Si Mo said: "It's really boring to drink alone, so I invited you to come."

Shi Ye's eyes swept towards the bar in the suite, he fetched a wine glass, sat down on the sofa, poured himself a glass of wine, and then filled Si Mo's empty glass with wine.

Si Mo slid the wheelchair over.

Shi Ye picked up the wine glass and handed it to him. After he took it, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "Thank you, Master Shi, for your honor."

Shi Ye gently shook the red wine glass and looked down at the crystal clear liquid in the glass.

"You asked me to come here alone tonight. Is your intention not to go to the bar?"

Shi Ye didn't have the patience to play dumb with Si Mo. He took a sip of wine and looked at Si Mo with sharp eyes. "Go ahead."

"Okay, I won't waste your time. Lan should be waiting for you to come back." Si Mo raised his chin slightly towards a book on the coffee table, "Open it and take a look."

Shi Ye looked at Si Mo in confusion, not understanding what Si Mo was up to.

He put down the wine glass in his hand, picked up the book on the coffee table and opened it.

There was a photo in the book. When Shi Ye saw the person in the photo, his whole body froze and his brain went blank for a short time.

The person in the photo is Yan Yi!

Si Mo sat in a wheelchair next to him, observing Shi Ye's stunned expression, a sneer flashed across his lips, "Master Shi, do you know the person in the photo?"

Shi Ye did not answer Si Mo. He picked up the photo, his knuckles turning white from the force.

He stared deeply at Yan Yi's smiling face in the photo, and thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind.

Finally... I can't escape this reality.

After a while, Shi Ye put the photo back into the book, closed the book, put it down, turned to look at Si Mo, and then answered: "I do know her. She is my biological mother."

"Ha!" Si Mo laughed, looking at Shi Ye's surprise with a bit of appreciation in his eyes, "I thought you would deny it and quibble, but I didn't expect you to confess directly."

Shi Ye smiled helplessly, "The fact that you can bring this photo to me means that you have already found out everything. It is meaningless for me to deny it."

Si Mo nodded slightly, "Indeed."

But he still didn't expect Shi Ye to admit it so quickly.

Shi Ye said: "Since you have already found out, you should also know that I have almost severed my mother-son relationship with her and have no contact with her."

"You should save these words for Lan." Si Mo interrupted Shi Ye, his eyes dimmed, "She is your mother, this is a fact."

Shi Ye's heart skipped a beat, and he slowly let out a breath, "I know she has caused you a lot of harm. Tell me, how do you want me to repay you?"

Si Mo shook his head. "You Chinese have a saying that a son should pay for his father's debts, but I don't think so. She should bear the consequences of her actions instead of you paying for her."

Shi Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, "Since you don't need me to atone for her sins, then what is the purpose of you calling me here tonight?"

"Of course it's for Lan." Si Mo asked, "She doesn't know about your relationship with her, right?"

Shi Ye was silent.

Si Mo added: "Lan has the right to know everything, but you shouldn't know it from me, but you should tell her yourself."

Shi Ye frowned his handsome brows and remained silent.

Si Mo looked at Shi Ye sincerely, "Believe me, based on my understanding of her, it would be better if you tell her now than for her to find out later. Your wedding is tomorrow, and I hope you will take the initiative to confess everything to her when you go back tonight."

Shi Ye raised his eyelids and looked at Si Mo, his voice suddenly became hoarse, "Based on your understanding of her, do you think she will still be with me after she knows the truth?"

When their eyes met, Si Mo was stunned for a moment.

Every time he saw Shi Ye before, he saw an incomparable arrogance in Shi Ye's eyes, as if he looked down upon the world like a king.

Unexpectedly, today, in the eyes of such a man, he actually saw a hint of helpless fragility.

Seeing that Si Mo didn't answer, Shi Ye smiled bitterly, "Look, you know that once you tell her, our relationship will end. If that's the case, why not let her know forever? Anyway, Yan Yi and I won't have any contact. A white lie will at least not separate us."

"No, you're wrong." Si Mo retorted, "I'm not sure what decision Lan will make after knowing this, but I'm sure that your concealment is deceiving her."

Shi Ye picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

He put down his wine glass heavily, got up and left without saying a word.

Si Mo quickly added: "As her good friend, I won't let her hold a wedding with you without knowing what's going on."

Hearing the voice, Shi Ye stopped and turned his back to Si Mo.

Si Mo continued, "Because Lan loves you very much, I don't want to investigate whether there is anything between you and Yan Yi, but Lan must know about the relationship between you.

If you don't say it, then I will say it, but when it comes from my mouth, the nature of it is different."

If you really value Lan, then I hope you will think carefully about what to do next."

"I will think about it carefully. Thank you for your reminder." After saying that, Shi Ye strode away.

After dinner, Zhao Jingchuan and Yun Luoxi sent Gu Jinlan back to Shi's house.

On the way, Zhao Jingchuan said, "Lanlan, why don't you go home tonight so you don't have to run back tomorrow morning."

Because Gu Jinlan has already left the Ye family and the Ye family is no longer her natal family, during tomorrow's wedding ceremony, Gu Jinlan will marry from the Zhao family.

Shi Ye brought the wedding procession to Zhao's house to pick up the bride.

Yun Luoxi nodded in agreement: "Yes, this way we can chat more in the evening."

Gu Jinlan said, "You are a pregnant woman, why are you still chatting so late at night? Go to bed early when you get home and don't stay up late."

Yun Luoxi straightened her back quickly, "I'm in good spirits, and the baby in my belly is healthy. And according to traditional customs, you shouldn't have seen Brother Ye tonight. It doesn't make sense for the bride and groom to sleep together the night before the wedding."

Gu Jinlan smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. It's just a ritual. Ranran is still waiting for me at home. He has been especially attached to me recently. I have to go back to accompany him."

Ever since she came back from Country M, Ranran wanted to stick to her every day.

When mentioning Shi Xingran, Yun Luoxi's hand unconsciously touched her lower abdomen.

As an expectant mother, she understands a mother's love for her child better than ever before.

"Okay, then go back and accompany Ranran. I won't persuade you anymore."

The car drove into the Shi family's manor and stopped at the door of the main house.

Zhao Jingchuan got out of the car and opened the door for Gu Jinlan. "Lanlan, my brother and I will pick you up early tomorrow morning. Go to bed early."

"Okay, see you tomorrow morning, and you guys should go back and get some rest."

After parting with the two, Gu Jinlan turned and walked into the house.

Just then she met Butler Xue and asked, "Uncle Xue, is Aye back?"
