☆, Chapter Forty-One: Giving Shares?
Having said that, he ignored their reactions and got up to leave.
After she left the ward, Si Youlin's face showed a hint of surprise. He looked at Si Zuochen and asked, "Brother, how did she know that I gave the pendant to someone else?"
Si Zuochen looked surprised and replied in a low voice, "It was she and Uncle Anan who found us. They asked me about the unexpected situation on the way."
"Oh." Si Youlin nodded, feeling that her lecturing was somewhat superfluous.
Si Zuochen, however, seemed somewhat distracted. From the moment she appeared today, her actions had exceeded his expectations of her.
The use of acupuncture and talismans was already quite unusual, and the pendant issue was specifically mentioned earlier...
A hint of doubt flashed through Si Zuochen's mind.
————
Meanwhile, on the other side, after learning that Si Youlin had been taken to the hospital, Old Master Si was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of all surveillance footage and questioning of the relevant personnel.
However, the final result was that the high fever was caused by a cold, and the problem with the signal at the time was also resolved without any resolution.
"Then how did you find the person?" Old Master Si asked, his brows furrowed.
Gu Nan pursed her lips and said truthfully, "It was Madam who found it."
"Her?" Upon hearing this reply, Old Master Si looked surprised.
He was already quite shocked that she was willing to get involved; he just hoped she wouldn't make things worse. He never expected that she would be the key figure in the end.
How did she find it?
Gu Nan shook her head: "I don't know. She went to check the surveillance footage with me, and then went out to search on her own without even knowing the location."
"Perhaps they discovered something in the surveillance footage."
He still hasn't figured this out. The two children clearly disappeared out of thin air according to the surveillance footage, but she just seemed to have a premonition.
She had her doubts, but Si Youlin's fever was unexpected, and she had no way of knowing for sure.
After hearing this, Old Master Si couldn't help but exclaim, "Could this be the bond between mother and child?"
Hearing his guess, Gu Nan and the butler exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of helplessness on each other's faces.
Because of this incident, Grandpa Si's impression of Jiang Ran improved considerably. Her repeated unusual behavior made him look at her in a different light.
Just then, a servant outside the door announced that Jiang Ran had arrived.
The others were all surprised, but Old Master Si was somewhat pleased after hearing the news.
This is the first time Jiang Ran has ever taken the initiative to visit the Si family since she married into the family.
When Jiang Ran entered the room and saw Gu Nan, she raised her eyebrows slightly. It was no surprise that he had come to report the news.
He nodded slightly, which was considered a greeting.
Then I looked at the old man sitting in the center. He was clearly old, but his back was very straight.
Grandpa Si smiled slightly at her and waved his hand, "You're here, come sit down quickly."
"Okay." Jiang Ran smiled and sat down next to Old Master Si.
Before Old Master Si could speak, she said first, "I just came from the hospital. I was afraid you would worry, so I came to tell you that Si Youlin has woken up and is fine."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Si was taken aback, not expecting that she had come specifically to discuss this matter.
She could have been notified with a phone call, but she made a special trip to my home.
Just as Old Master Si was shocked by her actions, Jiang Ran continued, "I just mentioned on the phone that I would come to visit you. There's no time like the present. You won't mind if I come uninvited, will you?"
He spoke with a hint of humor, which eased the awkward atmosphere slightly.
"How could that be?" After learning the purpose of their visit, Old Master Si quickly smiled.
Seeing the two chatting and smiling, the butler gave Gu Nan a wink. After the two walked to the back garden, the butler spoke frankly.
"You went to look for them together. Was there anything unusual along the way?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Nan pondered for a moment before replying, "That's true. She was drawing talismans while searching for someone."
Then, half-jokingly, he said, "I thought she was pinning her hopes on God."
The butler paused slightly upon hearing this, a look of doubt on his face: "A talisman?"
Gu Nan nodded and replied, "Yes."
A hint of worry flashed across the housekeeper's face. Jiang Ran's behavior was too abnormal and could not be ignored.
So he quickly asked, "Have you heard any news about Master Xuanren recently?"
Gu Nan shook his head slightly: "No, the master always travels around and his whereabouts are uncertain. I haven't received any messages from my subordinates for a long time."
Master Xuanren was a highly respected and accomplished scholar in metaphysics, a hermit who had seen through everything.
I had a brief encounter with Master Si a long time ago. He predicted that Si Yanxiao was destined to face this calamity, and it turned out to be true in the end.
Old Master Si searched for a long time before finally finding his whereabouts, hoping to obtain a way to break this calamity.
Master Xuanren had an eccentric personality, like a playful old man. He didn't explain it directly, but instead answered with the principle of "the way of the Tao" and "let nature take its course."
Finally, for reasons unknown, he suddenly spoke up and mentioned a person's birth date and time, indicating that this person would be the key to Si Yanxiao's future.
Old Master Si used all his connections to search for her and finally found Jiang Ran.
This is precisely why, despite the vast difference in their family backgrounds, and despite teetering on the edge of self-destruction for so many years, she has been able to maintain her position as the mistress of the Si family.
Because Si Yanxiao was still unconscious, she was his guarantee of waking up.
As for Si Zuochen and Si Youlin, it was the master who, with the words "the continuation of offspring, the return of destiny," forced Jiang Ran to become pregnant through in-vitro fertilization. "Hmm." The butler nodded slightly, then said in a deep voice, "Pay close attention to his news recently, and invite him over immediately if there is any news."
"Okay," Gu Nan replied.
Meanwhile, Grandpa Si and Jiang Ran were having a lively conversation.
Hearing him talk about the child in almost every other sentence, Jiang Ran couldn't help but soften and said, "Don't worry too much, the hospital has said there's nothing wrong."
"It seems you plan to stay in the country for a long time. Once he recovers, you can just have them come whenever he wants to see them."
"It's best not to meet until you're fully recovered, lest I pass on my illness to you."
Hearing Jiang Ran's words, Old Master Si was shocked. When did she become so considerate?
After realizing what had happened, she asked incredulously, "Really?"
In the past, she had forbidden the children from having too much contact with him. He knew she harbored resentment, so his consideration for the children could only be shown in small ways.
They could only meet secretly in private.
"Yes." Jiang Ran smiled slightly and nodded, "You are their grandfather, so they should visit you often."
Her words struck a chord with him.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Si's face lit up with joy, and he suddenly said, "In the years you've been with the Si family, I haven't given you anything, so I'll give you another 5% of the shares."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran was taken aback.
As the housekeeper and Gu Nan approached, they heard this sentence, and before they could even stop it, the words were already out of their mouths.
