Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1822: Chapter 1338: Can’t I Go?

After all, young people are most prone to acting impulsively, and it’s not impossible that Feng Lu took Xiao Jin as a substitute when she couldn’t be with Xiao Shen.

Elder Xi’s thoughts were quite active at the moment, and he couldn’t help but imagine the stories between Feng Lu and the Xiao family brothers like a young person.

”Although I don’t know much about Comrade Kang and her husband, I do know that they are very cultured. Naturally, I believe what you said. Having parents like them is a blessing for their children. I also believe that under Comrade Kang and her husband’s guidance, their children will, as you said, become the pillars of the nation.”

Father Xiao spoke sincerely.

Upon hearing this, Elder Xi’s eyes flashed with satisfaction.

It’s not that he was meddling; he just didn’t want to see a good family, a good child, affected by some unforeseen action of the Xiao family.

”You are a person of understanding, able to see things clearly. There is absolutely no harm, regardless of whom it concerns.”

Father Xiao nodded with a smile after hearing Elder Xi’s words: ”You’re right.”

...

More than ten minutes later, Father Xiao bid Elder Xi farewell and returned to the Xiao family.

”You and the eldest are hiding something from me.”

Mrs. Xiao was sitting in the living room, and as soon as she saw Father Xiao walk in, she said it immediately.

She wasn’t asking; she was stating it.

”What makes you say that?”

Standing in the middle of the living room, Father Xiao looked towards Mrs. Xiao.

”Not long after you left for the Xi family, the eldest called. He started saying he had good news, but upon learning you weren’t home, he instantly brushed me off. I don’t believe there isn’t something fishy going on.”

If it was good news, there was no reason not to let her know.

”You’re overthinking this.”

Father Xiao said lightly, then headed towards the study. Seeing this, Mrs. Xiao got up and followed.

”The eldest wants you to call him back. You should do it now.”

Mrs. Xiao followed him into the study and closed the door casually, staring at Father Xiao, indicating that she would wait for him to make the call in her presence, and she wouldn’t leave.

”You...”

Father Xiao felt a headache, unsure of how to deal with Mrs. Xiao.

”Old Xiao, we’ve been husband and wife for so long. What could be so secretive that you and the eldest need to hide it from me?”

Mrs. Xiao’s mood was noticeably low; she said, ”We are family. Shouldn’t we talk things over and solve them? Do you two think I would be a hindrance?”

Seeing Mrs. Xiao’s mood was off, Father Xiao sighed and sat on the chair behind the desk: ”You may sit as well.”

Hearing this, Mrs. Xiao sat on the nearby sofa. She knew that Father Xiao was about to reveal what had been kept from her.

”You must promise not to get agitated after listening and definitely not do anything behind my back.”

Father Xiao said sternly, locking eyes with Mrs. Xiao: ”If you can’t do that, it might lead to changes in the eldest’s marriage and affect another family, including an exceptional child.”

”Is it that serious?”

Mrs. Xiao’s expression became serious.

Father Xiao nodded.

Mrs. Xiao: ”Go ahead, I promise to listen to you.”

”Sure?”

Father Xiao asked.

Mrs. Xiao glared at him: ”We’ve been married for years. Don’t you trust me?”

”It’s not that I don’t trust you, but I’m worried that once I reveal it, you might impulsively forget all my words.”

Father Xiao said this, but still proceeded to explain the matter between Xiao Jin and Feng Lu. After hearing his words, Mrs. Xiao was stunned momentarily. Coming back to her senses, she looked fixedly at Father Xiao and asked: ”Are you implying that the child Feng Lu had in her first marriage is our eldest’s?”

Mrs. Xiao was filled with shock. Seeing Father Xiao nod, she continued: ”Feng Lu was emotionally devastated because our second child went to the countryside with that Qin family girl, drank too much, and ended up in bed with our eldest. Then she found herself pregnant and married her first husband with the child in her belly. Is that what happened?”

Father Xiao replied with an ”Hmm.”

”How could she do this?”

Mrs. Xiao said angrily: ”She liked our second child but ended up in bed with our eldest. Since she was pregnant with our eldest’s child, why didn’t she come to us and clarify the situation, instead of marrying another man with the child? What did she take our eldest for?”

Father Xiao remained silent.

Mrs. Xiao said through gritted teeth: ”Was the eldest’s transfer abroad related to this incident with Feng Lu?”

Father Xiao: ”I only heard about it from him later.”

Mrs. Xiao: ”When did you two find out that Feng Lu’s first child was the eldest’s?”
