Chapter 29: Meeting the Fiancée with a Token of Respect

Accompanied by several followers carrying valuable gifts, Si Yechen entered the Li residence, leaving his attendants outside.

Only Qing Mu remained by his side, standing respectfully next to Si Yechen.

"Uncle, Auntie, it's been a long time."

Si Yechen, always composed and reserved, even when exchanging pleasantries, exuded a sense of solemnity and seriousness.

"Ah Chen, what brings you here today?" Song Qiaoying, the first to react, looked at the gifts he brought with a loving smile, "You've come, and with so many gifts, you're being too courteous."

"Ah Chen, come and sit down. Someone, bring another pot of tea," Li Yuanfu warmly invited, "It's been a while since you last visited Uncle's house, ever since your brother went abroad. Tonight, let's catch up properly!"

"Ah Chen, have you eaten?" Si Yechen remained reserved and polite as usual.

"You child, it's been a while since we last saw you, and you've become even more mature and steady..." Song Qiaoying looked at him, feeling that he was exceptionally compatible in every aspect—height, appearance, and personal abilities—all first-rate, impeccable.

On the second floor.

Li Yusha originally planned to wait for Ou Yan to return to her room before going downstairs to chat with her parents. Firstly, it could improve their relationship, and secondly, she could indirectly inquire about their knowledge of Grandpa's condition.

As she opened the door, she overheard two servants discussing Si Yechen's appearance.

After inquiring carefully, she learned that Si Yechen had indeed arrived at their home!

Her legs turned weak, and she almost couldn't stand!

"Miss Yusha?" Zhang Mama, seeing her distress, hurried forward to support her, "Are you alright?"

"Zhang Mama!" Li Yusha hastily grabbed Zhang Mama's hand, her voice trembling with nervousness, "Yechen is here, in the living room... he must be here because of today's incident! If my parents find out, I almost caused his grandfather's death... What should I do? What should I do?"

"Don't panic, let's hear what he has to say first."

"No... hearing it from his mouth is different from confessing it myself." After quickly weighing the pros and cons in her mind, Li Yusha immediately said, "I'll go downstairs to apologize! Repent!"

"Miss Yusha, don't act rashly." Zhang Mama hurriedly grabbed her hand, "Don't lose your composure, calm down, and observe the situation downstairs first, listen to me!"

In the living room, Si Yechen spoke in a dignified manner, "Uncle, Auntie, I came today mainly because of Miss Li."

Li Yuanfu and Song Qiaoying exchanged glances. Miss Li... could it be referring to Yan Yan??

Si Yechen, well-informed as always, must have received wind of the situation and known that there was someone else in the Li family's daughter?

And Yusha was just an adopted daughter?!

Seeing that he seemed to have something to say, Song Qiaoying spoke first, "Ah Chen, this matter has happened quite suddenly, we haven't had the chance to tell you yet. Actually, we need to start from what happened back then..."

Si Yechen thought she was going to mention the engagement from back then, so he nodded, patiently waiting for her to continue.

Song Qiaoying recounted the incident at the clinic, then said, "We only found Yan Yan these past few days and haven't announced her identity publicly. Yan Yan's grandparents don't know about this, we didn't intentionally hide it from you or the Si family."

Si Yechen: ?

Qing Mu: ??

Knowing they couldn't hide it any longer, Song Qiaoying said, "Lan, go and fetch Sixth Miss down."

Qing Mu looked at Mrs. Li, then at Master Chen. What's going on? Is Miss Yusha not the intended fiancée? Is it Miss Yan Yan??

Then the engagement... needs to be broken off even more.

Master Chen didn't even want Miss Yusha, who he knew and who excelled in various arts. How much less a girl from a small town he doesn't know?

Miss Yusha at least brought various talents to the table and had a decent appearance, being a first-class socialite and heiress in the capital.

But Miss Yan Yan...

Si Yechen's dark pupils deepened, seemingly contemplating something.

Ou Yan had just finished showering and went downstairs after hearing her mother calling her.

She was wearing a thin silk nightgown, her hair tied up, her slender white legs catching everyone's attention.

Qing Mu couldn't believe his eyes when he saw Miss Ou Yan entering. She's the true daughter they just found?!

Si Yechen arched an eyebrow slightly, his deep black eyes carrying a hint of inquiry.

Her?

She's the true heiress of the Li family?

Ou Yan just came downstairs and saw Si Yechen on the sofa—a handsome and charming face, eyes shining with a faint light, and his lips seemed to hold a hint of a smile.

How did this man come to her house?

Ou Yan's eyes showed a hint of confusion. "Mom, did you call for me?"

"Come here, Yan Yan, to Mom." Song Qiaoying took her daughter's hand and sat down, gently saying, "Let me introduce, this is Si Yechen. Many years ago, our Li family and the Si family had an engagement. So, Ah Chen is your fiancé..."

Ou Yan: ???

What??

Fiancé??

In this day and age, there are still engagements like this??

"This is our recently found biological daughter, Li Ouyan." Song Qiaoying introduced her to Si Yechen.

Si Yechen's eyes softened slightly. So, it's her. I only knew her as Ou Yan before; I didn't expect her to have the surname Li.

Qing Mu also realized: So Miss Ou Yan's surname isn't Ou, it's Li...

No wonder she dared to go against the crowd to save people at the hospital and even dared to make Qiu Susu kneel down... Turns out, she has strong backing!

Li Yusha hid on the second floor, eavesdropping. She originally thought Si Yechen had come to confront her about Old Master Li's situation!

But unexpectedly, he came for Ou Yan!

Her nails dug deeply into her palm, feeling a bit resentful. Why did Ou Yan have to appear?

Why did she have to come back to this family?

Why did she have to take away everything that belonged to her?

"So, Mr. Si, why did you come today?" Ou Yan looked at the man in front of her, not understanding his intention.

Si Yechen looked at the girl's clear and bright eyes, pursed his lips slightly, and his ink-black eyes emitted a captivating light.

"I heard my fiancée just returned to this house, so I came to bring a small gift and see her."

Qing Mu widened his eyes, looking at Si Yechen in disbelief.

Master Chen, weren't you here to break off the engagement?

How did it turn into a visit?

Could it be because the fiancée is Miss Ou Yan, so you changed your mind?

You change your mind too quickly!!

Although there were rumors that Si Yechen was cold-blooded and ruthless, cruel and brutal, over the years, Song Qiaoying had come to appreciate his character and knew that he was steady, capable, and responsible.

Leaving aside everything else, just in terms of appearance, wealth, and ability, he was the best, unparalleled.

If her daughter could marry him... her later life would surely be happy and worry-free, without needing them to worry.

Ou Yan never expected that the man in front of her would be her fiancé...
