CHAPTER 246: CHAPTER 244: BATTLE FOR PLUNDER

She was going to go abroad and absolutely could not get entangled with Si Yuhuan again, especially since playacting in front of Grandpa would eventually expose her pregnancy.

If Si Yuhuan discovered she intended to take his child and flee, that mad dog of a man might do something outrageous.

Jian Xi decisively refused without a second thought. "We are already divorced. Grandpa knows this full well, and he can recover just fine even without me. Don’t use him as an excuse to take advantage of me."

HISS!

The woman has become smart.

Si Yuhuan sighed helplessly. "I can understand. After all, with my current status and position, having Miss Jian by my side would probably make people laugh. I understand."

"Si Yuhuan, in your eyes, am I someone who only flatters the powerful and scorns the weak?" Jian Xi was infuriated.

Thinking that his current success was all because of her.

She promptly took out the check her brother had given her. "Here’s one billion, from my brother for you."

The light in Si Yuhuan’s eyes, which had just lit up, instantly died. "Keep it. There’s no need to buy peace of mind with money."

Looking at the man’s lonely silhouette, Jian Xi furrowed her brows.

She couldn’t even give the money away!

「Si Junyan arrived at the hospital.」

He arrived with an imposing entourage of over twenty bodyguards, all dressed in black suits. Anyone who didn’t know better would think a movie was being shot, like a presidential motorcade.

As soon as he entered, he started to find fault, speaking in a petty and acrimonious tone, "Brother, you’ve allowed yourself to fall so low and even brought Grandpa to such a place. Don’t you know poor medical care could cost Grandpa his life?"

Then, he ordered the bodyguards, "Hurry up and move Grandpa. I’ve prepared a private hospital. From now on, he will receive the best treatment. You don’t have to worry anymore."

His eyes were filled with unmistakable contempt and mockery.

Just as the bodyguards were about to step forward, Yan Qing kicked out.

The hired bodyguards were sent flying several meters.

"Yan Qing, what do you think you’re doing?" Si Junyan’s expression changed instantly, and he pointed at Yan Qing, questioning him sharply.

Si Yuhuan walked over and stood before him. "Si Junyan, I’m not dead yet! What’s with your arrogance?"

"What kind of talk is that, Brother?" Si Junyan lifted his chin, not even deigning to look at him directly. Venom flashed in his malicious eyes as he accused arrogantly, "Don’t forget why Grandpa suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and is lying here receiving treatment! Si Yuhuan, you don’t deserve to be Grandpa’s grandson."

Si Yuhuan grabbed Si Junyan by the collar and pulled him close. "Take your men and get out before I lose my temper!"

The innate intimidation was palpable.

Si Junyan was no longer the cousin who could be easily pushed around. He smacked Si Yuhuan’s hand away. "So what if you get angry? Si Yuhuan, I’m the wealthiest man now! I’m also the leader of Haohan Group! Who do you think you are, yelling at me?"

"That’s right, Grandpa fought for this position for me. Without his favoritism, you’d just be a discarded pawn. What? Are you angry? Does it hurt?"

BANG!

Si Yuhuan punched him in the face.

The bodyguards were about to rush over but were stopped by Si Junyan. He sneered, pushing his cheek with his tongue. "Now I’ve taken a hit. Consider all debts of cousinly affection settled."

"From today onwards, I’ll spare no effort to oppose you. Si Yuhuan, you’re finished!"

Si Junyan’s bodyguards attacked Si Yuhuan.

The two sides brawled in the hospital.

Si Yuhuan was still injured and hadn’t recovered. He was outnumbered, and Yan Qing alone was no match for them, so they soon found themselves at a disadvantage.

Old Master Si, hearing the commotion, came out. Seeing his two grandsons fighting, he trembled with anger. "All of you, stop it!"

Si Yuhuan immediately stopped.

Seizing the opportunity, Si Junyan kicked him ferociously on his still-unhealed wound, which instantly burst open.

Blood gushed out.

Old Master Si’s eyes widened. "You... you unfilial descendant..."

Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck. The old master turned his head and saw Jian Sirun’s and Jian Xi’s faces. He moved his lips slightly, but before he could speak, he fainted.

"Don’t worry, it’s just a sedative," Jian Sirun said, cradling Old Master Si’s body and handing him to a male nurse beside him. "Settle him properly."

Then, he raised his hand. A group of security guards, who were actually disguised bodyguards, rushed forward and quickly subdued all the "trash" Si Junyan had brought.

"Si Yuhuan! Jian Xi! Just you wait!" Si Junyan, failing to abduct Old Master Si, was furious. Seeing more and more people gathering, he huffed, scrambled up, and fled in disarray.

Jian Xi quickly rushed to Si Yuhuan’s side. Seeing his abdomen and hands covered in blood, she asked, "Are you all right?"

"Good thing you came," Si Yuhuan said weakly, forcing a smile.

THUD!

He collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Jian Sirun sighed. Without waiting for his younger sister to plead, he had Si Yuhuan taken in for emergency treatment.

Si Yuhuan’s old injuries had recurred, and he needed to be hospitalized for observation.

Jian Sirun found him several competent nurses, but the picky Si Yuhuan remained unsatisfied, leading to repeated infections of his wound.

When Old Master Si woke up and learned about these events, he immediately pleaded with Jian Xi, "Grandpa knows you two are divorced, and that you’re completely disappointed in Yuhan and don’t want to give him another chance. But he’s down and out now. That brat Si Junyan is calling the shots in the Si Family. I’m old and feeble, just a useless old man. I can’t help Yuhan recover. I can only trouble you to take care of him. Xixi, for the sake of your past marriage, please take care of him for a few more days. When he’s healed, I promise I won’t trouble you anymore, alright?"

Jian Sirun, who had just pushed the door open and entered, overheard this and said with displeasure, "Old Master, this is emotional blackmail."

Now he understood why his younger sister had been unable to break away from Si Yuhuan. With this meddling old man around, it was too difficult for his sister to extricate herself.

Old Master Si looked embarrassed and pretended to wipe away tears. "It’s my fault for imposing. You’re right, Yuhan being sick has nothing to do with others. It’s all because I haven’t been a good grandfather. I’ll go take care of him."

Jian Xi grew anxious and tried to calm the old man. "Don’t get worked up. I’ll take care of Si Yuhuan. After all, he was injured and lost his position as CEO of Haohan Group because of me. I won’t leave him until he’s fully recovered."

Jian Sirun watched his younger sister leave and pressed his forehead in frustration.

Old Master Si gave him a sly smile. "I’m just trying to get them back together. Don’t blame me. Who can blame me for doting on this girl, Xixi!"

"They are not suitable for each other."

Jian Sirun didn’t give Old Master Si a pleasant look and slammed the door as he left.

Old Master Si sighed. "Whether they’re suitable or not, only they truly know. Our opinions don’t matter. Anyway, I’ve done all I can, even if it means being shameless."

Si Yuhuan hadn’t expected that the first person he would see upon waking would be Jian Xi.

"Don’t flatter yourself. Grandpa asked me to take care of you."

Jian Xi indifferently handed him a glass of water, remarking sarcastically, "You don’t even know how to take care of your own injuries, yet you still go around fighting people. Look at you now. Your wound ripped open. You’ll be lucky to be discharged in ten days."

More than twenty stitches. It hurt just looking at them. That Si Junyan was truly ruthless.
