Chapter 1328 - 761: Cleaning House and Severing Ties, Tearing Off All Pretense (Part 2)

As the situation developed to this stage, You Yunzhi, the protagonist, hadn’t spoken much.

She suddenly stood up, instantly attracting everyone’s attention.

No one knew how she would handle this matter.

"Si Madam only has one brother from her maiden family. Are you worried that Miss Si might mishandle things and leave them unresolved? So you’re preparing to protect her?"

"With the situation stirring up like this, if she wants to be a peacemaker, she’ll hurt her daughter’s feelings. Given Mr. Si’s temperament, I fear it may cause a rift between them as husband and wife."

"That’s their family matter, and we shouldn’t get involved."

...

Today was You Yunzhi’s birthday; she wore a dark red gown, elegantly tailored and fitting perfectly, with her hair pinned up beautifully and a pair of Cyan Feather earrings emitting a soft blue glow under the lights.

Composed and graceful, with a poised demeanor.

Her appearance was typically gentle and wouldn’t easily get cross or make a scene. Bearing the title of Madam Si, usually, no one would trouble her or deliberately provoke her into conflict.

Everyone was quite curious about what she would do when she personally stepped in.

"Sis..." You Hongxian opened his mouth, seeming to want to explain something, but You Yunzhi suddenly raised her hand to interrupt him.

"Don’t speak yet. I have three questions, answer me honestly, yes or no." Clearly a gentle person, her tone carried a hint of chill.

"What questions?"

"Did you send people to track Xiaoxiao, watching who she interacted with and where she went, yes or no?"

"Sis, she just returned to Beijing. I was worried she might meet unsavory people, I..."

"I’m asking you, yes or no? I’m not asking for your explanation!" You Yunzhi’s voice suddenly sharp, causing everyone to jolt.

Huo Qinqi, sitting on the side, glanced at Jiang Chengsi, "This Madam Si is quite formidable."

Jiang Chengsi: "..."

"You already stabbed me once, now again?"

"Are you crazy from staying home with the kids, that you’re causing trouble everywhere?"

Jiang Jinsang bowed his head, stifling laughter.

...

Of course, You Hongxian did not want to admit he had people follow Si Qingxiao with ill intentions. Moreover, with so many people present, admitting it would make it hard for him to move forward.

So he gritted his teeth, "I was just worried about her safety, not for..."

You Yunzhi didn’t even let him finish, directly raising her hand and tossing the whole brown paper bag onto him.

The paper bag rustled crisply, along with photos and a voice recorder, flung over heavily, scattering the photos on the ground...

"Bang—" Everyone hadn’t expected that after saying only a few words, Madam Si actually took action!

Suddenly, everyone held their breath, and You Hongxian was frightened, heart pounding.

The corners of his mouth twitched severely; though the items hit him, it was as effective as a slap in the face.

"Are you certain I don’t dare to play the recordings for everyone here? Do you still want to argue at this point?" You Yunzhi sneered coldly, "Fine, then let me ask you the second question. Were the photographers and reporters who rushed into the room related to you?"

"No relation!" You Hongxian could only deny everything through gritted teeth!

If not, his earlier defense with Lou Xingyu would seem like a joke.

"No relation?" You Yunzhi chuckled softly, "Final question, are you in collusion with them."

"No!"

To deny, he had to deny till the end.

But with the situation developed to this point, the facts were already clear; it just depended on whether Madam Si was willing to privately tear off the veil of shame!

"I can send people to investigate these matters; traces are always left behind. I ask you one last time now, are you truly unrelated to these matters!" You Yunzhi stepped forward, staring closely at him.

Growing up together, as a sister, she understood him well; sometimes just a glance could tell if he was lying.

You Hongxian was flustered under her gaze. She was, after all, his sister, too familiar with him; his fingers clenched into a fist.

"Sis, today is your birthday, you..."

"It’s my birthday; someone delivered such a grand gift. If I don’t accept it and investigate thoroughly, wouldn’t I be letting down some people’s painstaking efforts? Tell me, are you involved."

"No..."

The words weren’t finished!

Unexpectedly, You Yunzhi directly raised her hand and slapped him.

A crisp sound, leaving everyone dumbfounded, even You Hongxian didn’t anticipate his sister taking action, standing there, his limbs stiff and unable to move.

"Sis, you..."

As everyone gasped in surprise, You Yunzhi actually raised her hand preparing for another slap, but this time You Hongxian wasn’t foolish and raised his hand to stop it.
