He broke his vows for her, and a tycoon descended to earth for love.

Chapter 175 She's Angry

"No, I'm fine."

Siyi calmly withdrew her hand. Perhaps she had already endured the initial pain, because she could no longer feel how much pain her wound was in. "Let go of me. I'm sorry to bother you."

She didn't even look at Jiang Yanhui's face when she spoke.

Those few simple words were filled with a strong smell of jealousy. Others might not be able to smell it, but how could Jiang Yan Hui not smell it?

She must have overheard her conversation with Minami Aoki.

Jiang Yan felt a sense of foreboding and hurriedly tried to explain, "Sisi, did you just hear something...?"

"Brother Yan Hui, who is she? Is she your friend?"

Just then, Nan Qingshu walked over, tugged at Jiang Yan Hui's sleeve, and looked at Si Yi with curiosity. After a moment, as if remembering something, he exclaimed with sudden realization, "Oh, it's her! I was wondering why she looked so familiar when I glanced at her earlier. Brother Yan Hui, isn't she the lawyer who made the newspapers with you in that scandal? When I was abroad, I would follow the news in City A, and I never missed anything about you."

"Shut up!"

Nan Qingshu's words seemed harmless, but when they reached Siyi's ears, her expression turned even more unpleasant.

Jiang Yan gave her a warning glare and coldly interrupted her, "Qingshu, go inside and tell my grandfather that I have to leave first."

"Brother Yan Hui..."

Nan Qingshu's two delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly; she was naturally unhappy to be ignored like this.

But before she could grab Jiang Yanhui, the door to the next private room was opened from the inside.

Lin Zhenbiao was the first to come out. He saw that the two children had been out for a long time and hadn't come back in, so he came out to check. Who knew that he would see such a scene when he opened the door.

Behind him followed a somewhat bewildered middle-aged man, who was Nan Qingshu's father.

Lin Zhenbiao's gaze swept over Siyi beside Jiang Yan, and his expression immediately darkened. "Why is she here?"

The question was rather harsh. Siyi didn't consider herself to be a person with a good temper, especially since the old man had spoken extremely rudely to her in Ye Xiongming's hospital room last time.

Siyi knew he was not simple, but did that mean she could so freely criticize others just because she herself was not simple?

She was already quite agitated, and now, hearing Lin Zhenbiao's rude remark, as if he owned the hotel and she couldn't come, only made things worse.

She bit her lip, the words swirling in her throat, but she couldn't bring herself to say them.

Forget it, why bother arguing with an old man?

She just didn't want to stay here any longer, and she really wasn't suited to stay any longer. This should be their two families' "marriage banquet," right?

Whose eyes are we getting in her way by standing here, being an outsider like her?

Siyi struggled a bit, trying to get away.

Jiang Yan Hui naturally wouldn't let go. The more she struggled, the tighter he held on. However, her hand was injured, and he saw her face getting worse and worse. He didn't dare to use brute force. Back and forth, he could only go around and put his arm around her waist, lean close to her, and whisper, "Don't move. I'll take you to the hospital right away."

He didn't speak very loudly, but in the quiet corridor, his words were clearly heard by everyone present.

Everyone had different expressions. Nan Qingshu's father stood there somewhat awkwardly, while Nan Qingshu looked at Jiang Yanhui and Siyi with a calm expression.

Only Lin Zhenbiao immediately turned cold.

Who burned her?

Upon hearing this, the waiter standing nearby immediately stepped forward tremblingly, "...It was, it was my fault..."

"Since it wasn't you, Yan Hui, who burned the person, why are you so eager to take the blame?"

Lin Zhenbiao waved his hand and said to the waiter, "Go call an ambulance. Is this the kind of service your hotel provides? You burned a guest and immediately called for a hospital. Hurry up and get there."

Upon hearing this, the waiter nodded hurriedly and turned to make a phone call, but Jiang Yan stopped him, saying, "No need to make a call, I will take the person to the hospital. You can go down now."

"Yan Hui, you haven't even finished your meal, why are you going to the hospital? Her hand is burned, not her foot. Besides, even if her whole body was burned, there's still an ambulance, right? What are you doing getting involved?"

Lin Zhenbiao's tone was extremely impolite. He disliked Siyi no matter how he looked at her, especially the cold and arrogant air about her. What was so good about her? Qingshu was far better than her!

Upon hearing this, Siyi felt even more uncomfortable.

She knew that the old man harbored strong hostility towards her.

