Chapter 789 - Lets Not Force it (2/2)
”What do you mean?” inquired Xin Zimen.
”I mean to say that...” he looked for the right words before saying, ”The answers we are looking for might really change a lot of things in our life.”
”Since meeting your mother, I had come to accept any kind of change life had to offer,” replied Xin Zimen making Xiao Li smile slightly.
”Let's go home,” said Xiao Li.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #'s-not-force-it_51046099804280274 for visiting.
”We are not going to wait here?” asked Xin Zimen.
Xiao Li gave his father a look, ”You don't want to have dinner with your little lass?” Xin Zimen was frozen still at that question. ”When I told Xiu that I might not be home for dinner, she looked sad about it.” While saying that he continued to observe his father's expressions. ”I think she wanted to have dinner with us. So, I was thinking of giving her a surprise.”
Xin Zimen patted his back saying, ”What are you waiting for then? Let's hurry up!”
Xiao Li chuckled silently as he saw his father rushing up towards the car to leave now. It was amusing to see how easy it was to convince his father using Xiu's name.
As they got inside the car, Xin Zimen especially instructed the driver, ”Drive faster. I need to be home before dinner time.”
”Yes, Sir!” replied the driver and focused on driving according to the instructions he received.
”Dad, why are you always so eager to see Xiu?”
Xin Zimen was looking out the window when he heard his son's question. He stopped for a minute before saying, ”I don't know. Maybe because she is so lovable that I can't help it.”
”Lovable?” repeated Xiao Li. ”Then how come everyone is trying to hurt her lately?”
”I don't know,” answered Xin Zimen with a sigh. ”At this point, I really think I should start believing in the rumored curse.”
”What curse?” asked Xiao Li.
”There is a stupid rumor in our family,” said Xin Zimen. ”It says that every daughter in the Xin Family is bound to die.”
”Aunt Suyin is alive though,” reminded Xiao Li with a frown.
Xin Zimen nodded his head, ”That's why I never believed in that nonsense.” He took a pause before adding, ”But your mother believed in that nonsense.”
Xiao Li was surprised to hear that. How come his realistic mother would believe in a thing called a curse? It didn't make sense.
”Or rather than saying that she believed in the curse, she believed someone was trying to take advantage of that curse to do his own dirty deeds.”
Now, that was something Xiao Li was more willing to believe.
