The person looked like he had a big smile on his face, and his eyes were also smiling as he looked at Ye Zichen. It seemed like Ye Zichen was very familiar with him.

Shen Xiran looked at him curiously.

However, Si Lianye's expression was extremely cold. With an indifferent nod of her head, she turned around and walked in.

She didn't know why Si Lianye was so cold to his family. She wanted to greet him but didn't know what to say.

When the man saw her actions, he was stunned for a moment before a faint smile appeared on his face.

Si Lianye brought her inside, and as they walked, she said to her, ”There is no need to be so courteous towards the servants here.”

However, she had a different opinion. ”It won't be difficult to greet him.”

He looked at her and said nothing more.

That was the kindness in her heart, and he himself, after all he had experienced, had long since lost any feelings for them.

Although the Si Family was very big, it was still a little smaller than the Old Master Xu. At least, they had entered the house and not sat in the carriage again.

However, this allowed them to walk for about ten minutes.

After entering the house, she felt a soft sound of music blowing over her head. With a glance, she saw that the person in front of her was elegantly dressed, looking extremely eye-catching.

However, she didn't feel it at all. The upper class was just like that. On the surface, it looked bright and beautiful, but many people in the private world were in dire straits. They could do whatever they wanted.

This knowledge had been known since she was very young.

Si Lianye also thought about it more or less, upon seeing the people who eagerly came up to greet him, she nodded lightly, and only upon seeing those who were extremely familiar with him did she stop to talk.

Everything was done in an orderly manner, but Shen Xiran found it strange.

She clearly didn't know many people, but why were they greeting her so warmly?

She swore that she had never seen many of them before, and this time they all acted as if they were old friends.

How strange.

She casually dealt with them, and when she saw them try to draw the topic towards Si Lianye one by one without saying much, she finally realised it. She thought that her charm was so great, but in the end, she thought that they had ulterior motives.

Thinking about that, she also became impatient, she wanted to send everyone away, but in the end, Si Lianye acted first.

He parted the crowd, and as he pulled her out, he said to the crowd, ”I'm sorry, we still have matters to attend to. I'll be taking my leave first.”

Everyone smiled and nodded, expressing their understanding.

When he pulled her out, she asked, ”Where are you taking me?”

He looked at her and said, ”Meet my mother.”

Her heart immediately rose to her throat.

”Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. This time, just a few words will do.” He pointed at her and said, ”Don't say anything. Leave the rest to me.”

You can do this? She looked at him suspiciously. Didn't his mother get angry?

He nodded solemnly at her, ”Don't worry, I'll take care of everything.”

She relaxed a little and gripped his hand tightly. ”Okay.”

She followed him confidently.

There, Imperial Mother was talking to a woman around her age. The two of them looked relaxed, and there was even a trace of a smile on Imperial Mother's face.

She looked around and saw no one she knew. She thought to herself that this woman must be some kind of friend.

Si Lianye brought her to stand in front of Imperial Mother, and said in a deep voice: ”Mom.”

Only then did Imperial Mother turn her head to look at him. A look of happiness flashed past her eyes, but her mouth coldly snorted as she said: ”You're finally willing to come back?”

Si Lianye's expression did not change for a moment as she pulled Shen Xiran who was beside him: ”Mom, this is Shen Xiran.”

The Imperial Mother did not just give her a glance. She immediately felt her gaze turn fierce and could not help but feel a little fearful, but when she thought about what he had said to her previously, her courage increased once again. Not only did she not retreat, she even smiled at her.

Although he said that he wouldn't speak to her, but at least she could greet him, right?

These words caused Imperial Mother to look at her again, but there was still no kindness in her eyes. ”So it's you, I thought you wouldn't come back, I didn't expect to meet you again.”

What did she mean by that? Did she just ridicule him for not speaking properly?

She took a deep breath and slowly said to her, ”That's right, it was fortunate that A Ye was here.”

Imperial Mother's eyes flashed with light. She could see clearly that it was killing intent.

Imperial Mother wanted to kill him.

When this realization entered her mind, she couldn't help but shrink back, only to discover that her hand had tightened.

He squeezed her hand to comfort her, then said to Imperial Mother: ”That's right, last time she was being naughty and left, I spent a lot of time to find her and I won't let her leave again.”

Imperial Mother squinted.

Shen Xiran suddenly realized that her and Si Lianye's expression were so similar at this moment. As expected of mother and son.

There was no mistake.
