Chapter 111: Chapter 111: Being a White Lotus Isn’t Bad Either

UGH—

After taking a sip of lemon water, Jian Xi couldn’t help but dry-heave.

Si Yuhuan immediately strode over. "What’s wrong with you now?"

Though his tone was dismissive, he had already handed her a tissue.

Jiang Qimeng’s eyes nearly bulged out. Si Yuhuan is actually being so thoughtful towards her. Could he already know about her pregnancy?

Jian Xi raised an eyebrow at Jiang Qimeng. "My stomach feels uncomfortable."

She hasn’t told Si Yuhuan yet!

Jian Xi recalled the information the doctor had shared with her: she was going to terminate this pregnancy.

Jiang Qimeng struggled to remind herself not to panic.

"Shameless." Si Junyan led Jiang Qimeng to another dining table, just as they heard Jian Xi saying, "Maybe the signature dish smells better. When you have a poor appetite, you naturally become pickier."

"Hey! Have you no end to this?!" Si Junyan burst out.

Before Si Yuhuan could say anything, Jiang Qimeng gritted her teeth and instructed the manager, "Just serve our portion to Miss Jian."

She dragged Si Junyan. "Calm down. It’s just a few dishes."

Si Junyan pointed viciously at Jian Xi, then dragged Jiang Qimeng away and left.

Jian Xi tilted her head at him, her infuriatingly nonchalant attitude on full display as she quietly waited for the dishes.

Soon, the signature dishes arrived one after another. Si Yuhuan sneered, "You got what you wanted. Feeling proud of yourself, aren’t you?"

"It’s not bad. I’m finally experiencing the joy of snatching something from someone else."

Si Yuhuan had never met such a shameless woman.

"I’m only giving you some face in public because we’re legally married. If you dare to be so unrestrained in the future..."

"What can you do? Divorce me?"

Si Yuhuan fell silent. He felt like he was being threatened.

Jian Xi tucked into her food with gusto; her appetite was excellent.

She had been hungry for so many days and was determined to regain all the lost nutrition. She also needed to find time to visit the doctor to ensure her boy and girl twins were safe and sound.

"Aren’t you eating?"

Jian Xi had almost finished when she looked up and noticed Si Yuhuan hadn’t even touched his chopsticks. "You’re not eating?"

After such a commotion, he had lost his appetite long ago.

"Fine, then I’ll eat."

She moved several dishes from Si Yuhuan’s side to her own and continued eating.

Si Yuhuan furrowed his brow and asked suspiciously, "When did your appetite get so big?"

PFFT—

Jian Xi accidentally sprayed a mouthful of soup all over his face.

"You—" Si Yuhuan shot up from his chair, disgustedly wiping his face with a handkerchief. Jian Xi couldn’t help rolling her eyes. "You didn’t think it was dirty when you were kissing me. Such a hypocrite."

Si Yuhuan’s temples throbbed. "..."

"Just eat by yourself."

He angrily got up and left, not forgetting to leave his driver for her.

TSK! Good riddance. At least he won’t keep asking why my appetite suddenly increased. He absolutely cannot find out about the pregnancy.

Jian Xi bit her red lip, savoring the memory of Jiang Qimeng’s furious expression. Good. This is only the beginning.

However, she still needed to finalize her divorce from Si Yuhuan as soon as possible.

Once the restriction was lifted, Jian Xi grabbed her phone. The first thing she did was to message her family and Wan Yu, assuring them she was safe.

Wan Yu had been holding back for so long. When Jian Xi finally asked her out for coffee, she drove straight to the café without a second thought. The moment she entered, she grabbed Jian Xi and started pulling her outside. "Leave the country immediately—this place isn’t safe!"

Jian Xi broke free, unsure whether to laugh or cry. "What’s gotten into you?"

Wan Yu wore a somber expression. "I’ve realized that trying to contend with Si Yuhuan in China is like a mayfly trying to shake a mighty tree. I don’t dare make a sound; I can’t let slip even the slightest hint to my big brother. I’ve had to rely solely on my meager capabilities to plead with others. But do you know the outcome? No one dares to offend Si Yuhuan! No one dares to go against his wishes! Jian Xi, you can’t beat him. You should leave quickly."

