In the evening, they went to a seafood restaurant. Xue Lin loves seafood and all her relatives know it. She wanted to sit on her most favorite spot but she halted.
"Of course…" She knew it. Deep down she had a feeling this might happen. She just wanted to believe her youngest brother-in-law, that"s all.
A group of people was sitting together. Three faces she knew very well. Her father, mother, and sister. The other three people; she didn"t recognize them. But seeing a middle-aged couple and their son, it wasn"t hard to guess what was going on.
As everyone looked at her, Xue Lin still stood there. She couldn"t decide whether she should leave or stay. Her brother-in-law looked at her. He smiled and said, "What? Did we give you a pleasant surprise?"
Xue Lin slowly turned to face him. Her eyes were as calm as the ocean. She realized that she was having trouble breathing so she took some deep breaths. Her hands were trembling. She clenched her fists to stop her hands from shaking.
Tonight, she doesn"t know what she will do.
She sat down with the rest and blankly looked at the three known faces. They looked rich. The middle-aged man had a beard and he wore a blue shirt and a white coat. He had a polite look on his face. The middle-aged woman wore a knee-length full-sleeved brown c.o.c.ktail dress. She wore expensive diamond jewelry and heavy makeup. She had a haughty expression as though she was looking down at Xue Lin and her modest family. And then their son, he was wearing a black shirt and black pants. The first three b.u.t.tons of the shirt were unb.u.t.toned. He leaned back and eyed at Fa Jingfei, Xue Lin"s sister.
Xue Lin didn"t bother to greet them since she didn"t like them from the start. She got a bad vibe from them. In her eyes, that old man looked like a pervert, the old woman looked like a woman who slept around and their son looked like a playboy.
Fa Xiaodan introduced his daughter in a friendly manner, "This is my youngest daughter I"ve been talking about. She is studying abroad."
The middle-aged man looked at Xue Lin. He tried to smile and said, "I"m the Ge Family"s Ge Chuan Li. That"s my wife Bai Yue and my youngest son Ge Junjie. It"s a pleasure to finally meet you."
Xue Lin said, "Likewise." Her expression said otherwise.
Bai Yue didn"t like Xue Lin"s att.i.tude. She said, "You girl! How do you speak to your elders? Haven"t your parents taught you anything?"
Fa Xiaodan and Li Lifen flinched. They looked at their youngest daughter. Li Lifen glared at her and tried to signal her but Xue Lin didn"t bother looking at her. "My parents taught me many things but I"m not planning to follow their path."
"Dear, how can you choose an insolent girl for my one and only son?" Bai Yue looked at her husband feeling wronged.
Xue Lin paused. "Didn"t you just say this guy is your youngest son? How can he be your only son?"
Bai Yue flinched. She glared at Xue Lin but her glare was wasted. It didn"t make Xue Lin uncomfortable.
Ge Chuan Li coughed and said, "My eldest son is from the first wife. She died of an illness."
"Oh! I"m sorry to hear that. That must be hard for you." Li Lifen covered her mouth showing sadness.
"Hhh." Bai Yue"s lips twisted.
Xue Lin narrowed her eyes. She could already feel what was going on. No wonder she felt something bad from them the moment she landed her eyes on them.
Ge Chuan Li shook his hands. "Please don"t worry Mrs. Fa. I"m happy with my family."
"Of course, you are. We can tell just by looking at you. You have such an accomplished son." Li Lifen was full of praise.
Xue Lin looked at her mother and thought, "Why is she wagging her tail at them?"
"He has to be. I"m the one who raised him." Bai Yue proudly said.
Xue Lin felt like vomiting over her face. She couldn"t help but think, "This family is a match made in heaven."
Since the food was served. Everyone started to eat. Xue Lin lost her appet.i.te the moment she saw them in the restaurant.
