelong happiness, this was simply inhuman!
Seeing the Si family looking at him with weird expressions, Zhou Xuyan frowned in displeasure.
Is there something wrong with these people?
Si Luochen was clearly the one who struck first, so why did they look like they wanted to swallow him alive?
Zhou Xuyan stood up and drove the Si family out of the hospital room.
"Zhi Zhi needs to rest quietly. All irrelevant people, get out!"
Zhou Xuyan sat back down by the hospital bed, looking at Xia Zhi with gentle eyes.
"Zhi Zhi, on the day you turn twenty, we can get our marriage certificate and get married." Zhou Xuyan held Xia Zhi's bony hand. "Don't worry, I will love and protect you for the rest of my life."
The moment Zhou Xuyan held her hand, an inexplicable wave of nausea rose in Xia Zhi's heart.
She quickly pulled her hand back.
Faced with Zhou Xuyan's affectionate confession, for some reason, she didn't feel the slightest flutter in her heart.
Instead, it was more of a physiological repulsion and disgust.
She didn't know why she felt this way either.
In her memory, she and Zhou Xuyan used to be very much in love, and her aunt had also told her that Zhou Xuyan was the boy who treated her the best in this world.
Maybe it was because she had received too many injections lately, making her stomach feel uncomfortable!
...
Si Luochen returned to his own hospital room and slammed the door shut with a bang.
The rest of the Si family were all shut outside.
[Tsk, the Little Yandere found out that Xia Zhi is going to marry Zhou Xuyan, and he is panicking, he is panicking, he is panicking!]
[What is the use of being jealous in secret? If he has the guts, he should crash the wedding and snatch the bride.]
[If he does not dare to snatch the bride, Xia Zhi's ending will be quite tragic!]
[In a few days, it will be Old Madam Xia's seventieth birthday banquet. Should I go to the venue to watch the drama unfold?]
Old Master Si's eyes instantly lit up.
He had received an invitation sent by the Xia family a few days ago.
He had to take his eldest granddaughter-in-law along!
"Xiao Yan, come accompany Grandpa to Old Madam Xia's seventieth birthday banquet!"
Before Wen Yan had time to answer, Si Moyan, Si Jingyi, Si Yanli, and Si Youyou all spoke up, stating that they wanted to go together as well.
Old Master Si, "..."
"When it was this old man's seventieth birthday, I didn't see you all being this enthusiastic."
These little brats were simply going to anger him to death!
Wen Yan pointed to Si Luochen in the hospital room. "Grandpa, should we bring the Little Yandere along?"
Old Master Si snorted angrily. "Bring him for what? He likes the girl but doesn't even dare to make a peep, nor does he dare to acknowledge her. He is just a little coward."
Bang!
The sound of a cup being smashed rang out from inside the hospital room.
"My business is none of your concern! Scram, all of you!"
Wen Yan shrugged her shoulders.
[The Little Yandere's temper is really to my taste. One day, when I complete my capture mission, I am also going to say to these cannon fodders of the Si family: Scram, all of you!]
[Hahaha, so badass and cool.]
The Si family, "..."
