He broke his vows for her, and a tycoon descended to earth for love.

Her confident pronouncements were simply a plea for her mother to stop being so stubborn.

She desperately wanted her mother to give her a definite answer that would put her at ease.

But no one spoke in the bedroom for a long time.

Guan Fengru gripped the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands, silently watching her daughter in front of her.

Siyi grew increasingly anxious and couldn't help but step forward and press down on her mother's hands, pleading, "Mom... I beg you, is there really nothing in this house that you'd miss? My brother and I..."

"Siyi, you answer the phone first."

Her phone kept ringing. Guan Fengru clearly didn't want to say anything more, so she gently pushed her hand away. "We'll talk about this later. You answer the phone first. Your dad should be waking up from his nap soon. I'll go check on him."

"mother"

"Siyi, I'll say it again: some things aren't what they seem. There are many things in this world that can't be clearly distinguished by the naked eye, understand? Don't meddle in my affairs. I can't answer anything for you right now, but I can assure you that I haven't done anything to betray your father."

She hadn't expected her mother's voice to be so calm and composed.

The initial panic and shock had long since disappeared.

At this moment, Guan Fengru looked at Siyi calmly and said, "Also, no matter how you and Jiang Yanhui met, you can't continue to be entangled with him. Siyi, you should think about your own identity and Jiang Yanhui's identity. You and he are not from the same world."

"Siyi, your father has always had high expectations for you. You are doing very well now. If you and Jiang Yanhui really have something going on, it will definitely ruin your future, do you know that?"

"Mom, I'm not talking about Jiang Yan Hui and me at all, I'm talking about you and Jiang Ji Zhen..."

"Alright, I know what I'm doing. Just remember what I said."

Siyi couldn't understand why her mother kept describing the Jiang family in that way; she clearly knew everything.

She knew that Jiang Yan was from a different world than her.

What about Jiang Jizhen?

She didn't know anything else, but at least she knew very well what was going on.

Old ginger is spicier. If Jiang Yan Hui is someone you can't even approach in your mother's heart, then what is Jiang Ji Zhen?

Why did she stop her relationship with Jiang Yan Hui, but never mention Jiang Ji Zhen?

They don't even want to give themselves a guarantee.

She really couldn't understand what her mother was worried about.

She wanted to say something more, but her phone kept ringing. Guan Fengru left a few words and hurriedly left her room. Siyi answered the phone, feeling annoyed, and her tone was a bit sharp as soon as she opened her mouth: "What is it?"

The call was made by her assistant.

Because she has another lawsuit to fight tomorrow.

We had originally planned to go through all the documents related to that lawsuit this afternoon.

Who knew she didn't go to the office all afternoon? Her assistant couldn't wait any longer and kept calling her.

Unexpectedly, her tone was very unpleasant as soon as the call connected, which startled the assistant. After a long pause, she stammered, "Attorney Ye, I'm sorry to bother you, but you have a court appearance tomorrow..."

Siyi suddenly remembered that she had something important to do. She reached out and tapped her throbbing temples hard while taking a deep breath.

After calming down, she spoke, "I'm sorry, I was a little upset just now because of something. Please don't mind it."

"It's alright, Attorney Ye. I just wanted to ask if you're coming over this afternoon? I have a court hearing tomorrow, and I'd like to go over a lot of documents with you again..."

Siyi closed her eyes briefly before calmly saying, "Wait for me a moment. I'll be at the office in half an hour. You can organize all the documents you have on hand first."

After hanging up the phone, Siyi shook her head, temporarily putting aside all her worries.

She took a shower and looked at herself in the mirror while changing clothes. Her neck was covered with ambiguous hickeys.

A burning sensation ran through her heart, and she remembered what she had said to Ye Zhenghao before. That headache and helplessness returned.

She found a round-neck dress in the dressing room, and then tied a silk scarf around Bai Xi's neck to cover up the hickeys.

At this point, she didn't want to think too much, so she changed her clothes and hurriedly went downstairs.

As soon as I reached the turn of the stairs, I saw my father and mother sitting side by side in the living room downstairs, talking about something.

She could vaguely see that Ye Xiongming's lips were slightly curved, as if he were smiling.

Siyi's heart trembled slightly, and she didn't know how to describe the complex feeling she was experiencing at that moment.

The parents in front of me looked so harmonious.

