This time, Si Runze wasn't blindly filial; on the contrary, he stood on Si Qingyou's side.

"I'm still the clan chief, and I'm your father too. What kind of attitude is this?"

Sikong Huo stood up abruptly and smashed everything on the table onto the ground.

"Dad, I'm just stating the facts!"

Si Runze did not back down and told the truth.

"What a fact!"

Sikong exhaled a breath through his nostrils and stomped off angrily.

Sikong turned and left.

"Dad, I'm so disappointed in you!!"

Si Xueyi spoke to Si Runze in an accusing tone, then chased after him again.

The old man left in anger again, and the rest of the people lost their appetite for the meal.

They ate a couple of bites quickly and then left one by one.

In the end, only Si Qingyou and Si Runze remained in the restaurant.

"Dad, I've dragged you into this!!"

Si Qingyou felt a little embarrassed, after all, her father was already so old, yet he was still always being scolded by Sikong.

"I'm just stating the facts. Qingyou, you're a hardworking child, and our Si family will still have to rely on you in the future!"

Si Runze reached out and patted Si Qingyou on the shoulder.

Qingyou is so capable that she is now famous far and wide. When people talk about the Si family, the first person they think of is Si Qingyou, and no one else comes to mind.

"Ok!"

Si Qingyou didn't make any excuses and nodded.

"Someone outside is looking for Miss Qingyou!"

The maid came over and said in a low voice.

"Let them sit in the living room for a moment!"

Si Runze first instructed the servants to leave, and then he took Si Qingyou to the living room.

At this moment, sitting in the living room was a woman dressed in very exquisite and luxurious clothes.

She was probably in her forties, still charming and with a good figure.

She had her head down, but when she raised it, Si Qingyou finally saw her entire face.

She had her head slightly lowered just now, so it wasn't very clear, but now I can see the shadows under her eyes, especially her eyes, which look so lifeless.

"Mr. Si, Miss Qingyou!"

She stood up, nodded slightly to the two of them, and greeted them.

"You look like Gao Nianci, the president of Junhao Real Estate?"

Si Runze, after all, owns a small company. Although he's not good at catching ghosts, he does run a lot of small businesses.

"Yes, I am Gao Nianci!"

Gao Nianci nodded slightly, speaking weakly and listlessly, appearing very dispirited.

"What brings President Gao here?"

Si Runze nodded politely to her and asked.

Although Gao Nianci hadn't said anything yet, and he wasn't good at catching ghosts, he could guess a thing or two from Gao Nianci's expression.

"I'm here to see your daughter. I've noticed I'm not feeling well, and I... could I talk to her alone?"

Gao Nianci's voice choked with emotion, and then she looked at Si Qingyou.

"well!"

Si Runze nodded.

"Please come with me!"

Si Qingyou stood up and led Gao Nianci to Si Runze's study.

After closing the door, Si Qingyou lit the calming incense that Si Runze usually used.

At this moment, the servant came in, brought the two a pot of tea, and then left.

The room fell silent.
