572 Chopped Into A Million Pieces
On her way to the Xin Villa, Ying had constantly been cursing herself. She was trying to avoid seeing Xin Zin because she knew she'd give away so hints to him. He was just that kind of a person who could read her like an open book. And especially since she had never hidden anything from him, she'd seem even more suspicious. However, she couldn't just go and tell everything to Xin Zin as well. At least not until she was certain about everything herself.
Ying's car had just swerved through the iron gates of the villa when her eyes caught sight of a figure pacing around anxiously. Ying didn't stop to look around more as she drove past that person.
Alighting from the car, she rushed over towards the entrance with a furious look.
Seeing that her expressions weren't very friendly, the maid instinctively pointed towards the back garden saying, "Master is having tea in the pavilion."
So, she ca to the back garden to see Xin Zin happily chatting with Ah-Si who seed to be talking nonstop which was very unlike him.
"Oh, Ying Jie! What's up? You didn't even give any details about your date."
"Let's talk about that later," said Ying to Ah-Si and sat down on the stone seat beside Xin Zin as she looked him up and down. "What's wrong with you? How did you fall ill?"
"I'm fine," said Xin Zin while pushing her hand away from his forehead.
"Then why didn't you go to work for these two days?" asked Ying.
Xin Zin sighed out, "Yesterday, I did have a simple fever." Ying's eyes widened but he continued, "But today, I'm okay. It was really a very trivial matter. As for today, this son of mine kept hugging my leg and didn't let leave for work. I couldn't refuse him."
Ah-Si grinned as if proud of his actions as he even announced, "Yes, yes. I literally held his leg to stop him."
Ying gave Ah-Si a thumbs up saying, "There are indeed so privileges of being the youngest."
Ah-Si was very happy because Ying's remark sounded like a complint to him. "Ying Jie, there are so rose pastries I saved for you. Let get it now."
As he ran inside the house, Ying's eyes couldn't help looking at his back as she comnted, "Why do I feel like his youthful spirit is back?" Shaking her head, she added, "No, that'd be wrong since he wasn't this cheerful even in his youth."
Xin Zin glanced at Ying's face saying, "When a man becos a father, he starts living his youth all over again. As the child reaches different milestones of life, the parents feel like they are living through those monts all over again. It's actually a very fascinating feeling." He took a pause before adding, "And let's not forget that if the child is a girl, then the fathers would do anything to beco their superheroes. I guess Ah-Si is just trying to do his best to beco the best human being for his daughter."
"You're really missing Linlin, eh?"
"It's odd but right now, your feelings are written all over your face."
Xin Zin didn't say anything to deny her words and gave his tacit reply making Ying feel like the most guilty person all over again. But even if her research led to the answer she was hoping for... What'd be the point? Because one way or another, Chen Xiu was dead already.
Ying had just opened her mouth to say sothing when...
"Ying'er!"
Ying hurriedly hid behind Xin Zin's chair like a rabbit as she said, "Ah-Li, listen to first. You can't judge a situation from one perspective. She had touched my bottom-line. So, I ended up slapping her."
Xin Zin's brows quirked up as he tilted his head to glance at Ying, questioning, "You actually slapped Qiu ihui?"
Ying rubbed her neck sheepishly, "I did. But..."
"I don't believe it!" Xin Zin honestly couldn't believe this fact. He knew Ying best. He knew this girl had a lot of patience. Otherwise, she'd have long smacked so sense into Qiu ihui's brain. But she always lived with restraint. No matter what, it wasn't that easy to make Ying act on impulse.
"I think you should believe it, dad," said Xin Xiaoli as he ca up to both of them. "She really slapped ihui."
"You can't yell at for that," warned Ying. "She was truly in the wrong this ti around."
"I'm not here to yell at you," stated Xiao Li while rubbing his forehead. "But will you tell what really happened?"
"Didn't she tell you?" Ying widened her eyes in shock since she had expected Qiu ihui to have exaggerated everything by now like she always did.
"ihui didn't tell anything. She was just crying badly. It was Liu Nuan who told about what you did. However, I don't trust her version of the story. So, will you tell what really happened?"
"Oh," Ying finally understood. These best friends truly knew how to stage a show. One cried pitiful tears to gather sympathy and the other complained about the grievance her best friend suffered at the hands of a brutal villain; Ying who should be chopped up into a million pieces by now to repay for such cri! Pei!
Xin Zin shook Ying's body saying, "Stop playing the monologue in your head. Just answer it already, even I'm curious why you beca so impulsive all of a sudden."
Ying shuddered at the way Xin Zin read her mind at a glance and answered honestly, "Actually I was already very stressed about sothing. Then that stupid Liu Nuan said sothings that made even angrier. The rest of the patience I had was kicked away by ihui herself. Who told her to insult soone's feelings? I couldn't take it when she actually pulled a dead person out of its grave to condemn her feelings."
Ying pouted at Xin Zin as she asked, "Did I do sothing wrong? I never spoke when it was . But what right does she have to question soone's feelings?" She took a pause and added, "And let's be honest, she had it coming for years."
Xiao Li took a deep breath and said, "Let's have so private talk."
Ying held on to Xin Zin's arm shaking her head like a rattle, "No! You're angry! I don't want to hear anything from you."
"Are you kidding ?! I just have sothing to talk with you," Xiao Li was really didn't know whether to laugh or be angry at this stubborn girl who acted like he was gonna beat her.
"Let's just talk here. Right before Zizi!"
"Dad, say sothing to her."
Xin Zin shrugged his shoulders as he replied, "I was asked to never interfere between two best friends. I'll keep my distance from this."
Ying grinned happily while Xiao Li was left speechless at this biasedness of his father. His family truly was one of a kind.
