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

Chapter 198 Who is Cruel?

Siyi hadn't expected that he had come to question her about Guan Fengru's whereabouts.

She felt a little bitter.

Although she knew it was impossible to make him believe her, and the two parted on bad terms that day, she still remembered that he wanted to strangle her, but she still felt sad when he actually asked her such a question in front of her.

She simply couldn't bear to look at the hatred in his eyes; it was too obvious, too raw, and there was no longer any warmth in them.

There was no longer any wickedness that would make her blush or her heart race. She lowered her eyes. "I don't know..."

Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Yan suddenly reached out, pinching her chin with her thumb and forefinger, and sneered, "Ye Siyi, why don't you dare to look at me? Do you really not know or are you pretending not to know? Do you really think I won't do anything to you, which is why you're so brazen in front of me?"

Is she being reckless?

He seems to be the one acting recklessly now...

She felt a surge of sadness in her heart, but she knew he must be even more heartbroken than she was.

The person who died was his mother. Although she had never met his mother, she always knew that Lin Qianzhi held a very important place in his heart. All the tenderness in Jiang Yanhui's heart came from his mother, but now that she was dead, half of his heart must have died as well...

The room fell into an eerie silence, and Jiang Yanhui and Siyi stood facing each other.

His breathing was a little rapid, but her breathing was exceptionally calm, and her bright black eyes were fixed on his.

She could see clearly that her own face was reflected deep in his pupils; she looked at her features imprinted in his clear black and white eyes.

Suddenly she smiled at him and finally spoke, breaking the eerie silence, "I really don't know, Jiang Yanhui. Whether you believe me or not, I say the same thing: I don't know."

Jiang Yan suddenly increased the pressure on her fingers, and Si Yi gasped in pain. However, she knew that he no longer cared about her. Even if she cried loudly, he wouldn't feel a thing. She felt terrible, but she stubbornly held back her tears and looked up at him with her chin raised.

Jiang Yan looked at her stubborn expression, and in his anger, he laughed coldly. He slapped her face away, then suddenly grabbed her pale neck with his fingers, forcing her against the wall. He braced one hand on her cheek and said, "Do you really think I'm a fool? That day at the airport, I saw her call you. Something had already happened when she called you. And you still dare to tell me you don't know anything?"

“I really don’t know.” Siyi took a deep breath and said slowly, “Jiang Yanhui, I know you don’t believe what I’m saying. You think everything I did was premeditated. I don’t want to explain because to you, my explanation now would be just a cover-up. But I really don’t know where my mother is now.”

What did she say when she called you that day?

Siyi glanced at him, suppressed the bitterness in her heart, shook her head, and calmly said, "She didn't say anything, Jiang Yanhui, don't ask me that. I know what you're thinking right now, and I really don't know how things turned out this way... I know that saying sorry can't make up for anything; sorry is the three most powerless words in the world. I don't want to tell you, because if I do, it means I know everything. To be honest, I still don't believe that my mother really orchestrated that. You're accusing her without any evidence, which is too unfair. But I know that saying these things will only make you angrier, so I won't say anything. But I really don't know anything. I don't have any information you want to know, and I have nothing to say to you. Can you please let me go?"

She couldn't bear Jiang Yanhui's coldness and aloofness. The tenderness he had once given her was too lingering and unforgettable. Now, every time she looked into his cold eyes, she felt unbearable pain. If she had to face Jiang Yanhui like this from now on, she would rather choose to ignore him. At least that way, she could preserve those brief but sweet memories between them.

Even if it's a poison that corrodes to the bone, she's willing to endure it alone for the rest of her life.

Moreover, she wasn't lying. Guan Fengru really didn't tell her anything about her background. Under such circumstances, she naturally wouldn't say much. As for that phone call at the airport, those two simple sentences were all she could say; it would only make things worse if she said more.

"Ye Siyi, do you think I'm an idiot!"

