Chapter 1338: Chapter 1334: He Missed Too Much
Seeing Si Shen’s expression, Si Limo didn’t say anything further. Originally, he knew somewhat about his father’s nature—that he wouldn’t do something so foolish.
If this were to be exposed, the entire Si Family would be implicated. Although his father sometimes got confused because of women, he wouldn’t do something this stupid.
Luckily, this matter involved his father, Si Limo felt somewhat relieved. If it truly were related to his father, and if anything were to come between him and Xiaren, it would not be as simple as just being displeased.
“It’s nothing, I have some things to take care of, I’ll be going first.”
He could barely say a few words to Si Limo before Si Shen’s expression darkened: “What’s with your attitude? Didn’t I also give my blessing to your marriage with Qiao Xiaren, so why are you still putting on a face?”
Speaking of which, Qiao Xiaren is considered quite lucky.
In the Capital, how many wealthy young ladies end up alone and miserable after marrying the wrong person? In this patriarchal society, women are ultimately the disadvantaged ones. They gamble not only on their family background but also on whether they marry well.
Qiao Xiaren was also destined to be a lady of the house, and didn’t have to suffer like other women.
“So what do you want me to do?” He turned back, looking his father in the eye for the first time, and mocked, “Should I be overwhelmingly grateful, honored beyond measure?”
“You!”
Si Shen’s face turned even darker, but he was too choked up to speak.
“You weren’t like this when you were a child.”
Si Shen thought for a moment and said that.
“When I was a child? I don’t even remember what I was like as a child.” Since Si Shen brought up this topic, Si Limo couldn’t help but ask, “Do you remember when I was seven, you went on a date with Mona?”
“…”
Si Shen truly didn’t expect to be caught by his son back then. It wasn’t really a date, just a simple meeting with Mona.
Si Limo seemed to remember something, his eyes narrowed slightly: “She was the Queen of C Country, but I saw her crying and clinging to you, begging you to help her deal with those rebels in C Country. She wanted to be queen, even wanted to marry that powerful man, and asked for your help. It was from then on that I knew why you didn’t like my mother. You let my mother suffer for over 20 years, shed tears for over 20 years, yet it couldn’t compare to that woman’s simple request.”
A woman’s youth of more than 20 years was wasted on such a man.
Si Shen was thoroughly choked, and his heart was somewhat panicked.
He seemed to have—
Seemed to have missed too much.
He never really said it, but he long had feelings for his own wife.
Si Shen heard his son continue: “From then on, I hated it, hated that you treated a woman’s heart like a toy, hated that mother was so disappointing… It was from that time I swore never to let my woman suffer like that.”
Although he felt ashamed, Si Shen couldn’t bring himself to soften his words in front of his son, still stubbornly saying, “No matter what, I am still your father.”
Si Limo didn’t speak, just gave him a glance and brushed past him.
By the time Si Limo reached the airport lounge, Qiao Xiaren and the old man had already arrived. Because he spoke a bit longer with Si Shen, Si Limo was delayed.
“Grandfather.”
“Limo, you’re here.”
The old man’s expression wasn’t very good at first, but seeing Si Limo arrive, it finally eased a bit.
“Mr. Si, is this how you treat our distinguished guests from C Country?” Mona had always shown a rather haughty demeanor, and seeing Si Limo appear, she put on even more airs.
