Although these things are considered secret, but if one has the intention to find out, it is not impossible to know. At least, Old Lady Su, who often visited the Yan family, is not unfamiliar with them.
Su Siyu thought for a moment and then said, “I remember the uncle who presided over our wedding. I also know the Yan family from Country F. It’s now September, so a little over a month ago, they recognized their long-lost eldest son and grandson.”
“I also know that three years later, before the patriarch of the Yan family in Country F became critically ill, the heir was changed, and it was Yan Shuya who inherited the position of the patriarch of the family. About five years later, the Yan family in Country F encountered a crisis that almost implicated the main family. It was you who stepped in to resolve it.”
These are all events that will happen in the future, and they are also quite important for Yan Sui and the Yan family.
At that time, although his mind was not on Yan Sui, he was living in the Yan residence, and it was big news that spread back to Haicheng, so he naturally remembered it.
After Su Siyu finished speaking, he continued to stubbornly stare at Yan Sui. Unfortunately, Yan Sui always had the same expression towards him, unfathomable. It was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry, and he couldn’t even tell whether he believed what he said or not.
“Yan Sui, you have to believe me, I wouldn’t say such things to deceive you. I’m starting over because I want to treat you well.”
“You said you married me, so what about Meng Ting?”
Yan Sui finally spoke. His gaze was very oppressive, as if he could see through the demons and monsters in people’s hearts at a glance. It was very, very difficult for Su Siyu to lie in front of him.
“Him?” Su Siyu was a little surprised that Yan Sui didn’t ask about himself or the Yan family right away, but instead asked about Meng Ting. However, since he had already confessed everything to Yan Sui, there was nothing he couldn’t answer.
“There is no Meng Ting. In the previous life, there was no such person in the noble circle of Haicheng.”
This is also something Su Siyu couldn’t figure out. In the previous life, there was no such person as Meng Ting at all, and there was no such thing as him intercepting the marriage. “Yan Sui, the person who should marry you is me, me!”
If it weren’t for Meng Ting, if it weren’t for his sudden appearance, in this lifetime, it would still be him marrying Yan Sui, the him who was already on the path to redemption. Although it would be difficult to make Yan Sui like him immediately, as long as they were together, he would definitely have a chance.
But now he doesn’t even have this opportunity, how can he be willing to accept this? He likes Yan Sui, perhaps with a bit of vanity, but he truly likes Yan Sui. The only person he could think of between life and death is him, how can he say he doesn’t like him?
Yan Sui did not respond to this, but there was still no trace of regret or emotion on his expression. He only felt fortunate, and along with that fortune, a sense of fear. There’s no Meng Ting… how lonely would his previous life have been?
It was just a sudden thought before, but now it was confirmed by Su Siyu. It turned out that the trajectory of fate might have deviated, and he would not have the happiness he has now.
“So this is your reason for wanting to harm Meng Ting?”
A faint cold smile appeared on Yan Sui’s face as he glanced at the time again, “You have seventeen minutes left.”
Su Siyu relied on what he knew from his previous life to get here, but since Yan Sui didn’t give him any guarantees, he couldn’t possibly reveal everything.
He pondered for a moment and then made his request, “I want you to divorce Meng Ting. If you can…”
“Impossible,” Yan Sui immediately interrupted him. The fierce light in his eyes was chilling, as if he wanted to skin the person in front of him alive and tear them to pieces. It was clear that Su Siyu’s words had definitely crossed Yan Sui’s taboo.
Yan Sui curled the corner of his mouth into a slight cold smile, slowly standing up. He found it quite ridiculous to be listening to Su Siyu here. “Whether what you say is true or false, it means nothing to me. Haven’t you noticed? Even if what you say is true, the world is still changing.”
“The person I am married to now is Meng Ting, and the person I’m in love with is also Meng Ting.” Yan Sui didn’t mind telling Su Siyu that he loved Meng Ting, not liked, but loved. Divorce? If Su Siyu dared to entertain such an idea, he really had been spoiled by the Su family to the point of being reckless.
