Chapter 425 - Throw Miss Si Out! (1/2)
Once the doctors were all present, a round of discussions ensued. After reading Dr. Carl’s examination report and confirming that the operation could be performed in the near future, Professor Joseph chose an operation time and asked Yun Xi’s opinion.
Naturally, Yun Xi didn’t dare delay the time too much. After confirming that there would be no conflict with her biology compet.i.tion and her English contest, she agreed to a time.
The longer the delay, the more anxious everyone would get. Also, Yun Xi felt that once the time had been set, she could set aside time to prepare.
But as soon as Yun Xi had agreed to a time, Si Wenxuan stood up and opposed her.
“Dad, what could this little girl know? How can you place Mother’s life in her hands? If something goes amiss, ten of her lives wouldn’t be enough to pay for my mother’s. Don’t be fooled by her big talk.”
Si Wenxuan glared at Yun Xi angrily. She had never seen such a shameless person, someone so desperate to social climb.
Even Doctor Carl couldn’t do anything about her mother’s illness. How could a little girl like this do anything? How was she able to bluff so unashamedly?
Her father had lost his wits in his desperation to find a doctor. They wouldn’t be able to do anything if something bad really happened to her mother.
“Wenxuan, shut up!” Si Jingting glared at Si Wenxuan warningly with a fierce expression in his eyes. “It’s not your place to speak here.”
“Dad, this is my mother, how can you possibly risk killing her? We don’t know anything about this girl. Who knows what her ulterior motives might be? Maybe she approached us with some ulterior motives to harm my mother. What could happen? Have you forgotten what happened more than ten years ago? Although I don’t remember since I was still young then, my mother became like this today because of the c.u.mulative side effects of what happened back then.”
Upon the mention of that incident more than ten years ago, Si Jingting’s face sank.
At that time, he hadn’t been the head of the Si family, although the Si family had been a prominent family in Jingdu alongside three other prominent families.
The four families: the Mu family, the Si family, the Huo family, and the Jiang family, all stood side by side.
He had been the youngest son of the Si family, so he wouldn’t have gotten the family inheritance. However, because of his father’s bias toward him, bloodshed had started between the brothers within the family.
As the heir and the beneficiary of the old man’s will, he’d been hunted down by his elder brother before he could even a.s.sume the position of power.
The power struggle between giants was more cruel and ruthless than the cheesy bloodshed one saw in dramas.
People weren’t betrayed by strangers, but by their best friends.
