Xiao Tong's heart couldn't help but pound. She found that she was tempted.
At this moment, she wasn't thinking about whether or not she cared about Si Han. Her only thought was that she would be able to obtain complete freedom.
The madame had been waiting for her agreement, but the words that she had been coerced by Si Han were already on the tip of her tongue, leaving her speechless.
Xiao Tong's rapidly beating heart slowly settled down and she was scared to the point that she was covered in cold sweat.
As expected, the older the better. It was only after her mind had cleared did she realize that the madame's words might be true. However, once she made her decision, there would be no room for regret.
Xiao Tong's throat was dry, but she said word by word, "Madame, I want to continue with Si Han until we can't hold on any longer."
As she said these words, she suddenly felt her whole body relax.
If a person was afraid of betrayal and stopped moving, in order to avoid harm, what was the point of living?
She wasn't that kind of person, and she wouldn't have become that kind of person.
As long as Sihan still loved her, and she still loved Sihan, then she would go on with him.
The madame stared at her for a long time. If she had made such a choice for the sake of wealth, her eyes should not be so clear.
"Little Tong, you didn't let me see how much you care about Little Han. Can't you see that Little Han is angry when the photo incident broke out? But why aren't you feeling any guilt at all? " The madame could not understand so she asked directly.
Xiao Tong laughed, "Because I really didn't do anything to let him down. Xiyan and I ate in a high-end restaurant because we wanted to find a place for Sihan Qingsheng to use a week later. What a pity …"
She shrugged, and the result was self-evident. There might be surprises when the truth came out, but he certainly wouldn't be happy this week.
No wonder! The old mistress laughed as well with a complicated expression on her face!
She thought that Xiao Tong didn't care about Xiao Han, but she didn't expect that the truth behind the photo incident was because of Xiao Han.
The madame asked sharply, "But you hesitated just now. I can even feel that you want to leave Xiao Han."
Xiao Tong's expression froze. At this point, she was afraid of the madame.
She knew that if she denied it, the madame would not believe her. She simply admitted it, "You are right. If you had asked me those questions when we first met, I would not have hesitated to borrow your power to leave Sihan."
Xiao Tong smiled faintly and continued, "The reason for your hesitation is probably because you are unwilling to admit defeat at the hands of Si Han!"
She was always on the defensive. At the beginning, Sihan had signed a master slave agreement with her, but later on, after falling in love with her, she was unable to break free. There was always a trace of unwillingness in her heart.
But now, she had made a decision, and that trace of unwillingness had vanished with it.
After that, she would go all out. She wanted to know how far she and Sihan could go.
The madame laughed and in the blink of an eye, she became that kind old man again. She even affectionately held Xiao Tong's hand.
This sudden change of events had Xiao Tong unable to make any turns.
"Good child, as long as you are nice and friendly, grandma doesn't have to worry about anything. If you want to give Xiao Han a surprise birthday, then grandma will join in the fun and also give him a surprise." The madame even winked at her mischievously.
The corner of Xiao Tong's mouth twitched. If this mischievous wink was made by a young girl, it would naturally be pleasing to the eyes and could make an old woman with dim eyes …
"What surprise will the old mistress give Si Han?" Xiao Tong asked.
The old mistress laughed like an old child once again. "Secrets!"
The two of them walked out of the study room with a straight face, as if their conversation was unpleasant.
Si Han frowned deeply. He heard his wife say, "Two days later, I will hold a press conference."
His heart tightened. "Grandma, what do you want to announce?"
The old mistress remained expressionless. "You'll know when the time comes." She glanced at Xiao Tong, but there wasn't much love in her eyes. This made Si Han even more uneasy.
On the other hand, Si Qiong and Xia Qiuling were secretly happy. The madame's expression clearly showed that she was unhappy.
To be able to hold a press conference in this situation was definitely related to Xiao Tong. They might even deny that Xiao Tong wasn't Si Han's fiancee. How could this not make them happy?
Xiao Tong wasn't a young miss of the Wealthy Class, but she did make things difficult for them. She was even more difficult to deal with than those young mistresses.
Rather than keeping this variable, he might as well find a fiancee he could control. With that, he could be considered to have Si Han under his control.
When they thought of this possibility, both Si Nong Quan and Xia Qiu Ling felt extremely comfortable. However, the next moment, Si Chen Ao gave them another block.
"Grandma, is the reason you called the press conference related to sister-in-law? Was it to clarify things for his sister-in-law? If it is, then I am also willing to prove sister-in-law's innocence. " Si Chen Ao said.
"It's enough for me and the old man to show up. You will know what's going on in two days." The old mistress looked exhausted. "All of you can go back today. I won't be keeping you any longer."
"Grandma, Little Tong and I will stay behind." Sihan wanted to know why his grandmother had called the press conference.
However, the madame, who had always pampered Si Han, did not give him any face this time. "Your grandfather and I only want to be quiet. Take Xiao Tong and the glutinous rice and leave!"
Si Han's body stiffened. His grandmother's words were like a thorn piercing into his heart, leaving him at a loss for words.
All these years, if it wasn't for his grandparents looking after him, he might have already lost his life. He never thought about what he would do if they didn't love him anymore.
Now, he finally knew that the pain he felt when he lost his mother was practically the same as when he lost her.
Si Han's face was somewhat pale, but no matter what he wanted to say, the butler still led him out of the house.
Xiao Tong looked at him. This was the first time she had seen such a frail Si Han who seemed to have lost his family.
She was really glad that the old man and the madame both liked her. Otherwise, if she let Si Han choose between the two, she might not be as important as the two old men in his heart.
On the way back, Xiao Tong drove. Since Si Han's condition wasn't suitable for driving, Si Han sat in the front passenger seat and asked, "What did you and grandma say to each other? Tell me about your conversation!"
Xiao Tong wanted to give him a surprise, so he naturally couldn't speak the truth. He only said, "I told the madame what I said to you. I just don't know if she believed me or not."
"Send me back to my house, you and glutinous rice will go back." Si Han said.
Gluttony also seemed to have felt the severity of the problem. "Dad, I'll go back with you to my old home. I'll make Grandpa Zeng and Grandma Zeng happy."
"No, you and Mommy go home." Si Han said.
When Xiao Tong saw his appearance as though he was facing a great enemy, she somehow felt that she wasn't kind to the madame. However, she had already done it and could only shock Si Han before making him happy.
Si Han returned to his old residence. He did not ask the butler to notify the two elders, but rather secretly returned to his room. He wanted to wait until tomorrow, when their anger had subsided, they would discuss this matter.
However, Si Han didn't know that as soon as he entered the room, the two elders immediately knew.
The old man already knew what had happened and also heard that Si Han had come back. He sighed, "This time, Xiao Han was serious. For Xiao Tong, he actually came back humbly to beg for our help. If you want to announce the wedding day, consider this as a peace of mind for Xiao Han."
