Tan Si’s heart was filled with resentment. She did not care about anything else and wanted Jiang An to suffer.
Moreover, since she could get Si Cheng to be with her once, she could definitely do it a second time. She would one-up Jiang An when that happened.
The Si family’s matters would not be known by the Internet, and her manager did not know what had happened at the Jiang family’s banquet. Therefore, Tan Si thought that the Si family was the old Si family.
Little did she know that the Si family was already in a mess. Zou Bai was fast and ruthless. Almost all of their business had stopped. Even the bank had started to come knocking on their door to urge them to pay their debt. If they couldn’t pay it, they would have to use the villa’s car to pay.
People like them all had debts, and the company had to be in debt. Otherwise, it would not be able to continue operating. As long as there was a sign of a collapse, it would be over.
Zheng Wen cried at home every day because of this matter. She wanted to go back to her mother’s house to ask for help, but she couldn’t even enter. The Zheng family knew that they had provoked Zou Bai and it was too late to draw the line. How could they let her enter?
Seeing that the Si family was in a precarious situation, Si Ming couldn’t care less about true love. He quickly went home to discuss countermeasures. Even Si Qin and Si Lin followed him back.
Everyone sat together and thought about how to resolve this matter. After all, they were all members of the Si family. It would be useless if the Si family didn’t fight.
Although Zheng Wen hated these two illegitimate children, she could only endure it for the sake of the family business. She actually existed peacefully in the same space as them.
“In the end, this matter is your mother’s fault. If it weren’t for your wishful thinking, these things wouldn’t have happened,” Si Ming accused.
In his opinion, Bai Ting was already very good. It was them who were unsatisfied and insisted on trying to marry the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. They even wanted to use rumors to force her to submit. Naturally, the Jiang family would become furious. In addition, they were on good terms with the Zou family, which was why today’s disaster happened.
“Stop spouting nonsense. Jiang An was Si Cheng’s wife to begin with. What’s wrong with reconciling the two of them for the sake of the children?” Zheng Wen couldn’t stand such words and retorted.
Si Ming slammed the table angrily. “What’s Jiang An’s status now? She’s the future heiress of the Jiang family. If Si Cheng wants to remarry, he should take a look at himself first and see if he’s worthy.”
Although Si Qin and Si Lin didn’t say anything, they agreed with this sentence from the bottom of their hearts. They had never seen the old Tan Ming, but Jiang An was really magnificent at the banquet. Based off her aura alone, they didn’t dare to approach her.
Si Cheng had cheated before. It was simply a pipe dream for him to remarry now.
“The Jiang family didn’t make a move, but the Zou family wants us to go bankrupt.” Si Cheng’s face was dark. “Zou Bai wants me to lose everything.”
Si Ming felt a little confused. “How did you offend Zou Bai?”
Of course, he had offended him from the beginning. Even the children belonged to him. Si Cheng’s heart was so twisted it was becoming disturbing, but he did not dare to say anything no matter what.
Now, he was only letting the Si family go bankrupt. If he spread this matter around, Zou Bai would definitely take his life.
Seeing that Si Cheng didn’t speak for a long time, Si Ming panicked. “What exactly is the reason? Can you redeem this matter by apologizing now?”
Si Ming didn’t care what would happen to Si Cheng at all. It didn’t matter even if Zou Bai killed him. As long as nothing happened to the Si family, he could continue to enjoy himself. After all, he wasn’t the only son.
“This matter can’t be resolved with an apology at all. It’s best to go bankrupt quietly now, lest Zou Bai wants all of us to die,” Si Cheng said coldly.
He was no longer flustered. Instead, he had an unprecedented calmness. He had the calmness of a man who had accepted his fate.
No matter what, he could not go against the Zou Family. If he tried to do anything again, he would definitely be retaliated against. At that time, he might even lose his life. Then, he would really lose everything.
He was filled with unprecedented regret. He shouldn’t have harassed Jiang An.
“What do you mean by quietly going bankrupt? Why is what you did affecting us?” Si Lin couldn’t help but stand up and say.
She was still hoping that her brother would become the heir and she would help her brother in the corporation. Her family would live a better life, but everything would be over once Si Cheng’s matter was exposed.
Although Zheng Wen was also anxious, she couldn’t stand seeing Si Lin scold her son. She stood up and argued with her. The two of them were arguing so much that Si Qin and Si Ming couldn’t interrupt even if they wanted to.
Si Cheng sat on the sofa, unmoving like a mountain. Anyway, things couldn’t get any worse now that things had come to this.
What he did not expect was that there would indeed be worse things. Zou Bai was not a kind person to begin with. He was already merciful enough not to kill anyone. If not for Jiang An, Si Cheng would not have been able to leave the Jiang family that day..
