Qin Yirou watched Ge Junjian take Yun Zhu back to his room in a daze before shifting her gaze back to Yun Jian and Si Yi. Looking at them, she parted her lips and finally came out with “Come out with me!”
Her tone was incredibly stern when she said that. It made Yun Jian’s eye twitch as she had never heard Qin Yirou talk to anyone in such a tone. After all, Qin Yirou had always appeared soft and delicate—it was not that she could only be soft and delicate but Yun Jian was just taken aback when she was so stern all of a sudden.
Nonetheless, Yun Jian followed her out. Si Yi’s tall form went after Yun Jian, silent as well in the face of Qin Yirou. If Qin Yirou were not Yun Jian’s mother, however, he would not have followed suit as obediently.
He was the young master of Depot Leng and the head of An Hun Group. Either identity was enough to shake the world. Yet, he listened to Qin Yirou and went downstairs docilely today.
“Both of you, here, stand here!” Qin Yirou frowned a rare trepidation on her face.
Yun Jian could not help gulping.
“Yi, Xiao Jian’s my daughter. She’s a good girl. I’ve always thought that you’re a virtuous child but you… you’ve disappointed me!” Qin Yirou chided Si Yi with an unsettled scowl.
To Qin Yirou, both her daughter and her son were her life and blood. She could exchange her life for theirs. When she heard what Yun Zhu said just now, she swiftly interpreted it as Si Yi forcing himself on Yun Jian, hence her grave tone towards him.
“Aunty, I…” Si Yi started but he was interrupted by Qin Yirou—other than Yun Jian, Qin Yirou who the girl cared about was probably the only other person who dared cut Si Yi off. Qin Yirou had no idea that she would not even have the place to be here and berate Si Yi if she was not Yun Jian’s mother.
Hence, the young master of Depot Leng, the head of An Hun Group, Si Yi, now stood before Qin Yirou accepting her chiding as an elder meekly.
“Hold it!” Qin Yirou snapped and continued to say, “I’m very fond of you but how could you… how could you do that to Xiao Jian? What if… what if you impregnate her? What should she do? Xiao Jian’s just a young girl!”
Qin Yirou’s tears were threatening to fall. She tugged Yun Jian’s hand, her misunderstanding deepening. “Xiao Jian, let’s go. We leave today. We can’t stay here any longer. I’ll take you away!”
Qing Yirou thought that Si Yi had already taken Yun Jian’s innocence. As she spoke, she tried to pull Yun Jian upstairs.
Regret was drowning Qin Yirou. She had always thought Si Yi to be a nice kid, not expecting him to do something like that. Her Xiao Jian… Why did this happen!
Immediately, Qin Yirou lamented about living under someone’s roof. She resent herself, beating herself up for ever thinking of coming here back then and sending her daughter right into the wolf’s den!
Once she thought about how it was probably not the first time Si Yi had done something unforgivable like this to her Xiao Jian, Qin Yirou felt choked with fury. She should have kept Yun Jian by her side at all times!
