Chapter 55 - A Sudden Turn (2/2)

”Ah … indeed.” She nodded at Mister and Madam Zhong. ”My husband has told me a lot about you already. It's great, you came earlier!” So she said, but she didn't really think like that. She couldn't help wondering if those people might have ulterior motives. Didn't people always tell such stories? Ah, you couldn't even trust your own family nowadays! She really hoped her husband would wake up from his fantasies soon.

Qiu Ling threw a glance at this other Madam Zhong and snorted. Sure enough, my mother-in-law is better. Now wonder, such a woman has a daughter. Speaking of which … He looked around, but couldn't find that damn girl anywhere. ”Hmph. It's better, if you stay away. I also wouldn't want to hurt someone from my beloved's extended family.” With that thought, he turned to Jing Yi again, who was running through the room.

But Qiu Ling was not the only one, who thought of that girl. Zhong Gang perked up and smiled at his wife. ”That's right. Where is Guanyu? Ah Lei brought his son with him. They're nearly around the same age. They'd certainly get along well!”

The lips of his wife twitched. She knew her husband well enough to understand, what was going on in his head. ”Guanyu is busy right now.” She didn't add any explanation, leaving Zhong Gang to feel a little awkward.

With a nervous laugh, he scratched his head. Qiu Ling coughed. They really are family! Father-in-law would certainly have done the same!

”Well, nothing can be done about that, I guess … Jing Yi, I hope you don't mind.” He bent down a little and smiled at the boy.

Jing Yi turned around and smiled, happy that his uncle had not called his daughter over. If he could decide, he'd never meet her!

Zhong Gang's wife turned around, seeing her husband speak to Jing Yi. She took one look at the boy and her attitude turned around. ”Ah, what a lovely child! So this is your son? Mn, he really looks like he is Guanyu's age!”

Madam Zhong smiled, proud of her son's good looks. Which mother wouldn't want her daughter to marry someone good looking? ”Mn, Jing Yi is seven. But he is a little shy.”

”No problem, no problem!” Her eyes shone and she hurried to Madam Zhong's side, intimately grabbing her arm. ”Come, come, sister, have a look at my daughter.”

”Ah …” Even Madam Zhong felt overstrained at this sudden turn in attitude. Was her son's face really that useful? But she couldn't refuse, so she threw her husband a reassuring glance and let the other woman take her away.

Qiu Ling's gaze followed them, while his eyes narrowed dangerously. Don't think, I'll let you use my mother-in-law against me! Whatever you do, it'll be pointless. Jing He is mine. Mine alone.
