Chapter 589 - Perfect husband - terrible father (2/2)

Wan Jia hugged her. ”I don't blame you at all. You must not let your mother-in-law get away with what she did.” What an evil woman. How could she poison her son's wife simply because she gave birth to a girl? If she was so much against women then what was she?

Luckily her Little Li was marrying into the Mu family. They wouldn't bully her baby.

Kara responded after a few seconds. ”When we came back to the country and stayed in City H, Liaowen used the chance to take care of her.”

”I'm sorry. Aotian and I couldn't save your company.”

Kara couldn't possibly blame her for this. It was already good enough that the Lu family ensured Xu Tang's and Small Xixi's safety. Besides, Xu Real Estate had rules. Outsiders couldn't interfere with the company's matters no matter what.

While the two pairs of friends caught up on the past, one woman was uneasy.

”Zhichen, come here.”

Mu Zhichen went over with a questioning look. ”Mother, why are you anxious?”

Mrs. Mu knocked her son's head. ”You have the guts to ask? That woman who just came is Mrs. Xu. I haven't seen her for a long while and rumor had it that she died but I'm sure It's her.”

”What about it?”

”Are you stupid? I heard  her son likes Meili and they have been close for years. Not only is she speaking to your future mother-in-law so intimately, her daughter is emotionally speaking to Meili. Who is to say that they are not trying to steal Meili away?”

Mu Zhichen found it comical. His mother managed to make it sound like she was the one who was going to marry Lu Meili. ”Mother, don't think too much about it. No one's stealing your daughter-in-law away.”

”That better be so.” Mrs. Mu said, though she was still unsettled and cautious when Wan Jia led Kara to their direction.

”This is Mrs. Mu. Do you remember her? She is Meili's future mother-in-law.” Wan Jia introduced cheerfully. ”This young man is Meili's fiancé. Zhichen, this is Mrs. Xu. ”

”Hello aunt.” Mu Zhichen was modest.

”So you are the one who became the lucky guy in the end.” Kara's tone was regretful. She had chosen a good wife for that punk but he messed it up. He would never find a wife half as good as Lu Meil.

...

Seeing that the Mus were wary of her, Kara took Small Xixi to leave.

”Mother, shouldn't you have convinced Sis Meili to give brother a last chance? He wasn't in his right mind before. She would listen to you.”

”Xixi, life only gives you one chance. If you don't grab it, It's over. Even if you were given a secind chance, it wouldn't change the fact that you messed up.

The most important thing is Meili's happiness. That young man seems to love her a lot.” Kara said.

At least there was a happy ending for Small Xixi.  Although she had lost the potential sister-in-law she loved very much, her parents were back.

And who said her friendship with Lu Meili was over? They were bound to be best friends forever.

”Sigh. That was one long banquet. It's time to go home.” Lu Meili was exhausted.

”Are you taking your dad's limo back?” Mu Zhichen asked. If she wasn't, he would drop her off.

”Yes. They must be waiting for me. Bye.”

She waved and hurried out.

Wan Jia was still outside the car but as soon as she saw Lu Meili, she blocked the path. ”Where do you think you're going?”

Lu Meili was taken aback. ”Huh? We are going home. Weren't you waiting for me?”

Wan Jia grinned evilly. ”What do I have to do with an engaged woman? Stay with my son-in-law.” She entered the car and they really drove off.

Lu Meili's eyes went wide. ”Hey! How can you leave me? Am I still your daughter?”

Most importantly, she was just engaged! What was the meaning of this??
