Chapter 890 - Drop A Bomb (2/2)

”I'll go with you,” Xin Zemin also stood up.

They were not only acquainted with Zhou Jinhai, now they were kind of relatives as well. Not kind of since Darren was undoubtedly Zhou Xichen's son. So they were relatives no matter how one looked at it. That's why it wouldn't be good if they didn't go over to check up on the situation. Since their family's daughter was also involved in this incident. All the more reason for these two fathers to go over.

Xiu neither stopped them nor gave any opinion over that. It's not she wanted Jinhai to die, so she obviously wanted them to go to see him. She wanted to become heartless but she couldn't really be completely heartless. At least, not towards people who didn't really deserve such ruthless treatment.

They say children have to pay for the crimes of their parents. This fact seemed to have turned to reality for Zhou Jinhai. The crimes of his mother, he had to pay for it all. But she didn't want him to pay it with his life. That was too much to ask for.

Even though she had paid with her life, she still didn't wish the same for him. It was unfair to him.

”We'll be back soon,” said Xin Zimen.

Xiu nodded at him and then thought of something, ”Ah-Xin if I ask for something will you give it to me?”

”Of course, he will,” answered Xin Zemin for his brother. ”You just tell him what you want. Let me see how he refuses you.”

Xin Zimen really wanted to question them, when did he ever say no to her? But he stopped himself in time and looked at Xiu calmly, ”What do you want, little lass?”

Xiu pointed at something behind him, ”Him!”

Xin Zimen's brows knitted up when he heard this and turned his head. When he looked at the person standing behind him, his frown deepened.

”You want Brother Kuan?”

Xiu smiled at him and nodded her head. ”I thought if I take him around, you wouldn't worry at all. Am I right?”

Xin Zimen looked at Xin Kuan and nodded in agreement, ”That's true. If you take Brother Kuan, I can rest assured.”

”Then can you let me borrow him for a few days?”

”What do you say, Brother Kuan?”

Xin Kuan was still in shock over why he was suddenly called out by this little devil of the Xin family. Don't think he didn't know anything about Xiu. This devil could entrap a soul without you even knowing it. However, he was also curious about why she pointed him out. And was really interested in knowing that as well.

”As you say, Xiao Zi. I'll follow the orders.”

Xin Zimen nodded satisfactorily, ”Then you stay with her. And follow what she says. No matter how crazy it seems, just do it.”

”I'll naturally follow any order given,” answered Xin Kuan.

”Since this is settled,” began Xin Zimen. ”Let's leave now, Mr. Xin Zemin.”

”I'm your elder brother, talk nicely.”

”It's as nice as I can ever be.”

Xiu watched them leave and silently smiled at Xin Kuan who felt like there was a hidden meaning behind that smile he wasn't able to read at all. How strange! He had managed to live till now because he was good at reading people. How was he unable to read someone half his age?

”So, why are just standing there, Uncle Kuan?” asked Xiu and paused. ”I can call you Uncle Kuan, right?”

”Young Miss can call me however you like,” answered Xin Kuan.

”Why so uptight? I'm a casual person. Just call me by my name. And I'll call you Uncle Kuan. Do we have a deal?” She didn't even wait for his reply before adding, ”I already like this cooperation. Let's get going now.”

Xin Kuan really wanted to ask her when did he agree to any part of that deal or was her original plan to just agree on her own? However, he didn't mind it either. This kind of deal reminded him of the time his Mistress left him with Xin Zimen.

She had also begun with, 'Brother Kuan, let's make a deal? Ah-Xin doesn't have anyone with him. So, you be his brother and stay by his side. I know my parents left you with me. But I want you to protect my husband. If you protect him, I'll be at ease. If I'm at ease, I'll be happy. And haven't you always wanted to see me happy? It's a win-win situation for both of us.' She also hadn't waited for his reply as she went on, 'So, our deal is final. Don't go back on it.'

He still wished to ask Wen Ai, how exactly was that a win-win situation? And when did he agree to any of it?

And now looking at Xiu, the same feeling was back. It was just as he originally thought, this girl had an uncanny resemblance with Wen Ai's personality.

Right now standing before Xiu, he was certain of one thing from his previous experience with growing up with Wen Ai. Xiu was definitely gonna drop a bomb on his head sooner or later.
