358 Collecting Debt Of Tears! (1/2)
The previous night, Nora was standing at the same door looking all nervous and anxious. Tonight, she found herself at the same place with the same feelings but for a whole different reason. She didn't know how or why but Xiu didn't look like someone who was gonna back out.
Na-ah!
She looked like she was ready for a bloodbath tonight.
Nora could silently pray for Ah-Si's safety because her faith in Xiu's mercy was non-existent! She could be pretty ruthless if she wanted to be.
Xiu rang the bell while Nora was still trying to hold her back. Xiu didn't pay any heed to her best friend's pleads. A woman in her thirties clad in a crisp uniform which indicated that she was housemaid opened the door and looked at Xiu who was throwing fire and Nora who was half-hidden behind Xiu.
But since Nora was taller than Xiu, the maid could clearly see Nora and even recognize her from this very morning.
”Miyabi, who's at the door?” came a voice from behind the woman before a familiar face came into Xiu's view.
”Weird uncle?”
”Oh, little lass?”
”What are you doing here?” Both Xiu and Xin Zimen blurted out at the same time.
Xin Zimen chuckled softly before gesturing the maid, Miyabi to leave. He stood before Xiu and said, ”It's my house. Why do you think I am here? But if you're here not knowing this is my place then I'm gonna assume that I'm not the one you're looking for.”
At this reminder, Xiu threw away her earlier surprise and started breathing fire, ”Of course, not. I'm here to find the one who made my sister cry!” She stared at Xin Zimen with rage as she added, ”And I'm not leaving without collecting some tears.”
”Made your sister cry? Collecting tears?” Xin Zimen frowned slightly. Xiu pushed Nora at the front a bit and Xin Zimen's frown deepened looking at her. ”Nora?”
”How many sons do you have?” questioned Xiu completely disregarding the fact that Xin Zimen was looking really concerned now.
”I have two sons, why?” he answered.
”Well then one of your sons is the reason behind these tears and I'm so not letting this go!” She lifted her baseball bat and placed it on her shoulder adding, ”If I don't make him cry the same amount of tears I'm not leaving!”
Xin Zimen looked at Xiu's stance then he looked at Nora who didn't dare look into his eyes. ”You both should come inside first. This is not a good place for all this,” he said and ushered them in the house. Although Xiu was reluctant, Nora pulled her in. ”Have a seat, I'm gonna ask for someone to bring something to drink for you both.”
”We are not here for that,” reminded Xiu since she felt like he looked way too casual about it as if the person she wanted to beat had nothing to do with him. Or perhaps, he was taking her words way too lightly. Oh, that thought infuriated her even more.
