Seeing that he had given up, Su Niannian immediately stuffed the gift box into her bosom, afraid that Si Lijue would try to take it from her again.

Immediately afterwards, she gave him a disapproving look without any politeness, and said confidently, "Who says I don't like it? I love this set of jewelry to bits."

Besides, I kept this set of jewelry to build up a family fortune for our son.

If you keep squandering money like this, I'm afraid that by the time our son turns twenty, you'll have squandered the entire family fortune.

"If you, as Xibao's biological father, don't think about him, then as his biological mother, I have to plan for his future."

That's simply unreasonable and shameless.

Si Lijue's face turned completely dark. "Who said I'm wasteful and don't consider his feelings?"

You can rest assured, once he turns twenty, I'll have him come and inherit the family business.

He works hard every day to earn money, but in the end, he becomes a spendthrift?

Is there no justice left in this world?

Besides, he himself returned to the company to inherit the family business after he turned twenty. His unreliable father only cared about traveling the world with his wife and didn't care at all whether he was still in college.

Si Lijue was studying at university while returning to the company to learn how to manage the business until he graduated. Those days were incredibly tough for him.

When Xi Bao turns twenty, he will carry on the traditional virtues of the Si family and let his son taste the suffering he once endured.

Su Niannian was not confused at all at the crucial moment. She pointed at Si Lijue and said, "You're only twenty years old and you're letting my son manage the company. What are you doing here?"

"Si Lijue, are you Huang Shiren or Zhou Bapi? What kind of father are you?"

Si Lijue said seriously with a serious expression, "This is the rule of our Si family. The eldest son and grandson of the family must take over the company after the age of twenty."

"Twenty years old and still not graduated from university! What kind of bullshit rule is this? Your Si family ancestors were truly heartless!"

"Can't you just change this ridiculous rule?" Su Niannian couldn't help but complain.

She felt sorry for her son. Whenever she thought about how Xibao had to juggle his studies with learning how to do business, she regretted agreeing to give Xibao to Si Lijue to raise.

Si Lijue remained unmoved. "The men of the Si family are not afraid of difficulties and dangers. Xibao is my son, and my blood flows in his veins. If I can overcome it, he can overcome it too."

Su Niannian hesitated for a moment, "Is it possible that Xibao isn't your son?"

She didn't want her son to suffer in the future, so she figured she had to make it clear to Si Lijue that Xibao wasn't his child at all, so that Xibao could get away from Si Lijue as soon as possible.

If she takes Xibao away, Xibao won't have to suffer like that.

With a sharp "smack," Si Lijue took the contents of the file folder out and slammed it down in front of Su Niannian. "Can you read this document to me and tell me what it is?"

"You have hands, you can read it yourself, why do you insist on making me read it? You're so pretentious!"

Having just received eight hundred million worth of jewelry from him, Su Niannian didn't dare say those words aloud; she could only curse him silently in her heart to vent her anger.

She immediately picked up the document, opened it, and was about to read it when she saw that it was a paternity test result, which showed that Xi Bao and Si Li Jue were biologically father and son.

She couldn't read a single word and stood there, too afraid to say anything more.

"Why aren't you reading? Don't you know how to read?" Si Lijue said sternly, warning in a cold voice, "If you ever spread rumors that Xibao isn't my son again, I'll skin you alive if I find out."

Su Niannian immediately cowered like a frightened little rabbit.

She instinctively shrank her neck, her face showing fear and unease, and lowered her gaze, not daring to meet Si Lijue's eyes.

She muttered cautiously, with a hint of grievance, "Fine, I won't say it then... Don't be so fierce, okay? You're scaring me to death."

Si Lijue listened to her barely audible hum and saw her biting her lip, looking so pitiful. His heart softened for no reason, and he couldn't bring himself to be angry with her. Even the coldness around him subsided.

He strolled leisurely up to Su Niannian, palm up, and uttered two words casually: "Give it to me!"

Su Niannian stuffed the jewelry box into her arms, afraid that Si Lijue would snatch her treasure, and shook her head like a rattle drum.

"No, no, this is what I left for Xibao to get married in the future. Once it's in my hands, it's mine. You can't take it back."

Si Lijue rested his index finger on his temple, glancing down at her. "I've said it before, I don't need you to help Xibao save up her savings."

Moreover, not only will I not squander his wealth, but I will also help him accumulate more wealth.

Su Niannian is not easily fooled; she is very vigilant.

She didn't know where she got the courage, but she raised her head, her eyes wide open, and stared directly into Si Lijue's eyes.

"Since you don't need me to help your son save up his wealth, why do you still want me to hand over the jewelry?"

Si Lijue sighed helplessly, "I just wanted to help you put it on and see if it looked good?"

Su Niannian pushed his hand away, "No need to wear it, it looks 100% good."

"So confident?" Si Lijue asked with a smile in his eyes.

Su Niannian said smugly, "Of course! Who told me to be so good-looking? Naturally, I look good no matter what I wear."

"How vain of you!" Si Lijue said sarcastically.

Su Niannian argued firmly: "This is the truth, not vanity."

Seeing how much she treasured the jewelry, Si Lijue stopped insisting on having her put it on to see how it looked, and instead put his hands in his pockets, saying, "Whatever you want!"

Su Niannian scratched her head sheepishly, "Well... you go ahead and do your work! I won't bother you anymore." With that, she turned to leave.

Si Lijue moved his lips a few times, then suddenly spoke.

"Get ready. I'll go back to the Su family with you tomorrow. Tell the housekeeper what gifts you need and have him prepare them in advance."

"Hmm?" Su Niannian turned around with a suspicious look on her face, her beautiful eyes fixed on the man in front of her. She asked in confusion, "Why did you suddenly decide to go to my house?"

Si Lijue's lips curled up slightly, revealing a sly smile, and he began to tease himself.

"Isn't this normal? Sooner or later, I, as the future son-in-law, will have to pay my respects to my mother-in-law and father-in-law!"

Moreover, if I can win over my mother-in-law and father-in-law, they will definitely hand over the household registration book to me willingly.

Su Niannian felt a little depressed and muttered to herself.

"He's just a son-in-law in name only, not a real one. Why go through all that complicated procedures?"

Her mind suddenly went blank for a moment, and when she came to her senses, she asked with a face full of curiosity, "Hey, wait a minute, what do you need my family's household registration book for?"

Si Lijue's deep and fiery eyes were fixed on the woman in front of him, and his deep and magnetic voice slowly rang out: "You gave birth to Xibao for me, so it's time for me to take responsibility for you and your child."

Only after we get our household registration booklet can we get our marriage certificate and officially become a legal couple.

Don't worry, I will follow all the proper procedures without skipping a single step.