But wasn't he being a bit too rude with his words?

She had originally planned to hold back and not say anything, but now she really couldn't help herself.

Biting her lip, she pushed Jiang Yan away forcefully and said, "Whether I'm burned or not, you don't need to go to such lengths. There's no need for an ambulance. I'm not that delicate. I can walk by myself."

She stubbornly raised her chin, glanced at Lin Zhenbiao's displeased face, and, not wanting to say anything more, turned to leave.

Jiang Yan suddenly stepped forward and stopped her. "Where are you going? Don't move. I'll take you to the hospital."

"Young Master Yan, please don't interfere. My feet are perfectly fine, and I can drive and walk without any problems. There's no need for you to go to the trouble of taking me to the hospital."

Siyi walked right past Jiang Yanhui, her tone cold, "Excuse me, Young Master Yan, could you please move aside?"

"Sisi..."

"Yan Hui, they already said they don't need you to escort them, come back here!"

Lin Zhenbiao couldn't stand seeing his grandson fawning over Siyi. He was so pathetic. She was just a woman, yet he was so submissive. It seemed this lawyer girl was quite shrewd, managing to charm Yan Hui so easily. She deserved to die!

"Grandpa, could you please say less?!"

Jiang Yan felt completely overwhelmed. He watched as Si Yi's complexion grew increasingly pale, and the red mark on her wrist became more and more noticeable, covered with glistening blisters. Heaven knows how much pain that must have caused. Besides, why wasn't her skin delicate anymore?

If this continues, it might even leave scars...

His tone was somewhat urgent. Lin Zhenbiao was taken aback by his low growl, and then realized what Jiang Yan had said.

In front of outsiders, he actually dared to be so disrespectful to me, yelling at me for the sake of a woman, and telling me to say less.

Lin Zhenbiao's eyes darkened, and his face turned ashen. "Yan Hui, do you know what you're saying? How dare you speak to me like this for that woman? Did I say anything wrong? What's so great about being a lawyer? Let me tell you, I only allowed you to postpone your wedding because I dote on you, but your wedding with Qing Shu is a must. Nan Qing Shu is your future wife, Jiang Yan Hui."

His gaze swept over her, then he glanced at Siyi, snorted coldly, and said without any mercy, "And you, Attorney Ye, isn't that right? It's good that you're here today. Listen to me carefully, Yan Hui is not the kind of man you can imagine. He's only spoiling you now because he's indulging in a bit of excitement. But let me tell you, don't think that just because Yan Hui is on your side, you can act so lawlessly. I brought Yan Hui out today to discuss the engagement. You little brat, you really don't know what's good for you. What, did you come here to cause trouble? Did you deliberately let that waiter burn you so you could lure Yan Hui back? You might fool Yan Hui with that kind of trick, but you can't fool me. The whole of City A is so big, why did you have to come to our private room at this time of year..."

"Grandpa!"

Jiang Yan's face was already very ugly. He did not expect Lin Zhenbiao to say it to this extent. At this moment, Si Yi in front of him was tense all over. He was so close to her that he could almost feel her breathing slowing down little by little.

She was angry.

He cursed under his breath, feeling that things were getting more and more complicated.

What kind of personality does his little wildcat have? Others may not know, but surely he does.

Her grandfather's words not only completely rejected her, but also insulted her character. How could someone as strong-willed as her remain unmoved?

Sure enough, the next second, Siyi's clear and cold voice rang out.

"Mr. Lin, is that it? You really think highly of me. Do you think I have the looks to seduce your good grandson? I thought I was worthless in your eyes, but I don't think you would give me a high evaluation either. How could someone as beautiful as me seduce your good grandson? You can only blame his poor taste. Why does he have to like a woman like me? It's no use for you to scold me and belittle me. My life's value is not measured by a complete stranger. What you said to me doesn't affect me at all. I just feel that an old man who has lived more than half a lifetime than me is so short-sighted."

She took out her fingers and made a short, shallow gesture.

A slight curve at the corner of her lips, a smile that, reflected in the orange light of the corridor, was almost dazzling.

Her voice remained calm and unhurried, yet every word she uttered carried a unique arrogance characteristic of Ye Siyi. "You think I deliberately showed up here to interrupt your blind date? I'm sorry to disappoint you, but while I, Ye Siyi, may not have any special abilities, my life is definitely not revolving around a man. Besides, I'm very busy; I don't have the time in America to do such pointless things!"
