Chapter 134 Accusation
Seeing this, Jiang Ran knew that he had taken it to heart.
Fu continued, "It is precisely because of the close kinship that he does not know how to interact with you."
"It's because I care that I'm so conflicted and can't make up my mind right away, so I can only resort to escapism for now."
After saying that, she paused slightly, lowered her eyes, and looked at him seriously: "So, do you understand?"
Si Youlin lowered his eyes in deep thought, and listening to Jiang Ran's words was like a sudden awakening. He suddenly looked up and replied, "I understand!"
Jiang Ran showed a hint of relief on her face, and then said, "Then you should put aside those feelings of discomfort now and try to get along with him properly."
"Time will tell."
"Yes!" Si Youlin nodded vigorously, then couldn't wait to get up and leave.
He hadn't taken two steps when he suddenly remembered something and turned around. He saw Jiang Ran looking at him with a smile, and a strange feeling flashed through his heart.
Si Youlin looked at her and nodded slightly: "Thank you." After saying that, without waiting to see her reaction, he hurriedly turned and left.
Seeing that he seemed to be fleeing in panic, Jiang Ran smiled slightly and chuckled.
After listening to Jiang Ran's advice, Si Youlin pondered for a long time and decided to work on the relationship between the two of them in small ways.
"Knock knock knock—"
Hearing the knocking at the door, Si Yanxiao stopped his passive movements and looked towards the door: "Come in."
Si Youlin pushed open the door upon hearing the sound and entered. Si Yanxiao was taken aback when he saw him, but then his eyes flashed as he noticed the textbook in Si Youlin's hand.
Just as he was about to ask, Si Youlin spoke first, explaining, "Daddy, there are two questions in my textbook that I don't understand. Can you explain them to me?"
Upon hearing this, Si Yanxiao pursed his lips slightly and quickly nodded in response, "Of course."
Si Youlin's face lit up with joy. He walked a few steps to the bedside, opened the textbook, and asked, "This is it. The results I got were different the two times I calculated it. I don't know where I went wrong."
Si Yanxiao listened intently to his voice, slightly lost in thought.
He had never interacted with children before, so he had been deliberately avoiding him for some time, but now this atmosphere made him feel a sense of warmth.
Si Yanxiao was slightly moved.
Seeing that Si Yanxiao was silent with his eyes downcast, as if lost in thought, Si Youlin waved his hand in front of him and reminded him, "Daddy?"
Si Yanxiao suddenly snapped back to reality and looked at the textbook: "This one?"
"Um."
Si Yanxiao glanced at it and gave the correct answer. Si Youlin praised him repeatedly and asked a few more questions.
Just as he was calculating, Si Youlin casually asked, "Daddy, do you have something to do today?"
After hearing this, Si Yanxiao slowly shook his head and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Si Youlin hesitated for a moment, then pursed his lips and asked, "Um... can you come with me and my brother to the amusement park?"
“On weekends when he’s off, my classmates’ parents always take him there.”
Seeing that he was cautiously probing over something so commonplace, Si Yanxiao felt a pang of guilt and couldn't help but reflect on himself.
Looking down at Si Youlin's expectant eyes, she nodded, stroked his hair, and softly replied with a smile, "Okay, no problem."
"I'll take you out after you finish your homework."
As soon as he finished speaking, Si Youlin began to write furiously, a stark contrast to his earlier hesitant and indecisive manner when looking at the question.
Si Youlin suddenly realized that his excitement had given him away, and he immediately slowed down.
Si Yanxiao raised his eyebrows slightly, curled his lips into a slight smile, and chuckled softly.
Just then, the phone suddenly rang, and Si Youlin quickly picked it up and handed it to Si Yanxiao.
He glanced down at the caller ID and said aloud, "Daddy, it's Uncle Anan."
Upon hearing this, Si Yanxiao quickly took the phone and swiped to answer.
He went straight to the point and asked, "Any news?"
"Hmm." Gu Nan replied slowly, "We've found the location of the tombstone. No wonder we couldn't find it before."
