Miss Si's feigned innocence went too far, and the aloof Mr. Bo was easily swayed.

The news that Si Yuan and Bo Yusen are together—

Si Yingying was even more shocked and found it harder to accept that Si Qingwan was going to hand over the Si family to Si Yuan.

How did Si Yuan end up with Bo Yusen?

Aren't they not attracted to each other?

Could it be—

Was it because she went to see Xiang Mingche that she created an opportunity for Si Yuan to seduce Bo Yusen?

It seemed that Si Yingying only realized a problem at this moment.

Si Yuan said she loved Xiang Mingche very much, and she believed in Xiang Mingche's love for her without a doubt.

But when the two broke off the engagement, she did so so decisively, as if she had no regrets whatsoever.

Even when they get married, they can still come and attend with a smile.

It turns out that she had already hooked up with Bo Yusen back then, so Xiang Mingche was a burden to her, not something she missed.

Furthermore, at the homecoming banquet, her USB drive was replaced.

At the time, she was focused on marrying Xiang Mingche and felt that as long as she had achieved her goal, she didn't pursue the matter further.

Looking back now, when she lost her phone and went looking for it, it was Si Yuan who found it for her. Perhaps Si Yuan secretly hid it first and then put it back when she went to look for it.

At that time, Si Yuan had already seen the contents of her phone.

So, Si Yuan already knew about her and Xiang Mingche's affair, but kept quiet about it, intending to make a big scene at the homecoming banquet.

Thinking hard.

Si Yingying felt a chill starting from her feet, and her forehead and back were covered in cold sweat.

If that's true, then Si Yuan is absolutely terrifying.

Even more frightening is-

Si Yingying remembered what Si Qingwan had said before: if she could win over Bo Yusen, Si Qingwan would hand over the Si family to her.

She only remembered handing the Si family over to her, completely forgetting the premise Si Qingwan had mentioned.

Now that Si Yuan and Bo Yusen are together, it just meets Si Qingwan's requirements. Would she really hand over the Si family to Si Yuan?

If that's the case, then she's really at a huge loss.

"no……"

Si Yingying was extremely anxious. "I want to go home and find my mother."

Si Aofu raised an eyebrow but did not stop her.

The more muddy the waters the Si family stirs up, the happier she becomes.

"Ah Yuan, Ah Yuan... what are you going to do now?"

Unlike usual, Si Yingying didn't rush into the house to confront Si Qingwan.

During her time at the Xiang family home, she did indeed learn a great deal under Wang Congrong's tutelage.

She swiped three million yuan from Xiang Mingche's card to buy bird's nest, mentioning the Si family.

Compared to her hurried and flustered state in the coffee shop, she was a little calmer now, with a fake smile on her face.

"Mom... Aunt Shuqing... I've come to see you..."

Si Yingying eagerly took out the bird's nest, "Mom, this is top-grade bird's nest. It's good for your health. I've noticed you've lost a lot of weight lately, so you need to eat more."

Si Qingwan looked at Si Yingying indifferently. Si Yingying thought she had disguised herself very well, but in Si Qingwan's eyes, she was no different from a transparent person.

To put it nicely, one wouldn't visit a temple without a reason.

To put it bluntly, it's like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken—it's up to no good.

Si Qingwan didn't expose Si Yingying, but simply smiled faintly, "Yingying, that's thoughtful of you. How have things been with Mingche lately?"

At this moment, Si Yingying's mind was filled with thoughts of Bo Yusen, Si Yuan, and the heir of the Si family.

He no longer cared about himself or Xiang Mingche.

She gave a perfunctory reply, "It's fine."

Si Qingwan nodded. "Now that you're Mrs. Xiang, you need to be extra careful in your conduct and speech. And the matter of having children should also be put on the agenda."

Si Yingying's expression changed slightly; her mother wanted her to have a child.

Sure enough, she never considered handing the Si family over to her.

But Si Yingying wouldn't give up.

She always felt that even if her mother favored Si Yuan, she would never hand over the Si family to a daughter who had no blood relation with Xuan.

Thinking of this, Si Yingying took the initiative to speak, "Mom, you've been working so hard for the Si family these past few days, and you've even got gray hair. Now that I've settled down and become a wife, I've grown a lot. From now on, I can help you manage the Si family's affairs, so you won't have to work so hard all by yourself."

Si Qingwan slowly took a sip of tea. "I'm very happy and gratified that Yingying has such a kind heart..."

Si Yingying was secretly delighted; sure enough, she still had hope.

However, Si Qingwan changed the subject, "But... now that you're a member of the Xiang family, you should put your husband first and consider Mingche and the Xiang family in everything you do. As for the family... I'm old, but I'm not incapacitated, so you don't need to worry about me."

Si Yingying's smile gradually disappeared. She wasn't stupid; she understood Si Qingwan's meaning perfectly well.

"Hehe...Mom, I'm your only daughter. Even if I get married, I'll still be your dearest daughter. How can I not care about the Si family's affairs?"

Si Yingying stared at Si Qingwan, noticing that her expression remained unchanged and her face grew increasingly grim.

Si Yingying became anxious. "Besides, didn't Mom promise me that she would hand over the Si family to me? The Si family is my responsibility. As the daughter of the Si family, I must take on the responsibility of revitalizing the Si family."

Si Qingwan put down her cup, her feigned gentleness gone, replaced by icy coldness. "Revitalize the Si family?"

Si Yingying was always a little scared whenever Si Qingwan had a blank expression, and this time was no exception.

