Chapter 102 All of that was with Song Yan's tacit approval.

Chapter 102 That was all with Song Yan's tacit approval.

A row of black cars slowly pulled up in front of the villa, forming a grand procession.

Grandpa Lin slowly got out of the car, leaning on his cane, his back hunched but he tried his best to maintain his dignity.

Lin Shuangyu followed behind, his fingers gripping the brocade box tightly, his face feigning obedience.

She looked at what she was holding, her eyes filled with resentment and hatred.

The butler led the group into the living room, where Jiang Wang and Si Yuan sat on the main sofa, looking at them with deep gazes.

Jiang Wang glanced at them, smiled, and spoke first: "So many people have come, it's like a banquet, it's overwhelming."

Old Master Lin sensed the veiled meaning in the words, but said nothing, and smiled knowingly.

Lin Cheng immediately stepped forward, presented the brocade box with both hands, and said in a deliberately lowered and respectful voice: "Young Master Jiang, Miss Si, my daughter is ignorant and mistakenly took Miss Si's valuables. Today I have brought her here to apologize. I hope you two will be lenient."

Lin Shuangyu gritted her teeth and took out the belongings of Si Yuan's parents from the brocade box.

A ceramic bird necklace inlaid with small diamonds.

She handed it over with both hands, her voice stiff: "I'm sorry, I'm giving it back to you now."

Si Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to take it.

The moment my fingertips touched the necklace, I noticed a vicious, obvious crack on the ceramic bird, and I could even see loose diamond fragments inside.

She looked up abruptly, her voice trembling as she questioned, "Lin Shuangyu, did you break it?"

Lin Shuangyu casually looked away and explained, "It's all fixed for you. I found a master to fix it. Anyway, it's an old item, so it's fragile."

Si Yuan's eyes turned cold, a strange and eerie darkness rising within them.

"So, you're the one who broke it?"

Lin Shuangyu immediately took a half step back and raised her voice to retort, "Si Yuan, don't push your luck! I've already asked someone to do their best to fix it, what more do you want? Are you trying to cause trouble on purpose!"

Si Yuan frowned, shook her head, and then handed the item to Jiang Wang behind her for safekeeping.

The next second, he suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Lin Shuangyu's hair, slammed her onto the cold floor, and slapped her across the face.

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

The crisp sound of a slap echoed in the living room. Si Yuan's eyes were red, and her voice trembled but was filled with fierceness: "What right do you have to touch her things? What right do you have to... bully me, ruin me, and yet you won't even spare the belongings of a deceased person? Lin Shuangyu, what right do you have?"

Jiang Wang was somewhat taken aback.

Not to mention Lin Shuangyu.

She had never been hit like that before.

She's the kind of person who would hit Si Yuan like this, but she's never gone this crazy, especially not to the point of hitting him in the face...

Si Yuan's gaze was murderous; Lin Shuangyu didn't even have the courage to resist.

Upon seeing this, Lin's mother immediately rushed over, crying and shouting, "Why are you hitting me? Let go of me, you're crazy!"

But Lin's father grabbed her and held her arm tightly, forcing a fawning smile at Jiang Wang: "Young Master Jiang, children are just children and don't know any better. Miss Si is angry, so it's good to give her a few slaps to vent her anger. It's our Lin family's fault for not disciplining her properly."

Lin's mother was pinned down by her husband and could only watch helplessly as her daughter was beaten, crying even harder.

Si Yuan stopped what she was doing and looked at Lin Shuangyu, who was lying on the ground with disheveled hair and blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, but she felt that her anger had not subsided at all.

She suddenly looked up, her voice trembling with tears yet incredibly firm: "I can't get over this! This is the only necklace my mother left me. She broke it, and she thinks she can just let it go with an 'sorry'?"

Jiang Wang strode forward, grabbed Si Yuan's hand, pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly, gently patting her back to comfort her: "Don't get agitated, you've just recovered, you can't get angry."

He looked down at Si Yuan, who was trembling in his arms, and then looked coldly at Lin Shuangyu, his eyes full of icy intent: "Kill her, she'll dirty my girlfriend's hands."

The living room fell silent instantly. Lin Shuangyu lay on the floor, looking up at Jiang Wang's cold eyes, a sense of fear rising in her heart, afraid that Si Yuan would lose control again.

My face was burning with pain, and my neck had several marks from being pinched.

Old Master Lin coughed, his hand on his cane trembling slightly, but he still forced himself to speak: "Young Master Jiang, as long as you stop and spare the Lin family, we will not say a word even if this wicked child is beaten to death."

Lin Shuangyu's heart turned cold instantly. Her grandfather actually didn't care about her life or death for the sake of the Lin family.

She opened her mouth, but no sound came out. She could only watch helplessly as her father, his face pale, echoed, "Yes, yes, Young Master Jiang, whatever you need, just say it, and we will do our best to accommodate you!"

Jiang Wang lowered his head and gently wiped away the tears from Si Yuan's eyes.

Seeing her cry, Jiang Wang's eyes grew even colder and more menacing.

He looked up at the Lin family and slowly said, "Since the item is broken, there has to be some price to pay, right?"

"Your daughter has to lose something too, right?"

Lin Shuangyu's face was filled with shock.

"Eyeballs, fingers, or ankles are all quite fragile."

Lin Shuangyu's eyes widened, and he staggered to his feet, shouting, "Are you crazy? You're going this far for a woman? This is intentional assault!"

A hint of nonchalant cruelty flashed in Jiang Wang's eyes.

"First of all, your father would be eager to do it for me. Secondly... if this is intentional injury, then what are these injuries on Si Yuan's body? Abuse? Or attempted murder?"

Lin Shuangyu's hand trembled violently, and he became terrified.

She hid behind her mother, shaking her head in fear, "No...it was just that we went too far during our school days..."

Si Yuan's fingers tightened, and she slowly raised her eyes to look at Lin Shuangyu.

"Did you go too far?"

"Pressing my head into the winter sink, forcing me to take off my clothes and read those diaries, talking to Song Yan on the phone while stubbing out a cigarette on my back... was all of this just going too far?"

Lin Shuangyu shrank back, not feeling that he had done anything wrong.

"That's because you like your brother. Song Yan tacitly allowed me to do all that!"

"You're talking nonsense!"

A figure appeared at the doorway at some unknown time.

It is Song Yan.

He heard what Si Yuan and Lin Shuangyu were saying.

He could never imagine what kind of abuse Si Yuan had suffered, nor could he believe that Lin Shuangyu had actually done those things himself.

But today, he heard it all.

I've imagined all of that.

So, his eyes turned red without him even realizing it, and he stood there listlessly, glaring at Lin Shuangyu.

A moment later, he turned his gaze to Si Yuan.

"Xiaoyuan, she's talking nonsense. I don't know anything about it! I never asked her to treat you like that."

Song Yan's voice trembled. He staggered forward two steps, but was frozen in place by Si Yuan's cold gaze.

"you do not know?"

Si Yuan gently broke free from Jiang Wang's embrace, a bleak smile playing on her lips.

“You often avoid me, afraid that I will cling to you, but we live under the same roof after all. Tell me, you didn’t notice anything?”

"I……"

His Adam's apple bobbed, his voice was terribly dry, and he lowered his head.

"I don't know, but I don't deny it. I admit my mistake. Xiaoyuan, your brother knows he was wrong... You can blame me however you want, let's go home, okay?"
