Chapter 2460: Chapter 2469: The Unexpectedly Complex Past of Si Chen

Su Yijiu picked up the coffee cup and rubbed the cup’s surface. A trace of daze flashed across her elegant face, and she paused for half a second before slowly saying, "I and Chenchen’s father didn’t come together because of love; it was due to a business alliance. I had just returned from studying overseas, and both families had a major project that required collaboration. The funds involved in that project were enormous, nearly amounting to both companies’ entire bottom line. Winning would elevate both companies a step up. Losing would mean total defeat for both!

With such a massive project, neither family trusted the other, so the story predictably turned into a marriage alliance. Through the marriage, turning the other into a family by marriage, both families were tightly bound together. The Su family only had me as a daughter, while the Si family, Si Chen’s father was chosen to become my husband.

Before we got married, I had never met that man. Later, we got married and courteously lived together for a period of time. However, as that honeymoon passed, and I became pregnant with Chenchen, I slowly found out that he had had a girlfriend before marrying me.

That girlfriend was someone he had met when he was studying, and they had always been close. Even after marrying me, he hadn’t severed ties with that woman. Instead, he secretly reunited with her every month behind my back. When I was pregnant with Si Chen, that woman was also pregnant.

At that time, I felt an unbearable pain, but the cooperation of the two companies was at a critical point; I couldn’t possibly propose divorce at that moment."

Su Yijiu’s voice was distant, as if coming from a faraway place. She seemed calm and composed as she discussed past events, making it seem as though the pregnant betrayed woman she described was not her.

"I endured it, and later Chenchen was born. The cooperation between both companies concluded successfully, achieving mutual wins! When I discovered he was still in contact with his ex-girlfriend behind my back, I was indeed furious, couldn’t accept it, and even thought daily of divorcing him, making him and that woman pay. But after giving birth to Si Chen, I changed my mind.

Upon learning that the woman had also borne a son, I hired a private detective to capture photos of them as a trio. Then, clutching Chenchen and holding this set of photos, I went to see the then person in charge of the Si family, Si Chen’s grandfather, and placed the photos in his office, proposing divorce.

At that time, though our companies’ collaboration had successfully concluded, there were still some strategic dependencies in other projects between both families. And that woman’s background was entirely ordinary, incapable of providing any assistance to the Si family and Si Chen’s father. Just as I thought, the Old Master desperately tried to retain me. Right before my eyes, angrily called Si Chen’s father over the phone, slapped his face, and demanded he break up with that woman."

At this point in her narrative, she sneered, "Tsk tsk, what’s the use of breaking up? What I wanted wasn’t for them to break up. I stirred all this up instead of directly divorcing Si Mo purely for my son’s sake. A noble socialite like me from the Su family couldn’t care less about a man whose heart belonged to another woman! So I made my demand during their most intense father-son argument.

I only proposed one demand at that time—do you know what it was?"

Lin Anxin never thought Si Chen’s background was so complex. She moved her lips, "To have Si Chen inherit the Si family?"
