Chapter 1227  [Bonus chapter] Good Mood

On the other hand, when Xia Songbei went back to the private room where they had been dining, he looked visibly relaxed and happy. His wife didn’t notice but Xia Hao did notice this change in his father and he did have some guesses regarding this change in his father’s mood.

“Did your brother change his number again?” asked Lin Qiao as she looked at her son.

Xia Hao looked back at his mother and shook his head, “No, he didn’t.”

“Then why am I not able to reach him?” she asked. “Did he block me?”

Xia Hao lowered his head, not answering but that possibility was very high. Who asked Lin Qiao to always call Xia Zhao to talk about things he didn’t want to hear?

“Songbei, give me your phone, I’ll try again,” said Lin Qiao.

Xia Songbei didn’t say anything but he still passed his phone to her. Lin Qiao called Xia Zhao. The phone was ringing but Xia Zhao still didn’t take the call.

“Why is he so stubborn?” asked Lin Qiao. “This is all because of your parents.”

Xia Songbei’s eyes became sharp as he looked at her with a clear warning. “I told you a million times, don’t talk about my parents.”

Lin Qiao was slightly taken aback seeing his expression and chose to stop talking about it. She also knew that usually, Xia Songbei would indulge but once the matter involved his parents, he’d always become cruel. He never cared about her feelings at that time.

“Also, Zhao is not a kid. He is already in his forties. He doesn’t need his mother to keep track of him all the time. He can make his decisions and he can do it very well.” 𝑜𝑣𝑙𝒩xt.𝑐𝐎𝑚

“I know he is in his forties. Why else I’m in a hurry? As a mother, I want to see him settle down. I called An Ran here today so that they can sit down together and have dinner,” said Lin Qiao. “I don’t know what I did wrong. Aren’t I just thinking about him?”

“He doesn’t need you to think about him,” said Xia Songbei. “I told you many times. Leave him alone. He can do whatever he wants.”

Xia Hao silently drank wine as he was very used to this scene. It was always like this when matters involved his elder brother. His mother wanted to dictate his brother’s life and his father would never let that happen. This contradiction had long been between them. He didn’t know if Xia Zhao knew about it or not.

But one thing he knew for sure, if Xia Zhao did come here today then it’d have been another battle considering this was a disguised blind date for his brother. And even if Xia Zhao was interested in dating, he’d never be with a person chosen by their mother. Although Xia Hao didn’t understand Xia Zhao’s strange attitude towards their mother, he was sure that Xia Zhao would never lower his head in front of Lin Qiao.

 “Hao, you tell your father. Did I do something wrong?”

When Lin Qiao turned the direction of fire towards him, Xia Hao was taken aback and smiled awkwardly at her, “Mom, I don’t think dad would listen to me. It’s between you two. Besides, dad always tells me to stay out of your matters. So, I can’t comment.”

“Why don’t you just say that you’re on your father’s side?” Lin Qiao was very dissatisfied with her son’s answer. She wanted him to stand on her side but Xia Hao was unmoved as always. He just won’t take sides. She sighed and looked at the woman called, An Ran whom she had called over today for dinner. “Ranran, Auntie is really sorry. Zhao is as stubborn as always. But you don’t have to worry. You’re still the daughter-in-law I chose.”

“Lin Qiao!” Xia Songbei raised his voice. “You better stop right there.”

Even An Ran was shocked to see Xia Songbei’s reaction much less Lin Qiao. After all, An Ran had been going to the Xia family house since she was young but she had never seen Xia Songbei speaking like this to Lin Qiao. In fact, An Ran had always been envious of how much Xia Songbei always respected Lin Qiao and doted on her.

Now, that he was suddenly angry, she couldn’t get used to it.

“An Ran,” Xia Songbei spoke to her directly. “You should be very clear about Zhao’s attitude towards you. I don’t need to tell you that didn’t like her? She liked him so much. All these years she had loved him. How could he still not look back at her? What was so wrong it’s impossible between the two of you. It doesn’t matter how much or how long you’ve liked him for. Because he doesn’t like you and he never will. He made it clear to you on more than one occasion. It isn’t your first ‘blind date’ organized by my wife. But did it ever work? Why are you so persistent when you know the end result?”

 An Ran clenched her fists and wanted to shout that she wasn’t reconciled with that result. How could she accept that Xia Zhao didn’t like her? She liked him so much. All these years she had loved him. How could he still not look back at her? What was so wrong with her that he wouldn’t even spare her a glance? She wasn’t willing to accept it at all!

Now, he wasn’t just the person she liked but he had long become her obsession!

“I’m leaving now,” said Xia Songbei. “Hao, take your mom back home later.”

“Yes, dad.”

With that, Xia Songbei didn’t wait for anyone to say anything and left directly. It was raining when he came out but he didn’t care at all. He took out a cigarette but before he could light it up, Mu Chenyan’s words rang in his mind. He breathed out helplessly and threw the cigarette away.

However, just thinking about seeing Mu Chenyan and Xia Zhao together, he had calmed down a lot. And the earlier argument was all forgotten now. He didn’t want to ruin his mood. He was very happy just thinking about Mu Chenyan being with Xia Zhao. How could he let anything else ruin this good mood?
