287 Refusing to Admit It

Liu Siyu did not dare to speak.

Fang Xiaonuan hurriedly walked over and tugged at her husband, who was still in a fit of anger. “Why are you being so fierce? You’re the only one with such a loud voice. If you scare Xiaoyu into tears again and she ignores you in the future, then what?”

“She’s just a little girl. It’s not appropriate for her to wear a bathrobe and hug a man. She even started scolding people. Can I not say anything?”

“She’s hugging her brother. Who else should she hug?”

Ji Lingchen was rendered speechless by his wife’s words. Before his sister’s identity became known, he had no right to interfere in Liu Siyu’s affairs.

Liu Siyan reached out and tucked Liu Siyu’s hair behind her ear. Then he lowered his head, and kissed the top of her head lightly. “Let’s go inside and get you changed. Don’t catch a cold.”

“Okay.” Liu Siyu obediently held his brother’s arm and was about to enter the room.

Suddenly, Ji Lingchen stepped forward. He grabbed Liu Siyan by the shoulder and pulled him back out. “Why are you going in?”

Liu Siyu gathered her courage and said to Ji Lingchen, “My brother will keep me company while I get dressed!”

“You’re a 20-year-old lady. How can you let your brother in when you’re changing?”

With that, he snatched the bag from Liu Siyan’s hand and threw it to Liu Siyu. Then he pushed his wife’s back and said, “Be good. Go in and accompany her.”

Fang Xiaonuan, who had been pushed into the room by her husband was speechless.

After the door closed, Liu Siyu finally could not hold it in any longer and asked Fang Xiaonuan, “Xiaonuan, is there something wrong with your husband? Did he not forget to take his medicine today? Is it not enough for him to worry about you? Why is he worried about me as well? He’s crazy and a big fool!”

Fang Xiaonuan could not bear to listen any longer and said, “Ah, stop it. My husband is so busy. How does he have time to worry about you too? Also, about you being pushed into the water this time, just wait and see. My husband will not let Yue Qi and Li Shu’s family off.”

Although he did not say much, the calmer Ji Lingchen became, the more he cared about this matter. People in high positions would not let others easily see through them.

“Xiaonuan, let me ask you something. Why has your husband been involving himself in my business recently? He’s just always doing things that might cause people to misunderstand. And you’re not angry at all?”

Liu Siyu looked at her friend, puzzled. She hoped that she could give her an answer.

Fang Xiaonuan took out the clothes from the bag and placed them on the bed one by one. After hesitating for a while, she slowly said, “My husband once lost a younger sister.”

Hearing this, Liu Siyu’s eyes narrowed. “So?”

Fang Xiaonuan said, “You probably remind him of her. That’s why he treats you like a younger sister and want to take care of you.”

The two of them fell silent.

Liu Siyu shook her head, trying to get the memory of her crying and screaming for her brother out of her mind.

“You’re so annoying!”

“Why are you saying the same thing as Sun Wukong?”

“It’s nothing.” After that, Liu Siyu took the clothes and went to the bathroom.

Fang Xiaonuan picked up her friend’s underwear and asked, “Xiaoyu, don’t tell me that your brother also took this from your closet.”

“What?” Liu Siyu snatched the underwear away. “My mom gave it to me, okay?”

After changing his clothes, Ji Wen went to stand next to Ji Lingchen.

“Siyu, how are you feeling?” Ji Wen asked.

“I’m fine,” Liu Siyu said, jumping up and down. “Let’s go home.”

They all nodded, and before the gathering ended, the three of them were brought home.

In the car, Ji Lingchen turned on his vengeful mode again. “Ji Wen, tell me everything you know about Yue Qi and Li Shu,”

“Alright, Li Shu is Yue Qi’s follower and wants to curry favor with the Yue family,” Ji Wen said. “Yue Qi is a scoundrel. He has always liked Siyu, but she does not return his feelings. Once, Fang Xiaonuan even beat him up, but because the Fang family and the Yue family’s power were on par, this matter was left unsettled.”

“Did Xiaonuan hit anyone today?”

Fang Xiaonuan, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, said, “No, I really didn’t.”

Ji Lingchen, who understood his wife very well, asked, “You didn’t throw them into the pool?”

Fang Xiaonuan was stubborn and said, “They couldn’t walk steadily, so they slipped and fell in,” she said.

“Is that so?” Ji Lingchen asked in return.

“Yes!” Fang Xiaonuan nodded.

In any case, she did not remember hitting anyone. If she could not remember it, it meant nothing. If her husband found out, she would not admit it no matter what. Otherwise, she would just say that she had lost her memory!
