Chapter 287 Shame on Si Yejue
But Qin Lie's words made the Elderly Mr. Si less angry. After all, what mattered the most to him was still the Si family.
When the Elderly Mr. Si calmed down, he looked at Gu Nian up and down and was impressed by her oval face, thin eyebrows, and sparkling eyes. He couldn't help but take a fancy to Gu Nian, especially when she was giving a sweet and pleasant smile now.
The more the Elderly Mr. Si looked at Gu Nian, the less angry he got. But as soon as he thought of what Si Yejue had done for her, his face darkened again as he said in a deep voice, "Get rid of such old ideas. Don't expect to convince me to approve of their marriage."
Having noticed the change in the Elderly Mr. Si's attitude, Gu Nian said with a smile, "Grandpa Si, why don't you like me?"
Instead of answering her question, the Elderly Mr. Si snorted and asked, "Why do I have to like you?" He even found her question so ridiculous.
Gu Nian said, "Grandpa Si, I know you're very kind. You just have some prejudice against me. So why not tell me why you oppose the marriage between Jue and me? Is it because of my past?"
Gu Nian didn't hold any grudges against the Elderly Mr. Si. In his previous life, he also opposed the idea of Si Yejue being with her. Probably because she was too dramatic at that time, the Elderly Mr. Si rarely did anything to her and just detested her.
Later, the Elderly Mr. Si even visited her when she was committed to a psychiatric hospital. As for the real bad guy, it was Butler Cao who took many orders. But the Elderly Mr. Si didn't know that at all. Gu Nian stared at Butler Cao out of the corner of her eye, which made him go white as he felt as if Gu Nian could see through him.
The Elderly Mr. Si looked at Gu Nian with a gloomy face. "You do have a terrible past. Even an ordinary family will mind that, let alone the Si family."
Si Yejue held Gu Nian's hand tightly. "I don't mind it. I'll protect her and enable her to feel free to do whatever she wants even if she makes any trouble."
Hearing his words, the Elderly Mr. Si burst into anger again. "Jue, as a member of the Si family, how can you fall for such a girl who has caused the Si Corporation's loss of 200 million dollars?"
Si Yejue remained calm. "Whatever loss doesn't matter as long as I have her around."
"You..." The Elderly Mr. Si was instantly boiling with anger upon hearing his words.
Si Yejue said, "Besides, Grandpa, you seem to be wrong about something. I'm the one who has been pestering her although she has been trying to get rid of me."
The Elderly Mr. Si was stunned, thinking, 'As the president of the Si Corporation, you can't even get a woman to fall for you and have to try to keep her around despite being a handsome, rich, and young man? More importantly, how can you say it out without feeling embarrassed? You're just bringing shame on me! Shame on you!'
Gu Nian walked up and stood beside Si Yejue. "Grandpa Si, I've stopped doing that. As for my past..."
What happened in the past was partly the result of her indulgence and partly the result of her disguise. As for the absence from school, it was because she had to learn something else.
Gu Nian found no easy way to explain it to the Elderly Mr. Si and just looked up at him. "Grandpa Si, just tell me what I should do to get you to approve our marriage."
