"Third brother, what do you think about the Gu family?"
After Si Niannian went upstairs, Si Xiyou started this topic.
Mrs. Si continued to eat aside. Her son was older and had his own ideas. Besides, the family had long been handed over to the third child, so she would not get involved.
Si Xinghe then gave an overview of what happened last night.
"After the auction, there must be a lot of people staring at me. Now that I have made a big deal out of the matter with the Gu family, others will speculate whether the treasure map fell into the hands of the Gu family."
Si Muen raised his head, "But Vice President Zhou of Dynasty used a pen to cover it up. How did Third Uncle know that others would suspect that the treasure map was in your hands? After all, Vice President Zhou spent 4 billion to capture it. The treasure map that came here is about the location of the Xuanwu Lamp. No one will believe that he really gave the treasure map to you, right?"
"It doesn't matter to me whether others believe it or not."
Si Xinghe wiped his mouth with a napkin and continued: "Because I came to the Gu family and did not hesitate to fight with Gu Cheng personally, it means that I have really lost something. Even if it is not a treasure map, it must be something else very important. And this thing is now in Gu Cheng’s hands.”
Si Mu'en's eyes lit up, "Maybe it's a trade secret, or maybe it's something that can blackmail Third Uncle or our Si family, so there will be other people who want this thing and cause trouble for the Gu family?"
Si Xinghe and Si Xiyou looked appreciatively at the same time, and Mrs. Si also looked pleased.
"Gu Xiuyun did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to get the treasure map at the auction, which is enough to expose the ambitions of their Gu family. Marrying with the Lu family is just their first step. Our family is in a special situation. Something is going to happen. Your dad and I are the only two new members, so I have to give you some time to grow up."
After saying that, Si Xinghe stood up, walked to Si Muen, and patted his shoulder.
He said earnestly: "Eldest nephew, you are three years older than Chen Su, but you are far behind him in terms of structure and city government. This is not a problem of your talent, but a matter of different growth environment and opportunities. In the past, I only I want to protect you all well, but I ignore that setbacks are the driving force for your true growth. It is the fault of the third uncle. From now on, you can go on your own. Remember, until the moment of life and death, the third uncle will not care anymore. you."
This sentence may sound heartless, but it is necessary.
After Si Xinghe finished speaking, he looked at Mrs. Si and Si Xiyou, "Mom, second brother, don't interfere, let Mu En train on his own."
Si Xiyou put down his bowls and chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and acted very indifferently.
"I never interfered with his growth from beginning to end. It was you who protected him too tightly."
Si Xinghe was slightly startled and turned to look at Mrs. Si.
"mom… "
"Don't look at me." Madam Si waved her hand, "They say my old lady protects her grandson, but I also protect the trivial matters in life. My third child, you are the one who loves him the most in this family."
Si Xinghe blinked, "Is that so?"
"Tch, so what? My Si Xinghe's nephew, isn't it worth pampering?"
"Pfft!"
Mrs. Si couldn't hold back and laughed.
"No matter what, you are right. Who is following this bastard?"
Si Muen stood up and took a deep breath, "Third uncle, I understand your painstaking efforts. Don't worry, I know what to do next."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Mrs. Si and then at Si Xiyou.
"Grandma, Dad, I have completed the formalities for suspending my studies. I want to join the army."
