Rebirth: Divorcing the Billionaire-Chapter 442 - 440: He Really Is Sick

"Si Yuhuan, can we negotiate? Release me, give me back my freedom, and I can ensure the Jian Group won’t target you!"

Si Yuhuan’s eyes were cold and he looked at her as if she were an idiot.

Jian Xi felt as if she had been insulted.

She suppressed the anger in her chest, clenched her fists tightly, and reminded herself that harmony brings wealth. Even if not for herself, she had to consider the entire Yaowang Group, from employees to higher-ups, and avoid losing the big picture over trivial matters.

"This way, you don’t need to meet those snobs anymore! Think about how glorious the Haohan Group was back then, and it fell to this state because of your arrogance. You despised the Jian Group and the Tianyao Group, and these are the consequences!"

Si Yuhuan let out a cold laugh, "Are you trying to mock me as you speak?"

Jian Xi pressed her lips together; she was just speaking instinctively...

"Just speaking the truth. If you don’t want to hear it, I won’t say it." She changed the subject, "Give my people back to me, let me go, and I’ll make my brother stop immediately. How about that?"

"From now on, we won’t interfere with each other’s affairs..."

The man suddenly leapt forward, pinning her body down.

Jian Xi could hear her heart pounding wildly.

She felt suffocated, her eyes widened as she looked at the handsome face close to her, many memories resurfaced. She tightened her fists, pushing against his solid chest.

"Let them come! If they can really take me down, then I commend their skills!" Si Yuhuan’s voice was as sharp as ice.

He’s always been so arrogant!

Jian Xi took a deep breath, "Wouldn’t it be better to lay down arms and go our separate ways? Haven’t you heard it’s better to resolve enmity than keep it going? I’ve let go of everything you owe me, what more do you want?"

Si Yuhuan squinted his cold eyes; Jian Xi didn’t want to provoke him into anger, creating an irreconcilable situation that the Yaowang Group couldn’t handle.

"Let me deal with the matters of the group first, whatever grudges we have, we can settle them later. Just consider it as a plea from me, okay?" Jian Xi sounded exhausted, speaking sullenly.

Si Yuhuan got up and coughed. Under the bright white light of the incandescent lamp, his face looked bloodlessly pale.

Unable to contain it, he coughed again.

Blood nearly spilled from his mouth, but he swallowed it back down.

Watching the man run out in panic, Jian Xi was at a loss.

Did she say something wrong?

When Si Yuhuan ran out, Yan Qing, who was waiting outside, quickly went over, "What’s wrong?"

With a sputter—

Si Yuhuan spat out another mouthful of blood.

"Doctor! Get a doctor quickly!"

Yan Qing shouted.

Soon, a doctor came over and took Si Yuhuan to the treatment room.

He looked back at the door of the ward, "Do not let her out of my sight."

"Understood!"

Yan Qing immediately assigned a few bodyguards to guard her.

Jian Xi was furious inside.

She had been put under house arrest!

Could Si Yuhuan be any more shameless!

"Bastard, let me out!"

No matter how hard she banged on the door, the bodyguards outside would say, "Director Si’s orders cannot be disobeyed. Ms. Jian, please calm down so as not to disturb others’ rest."

Moral coercion?

Jian Xi laughed out of anger!

It was indeed late at night, and she shouldn’t be making a racket.

"Where’s Si Yuhuan? Let him come out and see me!"

She had just heard Yan Qing outside shouting for a doctor; could it be that something had happened to Si Yuhuan?

The bodyguards remained silent!

"Fine, if you won’t speak, I have my ways of finding out."

She quickly put down her phone, thought it over, then threw it back on the bed, angrily smashing a pillow to vent her frustration.

"You’re just bullying me on purpose!"

He guessed she wouldn’t tell her brother or Wan Yu about this trivial matter, to avoid worrying her family or the group.

Both angry and tired, she felt exhausted and fell asleep on the bed without knowing when.

In her dreams, Mingming kept shouting, "Mommy, save me, I miss China, I want to go home."

Suddenly, Jian Xi awoke from the bed in shock.

Looking around, her memories came back, and she clutched her chest, feeling her heart unbearably sad.

Even though the child had been saved and was with her parents, why did she still feel so upset!

Jian Xi almost immediately took out her phone to video call her mom.

The call was quickly connected.

"What’s wrong, Xixi?" Her mom knew that recently Yaowang Group had some issues, causing quite a stir online. She and her dad were very worried but didn’t know how to help. Instead, Huang Ying advised them not to meddle too much, saying that children and grandchildren have their own fortunes and they should just focus on taking care of the kids without interfering too much with other matters.

Huang Ying’s words made sense, and Jian Xi’s mom didn’t want to have conflicts with Jian Xi, so she pretended not to know anything.

Let her daughter deal with these troublesome matters on her own.

Anyway, with the entire Jian Family backing her, she wasn’t worried that her daughter couldn’t manage to clean up the mess.

So what if they lose Yaowang?

"How’s Mingming?"

Originally, she was asking about the child.

Hearing Jian Xi’s anxious tone, she smiled and replied, "He’s eating well, sleeping well, the little guy is playing cognitive games with the nanny, and Huang Ying is also seriously giving him psychological counseling. You can see he’s getting healthier. He had a check-up yesterday, and many indicators have already met the standards. These days he’s been playing with Qianqian, crawling and playing with toys, super cute."

After saying that, she showed Jian Xi the adorable scene of Mingming sleeping.

Jian Xi took a deep breath, and finally, her tightly clenched heart was able to relax.

Yet, for some reason, she still felt very uncomfortable.

As if the child was still in someone else’s hands, not by her side.

This made Jian Xi wonder if she had postpartum depression.

Every day she imagined her child getting hurt, feeling powerless, torturing herself with severe mental exhaustion.

"Xixi, are you okay?" Her mom was very worried about her.

"Don’t worry, everything’s fine, the group’s matters will be resolved soon, and then our family will never be separated again, always together."

Her mom repeatedly agreed.

Jian Xi took another look at Qianqian, only then did she hang up the call, satisfied.

She felt guilty towards the children.

She gave birth to them, gave them life, yet failed to fulfill her responsibilities as a mother to raise and accompany them.

Thinking about this, Jian Xi burst into tears.

Si Yuhuan had just finished his IV drip, and as he was about to return to his room to rest, he came in and saw Jian Xi wiping her tears.

He clutched his chest, frowning tightly.

Jian Xi glanced up at him, hurriedly wiping her tears dry.

"When will you let me go?"

Was she crying over this matter?

"You can’t leave yet."

Jian Xi was angry, "Why? How long do you plan to keep me under house arrest?"

She ignored everything and charged forward to hit Si Yuhuan.

Yan Qing entered from outside and quickly rushed forward to stop her.

"Madam, Madam, please have mercy, Director Si has coughed up blood again. If you continue, it will kill him."

Coughing up blood?

Jian Xi frowned.

Si Yuhuan’s overall state indeed looked very poor; not only was his face bloodless and pale, but he also looked very weak.

Apparently, it was true that Yan Qing said he was ill!
