At this time, the sun was about to set.
Xia Zhichu was like a deep-sea mermaid, hugged from behind by Si Mochen.
The cameraman finally captured the two of them along with the beautiful sunset scenery in the frame, bringing the shooting to a perfect end.
Everyone is happily enjoying each other's company, but they don't know that Jincheng is shrouded in gloom.
In the bar.
The old man was sitting on the sofa making tea when his confidant knocked on the door and came in, then came to his ear and whispered something.
When the old man heard the last part, a terrifying grin appeared on his face.
"You said that Si Mingyao held a press conference this morning and found a woman to announce her identity as the Si family's granddaughter-in-law, but then Si Mochen immediately accompanied another woman to take wedding photos?"
The confidant nodded heavily and said, "Yes, the news has been flying all over the place. Mr. Si was very angry about it. I heard that he was even admitted to the hospital not long ago."
The old man hummed, "It seems the time has come. Go arrange a car immediately. I want to go to the hospital to visit this old friend!"
"yes!"
The confidant quickly went to make arrangements.
The old man laughed coldly a few times, then took off the jade pendant and started playing with it.
"Old Si, Old Si, I never thought you'd end up like this. It seems like it's time to settle all the grudges we had back then. Since you're already disappointed with Si Mochen, are you planning on taking action against that kid next?"
There was a faint cold light flashing in the old man's eyes, and his hands, as thin as tree bark, kept stroking the totem on the jade pendant. Then, he slammed the jade pendant heavily on the table and continued to speak viciously.
"But do you really think you have everything under control? No, I am the one in control of this game. Don't forget that it was you who abandoned that child, and I was the one who raised him. Whether he returns to the Si family or not is up to me!"
After the old man finished speaking, he laughed grimly.
At this time in the hospital, Mr. Si was no longer in danger of death and was pushed into the intensive care unit.
He was still wearing an oxygen mask on his face, and even at this moment, he couldn't hide the anger on his face.
"Where is Si Guangxu? Did he take my words to heart and go take the child home?"
When Mr. Si saw that Si Guangxu was not around and only Chen Qin was waiting by his side, he became excited again.
Chen Qin was afraid of irritating him, so she quickly comforted him, "Guangxu has already done it, don't get excited."
After hearing this, Mr. Si's sullen face looked much better, but the turbidity in his eyes was still strong.
He had been proud all his life, but ended up being sent to the hospital by Si Mochen time and time again. Now the old man had lost all hope in Si Mochen and was only thinking about supporting a new heir.
Chen Qin knew that the old man had made up his mind this time and Si Mochen was in a very dangerous situation. However, since the old man's accident, she had been calling Xiaochen non-stop, but his phone was either turned off or could not be reached, which made Chen Qin very anxious.
In fact, the situation became so tense because of Xia Zhichu. Chen Qin wanted to ask Xiaochen whether he could still choose Xia Zhichu and give up everything he had now, between a woman and status.
If he still refused to change his ways, she would be powerless to help him even if she wanted to.
"Call Guangxu and tell him to speed up. I can't wait any longer."
While he was deep in thought, Mr. Si's voice came again.
Chen Qin had no choice but to obey the old man's wishes and called Si Guangxu immediately.
At this time, Si Guangxu was also constantly contacting Si Mochen, but the phone was turned off with a prompt tone, which made Si Guangxu, who had always been as steady as a mountain, start to feel a little anxious.
Just as I was about to call Lei Yanchao, I saw Chen Qin's number appear on the screen.
Si Guangxu picked up the phone impatiently and said coldly, "If it was the old man who asked you to call to urge me, then please tell him that I can't hurt my own son, so let him handle this matter himself!"
Chen Qin didn't expect that things would come to this point. This proud man still refused to bow his head and ask for help from her. If he had just lowered his posture a little, no matter how difficult the road ahead was, even at the risk of angering the old man, she would have tried her best to fight for them. But what was the result in the end?
Even though the situation had reached an irreversible point, Si Guangxu still refused to compromise with himself.
Chen Qin's heart was broken beyond repair, and she said tearfully, "Guangxu, is it really that difficult to ask me for help?"
When Si Guangxu on the other end heard these words, he froze in place.
From the beginning to the end, he never considered Chen Qin an integral part of his life. Even after marrying him and becoming a nominal couple, he had never truly looked at this woman.
Over the years, Chen Qin has been by the old man's side, serving as his most trusted right-hand man, handling matters big and small for him, which has resulted in Si Guangxu being sidelined in the company and becoming a puppet.
Si Guangxu also always believed that if one day he and the old man became truly hostile, Chen Qin would eventually choose to stand on the old man's side.
But at this moment, when he heard Chen Qin's humble plea, a strange feeling suddenly surged in his heart.
This has not happened in many years.
But, it only lasts for a few seconds.
Si Guangxu quickly returned to his usual indifference, even shouting into the microphone a little madly, "I beg you, ask the old man to take back his decision and not hurt Xiaochen. Can you do this?"
Faced with the man's questioning, Chen Qin was unable to give him an answer.
At this moment, I just stood there stupidly, suffering from severe torment in my heart.
