Chapter 1033: Afraid I couldn't help but kill you
As his fingers stroked the crystal-clear cup, Si Wen's smile grew even brighter, and he said slowly, "I advise you not to say such things again in the future!"
"why?"
"Because I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself and kill you!"
Si Mingming was clearly smiling, but his tone was icy cold, like a complete devil.
Lilith's face paled, and she regretted contradicting the man. But on the surface, she feigned composure and said, "You have a terrible tolerance. This little bit of news can make you upset? If you knew how close Lin Yuqing and Zhang Kaifeng were, wouldn't you vomit blood?"
Seeing Si Wen fall silent, Lilith seemed to have found a way to hurt him. She looked smug and continued, "Speaking of which, Lin Yuqing is really quite resourceful. She makes every man she comes into contact with obey her every word. Don't you think this is weird?"
Slowly raising his eyes, Si Wen glanced at Lilith and said indifferently, "Instead of sitting here worrying about other people's affairs, you might as well think about how to solve your own problems. Xiao Jincheng will be leaving for the United States soon, and he's seen all the little tricks you've made. If you don't want to die, don't get involved in any of Zhang Kaifeng's actions."
"Why should I believe what you say? You just lied to me!"
"Think carefully about whether there's something strange about Xiao Jincheng's trip to the United States. For example, Xiao Jincheng is always so cautious, so how could he let you get a map of his itinerary before he even set off?"
Lilith's heart was hit hard, and her face was full of shock.
Yeah, why haven’t I thought about this problem before?
Thinking back on the past few years, Xiao Jincheng never leaked his itinerary in advance, no matter where he went. This time, in order to get Zhang Kaifeng's generous reward, she took a risk, but forgot her grandfather's style of doing things, and almost made a big mistake!
Seeing Lilith panic, Si Wen raised the corner of his mouth in satisfaction, leaned back leisurely, and said, "It's not too late for you to realize this now. There is still a chance to save your image in Xiao Jincheng's heart. Moreover, I will help you secure your position as the head of the Xiao family and let you take over the Xiao family with dignity."
The last sentence made Lilith sneer, and she said sarcastically, "If you don't want Xuan'er to return to Lin Yuqing, then he will stay in the Xiao family. Don't you know that this will only harm me and not benefit me? I don't think you are helping me, but you are just using me!"
Si Wen shook his head and sighed, "Hey, in my heart, Lilith has always been a smart and calm woman. Why did she suddenly become stupid today?"
Lilith's face darkened and she angrily said, "If you have something to say, just say it directly. There's no need to be sarcastic!"
Although Lilith's tone was bad, Si Wen didn't care. He tapped the table with his fingers and said calmly, "I just don't want him to return to Lin Yuqing. As for what his fate will be, I don't care."
Seeing the indifference in Si Wen's eyes, Lilith said coldly: "You are so cruel. Aren't you afraid that Lin Yuqing will be sad?"
Smiling and waving his hands, Si Wen explained, "This isn't called sadness, but transformation! Sooner or later, she will belong to me, and everything in the past will have nothing to do with her! In this necessary process, pain is inevitable. But even if it hurts, I will be with her."
This man is crazy!
Although Lilith avoided Si Wen, some of what he said was right.
Although she wasn't sure if her grandfather had discovered anything, Lilith didn't dare take any more risks. The price was too high, and she couldn't afford it. Previously, because of Zhang Kaifeng's promise of benefits, Lilith had forgotten her original intention. Now she had woken up and would not let Zhang Kaifeng lead her by the nose again!
However, although Lilith will not continue to cooperate with Zhang Kaifeng, perhaps she can use this opportunity to make Lin Yuqing completely give up on Mingyang! In this way, even if Mingyang remembers something in the future, he and Lin Yuqing will not be able to get back together!
Seeing Lilith's eyes gradually becoming vicious, Si Wen knew that this woman was already in his pocket.
……
Ever since Da Zhong doubted the authenticity of the map, he no longer took the initiative to contact Lilith. He just came to take care of Xuan'er's body every day and then returned to his room to study herbs.
No one knew what the use of his research was. All they knew was that Da Zhong needed a large amount of herbs every day. Every few days, he asked someone to buy a batch for him, and then he boiled them in the small garden to make them smell very good.
In response to this, many people went to Xiao Jincheng to complain, thinking that Da Zhong's behavior was strange and it would be best to control him.
However, Xiao Jincheng was very tolerant of Da Zhong and did not listen to other people's arrangements. He still let Da Zhong do his own thing.
Lilith saw all of this, but this time she learned her lesson and did not join everyone in stepping on Da Zhong, nor did she help Da Zhong plead with Xiao Jincheng.
Lilith had no idea what Da Zhong was up to. She wanted to ask, but since she didn't want to be associated with Zhang Kaifeng anymore, she held back. But if she didn't go find Da Zhong, why didn't he come looking for her? Could he have discovered something?
After some thought, Lilith decided that things needed to be done gradually. Even if she stopped working with Zhang Kaifeng, she shouldn't give up on the big clock. This man seemed full of treasures. Not only did he possess the method for refining cocoa hydrocarbon II, but he was also valued by her grandfather. So, she couldn't break off relations with him just yet.
Perhaps, I can pretend to cooperate with him, and after getting what I want, it won’t be too late to get rid of him!
With this in mind, Lilith went to the garden where Da Zhong was making medicine. Even from a distance, she could smell the rich scent of herbs.
Lilith covered her nose, frowned, and stood at the garden gate. She raised her voice and said, "Look at what you have done to our beautiful garden. There's a terrible smell everywhere!"
Da Zhong seemed to be fine. He turned around, smiled at Lilith, and said, "This tastes like licorice. Don't you think there's a hint of sweetness amidst the bitterness?"
"Come on, it's suffocating. Where's the sweet smell?" Lilith frowned and walked inside. She stood beside the big clock. She wished she could stop breathing so that she wouldn't have to suffer from the poisonous gas.
Lilith raised her chin and asked arrogantly, "What do you want to do with these things? What do you want to do?"
Da Zhong, fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan, stirred the medicinal juice in the small pot and replied, "I want to boil the medicinal juice into a paste. This way, it can be stored longer and won't spoil easily."
