Si Jiangchen finally shifted his gaze from me and sized up Mrs. Sun and Sun Wenwen.
His gaze was like two icicles, stabbing into Mrs. Sun's heart. It made her feel that even breathing would disturb Si Jiangchen.
With a smile on her face, she said to Si Jiangchen, "Well... Mr. Si, you don't often see Lin Tong, do you? This little maid of his can't be kept anymore. She raises evil spirits to harm people. Look at what she's done to our Wenwen!"
As she said this, she dragged Wenwen, who was standing behind her, to the front and pointed at the marks on her face. "It's so scary. She'll definitely harm Tongtong in the future!"
"I told her to do it."
The cold look on Si Jiangchen's face remained unchanged. It was completely different from his usual spring - like smile. That smile that was always shown in front of everyone seemed to me like a mask that isolated the world. Only this kind of coldness now was the manifestation of his inner emotions.
He was really angry. His words not only stunned Mrs. Sun but also made the officials from the Religious Affairs Bureau beside Du Peiyun widen their eyes in surprise.
"Mr. Si... You!! Do you also raise evil spirits?"
Mrs. Sun pulled Sun Wenwen and wanted to step back. Si Jiangchen had already let go of my collar. He casually grabbed a bottle of pre - dinner sherry on the table and smashed it against the corner of the table with a "pop", breaking the long neck of the bottle.
"What are you doing? Aaaaah..."
Mrs. Sun watched as Si Jiangchen poured the whole bottle of wine into the ice bucket. She screamed in fear and looked at her husband for help.
Sun Liren only had this one daughter, and he doted on her very much on weekdays. Seeing Si Jiangchen casually throw the broken bottle with a glinting edge aside downstairs and then reach out to grab Sun Wenwen, he quickly said, "Mr. Si, please show mercy!"
Si Jiangchen simply ignored this Deputy Director Sun, who was usually highly regarded by all the high - ranking officials. He grabbed Sun Wenwen's two chubby little hands and asked, "Which paw scratched someone?"
Sun Wenwen had never seen such a scene before. A devil who was extremely good - looking was asking her questions gloomily, as if if she said a wrong word, one of her paws would be chopped off immediately!
"Aaaaah! This one..."
If her hands hadn't been grabbed, Sun Wenwen would definitely have covered her eyes and dared not look at this big devil in front of her anymore. She moved her right hand forcefully.
"Very good!!"
Si Jiangchen twitched the corner of his lips and grabbed Sun Wenwen's right hand.
"No... Please..."
Looking at the current situation, Mrs. Sun wondered if Si Jiangchen was going to cut off her daughter's finger?
"Husband, hurry up and save her! He's going to kill someone!!"
As Mrs. Sun let out a shrill scream like a pig being slaughtered, Si Jiangchen stuffed Sun Wenwen's little chubby hand into the ice bucket full of wine all at once.
"Mummy, it's so cold! Save me!! Wenwen's hand is going to freeze off!"
Sun Wenwen also howled.
For a moment, the restaurant became like a slaughterhouse.
"Hey."
At this time, I heard Du Peiyun's low voice on the steps say to Sun Liren, "Tell your wife and daughter to be quiet."
Sun Liren originally thought that Du Peiyun would reach out a helping hand to save them, but unexpectedly, he just told them not to make a fuss.
"Patriarch Du..."
Since Du Peiyun hadn't taken office in the Religious Affairs Bureau yet, Sun Liren could only address him like this.
"Mr. Si is saving your daughter's life."
Du Peiyun raised his eyebrows and glanced at us. Si Jiangchen had already let go of Sun Wenwen's hand.
Sun Liren was stunned when he heard Du Peiyun's words. He quickly glanced at me and saw that the scratch on my neck was still red, very eye - catching on my snow - white skin. In an instant, he seemed to think of something, and his face turned deathly pale. He rushed down the steps in three big steps, hugged his daughter's arm, and stuffed her hand back into the ice bucket, stirring it vigorously.
Sun Wenwen had just been let go by Si Jiangchen when she fell into her father's clutches again. The ice and wine in the ice bucket made her little hand turn red from the cold. Frightened and in pain, she howled again.
"What are you crying for! This is to save your life!"
Sun Liren scolded angrily, "Don't you even know who you've offended? I've told you many times that you can't provoke the Lin family! Why don't you just listen?!"
"I... I've already told Wenwen to stay away from them."
Mrs. Sun was scolded by her husband in front of so many people and didn't dare to get angry. She could only cry aggrievedly, "Who knew they would follow us?!"
"Let's go."
Si Jiangchen was too lazy to look at the noisy faces of this group of people anymore. He picked up Si Tong with one hand and led me with the other, about to walk outside.
Suddenly, Sun Liren called out to me timidly and asked, "May I ask, what's your relationship with the Lin family?"
"Me?"
I didn't understand why he would ask such a question.
I didn't know the Lin family at all before. What kind of relationship could I have with them?
"She's my mommy!!"
Si Tong, who was being held in Si Jiangchen's arms, surprised everyone by shouting in a clear childish voice, "If any of you dare to bully her again, just wait for my Dad Si to take revenge on you!"
"Dad... Si?"
The three members of Sun Liren's family were extremely shocked and stared blankly at the three of us.
"Mr. Si, aren't you... Aren't you afraid of the Lin family?"
Sun Liren knew that Si Jiangchen used to be on good terms with Lin Fangyu. But since the death of the Lin couple, with Si Jiangchen's influence, he didn't come forward to hold anyone accountable for the couple's deaths. Moreover, Lin Tong was even left in the care of the old butler who had served the Lin family for decades.
Sun Liren thought that Si Jiangchen knew the secrets of the Lin family, so he stayed away from this unlucky family. He didn't expect that Si Jiangchen would actually recognize Lin Tong as his godson?!
"Why should I be afraid of their family?"
Si Jiangchen glanced at him, and the faint smile returned to his face. "Deputy Director Sun, do you have any inside information? Can you tell me?"
The drawn - out tone of his words was full of sarcasm.
Sun Liren's face immediately turned red.
"Mr. Si... The Lin family has a virus. Be careful not to get infected..."
As he said this, he glanced at me and then said to Si Jiangchen again, "I'm very grateful to you for disinfecting my daughter in an emergency just now. So, I'm giving you a reminder... If this woman is from the Lin family... then she's also a carrier of the virus!"
"Is it the same virus that Lin Fangyu and his wife carried?"
Si Jiangchen still had that gentle smiling face.
"Yes... Uh!!!"
Sun Liren nodded subconsciously and suddenly found that Si Jiangchen's eyes had become extremely sharp.
"Xiao He is my wife." Si Jiangchen's hand had already wrapped around my waist. Together with Si Tong in his arms, we were just like a real family of three. He looked down at Sun Liren haughtily and said, "Deputy Director Sun, do you want to arrange another car accident to make us disappear too?"
"Mr. Si... What are you talking about? I don't understand!"
Sun Liren felt the hairs on his back standing up one by one. The Si Jiangchen in front of him was like a lion that had been eyeing its prey for a long time and was about to pounce on it at this very moment!
