Old Madam Si was so angry she lifted her cane to hit Si Lin.
Luoxia quickly stopped her, gently rubbing her chest to help her breathe and softly comforting her.
"Old Madam, Young Master Si is just joking with you, don’t be angry."
"Our Xiaxia is so good, obedient and clever, never makes me angry. If only you were a child of our Si Family!"
Old Madam Si’s words clearly aimed at bringing up the topic of a marital alliance.
But Si Lin preemptively said: "Why don’t I find an incense burner now, and you two can bow and become sisters?"
This caused Old Madam Si to swing her cane again in anger, chasing after Si Lin.
The others were amused by their humorous exchange and burst out laughing.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Si Lin grabbed Old Madam Si’s cane and seriously said,
"Grandma, I brought my girlfriend today. Always mentioning Miss Luo in front of my girlfriend might give her the wrong impression."
This comment shifted many people’s attention towards Jiang Moxi.
Because this was Si Lin’s first time publicly acknowledging his girlfriend in such a formal setting.
Including Old Madam Si, Si Ruo, and Luoxia, they all scrutinized Jiang Moxi with evaluative eyes.
But what made Jiang Moxi most uncomfortable was Fu Youhan’s cool and distant gaze.
At one moment, she even wanted to dig a hole in the ground and escape.
But now, as the drama unfolded, she couldn’t just run away.
Under Si Lin’s intentional guidance, Old Madam Si finally took a proper look at Jiang Moxi: "Girlfriend?"
"Yes, this is my girlfriend, Jiang Moxi! Isn’t she beautiful?"
As Si Lin spoke, he gazed at Jiang Moxi with infatuation, as if deeply attracted by her beauty.
But before Old Madam Si could respond, Si Ruo exclaimed: "She is Jiang Moxi? Night Color’s Jiang Moxi? Impossible?"
Si Ruo had suffered at Jiang Moxi’s hands and even got grounded by her grandfather for two months because of Jiang Moxi, leaving a deep impression on her.
But in Si Ruo’s memory, Jiang Moxi’s heavily made-up face was hideously unattractive.
This was in stark contrast to now, with her bare face and striking features, unadorned yet possessing a beauty that could overthrow cities, like a completely different person.
However shocked Si Ruo was, her casual mention of "Night Color" clearly set a trap for Jiang Moxi.
As expected, hearing that this cold and beautiful woman originated from a place like Night Color, the crowd’s gaze towards her immediately included a trace of disdain.
Luoxia even frowned, her expression suggesting that a woman from such a filthy place had no right to be her rival.
Even Old Madam Si directly rebuked: "A woman from such a dirty place, you brought her home?"
But Si Lin was nonchalant, "Grandma, don’t listen to Ruoruo’s nonsense. Xixi works at Night Color, true, but she is just a waitress, nothing else. Right, Xixi?"
At his last words, Si Lin looked at Jiang Moxi with deep affection, making Jiang Moxi want to vomit up her meal from the previous year.
Jiang Moxi could only pluck up her courage: "Yes, I am just working part-time as a waitress at Night Color, I am still in school."
"Even a part-time job is unacceptable. This kind of woman absolutely cannot enter our Si Family."
Old Madam Si coldly glanced at Jiang Moxi, adopting a superior attitude.
Si Lin then said: "I’m willing to marry her, but she might not necessarily want to marry me!"
Jiang Moxi glanced at Si Lin, somewhat surprised.
And unbeknownst to her, Fu Youhan and Ye Chen were also watching the two of them.
Compared to Fu Youhan, whose eyes are bursting with icy shards, Ye Chen still looked interestedly at the scene in the distance.
Today, Fu Youhan came to attend Old Master Si’s birthday banquet, personally invited by the Old Master Si himself.
Just now, Old Master Si had even asked Old Madam Si to bring the family members to accompany Fu Youhan to enjoy the garden scenery, clearly meaning the wine was not the main purpose!
Seeing that Fu Youhan remained unmoved, Ye Chen asked, "Do you really intend to become their distinguished son-in-law and ignore Xiao Moxi?"
"She’s someone else’s girlfriend now, it’s up to them to take care of her!"
Fu Youhan’s handsome face was filled with coldness, making him look daunting.
"Ever since Moxi appeared, your eyes haven’t left her for a second, I don’t believe you didn’t notice something fishy between her and Si Lin."
Ye Chen continued to tease and seeing Fu Youhan still not moving, Ye Chen said again, "After all, she still calls you uncle. Are you really not going to do anything?"
Whether it was the excuse Ye Chen gave or Old Madam Si’s increasingly loud screams that made Fu You not able to stand it,
just next second, Fu Youhan’s wheelchair glided towards where Jiang Moxi was.
"Why don’t you roll back to where you came from?"
The moment Old Madam Si’s walking stick was about to swing towards Jiang Moxi, a cold as ice, seemingly hellish voice rang out.
"Dare to touch her? I have no rule against not hitting the elderly."
He did not raise his tone or deliberately intensify his voice, yet that voice made everyone shiver, turning towards him in astonishment.
Including Old Madam Si and Jiang Moxi.
Old Madam Si frowned as she met those eyes that seemed as cold as everlasting ice.
Even in a wheelchair, this man still carried an authoritative aura only top leaders possess, like a king of this city, making everyone afraid to misbehave in front of him.
Because it was him, Old Madam Si, filled with anger, did not dare to burst out directly and could only ask, "You know this girl?"
Whether it was this man’s tactics that turned Yan City upside down a few years ago or the fact that the Si family intended to get related to this man made Old Madam Si hesitate to directly confront him.
But Fu Youhan didn’t even glance at Old Madam Si, just coldly looked at Jiang Moxi.
In the instant their eyes met, Jiang Moxi felt slightly cowardly, softly whispering, "Uncle."
She did not follow their agreement and had private interactions with Si Lin, and now getting caught, he must be angry.
But seeing her being bullied, he still came to protect her...
All of this made Jiang Moxi feel ashamed.
Fu Youhan coldly watched the girl with her eyes downcast, too guilty to meet his gaze, and for some reason, his anger halved.
As he spoke, Jiang Moxi obediently walked towards him.
This scene shocked many people.
"Third Master Fu, is she your niece?"
Old Madam Si was surprised. She remembered that the Fu family’s eldest branch had a girl similar in age to Jiang Moxi, who took her mother’s surname after the divorce.
Could it be that Jiang Moxi was that girl?
"Sorry, I really didn’t know she was your niece, if I had known I..."
Old Madam Si quickly apologized to Fu Youhan, as they really didn’t intend to upset Fu Youhan.
But Fu Youhan didn’t even let her finish her apology before he directly said, "Since you don’t welcome her, there’s no need for us to stay any longer."
