Chapter 1381: A Side Story About Si Yiyan (The End)
Xia Ruya and Xiao Jingnan probably wouldn’t have known why such a blunder happened even though their plan was clearly devised seamlessly. They would never know why the truth behind Wen Xinya’s death was recorded and played during their wedding.
Actually, it was a simple logic that they had all forgotten: “If you don’t wish for others to find out, don’t do it in the first place.”
The servant of the Wen Family, Mother Wang, was the reason for it all.
After watching the video of his granddaughter, Old Mr. Wen flew into a rage and fainted. As the servant of Old Mr. Wen, Mother Wang returned to the Wen Family home to pack some daily necessities that Old Mr. Wen would need when he was hospitalized after sending him to the hospital. She happened to witness Xia Ruya speaking to Wen Xinya before killing her and hence, decided to use her mobile phone to record the entire process on the account of her ties with Mo Yunyao. At last, the video recording became useful evidence that was used against Xia Ruya.
Si Yiyan miraculously used Xia Ruya’s and Xiao Jingnan’s wedding to carry out Plan S that was meant for attacking the Korean-Chinese Alliance. The military had also joined in on the plan while Old Mr. Wen gave his assistance to make it easier for them to carry out the plan. The Zhou Family was also the reason the plan could be executed successfully.
The Korean-Chinese Alliance was uprooted and eradicated completely in Capital city. There were more than a hundred members involved, including those who were planted in other provinces and cities. The world was taken by storm.
Si Yiyan headed to Huaishan Cemetery again and stepped onto the endless staircase. He then proceeded to Wen Xinya’s grave.
It was his first time visiting her grave ever since her death.
The photo on her tombstone was taken when she first returned to the Wen Family, before she got ruined by drugs. She looked rather youthful and puerile with pride written all over her face. There was an outstanding glow in her eyes and her smile was sweet.
That was Wen Xinya in her purest form, like the orchids that he placed in front of her grave.
Si Yiyan’s heart wrenched up in pain and he thought about the time when he returned to Capital city a few years ago, during which he chanced upon Old Mr. Mo saying that he had found his biological granddaughter. Si Yiyan initially wanted to take a look at her and caught a glimpse of her slender back at Pearl Mall. However, he had to leave almost immediately after because he was almost assassinated.
When he met her again years later, she turned out to have gone wayward.
He found it a pity that they did not get to meet each other at the right time.
He also found it a shame to have missed the best time of her life.
Was this Heaven’s will or a twist of fate?
They managed to cross paths because of Old Mr. Mo and the Korean-Chinese Alliance.
Si Yiyan knelt on one knee before her tombstone and gently grazed his fingers across the photo. He said calmly, “Perhaps you’ll never know this, but someone has entered your life when you weren’t realizing. He paid attention to everything to you and crossed paths with you. However… we’re just strangers who have met but not known each other.”
He had to bear the consequences of making a misstep because of a mere thought.
Had he given her some help at Jiayuan Club instead of rushing off to an urgent meeting, things would perhaps have turned out differently.
However, there was no turning back in this world.
Si Yiyan said, “This is our first time meeting formally.”
Yes, the first time!
Throughout all these years, he had been helping Old Mr. Mo look after Wen Xinya, though he did not pay too much attention to her because the more he found out about her, the more disappointed he felt. He was disappointed about the fact that a reputable man like Old Mr. Mo had such a letdown of a granddaughter.
At that time, he did not know that the Korean-Chinese Alliance had already gotten control of the Wen Family and Wen Xinya’s life.
Old Mr. Mo was the man whom he respected the most and he treated Old Mr. Mo like both his teacher and a friend. He also saw him as his kin. Hence, he had also put in the effort for Wen Xinya by secretly helping her get admitted to the school of jewelry design of Qingyuan University. He also got the teachers to help her and guide her along, thus giving her the chance to go to France and enrich her knowledge. He then hired the best expert in the world to help her kick her drug addiction in a bid to help her start life anew. Yet, she didn’t know any better and missed the chance time and time again. He was extremely infuriated at the fact that she didn’t want to help herself.
At last, he decided not to waste his time and efforts on her any longer, for he felt that she did not deserve to be Old Mr. Mo’s granddaughter at all.
He was willing to defend her and protect her, but that was all.
Si Yiyan said in a hoarse voice, “Hello, Wen Xinya. I’m Si Yiyan, one of Old Mr. Mo’s students, though he didn’t officially take me as his disciple. You may call me Senior Si!”
How long had it been since he referred to himself as Si Yiyan?
Si Yiyan’s memory was vague and he reckoned that he must have stopped using his birth name since 23 years ago when he was seven years old. No one called him Si Yiyan ever since his parents’ deaths. The name which represented the sun and hope that his mother had for him seemed to have been sealed in stone and locked in his memory forever.
Everyone began to address him as Ninth Si, Rex or Lucifer!
No one knew that those were not his birth names.
Reason being, no one deserved to hear that beautiful name.
“Xia Ruya has been arrested for deliberate murder and getting involved in the illegal activities carried out by the Korean-Chinese Alliance, and she will be executed after three years of jail. Ning Shuqian will also be executed two years from now, for the same reason. Wen Yuya has been sentenced to seven years of jail because she had taken part in your murder and several other crimes. Xiao Jingnan will be executed a year from now, for murder and being a part of the Korean-Chinese Alliance.
“Old Mrs. Wen couldn’t take the blow, so she has been admitted to the asylum for becoming deranged and mentally unsound. Wen Haowen got into a car accident and has become a vegetable. Old Mr. Wen has donated the remaining of the Wen Family’s assets to a charity organization under your name. He’ll live the rest of his life in resentment.”
Xia Ruya, Ning Shuqian, and Xiao Jingnan may be facing their deaths soon, but Si Yiyan would not let them live well. He would make sure to put them in a living hell.
Si Yiyan suddenly asked softly, “Are you pleased with this outcome?”
Wen Xinya seemed to be smiling at him sweetly in the photo, appearing bright and beautiful like orchids. Lately, he had been obsessing over the situation at Jiayuan Club back then which seemed to be a little blurry. The image of her seemed to have faded too. However, her hoarse voice seemed to still ring in his ears, especially at night.
Si Yiyan stood up slowly and stared at her condescendingly from above. “I may not have been able to protect you completely, but I’ve already avenged you. Please rest in peace.”
Si Yiyan slowly left the tombstone of the woman who had greatly impacted his life.
At this moment, Si Yiyan had yet to realize that he had to spend the time of his life to fulfill his promises to her and continue chasing her…
That was destiny!
It was a destiny that he could not run away from because it had already been set in stone.
