Chapter 583: Surrender
Translator: Lonelytree
Jing Tian introduced us, “This is Auntie Zhi.”
I went up to greet her, “Hello, Auntie Zhi.”
Seniority was a problem for the three of us due to the complexity of our background.
Xiao Zhi’s smile carried a sadness that I couldn’t help but pity. “Hello. Oh, what beautiful girls. Jing Tian, your friends are all so beautiful!”
She exclaimed in surprise. She pulled each of our hands together and stopped at my side. “You must be Nanxing! You are so nice and so beautiful. Ah Lan is so lucky to have such a beautiful daughter-in-law.”
Iwas slightly taken aback.
Wasn’t she supposed to pamper her stepdaughter endlessly? Shouldn’t she hate me? How come I didn’t feel any hostility?
I looked at Jing Ni and Mai Qi with uncertainty. They responded to my confusion with their eyes.
I replied politely, “You flatter me.”
She held my hand tightly. “No wonder our Jing Tian is unmoved by any girl. He already has you in his heart.”
She looked at Jing Tian like a gentle mother.
Jing Tian had a gentle expression on his face. “Auntie Zhi, you only invited Nanxing, but I brought all my friends over. Do you mind?”
Xiao Zhi scolded him with a smile, “Kid, you always create problems for me!” Then, she turned to us and said, “I didn’t know that Jing Tian has so many friends, so I only invited Nanxing. Please forgive me.”
Mai Qi smiled. “We are the ones who should ask for forgiveness to impose on you like this. Nanxing is still recovering, so we’re worried about her going anywhere alone.”
At the mention of my health, Xiao Zhi’s expression darkened. “It’s all my fault. I can’t control the little tyrant at home. She’s already so old, and she’s still causing trouble everywhere.!”
She sighed softly.
She had such beauty, such politeness, and such self-recrimination. I suddenly understood why she could help Angel settle everything.
No one could resist such a sincere apology.
Jing Tian frowned. “Auntie Zhi, you can’t always go around cleaning up her mess like this!”
Xiao Zhi waved her hand with a smile. “No, no. She’s grown up. She had improved a lot compared to when she was younger. Jing Tian, I’m already very satisfied now.”
Her attitude was very sincere.
The sincerity made me feel soft-hearted.
She turned around and said to me sincerely, “Nanxing, I’m sorry. It’s all Auntie Zhi’s fault for not being able to control the child properly. Can you forgive her?
“Ever since Angel saw Jing Tian, she said she liked him and wanted to marry him. We were used to obliging to her every request. But this time, I won’t. Even if you’re not here, I won’t let her do this. Jing Tian is my sister’s only child. I won’t force him into marriage. If Jing Tian likes Angel, then that’s a
different matter. But if he doesn’t like her, how can I force him? He’s not an object to be pushed around. Right, Nanxing?”
Her beautiful face had a hint of sadness, and that expression made my heart soften.
But deep down, I felt like something was wrong, and I couldn’t tell what.
Suddenly, Ma Ji’s face appeared in my mind, and my hand trembled as I tried to pull it out of Xiao Zhi’s palm.
