Chapter 230 Hysteria
Hearing these words, Song Xuejiao’s whole body trembled!
From childhood to adulthood, the siblings had always had a good relationship, so Song Xuejiao couldn’t believe these words were coming from her brother’s mouth!
“I heard everything you and dad just said.”
After his face was disfigured, Song Yili’s temperament had changed dramatically. He had always been narrow-minded and vindictive, but now after suffering such severe trauma, with both his face and body nearly ruined, he was trapped even deeper in a valley of hatred from which he couldn’t escape.
Enveloped by hatred day and night, Song Yili’s eyes were constantly filled with malice.
Standing at the doorway, hearing Song Xuejiao trying to stop their father from seeking revenge for him, he was nearly bursting with rage!
He had thought that after his sister arrived, the company would gain a powerful ally, but instead, she immediately wanted to surrender!
Was she really his sister? She was taking the outsider’s side, building up others while tearing down her own family!
“I’m doing this for your own good,” Song Xuejiao said, looking at the wounds on Song Yili’s face with heartache. “You can’t remain a child forever. Some things should be done, and some shouldn’t. I think you already know that.”
Song Yili sneered: “How I act is not for you to teach me.”
“Look at the wounds on my face, am I even human anymore?” Song Yili pointed at his own face, his smile carrying a grotesque and cruel quality. “I can’t look in the mirror every day, I’m afraid to see myself, fearing I’ll be frightened by my own reflection! This face—even the best plastic surgery in South Korea might not be able to fix it!”
“Every day with this face, do you know how much psychological pressure I endure? How much mockery and ridicule I face? Do you have any idea? He ruined my face, ruined my life, how can I not seek revenge?”
By this point, Song Yili’s face was flushed red, veins bulging on his neck as he clenched his fists and shouted viciously: “I want revenge, I want revenge! I want to destroy his entire family, make him suffer a terrible death and never find peace!”
Song Xuejiao felt a chill spread throughout her body. Looking at her brother’s state, she couldn’t help but shudder and even take a step back.
“Yili, how did you become like this? How did you become so hysterical? How did you become so frightening?” Song Xuejiao murmured.
“If your face became like mine, you try it and see if you wouldn’t become hysterical. See if you wouldn’t become frightening.”
Song Yili laughed bitterly in his anger: “And my sister doesn’t even help me, instead she stands here mocking me. You’re my own sister!”
Song Xuejiao’s body trembled again, but she persisted: “I’m doing this for your own good.”
“Whether you’re doing it for my good or not, I heard every word you just said, not missing a single one!” Song Yili nearly roared. “From now on, whenever I see you, I’ll remember these words! My dear sister!”
Tears streamed down Song Xuejiao’s face.
“Yili, why have you become like this, why?” Song Xuejiao felt as if her chest was being crushed by a thousand-pound stone, making it impossible to breathe! Song Yili’s behavior today was truly alarming!
Song Yili fixed his malicious gaze on Song Xuejiao and said: “I only ask you this: if you still consider yourself my sister, are you willing to help me get revenge?”
“I am willing, but…”
“No buts! No buts!” Song Yili growled. “I want a definite answer from you!”
“I…”
Even someone as strong as Song Xuejiao was thoroughly frightened by the vicious, vengeful look in Song Yili’s eyes!
“I have a way, it’s simple. You just need to say the word, and we can take down Su Rui and Bikang!” Song Yili’s gaze was terrifying, and his voice had grown hoarse from excitement!
“What way do you have?” Song Xuejiao asked instinctively.
“We can’t beat Su Rui or Bikang Group on our own, but can’t you ask my brother-in-law for help?”
Hearing the words “brother-in-law,” Song Xuejiao’s body trembled slightly, and a complex look flashed through her eyes!
Meanwhile, Song Tianxiang’s eyes lit up. Without a doubt, this was a solution that could yield results quickly! It could even be called a lifeline!
How had he not thought of this before?
“I know you’re proud and don’t want to lose face in front of the Jiang family, but you can’t put our lives at risk just for your pride!” The bloodshot color in Song Yili’s eyes gradually faded, and a strange smile appeared on his face. This smile, on a face covered with wounds, looked exceptionally cruel, making it difficult to look at directly.
“What kind of status does brother-in-law Jiang Yibo have? With just one word from him, even Bikang Group would tremble!” Song Yili continued, not noticing Song Xuejiao’s unusual reaction. “If you just ask, Jiang Yibo won’t refuse. For him, it’s just a matter of saying one word!”
