Si Lianye laughed: "Thank you for your encouragement. "I will work hard."

After that, he hung up the phone, Shen Xiran's face was filled with confusion, what did she say, what motivation?

After thinking for a long time, he could not think of anything. He shook his head and felt that Si Lianye was becoming weirder and weirder.

She didn't know why, but when she thought back to what he had said about not seeing him for one day and not three years, she felt a sweet feeling rising from the bottom of her heart.

On the other hand, the atmosphere on Si Lianye's side wasn't that good.

Just as he hung up the phone, someone behind her asked: "A Ye, who are you calling?"

His expression immediately turned cold. He looked at his mother behind him and vaguely said, "A friend."

Imperial Mother walked over with an unfriendly expression. "I don't care what kind of friend you are, as long as you aren't a girlfriend, it's fine."

Impatience flashed across Si Lianye's heart, she looked at Imperial Mother and said: "I got it, do you have any other instructions? If not, I'm leaving. "

The expression in her son's eyes was extremely cold, almost identical to Si Lianye's: "Of course I have something to tell you. You don't want to go back home tomorrow, I have an uncle who is coming to see you, please receive him for me."

Hearing that, Si Lianye's lips revealed a cold smile, "Uncle Shi? Is it a person, or a family? "

Clearly, he already understood his mother's plan.

A trace of unease flashed across Imperial Mother's face, "A whole family, but there are only three of them. It won't be tiring for you to receive them. Don't worry."

"Let me guess, it should be a couple with a daughter their age?" Si Lianye folded her arms across her chest and looked at her with blazing eyes.

Imperial Mother's mind was hit on her head and she became angry from embarrassment, "So what if I am? You are my son, would I harm you? That uncle's daughter is not bad, I have met her before, she is your type. Stay at home tomorrow and don't go. "

In fact, she could be considered to have thought it through with a lot of effort, but Si Lianye refused to accept it.

He stared at his mother for a long time before saying, "I thought you wanted to get me and Zimo together, but now it seems like I was wrong?"

Imperial Mother's face was filled with anger: "It's already been a few years, but you're still so indifferent to her. If it wasn't for you being my son, I would have already introduced her another man. You... "You're really pissing me off …"

In the past few years, she had already known how Si Lianye felt. Even if he stubbornly refused to change her personality, no one would be able to move him. Furthermore, at that time, she was indeed at fault, so she didn't try hard to persuade him to find another woman to marry.

Firstly, it was out of guilt. Secondly, she didn't want to admit it. After what happened five years ago, her son no longer listened to her.

There was nothing she could do to him now except occasionally use her mother's dignity and pleas to make him hear a little.

However, at that time, I was also forced to do so because of what I did. I wanted to treat her well later on, but she ran away in the end, and I was already trying to make up for my mistake. A Ye, why are you still not willing to forgive Mother?

coldly looked at her mother. "Mom, sometimes it's impossible to make up for a mistake. What you've destroyed, is her entire body and hope in her life, and no amount of money can make up for that."

With that, he turned and left, completely ignoring his mother's pale face.

Five years ago, she had exhausted all the family affection in his heart. The only reason he could calm down and face her now was only because he still had a sliver of longing for his mother in his heart.

Imperial Mother stood where she was with a dark and uncertain face. Hesitating for a moment, she gritted her teeth and shouted at him, "If you don't receive them tomorrow, then don't recognize me as your mother!"

Si Lianye acted as if she did not hear it, and slowly walked up the stairs.

Imperial Mother looked at her son's cold and detached appearance, she was extremely furious. She grabbed onto her chest and took a few deep breaths, then her entire body fell backwards.

"Madam, Old Mistress!"

"Quick, help Madam up …"

When Si Lianye found out that her mother had once again fainted from anger, her expression changed, and she replied: "I understand."

Other than that, he didn't say anything else. The messenger looked at his face, not daring to say anything as he slowly retreated.

He rubbed his tired brow in the study chair.

Her former self was so naive and innocent, always thinking that the world was filled with kind people, always thinking that there was no shadow under the sun. However, in the end, she got mercilessly hit by her most beloved man.

