726 She Owed Her Nothing (2/2)
Xin Kuan sighed out, ”Suyin had been too quiet for the last couple of years.”
”Just because she had been dormant lately doesn't mean I trust her even a little bit.” He took a pause and added, ”Also, cooperate with Clara Cartwright in any way needed. I have been too quiet and maybe that's why people are forgetting how important my family is to me. They need a reminder that if anyone tries to hurt my family, I won't let them off. No matter who they are!”
”And if young master Li disagreed?”
”He won't,” replied Xin Zimen. ”He is my son. He won't stand against me regarding this.”
*Knock! Knock!*
Xin Zimen looked up when the door was pushed open from outside. Zhao Huan peeked inside and said, ”Xiao Zi, come out for dinner. Everyone is waiting for you.” She looked at Xin Kuan and added, ”Brother Kuan, you should also join us.”
Xin Zimen's eyes narrowed at his sister-in-law who didn't care about his mood swings.
”Don't act like a kid! He is your elder brother. Eating together won't hurt you both.”
”Sister Huan, I'm not hungry,” said Xin Zimen.
Zhao Huan came inside and dragged him out saying, ”Don't even think about using such a childish excuse with me. You haven't touched food since yesterday. I don't even know when you last ate anything.”
”But I really don't feel like eating,” replied Xin Zimen helplessly.
”Do you want me to call my daughter?”
Xin Zimen instantly stopped struggling, ”I'll eat. Let's go!”
Zhao Huan gaped at him in disbelief, ”Wow! I can't believe this. My daughter's name works like a charm on you, eh?”
”I have to listen to her,” told Xin Zimen. ”How else will I steal her from you?”
Zhao Huan smacked his head, ”You dare?!”
”Doesn't your husband always says that I can dare to do anything? So, why can't I steal your daughter?”
