Jiang Sui's question made Si Nian silent for a long time.

Jiang Sui retracted his gaze and turned to look at him. He couldn't help but ask again, "Is this why you always chase me away?"

Si Nian pursed his lips and finally responded, "Yes, and no..."

He told Jiang Sui that those people were Si Yue's uncle Yue Chen's men, and they were specifically responsible for doing some not-so-righteous things for the nephew and uncle.

The Yue family was originally from a nouveau riche family. Although they had some money, they were always looked down upon by the upper class.

At that time, the older generation of the Yue family took a fancy to Mr. Si’s identity as a Hong Kong businessman returning to the mainland to invest and become an entrepreneur, and they had been running errands for him.

What kind of person was the old man of the Si family at that time? How could he not see what the Yue family was thinking?

Therefore, the Yue family followed Mr. Si and ran errands for nearly ten years, but they were unable to successfully enter the upper class circle.

Finally, the Yue family had no choice but to find a way to send their daughter to the bed of the second son of the Si family, who was Si Nian's second uncle.

The Yue family's daughter soon became pregnant. When the hospital checked, it was found that she was not only pregnant with twins, but also a boy and a girl.

At that time, Si Nian's father left home in anger because the old man opposed him and Si Nian's mother being together.

Seeing that the Si family had few members, Mr. Si reluctantly agreed to let his youngest son marry the daughter of the Yue family.

But he looked down on the Yue family from the bottom of his heart, and even more so on his second daughter-in-law who behaved like a petty bourgeoisie. He even didn't think much of the twin boy and girl she gave birth to.

But considering his young son's sake, his attitude was acceptable.

Later, Uncle Sinian died of illness due to working day and night, and the old man disliked the three of them even more.

Later, Si Nian's parents both died in an accident abroad. The old man realized that he still had an eldest grandson from the eldest house, so he used all means to bring Si Nian back.

After Si Nian returned to the Si family, he won the favor of old man Si because of his outstanding talents. Old man Si placed all his hopes on Si Nian, wanting him to inherit his mantle.

This caused the second wife and her son, as well as the Yue family, to bear a grudge against him from the beginning, and they opposed and framed him everywhere.

Except for Si Mu, everyone in the second house wanted to eat him at that time, but with Old Man Si protecting them, they couldn't do anything big.

Later, after Si Nian left the Si family for some reasons, Si Yue and his uncle Yue Chen would do this and send people to harass him from time to time, with the purpose of reminding Si Nian not to think about returning to the Si family.

If Si Nian gets into trouble with them this time, they will only become more aggressive in the future.

As for why Si Nian left the Si family, he just mentioned it lightly, obviously not wanting Jiang Sui to know, so Jiang Sui did not ask any more questions.

But when Jiang Sui heard Si Nian simply talk about his experiences over the years since he returned to the Si family, he felt terrified.

She could not fully understand the feeling of being a family, blood thicker than water, yet fighting openly and secretly to the point of bloodshed.

Now she just feels sorry for the past ten years that Si Nian has spent.

Although what Si Nian told him at this moment might be just the tip of the iceberg of his life in the past ten years, it was enough to shock Jiang Sui for a while.

She didn't dare to imagine, would Si Nian always live like this in the future?

Living under the surveillance and control of Si Yue and his uncle, he cannot see the light of day.

"If you hadn't left with that Maybach that year, maybe you wouldn't have experienced all this, right?"

Jiang Sui spoke slowly in a depressed mood.

She always thought that if he hadn't left, everything would be different.

He may have achieved his dream, and I am on the way to following in his footsteps.

But there are no ifs in the real world.

Hearing Jiang Sui's words, Si Nian shook his head in amusement.

"Do you think I want to leave? It was impossible for me not to leave at that time. As an old man who has been in the business world for decades, he has used all kinds of tricks. If he used even a little bit of it on ordinary people like us, we would not be able to bear it."

Jiang Sui seemed to understand Si Nian's words, but also seemed not to understand.

She was about to ask Si Nian something else when he moved his body and suddenly covered his chest and gasped in pain.

"What's wrong? Let me see!"

