Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed Chapter 578 - 209 Empress Dowager Xia Furious: I Gave Birth

Seeing her precious daughter’s expression, Xia Qin’s brows furrowed slightly. "Is there a problem with Xia Zhijin’s family situation?" she asked.

Li Zixia quickly waved her hands. Bracing herself, she quietly explained, "Uh, no, not at all. It’s just... Zhijin has had a really hard life. Her parents passed away when she was very young, so she and her younger brother have been living with their maternal grandmother..."

As she listened, Xia Qin was stunned. This girl, Xia Zhijin, had truly been through a lot, losing her parents at such a young age.

Imdiately after, a torrent of anger and intense anxiety surged through her. This poor girl, orphaned at such a young age... It wouldn’t be a problem if Li Yuan were in a proper, serious relationship with her. Children from poor families mature early, after all. But the key issue is that my own damn son has two other girlfriends! If this poor girl, who has already lost so much, finds out the truth... what kind of foolish thing might she do?

Xia Qin trembled violently, not daring to think about it any further. Her family has already suffered so much. If she has to face this on top of everything else... what if she can’t handle it...?

Thinking about what her bastard son had done, Xia Qin couldn’t restrain the anger in her heart and began to curse again. She was truly terrified.

"Li Yuan, you bastard! You scoundrel! Are you really trying to anger your old mother to death? How dare you get involved with a girl in her situation! Have you no regard for the consequences at all?"

Seeing her mother’s rage, Li Zixia could only hurry to comfort her. "Mom, my brother is bringing Zhijin ho any minute now. Please, calm down and try to be happy."

Xia Qin finally began to calm down, letting out a cold snort. "Later, I’m going to have a good long talk with your brother and find out what exactly he thinks he’s doing. He really is trying to be the death of , but..."

Li Yuan had no idea that Empress Dowager Xia was fuming with anger and worry over him having multiple girlfriends.

At that mont, he was relaxed as he led Xia Zhijin by the hand out of the elevator and to his front door.

"Zhijin, I bought this gift earlier. It’s a set of gold jewelry. Here, you can give this to my mom."

Xia Zhijin took the gold jewelry gift box from Li Yuan. She seed to want to say sothing but hesitated, finally whispering, "Li Yuan, this doesn’t feel right. I wanted to prepare a gift for Auntie myself."

Li Yuan gently pinched Xia Zhijin’s cheek and said with a smile, "Don’t worry about it. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

"Mm!" Xia Zhijin humd softly, her mind already racing as she thought about what kind of gifts she should prepare for his parents, Li Yuan, and Li Zixia in the future.

The two arrived at the front door, and Li Yuan rang the doorbell. The door opened almost imdiately.

Xia Qin and Li Zixia appeared in the doorway.

Holding Xia Zhijin’s hand, Li Yuan greeted them with a smile. "Mom, Zixia, we’re back."

Xia Zhijin looked anxiously at the woman standing before her, who bore a striking resemblance to Li Yuan. Her heart leaped into her throat, and she felt extrely nervous and shy.

"Hello, Auntie!"

The mont Xia Qin laid eyes on Xia Zhijin, she was stunned. What a beautiful girl! She possessed a unique, tranquil air and seed so gentle, virtuous, and sensible.

"Zhijin, please, co in and sit down!"

Li Zixia made a playful face at Li Yuan before cheerfully rushing to Xia Zhijin’s side. She hugged her arm and greeted her warmly, "Zhijin, don’t just stand there, co on in! I haven’t seen you in days."

Holding Xia Zhijin’s small hand, Li Yuan smiled. "Just make yourself at ho. No need to be shy."

Looking both shy and nervous, Xia Zhijin followed them inside.
