Give you a lifetime of love

Chapter 157 He Knows My Mother

It was raining lightly in the courtyard, and I didn't want to go anywhere without Xi Zhan's presence. My fingers tightly grasped the skirt at my waist, and I didn't know what to do for a while.

The man knew my worries and knew that I was waiting for Xi Zhan. He bent his waist deeply, and said in a low voice to seduce me: "Miss Shi, the old Patriarch is looking for you because he has something important for you."

I suppressed the anxiety in my heart and asked, "What?"

The man replied: "It's something that is beneficial to Mr. Xi."

Why did Xi Zhan come to me when it was involved? !
I said directly: "You can wait for Xi Zhan to come back..."

The bent man interrupted me in a neither humble nor overbearing way: "Miss Shi, it's about Mr. Xi's safety. As a father, the old patriarch is very worried and wants you to keep a document for him."

No matter what I say, he can take it back for me. It seems that Xi Zhan's father must see me, and he has to hide it from Xi Zhan. The matter must not be simple!
Looking at the faint lights in the corridor, I finally agreed: "Please lead the way."

Seeing that I agreed, he breathed a sigh of relief and stretched out his hand to invite, "Miss Shi invites you first."

I walked out of the courtyard along the corridor, and the man followed me slowly. After stepping on the high heels of the corridor, I stepped on the wet bluestone road. The man behind me immediately held an umbrella for me. Aunt Jiu and Xi Zhan's nominal fiancee.

Aunt Jiu looked at us in astonishment, "Uncle Xi, you actually hold the umbrella for her yourself!"

Aunt Jiu is considered Xi Zhan's elder, she actually called the person behind me uncle, his identity is definitely not simple, the person called Uncle Xi said flatly: "My hometown mainly sees Miss Shi."

Aunt Jiu was so shocked that she couldn't say a word. Before I left, I glanced at Xi Nuo. She nodded slightly to me, her face was elegant and calm, like a standard lady.

It was completely different from the woman who was about to explode when I was angry at the hospital gate that day.

Thinking about it carefully, I was indeed a bit too much that day. After all, in Xi Nuo's view, Xi Zhan is her future husband, her God, and the only man she can rely on in this life.

But now is a new era after all, advocating the freedom of love.

What's more, Xi Zhan has no interest in her at all.

Xi Zhan's father's yard is far away from Xi Zhan's, and I walked for twenty minutes to get there.

I followed Uncle Xi into the courtyard and guarded the door. Uncle Xi knocked on the door and said in a respectful and low voice: "Patriarch, Miss Shi has arrived and is waiting at the door."

There was a coughing sound in the room, and my heart constricted for no reason, and I felt a sense of nervousness that was close to home.

I tightly pursed my lips and stared at the closed room in front of me in silence, a hoarse voice came from inside, "Xi Wei, how is she?"

The one named Xi Wei responded: "Patriarch, Miss Shi looks perfect, strong and confident."

There was another coughing sound from inside, mixed with a burst of deep laughter, "Nonsense, how can you know her strong self-confidence when you just met? Xi Wei, bring her in and meet me."

Their conversation was inexplicable, and I followed Xi Wei into the room in a daze.

The room was simple and tidy, with a screen painted with paintings in the center. Xi Wei went to push the screen away, and an old man sitting in a wheelchair with a withered complexion slowly appeared behind him.

Xi Zhan was right, he was indeed counting the days.

I thought for a while and called him, "Uncle."

Hearing my address, he raised his eyebrows and smiled and asked, "Why do you call me that?"

I was taken aback, never expecting him to ask me this question.

I politely explained: "I am Xi Zhan's girlfriend, and you are his father."

Seeing me mentioning Xi Zhan, he said with a slightly gloomy face, "Zhan'er's girlfriend."

I nodded, remembering the first time I met Chairman Gu, at that time he took the initiative to find him, and I was generous and comfortable when facing him, so I wouldn't be as nervous as I am now.

In the final analysis, Fu Xi and his assistants gave me too deep a warning, saying that the Xi family is so frightening. Now facing the former head of the Xi family, I will inevitably feel nervous.

He didn't mention Xi Zhan again, but beckoned me to come to him. I looked at Xi Wei with some hesitation, and the latter smiled kindly, "Miss Shi, the Patriarch wants to touch you."

touch me...

When I first met him, such behavior was not in line with the rules.

Although I thought so in my heart, I couldn't bear to see Xi Zhan's father's gentle eyes. I went to squat in front of him, and he raised his hand to gently touch my head. She said, "Sheng'er, this is the first time I've met you."

He was very gentle to me, and what he said was incomprehensible. I looked up at him in surprise, his rough palms gradually touched my cheeks, and began to trace my outline in detail.

For some reason, I didn't feel any discomfort in my heart, but was very calm and peaceful. After he touched the contours, he touched my ears. Gradually, turbid tears slowly left the corners of my eyes.

I was full of puzzlement, and when I was thinking about getting up, I heard him reminisce: "Sheng'er, I have only one child left at my age. I may not be a good father or husband in this life, but me and All men in the world are the same, they have the woman they love, the children and grandchildren they want, and the blood relatives they want."

I didn't understand what he meant, so I asked hesitantly, "What does uncle want to say?"

He smiled slightly and withdrew his palm. I stood up and heard him say: "You are Zhan'er's favorite child, and you will be the daughter-in-law of my Xi family in the future. As an elder, I hope you can be happy."

Xi Zhan's father even blessed me and Xi Zhan...

Don't they have their own appointed daughter-in-law?

I asked him, "What about Shino?"

Hasn't Sino been raised by them as the mistress?
Hearing this, he patiently explained: "I don't have the right to make decisions about marriage, and Zhan'er is that kind of independent man. Since he likes you, you are the daughter-in-law of the Xi family."

Will the always strict Xi family rules be so casual?
I don't believe it, but Xi Zhan's father said so!

I was full of confusion, Xi Wei suddenly handed me a document at this time, Xi Zhan's father explained: "Go ahead, this is beneficial to Zhan'er, after I die..."

When he said this, he suddenly stopped. The old man in front of him seemed to be on the verge of death in an instant, his face was ashen, but his eyes showed a sense of determination and a free and easy mind.

Seeing his condition, Xi Wei hurriedly stepped forward to take out the medicine and fed him two pills. After a long time, the old man regained consciousness and looked at me with bewildered eyes, "My child..."

I was startled, and heard him mournfully say, "I'm sorry for your mother."

He brought up my mother! !
Could it be that he knows who my mother is?

Shocked, I squatted down and asked, "Do you know her?"
