Mr. Liu had also met Ji Lingchen, and the two of them had discussed Liu Siyu. The entire Liu family had doted on Liu Siyu as if she was their own daughter and had never let her suffer the slightest bit. In the beginning, they had only treated her as a substitute. But later, they all accepted the fact that their daughter had passed away. They had long treated Liu Siyu as their own daughter.
“Siyan, I can’t bear to part with Siyu either.”
“But she’s not Liu Siyu. She’s Ji Xiaoyu!” Liu Siyan sighed.
There was a sudden knock on the door.
!!
Liu Siyan and Mr. Liu immediately became nervous. “Who is it?”
Mrs. Liu pushed the door open and entered the study. Her eyes were slightly red as she looked at her husband and son. She had heard their entire conversation.
“Which Ji family is it?” Mrs. Liu asked, sobbing.
She had fallen asleep, but she suddenly had a nightmare. After waking up, she went to her daughter’s room. On her way back, she passed by her husband’s study and heard voices inside. She felt that her daughter had been feeling off lately. She was always in a daze and depressed. She wanted to talk to her son and husband, and then she heard what they said just now.
Liu Siyan looked at his mother and said worriedly, “It’s Ji Lingchen.”
Mrs. Liu’s eyes were bloodshot. She was determined to stop her husband and son from telling her daughter the truth. “No one can take my daughter away!” She wanted to hide her daughter so that no one could take her away.
Liu Siyan advised, “Xiaoyu has been looking at old photos a lot recently. She even asked me a lot about her childhood. She’s been in a daze recently. It’s obvious that something’s on her mind. She must have found out something.”
Mrs. Liu was insistent and told her son, “You’re not allowed to tell her!”
Liu Siyan said, “Mom! Wake up, Xiaoyu can’t replace Siyu and live as her for the rest of her life!”
Mrs. Liu could not calm herself down. She only knew that her daughter was about to be taken away by someone else.
The family of three, who had always been harmonious, almost quarreled in the study room. In the end, Mr. Liu asked his son to leave the study room, leaving only him and his wife.
The next day, Ji Lingchen sent his wife to school and happened to run into Mrs. Liu, who was dropping her daughter off.
“Mrs. Liu,” Fang Xiaonuan greeted her warmly when she saw her.
When Ji Lingchen saw Mrs. Liu, whom he had always wanted to meet, he said to his little wife, “Xiaonuan, you can go to class.”
Fang Xiaonuan was a little worried. She saw that Mrs. Liu’s eyes were a little puffy, and Liu Siyu, who was in the classroom, was also looking in their direction.
“Xiaonuan, you don’t need to leave.” Mrs. Liu wanted Fang Xiaonuan to stay.
“Madam, this concerns adults. Let’s not involve the child.”
He looked at his wife and motioned for her to go in.
Fang Xiaonuan said, “Hubby, I’m…”
“Go in and focus on your lessons. This isn’t something a child should be involved in.”
“I’m not a child.” Fang Xiaonuan walked to her husband’s side and held his arm, not wanting to leave.
He treated her like an adult in bed at night and treated her like a child during the day. She felt that her husband had a double standard!
“Go in and accompany Xiaoyu.” Ji Lingchen tried to trick his wife.
Fang Xiaonuan turned around and handed this difficult task to her nephew. “Xiaowen, go in and accompany Xiaoyu.”
Ji Wen scratched his head. It was better to go in first.
In the classroom, Ji Wen sat down next to Liu Siyu and asked, “Siyu, what’s up with you these days?”
Liu Siyu replied listlessly, “Nothing much.”
“Is there a problem with your mother’s company?” Ji Wen asked.
Mrs. Liu’s expression just now was very sour. Something big must have happened to the Liu family. Ji Wen felt that it should be something related to the company. Otherwise, she would not have asked his uncle for help. Moreover, many people in the business world knew that CEO Ji respected his young wife’s words very much. Therefore, Mrs. Liu probably kept Fang Xiaonuan behind so that she could get Ji Lingchen to help out on account of the friendship between Liu Siyu and Fang Xiaonuan.
Liu Siyu had been in low spirits recently. Perhaps she was too worried about her mother, but she was too embarrassed to tell her friends.
Ji Wen felt that everything made sense. He had deduced everything based on some clues. He was simply a deductive genius!
“Siyu, don’t worry. Your family’s company will be fine. I believe in your mom. Besides, Fang Xiaonuan will surely help your mom,” Ji Wen said.
Liu Siyu looked at Ji Wen, who was confident and determined. She was speechless. What was he thinking?
Outside, Ji Lingchen could not persuade Fang Xiaonuan to go, so he could only help her skip class. He brought her to a cafe so they could have a chat with Mrs. Liu.
It was morning, so many people were at the cafe to buy coffee. Apart from students, there were also nearby office workers.
