Chapter 960 - Hornets Nest (1/2)
Since the news of Francesca's pregnancy started circulating, even before the Spring Festival, everyone was in the mood for the festival. But none get the chance to celebrate it. Since it was the end of the year, everyone's workload had increased. And they hardly even had time to breathe.
One would say Xiu was the most leisurely person but she was the busiest. She had been spinning like a top. She had so much planning to do. And since she was the only person at home, all the kids were also with her. How could she be free in these circumstances?
To people, she was truly like a virtuous and loving wife and mother. No one could say otherwise.
But when it came to people around her, they knew that those labels weren't enough to describe what Xiu was. She was a whole lot more than what people said. Her biggest role in this family was, being the best support!
No matter who it was, she would give them her whole support.
This year's Spring Festival was special to all. Everyone was gathering for this Spring Festival. Even Ying was back, how could it not be a big deal now?
”You got tanned,” said Xiu when she looked at Ying. And trust me, she was putting it lightly when she said Ying had 'tanned.'
”You don't need to be so polite, Xiu,” said Ying as she hugged her. ”And where is my nephew? Does he even remember me? Or my absence left a mark on his little heart?”
Xiu laughed at her, ”As if. He never had any impression of you. Well, he wasn't supposed to. But my Xiao Bobo is your sole follower, how can he not let my son know about you?” Ying looked pleased when she heard that. What Xiu didn't explain was how whenever Xiao Bobo came around to visit, he'd open the photos of Ying to show Rowan and tell him long stories about Ying Jie. So much that even Rowan was excited to meet this aunt he had never even seen!
”Leave me aside but you look quite happy,” stated Ying.
”Don't speak the obvious,” came Dylan's voice. ”Hello, my archenemy!”
”Hello, dear mistress!” replied Xiu. ”It's been a while, eh!”
Dylan looked back and held the hand of the woman behind him before pulling her up to stand beside him and placed his arm around her waist as he said, ”It takes a while to catch a wife.”
”First get married then try to show off,” retorted Xiu. Then she turned to Cali and smiled happily, ”It's a surprise to see you! I thought you weren't coming.”
”I asked Dylan not to let you know beforehand,” said Cali. ”But now that I've managed everything in Italy, I'll be staying around.”
”What staying around? You already are joining the hospital as department head after the Spring Festival,” grumbled Dylan unhappily.
”Being a surgeon is still the passion, eh?”
Cali nodded her head, ”Can't forget my roots. I can't deal with business. It's not my cup of tea. I'm happy Dylan helped and now I've put responsible people on respective fields. I can finally go back to the playground which I ruled once.”
Xiu chuckled, ”That's good for you.”
”You're not inviting us in?” asked Dylan.
”When did you need an invitation, mistress?” retorted Xiu.
