He broke his vows for her, and a tycoon descended to earth for love.

Chapter 214 Retreat Again and Again

Siyi never dreamed that the story would turn out this way when it reached Guan Fengru.

She was completely at a loss, but suddenly found it hilarious.

It turns out that Jiang Yan hates herself for causing her mother's death.

Conversely, the truth is not like that at all.

Their roles seemed to have been reversed all of a sudden.

She smiled bitterly to herself, realizing that their roles had been reversed from the start.

Many years ago, her Jiang family even killed her biological mother.

But she never wanted to overcomplicate things. She just kept telling herself that it was all a long, long time ago. Jiang Yanhui might not even have been born then. Why should she put all that hatred on him?

But what about this matter?

He insisted that his mother was responsible for this, but little did he know that it was all a scheme orchestrated by Lin Qianzhi...

She slowly recovered from her shock, confusion, and disbelief, and then remembered something. She pulled Guan Fengru and said, "Mom, you are the only one who knows the truth. Why are you hiding here? You should tell your older brother the truth. You have been running away, which has only given Lin Zhenbiao a reason to arrest you."

Guan Fengru smiled contemptuously and said, "Do you think Lin Zhenbiao is a pushover? Do you think the law means anything to someone like him? Even when your father convicted him, he could still find someone to appeal and get himself acquitted. People like that are not easy to deal with. I escaped death back then, but I still remember what Lin Qianzhi said to me when she was on her deathbed. She said that Jiang Jizhen belonged to her alone, and no woman in the world could be her match. Any woman who tried to take her man would end up dying a horrible death. She wasn't afraid; she had a good father to help her..."

“I felt something was wrong right away. After I escaped, I kept thinking about Lin Qianzhi’s words. I knew that Lin Zhenbiao only had one precious daughter, and he would never let her die in vain. Since I didn’t die, I would definitely bear all the blame. Moreover, no matter how tough Jiang Jizhen was over the years, he couldn’t divorce Lin Qianzhi. All of this must be thanks to Lin Zhenbiao. I just don’t understand why he suddenly divorced Lin Qianzhi, and why things turned out like this.”

Perhaps because Siyi had experienced so much in the past few days, she was no longer flustered.

After hearing what Guan Fengru had said, she gradually calmed down.

She knew this matter was not simple, but she thought the first person she should contact was Ye Zhenghao...

Yes, brother!

She bit her lip, frantically pulling her phone out of her bag as she said to Guan Fengru, "Mom, it's not a good idea for you to stay here all the time. We can't let you take the blame for that incident. My brother will definitely have a solution. I'll call him first..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Guan Fengru's expression changed instantly. She pulled Siyi behind her and hid her. Siyi was busy pressing the phone button when Guan Fengru pulled her forcefully.

The phone fell to the ground with a clatter.

She instinctively reached down to pick it up, but then she heard Guan Fengru's panicked voice: "Siyi, run! Run!"

Siyi was completely stunned. She didn't even have time to pick up her phone. A sentence was stuck in her throat, but when she looked up, she couldn't say anything.

Because I saw a man who looked incredibly familiar.

Jiang Yan stepped out of the black Bentley and slammed the door shut.

It was already dusk, and he was completely hidden in the setting sun.

It looks sharper and more ruthless, with hard lines all over its body.

It has no softness whatsoever.

He walked towards her, step by step, with a murderous intent that seemed determined to kill her.

Siyi felt inexplicably uneasy watching this and instinctively wanted to run away.

She didn't know how he got here; he wasn't...

Didn't they go to see Minami Aoki?

How come he is here?

Siyi's mind was in complete chaos, and she couldn't make sense of anything. Especially when she saw him walking towards her with such a resolute attitude, she couldn't help but back away step by step. But there was a low wall behind her, so where could she go?

Guan Fengru was the first to react, standing in front of Siyi with a resolute expression. "Jiang Yanhui, if you have any problems, come at me. This has nothing to do with Siyi, so don't make things difficult for her."

He grabbed Siyi again and pushed her away, saying, "Siyi, you should go now, go find your older brother, hurry up!"

Jiang Yan didn't even want to look at Guan Fengru, and suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Siyi, and pulled her into her arms.

He held her waist with one hand and pinched her chin hard with the other, tilting her head back to force her to look him in the eye. His face was expressionless, yet it inexplicably made her feel even more chilling.

