The three words "illegitimate daughter" can be regarded as a taboo of the Si family.

Over the years, Si Shang and Si Fengmian have only heard a few words when their mother Zhang Zi and Si Shangshan quarreled. Usually, Zhang Zi, Si Shangshan and the entire Si family have not mentioned the "illegitimate daughter".

It is said that it was their grandfather, Si Mingsheng's words.

Si Shang and Si Fengmian both vaguely knew that they had a half-sister, surnamed Si, who was born to other women while Si Shangshan was lying around.

Si Shangshan has been focusing on his career over the years, not caring about family affairs, and has a good relationship with Zhang Zi. The reason is that the woman outside and the illegitimate daughter are.

When they first heard about it, Si Shang and Si Fengmian thought about whether Si Shangshan would divorce Zhang Zi and take the mother and daughter home, but there was no sign of this. Over time, they gradually put these worries behind them.

Never thought-

A bolt from the blue, suddenly came.

At the end of the corridor, Si Fengmian stood in an open window. The bare branches outside the teaching building swayed in the cold wind. Occasionally, dead leaves were swept up by the wind and swirled in the air, disappearing into the gray sky.

The white headphone cable tilted down from the earlobe, penetrated into the collar of the school uniform jacket, and winded to the left trouser pocket.

"Xiaomian, are you going back?"

In the headphones, Si Shang was whispering warmly, weak and helpless.

The slender and slender fingers curled up, then let go, Si Fengmian put his hand in his pocket and said, "Go back."

"Then I'll go back too." Si Shang said gently, "I'm afraid of mom..."

Si Fengmian's eyebrows tightened and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Well, it should be." Si Shang whispered, "Mom just told me that two years ago, my father had taken back his personal opinion...the man's idea, but he didn't implement it, so my mother quarreled with him in private. About half a year ago, my father suddenly asked the servant to clean up a new bedroom on the second floor and carefully decorated it. He was so busy, but he supervised the whole process, putting clothes, jewelry, bags and shoes in one set after another."

Si Fengmian's brows frowned closer and closer.

He and Si Shang rarely stay at home, and they didn't know about these things, and Zhang Zi had never disclosed them.

Si Shang said again: "Later, my mother found out that the woman passed away was half a year ago. Since the room was renovated, when we were not at home, my parents didn't know how many times they quarreled about that person, but you know, they said dad... how could they give in to my mother?"

At the end of the conversation, Si Shang's voice gradually lowered.

Si Fengmian pursed her lower lip gently.

It is rumored that Si Shangshan and Zhang Zi are married to each other in the family, and Si Shangshan will never forget the woman.

It is rumored that Si Shangshan left the Si family and started from scratch for many years to bring the mother and daughter back openly.

In the past, the mother and daughter lived only in "rumor". Although Si Shang and Si Fengmian noticed their father's indifference and the disharmony of family relationships, they did not take the "rumor" seriously.

Nowadays, illusory rumors have become a decisive reality, bit by bit peeling away the hidden illusions of harmony.

No one spoke on the phone, and only the sound of breathing was heard.

"Xiaomian?" Si Shang spoke.

Si Fengmian came back to his senses, "I'm here."

Si Shang said: "Mom just had a fight with dad. I didn't have class in the afternoon, so I'll go back now. You can have a good class in the afternoon, and the driver will pick you up after school."

"Um."

Si Fengmian should be absent-minded.

I don’t know if I’m nervous, but when I heard Si Shang say “That woman passed away, half a year ago”, the first thing he thought of was Xiao Ni’s mother…

In the afternoon, it was getting darker.

Third floor, in the bedroom.

Zhang Zi sat on the sofa, wearing light makeup but not hiding her expression, haggard and tired, with her eyes hanging down, her eyes were red, and her hands were rubbed on her knees, despair and collapse enveloped her, and she broke her psychological defense little by little.

The ground was covered with cosmetics, furniture ornaments, and was in a mess, witnessing her crazy behavior just now.

Si Shangshan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, with the window open and facing the courtyard, leaving Zhang Zi's back steady and decisive, and a little unkind.

Zhang Zi stared at his back in a daze, with wide and strong shoulders, but he was cold and alienated.

Just now, he looked at her crazy expressionlessly, without stopping or saying anything, as if he was watching a monkey acting, numb and indifferent.

After venting, Zhang Zi calmed down a lot. She lowered her head and buried her face in her hands, rubbed her, then raised her head, exhaled, and her voice was hoarse and powerless, "Do you force her back, do you know what others will think?"

Si Shangshan finally turned around, his expression still cold, "I don't care what others think, this is what I owe her."

"What about me? What about Shangshang and Xiaomian? What do you think of us when you let those people think of us?!" Zhang Zi's tears burst out from his eyes, "Even if... Shangshang and Xiaomian did something wrong back then, aren't they enough to help you?!"

