Chapter 344: The Shameful Fig Leaf



Chen Qin was indeed restless, simply because the Xu Yue in front of her was so similar to herself when she was young.

Not only their words and actions, but also their calm and composed attitude towards things, are simply printed from the same mold.

It was precisely because of the similarity that Chen Qin guessed that Xu Yue's future would definitely be the same as hers.

She is not loved by her husband, and she has no children besides her old man, so she ends up being alone.

Chen Qin was in an extremely heavy mood. When she glanced at Si Guangxu, she saw that he was looking at her with contempt. She immediately understood that Si Guangxu had the same idea as her.

She looked away in panic, and even when Xu Yue handed her the tea, she lost her composure and knocked it to the ground.

"Excuse me, I'm going upstairs to change."

Chen Qin made up an excuse and left, and Si Guangxu had no intention of staying, so he also prepared to leave on the pretext of having something to do at the company.

But just as she stood up, she was stopped by Mr. Si, "Wait a moment, I have something to ask you. As for Xu girl, go accompany your Aunt Chen Qin and cultivate the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law."

Xu Yue nodded and left with Chen Qin.

After everyone left, Mr. Si took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, then asked seriously, "Do you remember the jade pendant your mother gave you?"

Si Guangxu frowned when he heard this.

It was even more unbelievable that the old man asked about the jade pendant out of the blue.

He nodded and said, "Remember that treasure you accidentally found in the army that year? You turned it into jewelry and gave it to your mother."

Seeing that he still remembered, Mr. Si continued, "Then let me ask you, after your mother gave you the jade pendant, you gave it to that woman. Now that woman is dead, where is the jade pendant?"

Hearing what the old man said, Si Guangxu clenched his fists uncontrollably again.

He had told himself countless times in his heart that he must remain calm no matter what happened, but once the old man described Yaqing as that woman, it would easily arouse his anger.

"Since my mother gave it to me, I naturally have the right to decide where the jade pendant goes."

The cold words made Mr. Si quite dissatisfied. He looked at him gloomily and said, "But don't forget, the jade pendant is mine. Now I want the ownership of the jade pendant. You must return it to me immediately."

Si Guangxu narrowed his eyes. Over the years, the old man had never asked about the whereabouts of the jade pendant, but now he inexplicably wanted to get it back. What on earth did he want to do?

"The jade pendant has been buried with Yaqing." Si Guangxu did not intend to confess.

Yaqing gave the jade pendant to Si Mochen that year, but Si Mochen knew a girl in his childhood and gave the jade pendant away. Even he himself didn't know what happened to the jade pendant.

Si Guangxu didn't want to involve Si Mochen, so as not to provoke further conflict between the grandfather and grandson.

When Mr. Si heard this, his eyebrows twitched several times. The treasure he had obtained with great difficulty ended up being given to that woman for nothing.

He immediately flew into a rage and slammed the table, saying, "Even if we have to dig up the grave and open the coffin, you have to return the jade pendant to me. That woman is not the daughter-in-law of my Si family and has no right to receive this jade pendant."

Si Guangxu didn't expect the old man to be so ruthless that he could even say something like digging up the grave and opening the coffin. His face turned ugly and dark, and he just stared at the old man Si.

Finally, his anger was too much to dissipate. He stood up quickly and roared at Mr. Si, "No matter how they say the dead are the greatest, how can you really sleep peacefully at night if you do this, Dad?"

I have always known that Mr. Si is ruthless, but Si Guangxu never expected that he would be so cruel that he would not let Yaqing go until his death.

Sometimes Si Guangxu wondered, after doing so many dirty things, could it be that human hearts are made of stone and don’t they feel the slightest bit of guilt?

Si Guangxu didn't stay and just left the house.

He has always been able to understand Si Mochen and why he left here early to study abroad. This family is indeed too inhumane and too unkind.

Keeping it will only make your mind gradually darker, and even make you disheartened in the end.

Instead of enduring the pain of being oppressed, why not choose to fly high and have freedom?

"Guangxu, if you don't find the jade pendant for me, I will do it myself. You decide." Just as Si Guangxu stepped out of the door, he heard the angry roar of Grandpa Si behind him.

Si Guangxu paused slightly, his anger surging with nowhere to vent, so he kicked the wall madly.

His pupils turned bloodshot, and then he took out his cell phone and called Si Mochen.

"Are you in the company? I want to see you."

When Si Mochen received a call from Si Guangxu, he was more or less surprised.

However, the two still agreed to meet at the coffee shop opposite the Peak Group.

Si Guangxu came very quickly and appeared in front of Si Mochen after a ten-minute journey. However, his face was gloomy and he looked like he had just had a fit of anger.

Si Mochen did not take the initiative to ask about the situation, but Si Guangxu went straight to the point and talked about the old man's plan.

"Your grandfather plans to hold a press conference tomorrow morning to announce Xu Yue's identity. You should already know about this, right?!"

Si Mochen nodded, "I just found out about it not long ago."

Si Guangxu has always known that Si Mochen secretly sent people to keep an eye on Old Man Si, so he knew everything about the Si family.

So when he saw Si Mochen admit it, he was not surprised at all.

"What are you going to do?"

Of course, he also knew that a smart and intelligent person like Si Mochen would naturally not be led by the nose.

At this moment, he was probably already prepared to fight back.

"Since grandpa wants to force me into a desperate situation, there is no need for me to worry about the relationship between grandfather and grandson." Si Mochen picked up the coffee cup, his face expression was very cold, and he spoke very calmly, as if he was confident of winning this counterattack.

Si Guangxu didn't understand why he asked. He knew his son well and knew he was more capable than his father.

Whenever he takes action, he will be able to escape unscathed.

But he was still worried. That night, the old man was so angry that he almost exposed the Si family's secrets. If Si Mochen retaliated too harshly, he was worried that the old man would take the risk and reveal the secret of the year again.

By then, Si Mochen will definitely be the one who gets hurt.

After weighing the pros and cons, Si Guangxu still gave a subtle reminder, "Xiaochen, he is your grandfather after all. No matter what you want to do to protect your rights, give him some face."

Si Mochen narrowed his eyes upon hearing that, and stared at Si Guangxu in a dark and ambiguous manner.
