Chapter 80 - In-laws (2/2)
”Uhh oh yeah, I'm fine. Thank you for coming.” Xi Jian rubbed Alex's head and for a moment he remembered what happened last night. His lips involuntarily lifted up.
”Ohh, come on! Mom wanna meet her. Is that the woman you brought to the party lately?” Xi Jian's mother was not a passive person who did not know the activities of the entire Xi family. There were no escape information if she wants to find out.
”That old man is just kidding. Don't think about it,” seeing his grandfather's cunning smile this morning made Xi Jian chuckled.
”No way. Father-in-law won't lie about this happy news. If you don't want bring us together, I will see her myself!” Mrs. Xi sat with an annoyed face.
She did not find the slightest clue about the mysterious woman Xi Jian had brought, even when she, Hui Jia, the Xi family's head mistress, was willing to spend a lot of money, but still couldn't get the information she wanted. The last and only way to find out about it was through Bai Xu. Unfortunately, her son's stone assistant did not budge with the money she offered. On the one hand, she felt calm because on the side of her youngest child there was a very loyal person. On the other hand, she was really upset because Bai Xu did not budge as she wished.
”Is she from a distinguished family?” Hui Jia glanced at her son. Xi Jian, still with a deadpan expression, did not answer. Hui Jia gave up rummaging through information that she couldn't possibly get any further. For the time being she will let it go. Hui Jia can ask her father in-laws directly later. The old woman looked back at her son's condition, then hug Xi Jian.
”Thank God you're all right.” A mist began to cover her eyes.
”When we saw the news of your accident, your mother fainted.” Yang Zi told the details of what happened that day.
”It was truly a nightmare for me. Please don't make me feel that way anymore, son. Your mother won't be able to take another attacks like this.” Hui Jia rubbed Xi Jian's hand. Tears rolled down her cheeks. Xi Jian doesn't like to see his mother cry.
”I'm sorry. This won't happen again,” he said softly, his eyes softening.
Yang Zi and Hui Jia taken aback to find Xi Jian's attitude had a little change far from his usual characteristic attitude that would dismiss anyone who approached him. Yang Zi gazed at the big man sitting there was the same man as when he was first introduced by her husband. A bit of relief crept into her heart. Maybe his near-death experience made Xi Jian change. Yang Zi unconsciously cried.
Xi Jian looked panicked. ”And why the hell are you crying too?” he was not very good with women who cry. ”You two better stop now or I'll expel all of you.”
In the midst of the cries of these two women who were getting louder, there was laughter between them. Alex could only look confused at her grandmother, mother and uncle who looked flabbergasted.
In the past, whatever Xi Jian said would scare them a little and immediately agreed to whatever he said without daring to argue back. But now, with the bandages on his arms and legs and a slightly disheveled appearance, especially his flabbergasted expression made him look adorable. Hui Jia wiped her tears with the back of her hand. Maybe other people couldn't see the change in this man. But in the eyes of a mother, a little treatment or expression of Xi Jian who had been stiff slowly began to return to the way it was before. Hui Jia could only guess at one possibility of Xi Jian's change. Her future daughter-in-law.
