He broke his vows for her, and a tycoon descended to earth for love.

Chapter 171 High School Classmates

Siyi had read the information in Ye Zhenghao's file before, and she knew that the forensic doctor in this case was a woman named Xia Ran.

Xia Ran smiled slightly. What a coincidence.

In high school, Xia Ran was my deskmate, and we had a good relationship back then. However, we both went abroad to study and lost touch.

During holidays and festivals, everyone would send each other a text message to wish each other well, but no one expected that she would become a forensic doctor.

She took out her phone and scrolled through the phone numbers. After a while, she found Xia Ran's number. Although she was now a defense lawyer, she still had the right to know some basic information, so contacting Xia Ran wouldn't cause any problems. The car arrived at her firm's entrance. Si Yi paid the fare and got out of the car. Just as she was about to call Xia Ran, she saw someone at the firm's entrance.

Siyi paused in her dialing motion, then finally put her phone away, calmly looking at the woman on the other end. After a long while, she spoke first, "What are you doing here?"

Guan Fengru was anxious, but she felt a little relieved when she saw Siyi. She strode forward, grabbed Siyi, and was about to leave when she said, "Siyi, Mom has something to tell you. Come with me first."

Siyi coldly shook off her wrist, her gaze towards Guan Fengru almost indifferent. "Do you still remember that you are my mother? Ha, I thought you had already abandoned me and my older brother long ago. Just say what you have to say, there's no need to hide it. If it's something shameful, then you don't need to say it, I have no interest in hearing it. If it concerns me, just say it directly. I have nothing to hide."

The words were so sharp and cutting that Guan Fengru's face paled, and her hands, hanging at her sides, clenched involuntarily. She stared straight at Siyi, "Is this how your mother taught you to talk to others since you were little? I'm still your mother! Isn't it too much for you to talk to me like this?"

Siyi sneered, a stubbornness raging within her. She blurted out, "I'm going too far? The two words you have the least right to use to describe me are 'going too far,' because no one is more outrageous than me! Dad was in that state at the hospital, did you even visit him? What are you doing here now? I've said it before, if you want to divorce Dad, I will never acknowledge you again!"

“Siyi! You’re not a child anymore, why won’t you listen? How does what your father and mother have to do with you? Your father is fine now, isn’t he? Why can’t you listen to your mother…”

"I don't want to hear it!" Siyi sharply interrupted Guan Fengru, took a deep breath, and looked at her with red eyes. "I don't want to hear anything. If you came here today just to brainwash me, then forget it. There's no need. Go to the Jiang family and be your wealthy wife."

"Siyi!"

"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now. I have a lot to do." Siyi turned around coldly and stepped into the building entrance when Guan Fengru's voice rang out behind her.

"What's wrong? I know Jiang Yan is going to get into trouble, so you need to help her, right?"

Siyi paused, then gave a somewhat helpless laugh.

Ultimately, it was because of this matter that she knew the woman was in such a hurry to find her, which was somewhat related to Jiang Yan Hui. It just so happened that her information was really accurate.

But Guan Fengru didn't know how painful it was for Siyi to hear Jiang Yanhui mentioned in front of her at this moment.

She was so opposed to her being with Jiang Yanhui, simply because it would hinder her relationship with Jiang Jizhen!

Is this what a mother should do?

She didn't turn around, not wanting to say anything more. She just bit her lip and continued walking towards the building entrance. But unexpectedly, Guan Fengru rushed up and blocked her way. "Siyi, listen to your mother. Don't interfere in Jiang Yanhui's affairs."

Siyi originally intended to say more, fearing she might lose control of her emotions. However, Guan Fengru was, after all, her mother, and she didn't want to hurt her with such sharp words. If Guan Fengru was upset, she would be upset too.

But now she's blocking her way, and she can't avoid it even if she wants to.

"I don't want to talk to you about Jiang Yanhui, don't stop me."

"Siyi, don't interfere in Jiang Yanhui's affairs. Promise me, okay?"

Guan Fengru ignored her. She reached out and pressed Siyi's shoulder, sighing. There were so many things she wanted to say, but also so many things she couldn't say. She said somewhat incoherently, "The Jiang family is too complicated, you must know that. Jiang Yan Hui and Jiang Yan Se don't get along, and Jiang Yan Hui has Lin Zhen Biao as her backer. He'll be fine. No matter who takes that lawsuit, nothing will happen to him. But you're different, Siyi. Listen to your mother, don't get involved in Jiang Yan Hui's affairs. You must stay far away from the Jiang family..."

