The uncle saw that Su Niannian was carefully flattering this devil in front of her to protect the three of them, and had to stay by his side to entertain him at any time, while being threatened by him.
Without thinking, he reached out to pull Su Niannian away from Si Lijue. "Mr. Si, my child is young and doesn't know any better. She just spoke the truth and upset you. I apologize on her behalf. Please be magnanimous and don't hold it against her."
He has good intentions, but he can't keep his mouth shut and says things he shouldn't, offending people without realizing it.
This is also why Su Niannian's parents kept him by their side and put him in charge of the hotel's kitchen.
Si Lijue found his future uncle quite troublesome, always ruining his plans. Just as his hand was about to touch Su Niannian's arm, a sharp glare swept over him.
"Uncle, are you sure you want to take Niannian away from me? I have a bad temper, and if you touch her, I don't know what I might do."
This is a blatant threat, practically saying, "If you touch her, I'll chop off your hand."
The uncle was intimidated by his domineering aura and reflexively withdrew his hand immediately.
He felt extremely embarrassed. This was their home, and they had been threatened by Si Lijue. It was utterly shameful.
In an attempt to regain some face, he mustered his courage and said, "President Si, since you call me uncle, then I am your elder. How can you, as a junior, speak to me in such a disrespectful tone?"
Besides, this is the Su family home. Wherever Nian Nian sits is her prerogative. As a guest, you have no right to restrict her freedom.
Si Lijue didn't answer his uncle's question, but instead turned his gaze to Su Niannian's face, "Niannian, have I restricted your freedom?"
Niannian? This was the first time he had ever called her that.
Su Niannian was momentarily dazed, then shook her head blankly, "No."
Si Lijue's lips curled up slightly, and he gave her an approving look, seemingly quite satisfied with her answer.
Then, he turned his gaze back to his uncle's face and said with a smug look, "Uncle, did you hear that? I didn't restrict Niannian's freedom; it was all her own choice."
Furthermore, people should respect each other. I have a bad temper, and I don't have much patience for people who are hostile towards me.
The implication is that if you acknowledge me as your niece's husband, then you are my elder.
Otherwise, you're just a stranger to me, and I won't go easy on strangers.
Uncle wasn't stupid. He could tell that Si Lijue's words were full of warnings. He moved his lips a few times, wanting to argue, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Su Niannian's voice.
"Uncle, he really didn't restrict my freedom. I stayed by his side voluntarily."
Besides, he treats me quite well, so you don't need to worry.
He gave her jewelry worth 800 million without even blinking, so it's no exaggeration to say he treats her well!
...
The uncle couldn't help but feel regretful, and helplessly rubbed his forehead.
Oh no! My niece has gone back to the infatuated phase she had five years ago!
It seems she has always been in love with Si Lijue and has never given up on him. She has been completely controlled by that brat Si Lijue.
It's true what they say, daughters grow up and leave home!
Su's mother also began to lose her composure, staring at her daughter in disbelief and asking in shock, "What did you say? You stayed by his side willingly?"
"Mmm!" Su Niannian lowered her head, not daring to look her mother in the eye, and nodded.
"You foolish child! Why did you do this?" Su's mother's voice trembled slightly as she said with exasperation, "Have you forgotten the lesson from five years ago?"
Su Niannian didn't dare to mention Xibao to her family yet, and answered guiltily, "Mom, I haven't forgotten the lesson I learned before. I know what I'm doing."
"You..." Su's mother was speechless with anger, swallowing the rest of her words. She turned her head to the side, not wanting to talk to her daughter, and secretly wiped away her tears, sulking.
Seeing that the mother and daughter were having a disagreement, Su's father didn't want to press Su Niannian any further, so he had no choice but to seek a breakthrough from Si Lijue.
"Mr. Si, you still haven't answered me. What do you need us to do for you to completely let our daughter go?"
Si Lijue abandoned his nonchalant demeanor, sat up straight, and said politely, "Uncle, Aunt, you just need to lend us your household registration book to register."
From now on, what happened five years ago is completely over, and I will not pursue it any further.
Regardless of the circumstances, Mr. and Mrs. Su are his future in-laws, so he should still show them the proper attitude and courtesy.
"Register? Register what?" Su's mother's eyes widened, and her voice suddenly rose eight octaves, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, its fur standing on end.
Si Lijue didn't want to hide anything and told the truth, "I need to register my son's household registration, so I need to get a marriage certificate with your daughter."
Su's mother stared at the man in astonishment, and, not knowing where she got the courage, began to argue with him.
"Si Lijue, don't go too far. Five years ago, it was my family member Niannian who made a mistake and offended you."
But you can't force my daughter to get a marriage certificate with you just to atone for your sins in order to register your son's household registration.
My daughter is from an honest family; if she marries you, her life will be ruined.
Besides, if you want to find someone to register your marriage with, go find the child's mother, don't drag my daughter into this.
Whoever gives birth to the child is responsible for it; what does it have to do with my daughter?
Even if our Su family is in dire straits, we would never push our daughter into a fire pit. I firmly disagree.
She thought that Si Lijue had brought his illegitimate child home so that she could register the child he had with another woman and force her daughter to marry him and raise the child under her daughter's name, making her the child's stepmother.
Being a stepmother is no easy job these days; it's hard work, and you don't get any praise from outsiders.
One wrong move and your reputation is ruined, leaving you pleasing neither side.
Her daughter is her everything. She won't stand by and watch her daughter become a free nanny or housewife for the Si family, raising someone else's child.
Si Lijue's face was gloomy. The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. He kept thinking to himself, "Looking for the child's biological mother? Isn't Su Niannian Xibao's biological mother?"
If I don't ask her to get the marriage certificate, and I ask someone else, no one will agree!
Su Niannian and I got our marriage certificate; this is the greatest blessing she could ever have.
How come in the eyes of the Su family, her marrying me is like jumping into a fire pit?
This isn't a pit of fire at all, it's a paradise on earth!
Besides, isn't it their precious daughter who caused things to turn out like this?
I was the most wronged and innocent person from beginning to end. I lost my innocence for no reason and even gained a son.
"If their daughter hadn't secretly given birth to a son for me, I wouldn't have had to rush to become the Su family's son-in-law and marry that shameless Su Niannian."