She cried pitifully, but when she fell into Si Shangshan's eyes, there was no fluctuation.

He said coldly: "You know how they came from."

Zhang Zi was stunned, bit the corner of his lips, tightly grasped his hands, and his freshly prepared nails fell into his palms.

This is her pain.

She admired Si Shangshan since she was a child. After Si Shangshan divorced Yi Shici, she married Si Shangshan desperately, willingly. However, although Si Shangshan married her under the oppression of Si Mingsheng, she had never touched her.

She had no other way, so she had to use some means to get pregnant.

Whether it is Si Shang or Si Fengmian, Si Shangshan was not willing to be born. Every time Si Shangshan was unconscious, he called the name "Yi Shi Ci".

Recalling this, Zhang Zi's heart was like a knife cutting, and it seemed like she had cut off all the flesh. It was difficult to breathe even harder, and she tore the flesh and blood with her breathing.

The next moment, Zhang Zi suddenly stood up, her slender body trembling, tears falling like broken beads, and her voice was excited, "No matter how they came, they are all your biological children! Like Si Sheng, they are all your biological flesh and blood!"

"I haven't treated them badly in the past few years." Si Shangshan looked at her coldly, still calm and unmoved. He made it open and honest. "Si Sheng is the legitimate eldest daughter of the Si family. There is no doubt about this. I am her father, and I don't need anyone's approval to take her back. You either do superficial skills to Sheng'er and be a stepmother in a dedicated manner, so that it's good for Shangshang and Xiaomian. If you look for trouble with Sheng'er openly and secretly, then we can only divorce, and Shangshang and Xiaomian can follow you."

Si Shangshan's cold and ruthless words made Zhang Zi's face fade away, and it looked as pale as paper in a blink of an eye.

There was no room for recovery in the matter, and Si Shangshan had no intention of discussing with her.

He said directly, "If you are good to Si Sheng, then I will treat Si Shang and Si Fengmian well. If you are bad to Si Sheng, then we will divorce. Si Shang and Si Fengmian will belong to you."

There is no doubt that choosing the former can save some face; choosing the latter will be like a joke in the entire upper class.

If the daughter of an ex-boyfriend drives away from her current and her two children, how can she bear the face?

What's more, the fact that Yi Shici married Si Shangshan was not made public. In the eyes of outsiders, Si Sheng was just an "illegitimate daughter"...

However, with Si Shangshan's current ability, Zhang Zi was completely unable to become tough in front of him.

In the early years, Si Shangshan was dependent on the Si family and had to listen to Si Mingsheng's words. Now, Si Shangshan's career is becoming more and more successful, and the business of the Zhang family and the Si family is in decline. Neither of the two families are confident enough in front of Si Shangshan, let alone pointing to Si Shangshan's family.

This man... over the past twenty years, he has accumulated his foundation bit by bit, with a pure and simple purpose, just to give his daughter he owes a place to live.

When he put it into action, no one could stop him.

"Those choices, think about it carefully."

After throwing the last sentence, Si Shangshan glanced at her coldly, then took it back in an instant, and walked out of the bedroom.

The door was thrown up with a "bang".

Zhang Zi's figure shook. After a while, she cried and hugged her shoulders and slowly squatted down, her body trembling uncontrollably.

*

I was restless all afternoon and didn't even attend the disguised welcome ceremony for Xiao Ni after school. As soon as the bell of Si Fengmian rang, he hurriedly left with his bag on his back.

Along the way, I flipped out my phone countless times, but I never used it once.

"Young Master, it's here."

The driver's voice pulled back the unstable Si Fengmian's consciousness.

"oh."

Si Fengmian untied his seat belt and looked out the window. Seeing the rockery and lake water in the courtyard and the carefully designed garden, he pushed open the car door and walked down in the wind that was coming towards him.

As soon as he entered the door, Mrs. Xiao came up and called him: "Young Master."

After handing her backpack, Si Fengmian swept the empty living room and asked, "Are you back?"

"I'm back, I'm upstairs with my wife."

Mrs. Xiao looked at the study on the first floor, opened her mouth, and wanted to speak but stopped.

Realizing that something was wrong in the study, Si Fengmian immediately looked towards the study and happened to see the door being opened and the person inside walked out.

That was a woman of twenty-four or twenty-five.

Wearing a white sweater and jeans, she is tall and slender, with loose hair, and holding two books in her arms. Her unique beauty with a lot of visual impact is mixed with a bit of intellectual elegance.

In the living room, the cold white light hit her body, and a light halo was covered with it, which was as beautiful as a real person.

She paused, and her eyes came straight to her. Unexpectedly, she had a faint smile on the corner of her lips, and her voice was lazy with a tumbling and twitching, "Is it over school?"

“…”

Si Fengmian is dumb.
