723 Ah-Si Is Dead Mea
He gave Xiu a reassuring smile and shook his head. He could tell what was running through her mind and it bothered him. He didn't want her to think about any of it again.
Xiu didn't know why but it didn't make her feel any good. She already knew that once her Clara mom got wind of this incident, things were gonna get complicated. And she was right because Clara won't let this go without a fight. Even if she had to take someone down with her, Clara Cartwright would still fight till the end for her family.
As Xiu pushed everyone out to take rest in peace, Xin Xiaoli was the only one left behind. Seeing Xiu's pursed lips, he ruffled her hair lovingly as he said, "What are you worried about? You weren't even worried when you attacked her."
"At that time, I knew you won't stop me, " replied Xiu honestly."But at that time, I really didn't consider how this might affect your life. I'm so sorry!"
Xiao Li's eyes softened as he smiled at her, "Little sister!" Xiu looked into his eyes as he continued, "Now, I can rightfully call you little sister." Xiu pressed her lips together and nodded her head."So as my little sister, let me teach you something my dad always said to us when we were young." Xiu's brows knitted up inquisitively."He said, don't say sorry for things you feel are right. Until and unless your heart allows you, don't ever say apologize."
"Li bro, " Xiu called out softly.
Xiao Li chuckled at her, "This doesn't affect my life in any way. Even if does, I won't allow just anyone to insult my sister." He took a brief pause to caress her head, "So, don't overthink it. I'm absolutely fine."
Xiu thought about it before saying, "Bro, my Clara mom won't let this go. She is definitely gonna take Meihui to court. I don't wanna stop her and neither can I stop her."
Xiao Li laughed at her quietly, "Silly! Who is asking you to stop it? And do you think my dad or my Uncle Min is gonna let this go? Dream on! Although they both hate each other, they both are very similar in one aspect. They are both exceptionally protective of their people!" He sighed out, "Meihui had dug her grave from the moment she dared to raise her hand at you or push you. Now, no one can help her."
"Her dad is Ah-Xin's best friend, " reminded Xiu.
Xiao Li shook his head at her, "So? My dad would never let someone wrong his family member. He doesn't just see you as a niece but as a daughter. I think even Uncle Yi have realized by now that his friendship won't be able to save his daughter this time around."
"What about you?" asked Xiu curiously.
"What is your goal? What are you trying to achieve? I still don't get it, " said Xiu.
Xiao Li's eyes lowered before he poked her cheek and said, "Even though you've come back safe, I still won't let people go easily. Someone has to pay the price for hurting my sister."
"What?"
"Nothing, " he pinched her nose."You don't think at all. Just take care of yourself. And you better take care of my niece/nephew."
Xiu puffed up her cheeks, "Why do I feel like all of you are more worried about this kid than me?"
"No, we are more worried about you." He rubbed her head and left the room.
As soon as he came out, he could see the Jing family and Xin family engrossed in talking. Just because they had Xiu in common, they looked like they had known each other for years. But seeing his little brother hiding far away from Jing family, he laughed out.
Just as Xiao Li placed a hand on Ah-Si's shoulder who was hiding in a corner, Ah-Si flinched in shock. Seeing it was his brother, he heaved a sigh of relief, "Bro, stop scaring me. My heart is already in my throat."
"Why?" asked Xiao Li in amusement and he leaned against the wall.
"Why? Obviously, because my Nora's parents are over there, " replied Ah-Si."Her dad is scary and I heard her mom hates me. I don't know what to do? My future and my relationship are looking bleak."
Xiao Li laughed at his brother, "Relax! I have a way to solve it."
"How?"
"Go and meet them, " said Xiao Li.
"So that they beat me right here? Didn't you hear? Just like Xiu's bat, even Mr. Jing has his own bat. I don't think I'll survive another beating." Xiao Li's laughter was loud."Bro, are you enjoying my misfortune?"
"Little brother, don't you think the misfortunate one here is me?" Ah-Si stopped and looked straight at his brother.
"Bro, are you okay?"
Before he could answer, an arm wrapped around Xiao Li's neck and came to the excited voice of Ying, "Yo, what's up bestie? Are you okay? How is your first day being married? Is it fun?"
Xiao Li's lips twitched as he knocked on her head, "Why don't you try getting married? Maybe you'll figure out whether it's fun or not."
"Hmm... Good idea, " replied Ying taking Xiao Li by surprise.
"Are you for real?"
"Of course!" said Ying."But right now, we are discussing you. How are you feeling?"
Unexpectedly, Xiao Li rubbed her head and said, "I feel great! Today is one of the best days of my life."free𝘄e𝘣nov𝒆l - 🅽🅽novel
"Really?" Ying sounded skeptical.
Xiao Li nodded as he looked at his brother, "Ask him, isn't it the best day of our life?"
Ah-Si instantly nodded along, "Yes, yes! It's a historic day! Our family is finally complete. We got our sister back!"
"Huh? Xiulin is alive?" Xiao Li smacked her head and she glared at him."What? That's the only sister you have."
"No, we have another sister! Our Uncle Min's daughter. Isn't that our sister?"
"Oh..." That was all Ying said."Congrats then. Xiu is now a Xin."
Ah-Si laughed, "Yes! She is Auntie Huan and Uncle Min's daughter. Do you realize how big that is?"
"I think I know how big this is, " replied Ying."She is not only the only daughter of the head of the Xin family, she is also the heiress of a fortune! It's truly the case of the lost princess coming home!"
"You sound creepy!" said Xiao Li.
"And you both seem suspicious, " replied Ying."What were you both whispering here?"
"Ah-Si is scared of saying hi to his future in-laws."
"Bro!"
"What? Did I say something wrong?"
Ying tutted at Ah-Si, "What's the point of this love that isn't even making you courageous to stand before your future in-laws?"
"You both are not helping it at all!" saying that Ah-Si huffed and distanced himself from them.
"He is still cute. I can't believe he has a daughter."
Xiao Li also agreed, "I also can't believe." He pressed his lips together and added, "I still haven't become used to being an uncle and now, I'm the way to become an uncle again."
"What? Nora is pregnant again? This time Ah-Si is sure dead meat!"
Xiao Li hit her arm saying, "Idiot! I'm talking about Xiu. It's Xiu who is pregnant."
"She is what?!" exclaimed Ying getting everyone's attention on herself."I'm the last one to know this?!"
Xiao Li put his hand over her mouth and gave the elders an apologetic smile saying, "She is a little too excited. You guys continue." With that, he pulled her aside and went on, "Stop screaming! Everyone just got to know it."
"Oh... That makes me feel better, " said Ying while Xiao Li conveniently hid the fact that he knew it even before everyone. If he spilled the beans, he knew Ying was gonna hop around like a monkey. It was better to not say it for now.
"Where is your boyfriend?" he asked.
"Where is your wife?" she retorted.
Xiao Li glared at her, "You really wanna continue this discussion?" Ying looked at his expressions and instinctively shook her head."Then shut up!"
"I'm gonna shut up but..." she pointed behind him as she went on, "Your mother-in-law might not want to stay quiet."
Xin Xiaoli turned his head with a frown and his frown deepened as soon as he saw Zhao Wei coming towards him.
