Chapter 628 - About to Meet the Parent? (1/2)
Xiao Chennan brought Vera to his car after they were done with breakfast.
Vera was very puzzled and she hurriedly asked, “Where are we going now?
“We are going somewhere…where I wanted to bring you long ago,” Xiao Chennan did not say anything but he simply decided to keep it a surprise.
Vera did not ask him anything much because she trust in Xiao Chennan. So, she simply put on her seat belt in a calm manner.
The both of them returned to the city area in Luo City. As they drove through the noisy and bustling street, they finally parked in front of an old fashioned residential complex.
The buildings in this area was very old and there were not many people in this area. It seemed as though the surrounding buildings had the word ‘demolition’ written all over it.
“This is…”
“Yes, this is where I used to live during my earlier days. After finding out about what my uncle did, my mother kept clamoring to move back here. I cannot even stop her,” Xiao Chennan explained as he leaned against the car door. “You have already met my uncle, that bastard. After getting threatened by Yuning the other day, he quickly ran away from Luo City the next day. I think he is hiding in a city quite far away from here right now. I am bringing you here to meet my mother today.”
“Why didn’t you tell me about this earlier? How can I come empty handed to see your mother? Isn’t it a little too rude? Furthermore, I am afraid that your mother will dislike me.”
Vera was panicking at this time.
Xiao Chennan took this opportunity to hold Vera’s hand before he said calmly, “I have already told my mother in advance that I did not tell you that I will be bringing you here to see her today. She will not be so calculative and blame you for anything. Besides that, she also knows that you have already helped me a lot in my career. So, trust me when I say that she will definitely like you.”
Since they had already arrived at the front door, it would also be impolite for her not to go into the house.
In the end, Vera could only glare at Xiao Chennan because he did not discuss such an important matter with her.
“I was afraid that you will run away again. Therefore, I must try to make sure that you will settle down early.”
As soon as Vera heard these words from Xiao Chennan, she could not help but feel a little less frightened and much more relieved. Therefore, Vera simply took a deep breath before she followed closely behind Xiao Chennan as they walked up the stairs.
Was she about to meet the parent now?
Vera’s feet was already feeling a little tired and heavy after they walked all the way up to the fourth floor. As soon as the door was opened, a fat woman with a loving smile on her face hurried forward and grabbed Vera’s hand directly.
“Come in, Vera. Come in!”
After she was done speaking, the woman pointed her finger at Xiao Chennan before she said, “You, stand outside! I want you to reflect on your own actions today. You almost made me lose my future daughter-in-law.”
Vera could not help but chuckled and laughed out loud at this time. After all, it was really rare for her to see the man standing next to her getting beaten up.
Xiao Chennan could only rub his nose gently before he stood outside the door as instructed.
“Auntie…he…”
“You don’t need to feel distressed because of him. This is the way that I have been educating him ever since he was a child. Since he is already a mature adult now, he have to think even more clearly in future! How can he ask to break up just because he wanted to do so? If it was any other girl, she would have already left a long time ago!”
Xiao Chennan’s mother took Vera’s hand before she led her to sit down on the sofa.
Their house was not very big but it felt very warm and comfortable inside. Moreover, there was also the fragrance of flowers inside the entire living room.
Since Xiao Chennan had nothing much to do in recent years, she had simply been busy raising some potted plants and flowers and doing embroidery in her own house.
“Auntie…”
“Vera, have you been working hard lately?” Xiao Chennan’s mother asked as she held tightly onto Vera’s hand. Because she was already old, her hands was already covered in lines and wrinkles.
“No, it is not that bad.”
“Okay.” Xiao Chennan’s mother could not help but sighed after listening to Vera’s words. “Out of the Xiao family members, Xiao Chennan’s father and his younger brother left this world just like that. Therefore, I do not have a lot of expectations for Chennan. I am happy as long as he is healthy and happy. However, my younger brother is really very irresponsible. He did not only try to hurt me but he also implicated the younger generation in the process. I really feel very bad and guilty because of this matter. Fortunately, your relationship is strong and firm enough. That is why the both of you can still get back together even after you broke up. Otherwise, what would my stupid son have done?”
