Ye Junqingâs heart leapt, as if his worst fear had come true: âTell her that your dad canât do without someone here.â
Ye Xingguang was also quite anxious, no girl would not be scared of meeting their in-laws for the first time, especially at such a critical moment, hearing Ye Junqingâs response, she breathed a sigh of relief.
But after responding, Yi Yujian sent another message.
Ye Xingguangâs heartbeat thundered: âMy sister-in-law said, your mom called her and explicitly asked me to go to the airport tomorrow.â
Ye Junqing was fuming, his father had called him earlier to ask him to bring her along to the airport the next day, he had declined, but his mom got his sister-in-law to extend the invitation again. Ye Junqing threw out a question: âWho is more important, your dad or your mother-in-law?â
Ye Xingguang: ââ¦â
How was she supposed to answer that question?
Of course, she could only say: âBoth are equally important.â
Ye Junqing looked up at her, seeing that she didnât catch the hint, he threw out another tough question: âMy parents are quite difficult to get along with, they are very picky when it comes to daughters-in-law, you need to be mentally prepared.â
Ye Xingguang, who was already anxious, was startled and shrank back. She thought she was quite likable, but now that the Yeâs family was in an uproar, even if she was likable, she might not be able to win over her in-laws at this time.
âSo what should we do? Should I tell my sister-in-law that I really canât leave?â
âYeah.â Ye Junqingâs tone relaxed a bit.
But then Yi Yujian sent another message, and Ye Xingguang took a look with a bitter face: âMy sister-in-law said, my mother-in-law wants to see me. If I donât go, it will leave a bad impression on my in-laws. If I can spare the time, I should try to spare it.â
Ye Junqingâs voice was filled with anger: âTell her that there is absolutely no time. Your dad just came out of a critical condition; he canât leave his daughter now. My parents will understand.â
Ye Xingguang followed Ye Junqingâs words and sent them over, then Yi Yujian responded.
Ye Xingguang said: âMy sister-in-law said okay.â
Ye Junqingâs face relaxed a little.
But then, Yi Yujian sent another message right after.
âMy sister-in-law said she will visit my dad at the hospital with my in-laws tomorrow. She asked me to tell her the address of the hospital. Or should I just go to the airport? I donât want to let your parents meet my parents right now.â
What if his parents come to the hospital and ask her to back out on their own to solve the troubles of the Yeâs family, and it ends up upsetting her parents?
Ye Xingguang didnât want to take that risk, and she didnât want her parents to know that her official relationship with Ye Junqing was on the brink of collapse.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ye Junqing: ââ¦â
After Ye Xingguang returned to her fatherâs ward, Ye Junqing deliberated for a while, then called his father, Ye Baixiu. If Ye Xingguang couldnât handle this herself, then he would refuse for her.
Ye Baixiu was frustrated on the phone: âIs it this difficult for your mother and I to meet your girlfriend? Are we tigers that could eat her up?â
Yes, they were tigers. If they scared away his little mermaid, where would he go to find her again in this vast ocean?
Ye Junqing opened the door to the villaâs balcony, standing in the night saying: âItâs not that we canât meet, itâs just not the right time. Her father is critically ill and has to have a scan tomorrow afternoon. She canât leave at all.â
âIs it that she canât leave, or she doesnât want to meet? Donât play tricks on me, bring her tomorrow. I want to see what kind of girl it is that youâre going to such lengths to protect. If you donât bring her, donât bother showing up in front of me again. I will disown you as my son!â
The stern and icy voice was especially angry. If his son were in front of him right now, Ye Baixiu would probably pick up a stick and hit him!
