Chapter 267 Bewitched
Chapter 267 Bewitched
Two women were sitting by the window in the restaurant.
The woman with flowing long hair wore a light blue dress. Her face was serene, gentle, and delicate, and she was very charming. Her beautiful eyebrows and eyes carried a touch of tranquility.
It evokes an indescribable stirring in one's heart.
Across from her sat a short-haired woman with side-swept bangs that revealed a bit of her full forehead. She wore a smart suit that accentuated her graceful figure. Her expression was calm, revealing little emotion, but her bright eyes gave her a unique aura.
"Siyi..." Lin Piaoyun spoke first, her voice soft, "Where have you been all these years?"
“Piaoyun, I’m sorry.” Siyi’s calm voice carried a hint of guilt. Her white fingers rested lightly on the rim of the coffee cup. She suppressed the urge to sigh and slowly said, “I’ve been in B City all this time. I’m sorry I haven’t contacted you all these years because I was afraid he would find me. So… In short, I’m so sorry for making you worry about me for so many years. I deserve to die.”
Lin Piaoyun reached out and gently took Siyi's hand. "Don't say that. How could I blame you? I was just worried about you. But now that I see you are safe and sound and living well, I am really happy. When Yu Chengfeng told me you were here, I couldn't believe it! Now that I've actually seen you, I feel it's all true. Siyi, please don't leave again, okay? Even if you have to leave, you should contact me."
Siyi felt a little uneasy in her throat.
Lin Piaoyun's words moved her. They used to have that kind of relationship, but she had once wanted to abandon their friendship.
She didn't blame herself at all. She pursed her lips and nodded heavily. "Mm."
"Sigh, it's good that you're back. But I didn't expect your child to be so big now."
Lin Piaoyun recalled the little girl she had seen at the elevator entrance earlier. She should be with Jiang Yan Hui now. When they met at the elevator entrance, they ran into Jiang Yan Hui again, who was also with a boy. The boy's features and demeanor were very similar to a combination of Si Yi and Jiang Yan Hui. "What are your plans for the future? I heard Yu Chengfeng say that Jiang Yan Hui knows that you have given birth to two children for him. You also know that he doesn't have any children now. And I think he seems to really like those two children."
This topic is ultimately the most sensitive one, and also the one that Siyi finds most difficult to talk about right now. To be honest, she has no idea what to do, but since things have already come to this, she naturally can't escape it.
Her long eyelashes drooped quietly, and after a long while, she shook her head. "I haven't thought about it yet, but I'll let nature take its course. When I gave birth to them, I thought that maybe this day would come, but I never expected it to be today. After all, they are his children, and I have no right to prevent them from seeing each other." She didn't want to discuss this topic that gave her a headache anymore, so she casually changed the subject. "What about you? How have you been these past few years? Have you been with Yu Chengfeng the whole time?"
"Qizheng stayed in the United States. I had been to the United States before and lived with Qizheng for a period of time. He found a girlfriend there and they are about to get married."
Lin Piaoyun's vague remarks were clearly an attempt to change the subject, and Siyi, being intelligent, understood perfectly well.
Her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she asked instinctively, "It's been five years... Could it be that you and him...?"
“The Yu family is also a prominent family. Yu Chengfeng already had a fiancée when he was eighteen. Moreover, my background... I am not good enough for him. His family has never approved of me, so there is actually no relationship between us now.”
Lin Piaoyun's words sounded nonchalant, but her voice clearly betrayed a deep bitterness. Siyi felt a sharp pain in her heart as she watched her trying to hold on.
She originally thought that even though she had a bad five years, at least Piaoyun and Xiaran would be doing well.
But she didn't expect that, after all the twists and turns, Piaoyun still wouldn't end up with Yu Chengfeng.
"What makes you unworthy of him?" she said dismissively. "If feelings have to be about being a good match, then they're not feelings anymore. Piaoyun, how can you be so foolish? Are you going to waste your youth on a man?"
"Siyi, you know my father has been to prison. How could a family like ours possibly be worthy of the Yu family?"
"Floating Clouds..."
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. I'm fine now."
Lin Piaoyun shrugged casually, "Let's talk about something else."
.........
Since Lin Piaoyun had already said that, Siyi naturally couldn't insist on saying anything more. The two chatted casually for a few more minutes, avoiding touching on each other's sensitive topics. By the time they parted, almost the entire morning had passed. Since Siyi was taking her child back to City B and Lin Piaoyun was returning to City A, they only exchanged contact information before going their separate ways.
