"How could she have the nerve to come back?"
"Just a few years ago, she shared a bed with some wild man for money. Completely shameless!"
"Exactly, even gave birth to a wild seed. Ah, truly a disgrace to the Si family!"
Si Xueli heard these rumors and gossips, her expression unchanged as she stepped into the Si family house.
If it wasn't for her father's relics left here, she wouldn't want to step foot in this place she once called home.
Tonight, the Si family house was bustling with activity.
A long red carpet stretched from the gate to the front door of the house, resembling a scene where celebrities walk the red carpet. Men in suits and women in western-style dresses, each person holding a high-footed cup in their hands.
"Si Xueli?"
Si Yiyi quickly stepped towards Si Xueli. Her exquisite makeup couldn't hide her angry face: "Did you deliberately come to ruin the party!? Choosing to come back on the 80th birthday of our grandfather! The people of prestige in the city are all here tonight. You better leave at once!"
Si Xueli met Si Yiyi's face with indifference. Her stunning eyes, glittering like the stars, cast off a cold light. Huh, as if they could remember their birthdays.
Si Xueli's expression was cool: "I only came back to take my father's relic. I will leave as soon as I get it. I am not interested in any other matters concerning the Si family."
"Si Xueli, how dare you speak to me like this!" Si Yiyi stomped her foot in anger!
This woman has changed a lot in the years they haven't seen each other. She isn't easy to bully anymore.
"How insolent!"
The old man's voice echoed from behind.
Si Xueli was speechless. Great, another one.
It’s never good to forget to check the calendar before leaving the house. Nothing has been going right since she returned to home country.
Si Xueli turned around…
Slap!
The elderly man's large palm accurately landed on her face!
A handprint instantly appeared on Si Xueli's fair face. She was struck so hard that her head turned to one side. Holding her face, she glared at the old man who hit her.
In the past, she must have been blind, always respectfully calling him grandfather. But what was the result? The moment the Si family was in trouble, the first thing he did was to protect his eldest granddaughter, Si Chen, offering her as a sacrifice for benefits!
"What kind of look is that?" The old man, referred to as Grandfather Si, glared at Si Xueli, his mouth full of resentment: "I haven't even held you accountable for tarnishing the reputation of our Si family, but now you have the gall to step foot into Si household without my permission!?"
Si Xueli laughed as if she heard the funniest joke in the world, retorting, "I tarnished the Si family's reputation?"
Though she was laughing, her heart was bleeding.
The deepest wounds always came from those you held closest!
They had used her for their advantage, and when their deeds were exposed, they were all like wolves and jackals, putting the blame entirely on her, claiming she was climbing into a man's bed for money - disgraceful!
She was wronged. How was it all about money? Even at this moment, she had no idea who the man was that had tormented her to near-death every night so many years ago!!
Suddenly, a servant rushed in and gasped, “Second Young Mistress, Master, something terrible has happened. The young master of the Zhuang family is missing!!” Upon hearing the news, both Si Yiyi and the Grandfather Si's expressions drastically changed.
Si Yiyi started trembling, muttering: “This is bad….The young master of the Zhuang family has Type 1 diabetes, what if something happens to him at our house….”
Si Yiyi dared not to think about it.
People who have offended the head of the house have only one way to go, especially those who harm the young master of the house. In four words, they meet a horrific death!
Type 1 diabetes?
What a coincidence, this young master of the house actually has the same disease as her little treasure at home!
Out of sympathy for the same illness, Si Xueli could not stand by and joined the search team for the young master of the house.
She did not follow them, seeing that everyone else was spreading out to search, she chose a direction where no one else was heading.