The next second, Jian Xi pulled Wan Yu into a tight embrace, resting her chin on Wan Yu’s shoulder. "Silly girl," she said, her voice muffled, "how can you be so foolish!"

Reborn in this life, she was no longer the lovesick fool she once was.

Now she held enough leverage to make Si Yuhuan let her go. The only reason she hadn’t revealed her trump card was that the time wasn’t right. It was wrong of her to have worried Wan Yu needlessly. "I have Silicon Crystal. What can Si Yuhuan do to me?"

"But..." Wan Yu calmed down and took a deep breath, still worried. "Si Yuhuan is too terrifying. He hasn’t hurt you, has he?"

Jian Xi assured her, "The babies in my belly are fine."

"That’s good. But it’s still dangerous. You should get a divorce and leave the country immediately."

Wan Yu was still shaken.

Jian Xi briefly outlined her plan, leaving Wan Yu too shocked to utter a word for a long moment.

"Have Du Mingrui cut ties with *me*? Send Si Junyan to jail? Bleed Haohan Group dry?" One shocking revelation after another struck Wan Yu, making her feel as if her blood had run cold and her body had gone numb.

Her best friend is definitely suffering from some kind of depressive delusion.

There’s no doubt about the diagnosis.

She swallowed hard. "Mm-hmm, I’ll listen to you."

The doctor said to go along with her wishes.

Jian Xi, seemingly oblivious to her friend’s strange expression, continued discussing their respective tasks. Wan Yu then guaranteed that within a few days, she would ensure Du Mingrui obediently cut all ties with her.

"’Humans die for wealth as birds die for food.’ That woman values her reputation and status above all else," Jian Xi said. "Jiang Qimeng thinks she can use Du Mingrui as a pawn, but it all depends on which of us has more leverage. Just you wait and see." NovelFire

Jian Xi nodded. "Okay, then I’ll leave Du Mingrui to you."

Now that she was out, it was time to see her brother.

To her surprise, just as she stepped out, Chu Xiao rushed towards her and almost knocked her over.

Fortunately, the quick-handed young man caught her in time. "Sis! It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t left, Si Yuhuan wouldn’t have been able to lock you up."

"Alright! Keep a safe distance."

If he hadn’t fueled the fire last time, she wouldn’t have been locked up by that lunatic Si Yuhuan for days.

Jian Xi was truly wary of him now.

Chu Xiao looked up at her with pleading, puppy-dog eyes.

"Okay then, since you’re here, come with me to Jian Group."

As Jian Xi entered Jian Group with Chu Xiao, she heard the marketing department manager reporting strategic plans to Jian Mingcheng.

"The W Country market has been opened up. If we can establish a local manufacturing plant, it would significantly reduce our transportation costs. However, the concern is that Haohan Group might not agree to assign technical engineers, as it involves core technology..."

Jian Mingcheng waved his hand. "Alright, I understand..."

"Brother!" Jian Xi walked in and greeted him.

Jian Mingcheng waved the marketing manager away.

"Little sis, you’re here."

Chu Xiao greeted him with a cheeky grin, "Brother, I’m here too."

Jian Mingcheng wasn’t fond of this pretty boy who had interfered in his little sister’s marriage. He gave Chu Xiao a cool reception, merely nodding politely.

Chu Xiao awkwardly touched his nose, then sat down next to Jian Xi in the visitor’s area.

"Heard you went abroad to unwind these past few days?" Jian Mingcheng asked as he personally poured Jian Xi a cup of coffee.

Jian Xi raised an eyebrow. "Hmm?"

Chu Xiao also looked perplexed.

Jian Mingcheng, puzzled, continued, "Isn’t that so? Si Yuhuan told me..."

"Yes, yes, that’s right! I was abroad," Jian Xi hastily affirmed, frantically signaling Chu Xiao with her eyes.
