Su Niannian felt a sudden warmth in her heart, and her nose tingled, almost bringing tears to her eyes.
She smiled sincerely and said, "Thank you, Aunt and Uncle."
Thinking to himself, with such wise grandparents as Si's father and mother protecting her, Xi Bao would definitely not suffer any grievances.
A year later, her contract with Si Lijue expired, and they parted ways. She left the Si family, leaving Xibao to live alone in the Si family, which put her mind at ease.
Seeing that Su Niannian's expression had softened and she was no longer as frightened as before, Madam Si smiled and corrected her form of address.
"Silly child, why are you still calling us uncle and aunt? You should call us mom and dad instead."
Although Su Niannian and Si Lijue obtained their marriage certificate yesterday, their wedding ceremony has not yet been held.
Furthermore, given the private agreement they signed, to some extent, the relationship between Su Niannian and Si Lijue is not the traditional kind of marriage that is recognized and blessed by everyone.
Therefore, when Su Niannian was about to address Si's father and mother as "Dad and Mom," she couldn't help but feel hesitant and embarrassed.
While Su Niannian was still hesitating and struggling with how to say it, Si's mother's urging voice rang in her ears again: "Niannian, quickly say 'Mom' so I can hear it."
Her mother-in-law was convinced from the very beginning that Su Niannian would be her daughter-in-law.
Back when Si Lili first brought Su Niannian back to the Si family, Si's mother was overjoyed and took a liking to her at first sight, hoping that she would soon become her daughter-in-law.
At that time, his silly son always had a sour face and never expressed his opinion, which made Niannian so scared that she was like a mouse seeing a cat when she saw him, and dared not say a word.
She had privately tried to scold her foolish son more than once to wake him up, but he was as stubborn as a mule and would never listen.
She regretted this for a long time.
Now that's great! Su Niannian took the initiative to win over her son and even gave birth to a big, healthy grandson for the Si family. Now their daughter-in-law is definitely not going to run away.
Su Niannian couldn't bear to disappoint Si's mother, and she also wanted to win over Si's parents so that they would treat their son well.
After weighing the pros and cons, she finally smiled awkwardly but politely and called out, "Mom, Dad!"
Mrs. Si beamed with joy, her eyes crinkling into slits. "Hey! Hehehe~ Great, Niannian, you're truly my wonderful daughter-in-law!"
As she laughed, she took off a beautiful, crystal-clear jade bracelet from her wrist.
Then, looking at Su Niannian with loving eyes, he said softly, "Child, this bracelet is a family heirloom of our Si family. I am passing it on to you now as a gift from me."
"From now on, you will be the eldest young mistress of the Si family!" With that, Madam Si reached out and took Su Niannian's left hand, slipping the precious jade bracelet onto her slender wrist.
Looking at the jade bracelet, which was entirely green and smooth, Su Niannian knew at a glance that it was very valuable, and that it also carried the history and heritage of the Si family's ancestors.
She dared not accept it and hurriedly said, "Mom, this is too precious, I can't accept it." As she spoke, she reached out to take off the bracelet and return it to her mother.
Seeing her intention, Madam Si immediately stopped her: "You must not take it off. This is to be passed down to the eldest daughter-in-law, and it has great significance."
When I first married into the family, it was your grandmother who personally put it on me.
When Xibao gets married in the future, you should personally put the hairpin on his wife's head.
This bracelet has been passed down from generation to generation in this way.
“But…” Su Niannian wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Si Lijue’s voice sitting opposite her: “Your mother gave it to you, so just take it. You deserve it.”
The implication is that he acknowledges her status as the young mistress of the Si family.
When Su Niannian heard Si Lijue speak, she didn't know what else to say and could only return it to Si Lijue later.
She politely said to Mrs. Si, "Thank you, Mom!"
"No need to be so polite, we're all family." Mrs. Si reached out and gently patted Su Niannian's hand a few times to comfort her.
When Mr. Si heard his wife's clear and melodious laughter and saw the wrinkles on her face, he was also in a good mood because of her joyful atmosphere.
Seeing that his wife had already given Su Niannian a gift, he realized that as the head of the household, he couldn't be too stingy, so he decided to give an even bigger gift.
So he smiled and said to Su Niannian, "Haha, good, girl, I knew I hadn't misjudged you."
Your mother is right. You are indeed a great contributor to the Si family, and the position of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Si family is rightfully yours.
To reward you for your great contributions, I've decided to give you 10% of the Si Group's shares as a gift from your father-in-law.
Attorney He will be here shortly to process the share transfer agreement.
Si's Group is a nationally renowned leading enterprise and one of the top 100 listed companies. Every year, the dividends from just 10% of its shares amount to several billion yuan.
If Su Niannian had so many shares, she could just lie around all day and not have to do anything. She would have more money than she could spend.
I could raise ten Xibao, let alone one.
After hearing what Si's father said, Su Niannian did not show the slightest joy on her face.
On the contrary, she felt her heart suddenly clench, as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, and an unprecedented heavy pressure swept over her.
Her face turned pale instantly, and she quickly waved her hands, pleading urgently, "Dad, please don't say that!"
My decision to have Xibao was entirely from my heart, and in the past five years, it is because Xibao has always been by my side that I have been able to truly feel happiness and contentment!
Therefore, there is really no such thing as a meritorious official!
Furthermore, I absolutely cannot accept the company's shares.
It would be more appropriate for you to leave these shares to Li Jue and Li Li.
Si Lijue and Si Lili are the rightful heirs of the Si family, while she is just a temporary passerby.
It's inappropriate for her to take so much money from the Si family for no reason; it gives the impression that she's selling her son.
If she really wants those shares, it would only confirm that her motives for sleeping with Si Lijue were ulterior motives.
Father Si shook his head slightly, a nonchalant smile on his face, and said softly, "My children, they will have everything they are entitled to, so you don't need to worry about that."
But these shares are specifically reserved for you, so please don't refuse them!
If you don't accept it, Daddy will really get angry!
Although his tone seemed relaxed, his eyes revealed an undeniable firmness.
Mrs. Si was worried that Su Niannian's insistence on not accepting the gift would upset her husband, since Mr. Si was always very concerned about his reputation.
She hurriedly added, "Niannian, keep it! This is what you deserve, and it's what the eldest young mistress of the Si family should have."
