He understands.
Xia Zhichu was worried that the difference between him and her was too great.
In addition, she had experienced a failed marriage and must be afraid of marriage. If she was put under pressure again because of his family affairs at this time, I am afraid she would find it difficult to accept.
"President."
When he was thinking deeply, Yan Sen suddenly interrupted his thoughts.
Si Mochen slowly opened his eyes and looked at him coldly, "What's the matter?"
"Here's what's going on. Boss Lei called and said he lost out on a multi-million dollar deal because he was helping his wife, and he wants you to compensate him."
Si Mochen narrowed his eyes and hummed, "Okay, you can draw up an agreement later and increase the investment."
Yan Sen looked at his CEO, who agreed to this without even blinking, and he still felt a little bit unbelieving.
The president is very rich, but sacrificing tens of millions for a woman is too generous.
Si Mochen stopped talking and turned his head to look at the prosperous night view of Jincheng. He didn't get out of the car until the car drove into the manor and stopped in the exclusive parking space.
The exquisite manor has a touch of ancient charm. As soon as you step through the gate, you can see a fountain pool with noble koi swimming happily in the water.
The pavilion-style interior decoration makes people feel like stepping into an ancient palace, with luxury displayed everywhere.
This manor was designed as a retirement home for Mr. Si by Si Guangxu, Si Mochen's father, who invited an internationally renowned designer to design it.
As soon as Si Mochen appeared, a servant came out to greet him.
"Master, the old man and his wife have been waiting for you in the living room for a long time."
Si Mochen nodded and stepped into the hall.
Wherever he looked, the elders were sitting on the sofa in the living room chatting. When they saw him come in, their faces immediately fell.
The next second, a blue and white porcelain teacup from the Ming Dynasty flew towards Si Mochen.
Si Mochen stood still, and a few seconds before the teacup hit him, he reached out and caught it easily.
The tea splashed out, and a few drops landed on his clean black suit.
"You bastard, who asked you to come back?"
Mr. Si slapped his thigh angrily and stood up from the sofa.
Although he is old and has gray hair, his voice is still loud and powerful, and it can be seen that he is in good health.
Si Mochen flicked the tea stains off his suit, brought the cup closer, and placed it back on the exquisite tea tray.
"Grandpa, this is your favorite blue and white porcelain tea set. It's the only one of its kind in the world. If you break it, I can't find a replacement for you."
After he finished speaking, he straightened his chest, tilted his head to look at Chen Qin, and said in a light tone, "Also, it was my mother who asked me to come back. If grandpa doesn't want to see me, I will go back to the company to work overtime now."
Seeing him turn around and leave, Mr. Si got anxious and said, "Stop right there, you bastard."
We finally managed to invite this eldest grandson back, but if he runs away again, who knows when he will come back next time.
He is old and doesn't have any big demands. He just hopes that his children and grandchildren can be successful and come back to talk and play chess with him in their spare time.
As a result, they are either out having fun every day or too busy with work to get away.
This family hasn't been reunited for a long time.
Si Mochen curled the corners of his lips and paused.
Just as he was about to sit down, he heard Chen Qin ask, "Xiaochen, you just told the Zhao family that you have a girlfriend. What's going on?"
"Yes, this matter must be made clear tonight, otherwise you can never leave this house." Old Master Si also snorted.
Because of this incident, his relationship with Old Man Zhao became strained. He just called and said he wanted to break off relations with him.
How could he dare to refute? It was his idea to propose the marriage between the two families.
As a result, the eldest grandson was not up to the task and actually stood up the girl from the Zhao family, which made old man Zhao desperate and he would call him every day to talk about it, no matter what.
"Since Grandpa knows everything, I won't hide it. I do have a girlfriend, and I will definitely not marry Miss Zhao."
The flavor of determination is obvious.
The old man was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "What is the origin of that woman that she actually asked you to give up such a good offer from the Zhao family?"
"She's just an ordinary person."
Si Mochen crossed his hands and spoke concisely.
The lady from a noble family was indeed a good match for Si Mochen. She must have received a good upbringing since childhood, and possessed a high level of education and various talents, but she was not what Si Mochen liked.
This kind of woman is like a vase that can only be kept at home. She is very scheming and occasionally has a bad temper. He has no patience to coax her.
But Xia Zhichu is different. She is like a weed growing on a cliff. After experiencing wind and rain, she still stubbornly looks up towards the sun.
Her smile can bring him a ray of light in the darkness.
The key is that she is intelligent, generous, kind and sensible, and can be the most suitable woman behind him.
Thinking of this, Si Mochen's mouth curled up uncontrollably.
Although it was only fleeting, Chen Qin still captured it clearly.
Chen Qin's face looked a little unhappy. An hour ago, she sent people out to investigate the woman around Si Mochen, but the result was blank.
Apart from Yan Sen, he has never had close contact with any woman. He goes to and from work every day, and his life is so regular that no one can find any flaws.
Chen Qin knew that it was all a lie. Si Mochen must have blocked everything from that woman in order to protect her.
Si Mochen also knew it the moment Chen Qin looked at her, but he remained calm throughout, his confidence frightening.
He knew everything about his family members' private actions.
But he didn't care. Even if his family investigated, they would never know everything about Xia Zhichu.
The old man picked up his cane and hit Si Mochen directly, "Don't you consider your own status? If an ordinary woman approaches you, she must have some ulterior motive."
Si Mochen did not dodge this time and let the stick hit him. The old man obviously used a lot of strength and his bones ached slightly.
But he didn't say a word and endured it all with a stern face.
"She won't."
His tone was extremely firm and confident.
Seeing that he had been blinded by lard, the old man wanted to continue beating him, but was stopped by Chen Qin.
"Dad, Xiaochen has had little contact with women, so he must have been bewitched by that man and had his mind clouded. Don't worry, I will give Xiaochen some advice."
"What's there to persuade? I think he is determined to marry that woman." The old man was obviously very angry. He held his chest and gasped loudly.
Si Guangxu, who had been sitting quietly beside him, also spoke up, "Xiaochen, your grandfather and mother are doing this for your own good. You should think this over carefully. It's not appropriate for an ordinary woman to marry into our family."
"So, what kind of woman do you think is suitable?"
When Si Mochen said this, he turned his head to look in the direction of Chen Qin, and then looked at his father again. His eyes were like thick ink, so gloomy that it could not be dissolved.
