Chapter 86: Father and Son Meet
As soon as he finished speaking, his gaze swept across the room and he saw a small head slowly peeking in through the doorway, meeting his eyes. His pupils widened in surprise, and he hurriedly looked away.
Si Yanxiao noticed that it was the child who had just claimed to be his, and a hint of doubt flashed across his face.
He called out, "You...you come in."
Si Youlin hesitated outside the door for a long time. After hearing the voice inside, he slowly moved to the door, pointed to himself, and asked softly, "Are you calling me?"
Si Yanxiao nodded, and Si Youlin slowly approached.
Seeing this, Zhou Jinyan gave the butler a wink and then said, "I have some things to tell you, what do you think?"
The butler immediately understood and replied, "Okay, I'll get a piece of paper and write it down. Please come with me to the lobby."
"Okay." Zhou Jinyan nodded slightly, then greeted Si Yanxiao and left.
Si Yanxiao was surprised by the child in front of him, but he didn't pay any attention and waved his hand.
The room suddenly became quiet, leaving only the father and son staring at each other.
Si Yanxiao lowered his eyes to look at Si Youlin. He saw that there was indeed a resemblance between his eyebrows and his own, but he had no recollection of him at all. A deep sense of surprise flashed across his face.
Si Youlin stood there somewhat uneasy, and after shifting his gaze, he couldn't help but glance at him timidly again.
For the past six years, his impression of Si Yanxiao had remained that of a coma. Now, upon seeing the conscious Si Yanxiao in person, he was momentarily taken aback.
He had never been in close contact with Si Yanxiao, and what he imagined was that she was gentle and kind, a stark contrast to Jiang Ran.
But when I overheard him arguing with that woman outside the door, I was surprised to find that it was completely different from what I had expected.
He never imagined that his father could be so violent, and from the argument, it was clear that the two were evenly matched.
Si Yanxiao noticed that he was cautious and somewhat timid in front of him.
He instantly realized that the scene just now had frightened him, and a complex emotion flashed across his face. He pursed his lips, then beckoned to Si Youlin and said softly, "Come here, get closer."
Si Youlin hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked to the bedside.
Looking at his small figure, Si Yanxiao felt a sudden surge of tenderness and couldn't help but comfort him, saying, "Don't be afraid."
Then a hint of doubt flashed across her face: "Are you really my child?"
Si Youlin nodded and replied, "Mm."
Then the two of them stopped abruptly, creating an awkward moment.
After hesitating for a moment, Si Youlin said in a low voice, "You're finally awake..."
Si Yanxiao lowered his eyes slightly. He didn't know what had happened while he was unconscious, but there was a child in front of him, so he couldn't say anything.
They are clearly blood-related father and son, but now they seem very distant.
"What's your name?" Si Yanxiao asked.
"Si Youlin".
“You Lin…” Si Yanxiao murmured, repeating it over and over.
"I also have an older brother." Si Youlin seemed to have opened a floodgate of words, and once he started talking about these things, he became quite talkative.
“His name is Si Zuochen, but he’s in the hospital because he’s not feeling well. We’re twins, and we look exactly alike.”
"Twins?" Si Yanxiao raised an eyebrow slightly: "Then your relationship must be very good?"
"Mmm." Si Zuochen nodded repeatedly.
"But why is he in the hospital? Did something happen?" Si Yanxiao asked softly, trying to keep his tone gentle.
“Hmm…” Si Zuochen pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head: “It’s nothing, I’m just sick.”
He chose not to tell him the inside story, even though he wanted to get along with him now, he disdained to exchange someone else's secrets.
Furthermore, since this matter concerned Jiang Ran, he hesitated for a moment but still kept it a secret.
Even he himself didn't know whether it was to give Jiang Ran another chance to "turn over a new leaf" or because he couldn't bear to see his father suffer another blow as soon as he regained consciousness.
No one would accept their wife having an ambiguous relationship with another man.
Thinking of this, Si Youlin raised his eyes and secretly observed his expression. After finding that he did not suspect anything, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After the conversation had run its course, the atmosphere grew cold again, and the two looked at each other, unsure of what to say.
Si Yanxiao was speechless for the first time; he had never felt so helpless when he was debating with a group of scholars in the business world.
