Chapter 11: Wanting Both the White Moonlight and the Red Rose

Page (1/3)

Si Haochen felt nothing amiss. A pitiful adopted daughter who had suffered endless bullying in the Yun family—if it weren’t for his favor three years ago, she wouldn’t even have a decent piece of clothing now.

She really thought she was the Yun family’s lady.

Si Haochen was displeased by Yun Chuxia’s defiance but still patiently said, “Whatever Su Muxue has, you will have too. I would never treat you unfairly.”

The chat exploded with comments: [What is the male lead saying?] [Can someone who knows the original story explain what he’s trying to do?] [Too many changes, might as well watch it as a new drama.]

If not for the precious nature of this job, Yun Chuxia would have slapped him right then and there.

Her eyes and brows were laden with contempt, her tone icy cold: “Si Haochen, I am ashamed to have ever liked you.”

With that, she pushed the door and left.

Si Haochen pressed his tongue against his cheek, his face dark as he smashed the coffee cup on the table.

He had come with good intentions to make peace, yet she dared to refuse and force him to drink the bitter wine.

He picked up his phone and made several calls.

“Remove Yun Corporation from the list of Si Group’s suppliers.”

“If Yun Hongbin asks, just say it’s because he gave birth to a good-for-nothing daughter!”

Though without Yun Chuxia, the Yun family would never enter the Si Group’s radar, Yun Hongbin would surely blame Yun Chuxia for everything.

Without his protection, the Yun family would torment her without restraint.

Back then, she lived worse than a servant in the Yun household. If that had continued, it would be one thing, but once a person has tasted the good life, returning to hardship becomes unbearable.

With no relatives or allies and nowhere to turn, in the end, she would have no choice but to come to him.

Si Haochen watched Yun Chuxia’s retreating figure, his eyes full of determination.

The white moonlight and the red rose—he wanted them both.

Comments flooded in: [Starting to feel sorry for the secondary female lead; so far, she hasn’t done anything wrong.] [Is she going to be abused? The male lead has already targeted the Yun family. That money-grubbing scumbag father will definitely ruin her.]

Yun Chuxia’s steps faltered.

She really might be killed by Yun Hongbin, or be confined within the Yun household. She would lose not just her job, but her freedom as well. There was even the possibility they’d secretly marry her off to some wealthy old man as a concubine.

She looked at the pinned chat with “Mr. Si” on WeChat and sent him a message:

“I helped salvage the Si family’s reputation—how will you thank me?”

Si Yuchuan replied instantly: “What do you want?”

Yun Chuxia bit her lip: “I’ll come find you tonight (heart).”

Si Yuchuan: “What are you trying to use me for this time?”

Yun Chuxia: “Hehe, just borrowing your driver.”

Yun Hongbin threw a huge tantrum.

Everything was lost—

The marriage alliance with the Si family, the cooperation with Si Group, and the impending investment—all gone up in smoke.

It was all Yun Chuxia’s fault for daring to run away from the wedding. If she dared to come back, he would beat her to death.

Rarely did Yun Qingqing refrain from adding fuel to the fire; instead, she was entranced, holding her phone and desperately searching for news about Si Yuchuan.

There was little information online; the few photos available were blurry.

Yun Qingqing paid a high price to obtain several unpublished film negatives from media contacts, saving them and setting them as her phone’s screensaver.

How could someone be so devastatingly handsome? Truly a dream man.

She glanced at her irate father, Yun Hongbin, suddenly feeling disdain for him.

“He’s just Si Haochen, what’s so great about him?”

Tossing her hair provocatively, she said, “I’ll handle Si Yuchuan. Don’t worry, Dad, the Yun family’s good days are still ahead.”

Zhang Ma, the Yun family’s maid, came in nervously. Always intimidated by this family, she stammered even more when she saw Yun Hongbin raging.

“Th-the young lady has returned.”
