Chapter 461: Heard It All
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As soon as the butler finished speaking, the few people who had been arguing suddenly fell silent and looked at the door in unison.
Cheng She, who was standing at the door, looked at the people in the room and immediately pulled his leg back. He was about to leave quietly when the butler saw him. The scene was a little awkward.
Cheng She smiled stiffly and greeted Si Fan. “President Si, I’m sorry to disturb you so late at night. I called you just now, but you didn’t answer, so I came over.”
Si Fan frowned and looked at Cheng She coldly. He did not say anything. Instead, he turned around and said to the butler, “Bring Yin Mo and the Young Miss back to their rooms first. I will settle things with them after I am done with them. Remember, don’t let them run around.”
“Yes, Young Master.” After the butler replied, he turned around and asked Si Xia and Yin Mo to leave with him.
The two girls’ faces were filled with unwillingness. They looked at Si Fan, then at Cheng She, their eyes holding a look of blame.
Si Xia was usually very obedient to Si Fan. When she heard Si Fan telling her to return to her room, she grudgingly but obediently walked toward the second floor. She took two steps and saw that Yin Mo did not follow her. Yin Mo stood there and stared at Si Fan as if she had been possessed. She was not even blinking.
Si Xia walked in front of Yin Mo and glared at her fiercely. She did not even ask for the butler’s help and directly pushed Yin Mo upstairs. As she walked, she said, “What are you looking at? Didn’t you hear what my brother said? Hurry up and go back to your room. It’s already good enough that you are allowed to stay in this house!”
The servants also tactfully left. At this moment, only Cheng She and Si Fan were left in the living room. It was silent.
At this moment, Cheng She’s face was filled with panic. Although he was already trying his best to pretend, he was still worried that Si Fan would find out. He looked at Si Fan guiltily. Since Si Fan did not speak, he did not dare to speak first.
“Come in.” Si Fan walked to the sofa and sat down. He poured himself another cup of tea.
Cheng She slowly moved to Si Fan’s side and stood upright. His eyes were only fixed on his shoes, like a child who had been punished by a teacher.
Si Fan slowly took a sip of tea and glanced at Cheng She coldly before asking in a low voice, “When did you arrive?”
Cheng She’s heart tightened. Was Si Fan worried that he overheard what he had just said?
“President Si, I just arrived not long ago. The courtyard door wasn’t closed and the lights were lit in the house. I guessed that you were not asleep, so I came in directly. I didn’t expect the butler to have such good eyesight. He greeted me the moment I came in,” he explained nervously.
“What did you hear just now?” Si Fan stared into Cheng She’s eyes.
As expected, that was something he should not have heard. Damn it. Cheng She cursed the butler in his heart.
When he first arrived, he heard the commotion in the room and thought that Si Fan was throwing a tantrum again. After all, Si Fan had always been like this. No matter how big or small the matter was, he would explode if he was unhappy.
He stood at the door and planned to wait for Si Fan to finish venting before going in to look for him. In his rage, Si Fan could easily hit someone. He did not dare to take that risk. He only realized what they were talking about when he heard words like “stolen contract”, “taking lives and a heart” and so on.
This was not something an assistant like him should know. Coincidentally, Si Fan had not spotted him. He wanted to slip away quietly, but he did not expect the butler to see him.
Now that everyone saw that he was here, he could not leave. He could only brace themselves and stay. Cheng She knew a lot about the dirty things that Si Fan had done.
He was already worried that he would not be able to leave Blue Fox because he knew too much. Now, he had accidentally heard something he should not know. If Si Fan found out, he would never get to leave.
Although he was complaining inside, he did not show it on his face. Cheng She’s mind raced as he quickly thought about what he should say. After thinking for two seconds, he said, “1 heard you saying something about never letting Second Miss die. President Si, Second Miss’s illness is already so serious that her life is in danger. What should we do? Can’t the best hospitals do anything?”
He pretended that he had just arrived and did not hear the key point.
Hearing Cheng She’s words, Si Fan’s expression softened a little. He said, “It’s nothing. She just needs to recuperate well. Why did you come here?”
It was rare for Si Fan to speak to him so amiably. It seemed like Si Fan did not suspect him anymore..