She had just run into Lin Piaoyun at the elevator entrance, so she had no choice but to hand over both children to Jiang Yanhui. Now she knew that he must have taken the two children to his room.
She sat there for a while, then made a phone call.
Actually, the number was the same one from five years ago, and she didn't expect it to still be active.
But to my surprise, it actually worked.
The phone was answered after two rings. The deep male voice on the other end was deliberately lowered, and it sounded even more alluring as it traveled through the airwaves to Siyi's ears, "Hmm? Finished talking?"
Siyi admitted that Jiang Yanhui possessed something that could make too many women infatuated.
His appearance, power, and even his voice are enough to make one blush and their heart race.
She herself admits that sometimes she can't control her heartbeat.
But the more she tried to persuade them, the more resistant they became. She said in a cold, hard voice, "Bring the children to the parking lot. I need to take them back to City B."
There was no sound for a long time on the other end of the phone. Siyi was getting impatient and was about to say something when he spoke up, his tone noticeably colder, "Come up and take them down yourself. I don't have time right now."
What is this nonsense?
Siyi was furious!
He didn't say that when he left with the two children. He clearly said he would bring them down in a little while.
Now you're saying you're too busy?
Siyi frowned in annoyance. "President Jiang, I'm sure you have a lot of people around you. Why don't you have your assistant bring Beibei and Tiantian down?"
"I told you, I'm busy."
The man was completely heartless at this moment, leaving no room for negotiation. He paused, then said with a hint of provocation, "What? You're too scared to come up? Don't worry, aren't you a lawyer? I'm not afraid of receiving your lawyer's letter. I won't do anything to you. Besides, there are quite a few people in my room. I'm very busy right now. If you want to take the child downstairs, then come up by yourself. Bye."
Siyi still had a sentence stuck in her throat when the other end of the phone hung up, leaving only a dial tone, which made her grit her teeth in anger.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yan, in the suite upstairs, hung up the phone with a wicked smile on his lips. He put away his phone, glanced at the two children who were now fast asleep on the bed after playing so much, and called Liu Qi over. He quietly instructed him to take good care of the two children, "I'm going to the room next door. Have someone wait by the elevator. When Lawyer Ye comes up, bring her to that room to find me. If the children wake up, get them something to eat and tell them that I'm with their mother so they don't need to worry."
Liu Qi was taken aback by Jiang Yan's well-organized instructions and subconsciously asked, "President Jiang, aren't we going to America today?"
He clearly remembered that President Jiang had a very important meeting over there. Had he forgotten?
Jiang Yan looked intently at the two children sleeping soundly on the bed, a hint of tenderness slowly appearing between his brows. He shook his head slightly, "I'm not going. Send someone over there to sign the contract. Stay here today, and go back to City A tomorrow. Also, send a few more people over to protect the two children for twenty hours. Don't let anything happen to them, and absolutely don't let them be exposed to the media. Understand?"
Liu Qi had followed Jiang Yan for so many years and had never seen him care so much about anyone or anything. Even if he was stupid, he must have figured something out.
Thinking about it now, it all makes sense. No wonder that lawyer Ye panicked and tried to distance herself from her boss when she heard about him. No wonder President Jiang reacted like that when he saw lawyer Ye. There were rumors in City A that President Jiang used to have a close relationship with a lawyer, but the lawyer disappeared, and that's why he married another woman.
Looking back now, all these rumors were more than just rumors.
He quickly replied, "Yes, Mr. Jiang, don't worry, I'll arrange everything."
Jiang Yan strode towards the door with his long legs and soon left the suite. Just as he closed the door, he saw a woman coming out of the elevator at the other end of the corridor.
Siyi was unwilling, but she still came up. As soon as she got off the elevator, she saw Jiang Yanhui. She bit her lip and strode towards him. "Where's the child?"
Jiang Yan released the doorknob, casually putting his hands into his pockets. His expression remained unchanged as he raised his delicate chin and pointed to the suite next to him, blatantly lying, "It's in there."
Siyi had no idea that the man in front of her was lying to her. "The child is there, what are you doing here? I told you to watch the child, how could you just let the two of them go? That's outrageous!"
Jiang Yan turned around, his expression darkening slightly. He was immediately speechless; he had been scolded for no reason.
However, only Ye Siyi in this world has the right to speak to him like that.
On second thought, I realized that I had put this unnecessary accusation on myself.
He gave a helpless smile, watching her stride towards the apartment. A faint green light flashed in his deep eyes, and his tall figure followed after her...
