Chapter 313: Doctor Si is Almost Kidnapped
Even though Si Chen had never mentioned anything about Si Weimin and Lin Fengying, the identity of Si Xiaohui was not a mystery to Tong Yao. The only thing she was yet unsure of was the cause of her father-in-law’s death.
Sometimes, she wished that Si Chen would open his heart and share some of his concerns with her, so she wouldn’t have to bear the burden alone.
Si Chen hung a towel on the rack and openly said, "I have some issues with all of them."
Si Chen knew that Tong Yao was smart and sensitive to many things. She might have already guessed something, but it was indeed hard for him to disclose everything.
He wasn’t sure how Tong Yao would perceive the Si family’s darkest secret, if exposed. He wondered if she would find him disgusting.
The world Tong Yao lived in was so clean, and he didn’t want to taint her ears or her world view with these sordid details.
Noticing that he didn’t want to elaborate, Tong Yao jokingly changed the subject, "If you’re busy, then don’t bother. I’ll be busy for a few days as well. Xiaohui has her little uncle’s support now, so she’s not treating me too kindly anyway. I don’t feel like running around after her."
Si Xiaohui was the quintessential tyrant, treating others poorly just because she has someone backing her. But Tong Yao wasn’t the type to be bullied.
As for Lin Fengying, she wasn’t visiting to see her anyway. Tong Yao didn’t feel like pleasing her ungratefully.
Frankly, since finding out Lin Fengying’s secret, her impression of her had deteriorated, and she was only being polite due to being her mother-in-law.
