491 The Key (1/2)

Xiu rubbed her hands together as she said, ”Let's begin then...”

Xin Zimen perched his elbow at the side to support his face while he listened to her attentively.

”I'm gonna ask a question. How do you enter in a house?”

”Through the door,” answered Ah-Si.

”What do you need to open the door?”

Ah-Si's brows furrowed up as he replied, ”A key.”

”Exactly.” Ah-Si's frown deepened but she didn't care as she went on, ”Your goal right now is my sister, Nora Cartwright. Let's assume that she as the house, you're trying to get in. My uncle Jing and Clara mom are the door standing tall between you and her.” She looked in the direction of Jackie who had already put down Ava and was holding her finger to take a walk around. ”Meanwhile, he is the key to that door.”

”Huh?” Ah-Si was dumbfounded.

Xiu placed her elbow on Xin Zimen's shoulder as she said, ”Your son is very slow.”

”I know,” he replied plainly.

Xiu shook her head at Ah-Si and went about the whole situation in a different way. ”Ah-Si, do you even know how many lovers get separated in our country because of parents' disagreement?” He shook his head back and forth. ”Well, just know that the ratio is high. And I assume you don't want to become the part of that ratio. Am I right?” He nodded his head solemnly.

Xiu took a deep breath.

”Then how to avoid the situation?” wondered Xiu.

”How?” he inquired.

”Of course, your job is to impress your future in-laws. And no offense but right now they hate your guts! Literally hate you very much. It's nothing personal it's just that you dared to hurt Nora and that's an unacceptable crime.” Ah-Si's brows raised up as she went on, ”You see, my Clara mom is a very rational woman. She for a second can think from your perspective but my dear uncle Jing doesn't give a damn about your 'perspective'. The only thing he can see is that you hurt his precious daughter.”

Ah-Si didn't dare doubt Xiu's words.

”Actually, it's not just for Nora. Even if it's me or Jackie, he'd react the same way. He is a very simple person, if you hurt his kids, he won't let you live in peace.”

”Interesting...” Xiu looked at Xin Zimen who suddenly remarked with a chuckle. ”So I guess when I heard rumors that Jing Ge is very protective of his kids, it wasn't wrong?”

”Definitely not,” replied Xiu confidently. That family was one of her pride in this life. Because she knew she had her own place in that family and in everyone's heart there.

”So, you're telling me I'm doomed?” voiced out Ah-Si.

”Now, that's where you're wrong!” Xiu rubbed her nose. ”You are overlooking one very important point.” She pointed at Ava as she went on, ”I even said to you before. You and Nora have a daughter. And that's a game-changer!”

Ah-Si finally was getting to what she was trying to say.
