Chapter 721: Stealing Money
Si Boyi and Gu Hongwei cooked dinner together. Zhang Lijuan took her children to sleep after dinner, and Tong Yao and Guo Jinnian also went to bed early. It was a rare occasion for the men to sit down and drink together, so they didn’t disturb them.
Seeing them all leaving, Si Xiaohui wasn’t willing to leave herself; she sat at the table and even returned to the kitchen to bring a cup over, "Big brother, second brother, it’s not easy for us siblings to sit together for a meal. I can see that you really don’t plan to take care of me anymore. I’m an adult in my twenties now and don’t want to trouble you. If you don’t care about me, let it be. I won’t hold it against you. We’re all going to go our separate ways. I’d like to propose a toast to you, won’t you give me some face?"
Si Chen remained expressionless and silent. Upon hearing her words, Si Boyi picked up his glass with displeasure and said sternly, "Then consider this the last supper."
Even though Si Boyi had been in business for so many years, he was still quite straightforward and naive. Regardless of Si Xiaohui’s pitiful words, he was not going to be fooled again.
Hearing this, Si Xiaohui turned to Si Chen, "Big brother, give me some face, too. Tomorrow is mom’s seventh day after death, and I’m leaving the day after tomorrow. I won’t come back again."
Si Chen remained silent, but picked up his glass.
Seeing this, Si Xiaohui immediately smiled and then turned to Gu Hongwei. Before she could speak, Gu Hongwei willingly picked up his glass.
Si Xiaohui laughed, "Brother Hongwei, if I hadn’t taken the wrong path back then and ended up working at the bubble tea shop in Kyoto with you, would we have become a couple over time?"
Gu Hongwei frowned, "Don’t bring that up again. I only see you as my sister. I’m about to marry Jinnian."
Si Xiaohui replied, "I know you two are getting married soon. I might not attend. I wish you a happy marriage in advance."
