| ← Ch.067 | Ch.069 → |
When Xinyi heard Liwei's words, she was stunned. ' Even if he was protecting that bi*ch, but how could.. how could he say, that Xie Rong can't talk to Xie Ming like Xinyi?'
' Was he saying that dad can talk to me like that but not Ming? Is that what, he was implying?'
She was stunned. She doesn't know what to say. She always thought she has a special spot in Liwei's heart but how could he say something like this. How could he compare her to that bi*ch.
On the other hand, Xie Rouxi has similar reactions. She never expected that he would react this way. In the past, he never really cared about them and Xie Ming. They tried to create misunderstandings between Xie Ming and him. Their target was Xie Ming. Because she was easy to manipulate and Xinyi will play her white flower card in front of him. But why was he behaving so oddly? ' Does he know something?' A sudden realization hit her. She looked at Xie Ming and then Xinyi.
'Did Xie Ming, remember everything?' She was flustered. She knows that when Xie Ming woke up, she has forgotten her memories, and now she has gotten her memories, but she doesn't remember what happened to her, that night, when she fell into the pool. She doesn't remember the day of her accident.
So, it's should not be the case. I must be overthinking. ' She calmed herself thinking like this. He was just triggered by Xie Rong's words. After all, he respects women and can't hear anything bad about them. Tha's why he was behaving like this. ' Yes, this must be it. '
Xie Rong was stunned to see Liwei's dangerous look. He just stared at him, don't know what to do, so he tried to mend the situation.
" Mr. Jin, you misunderstood me. How could I insult my daughter. I was just trying to teach her, to not be greedy" he said, cautiously. He then looked at Ming and said in low voice, " I... I am sorry, I shouldn't have said those words." He said while hiding his anger behind his words.
Liwei glared at him. he was ready to beat him, but Ming stopped him, holding his hand. She held his hand and said, " Liwei, stop it. Dad doesn't mean, what he said. Right, dad?" As she completed her words, she turned towards Xie Rong and asked him.
Xie Rong looked at her and cursed her inwardly. Then he turned to Liwei and said while smiling, " Yes... Yess. I didn't mean to say that." He said while hiding his fear and smiled awkwardly.
Liwei looked at Ming and she blinked at him to assure him, that she is fine. She was used to hearing these kinds of things at the palace, now she doesn't even get upset over these things. And moreover, Xie Rong has said nothing, in compared to what she had faced in the palace.
Then Liwei calmed down a little. Xie Rouxi took the opportunity to change the topic, she said to Ming, " Ming, it's getting late. Let's have dinner now. I have made all your favorite dishes."She said with a smile. She knows, that only Ming can change the situation. So she has to talk to that bi*ch.
Ming looked at her as she understood her trick. But she didn't say anything because she knows if she dragged this topic anymore, Liwei will kill this Xie family today. It's better not to provoke him anymore.
Ming looked at Xie Rouxi and sneered inwardly, " Huh. My favorite dishes. does she even know what Xie Ming likes to eat."
Then she turned to Liwei, " Let's go, darling. Dinner is getting cold." She said with a smile.
Hearing word, ' darling' he also smiled and nodded.
Then they went to the dining table and sat at their seats. Xinyi was sitting opposite to Liwei.
She was fuming in anger as she was not the girl sitting beside him. She should be the one calling him darling, but why this bi*ch got everything.
Servants served the dishes. It was all western food, as Xinyi knows that Liwei likes western food. So they had prepared western food.
Seeing the dishes, Liwei looked at Ming. Because after waking up from the coma, she liked Chinese cuisine more than Western.
Xie Ming looked at him back, she smiled. She understood that he was worried about her, but it's not that she can't eat western food. It just that, she was more used to eat Chinese food. And after coming to the modern world, when she tried western food she liked it a lot. She looked at the dishes and started salivating. 'She gonna eat everything. '
Xinyi brought red wine and served it to Liwei. When she poured him wine, he looked up at her and she smiled. She said, " I know today, we had many misunderstandings but let's just forget everything and make a toast to sister for waking up from the coma." As she said that, she looked at Ming, trying to smile at her. She doesn't want to ruin her image just because of her father's stupid behavior.
Liwei looked at her with cold eyes, he picked the class that she poured and passed it to Ming. Ming also got confused and blinked at him, " You should also drink, after all, she wanted to make a toast to you." he said that to Ming, seeing her confusion.
Then he looked at Xinyi, who was looking at him with an awkward smile. He took the bottle of wine from her and passed it to Ming, " Pour me some" he said that and give her an empty glass. Ming looked at him and then Xinyi, who was feeling awkward.
Ming chuckled, ' This man sure knows how to annoy people'.
She poured him wine and after that everyone filled their glasses with wine. The dinner went peacefully, as nobody talked. Because the Xie family was scared of Liwei, and Liwei and Ming weren't interested in talking with them. They just have their fills and showed PDA in between the meals, by serving each other with food and with their sweet talk.
On the other hand, the Xie family was getting roasted with anger. They hate to see them together happy. Xie family didn't eat anything especially Xinyi, on the other hand, Ming eats most of the food on the table. She was full. She was satisfied with the dinner. 'The food tastes even better when you see the defeated faces of your enemies. '
Besides food, she had also drunk too much. It's the first time, she had drank red wine. She had white wine before at Jin Villa, but she liked red wine more. Its sweet and sour taste matched her taste buds. She drank around 4-5 glasses of it when Liwei stopped her. She wanted to drink more but he snatched the glass from her.
In her past life, she never had tasted the alcohol, as it was immoral for a woman to have alcohol. These kinds of things were only for men. In ancient times, woman was made to serve alcohol but drinking it, is like a sin for them. And the women who drink can be seen in, only in brothel.
But after coming to the modern world, she realized that here drinking is normal for women. She thought that women in the modern world are more free and independent. They can make their choices, work and do what they want. She thought, how society changes with time. And she was glad to see this change with her own eyes.
This is a rare opportunity, that she had. She thought that it's God's gift to her, that she was able to get a new life in a new world. Truthfully speaking, she was tired of the hypocrisy in the palace and the ancient society. Zhao Ming was broad-minded from her time and she was also brought up in the family where women and men were treated equally but when she went to Palace she realized that reality is different, from what she had learned.
