Chapter 32 - Acceptance

With the light sound of the lock, Liang Jia and Liang Wenrui both stopped and looked towards the door.

It was a tall and straight figure of Zhou Xing Chen.

"Hmph," Liang Wenrui let out a heavy snort and coldly said, "You still know how to come back. That wild woman didn't stick to you? "

Zhou Xing Chen frowned. "That's my fiancee." As he spoke, he glanced lightly at Liang Jia. Liang Jia, on the other hand, had no expression on her face, as if he, Zhou Xing Chen, did not exist.

He was a little irritated and added, "I'll bring Qin'er back tomorrow."

"No way!" Liang Wenrui slammed his chopsticks on the table. "The only daughter-in-law I admit to being is Liang Jia."

Liang Jia understood and put down her chopsticks. With a gentle smile on her face, she walked up to Zhou Xing Chen, took off his clothes, and hung them on the rack. "Xing Chen, let's eat first. I'll go get some more."

She could still smile so softly, Zhou Xing Chen thought gloomily. It seemed like she really didn't care about him at all. Thinking of this, he said coldly, "There's no need to trouble yourself."

As he spoke, he turned around and returned to his room.

Liang Jia stared blankly for a moment, then sat down at the dining table again. Liang Wenrui ruthlessly cursed, "Trash!"

Liang Jia felt a little like crying. In the end, she changed her expression to an indifferent and obedient one in order to avoid causing more trouble.

The next day.

As expected, the news of the engagement appeared in the headlines of every major magazine.

Liang Wenrui was furious. He immediately locked himself in his room and closed the door.

As expected, Zhou Xing Chen kept his promise. In the afternoon, Xia Qin'er stood happily in the Zhou Mansion's living room.

She followed Zhou Xing Chen into the room and sat on the sofa. She bought large and small bags of items to give to Liang Wenrui. With a face full of apprehension, she said, "Does Auntie not like it?"

Zhou Xing Chen patted her hand in consolation. "No, who wouldn't like you?"

Xia Xin'er snuggled into Zhou Xing Chen's embrace.

She gave a dignified and gentle smile and slightly raised her chin, looking down on her. "Miss Xia, based on my age, I'm slightly older than you. How did you call me younger sister?" She sneered. "If Miss Xia thinks that I've offended you in some way and is unwilling to call me Sister Liang, then you can also call me Miss Liang."

Looking at her haughty appearance, Xia Qin'er was not unhappy at all. She had clearly lost Zhou Weiqing, and had won on her own. It was clear that Liang Jia was nothing at all.

"I've long heard that Miss Liang grew up with Xing Chen, and that she is the future Mrs. Zhou. I didn't want to take up too much of a role in this. I thought that if Xing Chen was willing, I'd call you sister, but Miss Liang wasn't."

As she spoke, her voice grew softer and softer. At first, she wanted to say that she was a child's bride, but when she noticed Zhou Xing Chen's unfriendly expression, she decided to say that he was referring to Madame Zhou instead. She, Liang Jia, was no Madame Zhou after all.

Liang Jia's face paled a little. She couldn't help but feel flames in her heart. What Xia Qin'er had said was no more than mocking herself. Since she was young, she had lived the life of someone else. Now, even that little bit of usefulness had been lost …

Liang Jia still maintained her smile, but she didn't want to continue interacting with Xia Qin'er here. Glancing at her, she turned around and walked up the stairs, saying, "Mmm, the name 'Miss Liang' is very useful to me. There's no need to change it."

These words were spoken with an approving tone, stopping Xia Qin'er. She still had yet to refute, but she had already left.

Zhou Xing Chen frowned. He felt that Xia Qin'er was purposely angering Liang Jia, and that her words were too excessive. When Liang Jia left just now, his expression was strange. He wanted to get up to take a look, but Xia Qin'er stopped him.

An uneasy look appeared on Xia Qin'er's face as she said nervously, "Xing Chen, come with me to see aunty."

Zhou Xing Chen looked up the stairs, then back at Xia Qin'er. Finally, he nodded and said, "Alright, come with me."

Outside Liang Wenrui's bedroom door.

Zhou Xing Chen knocked on the door. "Mom."

"Enter." Liang Wenrui's voice was calm and indifferent. It was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry.

Zhou Xing Chen brought Xia Qin'er inside. When Liang Wenrui saw her, he rolled his eyes and coldly said, "What are you doing here? Get out of here!"

Zhou Xing Chen was about to speak, but he was held back by Xia Qin'er. She stepped forward, half-squatting and half-kneeling in front of Liang Wenrui, tears filling her large eyes. "Aunty, I'm sorry, I know you don't like me, but I've already betrothed Xing Chen to me in private. You're uncomfortable, but don't blame Xing Chen, it's all my fault."

Liang Wenrui let out a heavy snort.

Large tears rolled down Xia Qin'er's face. Her voice was choked with sobs. "I know that Big Sister Liang was raised by you. I can't compare to her, but I will do my best to show you filial piety."

Afterwards, Xia Qin'er spoke a few more things, which Liang Wenrui listened to indifferently. She only thought of Liang Jia and was incredibly disappointed. She had raised a person for so long, and she had put in so much effort to raise him, but in the end, he was nothing.

Liang Wenrui lowered his head and looked at Xia Qin'er, who was crouching in front of his knees. She was similarly beautiful, but with an extra touch of gentleness and loveliness …

"Get up."

Xia Qin'er blinked and stood up. Liang Wenrui patted the chair beside her, indicating that she should sit.

After they sat down, Liang Wenrui indifferently said, "Since you are all engaged now, then this matter is certain. If there are any changes, two businesses will be affected." As she spoke to here, she glanced at Zhou Xing Chen, who raised an eyebrow in acceptance.

She continued, "Since it's like this, it's useless for me to oppose it. However, it doesn't mean that I have to admit that you're the wife of the Zhou family. Everything will depend on your performance in the future."

"Hm!" Mom, I won't let you down! " Xia Qin'er was very well-behaved. She didn't even bother to call her mother, just calling her "mother" in such a natural manner.

Liang Wenrui glanced at her and actually had no intention of refuting. He allowed her to call out.

Xia Qin'er went downstairs and handed everything she had bought back to Liang Wenrui. Liang Wenrui's prejudice against her seemed to be slowly being broken down.

As they withdrew from Liang Wenrui's room, Xia Qin'er pressed her hand to her heart and said, "Mom. Is this considered accepting me? "

The corner of Zhou Xing Chen's lips curved upwards as he placed a kiss on her smooth white forehead. "Mm, yes, my fiancee."