“Even if you don’t want to say it, I can guess. You and I… ha, how could there be anything between me and you?”
In Yan Sui’s eyes, Su Siyu’s good looks are not even as good as an interesting book. The world may change, the trajectory may change, but people will not. He is still Yan Sui, and Su Siyu is still Su Siyu. There was never any possibility of anything happening between them.
He didn’t need to verify this with Su Siyu at all. Even if there was something, it was something from his previous life. It was the past him who was blind, so what does it have to do with the him now?
“If this is your biggest bargaining chip, then I want to tell you that you will never achieve any of your wishes.” Not just this time when he harmed Meng Ting, he won’t let him go, and that includes the future!
The failures of Su Siyu in both his lives may have external factors, but more of it was due to his own reasons.
Yan Sui’s words were too absolute, and Su Siyu felt as if his heart was being pricked by needles. He took a step back, his expression a mix of humiliation and stubbornness. Gritting his teeth, he said, “Yan Sui, are you that confident? Confident that you won’t encounter natural disasters, that you won’t face man-made calamities?”
Is he not even a little curious about the future? Not even a bit fearful? Su Siyu didn’t believe it.
“Natural disasters are fate, human-made disasters? I will solve them.”
Yan Sui didn’t say this casually; he had the capital to say so. He lived to the age of twenty-eight, but his life was not as smooth as outsiders thought. What he went through, Su Siyu didn’t understand at all.
He doesn’t live in the past, nor does he need to be anxious about the future. What he values is the present, the present he shares with Meng Ting.
After preventing a natural disaster once, who can guarantee that there won’t be another one? No one can stop a disaster that is destined to happen. As for man-made disasters, if he had listened to Su Siyu, there would probably be even greater disasters.
If he were to give up Meng Ting for the uncertain future that Su Siyu mentioned, how could that be possible? Just because Su Siyu is not clear-headed, does he think he is not clear-headed as well?
“You will regret it. You will definitely regret it.” Su Siyu spoke almost hysterically, but then he changed his tone and became mournful. He looked at Yan Sui pleadingly, his eyes slightly red, looking very emotional.
“Yan Sui, don’t be like this. Only I, only I can make your life a little less difficult.”
He bit his lip, still unwilling to give in. He took a few more steps closer, his voice dropping even lower, “Yan Sui, I know Dad. I can save his life. Are you willing to give up his life for Meng Ting?”
“What do you know?” Yan Sui reached out and directly grabbed Su Siyu’s neck, his gaze even more dangerous than before. Indeed, within Yan Sui’s bottom line, he could choose not to look for Yan Yu, not to look for He Yue, but the premise was that they both had to be living well.
He paused and then pushed Su Siyu away with great disgust, “My father died before I was born. The whole of Haicheng knows this. Just because you say he’s alive, he is?”
“He didn’t die… I don’t really know what happened, but he didn’t die.” Su Siyu’s expression didn’t seem like he was lying, but it also gave Yan Sui some clues. He might know a little, but not much.
Yan Sui raised his hand again to check the watch, “Time’s up, let’s go out.”
His emotions were suppressed too quickly, and Su Siyu couldn’t see through his thoughts at all. But that was Yan Sui’s biological father; how could he not care about his life and death? Su Siyu tentatively asked, “Is this enough?”
“Meng Ting is fine, isn’t he? I don’t want you to divorce him either. Just find me a place to stay, keep me here, and I’ll tell you everything, everything.”
From being a legally wedded wife to now voluntarily becoming a mistress, Su Siyu felt he had already endured enough humiliation.
However, Yan Sui only glanced at him, then continued walking past him, opened the door, and looked at Su Siyu with the same indifference.
Su Siyu couldn’t figure out what Yan Sui was thinking, but there was no point in him staying in the study, so he walked out. Yan Sui closed the door before continuing to go downstairs.
