Chapter 271 Can you protect it?
"Turn another corner ahead, it's right behind you!"
Si Yao pointed to an intersection and Su Yang turned. Before the car had completely turned around, rows of tall willow trees were lined up in front of the door. Except for the lack of some leaves, it could be seen from the trunks alone that these trees were at least thirty or forty years old.
A tall gate appeared in front of him, and not far away, there stood a stone tablet.
Su Yang was dumbfounded. He only knew that the Si family was rich, but he didn't know that the Si family was so rich!
This house is located in the city center of Jiangcheng City. Its conservative value is probably more than 700 to 800 million yuan. If it is put aside for more than ten years, even a nine-digit sum may not be enough to buy such a large yard.
Moreover, this is a cultural relic.
Si Yao smiled. She could imagine the shock Su Yang felt when he first saw this house.
"Just drive in..."
Su Yang had just stepped on the brakes, but when he heard Si Yao say that, he released them again and walked into the house.
Before they got close to the house, a middle-aged man with a smile on his face came out from the door, waved at Si Yao, and opened the door for her.
Si Yao waved her hands and said, "This is Uncle Qing. Usually when the old house is free, he takes care of it, burns incense, cleans the yard, and often takes us out to play when we were little."
The gate of the courtyard was opened, and what came into view was a row of parking spaces. At a glance, there were probably more than a dozen of them, and there were about ten cars parked there.
There were several cars that Su Yang could recognize. One belonged to Si Xuezhong, another to Si Ruyun, and in the corner was a blue Porsche. Just a glance at it made Su Yang's face look a little cold.
It's true that enemies always come together. He underestimated Si Zhen's courage.
This bastard actually dared to come.
Su Yang parked the car, Si Yao got out, and he followed her in. If this group of people still had some sense, and Si Xuezhong was here, they would definitely not attack Si Yao.
But what if, what if there is someone really brave enough, what if this really is the Hongmen Banquet?
Su Yang thought for a while, then returned to the trunk of the car, took out a screwdriver half the length of his arm from the toolbox, and stuffed it into his sleeve.
Speaking of which, this thing is the most convenient.
The screwdriver in his Audi A6L last time was taken away by the Municipal Bureau as a murder weapon. The one in this car is obviously of better quality.
After entering the main courtyard, there were seven or eight chairs next to a large tea table. Si Xuezhong was sitting in the main seat. He picked up a pot of boiling water, poured it into the teapot, brewed a pot of tea, poured it into the fairness cup, and distributed it to the people in front of the tea table.
The weather in December was cool after all, but the main courtyard was surrounded by four or five electric heaters and a charcoal stove, so I didn't feel cold at all, but rather a little hot.
Sitting on Si Xuezhong's left was Si Ruyun. She was drinking tea and her emotions did not seem to fluctuate.
Sitting on the right side of Si Xuezhong was Si Yao's second uncle, Si Dongheng.
Si Dongheng smiled slightly: "Xiao Jing, your sister is back, why don't you go and see her, weren't you worried about Si Yao just now!"
Si Jing stood up and a bright smile appeared on his face when he saw Si Yao for the first time. He was in his thirties and had spent most of his time abroad, but during the few years he spent in China, he watched Si Yao grow up with his own eyes.
"I was really scared when I heard that you were in trouble."
"I rushed back from Country R. I'm so glad to see that you're okay!"
"You don't know how worried I am!"
Si Yao also laughed: "Brother, it's not as serious as Second Uncle said. Look, I can run and jump. Don't worry, your sister, I won't die that easily!"
Si Jing patted Si Yao on the shoulder.
"That's good. Next time, be careful and don't scare your brother again!"
"Your brother is not the same as he used to be. I remember one year when I took you out to play, you fell into an ice hole and almost drowned!"
"I was young then, and I could jump in and pull you out. But I won't have that much physical strength in the future."
"Look, you've gained weight."
The smile on Si Jing's face was as warm as spring breeze, and no one could feel disgusted at all.
Su Yang kept staring at Si Jing, unwilling to give up even any detail of his words. He hoped to see something from Si Jing's eyes, but he failed. If he had no doubts about Si Jing, then Si Jing would be the most normal person in the Si family.
Si Yao joked: "Then you have to find me a sister-in-law quickly. If you get fatter, I'm afraid no one will be willing to marry you!"
After hearing this, Si Jing burst into laughter, and then turned his gaze to Su Yang.
"This is Su Yang?"
"It's really better to meet in person than to hear about it!"
"After seeing you today, I can see that you are indeed a handsome man!"
Si Jing extended his hand to Su Yang, and Su Yang shook hands with him but didn't say anything.
Si Yao pulled the two people apart: "Alright, sit down and talk. Didn't you say that a banquet was prepared for today? I've been in the hospital for a while and couldn't eat anything. Finally, I can have a good meal. If the food is not to my liking, I will leave immediately!"
Si Yao wanted to sit next to Si Zhen, but Su Yang happened to take the lead and sat next to Si Zhen. When he sat down, he nodded at Si Zhen and smiled slightly.
Si Yao sat next to Su Yang, and on her other side was Si Jing.
Si Xuezhong glanced at Su Yang with an unfriendly look: "Didn't I tell you to come back alone? Why did you come back with someone else?"
Si Yao frowned.
"What's wrong with me bringing someone back? Su Yang is my boyfriend. When he graduates, we will get married. Doesn't he count as a family member?"
"Besides, it's my freedom to bring back anyone I want. If you don't object, that means you agree."
Si Xuezhong sneered, too lazy to debate with Si Yao, and just glanced at Su Yang.
"She is ignorant, and neither are you. It's a family dinner, but you still come here to join in the fun."
Su Yang leaned back in his chair with a smile: "If you hadn't said it was a family dinner, I wouldn't have come. What if you introduce a guy to my girlfriend and she insists that this guy is a family member, where can I cry?"
"Or maybe someone is plotting something bad towards my girlfriend, and as her boyfriend I can't be there in time, how derelict of my duty would that be?"
"Do you really think that anyone can come into your prestigious compound?"
Si Xuezhong glared at Su Yang: "What do you mean?"
"How can I not protect my own daughter?"
Su Yang glanced at Si Zhen, Si Ruyun, Si Dongheng and Si Jing, and sneered: "Can you protect them?"
"Besides your Si Group, what else do you care about? I told you a long time ago that someone wanted to kill Si Yao, but you just listened with one ear and ignored it with the other. I really doubt how you were able to build such a big business as the Si Group."
"Is your head filled with lead, or was it kicked by a donkey?"
As soon as Su Yang finished speaking, Si Ruyun, who was standing next to him, dropped the cup in her hand to the ground. Si Dongheng took a sip of tea and looked at Su Yang in surprise. Even Si Jing was a little shocked, but the next second, he narrowed his eyes and flashed a meaningful smile.
Only Si Zhen, who was standing next to him, felt very uneasy, with beads of sweat the size of beans streaming down his forehead uncontrollably.
