In other words, Si Jinghuai was the last to arrive.

But there was no expression on Si Jinghuai's face. He just gave a faint hum and took Yan Xia into the gate of the old house.

The mourning hall of Mr. Si is located in the Si family ancestral hall.

When the old man was depressed, the road from the gate of Si's house to the ancestral hall was filled with wreaths and white cloths.

The Si family is one of the most prominent celebrities in the capital. It was not convenient for them to come over on the first day after receiving the news, but every family had sent wreaths and other condolences.

Along the way, Yan Xia followed Si Jinghuai, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible.

On a day like today, she didn't want anything unpleasant to happen.

When the two arrived at the mourning hall, everyone in the Si family had already arrived. As expected, only Si Jinghuai and Yan Xia were the last to arrive.

Yan Xia was not familiar with the Si family, but when she glanced over, she still saw a few familiar faces.

Si Jingwei, whom I met once, and Si Jinghuai's mother, Mrs. Si.

Yan Xia didn't know the others, so he only glanced at them and lowered his head.

"Si Jinghuai, how dare you come!?"

The speaker was an old man wearing a black Tang suit, whom Yan Xia didn't recognize.

But hearing him call Si Jinghuai by his first name, Yan Xia knew that he was probably Si Jinghuai's elder.

Hearing this, Si Jinghuai looked up at him and raised his eyebrows: "This is the Si family. If I don't come, will some people occupy the magpie's nest?"

Si Jinghuai's tone was casual.

But what he said made Si Bai's face turn red: "What do you mean? Do you talk to elders like this?"

Si Bai is Mr. Si's younger brother, and he has gone out on his own these years.

However, he still has shares in Si Sheng, and this time Si Jingyuan, the successor chosen by Mr. Si, is his grandson.

Originally, this kind of thing was beyond Si Jingyuan's turn, but Mr. Si didn't have many direct grandchildren, and even fewer had the right age and experience.

Si Jingze and Si Yan were taken care of by Si Jinghuai again, so good things happened to Si Jingyuan. Now that Si Jinghuai is back, Si Bai feels a sense of crisis.

Si Jinghuai looked at him sideways and said in a nonchalant manner: "Why, do you know that I spoke like this now?"

"Grandpa." Si Jingyuan stepped forward and called Si Bai before turning to look at Si Jinghuai.

Si Jingyuan is young and has a delicate appearance.

He called Si Jinghuai honestly: "Third brother."

Si Jinghuai glanced at him but didn't respond.

Si Jingyuan was not annoyed and continued to speak softly: "Third brother, I know you came back to see grandpa out of filial piety."

"But Grandpa has already said that you will be expelled from the Si family..."

He pretended to be embarrassed and sighed: "So I don't think it's appropriate for you to be here. Grandpa Izumi will be unhappy if you know it."

Yan Xia, who was standing beside Si Jinghuai, turned to look at him when he heard this.

This man spoke impeccably, but every word he said was driving Si Jinghuai away.

Sure enough, a dog that bites doesn't bark.

She raised her head and glanced at Si Jinghuai. Seeing that Si Jinghuai's expression had not changed much, she felt a little relieved.

She was about to tell Si Jinghuai to go burn incense.

But Mrs. Si, who was kneeling in front of the mourning hall, had already seen Si Jinghuai and happened to hear the second half of what Si Jingyuan said when she came over.

His face immediately darkened: "Who do you think you are? Do you think that being the CEO of Si Sheng will give you a say in the Si family?"

"A side branch dares to ask Jing Huai to leave!?" Mrs. Si shouted coldly, leaving no face for Si Jingyuan.

"Second Aunt." Si Jingyuan looked at Mrs. Si, with an apology on his face: "I just, just..." (End of Chapter)
