He broke his vows for her, and a tycoon descended to earth for love.

Chapter 323, the final chapter – [Never Forget, Part 1]

No, that's not it, it can't be like that!

How could my father be the "hypocrite" Lin Zhenbiao described? He's not that kind of person, and he didn't do any of those things.

Siyi covered her ears in a fit of panic, gasping for breath, her eyes welling up with tears that streamed down her face like broken beads.

People around her were giving her curious glances, but Siyi was completely oblivious. Just then, her phone rang loudly in her pocket. She didn't even need to take it out to know who was calling her at this hour, but she found herself lacking the courage to answer the phone...

I'm sorry, she really didn't have the courage. Her mind was too chaotic right now. She didn't know what to say when she answered the phone. She didn't know how long the phone rang before it finally stopped. But then she heard another voice in her ear.

"Siyi?"

She was slightly startled, turned her head, and saw a familiar handsome face.

"Senior brother." She looked at Zheng Muyan, who was smiling faintly, and moved the corners of her mouth to force a smile that was uglier than a grimace.

Zheng Muyan hadn't expected to run into Siyi while he was out buying some things. Seeing the forlorn yet forced smile on her face, his smile froze, and he frowned, saying, "Why are you out alone? You look terrible. Are you still not feeling better?"

As he spoke, he reached out to touch Siyi's forehead. Siyi instinctively stepped back and dodged, forcing a smile as she said, "No, no, I... I just came out for a walk to clear my head."

Relax?

This expression doesn't look like she's just relaxing! It means she's definitely troubled. Could it be because of that lawsuit? But she wasn't like this when I saw her before; that lawsuit wouldn't have made her so worried, unless she and Jiang Yan had a fight…

Zheng Muyan had many questions in his mind, but his face remained calm as he said, "You look terrible. If you have something on your mind, you can tell your senior brother. I also have something I want to tell you. Let's find a place to sit down."

Siyi moved her lips, about to refuse, but Zheng Muyan didn't give her a chance. He reached out and grabbed her wrist, pulling her towards the nearest coffee shop.

The two sat down, and Zheng Muyan noticed that Siyi seemed distracted, so he took the initiative to order her a cup of Blue Mountain coffee, which she had always liked.

"Siyi, you can tell your senior brother now. Is something on your mind?" This girl has never been good at hiding her feelings, and he could tell at a glance.

Siyi forced a smile, "...No."

"Alright, since you won't tell me, then let me tell you." Zheng Muyan suppressed the urge to sigh, knowing that forcing her wouldn't work if she didn't want to talk, so he could only change the subject, hoping his words would bring her some good news. "Your friend has some news, saying they've discovered some very important evidence. I just found out about this myself, so Siyi, I've looked into it, and you might not lose this case..."

"Senior, do you think you've ever done anything against your conscience in all these years as a lawyer?" Siyi interrupted Zheng Muyan, her voice trembling slightly, but the question she asked shocked Zheng Muyan even more.

He was indeed stunned for a full three seconds before he reacted, "What?"

"Everyone thinks they are right, but others always judge you from two perspectives. So, senior, do you ever doubt your own judgment?"

The topic jumped a bit too far, but fortunately Zheng Muyan reacted quickly, understanding what she was asking. He smiled easily and said, "Silly girl, do you think there are perfect people in this world? We're human, not gods. We all make mistakes. As for what you do, as long as it's in accordance with your conscience, that's enough. Actually, right and wrong aren't often things for us to judge. The most important thing is your own conscience. What's wrong? Why are you suddenly asking me such an abrupt question? Did you do something wrong?"

The important thing is to be true to your conscience...

Yes, it's about being true to your conscience, but what if it involves human life? Where is your conscience then?

"...No, I was just asking casually." The waiter brought over the coffee, and Siyi took a sip with her head down, then fell silent again.

Zheng Muyan clearly noticed that Siyi was acting strangely today, but she wouldn't say anything. He knew this girl well; if she wasn't willing to talk about something, there was no point in asking. After thinking for a moment, he still asked, "The court hearing is in two days. Are you ready?"

"Senior brother, actually I..." Siyi was about to say something when her phone rang again in her pocket. This time it was in front of Zheng Muyan, so she couldn't not answer the phone. After calming herself down, she took out her phone, glanced at it, and finally answered it.

Jiang Yan, on the other end of the phone, was practically exploding with rage. "Sisi, where are you?"