She lowered her eyes slightly and broke the awkward silence: "I want to rest for a bit..."
Upon hearing this, Si Youlin immediately understood his meaning and quickly replied, "Okay, then I'll go back to my room first."
A hint of guilt flashed across Si Yanxiao's face. Si Youlin lowered his head and turned to leave.
Watching his departing figure, Si Yanxiao's eyes held an unreadable expression, and a strange emotion was trying to overflow from his heart.
After leaving, Si Youlin went straight back to his bedroom, his mind still unsettled.
He never expected that his first face-to-face conversation with his father would be like this. He was extremely embarrassed, but he also felt a little secretly pleased.
From now on... he will no longer be a child without a father.
On the other side, Si Yanxiao slowly lay down. He was completely exhausted and had only managed to keep himself going while talking to Si Youlin.
Everything around him was too complicated, and his mind was in complete chaos, leaving him no time to react.
Carefully sorting through the information he had received, he learned from their words that he had been in a coma for six years, but his memory was still stuck on the scene of leaving with Bai Zhuwei.
But unexpectedly, a car accident occurred along the way...
When I woke up, everything had changed.
Just as he was lost in thought, a knock suddenly sounded at the door.
Si Yanxiao turned his head and looked in: "Come in!"
Gu Nan pushed open the door and walked quickly to the bedside, her eyes revealing joy: "Ayan!"
Looking at his former friend, Si Yanxiao couldn't help but smile and ask, "Why are you here?"
Gu Nan smiled slightly: "I rushed here as soon as I heard the news."
As she spoke, she lightly punched Si Yanxiao, a bitter look on her face, and then said, "I thought you weren't going to wake up."
Si Yanxiao felt a dull ache in his chest from the sudden punch, then chuckled softly.
Gu Nan continued, "Now that you're awake, get well soon and come back to take over the company."
"You have no idea how much pressure I've been under over the past six years watching such a large corporation."
Hearing Gu Nan's complaint, Si Yanxiao was taken aback: "Didn't you go abroad for further studies?"
It was clearly agreed at the time that Si Yanxiao would elope with Bai Zhuwei, and Gu Nan's position as assistant was only given out of consideration for their relationship. He could leave at any time to choose his own path.
Gu Nan glanced at him sideways and explained, "How can I leave with peace of mind after something like this suddenly happened?"
Upon hearing this, Si Yanxiao felt a bitter pang in his heart. He knew that Gu Nan's dream was to become a world-renowned pianist.
But now, for his sake, he has actually given up his ideals...
Although he had managed to build the Si Group into a large-scale enterprise, there were still many restless elements within it who were eager to cause trouble.
This was a complete mess, but he single-handedly salvaged it...
“Anan.” Si Yanxiao looked up at him, his eyes filled with gratitude.
Gu Nan noticed his actions and quickly stopped him, saying, "Alright, alright, that's enough. You know I hate this kind of polite talk."
"Let's keep quiet about things we shouldn't say."
Si Yanxiao chuckled softly upon hearing this, lowering his eyes slightly: "Okay..."
Then, remembering what had just happened, he asked, "What happened while I was unconscious? A woman just claimed to be my wife, and her behavior was really unruly."
As he spoke, a hint of disgust flashed across his face. Upon hearing his description, Gu Nan knew he was referring to Jiang Ran, and her expression changed slightly as she pondered how to begin.
Si Yanxiao noticed his displeasure and said, "Just say it."
Upon hearing this, Gu Nan nodded and recounted the events that had occurred over the past six years.
The main focus is on Jiang Ran and the twins.
Although Jiang Ran has changed a lot recently, it doesn't change the image she has in his mind.
Furthermore, as Si Yanxiao's wife, he had an obligation to tell him everything in detail.
After saying that, Si Yanxiao's expression was extremely ugly.
His brow furrowed, and he spoke in a cold voice: "Heh... I never expected this woman to be not only arrogant and domineering, but also promiscuous."
"Using our company's money to support another man, you really have some nerve."
As he spoke, a dangerous glint flashed in his eyes.
Gu Nan pursed her lips slightly but did not reply.
"Her name is Jiang Ran?" Si Yanxiao suddenly asked.
