Si Guangxu couldn't say this. There were too many interests involved in his life. God had already made him suffer for so many years. Why should he say it out loud and let his son suffer with him?
In this case, it would be better to remain silent and let him continue to hate me for the rest of his life.
Seeing that he remained silent again, Si Mochen became extremely annoyed. Every time he mentioned this issue, Si Guangxu chose to avoid it, as if he was hiding something.
Si Mochen also had doubts at one point, so he asked someone to investigate the past story of Si Guangxu and his mother, but the clues obtained did not reveal any loopholes.
Si Mochen had no idea what had happened, and why his father would rather remain silent and be hated by him than tell the truth.
"The food is ready, go and eat."
Si Guangxu said nothing and shifted the topic to the dining table.
But Si Mochen responded coldly, "Eat it yourself!" After that, he turned around and was about to leave.
But just as he reached the door, he was stopped by Si Guangxu, "Don't you want to know why I left Si Group? I'll tell you after dinner."
Upon hearing this, Si Mochen quickly took a step back. He stood there for a long time, and finally came back and sat at the dining table.
Seeing the dishes on the table, Si Mochen was more or less surprised.
After all, there are servants serving at home, and Si Guangxu has never been seen cooking himself. Now the dishes on the table are so colorful, fragrant and delicious that they look like those prepared by a chef.
Perhaps noticing the surprise in his eyes, Si Guangxu spoke softly, "When your mother and I lived together, I was the one who cooked. At first, my cooking wasn't satisfactory and your mother disliked it. Later, I signed up for a cooking class and learned how to cook. Gradually, I captured your mother's appetite."
Speaking of this, Si Guangxu showed a bit of pride.
Si Mochen paused with his chopsticks in his hand, but did not interrupt him and listened to him quietly.
"You've never been around your mother, so you don't understand her temper. But if you think about it carefully, her personality is somewhat similar to Xia Zhichu's now. She's stubborn and doesn't give in easily. But most importantly, she's a kind woman."
"I didn't give her a legitimate status back then, but she never complained. She stayed by my side and gave me the utmost support. It's just a pity that the wedding I promised her didn't happen until she died."
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but when Si Mochen looked up at Si Guangxu, he actually saw tears in his eyes.
At that moment, his dissatisfaction with this man gradually dissipated.
"So, your help to me now is just to make up for the regret you left for your mother?"
Si Guangxu nodded without denying it, "That's right, I just don't want you to end up like me, with regrets for the rest of your life."
Hearing this, Si Mochen suddenly couldn't help but sneer, "I won't be like you, because what I want, and the people I want to protect, I will rely on my own abilities to fight for it, regardless of... the... cost!"
Si Mochen spat out the last six words from between his teeth.
Si Guangxu trembled when he heard this. These words seemed to be announcing his decision, but they were actually mocking him in a subtle way.
However, Si Guangxu has gotten used to being looked down upon by his son over the years.
"I still say the same thing. As long as you need me, I will help you." Si Guangxu said, and took the initiative to pick up a piece of pork ribs for Si Mochen, "Try my cooking skills."
Si Mochen took a look but never touched his chopsticks. Instead, he crossed his arms and asked calmly, "Why?"
It is said that mother and child are connected by heart, but Si Guangxu and Si Mochen have always had a good understanding with each other.
Although he didn't say anything nonsense, Si Guangxu understood what he meant.
"Nothing, I just feel tired and want to live a comfortable life."
Si Mochen naturally did not believe this reason. After enduring humiliation for so many years, he resigned from the position of chairman because of an investment problem. This was not Si Guangxu's style.
However, Si Guangxu didn't want to say it, and Si Mochen didn't ask any more questions.
He stood up and said to the other party, "Chu Chu still needs care at home. I'm leaving first. Enjoy your meal!"
Si Guangxu didn't try to persuade him to stay and just let him open the door and leave.
But when the figure disappeared through the door, Si Guangxu's emotions, which had just calmed down, suddenly became a little complicated. He took off his glasses, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and smiled dejectedly.
"Xiaochen, if my sacrifice can bring you happiness in this life, then all the humiliation I endure will be worth it!"
…
When Si Mochen came back, he saw Xia Zhichu and Lina talking and laughing.
However, when Lina saw the male host coming back, she didn't stay long. She smiled and said that he would come to see her again when he had time, and then left Yujing Garden.
As soon as she left, Si Mochen sat down, held Xia Zhichu's hand, raised an eyebrow and asked, "What were you talking about just now? You look so happy?"
Xia Zhichu winked mischievously and smiled mysteriously, "It's just a secret between women, but you really are such a fool. Lina has taken care of me for so long, and now it's time for dinner, why don't you invite her to stay for dinner?"
Hearing Xia Zhichu's complaint, Si Mochen pretended to be serious and said, "You can only taste my cooking skills. Others are not qualified!"
When Xia Zhichu heard this, he was stunned for a long time.
When he reacted, he asked in confusion, "No, isn't Lina yours?"
However, she didn't expect that the moment she said this, the man would raise his eyebrows in displeasure. He grabbed her chin and approached her, looking dangerously into her frightened eyes. He emphasized each word, "Mrs. Si, you must be mistaken. You are the only one who belongs to me."
The feeling of pressure was extremely heavy, and the key point was that the two of them were so close that their breaths were entangled.
Xia Zhichu was about to move away in panic, but the man pressed her even harder, "Give me a kiss, and I'll go cook for you."
Cough cough!
Xia Zhichu was really ashamed.
Why is this man so clingy now, asking for a kiss at every turn?
But his eyes were so fiery that they burned the hairs on her face and made them stand on end. Xia Zhichu was worried that she would not be able to bear the stalemate any longer, so she made up her mind and pecked his cheek.
Seeing her blushing so much, Si Mochen raised his thin lips into a beautiful arc, then he let her go and went to the kitchen to cook.
Xia Zhichu leaned on the bed, his heart still pounding wildly.
At this moment, the phone suddenly vibrated twice.
Xia Zhichu picked it up and saw that it was a video invitation sent by Chu Tiantian.
After swiping open the connection, Chu Tiantian's beautiful little face popped up on the screen. She just opened her mouth and said, "Mrs. Si, how have you been these days?"
Xia Zhichu looked up at the sky and didn't realize who Mrs. Si was. It was not until she heard Chu Tiantian's complaints that she realized it was her who was being called.
"Tiantian, can you be more serious? Don't you feel awkward calling Mrs. Si?"
