Si Tong left triumphantly.
Xia Anran snapped her fingers and said happily, "Are you finally planning to take him out for a stroll?"
"Si Tong must want to take advantage of the dance to embarrass me and let everyone laugh at me for marrying an old man. Since she is so curious, just satisfy her curiosity." Si Muyan looked cunning.
Hooking her neck, Xia Anran said with satisfaction: "Well done, that's how it should be. But why does she think that you must marry an old man?"
"Maybe she thinks that only an old and ugly man would be willing to marry a sickly woman like me." Si Muyan said lightly.
"Then let Huo Si blind their titanium alloy dog eyes."
"I just don't know if Brother Si will go. If he doesn't go, won't I be so embarrassed?" Si Muyan suddenly thought of this.
"Don't worry, he will definitely agree. After all, he said that he has no plans to have a secret marriage. But you'd better tell him in advance, otherwise the president of Huo Group will be very busy." Xia Anran reminded.
Si Muyan nodded, thinking about how to talk to him in the evening.
Si Tong returned home in a happy mood.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw Si Nan sitting on the sofa with a grim face.
Seeing this, Si Tong walked forward nervously: "Dad."
Ever since she went to see Huo Si last time and ended up making things worse, causing the company to be blacklisted by them, Si Nan became even more dissatisfied with her and even stopped giving her pocket money, forcing her to reflect on her mistakes at home.
"I told you to stay at home, so where did you go? Si Tong, haven't you caused enough trouble?" Si Nan scolded.
Si Tong lowered her head and said sadly, "I'm sorry, Dad. I didn't run around. I just went to school and gave the invitation to my sister."
"Why, do you want to cause trouble for her again? Si Tong, I spoiled you too much in the past, which is why you are so lawless. Not marrying Yang Cheng has caused difficulties for the company. If it weren't for your filial piety, I would have kicked you out long ago."
Hearing these words, Si Tong clenched her fists tightly. During this period, Si Nan had openly expressed his dislike for her.
If Zhao Wei hadn't been so tough, she would probably have been kicked out.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and Si Tong stepped forward: "Dad, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I will definitely perform well at this dance and find a rich husband for you."
This dance party was supposedly to celebrate Zhao Wei's birthday, but in reality, it was an invitation to all the prominent young men in Beijing, allowing Si Tong to shine and win the favor of the wealthy second generation.
If they loved her enough, even if Si Tong had a bad reputation, she would still have a chance to marry into a wealthy family.
Thinking of the company's recent difficulties in cash flow but no one to help, Si Nan sighed softly.
"Si Tong, you must behave well. If you cause trouble again, the family business will fail, and you will have no good life." Si Nan said earnestly, "And don't make things difficult for Si Muyan anymore, otherwise you will end up making things worse."
"Dad, I know. I went to see her this time just to use her as a backdrop so that I could stand out more and be noticed by the rich young masters. After all, only with comparison can people notice my excellence."
After listening to her words, Si Nan felt that it made sense and said nothing more.
"And I also asked her to bring her husband. Even though he's an old man, if he admits his relationship with our family in public, it will be difficult for him to put it off when we really need his help."
Si Nan nodded in agreement: "Not bad, you are very thoughtful. Go upstairs to practice dancing and try to make a splash in your solo."
Si Tong said that Si Muyan's husband was the boss of Company X. After the incident, he had wanted to ask him for help. But perhaps because Si Muyan had never mentioned the Si family to him, Si Nan said he was his father-in-law, so he kicked him out and told him not to try to make friends.
Si Tong agreed obediently and then went upstairs.
Back in the house, Si Tong angrily took out her anger on the doll on the bed.
"Damn Si Nan, he treats me like this just because I'm not his biological daughter." Si Tong said angrily.
But if she wants to keep her current wealthy life, she must rely on the Si family. After all, her original family is so poor and patriarchal, she will never go back in her life.
"Si Muyan, wait to be my background. I will step on you and become the focus of the scene." Si Tong said with determination.
In the evening, Si Muyan stewed soup at home.
Huo Si worked hard, so she specially prepared a tonic soup for him to strengthen his body, hoping that he would benefit from it.
"How should I say it so that it won't be awkward? Brother Si is busy for so long every night, maybe he doesn't want to go?" Si Muyan thought absentmindedly.
Because she was distracted, when she heard the gurgling sound of the casserole, Si Muyan rushed forward quickly, wanting to lift the lid. However, she forgot that it was made of ceramic and was very hot.
"Ah." Si Muyan screamed, her hand burned. Without thinking too much, she quickly picked up a rag to insulate it, opened the lid, and turned down the heat.
After the treatment was completed, I noticed that my fingers were covered with blisters.
Just as she was lost in thought, Huo Si happened to pass by. Seeing her fingers, he immediately grabbed her hand and quickly rinsed it under the faucet.
The cold water reduces the burning sensation.
It took a while before it was over.
"Idiot, so careless." Huo Si felt distressed and spoke in a reproachful tone.
Si Muyan didn't say anything and just stood there obediently, like a child who was being scolded for doing something wrong.
Seeing that her face was already red, Huo Si was worried: "You are not allowed to enter the kitchen from now on."
"I just wanted to make you some nourishing soup," Si Muyan whispered. Tears welled up in her bright eyes because of the pain.
Hearing this, Huo Si felt even more distressed: "No, I didn't marry you to be a nanny."
Shaking her head, Si Muyan explained, "I want to please you."
Huh? Huo Si looked at her: "To please me?"
"Ms. Zhao's birthday is this Friday. She said she's going to have a dance party. Si Tong came to ask me to go today."
"When a weasel pays New Year's greetings to a chicken, it has no good intentions."
Si Muyan nodded repeatedly: "But I still went. They thought that the husband I married was old and ugly, and wanted to laugh at me. So I promised to take you with me and give them a slap in the face."
Hearing this, Huo Si was delighted. Was he finally going to reveal him publicly?
"If you want me to go, just tell me. There's no need to flatter me. You're so stupid. It's okay if the kitchen is on fire, but what if you burn yourself?"
Hearing him call her stupid, Si Muyan's eyes turned red. She looked at him aggrievedly, with more tears in her eyes.
"You're so crybaby." Huo Si said in a low voice.
"I don't like to cry. It's just that my tear glands have become more developed after I met you." Si Muyan argued.
Not wanting him to think she was a crybaby, Si Muyan tried hard to hold back her tears.
Seeing that her eyes were clearly filled with tears but she refused to cry, Huo Si felt pity for her.
She lacked love and a sense of security since childhood, so she hid her sensitive thoughts.
After meeting him, it was like finding an outlet, making it easier to express my little emotions authentically.
"Don't cry." Huo Si wiped away the stubborn tears in her eyes with his fingertips, "I was wrong."
Huh? Si Muyan stared at him blankly, blinked, and tears rolled down her cheeks.
"You, what's wrong?"