Jiang Yan Hui didn't believe her at all, staring at her intently. "Do you know how cruel you are? You're so calmly telling me you know nothing. Do you know what that means? You really are..." Jiang Yan Hui's voice was distorted. "Or was it all planned from the beginning? Ye Si Yi, let me tell you, I already knew your mother was deliberately getting close to my father with ulterior motives. I just hadn't figured out what she was after, but I didn't expect you to strike first. You two, mother and daughter, really hid it well! You conspired with your mother beforehand, didn't you? So that night you dragged me to sing some damn song, putting on a show of being sentimental in front of me, making me lower my guard, so you could trick me into eloping with you... Heh, eloping? I, Jiang Yan Hui, was truly blind. I actually... What do you call this? Being caught off guard? You sent me away just to make it easier for your mother to act, didn't you? You planned everything all along, didn't you? Huh?!"

Every word he uttered was filled with resentful anger, directly questioning her.

Siyi felt an unbearable pain in her heart, even just breathing.

He still didn't believe himself. His reasoning was perfectly reasonable. She was also someone who had stepped into a baseless trap. So, faced with his questioning, she was speechless. After a long while, she looked away and said wearily, "If that's what you think, then I have nothing more to say."

Looking at her calm demeanor, as if it were nothing to her, Jiang Yan felt a sharp pain in his heart.

Even he himself didn't know why he came here today.

These past two days he has been dealing with Lin Qianzhi's funeral arrangements. He knows that his grandfather has been searching all over the world for Guan Fengru, and he also knows that he shouldn't come to see her anymore.

But he couldn't help it. He almost strangled her to death that day. He clearly felt that she deserved it, but he felt terrible. He was almost driven crazy by this feeling. However, she didn't call him even once in two whole days.

Shouldn't she feel guilty?

Does she owe me an explanation? Shouldn't she say something to me? Even a lie would be fine, as long as she said she knew what happened but regretted it, I'd forgive her. But she couldn't even be bothered to give me a single lie.

What does it mean to say that "I'm sorry" is the most powerless three words in the world?

She was clearly making excuses; she just wouldn't admit her mistakes. She was deceiving herself while pretending to be high and mighty. She must be laughing at herself right now. Jiang Yanhui was such a proud man, yet he fell for her. He had his family killed and was now practically offering himself up for her to laugh at.

He fell so hard that he was filled with resentment and embarrassment, and couldn't even stand up.

Jiang Yan glared fiercely at Si Yi, wishing she could cut her heart out with a knife, for her every smile and frown was so innocent and lovely.

It was all fake, completely fake!

Siyi avoided looking into Jiang Yanhui's eyes. She could face Jiang Yanhui's anger, but she couldn't face his sadness and disappointment.

She knew that saying anything more to him now would be pointless.

Now she understands deeply that they can never be together.

He wouldn't believe himself. He had already used such harsh words to question her. In his mind, everything she had done was malicious, even now that she said she was pregnant.

I guess his first reaction would be to have an abortion.

Her heart trembled, yet she couldn't help but secretly mock herself. She knew from the beginning that it was a mistake, but she was unwilling to continue down the wrong path.

Now she has to endure this heart-wrenching pain.

Her only thought now is to protect the child in her womb.

So she suppressed all the pain and said coldly, "If you think I'm a shameless accomplice, then you can kill me or torture me as you please. I'm no match for you anyway. But if you're trying to get any clues out of me, I advise you to save your breath. I really don't know anything, so you don't need to waste your time on me. But there's no point in you continuing to waste your time on me like this."

She slowly raised her head, even admiring herself. She realized she could be so ruthless, her heart churning with pain, yet her words remained cold and indifferent. "I...what I said before was true. I really intended to leave City A. When I told you to leave with me, I meant it sincerely. But how can we insignificant humans be a match for God? Things have already changed drastically here. Now it's me leaving alone, not with you. Jiang Yan, honestly, there's no point in you holding me. Let me go."

Hearing her so casually say she wanted to leave, Jiang Yan Hui's heart clenched. She sneered, "Are you joking with me? Or do you really think I, Jiang Yan Hui, am someone you can just toy with? You want to leave? Fine! Then let's see if you have the guts!"
