Almost as soon as Rong Yan left, Li Shengxiao stood up with the handsome little boy and said to Cui Jiangjing, âIâm going upstairs.â
âGo on, go on,â Cui Jiangjing waved his hand, not surprised at all.
Li Shengxiao led Little Baby upstairs without looking back.
Shen Siyuan watched the manâs tall and straight figure disappear, biting her lip as if she wanted to chase after him.
It was then that Cui Jiangjing stretched out his hand to block her path. His elegant face lost the usual frivolous smile as he sternly reprimanded her without mercy, âWhat are you trying to do? Do you think today wasnât embarrassing enough?â
Shen Siyuanâs face lost its color from his scolding, and she bit her lip, trying to push his hand away, âItâs none of your business!â
Cui Jiangjing grabbed her arm, making her stand still, and said irritably, âYou think I want to deal with you? If it werenât for your brotherâs sake, I wouldnât care what you do. Iâm neither your dad nor your mom!â
âLet me ask you, after causing such a scene for so long, to the point where everyone ignored you, did you find that enjoyable?â
Shen Siyuan felt so suffocated by his words that she shook off his hand, her eyes reddening with fury as she glared at him, âI just canât accept it!â
To put it plainly, she just couldnât accept it!
She might have felt better losing to someone on par with her. But why should she accept defeat to an eighteenth-tier actress?
Was it not normal for her not to want to admit defeat?
A vein on Cui Jiangjingâs forehead throbbed violently as he looked at her with frustration, lowering his voice, âThere are many more things you canât accept, will you struggle to win them all?â
Shen Siyuan pursed her lips tightly, twisting her stubbornness and remaining silent.
Cui Jiangjing truly didnât know what to say to her anymore and could only bring himself to say something harsh, âSiyuan, the world doesnât revolve around you, and not many people are going to indulge you. Iâll say it again, stop it. Donât act up in front of Shengxiao anymore. If you keep it up, one day you will wear out Shengxiaoâs last bit of patience, and then all youâll have left is crying.â
By then, no one would be able to help her!
Shen Siyuanâs eyes reddened, and with a wavering shimmer, she opened her mouth to retort, âShengxiao will never treat me like you said. Youâre just doing this for Rong Yan, deliberately making things difficult for me! Do you think that by saying this I will let go of Shengxiao? I will not let go! Mrs. Lin has just been blinded for the moment, unaware of that womanâs situation. Once Mrs. Lin finds out, she will not agree to that womanâs presence either.â
Cui Jiangjing couldnât bother arguing with her and didnât want to tell her that Li Duidui was Rong Yanâs child. Seeing her obdurate attitude, he simply snapped, âWhatever you want!â
âIâve said what I needed to, and even what I didnât. If you wonât listen, thereâs nothing I can do. As I said, think it over. You are still our sister, but if you canât come to terms with it, maybe this relationship will truly fade.â
Shen Siyuan opened her mouth in disbelief, âAre you saying you want to cut ties with me? Just for some ridiculous woman? Donât tell me you like her too!â
Cui Jiangjing wasnât angry before, but on hearing her words, he frowned, âDonât talk nonsense. If Shengxiao hears this, he might think itâs true. Iâm taking your side, which is why Iâm saying all this. If I didnât care, I would have just let you embarrass yourself earlier, enjoying the spectacle.â
Shen Siyuan then remembered her earlier humiliation, feeling even more mortified.
Cui Jiangjing didnât want to criticize her further, so he left her with, âJust think about it.â
Then he went to tell the butler that he had to leave early due to other matters.
