The old man understood Si Mochen's thoughts very well. He clenched his cane tightly and said majestically, "It's okay. I'm in good health!"
After saying this, he looked at Xia Zhichu fiercely, "She's been sentenced to death countless times, yet she managed to survive. She's truly a tough girl!"
These words were so eerie and frightening that Xia Zhichu couldn't help but shiver.
I have met Si Mochen's parents, but I have never met Mr. Si.
Now seeing this, Xia Zhichu finally understood where the oppressive aura on Si Mochen came from. He was probably inherited from Old Master Si.
Although the man in front of him was in his seventies or eighties, Si Mochen had heard that the old man had been a soldier when he was young, so he gave people a sharp and majestic feeling, and it was even obvious at a glance that he was difficult to get along with.
In particular, his eyes were particularly sharp, as if he could see through all aspects of life and could also see through her thoughts.
This feeling of having no secrets made Xia Zhichu feel particularly insecure, so she subconsciously took a step back. Si Mochen clearly noticed this action and held her hand even tighter.
It was as if telling her 'Don't be afraid, I will protect you', which made Xia Zhichu suddenly regain some courage, and she bravely met Mr. Si's gaze.
Mr. Si narrowed his eyes fiercely. Others would be a little afraid of him when they saw him, let alone dare to meet his gaze. But Xia Zhichu was so courageous that he even looked at him with a probing look.
This made Mr. Si suddenly look up to Xia Zhichu.
However, thinking of Xia Zhichu's life experience, Mr. Si quickly suppressed his emotions, and his tone remained firm, "I still say the same thing, as long as you separate from this woman, you can get everything from the Si family, but if you persist in your delusion, the Si family will not have a grandson like you!"
The reason why Mr. Si appeared here was because he received an anonymous text message informing him that Si Mochen and Xia Zhichu would appear at Yuexiang Tianxia for a wedding banquet.
After the last falling out with Si Mochen, Grandpa Si had been trying to find a way to control his grandson. However, he discovered a problem: the power behind Si Mochen had become so powerful that he could not control it.
This made Mr. Si extremely angry.
Not only that, in order to protect Xia Zhichu, Si Mochen increased the manpower protection in Yujing Garden and stayed by Xia Zhichu's side every step of the way.
This made Mr. Si very angry. He fell ill again and was hospitalized for a few days, causing his hair to turn white overnight.
In addition, Si Mochen avoided the people of the Si family. Mr. Si asked Chen Qin to negotiate with Si Mochen, but this bastard refused to answer the phone. Mr. Si had no choice but to come to the wedding banquet and confront Si Mochen again.
"Then Grandpa, just pretend that you never had a grandson like me!"
Since Si Mochen chose Xia Zhichu, he would no longer be attached to anything of the Si family. Besides, he had his own business empire, so he didn't care about the Si Group.
"you……"
Mr. Si didn't expect that even though he lowered his status to come to him, he was still so determined to sever ties with the Si family. This made his anger burn again.
He glared at Xia Zhichu viciously as if he was looking at an unforgivable sinner, with terrible bloodshot in his eyes.
Xia Zhichu had long expected that Si Mochen had a bad relationship with his family, but he didn't expect it to become so strained.
Watching Si Mochen go against his grandfather, Xia Zhichu didn't know where he got the courage from. He took a deep breath and said to Grandpa Si, "I know that my humble status doesn't match the superiority of the Si family, but Mochen and I like each other. Please help us."
"Is it fulfilled?"
Hearing this, Mr. Si became even more furious and swung his cane at Xia Zhichu, "I will never agree to you two being together, even if I die."
Before the stick fell, Xia Zhichu was pulled into Si Mochen's arms, and the man used his back to block the blow.
Xia Zhichu was well protected, but even at such a close distance, he could clearly hear the muffled groan coming from Si Mochen.
At that moment, she was heartbroken and asked about his situation in a hoarse voice.
Si Mochen smiled and gently stroked her face, saying soothingly, "You've been beaten since you were little, so it's become second nature. It doesn't hurt."
How could it not hurt? She could even hear the sound of his bones hitting each other.
Xia Zhichu cried anxiously and wanted to check on him, but the man held her tightly with all his strength.
Behind him, Mr. Si's furious voice followed, "I tell you, Xiaochen, as long as you don't separate from this woman, I will do everything I can to make her disappear."
"Choose to let her go or let her suffer the same fate as your mother. Weigh the pros and cons yourself!"
Mr. Si's veins bulged all over his body due to anger.
This time Chen Qin didn't follow him. He was so angry that he held on to the car door and gasped for breath, his face looking extremely ugly.
Si Mochen knew that if the stalemate continued, the old man would eventually fall ill, so he endured the pain all over his body and ordered the driver, "Send the old man back to the manor!"
"Yes!" The driver quickly supported the staggering Mr. Si.
Si Mochen arrogantly picked up Xia Zhichu and carried her sideways, then quickly walked towards his car. After only a few steps, he turned back and said to the old man, "Then I'll also tell Grandpa that you won't have this opportunity!"
When Mr. Si heard this, his eyes turned white and he pointed at his back and cursed him non-stop, "Evil son..."
Little did they know that the quarrel between the grandfather and grandson was seen by someone with ulterior motives.
At this moment, Shen Liang was standing at the entrance of the venue watching, with a smug gleam in his eyes, but when he saw Si Mochen protecting Xia Zhichu, he was still jealous to the point of having a stomachache.
He was the one who sent the anonymous text message with the intention of provoking conflict between Mr. Si and Si Mochen.
Some time ago, when he was investigating the background of the Si family, he accidentally learned that Si Mochen and the Si family were not on good terms. Shen Liang thought he could start from this relationship.
As long as the scandal of the Si family is exposed, no matter how capable the Si family is, its reputation will inevitably be affected.
As for Xia Zhichu, he tried to sow discord between the grandfather and the grandson, and he would definitely be criticized by everyone as a troublemaker!
Chen Liang couldn't wait to see Si Mochen and Xia Zhichu in such a miserable state. He would return every bit of Si Mochen's beating to him when the time was right.
And there was Xia Zhichu. Those were the worn-out shoes he didn't want. Even if he couldn't get them, no one else could wear them properly.
The seeds of jealousy gradually sprouted in Shen Liang's heart, and eventually became like a devil that controlled his emotions, so that his heart was filled with thoughts of revenge.
However, just when he was feeling proud, the manager of Yuexiang Tianxia came up to him and handed him a gift personally.
“Mr. Shen, this is a great gift from our boss!”
