The Cannon Fodder and Her Mr. Right

Chapter 752: Chapter 752: The Battle of the Three Kingdoms

Old Madam Xie was puzzled. Her son lied to his mother-in-law. What did this have to do with her? Why was she afraid of spilling the beans?

“How did you do it?” she asked.

Xie Xize cleared his throat. Actually, it’s nothing. It’s just a white lie, so …”

“So?” Old Madam Xie waited for her son’s answer.

Xie Xize hesitated for a second before calmly replying, “”I told my mother-in-law that it was because of you … I’m critically ill. I want to bring Yang Yang and the spicy sticks back to Xia City.”

Old Madam Xie was speechless.

Why am I in critical condition? I …

It was a taboo for old people to be told that they were about to die.

Old Madam Xie was in a very bad mood.

She was furious and wanted to beat her son up.

“You…”

Xie Xize said, ” Mom, it’s an emergency. You know that something happened to my mother-in-law’s family at that time. My father-in-law had just passed away. If she knew that Yang Yang had been unconscious for many days, she would definitely be anxious. She might not be able to take it for a while, so…I had no choice but to come up with such an excuse.”

The corners of Old Madam Xie’s mouth twitched.

Xie Xize was afraid that Old Madam Xie would be angry, so he quickly explained,”You don’t know, but before I found Yang Yang and her son, it was all thanks to my father-in-law and mother-in-law. If it weren’t for them, Yang Yang wouldn’t have been able to raise the Spicy Strips alone. It was them who gave the Spicy Strips a home. I won’t be able to repay their kindness in my lifetime, Mom…”

After a while, Old Madam Xie sighed.

“Alright, I understand. The next time I see my in-law, I’ll tell her that God bless me, I’ve recovered from such a serious illness, but I still have to go to the hospital for regular checkups…Is that enough?”

“You don’t have to say it specifically. If mother-in-law asks, just don’t let it slip.”

Old Madam Xie gritted her teeth. Remember to bring Spicy Strips back often.”

“Don’t worry, I will.”

“If it weren’t for my grandson’s sake, you see how I’d deal with you.” Old Madam Xie gritted her teeth.

“Thank you, Mom,” Xie Xize smiled.

After hanging up the phone, Old Madam Xie said angrily, “”Are you really my son?”

“This …” You have to ask yourself if you’re related or not. What’s wrong? He doesn’t want us to go over?”

Old Madam Xie snorted. He wants to bring back Spicy Strips.”

When Old Master Xie heard that, he heaved a sigh of relief and waved his hand.”Aiya, it’s already not bad for Old Fifth to be able to do this. This kid has been colder than others since he was young. I thought that if we didn’t go over, he wouldn’t have brought the Spicy Strips back. He even knew to bring his son home to see us. Not bad, not bad. Don’t have such high expectations of him…”

Old Madam Xie chuckled. She didn’t say that he was critically ill.

“Oh, right. How could I forget to ask? Why didn’t he say that you were critically ill? Why did he say that I was critically ill?”

“Huh?” Old Master Xie was surprised. Critically ill? When did you become critically ill? Haven’t you always been in good health? Why don’t you go to the hospital?”

Old Madam Xie looked at him from head to toe. “”No, I have to tell him when he comes. The next time he wants to lie, he has to say it to you. He can’t say it to me anymore.”

“Huh?” Wait a moment, tell me clearly, what happened?”
