Chapter 401 Say it again
Su Yang looked straight into Si Yao's eyes. He saw a hint of tenacity in the weak eyes of this woman.
Si Zhen's body had been kept in the morgue because of the police investigation. It was only recently, when the case was announced to be closed, that Si Ruyun was allowed to claim the body, so the funeral has yet to be held.
Although Si Zhen is just an outsider to the Si family.
But he was Si Ruyun's adopted son after all. He was only a teenager when Si Ruyun brought him to the Si family.
After all, it’s been almost twenty years of relationship.
The process that needs to be followed still needs to be followed.
Si Ruyun had already chosen a cemetery for Si Zhen, as a final farewell to him.
"Okay, I'll go home with you."
A woman's sixth sense is absolutely accurate. From the first assassination attempt on Si Yao, to the death of Si Zhen, and then to Guan Shanshan's escape to Country R, he didn't believe that Si Xuezhong, who was so omnipotent in Jiangcheng, would not know.
The status of Si Ruyun alone is difficult to shake, let alone Si Xuezhong, who is known as the richest man in Jiangcheng.
But from beginning to end, Si Xuezhong never took any action, and even just arranged some bodyguards around Si Yao to symbolically protect her.
Su Yang didn't understand. How could his father be so stupid as to be indifferent to his own daughter's life or death? Not only Si Yao, he also wanted to ask Si Xue Zhong why!
Now that things have come to this, is Si Xuezhong just going to sit back and do nothing?
Who is Guan Shanshan, Guan Xiong, or the lady that Guan Shanshan mentioned? Is it true that even Si Xuezhong was scared?
Si Xuezhong didn't want to talk about it, didn't want to mention it, so he asked and mentioned it...
He went to the Si family, firstly to attend Si Zhen's funeral, and secondly to ask Si Xuezhong whether he still wanted to be his father. If it weren't for him, Si Yao would have been in danger so many times and would have died at Guan Shanshan's hands long ago.
Holding Si Yao in his arms, he felt the warmth, a sense of security that he had never felt after being imprisoned for fifteen years in his previous life.
Even if someone tells him one day that this is just a dream, he still wants to keep dreaming for longer.
It was God's blessing that allowed him to live a second life, so what did he have to fear?
……
2009, April 1.
In the Si family's old house, flames were burning in a large brazier. Pieces of paper money were sprinkled into a bucket, fanning the fire.
Si Ruyun sat aside, crying bitterly. She looked at the black and white photo of Si Zhen not far away. She covered her mouth, trying her best not to cry out loud, but the tears kept flowing down her cheeks.
Si Dongheng sighed: "Third sister, the world is unpredictable. In the end, the young will send off the old, and the old will send off the young. Si Zhen is an orphan. You have taken care of him for so many years. It can be said that you have not wasted thirty years."
"It's a pity that he is young and full of energy and doesn't know how to leave a way out for others. Don't push others into a desperate situation, which will only cause harm to them."
"But the man who killed him was killed on the spot, so there's nothing to worry about."
Si Ruyun clenched his fists and said, "Second brother, it's not your son who died. Why are you making sarcastic remarks here? If it wasn't for my eldest brother, would he have died so miserably?"
"You kept me in the dark. I knew nothing. Si Zhen died just like that. Have you ever thought that he is also a life?"
Si Dongheng no longer had the smile he used to have on his face. Today, he was indeed a little serious.
"Third sister, my brother and I also wanted to solve the problem, but unfortunately, it was Si Zhen who made a fool of himself and went astray."
"To be honest, even if he doesn't die this time, he won't live long..."
“Instead of blaming others, blame yourself.”
"It's very difficult for me and my elder brother. Si Zhen is dead, so he is dead. Let's not mention this matter again..."
Si Ruyun got up from the ground and glared at Si Dongheng.
"What do you mean, you're done using people and just throw them away like garbage?"
"Have you ever considered my feelings?"
"Si Dongheng, don't you want Si Yao to die? Aren't you afraid to do it?"
"You just want Si Zhen to help you do this, and you're afraid of getting yourself covered in blood!"
"If it wasn't you, how could he have come into contact with Guan Shanshan?"
"Si Dongheng, don't pretend to be a good guy here. I know everything. I know everything. Someone told me everything!"
"You are afraid of her, but I am not. At worst, I will die. In order to protect the Si family, you want Si Yao to die, but you dare not do it!"
"You guys are a bunch of men. You're a whore and you still want to be a virtuous woman!"
"Si Dongheng, you are a scumbag!"
Si Dongheng's face was uncertain. He looked at Si Ruyun and said sternly, "I don't know where you heard these rumors from, but remember, don't talk about them in front of Si Yao!"
"Don't let Big Brother know what you're saying!"
"No one wants Si Yao to die. We all want Si Yao to live, but whether she can live or not is not up to me or my eldest brother!"
"Si Ruyun, calm down!"
Si Ruyun's voice became increasingly sharp. She looked at Si Dongheng, raised her head, a little crazy and a little angry.
"Am I calm?"
"My son, whom I raised for more than ten years, died. How can you expect me to be calm?"
"Si Dongheng, tell me, how can you ask me to calm down!"
Si Dongheng frowned and closed his eyes, unable to bear the disturbance.
Not far away, Si Jing, who was drinking tea, laughed and said, "Since the son is dead, why not just raise another one? Why, aunt, is the new one not as useful as the old one?"
"No way, you're not a very loyal person. Isn't it your nature to get tired of the old and love the new?"
"Everyone knows that you were a famous flower in Jiangcheng City back then..."
Si Ruyun turned sideways and looked at Si Jing.
"What did you say?"
"Can you say that again!"
Si Jing put down the teacup: "Aunt, the Si family is at a critical moment of life and death. Now everyone should contribute their efforts, and those who don't contribute should not make trouble, right?"
"You're making such a fuss just for Si Zhen. Do you really want to expose your family's shame?"
"I think that dying like this is a good place for Si Zhen."
"Otherwise, you would be even more unable to accept being stabbed to death by Su Yang with a screwdriver."
After he finished speaking, he also smiled, no longer as gentle and elegant as usual, but rather a little sinister.
Si Ruyun fell into the chair, looking at the black and white portrait of Si Zhen in front of her.
Outside the door, a car slowly stopped. Si Yao, wearing a plain woolen coat and carrying a bag, slowly got out of the car.
She tied her hair up high today, and she looked as capable as ever, but more mature.
Su Yang stopped the car and followed Si Yao towards the Si family's old house.
He looked at the white banner hanging at the door, the mourning hall in the house, and the black-and-white photos hanging in front of the hall, but said nothing.
When Si Ruyun saw Si Yao, there was no kindness in her eyes anymore, and she even felt like rushing up to her and tearing her to pieces.
"What are you here for?"
Si Yao was a little puzzled: "Today is not the day of Si Zhen's funeral, I came to see her off."
Si Ruyun gritted his teeth and shouted angrily: "Get out!"
