Chapter 887: The Scapegoat Si Lisao Is Furious (Part 2)
Si Lisao replied to her with three words: "Love-struck fool."
Si Mingjing shot back directly: "Yinhe has put aside a mountain of work in Atlantis to accommodate me, accompanying me to live on Mu Continent, handling affairs remotely every day, always lowering his stance to support me and elevate me, even providing manpower and resources to help my brother establish a space base. If he’s made such a huge sacrifice and I still allow Qu Liushang to publicly slap his face on social media, making him lose all his dignity, then I would rather be a love-struck fool!"
After posting this, Si Mingjing directly blacklisted Si Lisao on her social media!
She was really angry and didn’t want Si Lisao to stab her and Mo Yinhe in the back for national interest.
She felt that the Demon King had done so much for her, and if she allowed another man to slap her husband’s face on social media, then she’d have lived in vain!
If being the Queen means she and her husband have to endure grievances, then she’d rather not be the Queen!
Si Lisao added another comment, but as soon as it was posted, he saw the system notification: "Si Mingjing has enabled friend verification, you are not yet in their friend list. Please send a friend verification request and once approved, you can chat."
Seeing this system message, Si Lisao rubbed his forehead, thinking, is she that angry?
He sent a friend request again, but the approval took a long time to arrive.
As Si Lisao was reflecting, the office door was suddenly pushed open forcefully by Ye Siyuan from outside.
With a loud "bang."
The chief of staff, Xiao Changsheng, who tried to stop Ye Siyuan, explained while obstructing her: "Your Excellency, the Princess Consort is furious, I couldn’t stop her..."
Si Lisao waved his hand, signaling Xiao Changsheng to back off.
Xiao Changsheng bowed and retreated, kindly closing the door behind him, and stood outside listening intently.
Ye Siyuan was furious because Qu Liushang publicly slapped her brother’s face on social media!
All the way here, the more she thought about it, the more wronged she felt, wondering if she had married the wrong person!
If it weren’t for Si Lisao agreeing to cooperate with Qu Liushang, Qu Liushang wouldn’t have had the chance to embarrass her brother on social media!
Ye Siyuan took off the silver ring from her ring finger and slammed it on the desk, throwing harsh words at Si Lisao: "Take it back! I don’t want it! I’m going back to Yecheng today!"
With that, she cried and turned to leave.
She thought that getting married meant being a family; she didn’t expect her husband to stab her brother in the back. Had Si Lisao forgotten how Qu Liushang disrupted their wedding by abducting Xiaobai and Jingzhe?
She still couldn’t swallow this anger, yet Qu Liushang could, and even cooperate with him!
Just a few steps away, a hand suddenly appeared behind her and grabbed her wrist.
With a slight force, he pulled her back.
Ye Siyuan’s body crashed into Si Lisao’s embrace, and she shook his hand off forcefully, growling, "Let go of me! Don’t touch me! Now I understand that to you, my brother and I are not family at all. You would sell us out for some benefits, making me and my brother a laughingstock!"
Si Lisao’s strong arms held her fragile and aggrieved body, not giving her a chance to break free.
"Listen to me," Si Lisao said, "About this matter..."
Ye Siyuan wouldn’t listen, covering her ears with her hands, saying, "I don’t want to hear it! Qu Liushang disrupted my wedding; I thought he was our common enemy, but you want to cooperate with him. You never cared about me!"
Si Lisao’s brows furrowed, thinking what nonsense she was spewing; when did he ever not care about her?
Si Lisao didn’t want her to misunderstand, nor did he want to explain endlessly as if in a drama, so he pried her hands apart and directly stated, "I consulted your brother before deciding on the cooperation, and he agreed."
"Impossible! How could my brother agree?" Ye Siyuan didn’t believe it.
Si Lisao raised an eyebrow, "You can call your brother and ask."
"Don’t try to deceive me! I’ll call my brother right now!"
Ye Siyuan called Mo Yinhe, her voice tearful and full of grievance, "Brother."
Mo Yinhe’s breath tightened, "What’s going on? Why are you crying?"
Ye Siyuan wiped her eyes and asked, "I’m not crying, I just wanted to ask you, did you know about the cooperation deal between Lisao and Qu Liushang beforehand or not?"
Mo Yinhe pondered briefly, asking, "Had a fight with Si Lisao?"
"He’s gone too far! Qu Liushang disrupted my wedding! Whoever disrupts my wedding is my enemy for life! He actually signed a deal with my enemy and allowed my enemy to publicly slap your face on social media!"
Mo Yinhe felt a warmth in his heart, saying, "Alright, it’s not a big deal. Have some backbone."
"I said I’m not crying!"
Ye Siyuan stubbornly denied, but tears kept falling regardless of her attempts to wipe them away.
Si Lisao watched, heart aching, wanting to wipe her tears, but Ye Siyuan wouldn’t let him. Si Lisao helplessly urged Mo Yinhe, "Cut the chatter and explain already!"
Because of this mess, his little sister blacklisted him on social media, and his newlywed wife was threatening to go back to her parents’ home.
Si Lisao felt framed as the scapegoat!
Ye Siyuan became angrier, saying, "You’re even yelling at my brother!"
Si Lisao pressed his forehead, helpless, raising his hands in surrender, softening his tone, pleading with Mo Yinhe not to make things difficult for him, "Please explain properly to Siyuan, wasn’t this your agreement?"
Just then, Mo Yinhe hung up the phone.
Si Lisao: "......"
After hanging up, Mo Yinhe went to the office hall in the Royal Palace’s front courtyard.
On the first floor of the office hall, he ran into Ye Siyuan who was about to leave angrily, and Si Lisao who had chased after her.
"Brother~~" Ye Siyuan rushed over to Mo Yinhe.
Si Lisao followed behind, suppressing his anger, deeply enunciating Mo Yinhe’s name: "Mo! Yin! He!"
"Why are you yelling? Can’t you see my sister is crying, and you dare to yell at me?"
With a hint of amusement in his voice, Mo Yinhe took a tissue out of his pocket and wiped away his sister’s tears, soothing her, "Alright, my sister, the mighty Mo Yinhe’s sister, shedding tears in public, have some backbone."
Facing Si Lisao’s cold and angry face, Mo Yinhe leisurely explained, "I knew about this; he discussed it with me. I found it profitable, so I agreed. It’s not a big deal, don’t cry."
"Ah?" Ye Siyuan’s grievance was caught in her throat, neither up nor down, and she got even angrier, also mad at Mo Yinhe, "Qu Liushang harbored ill intentions towards my sister-in-law, abducted Xiaobai and Jingzhe during the wedding, showing off his newly developed technology, and you agreed to let Lisao cooperate with him?!"
"In the bustling world, everyone seeks gain; in the hustling world, everyone seeks profit. Since there is profit to be made, why not agree? Just some national childcare technology, it’s nothing significant. Use it in exchange for greater benefits, only a fool would disagree."
Mo Yinhe and Si Lisao are cut from the same cloth; in the face of interest, everything is negotiable.
He explained to his sister, "Didn’t we pressure Qu Gaoyang into signing a tax-exempt contract two years ago? However, the old king of Gendaya has been blocking the condition for third-party market cooperation, limiting our country’s and Mu Continent’s enterprises from deepening cooperation in Gendaya. Now Qu Liushang is willing to sign a third-party market cooperation agreement, allowing our two countries’ enterprises to freely engage in projects and earn money in Gendaya. This is beneficial to the nation and the people; why go against money? I have no reason to oppose it."
