The Si family hosted a cozy birthday party for Xia Zhi in the afternoon.
No outsiders were invited, only the Si family and Xia Zhi.
Xia Zhi and Si Luochen cut the six-tier cake together.
After finishing the cake, Wen Yan personally applied ointment to the scars on Xia Zhi's hands.
Looking at those scars, Wen Yan felt a slight ache in her chest. "Your sister-in-law's ointment will definitely get rid of these scars for you."
As for the emotional scars, the little yandere would be there to keep her company from now on.
Wen Yan believed that Little Zhizhi would heal.
Xia Zhi had never experienced such kindness and warmth before.
She buried her face in Wen Yan's embrace, crying tears of gratitude.
"Eldest Sister-in-law, thank you all for giving me such warmth."
Si Youyou ran over and hugged both Wen Yan and Xia Zhi.
"Eldest Sister-in-law, Fourth Sister-in-law, hehe, I have two sisters-in-law now."
Hearing Si Youyou address her as Fourth Sister-in-law, Xia Zhi's fair face flushed bright red.
Seeing this, Old Master Si shot a glance at Si Jingyi and Si Yanli.
"Even Fourth Brother has a wife now. You single dogs need to step up your game!"
Hearing Old Master Si's words, Wen Yan could not help but chuckle inwardly.
[Exactly! Not just Fourth Brother, the fifth brother has one too.]
[It's just that the partner he chose...]
[Will probably anger Old Man Si to death!]
Old Master Si's white beard suddenly twitched.
What?
The fifth brother has a partner?
Hasn't he been doing closed-door training at the sports arena recently?
He was going to participate in the city's swimming competition soon.
If he won first place, he would be able to join the provincial team, and then the national team.
Where would he find the time to date?
Furthermore, how could his dating anger him to death?
Just what kind of partner did he find? Eldest granddaughter-in-law, spit it out!
Wen Yan lowered her long eyelashes, focusing on applying the ointment for Xia Zhi.
"Eldest Sister-in-law, Youyou, back at the Civil Affairs Bureau, I wasn't lying. My dad was really killed by Xia Qiuzhi."
Wen Yan and Si Youyou nodded.
"We all believe you!"
Xia Zhi's eyes grew red. "It's my fault for being useless. I can't find any substantial evidence."
"Fourth Sister-in-law, how can you blame yourself? You were only four years old at the time, and you were almost killed by Xia Qiuzhi too."
Si Youyou looked at Wen Yan, stars shining in her eyes.
Eldest Sister-in-law said she would make Xia Qiuzhi face punishment, so she would definitely have a way to bring her to justice.
Si Moyan stood not far away. Watching the harmonious scene of his wife and sisters getting along, a hint of softness unconsciously appeared in his deep, dark eyes.
Ever since his mother got into a car accident and fell into a vegetative state, the family hadn't had this kind of joyful and united atmosphere for a long time.
Although the fifth brother still harbored some resentment toward the family, at least he was willing to move back home.
He and Xia Zhi had redeemed each other, becoming each other's light.
Xia Zhi seemed to like Wen Yan very much. The house was filled with laughter and cheerful chatter, making everyone feel incredibly relaxed and happy.
Ever since the core inside Wen Yan's body was swapped, the Si family seemed to have undergone significant changes.
That woman possessed a magical charm.
Wen Yan sensed a gaze that could not be ignored falling upon her from behind, so she turned her head to look.
She happened to meet Si Moyan's deep, whirlpool-like eyes.
[Oh my, the dog man is staring at me so nakedly, as if he wants to strip all my clothes off.]
Si Moyan's handsome face darkened.
Was he a pervert? Why would he want to strip her clothes off!
Not giving her the chance to spout more nonsense in her mind, Si Moyan called out to her in a low, magnetic voice, "Wen Yan, come here."
Wen Yan walked up to Si Moyan, her face brimming with smiles. "Hubby, did you need me for something?"
"I've spoken to my second brother. You are confirmed for the female lead role in 'Guilty'."
Wen Yan blinked. "Hubby, I'm not interested in acting right now."
[I currently have a sports car, an apartment, five million in cash, and an unlimited black card. I'm not short on money, and I don't want to wake up early and stay up late working my life away as a celebrity.]
[Right now, my main goal is to complete the system's strategy mission. Reaching 100 affection points from the dog man as soon as possible is what truly matters.]
[My, Wen Daji's, journey is the sea of stars. Only by getting a divorce can I achieve the freedom of having male concubines, yay!]
Si Moyan's handsome face turned thoroughly pitch black.
Old Master Si hurriedly created a new WeChat group. Everyone except Wen Yan was in it.
"Eldest, you're too useless. Even now, you still haven't managed to make my eldest granddaughter-in-law fall for you. Even I am starting to despise you."
"Fourth Brother, how did you capture Little Zhizhi's heart? Hurry up and pass your experience on to your older brother."
Si Jingyi: "Grandpa, I have experience in pursuing women."
Old Master Si: "Get lost. You're not even as good as your older brother. You're just an idiot being played for a fool by a transgender person."
Si Jingyi: "..."
Boohoo, a world where only he got hurt was achieved.
Si Yanli: "With Eldest Sister-in-law's personality, you can't blame Eldest Brother for lacking charm. Any man would find it hard to easily win her heart!"
Si Yanli: "Actually, I think if Eldest Sister-in-law really wants a divorce after completing her mission, our Si family should just let her go. Grandpa, you can take her in as your god-granddaughter."
Si Moyan, who rarely spoke in the group chat: "Get lost @Si Yanli"
After sending the message, Si Moyan exited the group chat.
Old Master Si glared at Si Yanli, who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses.
"You really know how to make your older brother angry. Anyone with eyes can see that your older brother cares about your sister-in-law, yet you're telling him to get a divorce. What, do you want to poach her like your second brother?!"
"Also, our whole family is just cannon fodder. If your sister-in-law really divorces and leaves, how are we supposed to survive?!"
"Moreover, I still rely on her for my daily gossip. Right now, if I don't get my daily dose of drama, my whole body feels uncomfortable. Are you trying to force your grandpa to his grave?!"
After Old Master Si finished his rant, he immediately disbanded the group.
These little bastards who couldn't speak properly would sooner or later send him to his grave out of sheer anger!
...
Xia Qiuzhi had been extremely overwhelmed lately.
Zhou Xuyan had been beaten until his face was disfigured and his legs were crippled.
She no longer had her little toy boy by her side, and her career had also taken a hit.
The scandal of the birthday banquet video caused several clients to terminate their partnerships with her, and her company's stock price kept plummeting.
She was under so much stress that she even got blisters in her mouth.
Fortunately, Old Madam Xia had quite a few connections and helped her stabilize the situation.
That night, after Xia Qiuzhi finished her social engagements, the driver brought her back to the Xia family villa.
The Xia family villa was completely quiet; Old Madam Xia had long since gone to bed.
Xia Qiuzhi had drunk quite a bit of alcohol. She rubbed her forehead as she walked inside.
She sat on the sofa, her head feeling dizzy. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, she was awakened by a clap of thunder.
She opened her eyes and glanced out the window.
With that single glance, she froze completely.
Outside the window, a dark shadow flashed by.
The slight drunkenness in Xia Qiuzhi's mind was instantly shocked away.
She held her breath, walked to the window, and looked out.
There was nothing there.
She closed the curtains and turned around.
"Ah!"
She let out a terrified scream!
She... she actually saw—
