Xia Liu walked towards his ho with a grim expression.
When he returned ho, he found Tong Dawei showing off his knowledge as if he were very cultured. Mrs. Xia listened sincerely, wanting to see Tong Dawei's character and his usual ways of handling things.
Xia Zhu, however, was holding her phone, texting Ye Hao, who only replied with "I'm fine," without any extra words.
Xia Zhu sat on the sofa, looking lost, seemingly oblivious to Tong Dawei's solo performance.
"Dawei, Dawei, what happened next?" Mrs. Xia asked eagerly, as if addicted to the story.
"Then..."
"Alright, alright, just this little thing and you're talking forever, it's getting late, go back!" Xia Liu saw Tong Dawei wanted to keep rambling and directly waved his hand to interrupt.
Tong Dawei's expression turned slightly dark upon Xia Liu's lack of decorum, but he still maintained a cheerful deanor on the surface.
Tong Dawei pretended to check his watch, it was half-past nine. He smiled and said, "It seems it's getting late, so let's stop here for today. Xia Liu, I'm sorry for bothering again today. Madam, I'll be leaving now."
Tong Dawei spoke politely without showing an unpleasant expression despite Xia Liu's rudeness, as if he were a man without emotions.
In truth, his expression was fully captured by Xia Liu's eyes. Xia Liu, being in high positions on Heaven-Filling Heroic Spirit Island, often had to guess the thoughts of his subordinates, so he had the skill to notice such nuances.
"Leaving?" Mrs. Xia asked as if she hadn't heard enough.
"Hehe, it's late, I'll co to play again tomorrow! Goodbye, Xia Zhu, I'm leaving." Tong Dawei bid farewell one by one and then left Xia Zhu's ho.
After Tong Dawei left, Mrs. Xia was about to scold Xia Liu for being so rude, but Xia Liu spoke faster: "Why do you have to act like this?"
Xia Zhu also looked up at her mother.
Seeing Xia Liu's gloomy face and direct tone, Mrs. Xia snorted angrily and replied, "Why should I act according to your wishes?"
"Is it my sister seeking happiness, or you seeking happiness? Have you really thought it through? How long will you keep interfering? Who gives you health, who gives you joy, who gives us a family?" Xia Liu questioned directly.
"Hmph! My daughter's happiness is naturally guarded by . I'm concerned for my daughter, what do you understand? As for giving health, although he is my lifesaver, I won't allow him to treat my daughter's happiness as repaynt." Mrs. Xia scoffed.
"You, being almost reborn, why is your mindset so childish? Has brother-in-law asked for repaynt from you? Has brother-in-law ever said he wants to play with sister's happiness?" Xia Liu was extrely disappointed with his mother.
"No, but by his actions, he's treating my daughter's happiness like a ga. He's a man who does nothing but idle around and disappear. What's so good about such a man?" Mrs. Xia scoffed.
"Which eye of yours sees brother-in-law idling around? Which eye sees him playing disappearing acts? Everything he's done is beyond ordinary capabilities; he's a thousand tis better than that Tong Dawei you're introducing. You simply fail to appreciate a son-in-law like brother-in-law due to your inability to see true talent." Xia Liu said coldly.
"Then tell , what's so good about him, what makes him worthy of your praise? Don't be fooled by him, maybe he's well-off and has lots of money, hiring you half-baked graduate students for research. Don't make talk about you; you're rely capable of conducting so research?" Mrs. Xia retorted, asserting her parental authority.
"What he's done can scare you; his deeds laid on the table can make a powerful nation like the United States issue a hunt for him. He led a mass movent and restored the dignity of Huaxia people. If he has so much money, that's because he earned it himself. As for ! Yes, I'm a half-baked graduate student, but do you know how much I've learned under his guidance? You don't understand; those things are like technology worth a fortune." Xia Liu said coldly, feeling his mother's vision becoming increasingly short-sighted and adding that she did not even try to understand Ye Hao before making such appallingly poor judgnts.
"Haha, he taught you how to boast, huh?" Mrs. Xia laughed hearing Xia Liu's words.
"Boasting? Well, why don't you boast for and see if you can bring in over ten thousand each month?" Xia Liu said with a harsh tone.
"Don't co at with your one hundred thousand dollars talk. You claim to have assets worth millions, where are they? Just based on what can make you have assets worth a million; you've been brainwashed, haven't you?" Mrs. Xia snorted.
"Do you really want to know? Fine, I'll tell you thoroughly what kind of person he is, but I hope you won't regret after listening." Xia Liu said heatedly.
"Don't say it, the more people know, the more danger there is; the country won't protect them." Xia Zhu quickly grabbed Xia Liu's arm to prevent him from speaking.
"Hmph! If I don't say, she will forever view people with her partial perspective, without any basis, without any understanding, and yet wants to condemn soone completely. That's your happiness, do you realize? When brother-in-law left, he didn't say a word; he's ashad, he has matters to handle, he doesn't dare say he's only worthy of you for a lifeti. He's not Tong Dawei, who only knows romance every day, idling around delivering flowers to the woman's family." Xia Liu shouted, hoping his sister would be strong and fight for her excitent.
Also hoping Xia Zhu would not be embarrassed to et Ye Hao because of their mother, which is the last thing Xia Liu wishes to see.
"Then you tell , what grand task is he busy with that he remains silent even during holidays?" Mrs. Xia asked coldly.
"Here, take a picture and grasp it yourself." After speaking, Xia Liu took out a photograph of over a dozen people from his briefcase.
Everyone in the photo exuded a robust aura, and even by just looking at the photo, they could feel the formidable aura emanating from the dozen individuals in it.
"What's this?" Mrs. Xia asked, looking at the photo.
"Look, look closely, scrutinize the leader; if you can't see it, you're truly blind." Xia Liu finished speaking and entered his room, shutting the door forcefully.
Mrs. Xia heard Xia Liu's words and quietly looked at the photo in her hands. As she earnestly observed the leader's eyes, she was suddenly stunned.
This... aren't these Ye Hao's eyes? The deanor is exactly like Ye Hao's!
After a long while, Mrs. Xia looked at Xia Zhu and asked, "Is it that boy Ye Hao?"
Xia Zhu's eyes welled with tears, but she didn't speak.
"Is it him?" Mrs. Xia asked again.
"Yes!"
Mrs. Xia was left speechless, holding the photo quietly sitting... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welco to visit Qidian (qidian) to vote for recomndations or monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users please go to m.qidian to read.)
