Si Mobai walked into the hall and heard his grandfather mumbling excitedly.
He sat across from his grandfather and asked, "Grandpa, why don't you discuss it with me when you hold a banquet for Chen Yu and Chen Xi?"
The old man moved the guest list away from his eyes and sat up straight.
"Mo Bai, it's so late, why are you here?"
He put the list on the table, looked at Si Mobai's stern face, and continued: "I am holding a banquet for my great-grandson, and I am using my pension. Why should I discuss it with you?"
After finishing speaking, he did not forget to blame: "You brat, you still care about grandpa!"
Si Mobai pinched his eyebrows and felt a headache.
"Grandpa, how dare I care about you? It's just that this matter is not trivial. You should inform me before making a decision."
"You brat, do you still have to report to you when grandpa does something?"
Mr. Si didn't take his words seriously at all. He picked up the guest list and continued to study it.
Si Mobai saw that it was too soft, so he could only do it hard.
"Grandpa, I don't agree to let Chen Yu and Chen Xi recognize their ancestors and return to the clan now!"
Mr. Si moved away from the guest list again, his eyes stayed on him, and his brows furrowed.
"Mo Bai, do you know what bastard words you are talking about?"
Regarding the matter of his two great-grandchildren, the old man showed seriousness for the first time.
"You brought Chen Yu and Chen Xi back to the Si family when they were already old. How many crimes have they suffered outside in the past few years?
You don't want to make up for them, but you still don't agree to let them recognize their ancestors and return to their clan. Do you think what you are saying is human?"
Si Mobai's face turned dark after being scolded.
"Grandpa, I just think now is not a good time."
"Then when is the good time? You've already made Qianqian and the child wait for four or five years. Do you want to wait another four or five years?"
The old man put the guest list aside and lectured: "Mo Bai, has grandpa ever taught you that the most important thing for a man is responsibility!"
Si Mobai originally wanted to come to persuade his grandfather, but he didn't expect to be scolded in the face. He was really aggrieved.
But the person in front of him was his grandfather, so he had no choice but to obey.
…
When I opened the door, there was no one in the living room.
"Chen Yu, Chen Xi, I'm back."
She shouted, but there was no response from the children. Only Sun E came out of the kitchen.
"Qian Qian is back. Are you hungry? Auntie just made some rice porridge for Chen Xi. Do you want to have a bowl too?"
Su Qian raised her head and looked at the clock.
It's two o'clock in the afternoon.
"Aunt Sun, why are you making food for Chen Xi at this time? Didn't she have lunch?"
Sun E looked worried.
"I don't know why, but Chenxi hasn't wanted to eat since last night. I checked and found that she wasn't sick, so I guessed that she was new to the imperial capital and had a bad appetite due to acclimatization, so I cooked some rice porridge for her.
With."
Su Qian's face turned serious when she heard that Chen Xi had been unwilling to eat since last night.
"Aunt Sun, please do your work first. I'll go in and see the morning light."
Su Qian opened the door.
Su Chenxi was sitting listlessly on the bed, and Su Chenyu was making faces in front of him, trying to make her happy.
"Baby Chenxi, look at me, I'm a big tiger, oooh..."
Su Chenyu squeezed his facial features together and moved closer to his sister.
But Su Chenxi showed no reaction and didn't even look at him.
After making a face, he found his mother standing at the door and immediately ran to her as if he saw a life-saving straw.
"Mommy, please persuade Chen Xi. She has been unwilling to eat since last night, and she has ignored me at all."
Su Qian rubbed his head and said with a smile: "Mommy is here to persuade her. Aunt Sun has cooked rice porridge. You go out to eat some."
"Grandma Sun's rice porridge is the most delicious."
Before Su Chenyu went out, he didn't forget to stick out his tongue to his sister: "Chenxi baby, if you don't come out quickly, I will eat them all."
Su Chenxi coughed but didn't respond.
Su Qian sat over and held her little hand.
Seeing that she didn't respond, Su Qian hugged her directly.
Unexpectedly, Su Chenxi reacted violently and pushed her away vigorously.
She looked at her daughter who was suddenly irritable and lost her temper inexplicably.
"Su Chenxi, have you had enough trouble?"
It was the first time she spoke to her daughter so loudly.
Because at this moment, she also felt aggrieved.
In the past few years, she wanted to give her heart and soul to her daughter, just to make her live a happier life.
But this daughter always neglected her because of this strange man.
Every time, she had to endure the heartache to comfort her.
But she is human, and she will be tired.
This time, she finally broke out.
Su Chenxi looked up at mommy.
Seeing that Mommy's eyes were moist, she frowned, with some incomprehensible emotions in her eyes.
Su Qian looked at her frown and suddenly realized that her tone was a little heavier.
"Sorry, Chen Xi, mommy couldn't control her emotions right now."
She reluctantly apologized to her daughter in an attempt to gain her forgiveness.
But what Su Chenxi wanted was not her apology.
After not hearing what she wanted to hear, Su Chenxi shrank back and continued to squat on the bed in a daze.
Sun E heard the movement in the room, opened the door and walked in.
Looking at the stalemate between Su Qian and her daughter in the room, she could probably guess something.
She did not ask, but smiled at Su Qian and said, "Qianqian, the rice porridge is ready. Come out and eat some."
Su Qian glanced at her daughter and responded to Sun E: "Okay."
…
In the restaurant.
Sun E brought a bowl of milk and rice porridge to Su Qian and sat down opposite her.
"Qianqian, I have watched Chen Xi and Chen Yu grow up, and in my heart, I have long regarded them as my grandchildren.
Don't blame auntie for talking too much. Auntie is also a person with children. Parents are indispensable for children.
Have you ever thought about asking the children’s father to come and see them?”
Su Qian pulled at the rice porridge for a moment.
Then, she scooped up the rice porridge and put it in her mouth, swallowing it with difficulty.
"Aunt Sun, I know what you mean, but..."
After hesitation, she confessed: "I have no idea who their father is."
Sun E was stunned for a moment.
In all these years, she had never heard Su Qian mention the father of her two children.
Occasionally, when she asked, Su Qian would deliberately avoid it, and then she simply stopped asking.
Unexpectedly, it was for this reason.
Sun E was not one to poke her pain, so she quickly apologized.
"I'm sorry, Qianqian, it's Auntie who's too talkative. Auntie doesn't want to inquire about your personal affairs, but if Chenxi stays like this, it will have some impact on her growth."
"I know."
Su Qian put down the porridge spoon.
Why didn't she worry about this?
Over the years, she had seen Chen Xi every time, whether it was a famous pediatrician or a psychiatrist, but it had no effect at all.
She also understood what Aunt Sun meant. Maybe Chenxi would get better if she found the child's father.
Although, she was extremely repelled by this man.
But remembering her daughter's state just now, she finally relaxed.
"Aunt Sun, thank you for your concern. If I have a chance, I will inquire about his whereabouts."
Sun E smiled kindly.
"Qianqian, eat it while it's hot."
Su Qian nodded.
"Aunt Sun, I may not be at home often these days, so Chen Xi and Chen Yu will ask you to take care of them."
"Qianqian, what you said is too outrageous. Auntie said that Chen Xi and Chen Yu are her grandchildren. There is no reason why they should not take good care of them. If anything happens to you, just go and handle it with peace of mind."
