Chapter 650 - Dì Mèi (1/2)

`”Who's that?”

Those were the first words that came out of Nora's mouth as soon as her best friend, Xiu walked up to her side.

Xiu looked behind her at Zhao Huan and smiled softly, ”She is... Your future aunt-in-law.”

”What?!”

Xiu chuckled at Nora's response before patting her shoulder, ”Listen girly, do a better job at greeting your elders. You're eventually gonna be a part of the Xin family.” She took a moment before adding, ”And besides, why are you looking for me? Shouldn't you be clinging to your boyfriend?”

Nora's brows furrowed up and Xiu could perceive the change in her mood as well. ”Did I say something wrong?”

Nora wanted to pull her hair out in exasperation but couldn't do it since she had done her beautiful braid with much difficulty. So, she resorted to shaking her best friend's shoulders as she told her, ”Bestie, I'm in big trouble! My future seems bleak at the moment. My parents strongly dislike Ah-Si. And they haven't even met him yet. I just met Ah-Si's grandparents and they seem to hate me as well. I'm afraid if I try to go and say hi to this aunt-in-law, I'll further get in trouble.” Her shoulders slumped as she went on, ”I don't have your charms. People always feel at ease around you. Why can't I seem to impress anyone?”

Xiu's brows knitted up in disp_l_e_a_s_u_r_e before she smacked her head saying, ”Do you also need a beating like your boyfriend?” Nora instinctively took a step away from her. ”Let me clear this up for you, Ah-Si's grandparents have no say in Ah-Si's life. I don't think Ah-Xin would let that happen. The only person you should care about is Ah-Xin. And he already likes you. Isn't that enough that you're getting another amazing father in the form of your father-in-law? I don't think there is anyone luckier in this room than you.”

The corner of Nora's lips curved up a little before she said, ”Isn't Qiu Meihui luckier? I mean Mr. Xin Zimen is yet to be my father-in-law but he is already Qiu Meihui's father-in-law.”

Xiu gave her a sideways glance. ”From what I've been seeing, I'm not certain about Qiu Meihui. Whether she is luckier or not is something still very difficult to say.”

”What do you mean?” inquired Nora uncertainly.

Xiu shrugged her shoulders, ”If only I knew the details myself. But I'm just as clueless as you are.” She twirled her hair and went on, ”But I think you'd be able to impress Zhao Huan. She is a very nice person.”

Nora's brows raised up slightly, ”From your interaction with her, I can certainly tell that she is a nice person.”

”What do you mean?” Xiu looked perplexed by her words.

”Dear bestie, if I didn't know better I might actually think she is your mother.” Xiu's eyes widened as Nora continued, ”No, you don't look like her. It's just... I don't know how to describe it. But you guys looked quite harmonious.”

Xiu gnashed her teeth in annoyance and whisper-yelled at Nora, ”Do you think my life doesn't have enough complications already? Don't try to put stuff into my head!”