Actually, if she hadn't learned about her mother's affair with Jiang Jizhen, she would have truly believed that her parents were the most loving couple in the world.

In her memory, they seemed to have rarely even argued, from childhood to adulthood.

Because my father was a judge.

My mother is also a university professor.

Both of them were intellectuals.

My views on marriage are quite different from those of many others.

They know how to respect each other in the way that the other person likes best, give each other enough space, and even if there are disputes, they will resolve them in the most peaceful way.

But now...

If such a thing really becomes public knowledge, can it still be resolved?

"Siyi?" Ye Xiongming saw her standing at the top of the stairs first, then asked with a smile, "When did you get back?"

Siyi snapped out of her daze, her gaze unconsciously lingering on Guan Fengru's face.

But she looked calm and showed no signs of panic or unease.

She sighed inwardly before speaking calmly, "Dad, I've been back for a while, but I have to go out again now. I need to go and look at some documents at the firm. You don't need to wait for me for dinner tonight."

When Ye Xiongming heard that she was going to work, he naturally didn't object, but reminded her, "Remember to make yourself something to eat. Work is important, but your health is more important."

Siyi nodded and said "Mmm," then glanced at Guan Fengru and said, "Mom and Dad, I'll be going now."

The two greeted each other casually.

Guan Fengru watched Siyi walk out the front door before speaking to her husband, "Did you know that our daughter is dating someone recently?"

Ye Xiongming exclaimed in surprise, "Ah! She's in a relationship?"

“I just found out about this, too.”

Guan Fengru gently touched the side of the cup with her fingers, thought for a moment and then said, "I heard her tell Zheng Hao that she was going to bring her boyfriend home in a few days."

Ye Xiongming pondered for a moment, seemingly lost in thought, "Siyi is not young anymore. Although I have some selfish motives and hope that she can establish her career first, she is still a girl, and girls always have to get married."

He paused, then added with a touch of pride, "However, our daughter has always been very career-oriented. You see, since she got her law license, her performance in court has improved with each case. I am very confident that, given time, she will definitely become an outstanding lawyer."

Guan Fengru smiled gently, "I know you've always hoped your daughter would become a top lawyer, but don't put too much pressure on her. If she really brings a boyfriend home, you won't object, will you?"

"Heh, do you still think I'm a dictator? It's perfectly natural for her to date at her age. But it also depends on who she's dating. If the other person is well-off and good to our daughter, then of course I won't object."

This time, Guan Fengru didn't say anything. She silently poured herself a cup of tea and took two small sips.

When Siyi drove to the firm, it was almost time to get off work.

She thought that she had delayed her work due to her personal matters, so she was willing to work overtime, but her assistant had no reason to work overtime with her.

So she called her assistant on her way home and told her to prepare her batch of documents and then leave work.

After giving her that explanation, she wasn't in a hurry to go to the firm.

She was planning to drive all night anyway, and she might run into her older brother and mother on her way home.

So he simply turned the car around, intending to grab something to eat at a nearby restaurant before heading to the office.

As dusk settled, she drove around the commercial street twice before finally settling on a French restaurant.

Thinking that I hadn't had French food in a while, my stomach started growling with hunger.

She parked her car in the parking lot before entering the restaurant. A waiter nodded respectfully to her and led the way enthusiastically, "Miss, how many are in your party?"

Siyi always likes to sit by the window when she eats. As soon as she enters the restaurant, her eyes subconsciously look for a seat by the window. She casually replied, "I'm the only one here. Is there a seat by the window?" But before she could finish the word "seat," she stopped.

Two people were sitting at a window not far away.

A man and a woman were there. The man was wearing a simple white shirt with the cuffs slightly rolled up. Because he was facing her, she could clearly see that he had also habitually unbuttoned a few buttons at the collar.

His well-defined pectoral muscles were faintly visible, making his already unruly nature even more sexy and alluring.

Opposite him sat a woman wearing a beret.

She had her back to Siyi, so Siyi couldn't see her face clearly.

All that could be seen was her long, jet-black hair cascading smoothly down her back like a waterfall. Even from that distance, one could sense her ethereal, otherworldly aura.

In that instant, Siyi felt as if she heard her heart thud, as if something had shattered.

She clearly saw Jiang Yan Hui not far away, staring intently at the woman opposite her.

He didn't know what the woman said, but his gaze could almost be described as gentle as water.

He then reached out and pinched her cheek...
