None of this mattered to her anymore. Their family's current standing wasn't achieved through any sort of profitable transactions.
As a mother, she only wanted her son to be happy.
Si Chen pressed his lips together, remaining silent.
"Did you let her down?" Mrs. Si could guess a bit from Fu Qin's words, "Let me tell you, Si Chen. I don't care who you marry, but you must stay faithful and devoted. If you dare to mess around, be fickle, or bring a bunch of illegitimate children home, you'd better watch out because I'll kill you."
"..." Si Chen's face turned dark.
Feeling irritable, he reached out and took out a cigarette, wanting to light it up despite his mother's presence.
Mrs. Si snatched it away abruptly, "Do you have a death wish, smoking in front of me?"
"Is there no such thing as personal freedom?" Si Chen angrily threw the lighter.
No one could understand his current feelings.
