chapter 4 Shocking he died a terrible death in the end

Chapter 4

Si Moyan's gaze fell on Wen Yan's clean, makeup-free face.

Without makeup, she looked much more agreeable.

But that was merely agreeable; he held not an ounce of fondness for her.

Si Moyan stubbed out his half-smoked cigarette in the ashtray. "Wen Yan, your grandfather once saved my grandfather's life, which is why the Si and Wen families arranged this marriage alliance. I hope you will honor our prenuptial agreement. In six months, we will go to the civil affairs bureau for a divorce."

Old Master Si was suffering from a terminal illness and didn't have long to live.

Before his passing, he wanted to see his eldest grandson married, so he had Si Moyan and Wen Yan enter a flash marriage.

Now, their marriage had lasted six months.

If the original plot proceeded, Si Moyan would divorce Wen Yan tomorrow.

[Old Master Si has had a hard life too. He's clearly the wealthiest man in Yecheng, married three wives in his youth, and none of them were easy to deal with.]

[Now, before he's even dead, the different branches of the family are fighting tooth and nail, trying to seize his shares. It's not a terminal illness at all! Someone bribed the doctor to misdiagnose him with a terminal disease and has him taking medicine for it every day. Even if he wasn't terminally ill, this would kill him!]

Among the grandchildren, Si Moyan shared the deepest bond with Old Master Si. Recognized for his potential from a young age, he left the Blood Eagle Special Forces for the sake of the family business and inherited Xiying Media, the Si Group's largest subsidiary.

Now, Xiying Media was one of the largest entertainment agencies in the country.

Earlier this year, the Old Master had also handed over a real estate company to him.

In another year or two, the entire Si Group would likely be passed to him by the Old Master.

Precisely because of this, every branch of the family wished for the Old Master's early demise.

Wen Yan didn't notice Si Moyan's increasingly grim expression; she continued digging for gossip in her system.

[Damn, the reason Si Moyan's father didn't gain control of the Si Group is because he slept with Old Master Si's youngest wife back in the day.]

[Father and son nearly cut ties. Father Si even pointed at Old Master Si's nose and said, 'A crooked stick will have a crooked shadow. Like father, like son!']

[Father Si wasn't wrong about that. I just wonder if Si Moyan will turn out like his grandfather and father, a master at toying with women's hearts?]

[I need to hurry up and accumulate 100 favorability points to stay away from this scumbag!]

[Oh, wait, there's no need to worry about Si Moyan. He's a short-lived ghost anyway. In a year, he'll lose everything, have his eyeballs dug out and kidneys harvested, end up severely depressed, and jump from the top floor of the Yecheng Hotel, splattering on the ground!]

Si Moyan's lips twitched.

Was she ever going to stop?

How many times in one night was she going to remind him he'd die a horrible death in a year?

She was just spouting nonsense, trying to scare him with exaggerated claims!

Si Moyan paid no more attention to Wen Yan. He pulled open the presidential suite door and left with a stern expression.

Wen Yan didn't bother with him. Feeling drowsy, her eyelids grew heavy. She lay down on the bed and soon fell asleep.

Si Moyan had his driver take him back to the Si Residence.

Located on the best hillside in Yecheng, the Si Residence comprised six villas, all inhabited by members of the Si family.

Si Moyan went to the main building and quietly entered Old Master Si's room.

He found the medicine Old Master Si was taking, took a photo, and sent it to a friend studying medicine abroad.

[Check this medication.]

After sending the message, Si Moyan returned to his own room.

Standing before the floor-to-ceiling window, he recalled everything that happened tonight, a throbbing pain at his temples.

Could that woman's words be trusted?

After all, they were her inner thoughts. Logically, she had no reason to make things up.

Could it be that he and his siblings were really just cannon fodder in some book?

...

Wen Yan slept straight through until noon the next day.

She stretched, got out of bed, and after washing up, glanced at her phone.

There were dozens of missed calls.

Some were from Gu Beichen, others from Si Moyan.

Both had also sent her messages.

Gu Beichen:

—Yanyan, Song Qingyu said the plan wasn't successful. Didn't you drug him?

—You promised you'd help me. I think of you as family. You won't let me down, right?

—Yanyan, why aren't you replying? I have a red carpet event to attend soon. I'll come see you right after.

Si Moyan:

—Come home.

Tsk.

Si Moyan's text message was just like him—cold and detached.

Wen Yan ignored Gu Beichen. She constantly remembered her mission to gain 100 favorability points from Si Moyan and immediately replied:

—Okay, dear hubby.

Ugh, she was about to make herself sick.

Wen Yan took a taxi back to the Si Residence.

When she entered the living room of the main building, she saw several people sitting on the sofa.

They were Old Master Si, Si Moyan, Si Moyan's second brother Si Jingyi and his girlfriend Song Fei'er, and Si Moyan's beloved youngest sister, Si Youyou.

As soon as Wen Yan walked in, Song Fei'er threw herself into Si Jingyi's arms, her eyes red, trembling all over as if terrified of Wen Yan.

Wen Yan raised an eyebrow.

[Oh ho, the white lotus is starting her act.]

Everyone in the living room except Si Moyan and Song Fei'er (who couldn't hear Wen Yan's thoughts) was startled.

Old Master Si glanced at Si Moyan, who signaled with his eyes not to say anything.

Noticing everyone looking at her strangely, Wen Yan touched her nose.

[Why are they looking at me like that? Could it be they've discovered the 'child' in Song Fei'er's belly isn't Si Jingyi's, but a pillow?]

Si Jingyi's face changed color.

He immediately looked down at Song Fei'er's slightly rounded abdomen.

A pillow inside?

What the hell?

He didn't believe it!

"Brother Yi, I was just swinging in the garden yesterday. I didn't offend my Sister-in-law at all, but she pushed me from behind. My stomach still hurts, I'm so afraid I might lose the baby."

Wen Yan curled her lip.

[Did the original Wen Yan push you for no reason? You were on the phone with your friend mocking her, saying a country bumpkin turned phoenix, always caked in makeup, an ugly girl causing trouble, not pregnant after half a year of marriage, calling her a barren hen. Tsk tsk, talking so nastily, who else would she push but you?]

[You, with a pillow for a belly, still have stomach pains and fear a miscarriage? Even if you miscarry with all your might, you'd only miscarry a pillow!]

[But according to the plot, that lovesick fool Si Jingyi will indeed take her to the hospital later, and coincidentally get into a car accident on the way. Song Fei'er will seize the chance to 'miscarry' and be told she's infertile.]

[The lovesick fool will be filled with guilt, using his status as the Second Young Master Si to shower her with resources and even create a celebrity couple (CP) with her, making her a top star. Little does he know, she's already been fooling around with his best buddy behind his back. They're all laughing at him, calling him a cuckold!]

[And that's not even the worst part. After the Si family goes bankrupt, the lovesick Second Young Master can't take the shock and becomes mentally disabled. Song Fei'er sleeps with his best friend right in front of him, makes him bark like a dog, and finally sells him to an African coal mine, where he's beaten to death!]

Damn!

Was his fate that tragic?

Si Jingyi was so furious he felt like his seven orifices were smoking and his internal organs were about to explode!
