Chapter 157: He Knows My Mother
There was a slight rain in the courtyard, and I didn't want to go anywhere when Xi Zhan wasn't there, and my fingers grabbed the skirt on my waist tightly for a while, and I didn't know what to do.
The man knew my concerns and knew that I was waiting for Xi Zhan, he bent down deeply, and his low voice tempted me: "Miss Shi, the old master has something important for you to find you. β
I suppressed the apprehension in my heart and asked, "What is it?"
The man replied, "Something that is advantageous to Mr. Yuxi." β
Why did Xi Zhan come to me?!
I said directly: "You can wait for Xi Zhan to come back and ......."
The man who was bent over interrupted me without humility or arrogance: "Miss Shi, it is a matter of Mr. Xi's safety, the old family master, as a father, is very worried and wants you to keep a document for him." β
No matter what I say, he can pick me up, it seems that Xi Zhan's father has to see me, and he has to hide Xi Zhan, and the matter must not be simple!
Looking at the light in the hallway, I finally agreed, "Please lead the way." β
Seeing that I promised, he breathed a sigh of relief and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of please, "Miss Shi please first." β
I left the courtyard along the corridor, the man followed me slowly, and after getting out of the corridor, I stepped on my high heels and walked onto the wet bluestone road, and the man behind me immediately held an umbrella for me, and on the way we actually met Aunt Jiu and Xi Zhan's nominal fiancΓ©e.
Aunt Nine looked at us in surprise, "Uncle Xi, you actually held an umbrella for her personally!"
Aunt Jiu is considered Xi Zhan's elder, she actually called the person behind me uncle, his identity is definitely not simple, the person known as Uncle Xi said lightly: "The old family wants to see Miss Shi." β
Aunt Jiu was too shocked to say a word, I looked at Xi Nuo before leaving, she nodded to me slightly, her face was elegant and calm, and she was a standard lady.
It was very different from the woman who was angry with me at the entrance of the hospital that day and was about to explode.
Thinking about it carefully, I was indeed a little too much that day, after all, in Xi Nuo's concept, Xi Zhan was her future husband, her god, and the only man she could rely on in this life.
But now is a new era after all, advocating the freedom of love.
What's more, Xi Zhan didn't mean anything to her at all.
Xi Zhan's father's yard was far away from Xi Zhan's courtyard, and I walked for more than twenty minutes to get there.
I followed Uncle Xi into the courtyard and guarded the door, Uncle Xi stepped forward and knocked on the door, and said in a respectful and low voice: "Family master, Miss Shi has arrived, and she is waiting at the door at the moment." β
There was a coughing sound in the room, and my heart tightened for no reason, and I felt a sense of homesickness.
I pursed my lips tightly and stared at the closed room in front of me silently, and a hoarse voice came from inside, "Xi Wei, how is she?"
A person named Xi Wei responded: "The head of the family, Miss Shi is very perfect, strong and confident. β
There was another cough inside, mixed with a low laugh, "Nonsense, where can you know her strong self-confidence when you just met?" Xi Wei, bring her in to meet me. β
Their conversation was inexplicable, and I followed Xi Wei into the room in a bit of a daze.
The room was very simple and tidy, and there was a screen depicting Danqing in the center, Xi Wei pushed the screen open, and an old man sitting in a wheelchair slowly appeared behind him.
Xi Zhan was right, he was indeed counting the days.
I thought for a moment and called out to him, "Uncle." β
When he heard me call me, he raised his eyebrows and smiled and asked, "Why do you call me like that?"
I was stunned, I didn't think he would ask me this question.
I politely explained: "I am Xi Zhan's girlfriend, and you are his father. β
Seeing me mention Xi Zhan, his face was slightly gloomy and said, "Zhan'er's girlfriend." β
I nodded, remembering the first time I met Chairman Gu, when he took the initiative to come to the door, I was generous and comfortable with him, and I would not be as nervous as I am now.
In the final analysis, it was Fu Xi and his assistants who gave me too deep a warning, saying how the Xi family was terrifying, and now facing the former head of the Xi family, I will inevitably not be nervous.
He didn't mention Xi Zhan again, but beckoned to me to come to him, I looked at Xi Wei with some hesitation, and the latter smiled kindly and said, "Miss Shi, the head of the family wants to touch you." β
Touch me......
When I first met him, it was unruly.
Although I thought so in my heart, I couldn't bear the gentle gaze of Shang Xi Zhan's father, and squatted in front of him in the past, he raised his hand and gently touched my head, and his voice carried the traces of years of precipitation, and said softly: "Sheng'er, it is the first time I have met you." β
He was gentle with me, and his words were incomprehensible, and I looked up at him in amazement, and his rough palm gradually touched my cheek, and began to trace my outline.
Somehow, I didn't feel any discomfort in my heart, but I was calm and peaceful, and he touched the outline and touched my ear, and gradually, there were cloudy tears in the corners of my eyes.
My heart was full of puzzlement, and when I wanted to get up, I suddenly heard him remember: "Sheng'er, I only have one child left at my current age, I may not be a good father or husband in my life, but I am like all men in the world, I have the woman I love, the children and grandchildren I want, and the blood relatives I want." β
I didn't understand what he meant, so I asked hesitantly, "What does Uncle want to say?"
He smiled and withdrew his palm, and I stood up and heard him say, "You are the child that Zhan'er has taken a fancy to, and you will be the daughter-in-law of my Xi family in the future, and I hope you can be happy as an elder." β
Xi Zhan's father actually blessed me and Xi Zhan......
Don't they have daughters-in-law of their own?
I asked him, "What about Sino?"
Wasn't Sino being nurtured by them as a mistress all along?
Hearing this, he patiently explained: "I don't have the right to decide on marriage, and Zhan'er is the kind of man who is independent, since he likes you, you are the daughter-in-law of the Xi family." β
The always strict rules of the Xi family will be so casual?
I don't believe it, but that's what Xi Zhan's father said!
My heart was full of confusion, Xi Wei suddenly handed me a document, Xi Zhan's father explained: "Next, this is beneficial to Zhan'er, wait until I die......"
Speaking of this, he suddenly paused, and the old man in front of him seemed to be on the verge of death for a moment, his face was pale, but his eyes showed a sense of perseverance and freedom that he had already done his thoughts.
Xi Wei saw his state, he hurriedly stepped forward and took out the medicine and fed him two, and it took a long time for the old man to sober up a little, and he looked at me in confusion, "Child......"
I was stunned to hear him say in grief, "I'm sorry for your mother. β
He brought up my mother!!
Could it be that he knows who my mother is?
I crouched down in shock and asked, "Do you know her?"