Jiang Sui nervously reached out to lift Si Nian's shirt, but was grabbed by Si Nian's big hand.

"Don't move!" Si Nianyang panted and continued, "Give me the medicine and get out. I'll take care of the rest myself. It's inconvenient for you!"

Jiang Sui looked over Si Nian's body and said stubbornly, "I won't! How can you do it yourself? At least let me check your upper body and apply medicine."

As she said that, Jiang Sui tried to lift Si Nian's shirt again, but Si Nian still refused and stretched out his hand to stop her.

As the two were arguing, a voice with some laughter suddenly came from the door.

"Oh, I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything! Hey, Jiu, did I come at the wrong time?"

Jiang Sui looked up and saw Wu Chunhao standing at the door with his back to them. She immediately withdrew her hand from Si Nian's clothes.

Si Nian coughed and said calmly, "No, you came at the right time. Come and help me apply the medicine."

When Wu Chunhao heard Si Nian calling him, he turned around and said with an ambiguous smile, "Isn't there someone here? Why are you calling me?"

Si Nian rolled his eyes at him in annoyance, "Stop talking nonsense!"

Then he looked at Jiang Sui with a gentle expression again, and said to her in a low voice, "Would you please go out and wait for a while?"

Jiang Sui didn't insist this time. He nodded, left the room and closed the door.

"What's wrong with you today? Aren't you usually very tolerant? You can't catch their fatal point. Breaking up with them in advance will only make them watch you more closely."

Wu Chunhao picked up the medicine that Jiang Sui had placed on the bedside table to treat bruises and sprains, and looked down at Si Nian.

Si Nian frowned and endured the pain to take off his shirt, revealing his fair and firm chest.

"You need me to tell you, how could I not know? You also said that it was normal. If I put up with it, would I still be a human being if those beasts set their sights on this girl?"

Si Nian turned over and lay on the bed.

According to the instructions, Wu Chunhao poured the medicine on his hands and rubbed the injured area on Si Nian's back.

"Yes, this girl is your Achilles' heel!"

"But fortunately, I only received this beating. I also explained what I said. Yue Quan should have told Si Yue and his uncle what I said. Even if they investigate Jiang Sui, they will think twice and will not easily take action against her."

"Hiss...be gentle!"

Maybe Wu Chunhao's hand was a little too heavy, Si Nian frowned and cried out in pain.

Wu Chunhao snorted, "You feel pain in front of me? I'm afraid you don't know how to bear it in front of that girl?"

Si Nian said nothing.

Wu Chunhao remembered something and asked him, "By the way, how did you explain today's incident to the girl? I don't believe that she would let you go so calmly without you telling her something."

"Tell the truth." Si Nian replied in a flat tone.

Wu Chunhao paused, and asked in surprise, "What? You said everything?"

Si Nian turned over again and gave Wu Chunhao a cold look, looking at him like an idiot.

"Of course I choose to talk about what I can."

Si Nian lowered his eyes and remained silent.

How could he reveal his shameful past to her?

He hoped she would never know, never have to know.

If he could wash off the mud on himself, he would stand by her side with justice.

If it is impossible in this life, then he would rather she forget him and let her go to the vast sky and sea.

Seeing that Si Nian's brows were getting more and more furrowed, Wu Chunhao wanted to ease his depressed mood.

He poured some more potion on his hands, and when Si Nian wasn't paying attention, he grabbed him by the chest.

"Tsk tsk! Even a man like me is drooling when seeing it. No wonder you refused to take off your clothes for that girl to see. Tsk tsk tsk tsk..."

"Get lost!" Si Nian pushed Wu Chunhao away and protected himself, "You pervert!"

As he spoke, he saw Wu Chunhao's smirk and couldn't help laughing himself.

After a long time, he stopped laughing and became serious again.

"Give it to me!" Si Nian stretched out his hand towards Wu Chunhao.

"What?" Wu Chunhao was puzzled.

Si Nian was helpless, "Give me the potion, I'll do it myself. Go send Sui Sui back to school and tell her to stay in school for the next few days."