“By then, this Su Rui will be at our mercy!” As he said this, the cold light in Song Yili’s eyes began to gather again, or rather, it had never truly disappeared: “I will make Su Rui pay a thousand, ten thousand times for what he did to me!”
Beside them, hope also ignited in Song Tianxiang’s eyes as he looked toward his daughter, hoping she would do as Song Yili suggested.
Although it might seem somewhat humiliating, it was undoubtedly the best solution.
But at this moment, Song Xuejiao’s eyes showed a momentary absence, and she stepped back again: “No, it’s impossible, it’s impossible…”
The small hope that had just ignited in Song Yili’s heart instantly turned to nothing!
“Impossible? Why impossible? It’s just because of your pride!”
Song Yili turned to Song Tianxiang and said: “You see now! She’s willing to risk the lives of everyone in the Song family just for her own face!”
Song Tianxiang gestured for him to calm down, then turned to Song Xuejiao and said: “Xuejiao, you should seriously consider Yili’s suggestion. Although it might be embarrassing, it’s really nothing between couples. If you just ask, he will definitely agree to help.”
“No, it’s impossible, it’s impossible…” Song Xuejiao continued to mutter.
Song Tianxiang raised his voice slightly: “Of course it’s possible! There’s nothing impossible about it! He’s your fiancé! Isn’t it normal for a husband to help his wife? If you think this is embarrassing, I can only express my disappointment. Your family is disgracing you!”
Clearly, by this point, Song Tianxiang was also getting angry.
If Jiang Yibo were willing to say something, those police officers investigating Tianxiang Group would surely retreat without daring to make a sound!
This was the advantage of combining power with business! Song Tianxiang, despite being the chairman of a listed company, was at a loss facing this problem. Yet for some people like Jiang Yibo, such problems were hardly problems at all.
His daughter was being so stubborn. It was such a simple matter—she just needed to ask, and between a couple, what was the big deal? But she refused to say or do anything, and instead wanted to surrender!
Song Tianxiang knew that the Jiang family had always looked down on the Song family, which was the biggest obstacle to his daughter marrying into the Jiang family. If Tianxiang Group hadn’t reached such a critical juncture, Song Tianxiang would never have called his daughter back, nor would he have asked her to seek Jiang Yibo’s help!
But in Song Tianxiang’s view, whether he asked for help himself was one thing, and whether Song Xuejiao took the initiative was another! If she didn’t take the initiative, or still refused to seek help even after his suggestion, it could only mean this daughter was extremely selfish. For the sake of marrying into the Jiang family, for the sake of becoming Jiang Yibo’s wife, for the sake of not being looked down upon by the Jiang family, she was willing to stand by and watch Tianxiang Group fall!
At this moment, Song Tianxiang was also extremely disappointed in his daughter!
Song Yili sneered: “You keep saying you’re doing what’s good for us, is this how you do good for us?”
“Dad, you see, my face has become like this, and she’s still unwilling to help me get revenge. It’s true what they say—a married daughter is like spilled water! She’s not even married yet, and she’s already thinking of her husband’s family first!” Song Yili stood to the side, mocking coldly, completely failing to notice that Song Xuejiao’s expression was becoming increasingly disturbed!
Song Tianxiang simply stood up and said: “Xuejiao, you should consider what Yili said. Just this once, just this once, okay? I believe if you ask, Jiang Yibo will definitely help.”
At this moment, Song Tianxiang firmly believed that this matter was truly insignificant for Jiang Yibo. That arrogant Ninghai City Bureau Chief would be nothing before Jiang Yibo! With just one phone call, wouldn’t the man flee in disgrace?
Song Xuejiao seemed not to have expected her father and brother to speak this way. This cold mockery, this rage, this hysteria—where was any semblance of her father and brother? Were these still her family members? Song Xuejiao couldn’t help feeling lost.
“Xuejiao, what are you thinking?” Song Tianxiang continued to persuade her. “Don’t disappoint us.”
This last sentence clearly carried a threatening tone.
“Jiang Yibo and I… we can’t be together anymore.”
Song Xuejiao murmured, as scenes from last night began to appear before her eyes.
Any woman who sees her man openly intimate with another woman would likely be devastated, and for a strong-willed woman like her, it was even more unacceptable.
Therefore, last night, Song Xuejiao had already made up her mind not to have any further contact with Jiang Yibo.
Marrying into the Jiang family had once been a beautiful dream for Song Xuejiao, but dreams eventually come to an end.
If she married such a man, her future would be all too clear!
