Reborn as the Cinnabar Mole of the Prince of Beijing's Elite Circle

Xie Yu'an narrowed his eyes and looked coldly at Si Jing. Was all of this a trap set by these people, waiting for him and An Cinian to fall into it?

"She is destined to be the heir of our Si family."

As long as you are an heir, you have no freedom, let alone the ability to leave.

When Si Muyi heard her grandfather's resolute words, she immediately lowered her head. This was their fate. She and her sister were the only girls in the family, and their family had always been led by women, unless the husband succeeded the wife.

Because Si Jing's father, that is, his grandfather's generation, relied on his grandmother to build the empire, and this has been the rule ever since.

Therefore, the older sister was designated as the heir from birth, while she was forced to become the alternative heir after the older sister disappeared.

In such a family, they had no choice. Once they became heirs, they were locked in the Si family's cage for life, with no freedom to speak of.

What is freedom? To put it nicely, they are the heads of the family, but they are nothing more than caged birds or canaries struggling in the family. To put it bluntly, it is imprisonment!

"Have you ever considered Niannian's feelings? You keep saying 'I've been looking for you for eighteen years,' what are you trying to say? You've never genuinely cared about Niannian, you haven't felt sorry for her, you haven't even asked 'Qingqing, how have you been all these years?' All you've thought about is making Niannian the heir. To put it bluntly, you're just selfish and self-serving... It's ridiculous. You say nice things on the surface, but behind the scenes, it's all hypocrisy!"

Xie Yu'an spoke each word with force and conviction. His heart was filled with sorrow for An Cinian's plight, the girl he loved, and with disgust for these people, who were all hypocrites.

He had never imagined that his family would treat their children in such a disgusting way. Anping and Bai Yiting had taught him a lesson, and now the Si family had taught him another.

As Si Jing looked at An Cinian being held by Xie Yu'an, long-sealed memories were suddenly unlocked. When Si Qing was born, she was the only girl in the family, the child of his beloved son and the daughter-in-law he had carefully chosen.

When he first held the baby girl, he thought that pigeons symbolized peace and freedom, and that it was a moment of tranquility that the Si family had never experienced before. So he named her Si Qing, hoping that his granddaughter would be pure and innocent, not blinded by the interests of the family, and free and unrestrained, so that she could be a little bird yearning for the blue sky even in the cage of the Si family.

However, in the end, Si Qing was still personally designated as the heir of the Si family. From birth, the child had been with him. The child should have been happy and carefree in his childhood, but he cut it off with his own hands.

He forgot his original intention and always felt that as long as Si Qing became powerful enough in the future, he could do whatever he wanted, and wouldn't that allow him to be free?

The white dove eventually turned red.

"You go."

Si Jing sighed. A lot had happened in the family over the years, and he had thought a lot about it. He prayed every day that if his granddaughter came back, he would never force her to do things she didn't like again. He sent someone over today just to see his beloved granddaughter and to find out Xie Yu'an's attitude.

Now it seems that he is very satisfied with Xie Yu'an. With the young master of the Beijing circle by his side, his granddaughter will be safe.

Xie Yu'an turned to leave with An Cinian.

"Qingqing, don't you want your brother anymore?" Si Muyun called out to An Cinian from behind.

He was unwilling to accept it; that was his sister.

An Cinian, who was being held in Xie Yu'an's arms, stopped in her tracks because of Si Muyun's words. She slowly turned her head to face Xie Yu'an's chest and finally said, "I don't want it anymore."

A single, simple sentence, yet so cold and ruthless.

She turned her head slightly, her cold lips uttering cold words, "I have no memory. You never existed in my world. Even if things were really good before, they are just a passing cloud to me now. I am not Si Qing. I am just An Cinian, who belongs to myself. If you want to use family ties to blackmail me, I can tell you very clearly that what I hate most in this life is so-called family ties."

Because of family ties, her hands and feet were bound, her mouth was covered. She didn't belong to herself, but why? Why should she bear everything, why should she do everything? She's a human being—a living, breathing person with flesh and blood, capable of crying and making a fuss!

I hate family ties the most!

Upon hearing these words, Si Muyun felt an indescribable panic welling up inside her, and she involuntarily took several steps back.

His face turned pale, and his eyes were filled with doubt and deep despair.

If his father hadn't reached out and caught him, he probably would have collapsed to the ground.

When he met his beloved younger sister, whom he cherished most since childhood, eighteen years later, he uttered such resolute words.

Not only did his sister abandon him, but she also wanted to give up the entire Si family.

Such a blow was undoubtedly fatal to Si Muyun. The thick walls in his heart crumbled layer by layer, and all the hopes of the past eighteen years vanished.

Si Qiyan remained silent, only watching An Cinian's retreating figure, lost in his own schemes and plots.

“Daughter, we have no other intentions, please don’t misunderstand, we…”

"That would be best if you didn't. I'm living a good life now. I have a lover, family, and I'm very happy. If you feel guilty towards me, you shouldn't bother me."

Even with Si Qiyan blocking the doorway, Xie Yu'an was fearless. With so many people around, he dared not make any rash moves. Thinking this, he bumped into Si Qiyan's shoulder, walked past him, and led An Cinian away from the place of trouble.

Watching the figures gradually disappear, Si Muyi's anger surged. "It's all your fault! My sister is unhappy again. I hate you all too, hmph!" She stomped her foot and left indignantly.

Si Muyun looked at Si Qiyan and sighed repeatedly: "Qiyan, you've seen it too. Let's call it quits between you two."

After saying that, he left with Si Muxi.

Some things cannot be forced. Originally, the children got along very well, happily, and joyfully because Si Qiyan was a good person, and their fathers and they genuinely liked Si Qiyan, so they got engaged early on.

Unfortunately, everything is irreversible...

All the way, An Cinian lay in Xie Yu'an's arms, her eyes looking around aimlessly. Her mind was in turmoil. She knew a memory that wasn't in her own, her biological parents, her original home. But after so many years, whether it was genuine or not, the things she had experienced had become an indelible part of her life.

She had lived two lives, and all she could remember about Xie Yu's safety was pain.

She only wanted Xie Yu'an; she didn't want anything else. Really, God, I don't want anything else. I'm willing to accept the fate you've given me, but you can't take Xie Yu'an away from me.

"Ayu, I love you. I know the whole world has abandoned me, but you won't." An Cinian reached out and stroked Xie Yu'an's right hand, and finally placed that right hand on An Cinian's right cheek.

Ah Yu, I know I've made many mistakes and been unfair to you, but I won't leave you, and I beg you not to leave me either.

He felt a tear slide down An Cinian's right eye and drip into his palm: "Yes, I won't. Xie Yu'an will never abandon An Cinian. I love you, my wife~"

Si Qiyan returned to his villa. He had been silent the whole way, but at this moment he could no longer hold back. He grabbed a vase from the table and smashed it on the ground, violently and rudely.

His face was contorted with rage, and he was filled with resentment.

Even after all this, Xie Yu'an still managed to take An Cinian away. What's wrong with these people? They're always sighing and complaining, saying they haven't thought about Qingqing? What's going on now? She's right in front of them, and they're just going to let an outsider take Qingqing away?!

"boss."

Ah Sheng lowered his head and called out softly, startling the servants in the house so much that they knelt on the ground.

Si Qiyan couldn't understand what had happened today, looking at Asheng who had followed him for many years.

"Ah Sheng, tell me, where did I go wrong? I did so much, everyone should have helped me keep Qingqing, but why did it turn out like this? Qingqing~ Qingqing was originally my wife, they were the ones who arranged our marriage!"