“If I’m not mistaken, it’s only been half an hour since you swore to me, but you turned around and came to see your mother, secretly, behind my back. You said you never lied to me, that you really didn’t know anything about that, but what about now? Huh? Ye Siyi, do you really think I, Jiang Yan Hui, am a fool? Huh? Tell me then!”

A surge of anger welled up inside her, forcing Jiang Yan to tighten her grip on her chin even more, and her expression finally turned fierce.

"Ye Siyi, tell me, wasn't all of this planned in advance? Wasn't it part of the plan for you to climb into my bed? You deliberately played that game of cat and mouse with me, making me fall into your trap. You woman, how can you be so...hypocritical?"

Those last two words were like an incredibly sharp knife.

It instantly struck the softest spot in Siyi's heart.

How many things has he said to her that she can't accept since that incident?

How many things did he do that she couldn't bear?

But she didn't refute any of them.

She simply endured it because she could understand his pain; no one can remain completely calm when they lose a loved one.

But now, he's actually calling himself a hypocrite...

He is now questioning himself, wondering if everything he did back then was premeditated. It turns out that in his heart, those beautiful memories she once desperately tried to protect are now hidden away.

However, it was precisely because of her meticulous planning that...

Siyi felt like countless ice shards were churning inside her, making her feel as if her internal organs were frozen. Slowly, she smiled.

But that laughter was even more chilling than the expression on Jiang Yan Hui's face. "You followed me? Jiang Yan Hui, you've never trusted me from beginning to end, have you? You deliberately brought me out today, deliberately dropped me off at the hospital and left. Why don't you say that all of this was your plan?"

Jiang Yan grabbed Bai Xi's neck and said viciously, "Yes! I followed you, but how the hell would I know how many things you're hiding from me if I didn't follow you? You clearly knew where this woman was, yet you still had the nerve to swear to me, Ye Siyi, where's your heart? Has your heart been eaten by a dog?"

Why is she still looking at me with such a fearless expression even at this point?

Doesn't she realize how excessive what she did was?

Who gave her the courage to be so confident at a time like this?

"Yes, my heart has truly been eaten by dogs."

Siyi smiled softly, her eyes lowered, and her cold voice betrayed her despair, "Since you've never believed me from the beginning, why bother testing me so aggressively? Don't you get tired?"

Jiang Yan's face was ashen. He stood with his back to the setting sun, his sinister face buried in a large shadow.

Siyi could only feel the cracking sound of his knuckles clenching tightly, a sign of his extreme anger.

He lowered his head and kissed the corner of her lips, his voice unusually calm: "I'll ask you one last time, was all of this planned from the very beginning?"

Siyi tilted her head back, her big, dark eyes staring straight at Jiang Yanhui.

Although his eyes appeared calm, beneath that calm lay a raging storm.

He repeatedly asked me to make promises to him.

It's just that they don't believe it. If they believed it, why would they need their own guarantee?

But she knew that her previous promise to him, followed by her immediate visit to her mother, had resulted in her being caught red-handed by him, leaving her speechless.

She bit her lip, her heart churning, yet she still saw the deepest layer in his eyes—the pain he had hidden. But she still saw it.

She suddenly felt that this man was actually pitiful.

Perhaps he didn't believe in himself, but he kept fighting.

That feeling is something no one can truly understand, but it must be incredibly painful.

She suppressed the urge to sigh.

In the end, she chose to take a step back. If a matter could be resolved perfectly, she didn't want to cause pain for both of them. If she had to be the one to back down, she had already taken countless steps back, so she didn't care about taking this last one.

“Jiang Yan, I didn’t plan anything. What happened today was my fault. I came to see my mother without telling you, but I only just found out she was here. You’re now insisting that she orchestrated everything, but I don’t believe it. This is my mother. Can you understand how I feel? I also want to find out the truth, and I already know that it wasn’t what you think. Actually, your mother’s death had nothing to do with my mother. It was all her own doing…”

"Arrest that woman wearing a mask!"

Before Siyi could finish speaking, a loud and clear shout suddenly came from not far away. Lin Zhenbiao, leaning on his cane, walked towards them.

Behind him followed a large group of dozens of tall men dressed in black, all of them looking fierce as they rushed towards Guan Fengru.

Upon seeing this, Guan Fengru was naturally terrified and turned pale. She instinctively tried to escape, but Siyi cried out in panic, "No, don't grab my mom! Mom, run!"