Su Siyu took a step back and followed Yan Sui. His eyes were slightly red, as if he had been crying. He wasn’t afraid of being seen by others, even raising his chin on purpose. He wanted Meng Ting to see him more clearly. It didn’t matter if there was some misunderstanding. However, Meng Ting’s gaze never fell on him.
Meng Ting let go of Maoqiu and stood up, no longer cared that there were outsiders around him. He walked over and naturally wrapped his arms around Yan Sui, murmuring, “I’m still really worried.”
For the past half hour, he had Maoqiu and Dahuang to accompany him, and he talked with Zhen Han and Gu Lang, but he was still worried.
He wasn’t worried about Yan Sui, but he was worried that Su Siyu would take advantage of Yan Sui regardless of the consequences. He sniffed around Yan Sui’s neck and didn’t smell anything unusual, so he felt a bit relieved and continued to hold Yan Sui’s waist.
Yan Sui didn’t mind the crowd’s attention either. He hugged Meng Ting back, even gently kissing Meng Ting’s hair. He raised his hand to rub the back of Meng Ting’s neck, then continued to hold him as they walked back to the sofa.
Su Siyu walked to Old Lady Su’s side with a gloomy look on his face. As for the look in Old Lady Su’s eyes, it’s not like he didn’t see it, but he wasn’t sure what Yan Sui was thinking, so he couldn’t give her an accurate answer.
When Yan Sui walked over, Zhen Han and Gu Lang also looked over. They were somewhat curious and also a little nervous. They felt that Yan Sui should not let Su Siyu go, but Old Lady Su and Su Siyu clearly came prepared. Perhaps they really had something that could sway Yan Sui.
“Uncle Xiao,” Yan Sui said, gesturing towards the door. Uncle Xiao walked over, and Yan Sui continued, “You and Zhao Bing should go to the police station and file a report.”
“Wha… what?” Su Siyu almost shouted. He had revealed almost all of his trump cards to Yan Sui, except for the most crucial one. But why was Yan Sui still indifferent? Did Meng Ting beside him really have such great charm that it surpassed even his biological father’s life?
Yan Sui held Meng Ting even tighter, his voice calm and indifferent, “You can’t even change your own fate, yet you dare to try to change mine. You overestimate yourself.”
[dropdown title=”List of Idiom in Chapter 052.1″]
魑魅魍魎 (chī mèi wǎng liǎng): the four demons chi, mei, wang and liang; demons and monsters of all kinds; demons and monsters (idiom); all sorts of evil spirits; demons and devils; ghosts and spirits—all sorts of evil persons; refers to the legendary ghosts and monsters that harm people in the mountains and rivers. It is also a metaphor for all kinds of bad people. Chimei wangliang, or Chimimōryō is a term that refers to monsters of the mountains and monsters of the rivers. The term originated in China roughly 2,500 years ago in ancient chronicles such as the Zuo Zhuan. It originates from ancient Chinese legends about the spirits that harm people in the mountains and swamps, and its original meaning is “all kinds of Yaoguai (demons and ghosts)”. Actually, “Chi Mei Wang Liang” does not consist of four demons, but three. They are Chi, Mei, and Wangliang. “Chi” is a demon that looks like a dragon. It had been staying in a thickly forested mountain, so it is also known as a monster of the mountain. It is said that it likes to kill its prey and dug a hole to hide it. “Mei” is also generally described as a demon living in a thickly forested mountain. The difference is that it likes to seduce people, is a monster that likes to harm people. If you have learned these Chinese words: “mèi lì”, “mèi huò”, the mèi here refers to the seducing power of this demon. “Wangliang” is a water ghost. Its appearance is like a three-year-old child. Because it is a water ghost, it often makes trouble in the water. It enjoyed feasting on the livers of corpses. Nowadays, people generally think that “the thing that is more terrible than ghosts is the human heart”, therefore this idiom Chi Mei Wang Liang is used to describe all sorts of evil persons.
