My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband-Chapter 784 Dinner 1

As expected, Sheng Liuyun had no sooner received the news than he eagerly took a screenshot and posted it in a certain WeChat group.

Sheng Liuyun: "Something’s happened! Take a look, @Si Lisao."

Lu Jinyi: "This is sensational. Is it real?"

Sheng Liuyun: "The Ye Family is holding a wedding today. The news came from a journalist live-streaming the event on-site. It can’t be completely baseless. As for its truth, I’m afraid we’ll have to ask our little sister."

Lu Jinyi said, "I’ll call her right now. This isn’t an ordinary matter."

Lu Jinyi decisively made a video call to Si Mingjing.

Si Mingjing was still in the living room when she answered the video call. Lu Jinyi immediately pressed, "Little sis, is it true? There’s news that Ye Siyuan is having health issues?"

At this moment, Quan Qiuyuan, Geshu Tang, and Yong Shifeng had not yet left the living room.

Si Mingjing’s eyes flickered. She lazily lifted her gaze and denied it, "Where did you hear that?"

"It’s not true? The news has even spread to the Mu Continent! They say it was leaked by a journalist live-streaming the Ye Family wedding. Little sis, you can’t hide this kind of thing. Lisao is your own brother."

Si Mingjing maintained her denial. "It’s just a rumor. Besides, you know my medical skills. Even if there *were* an issue, would it really be a problem I couldn’t handle?"

The more vehemently she denied it, the more convinced Quan Qiuyuan, Geshu Tang, and Yong Shifeng became that she was trying to cover something up.

"Hahaha, that seems right. Little sis’s medical skills are miraculous; we were just overthinking things."

Lu Jinyi was quickly pacified.

Si Mingjing then said, "Rumors are harmful. Help me tell Sheng Liuyun to have his company’s social media platform stop their spread and block this topic. We need to prevent the public, who don’t know the truth, from being misled."

Lu Jinyi readily agreed, "Okay, no problem."

After hanging up, Si Mingjing comforted Ye Siyuan. "Siyuan, don’t worry. The online news will be dealt with soon. Trust me. Don’t panic for now; we’ll figure out the rest."

Ye Siyuan threw herself into Si Mingjing’s arms. "Sister-in-law, thank you."

Quan Qiuyuan, Geshu Tang, and Yong Shifeng maintained loyal expressions, but once they left, they all sneered inwardly.

If the Second Princess’s health issues are confirmed, trying to completely cover it up is pure wishful thinking! This marriage between the Second Princess and Si Lisao is thoroughly over!

However, the thought of stopping this marriage by ruining the Second Princess didn’t sit well with the three of them.

They would have much preferred for the Second Princess to marry into one of their families and bear little Mermaids. To destroy what one cannot obtain—how ruthless, yet how helpless! Fortunately, Atlantis still has a Mermaid Prince, Ye Shen! As long as he has descendants, the Sea God Mermaids of Atlantis can be passed down from generation to generation! Now, what we need to do is expose Song Tangtang’s condition. She also took those diet pills and is now infertile. Then, to continue the lineage, the Third Prince Ye Shen will have to remarry. We each have daughters of marriageable age. While we can’t bring a Princess into our own families, having our daughters marry into the royal family is an excellent alternative!

After the three men left, Ye Siyuan sat on the sofa, hugging a throw pillow and not saying a word. Her complexion was genuinely very poor; it wasn’t an act.

She was afraid that Si Lisao, upon hearing the rumors, would choose to reject her. Even though she wasn’t really sick—it was all just an act for outsiders. She was itching to call Si Lisao and tell him the truth, yet part of her wanted to hold back and see just how much he truly cared for her. But, as they say, one shouldn’t test a man. Never test a man, or you’ll live to regret it.

The more conflicted Ye Siyuan felt, the deeper her delicate eyebrows furrowed.

Ye Xinguang thought her daughter was upset because of her supposed health condition and tried to comfort her.

Seeing her parents’ anxious expressions, Ye Siyuan forced a smile and explained, "Dad, Mom, don’t worry. I’m fine; I’m perfectly healthy. What I did just now was an act for those three men to see. I can have children."

Now, it was Ye Siyuan’s turn to comfort her parents.

Ye Xinguang, taken aback, asked, "What do you mean?"

Ye Siyuan explained everything to her parents.

Ye Xinguang chided, "You children! Always doing things without letting us know beforehand, deliberately making your father and me worry. It’s simply outrageous!"

Ye Siyuan playfully stuck out her tongue, hugged Ye Xinguang’s arm, and leaned her head against her shoulder. "Mom, before today, I didn’t know who was trying to harm me either. I only just found out and didn’t have time to tell you."

Ye Junqing sat on an armchair sipping tea, then slammed his teacup down heavily on the coffee table. He was furious. If it weren’t for Yangyang, my daughter and daughter-in-law might have already... He absolutely could not tolerate this!

Ye Junqing said in a cold voice, "The weather is turning cold. I think those three families can no longer be allowed to exist!"

"Dad, I understand," Mo Yinhe replied, his dangerous dark eyes narrowing, his sharp, cunning brow exuding a chilling aura.

"They are courting their own destruction. I shall grant them their wish!"

Mo Yinhe had always wanted to eliminate dissidents. However, the six great families were deeply entrenched, and he was unwilling to earn the infamous reputation of ’discarding the bow once the birds are gone, cooking the hounds once the cunning rabbits are dead.’ But today’s incident was different; these three families had held a knife to their own throats! In that case, they couldn’t blame him for bringing his blade down! They hadn’t just schemed against his sister; they had attacked the very faith of the people of Atlantis! Just as the Dragon Clan was sacred and inviolable on the Mu Continent, Mermaids in Atlantis were equally sacrosanct. Anyone who dared to harm a Mermaid was beyond saving!

Mo Yinhe’s piercing, cold eyes narrowed slightly, a chilling smile playing on his lips. "They think Siyuan can no longer conceive, so they’ll undoubtedly try to broadcast this news far and wide. And then there’s Tangtang..."

Their next move will definitely target Tangtang, Mo Yinhe believed.

"Dad, Mom," he continued, "we can bide our time for now and let them be smug a little longer. The more this situation escalates, the less tolerance the public will have for the culprits. That will be the moment of their downfall. It just means Siyuan and Tangtang will have to endure some gossip and rumors for a few days."

"Brother, I’m not afraid!" Ye Siyuan declared defiantly. "I can handle it. I’ll call Tangtang and tell her."

Mo Yinhe nodded.

Once they had reached an agreement, Si Mingjing stayed behind to keep Ye Siyuan company. Mo Yinhe and his parents left the East Garden to continue with the wedding preparations.

「Two hours later」

The wedding banquet officially began.

Ye Siyuan had redone her makeup and changed her clothes, heading to the banquet hall with Si Mingjing. She had twisted her ankle, so she wore flat shoes instead of high heels and walked with a limp, needing Si Mingjing’s support. She had also deliberately applied her makeup to look haggard, yet wore bright red lipstick, as if her attempt to appear strong only highlighted her distress.

Si Mingjing helped her to a seat at a table next to the main one. After sitting down, Ye Siyuan remained silent, quietly gazing at the wedding stage. Her eyes held a lost expression, as if she were pondering whether she would ever have a wedding of her own.

In any case, everyone could see she was in a terrible state. If it weren’t her own brother’s wedding, an event she couldn’t miss, she probably wouldn’t have wanted to appear before everyone at all.
