Si Mingli wanted to eliminate her multiple times even when Si Yehan was still there. Not to mention now that Si Yehan was missing with his fate unknown...
"You're Ah-Jiu's confidant. You'd also be in danger if you returned to the Si residence," Ye Wanwan said while looking at Xu Yi.
However, Xu Yi helplessly smiled and said, "Miss Wanwan, no need to worry about me... My father predicted this outcome when Si Mingli returned, so he swallowed his pride and was the first to pledge fealty to Si Mingli, along with the entire Xu family..."
"I was also forced to swear to be loyal to Si Mingli against my conscience. Hence, Si Mingli treats the Xu family quite well and isn't harsh on us."
Ye Wanwan nodded when she heard Xu Yi's explanation. This was actually a fairly smart method. Since Si Mingli dared to return, Xu Yi had to be well-prepared.
"Now, Si Mingli teamed up with the Qin family and took complete control of the Si family... The current Si family is under Si Mingli and Qin Ruoxi's rule... This nearly irreversible situation can only be resolved if Ninth Master returns," Xu family said with a sigh.
It was easier said than done. Si Yehan had disappeared for so many days already. He would've already been found if he could be found. Even Xu Yi wondered whether an accident happened to Si Yehan, and if he was dead already...
"I understand. You'll have a big burden for a while. You mustn't act rashly in the Si family. It'd be best if you had a chance to take Grandmother out... As for Ah-Jiu, I'll look for him," Ye Wanwan said after some contemplation.
Whether it was for her background, the current situation in the Si family, or herself... she needed to find Si Yehan.
"Miss Wanwan, Si Mingli is still busy cleaning the mess in the Si family right now, so he shouldn't have time to do anything to you..." Xu Yi looked at Ye Wanwan. "However, after Si Mingli stabilizes things in the Si family, I'm afraid he won't spare you. It'd be best for you to leave this place and find a place to wait out the storm."
"No need to worry about me. I'll be careful." Ye Wanwan gave Xu Yi a smile for his kind reminder.
Heh, so many people wanted her life. One more wouldn't matter.