"I told you to deal with Bo Yusen, but you went against my wishes and got together with Xiang Mingche."

"You knew perfectly well that Xiang Mingche was A Yuan's fiancé, yet you took those photos and videos, causing the Si family to lose all face."

"How can someone who can utterly humiliate the Si family possibly revitalize it?"

Enraged, Si Yingying stood up angrily, looking down at Si Qingwan. "I knew you were still angry about this, but Mingche is my fiancé. If it weren't for Si Yuan's parents..."

"That's enough—"

Si Qingwan didn't want to get into any of that nonsense, and she didn't want to see Si Yingying not only failing to repent after making a mistake, but also blaming everyone else for it.

Once the Si family is handed over to her, that's when things will truly be over.

"Now that you've married Xiang Mingche as you wished, you should behave yourself and live a good life with him, instead of frequently visiting your parents' home and causing gossip."

"Oh--"

Si Yingying sneered, "In the end, you never intended to hand over the Si family to me."

Si Qingwan faced Si Yingying directly, "When I brought you back, I did consider handing the Si family over to you, but you have disappointed me too much."

"Do you think I'd believe you? From the very beginning, you've thought Si Yuan was better than me, more capable of handling important tasks. You knew her parents swapped us, yet you still kept her with you. Isn't it because you think I grew up in the countryside and am not as good as Si Yuan, whom you raised single-handedly?"

Si Yingying's eyes were red as she shed tears of anger.

"You favor Si Yuan, you dote on her, your feelings for her are deeper than for me, your own daughter, and now you even want to hand the Si family over to her... Aren't you afraid that this outsider will ruin all your hard work?"

Si Qingwan was also angered by Si Yingying's attitude. "You never know how to reflect on your mistakes and always blame others. You haven't made any progress at all."

Si Qingwan's health was deteriorating. When she got excited, she felt dizzy and her vision went black. She almost collapsed.

He Shuqing supported her with concern, "Qingwan..."

It took Si Qingwan a while to recover. She wearily pinched the bridge of her nose and said, "Shu Qing, let her go."

He Shuqing glanced at Si Yingying and said, "Yingying, your mother has been overworked lately and needs more rest. You should go home as soon as possible."

Si Yingying clenched her fists, a surge of resentment welling up inside her.

"Mom, you might not know this, but Si Yuan and Bo Yusen are together. If you had to choose between Mrs. Bo and the head of the Si family, which would Si Yuan choose?"

Si Yingying gave a mocking smile, "I guess Si Yuan will choose Mrs. Bo, after all, ten Si families can't compare to one Bo family."

After a pause, Si Yingying continued, "Your blood flows in my veins. We are mother and daughter, even if our bones are broken, our tendons are still connected. Although you are heartless, I will not be ungrateful. I am waiting for you to come and inherit the Si family."

Si Yingying, wearing high heels, proudly left the Si family.

Si Qingwan was furious with her; her chest heaved and her face turned ashen.

Thinking of what Si Yingying had said, she gave a cold smile.

Mrs. Bo and the Si family.

A-Yuan only has the Si family as an option.

After meeting with Bo Yusen, Si Yuan felt much more energetic.

She no longer runs away, nor does she worry about what happened back then.

Instead of dwelling on the pain, it's better to find out the truth about what happened back then.

Therefore, Si Yuan made an appointment with Jiang Yingxue.

I wanted to see if Jiang Yingxue had any way to remind her of the past.

Jiang Yingxue gave Si Yuan several psychological counseling sessions and discovered that Si Yuan was very resistant to things from her childhood.

This condition doesn't seem like memory loss caused by a cold or fever.

"Ms. Si, given your current state and your strong desire to recall past events, I suggest you try hypnotherapy."

Si Yuan didn't know much about hypnotherapy.

In the past few days, although Bo Yusen has suppressed the news on the internet, she can still hear people talking about Si Zhixia wherever she goes.

They called her a slut and a mistress.

Whether in her dreams or in the hallucinations that sometimes occurred to her, she always felt that Aunt Zhixia was a very gentle person, not the person they described.

I accept.

Si Yuan didn't know if the hypnotherapy would be successful, but before the hypnosis, she went to the Si family cemetery.

Because of Si Zhixia's incident, many people went to the Si family cemetery and littered, and Si Zhixia's nameless tombstone was even scribbled with insulting words.

Si Yuan was furious, but it was also a good thing, as she could remove the tombstone and replace it with one engraved with the name "Si Zhixia".

Si Zhixia is a taboo subject in the Si family. When Si Yuan did this, she was already prepared to accept the punishment.

But Si Qingwan wasn't angry at all. Instead, she patted her shoulder and said, "A Yuan, you're better than your mother."

At this moment, Si Yuan still did not understand what Si Qingwan meant by those words.

He Shuqing was also moved to tears.

"Mom, do you have a picture of Aunt Zhixia?"

He Shuqing glanced at Si Qingwan, who shook her head. "No."

Si Yuan nodded without saying anything more.

At this time, at the Bo family's old residence.

Ji Yuting angrily tore the Buddhist prayer beads in her hand off.

One by one, the prayer beads fell to the ground, scattered in various places.

Ji Yuting watched coldly as Madam Bo, who was always known for her composure and dignity, now had a ferocious expression.

"That's Si Yuan for you! I really underestimated her; she actually engraved that bitch's name on her tombstone!"

"Madam, should we call someone...?"

Ji Yuting raised her hand to stop her, "No need. She's much bolder than her mother. It seems I have to go and meet her, whether for Yusen or something else."
