Everyone focused their gaze on Qin Si Ye, wondering what he had to say.
"Five years ago, the matter of me being drugged was finally investigated a few days ago, and it was Su Cheng Yu who hired someone to do it. Knowing I have mysophobia and am not close to women, he still dealt me such a cruel blow. What was his intention?" Qin Si Ye stared coldly at Su Cheng Yu. Su Cheng Yu's heart trembled. Impossible, he had been very cautious back then; there was no way Qin Si Ye could have found out.
"Cousin, you mustn't slander me. How could I do such a thing?" Su Cheng Yu's eyes flickered, and he bit his lip, refusing to admit it.
Qin Si Ye stood up straight and looked down at him, "Am I slandering you, or is your conscience guilty? You should know better than anyone. That woman named Aili returned to the country a few days ago, and she told us everything. Don't worry, if you still don't admit it, I'll make you a believer."
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhi Lan flew into a rage, brandishing her cane and striking the ground. "What a disaster, what is all this? The family is not like family, but has become enemies 'slaughtering' each other. Xue Lan, what do you have to say for yourself? This is the good son you raised."
"I..." Qin Xue Lan was once again speechless. At this moment, with truth and falsehood intertwined, she didn't know what to say.
"Later, Lu Yu Shan barged into my room, and things happened that shouldn't have happened." Qin Si Ye continued, turning to look at Lu Yu Shan. "Listen carefully, although you saved me, I will only compensate you financially. I will never marry you. From now on, do not step foot in the Qin family's residence again."
Lu Yu Shan was stunned. Was he publicly announcing her "death sentence"? No, she had endured for him for five years, and she would not let go just like that.
"Si Ye, how can you say such heartless words? Don't forget, you already proposed to our family, and we are currently engaged. Besides, if I hadn't saved you, you might have..." Before she could finish, she met Qin Si Ye's piercing, cold gaze. He strode towards her, and Lu Yu Shan's voice abruptly ceased.
"Might have what? Died? Lu Yu Shan, how did you just happen to barge into my room? Don't think I know nothing. Your private life is chaotic, and your relationship with Su Cheng Yu is ambiguous. I even suspect now that you conspired with him and did this intentionally."
Lu Yu Shan trembled slightly and backed away repeatedly, "No, impossible, I... I don't know him at all."
"Is that so? You don't know him, yet why were you eating in the same room last night? Also, last weekend, inside the emergency exit of Phantom Bar, I personally saw you walking out one after the other, suspiciously. What were you doing?" Qin Si Ye looked at her with disgust. If it weren't for wanting to get rid of her quickly, he wouldn't have even glanced at such a woman.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yu Shan was so shocked that she lost her footing and fell to the ground. She crawled towards Qin Si Ye, her voice choked with sobs, "It's not what you saw, Si Ye, listen to me. My interactions with Su Cheng Yu are because of business matters."
Ignoring her pleas, Qin Si Ye turned and walked a few steps in another direction. Seeing this, Shen Xi felt a surge of satisfaction. She really wanted to expose their relationship publicly, but her reason told her she couldn't. Because at this moment, she couldn't reveal herself yet.
Just then, Jiang Jie, for some inexplicable reason, stepped forward to speak for Lu Yu Shan. "Si Ye, perhaps they really were just business dealings. Yu Shan likes you so much, how could she do anything unfaithful to you? Cheng Yu, don't you agree?" Before Su Cheng Yu could even speak, Qin Si Ye sharply rebuked her, "Shut up! Who are you? When did it become your turn to dictate the Qin family's affairs!"