"Tsk!" Wu Chunhao threw the potion to Si Nian, "Do you think I want to take advantage of you? I'm disgusted! Isn't it just to tease you because you're in a low mood?"

Wu Chunhao came out of Si Nian's room and didn't see Jiang Sui on the second floor, so he had to go downstairs.

At this moment, Jiang Sui was on the first floor tidying up the workbench and stainless steel shelves that had been messed up by those people during the day.

She just came out of the room and didn't stay on the second floor for long. She was a little absent-minded and went downstairs unknowingly.

Looking at the scene downstairs which was slightly messy compared to usual, she couldn't help but think of the disgusting faces of those people during the day.

Si Nian might experience such a scene once in a while. If he hadn't suddenly appeared today, he would probably have waited for those people to vent their anger in front of him and then quietly cleaned himself up.

Thinking of this, Jiang Sui felt uncomfortable again.

Jiang Sui didn't know when he changed.

She used to be sunny, optimistic and cheerful.

Now she is sentimental and often a little thing can affect her mood.

Especially in the past few months when I met Si Nian again, I shed more tears than in the previous year combined.

Perhaps it was because the independence she had slowly learned after her mother and grandmother passed away all broke down after they were reunited these years later.

She regarded Si Nian as her last safe haven, where she could cry or laugh without restraint.

But who is Si Nian’s safe haven that allows him to be so unscrupulous?

Hearing the sound of the iron stairs upstairs again, Jiang Sui quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Sister Sui Sui?"

Wu Chunhao started calling Jiang Sui before he even reached the first floor.

Jiang Sui placed the last tool on the stainless steel rack, turned around and stood at the stairs waiting for Wu Chunhao.

"Brother Mouse."

When he saw him, Jiang Sui called him obediently.

Wu Chunhao walked up to Jiang Sui, lowered his head and stared at Jiang Sui's face for a long time, and asked in surprise, "Are you crying?"

Jiang Sui turned sideways, wiped his eyes again, and said stubbornly, "No!"

Wu Chunhao sighed and consoled Jiang Sui, "You don't have to worry too much about your brother. He has a good physique, so the blows he received are nothing. It's OK as long as you haven't been bullied."

When he said this, Jiang Sui's tears flowed even harder.

She said in a trembling voice, "I never knew that his life in a wealthy family was so difficult. I once blamed him in my heart for many trivial reasons."

Wu Chunhao didn't know how to comfort Jiang Sui now. After holding it in for a long time, he just said, "Hey, sister, stop crying and take a break, okay? Don't let your brother hear it again and think that I made you cry, then I will be blamed!"

Jiang Sui was amused by him.

She was glad that Si Nian had a loyal classmate and friend like Wu Chunhao by his side, adding a bit of fun to his originally dull life.

Seeing Jiang Sui slowly stop crying, Wu Chunhao also remembered the task that Si Nian had given him.

"Let's go!" Wu Chunhao made a gesture to walk out of the counter.

Jiang Sui was a little confused by him, and stood there and asked him, "Where are you going?"

"Your brother, isn't he injured and inconvenient? Let me take you back to school safely."

"I won't go back!" Jiang Sui heard it and quickly took a step back.

Wu Chunhao hissed and said, "Hey, you are quite stubborn, kid!"

"Tomorrow is the weekend, and I don't have to go to school. Besides, my brother is injured, and it's inconvenient for him to live alone, so I have to stay and take care of him."

Jiang Sui's words were sincere and his reasons were sufficient.

Wu Chunhao paused and said, "Don't worry about that. I'll come back after I send you off. I'll stay here tonight."

Jiang Sui seemed unable to refute Wu Chunhao's statement, but she just didn't want to leave today.

"It's not convenient for you!" Jiang Sui blurted out without thinking.

Wu Chunhao was stunned for a moment, then started laughing.

"Hey, girl! Who do you think will be more inconvenient to keep him?"

Jiang Sui felt a little embarrassed by what he said, so he stopped talking, but he was unwilling to leave obediently.

Wu Chunhao couldn't do anything with her, so he had to sit down on the chair where Si Nian usually worked.

"Okay, then go up and ask your brother if he lets you stay. I'll sit here and wait for you."
