Smiling faintly, Sia neither agreed nor declined.
not minding Sia's lack of response, Xiao Li looked into her eyes and continued to speak "According to my understanding, you would never do anything dangerous without asking for our opinion. So If my guess is correct, you purposefully brought us along not to have fun but with some other motive...am I right?"
After hearing Xiao Li's explanation, Su Yan and An Ran looked at Sia in shock.
Seconds passed but Sia remained smiling. It was only after a few seconds did Sia finally open her mouth to speak "Yes! you are right. I did not bring you guys along just to have fun"
"Why did you bring us here? what was your motive?" Xiao Li asked with a frown
"To let you guys experience and learn something new. To be more precise, I wanted you to understand and be prepared because sooner or later, you will have to face situations similar to this" Sia explained seriously
This was their first time seeing Sia look so serious and for some reason, their heart started to race anxiously.
"What...what do you mean?" An Ran stuttered.
Glancing at their anxious face, Sia replied calmly "As you all know, the five boys are part of the underworld and if my guess is right then they might belong to a big organization and as their partner, you are now their weakness. Just to threaten the boys, they might use you as the bait so I just want you girls to prepare yourself"
Furrowing her brows, Su Yan asked "But as per my knowledge, underworld restricts people from hurting one's family because of their animosity, don't they?"
Nodding her head, Sia agreed "Indeed, the underworld does have a rule like that but at the same time, to make it easy for them they also have an exception"
"What is that exception?" An Ran asked curiously
"They cannot hurt family but can hurt their partner. If a person wants then he can kidnap his enemies partner and threaten him or maybe even kill the partner just to take revenge. This is the rule of the underworld and this is also the sole reason why Lu Jin had broken up with you the previous time"
Shocked, An Ran and Su Yan gasped.
"Now that your partner is a part of the underworld, your life is also in line. Though I know that the boys will try their best to protect you, it doesn't mean that you are safe. Sometimes you will have to depend on yourself if you want to protect your self as well as your loved ones"
Shaking her head, Sia turned to Xiao Li and replied calmly "No, You're wrong. It's very useful for you too and infact you are the one who should know about it more than An Ran and Su Yan. When compared to An Ran and Su Yan, your case is quite different. While An Ran and Su Yan might be implicated because of their partners, you will be implicated because of yourself"
furrowing her brows, Xiao Li narrowed her eyes and asked " What do you mean?"
With a faint smile on her face, Sia leaned on the chair and said "Do you remember what your step sister said you a few days back?"
Thinking for a moment, Xiao Li nodded her head and said "I remember. She asked me to return back home but didn't I reject her then and there?"
Raising her brows, Sia asked "So what if you rejected her? does it mean she will let you alone?"
"Will she not?"
With a faint smile, Sia continued to say "A few days back I overheard a conversation between your step sister and her friend. Your step sister was saying to the girl that a certain head of an underworld organization when he was young had fallen in love with a college student who was older than him but that student rejected him and ran away her lover. Coincidentally, your stepmother was his old lover. Now your stepmother wants to gift that woman's daughter to please him"
Seeing the change in Xiao Li's expression, Sia chuckled and said "yes, you have guessed it right. That woman is your mother and her daughter whom your stepmother wants to gift is you"
"this...why...why should my life turn out like this. What have I done to make me suffer like this? I lost my family, lost my mother and now I'm all on my own working hard to live each day but still...why-why?" Xiao Li asked to herself in despair.
Patting Xiao Li's hand gently, Sia smiled and said "Li Li, you're not alone, we are all there with you. No matter what, until I'm next to you no one can do you any harm but... if you want to get rid of your miserable life, you can only work hard and get strong. Only then can you defeat them"
Nodding her head, Xiao Li wiped off her tears and said "I understand. Tell me, what should I do from now on?"
"Nothing, you guys will just have to follow my instructions and do as I say" Sia declared seriously but then her expression suddenly changed when she saw the waiter carrying a few plates in her hand. Rubbing her hand, she licked her lips and said "But before that....let me fill my stomach"
"...."