He sighed deeply.

At this moment, there was a light knock on the door.

He raised his voice and called out, "Come in."

An elderly figure appeared at the door.

He was stunned: "Mr. Ren."

Mr. Ren was her family's old housekeeper. He watched him grow up, and at the same time, he understood the matters between him and her mother the best.

He remembered the news he had just heard and roughly understood the purpose of Mr. Ren's visit.

He walked in and said hoarsely, "Looks like I'm disturbing young master's peace and quiet."

Si Lianye shook her head: "No, I have nothing better to do, what business do you have with me?"

Facing an old man who watched him grow up, he was still very respectful.

Mr. Ren smiled, his face wrinkled like a chrysanthemum. "I'm old, I just want to talk to someone. If Young Master is busy, forget it."

"It's fine, I was just bored." Si Lianye slowly said.

He smiled again and said to him, "The main reason I came to see you was to tell you that I might be moving out next month."

Si Lianye frowned, he remembered that Mr. Ren had been a part of the Si Family for more than thirty years, with no children by his side and no relatives.

Mr. Ren slowly explained, "I had an older brother who was lost in those bad years. Didn't I go back to my hometown last month? When I saw him, he looked exactly the same as my brother, so I recognized him. He said that if I don't have a son, he will be treated as my son, and he will help me with my old age in the future. I thought so, and since that's the case, I agreed that he would come and pick me up next month. "

"Congratulations then. Actually, we don't need him to raise you. Our Si Family can also …" Si Lianye wanted to persuade him. After all, the Mr. Ren had been a Si Family for his entire life, and they would not have any problem raising him. However, that nephew of his had already made such a decision after merely meeting him once.

The Mr. Ren sighed and said, "You, ah, are still young, and don't understand the hearts of the older people, we, ah, have seen and enjoyed for our entire lives, and have seen everything that is open to the eye, just the feelings of kinship in our hearts, ah, we just can't understand. Every night when I close my eyes, I think back to the times when I was young, and my old home as well.

Mr. Ren looked at Si Lianye, and then said sincerely: "Actually, when a person is old, he will always place extra importance on kinship, and place great importance on family members. For example, my nephew, even though I have only seen him once, I know that he is really related to me by blood. Just based on this point, I would rather believe that he would treat me well.

Si Lianye nodded: "I understand what you mean."

Mr. Ren looked at his calm expression and sighed softly: "I watched you grow up, watched your father die, personally witnessed a woman like your mother painstakingly lifting Yun Ye up and then handing him to you, she is not an easy person. A Ye, you can't just not forgive her just because she did something wrong, she is your mother after all …"

When he finished speaking, he looked at Si Lianye's calm face and sighed: "I'm old and I'm about to leave again, so I thought about speaking up for her before I left.

After he finished speaking, he struggled to stand up. Without waiting for Si Lianye's reply, he walked outside, trembling as if he was about to fall over.

Si Lianye quickly supported him up and he thanked her in a low voice. She patted Si Lianye's hands lightly and said, "Think about it carefully about my words.

Then she gently pushed him away and left.

Only Si Lianye was left standing there, her lips pressed into a straight line.

The lights in the study were on all night.

The next day, he stayed behind and did not return. Imperial Mother was overjoyed, thinking that his son had finally submitted, he immediately called for his good friend and family to come over.

On the other hand, Shen Xiran who was at the side felt it to be strange. After working for a while, he did not see Si Lianye around, and while guessing, Si Lianye had already called him: "I'm not back yet."

"Alright." She did not know why, but from his simple words, she could tell that he was really upset, as if something was bothering him.

"There's more." He paused and then said, "Prepare yourself for a banquet tonight."

"Banquet? Me? " She was surprised.

"Yes, I will come pick you up tonight. Prepare yourself." With that, he hung up the phone.

She held her cell phone in a daze. Banquet? What's the nature of it? Do you have any customers you'd like to contact recently? Why didn't she hear any wind?

She was working absent-mindedly, and even secretly contacted the people Shangguan Zhe had hired, but the end result was that the company was calm and nothing happened.

So this banquet is private?

Could she not go?
