Si Long saw them in the living room. Gao Ping pulled Si Ling, who was about to go out. “Stay at home today! Don’t go out and cause trouble for me!”

Si Ling rolled her eyes. “What did I do now?!”

“You know your own business!” Si Ling had been causing too much trouble in school recently. “Your father hasn’t been well recently. Can you let me worry less?” Gao Ping said to her in a suppressed voice.

“You didn’t listen to me! Why didn’t you do anything with Fu Xing?” Gao Ping looked at her and asked.

Si Ling was very speechless. “What can I do if he ignores me?!”

“You have to think of a way and find an opportunity! Did you remember what I taught you? You useless brat!” Gao Ping almost pointed at her nose and scolded!

“I got it!” Although she was extremely unwilling, she still obediently put down her bag and prepared to go downstairs!

Gao Ping saw Si Mi sitting on the sofa and quickly walked over. “Mi Mi! You haven’t been back for a long time! I know you’re busy with work, but you can’t forget to come back and visit your father!” As she said that, she was about to hold Si Mi’s hand intimately.

Si Mi turned sideways and avoided her. “I was busy for a few days and only came back yesterday!”

Si Long’s expression improved a little after hearing Si Mi’s words.

Gao Ping looked at her with heartache. “Don’t work too hard! With your current status, why do you work so hard? President Fu can give whatever you want to you!”

Fortunately, Si Mi’s acting was good. She suppressed the urge to leave. Gao Ping’s words made her feel disgusted. On the surface, she was praising Si Mi, but in reality, she was treating Si Mi like a canary in Fu Zhen’s cage for him to enjoy!

“Fu Zhen also supports me! I think it’s very meaningful...”

“Hmph! I don’t know what’s going on in your mind. What’s so good about being an actress? Why don’t you stay at home and cultivate the relationship with your husband first?!” Si Long put on his act of being considerate for Si Mi. In her previous life, he had told Si Mi the same thing!

Si Meng looked at him. “This is a career that I love! I want to do it!”

“Sis! Dad is saying it for your own good! Why are you...” Si Ling continued to speak, as if she disapproved of Si Meng’s attitude, but she pretended not to dare to contradict her!

“I’m talking to my dad, so why are you interrupting? What does it have to do with you?” Si Meng retorted Si Ling!

Si Long looked at her and didn’t say anything, because Si Mi had always been like this at home. She would always retort at Si Ling if she didn’t like her conduct!

“I’m sorry! Sister!”

Si Yan was really afraid that Si Mi would directly shed all pretenses with them. “Enough! She can make her own decisions!”

Si Long only wanted to lecture her, but he didn’t expect Si Mi to have such a big reaction. He cleared his throat. “Then you guys can sit for a while and leave after dinner.”

Si Ling’s aggrieved look was seen by Si Long. He sighed and thought that Si Mi was a little too aggressive! Si Ling wanted a bag a few days ago, so he would buy it for her!

Gao Ping kindly arranged for dinner. Si Mi really didn’t want to stay here any longer, but Si Yan’s goal hadn’t been achieved yet. She also wanted to go back to her mother’s room to take a look!

Si Yan followed Si Long to the study. Not long after, he walked out in a very bad mood and found Si Mi in the room. She was looking at photos of their family in the past.

The room was often cleaned by the housekeepers at home. It had been a long time since anyone had lived there, but it was clean and tidy! Sometimes, the details of Gao Ping’s work were really admirable!

“He gave 10% of the company’s shares to Gao Ping!”

Si Yan looked very angry because he felt that Si Long was really too biased!

“There’s nothing to be angry about! Didn’t you already expect it?” Si Mi wiped the photo paper and said to Si Yan.

“Did you know that the company’s capital chain was short not long ago?”

Si Yan calmed down. “I know.”

“Fu Zhen took action, and only then did things return to normal! He took over a very big project of the company. Our father doesn’t dare to go too far! I won’t agree to it!” Si Mi said.

Si Yan looked at her. “Fu Zhen told you all this?”

Of course, Fu Zhen didn’t tell her. This was what happened after that. Fu Zhen didn’t just do things for her on the surface. He did things for her in more ways than one! In her previous life, the Si family’s company was supported by Fu Zhen!

Si Mi didn’t say anything. Si Yan looked down. “Okay, I got it! As long as you know what you’re doing it’s fine! I don’t mind, but I can’t give it all to them!”

The woman’s smile in the photo was so beautiful. Si Mi looked at her mother’s face. Her tone was cold as she said, “It belongs to us, so how can I not care?!”
