When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase

Xi Siyan didn’t say much, just quietly watched An Rui, seemingly waiting for what he would say next.

An Rui hesitated for two seconds before speaking: "You know Zhou Real Estate, right? The Zhou Family in B City is second only to Shengshi Group, and Cheng Chen is the daughter of the Zhou Family."

Although An Rui believed they were just pure friends without any messy entanglements, he was still slightly surprised upon hearing Zhou Chengchen’s identity.

But now looking at Xi Siyan, he found that there was not the slightest reaction from him.

Xi Siyan just looked at him calmly and then calmly bowed his head to continue with his tasks. An Rui opened his mouth but then closed it, thinking it wasn’t really a big deal.

But in fact, An Rui guessed wrong; Xi Siyan wasn’t as calm as he appeared. He had guessed that Zhou Chengchen’s family should be well-off; after all, a family living in a villa couldn’t be that poor.

He just hadn’t expected her to be a young lady, but it wasn’t important.

To him, she was Zhou Chengchen, just Zhou Chengchen, the girl who loudly professed her affection for him in his heart.

Zhou Chengchen’s identity didn’t significantly affect Xi Siyan. He didn’t even think about her being his stepfather’s boss in a certain sense.

After finishing his competition questions and knowing An Ge had gotten up, Xi Siyan went to help her out with some studies and naturally stayed for dinner at the An Family.

"Si Yan, the Spring Festival is coming soon, why don’t you spend it with us, get a bit festive."

During dinner, Mrs. An warmly invited him, Xi Siyan smiled slightly: "Thank you for your kindness, Aunt, but I should head back there."

The "there" Xi Siyan referred to was naturally the Li Family, and Mrs. An said no more.

She just felt sorry for this child who was the same age as her own son.

However, although Xi Siyan said so, the chance of him going to the Li Family was actually very small. There obviously wasn’t a place for him there, but he didn’t want to crash at the An Family either. When the family gathered, blending in wouldn’t feel like festivity but rather more desolate.

It wasn’t that he didn’t have a family, just that his family didn’t want him.

But for this situation, Xi Siyan was used to it, without any extra thoughts. Spending New Year’s Eve alone amidst others’ family reunions was no problem for him.

——

Just as Xi Siyan thought, four days before New Year’s Eve, Zhang Yi came to find him, euphemistically suggesting he spend the New Year by himself.

Zhang Yi took a red envelope from her pocket and placed it into Xi Siyan’s hand: "Si Yan, whatever the case, during the New Year you should buy yourself something nice to eat, don’t shortchange yourself."

Xi Siyan looked at the red envelope in his hand, smiled mockingly, but said nothing.

Don’t shortchange himself?

Did she really have the nerve to say such words?

Facing Xi Siyan now, Zhang Yi also felt very awkward, she still had a bit of conscience, not having truly abandoned him.

Zhang Yi knew clearly, if she had just valued Xi Siyan a little more, taught him to integrate into the Li Family, and been a bit more assertive herself, Xi Siyan wouldn’t be in his current state.

Ultimately, it was because she had shifted her focus, after having children with Li Chengyuan, Zhang Yi’s attention finally transferred to those two children.

If she, his biological mother, didn’t value Xi Siyan, how could she hope for the Li Family to value him?

Zhang Yi opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn’t say anything, standing up and walking out.