"And what about you?" Siyi looked at her coldly. "You told me to stay far away from the Jiang family, is it because you're going to marry Jiang Jizhen? Jiang Yanhui was right, wasn't she? You're afraid of incest? But you don't even care about cheating on your marriage, so what are you afraid of?"

"Siyi, don't talk to your mother like that."

Guan Fengru knew that Siyi had always been a stubborn girl. She knew that her marriage had been a huge blow to her, but there were too many things she couldn't say. She could only hold back, her eyes red, and almost plead, "Mom is sorry, but please don't think like that. Siyi, one day you will understand that Mom had her reasons for doing all these things. Just promise me, don't be with Jiang Yan anymore..."

"That's too late."

Siyi closed her eyes, her voice weary, "Mom, I will definitely help Jiang Yan with this case. I'm already his defense lawyer, and I'll be involved in everything he does. You can't stop me now."

“Siyi…”

"You've always told me you had your reasons, but you've never said what they were. Even if you did have a reason, when Dad was on his deathbed, you still stabbed him in the heart. Is that your reason? It's not that I don't want to believe you; I've believed you before, but you still went against my wishes. Mom, don't say anything more. Many things in this world cannot be changed. Blood ties cannot be changed; you will always be my mother. But feelings can change. I don't want to interfere in your affairs anymore, so please don't interfere in mine either."

She finished speaking in one breath, then walked past Guan Fengru toward the door.

Watching her retreating figure, Guan Fengru cried out, "Siyi..." But she quickened her pace, walking until she entered the elevator, frantically pressing the close button, afraid Guan Fengru would catch up again. The doors slowly closed, and she leaned weakly against the elevator wall, tears she had been holding back finally streaming down her face.

Life is truly an unknown journey.

Who knows what kind of problems they might face one day?

She never imagined that one day she would have such a falling out with her most beloved mother, whom she had respected since childhood.

But that's just how it is; she was caught off guard and had no choice but to accept it.

She wiped away the tears on her face, noticing that they were almost at the floor number. She sniffed hard, forcing back the tears in her eyes, and then walked out as if nothing had happened, as the double doors slowly opened.

Xiao Zhang was quite surprised to see Siyi return early. "Attorney Ye, why are you back early?"

Siyi had taken half a month off, but there are still a few days left before the holiday ends.

She returned early, of course, for Jiang Yan's case. "I just took on a case, so I'm canceling my leave early." Back at the firm, she was the work-first Ye Siyi, only instructing Xiao Zhang, "Xiao Zhang, you still need to handle some of the cases that have accumulated before. I have another big case to follow up on this time."

Xiao Zhang nodded. "Okay, Attorney Ye, it's already afternoon. I'm going to buy afternoon tea. Would you like something to eat?"

"No need," Siyi said. "I came to pick up some documents. I have something to do this afternoon. Call me if you need anything else."

Seeing that she was in a hurry, Xiao Zhang didn't say anything more, just responded and went to buy afternoon tea.

Siyi took out her phone again after entering the office. After so many years, this was the first time she had taken the initiative to call Xia Ran. The phone rang for a long time before it was answered. A lazy female voice came from the other end, sounding a bit sleepy, and said "Hello".

Siyi was both amused and exasperated. "Is Forensic Doctor Xia still sleeping at this hour?"

Xia Ran seemed somewhat surprised to hear Si Yi's voice, and after a long while, she finally hummed in response. Si Yi guessed that she had taken her phone away to check the caller ID, and sure enough, a moment later, she heard Xia Ran call out with a slightly surprised tone, "Ye Si Yi?"

“It’s me.” Siyi smiled and said half-jokingly, “Xia Ran, I’m flattered that you still remember me.”

"How could I not remember you, Attorney Ye?" Xia Ran teased from the other end.

Siyi's somewhat gloomy mood seemed to dissipate considerably with Xia Ran's refreshing laughter. "Don't say that, Dr. Xia." 13acv.

"Hey, Siyi, you didn't call me just to flatter me, did you?"

"No, I came here because you were praising me."

"Alright, alright, Talk Show, I can't argue with you, Lawyer."

Xia Ran surrendered on her own initiative, saying with a grin, "We haven't been in touch for so many years. I always thought you were abroad. I only found out you were in City A when I saw your name in the news recently."

Siyi hummed in agreement, recalling her memories of high school and feeling a little wistful. However, she wasn't there to reminisce about the past today, so she quickly got to the point, "I didn't expect you to become a forensic doctor. I've come to you this time because I have something I want to ask you. Xia Ran, let's meet."
