The Si family had a long history in C Nation. Although they couldn't be compared to Family He, who had been around for thousands of years, they were still the elders of other families.
However, it wasn't a good thing for a family to be around for too long because it meant that they had to abide by a lot of rules.
After arriving at the Si residence.
Even Si Yu's breathing became heavier. It was as if the air had become oppressive as soon as she stepped into this area.
She walked into the central mansion of the Si family.
The first thing she saw was a young man with a scholarly face. When he saw Si Lijue, he was stunned. He smiled. "Third brother, you're back. Everyone's here except for you."
This man was called Si Ming. He was also Old Master Si's illegitimate son.
After Madam Si's son passed away, she couldn't conceive for a period of time. Hence, Old Master Si brought his illegitimate son back.
That's right. Old Master Si was merciful everywhere. Naturally, Si Lijue wasn't the only illegitimate son. However, he was the most special one. He used thunderous methods to crush his other brothers and became the leader of the Si family financial group. However, this didn't mean that Si Lijue could sit back and relax. The Si family didn't have any descendants.
They didn't have any ambition.
Even the gentle Si Ming in front of her was the same.
Under his elegant appearance, he might be hoping to find Si Lijue's weakness and suppress him in one fell swoop.
It could be said that Si Lijue was treading on thin ice. He couldn't afford to make any mistakes. This was also the reason why He Sijie mocked Si Lijue. His situation wasn't as smooth as it seemed on the surface. It was full of danger.
Being together with Xia An 'an would definitely cause a huge uproar in the Si family.
"Little sister, long time no see."
Si Ming also greeted Si Yu.
Si Yu saw Si Ming and nodded weakly. She also greeted him. "Hello, second brother."
"Haha, you're still so afraid of me."
Si Ming laughed helplessly.
Si Yu rolled her eyes. How could she not be afraid? When she was in the Si family, this man brought others to bully her. Although it had been a long time, Si Yu still remembered it in her heart.
The three of them went to the dining room.
There were many family members inside. Every one of them had a noble air. Even when gathered together, they didn't feel like a family. Instead, they all had their own ulterior motives.
"Jue 'er, you're finally back. Everyone's waiting for you..
Old Madam Si smiled elegantly and waved at Si Lijue. "Come and sit down."
. "Si Lijue turned to Si Yu... Si Yu was still a little hesitant. She looked at Old Madam Si. When this woman first adopted her, she treated her well for a period of time, but that was when she was a baby, so Si Yu had no memory of it at all. When she regained consciousness, Old Madam Si was already pregnant with her younger daughter, so she directly threw her to the servants.
She had no one to feed her, so she had been living a miserable life before Si Lijue arrived. She knew that Old Madam Si didn't like her, so she might be disliked if she followed her.
"Don't be afraid."
Si Lijue said.
Si Yu mustered up her courage and followed Si Lijue.
As expected, when Eldest Madam Si saw Si Yu, a trace of indifference and disdain flashed across her eyes, but she still maintained the aloofness that an aristocrat should have. After everyone was seated, the head of the household, Old Master Si, finally arrived.

Everyone was very quiet during the meal. They did not speak when they were eating. No one spoke. It was a deathly silence.
Suddenly, Old Master Si spoke. He spoke in a calm voice, "Jue 'er."
Si Lijue stopped and looked at his biological father. "Father, what's the matter?"