He had suddenly received a call from Shang Zhancheng, who hadn't taken good care of his daughter, saying she was missing. He immediately suspected Lin Zhenbiao, but not wanting Siyi to worry, he took his men to find his daughter first. Unexpectedly, halfway there, the old butler brought Tiantian to see him, telling him that Lin Zhenbiao had only kindly brought Tiantian back from America to see what his great-granddaughter looked like. Jiang Yanhui was hesitant, but with his daughter in front of him, he didn't say much. It wasn't until he brought Tiantian back to the hotel that he discovered the text message on his phone. Only then did he realize that Lin Zhenbiao had used a diversionary tactic.

He arrived at his residence but couldn't find her. He kept calling Siyi, but she didn't answer. He was genuinely afraid that Lin Zhenbiao would harm Siyi. Fortunately, she answered the phone this time, and hearing her voice calmed him down.

She's alright... thank goodness she's alright!

"Why didn't you answer the phone? Do you know how worried I was about you? Where are you? I'm coming to find you now. Have you seen my grandfather? Did he hurt you?" The deep male voice was no longer as casual and lazy as usual. What kind of panic could make Jiang Yan, such a carefree person, ask so many questions in a barrage?

Siyi didn't have time to feel too much emotion; a feeling of heartache was slowly creeping into her chest. She was more sad than anything else, so sad that she wanted to cry. "...No, Yan Hui, I'm outside. I want to see you now."

Jiang Yan didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately said, "Okay, where are you? I'll come find you."

Siyi told him the name of the coffee shop before hanging up. Only after putting her phone away did she realize Zheng Muyan was sitting opposite her. She felt a little awkward, "Senior, I..."

"It's nothing. I have other things to do, so I'll be going now." Zheng Muyan stood up as if nothing had happened. There was no extra emotion in his eyes, but there was a moment of heartache that only he knew best. His voice was still calm. "Siyi, don't worry about the case. I will definitely handle it for you. Also, if there's anything you need, I'm happy to listen to you. Take good care of yourself. I'm leaving now."

Siyi quickly stood up as well. She opened her mouth to call out to Zheng Muyan, but the words "senior brother" stuck in her throat. Seeing his impatient action of pushing the door open and leaving, she held back.

There are many things that we are not unaware of, nor are we blind to them; it's just that even though we have seen and heard them, we still cannot give the other person everything they want most.

As Zheng Muyan just said, no one can be perfect. Everyone should act in accordance with their conscience in everything they do.

So now, in Zheng Muyan's eyes, Ye Siyi is selfish.

But did my father really do that thing more than 20 years ago?

If it's true, how did he feel at the time?

—Why don't you ask your "good father"? He's been hiding in America all these years, and he hasn't come back even after you got into trouble. Do you really think he's cultivating himself? You're wrong. He's just hiding from his past debts. He'd love to get far away from here and never come back, because if he does, he'll remember what he did back then. What an impartial and just judge! He has such a high reputation, but what ugly past is he hiding? Only he knows best! That's your "good father"—a hypocrite!

.........

"Sisi".

Her chaotic thoughts were interrupted once again. Siyi quickly suppressed the overwhelming emotions in her eyes, looked up, and saw Jiang Yan jump out of the car and walk briskly toward her. Before she could even speak, he reached out and pulled her into his large, warm embrace.

Siyi was standing at the entrance of the coffee shop, and being held by him like this, she was still a little embarrassed. She subconsciously struggled a little, but Jiang Yanhui ignored her resistance and wrapped his arms around her body like iron hoops, holding her in his arms and making her unable to move.

“…Yan Hui, don’t hug me so tightly.” Si Yi frowned.

"Be good, don't move."

"Then let go."

Should I hold her body, or her heart?

Why do I still feel so uncomfortable even though I can clearly feel his warmth?

"You woman, do you know how worried I was about you? How could you go with them? And you didn't answer my calls. Were you trying to scare me to death? Are you alright?" He finally loosened his grip on her a little, but his hands were still holding her slender waist. He carefully checked her from head to toe, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he found that she had no wounds. His eyes were bloodshot, because he had been worried about her safety all along, and there were still too many dark emotions in his eyes that he couldn't hide.

"Why are your eyes so red? Did you cry?"

Perhaps to lighten the mood, Siyi pointed to his alluring peach blossom eyes and asked a question in a casual tone.
