Chapter 1379: A Side Story About Si Yiyan (7)
After Yueze left, Si Yiyan leaned back against his seat and thought to himself that his insomnia must have acted up again. In fact, it was much more severe this time. Reason being, the sultry and hoarse voice that he had dreamed of constantly rang in his ears and tempted him, making him feel hopeless and unable to save himself.
That was the reason for his insomnia.
“Go in…” At this moment, the door of the control room swung open and a disheveled-looking man was pushed inside.
The man was dressed in a waiter’s uniform and appeared rather untidy and unkempt. He fell onto the ground forcefully and grunted in pain.
Si Yiyan stood up all of a sudden and walked towards the man. Staring at him condescendingly, Si Yiyan exclaimed coldly, “Second Young Master of the Xu family!”
He did not expect that Xu Zhenyu would show up here. Staring at the waiter’s uniform that he was wearing, Si Yiyan reckoned that he must have sneaked in.
His eyes were filled with resentment and he was glowering at Si Yiyan angrily.
At this moment, the big and burly Xu Xianghu entered the house before kicking Xu Zhenyu.
“Boss, this kid isn’t one of our men. I don’t know how he sneaked in, either. Had I not discovered him sneaking into the balcony and nabbed him, I wouldn’t have found the weapons that he was hiding. He might have just foiled our plans.”
He threw a sharp dagger towards Si Yiyan’s feet.
“Return the dagger to me,” Xu Zhenyu said agitatedly while struggling, in a bid to pick the dagger up.
Si Yiyan stepped on the dagger and questioned sternly, “What are you trying to do? Stab Xia Ruya? Or Xiao Jingnan?”
Xu Zhenyu was the most upset about Wen Xinya’s death, it was no wonder that he would act that way out of recklessness.
After having had his intentions exposed, Xu Zhenyu clenched his fists tightly with resentment written all over his face. “Who are you and what are you trying to do?”
Xu Zhenyu was no fool. Ever since he got arrested, he knew that there was something unusual about New Century Manor. At that moment, he knew that something was about to happen.
Si Yiyan was someone whom Xia Ruya and Xiao Jingnan definitely couldn’t control.
Si Yiyan ignored him. “It’s the day of Xia Ruya’s and Xiao Jingnan’s wedding. Do you know how tight the security in New Century Manor is? There are tens of thousands of bodyguards and security officers. You may stab them once, but you’ll never get to stab them again. Besides, one stab might not be fatal.”
He sounded cold and aloof as if he was just stating a fact.
Xu Zhenyu was completely astonished. Clearly, he didn’t consider that at the start. Resentment overwhelmed him and he had no choice but to sneak into the wedding venue because he could not sit back and do nothing about Wen Xinya’s death.
Si Yiyan snorted with laughter and said, “Your actions are useless.”
Xu Zhenyu was a foolish teammate and comrade that Si Yiyan did not need at all.
Si Yiyan had given the Xu family a chance to make a comeback. However, Xu Zhenyu did something to pull them down without their knowledge. Once Xu Zhenyu took action, the Xu family would be deemed as murderers and their reputation would be ruined even if the Korean-Chinese Alliance was eradicated.
Xu Zhenyu crawled on the grown feebly and said, “Even then, it’s better than doing nothing.”
He could not bring himself to watch Xia Ruya encroach on everything that was supposed to belong to Wen Xinya and live a blissful life afterward.
Si Yiyan said coldly, “You’re still as childish and useless as you used to be.”
“You…” Xu Zhenyu said with a look of resentment. He utterly detested Si Yiyan and the way that he was staring at him condescendingly. It was as if he was just an ant.
“Have you ever thought about the destruction that you will be facing if you were to stab them? The Xu Family is going to be implicated as well. In order to secure a footing in the world, one would have to bear the responsibility of repaying their parents. If you can’t be grateful and filial to your parents, you’d be worse than a beast.”
“I don’t want that to happen, I just want to take revenge for Xinya,” Xu Zhenyu said with anger written all over his face. Si Yiyan’s words made Xu Zhenyu’s pride diminish completely. The Xu family had already been implicated by him, and if he were to make that mistake again…
He shivered uncontrollably!
“Revenge? You’re not fit enough,” Si Yiyan said coldly.
In Si Yiyan’s eyes, Xu Zhenyu was only haughty and arrogant because he had been spoiled rotten by his rich family. Xu Zhenyu was only proud because he didn’t wish to accept his family’s arrangements and wanted to stop letting them control his life.
There were plenty of people like Xu Zhenyu in the upper-class society.
However, none of them had a good ending.
One would first have to become stronger in order to take control of their own life.
By leading himself onto the path of destruction, he would just be ruining himself.
Si Yiyan found him to be childish and a major joke.
Xu Zhenyu stared at Si Yiyan in shock and asked, “What do you mean?”
Si Yiyan moved his feet away slowly and revealed the dagger that was shining brightly beneath the light. Si Yiyan bent forward and raised Xu Zhenyu’s chin with the dagger. “Do you love Wen Xinya?”
Xu Zhenyu did not answer him because he felt that there was no need to tell Si Yiyan how dearly he loved Wen Xinya.
Si Yiyan shook his head slowly and said, “You don’t love her at all. The only person you love is yourself.”
“Nonsense!” Xu Zhenyu retorted agitatedly. He did love Wen Xinya, and he felt that no one loved her more than he did.
“You’re just guarding her helplessly. You call that love? Money, status and authority are just at your fingertips since you’re the son of the Xu Family. Once you attain them, you’d be able to protect her. Who’d be able to harm her then?”
Xu Zhenyu seemed to have lost his self-righteousness as he laid sluggishly on the ground like a deflated balloon.
“You’re just sympathizing with her and taking pity on her. As the second young master of the Xu family, everyone knows that you’re spoiled and pampered. In a way, you’re the same as Wen Xinya and both of you face the harsh criticism of many. However… you’re much better than Wen Xinya because you’re in a better plight.
“So… when you’re facing Wen Xinya, you feel this strong sense of superiority and pride which gives you the feeling of being needed by Wen Xinya. You no longer feel useless. Hence, you watched her struggle in the doldrums for seven years.”
Xu Zhenyu retorted. “No… that’s not the case. It’s not like what you said at all. I love Wen Xinya…”
However, his powerless rebuttal made him look extremely pathetic.
He did love Wen Xinya, but Si Yiyan was right about there being a sense of superiority, sympathy and many other emotions mixed with his impure love.
Si Yiyan exclaimed calmly, “Take her down!”
He only said those words to Xu Zhenyu on the account of Wen Xinya. He hoped that Xu Zhenyu would be enlightened so that he would be worthy of his help.
That way, Wen Xinya would probably be heartened to know about it in the netherworld!
