Chapter 176 - Sister-In-Law? (1/2)

Xiu had to spend the next fifteen minutes trying to convince Darren that she was okay. And after talking to him, she figured why Dylan was wearing the same clothes as last night and looked disheveled. Apparently, Darren's been trying to contact her from last night but when he couldn't, he disturbed Dylan's sleep.

Poor Dylan had to wake up at dawn and look for Xiu everywhere. And the worst part was Darren's been constantly blaming him for being irresponsible since he even managed to lose a twenty-three-year-old.

”Why are you in the hospital?” asked Darren and chewed on his nails anxiously.

”Um... About that...” Xiu tried to think of something and said, ”Well, it seems I was overworked. Yes, that's it. You know how I've been running around all day, it exhausted me.”

Darren stayed silent for a minute before saying, ”Give the phone to Dylan.”

Xiu frowned but passed the phone back to Dylan. And just as Dylan placed the phone against his ear, his expressions shifted from pale to the look of horror. ”I understand. Don't worry, I'll do as you said.” Xiu only heard Dylan's reply and secretly felt really happy seeing Dylan in a difficult situation.

”What did he say?” asked Xiu only to irk Dylan and it worked.

Dylan glared at her hatefully and started, ”You! You're real trouble! I was right about you all along. My own best friend is saying that it's my fault that you're in the hospital. He said I'm an irresponsible boss for abusing my power.” Xiu pursed her lips and rubbed her nose feeling guilty. ”He also said that as my executive assistant, it might be your responsibility to listen to me from 9 to 5 but after that, I have to listen to you. Because as long as he's not around, you're my responsibility.”

Xiu was amused to learn about her new superpower - making Dylan dance at her fingertips. She couldn't hide the evil smirk. ”Little Didi, go get something to eat. This sister-in-law is feeling a little hungry.”

Dylan's jaw hit the floor and he had to hold the side of her bed to support his body as he looked at her and said, ”Sister-in-law? Aren't you really eager?”

Xiu touched her head and said, ”I told you little Didi, I'm permanent. I ain't going nowhere. You better get used to me.”

”You!” Dylan gritted out in a loud voice but a little helplessly as well.

”You better not raise your voice at her again,” came a voice from behind him and only then Dylan turned around to notice the two brothers standing in the same posture with their arms crossed before their chest in an intimidating way.

Xin Xiaosi was the first one to speak as he said, ”I like this little sister, so you better watch your tone around her, Hedi.”

”Besides, she is a patient and the doctor clearly said to let her rest,” added Xin Xiaoli in defense and added, ”And by the way, Hedi I never expected you to be such a person.”

”What did I do?” Dylan looked at Xin Xiaoli and questioned.

”She was so worried that you'd yell at her for not completing her duty,” said Xin Xiaoli and Dylan looked at Xiu who in turn lowered her head, played with her fingers acting as the epitome of innocence.

Dylan resisted the urge to strangle her as he looked at Xin Xiaoli and said, ”Li bro, you really need to re-evaluate this little thing. She's a nightmare dressed like a fairy.” Then he looked at Xin Xiaosi and went on, ”And you, Ah-Si, it's been three years since you stopped talking to me for no reason. But now, you're actually standing up against me for a stranger? We're the cousins here. She's not!”