"The tombstone is located in the suburbs, near the border of the neighboring province, and it is not widely known, so many people do not know about it."
"Where are you now?" Si Yanxiao asked directly.
"company."
"I'm coming right away!" he said, and then hung up the phone.
Si Youlin vaguely guessed something from his conversation, and lowered his eyes slightly, his face showing undisguised disappointment.
Si Yanxiao was about to get up and leave when he looked at Si Youlin standing to the side. Remembering what he had just promised, a struggle flashed through his mind.
But she still chose the latter, reaching out to pat Si Youlin's head and whispering, "Ah Lin, I'm sorry, I..."
"It's alright." Si Youlin interrupted him abruptly, then looked up and comforted him, "Your business must be very important. You can come with us to the amusement park anytime. You should go do your own thing first."
Seeing how understanding Si Youlin was, Si Yanxiao's heart softened, and he replied repeatedly, "Okay, I will definitely not break my promise next time."
After saying that, he got up and walked towards the door.
Si Youlin watched his retreating figure, his eyes filled with obvious disappointment.
Then he picked up his homework and walked towards his room. Si Zuochen saw him go out excitedly, but when he came back, he looked dejected.
A look of surprise flashed across her face, and she quickly walked to his side, asking, "What happened? Why do you look like that?"
Si Youlin slammed the book down on the table and then recounted what had just happened, his voice filled with righteous indignation.
"He actually abandoned us for someone else!"
Si Zuochen listened, pursed his lips slightly, gently patted his shoulder, and comforted him, "Maybe Daddy really has something to do? It's okay, didn't he promise us he would go with us next time?"
But Si Youlin couldn't listen to him now, and only poured out his emotions: "But he promised, next time? When will next time be?"
Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Si Zuochen kept quiet to avoid accidentally adding fuel to the fire, and just listened to him complaining.
"Thank goodness she even told me that her father cares about us."
"Her?" Si Zuochen suddenly grasped the key point in the question, his eyes flashing slightly: "Jiang Ran?"
"Mm." Si Youlin nodded.
Their opinion of Jiang Ran has changed considerably, so they now call her by her first name, which is better than calling her "that woman."
Seeing the puzzled look on Si Zuochen's face, Si Youlin repeated what Jiang Ran had said. Si Zuochen listened, his mind filled with a myriad of thoughts.
"Daddy treated her like that, and she still spoke well of him?" Si Zuochen asked, a look of surprise on his face.
“Yes.” Si Youlin looked up at him and said indignantly, “Brother, don’t you think this is too unfair to her?”
Si Zuochen pursed his lips, and after a long while, responded softly.
Although he didn't like Jiang Ran, objectively speaking, his father was indeed wrong in this matter.
Si Youlin felt more and more aggrieved for her, and suddenly stood up, saying in a deep voice, "No! Since we have chosen her to continue as the mistress of the Si family, we cannot let this go on like this."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the door. Seeing this, Si Zuochen sighed helplessly and could only follow behind him to prevent him from saying anything he shouldn't in his haste.
On the other hand, Jiang Ran was unable to meet Jiang Yuechen because of Old Master Si's sudden visit last time, so the two rescheduled for today.
Just as I was about to finish a few more orders and head out, I heard a sudden knock on the door.
"Come in," Jiang Ran said loudly.
Si Youlin pushed open the door and entered, followed closely by Si Zuochen.
The two of them had only come to see her a handful of times, which surprised her.
Seeing this, Jiang Ran's face flashed with surprise: "Is there something you need?"
Si Youlin looked displeased and walked up to her, asking directly, "Did you know that Father went out?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran slowly shook her head. Si Youlin bit his lip and then continued speaking.
"How can you not do anything about it? Who knows why he went out there?"
Tube?
Upon hearing this, a hint of helplessness appeared in Jiang Ran's eyes. She couldn't even avoid Si Yanxiao's attitude towards her, so how could she possibly control it?
But then she sensed that Si Youlin was defending her, so she pursed her lips and replied softly, "It's his freedom to do what he wants, and I can't control that. Besides, what if it's something important for the company?"
