Chapter 35:Confrontation (1) (1/2)
A few minutes before.
Xinyi tied Chyou's hair in a neat and adorable bun.
”Ready! Ah, you look so cute.”
Chyou's small face gleamed in happiness.
”Aunty! It's really pretty.”
”Do you like it?”
She nodded furiously. ”En! Thank you!”
Xinyi chuckled. ”You are welcome, dear. Let's go and find your parents now.”
She held her hand and entered the gathering hall. The women instantly started murmuring as they saw her.
”Isn't she Mrs. Han?”
”Yes, Han Zhiyuan's wife. Well, she does look okay I guess.”
In reality, Xinyi was beautiful but they felt annoyed that she looked so perfect and had nothing to point fingers at her.
”Who is that little girl with her? Don't they have a son?”
Everybody was curious.
From far away, Xiaosi was calmly watching Xinyi enter with Chyou. On the other side, he already found Caihong talking to Siying.
He sneered. He took out his phone and texted Mu Chuanli about his announcement.
Xinyi searched for Zhiyuan and she found him talking to a few businessmen. She thought to introduce this little girl to him and then meet her parents together with him.
Seems like Zhiyuan is busy…
Then she looked around.
Wait. Where is Siying? He is not with him.
Then she sighed.
He must have run off somewhere.
Xinyi looked at Chyou and smiled. ”Do you see your Mama and Dada anywhere?”
Chyou looked around and found Caihong at a distance. She seemed to be talking to somebody. She craned her neck but didn't find Xiaosi anywhere.
She hesitated.
Dada said he would be there too…
Chyou bit her lip. ”M-Mama is there…” she pointed her finger towards her.
Xinyi raised her head and found her. But her back was facing Xinyi's side so she couldn't see her face. But she did see a familiar face as she lowered her gaze.
”Ah, there is Siying!” She chuckled. ”I think your Mama is already talking to my son. So let's meet her.”
But Chyou stopped her by gently tugging her.
”What happened, dear?”
”D-Dada. Dada is not there.”
She blinked her eyes. ”Hmm. I think he would be busy talking to someone too like Zhiyuan is. Why don't we meet your Mama first?”
She nervously lowered her head.
Xinyi found it a little strange how she hesitated to meet her mother.
Even before, she seemed uncomfortable…
She smiled. ”Don't worry. I am with you. Let's go.”
Xinyi walked up to her. ”Excuse me.”
Siying brightened. ”Mama!”
Xinyi chuckled and nodded at him.
The woman slowly turned to face, freezing Xinyi to her spot.
Caihong was just as surprised to see Xinyi so suddenly.
”You are...Soo Xinyi, right?”
