724 Who To Blame? (1/2)

Ying shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly and stepped away giving them the privacy they needed. However, she hadn't gone far. Since they were right around the corner, the other people didn't know about Zhao Wei's presence. And that's why Ying had to keep watch because if others got to know, even she won't be able to predict the consequences with so many possessive parents around here.

Xin Xiaoli silently looked at Zhao Wei waiting for her to start talking. But Zhao Wei only felt fidgety under his gaze. She had so much to say but now that she stood before him, she really had nothing to say at all.

Slowly, she gathered her courage and asked, ”How is Xiu?”

Xin Xiaoli's eyes flashed with a strange light but he answered honestly, ”She is doing well. She and her baby both are safe for now.”

”B-Baby?” Zhao Wei's words faltered along with everything else she had come here for. She covered her mouth with a trembling hand as she questioned, ”Xiu is pregnant?” Xiao Li looked at her changing expressions and nodded. ”That is such wonderful news.”

Xiao Li's eyes narrowed slightly as he reminded her, ”Is it really wonderful news to you?”

”Of course, it is,” Zhao Wei didn't hesitate to answer. ”It's Xiu and Regi's first child. Why wouldn't I be happy about it?” She wasn't lying. Everything else apart, she was really happy to hear this news. She had always treated Darren as a family member, why wouldn't she be happy to hear about this? As for Xiu, she had liked that girl from the moment she first heard about her. All her feelings towards both of them were genuine.

At the wedding, she did go overboard when she raised her hand at Xiu but it was only because she momentarily lost her reason. Or perhaps, her love for her own daughter got the best of her. Whichever reason it was, she knew it in her heart that she was wrong.

Xin Xiaoli was silent for a minute before saying, ”First child who almost died even before coming to this world.”

Zhao Wei's happiness suddenly vanished as fear took its place. How could she forget? Her daughter almost took an innocent life. The thought made her heart clench. Closing her eyes to calm down, she asked, ”How is Regi?”

”Alive,” was Xin Xiaoli's precise answer. He waited for a while before asking, ”Aunt, why did you come here?”

”I was worried about Xiu and Regi. So, I just wanted to know how they are doing.”

”Is that all?”

”Huh?”

”Is that the only reason for you coming here?”

Zhao Wei nodded her head.

”Aunt!”
