Secret Marriage: Reborn as A Beautiful Model Student

Chapter 268: A Gift of Love (2)

“Ooh. I am very curious as well. Where will you be taking Tianxin? Do you want to bring me along?”

Li Xingchen heard her younger brother talking to Ye Tianxin when she pushed the door open and entered the room. She could not help but tease him.

“Sis, aren’t you supposed to be at work?” Li Qingcang replied.

Li Xingchen handed the paper bag to Li Qingcang and bragged, “I’m here to deliver stuff for Tianxin. Alright, off you go. Head out before traffic gets worse.”

After Li Xingchen got Li Qingcang and Ye Tianxin to leave, she went upstairs and knocked on Wu Tong’s door gently.

“Mom, can I come in?”

Wu Tong replied sternly, “Come in.”

Li Xingchen could feel the tense atmosphere in the room the moment she walked in.

She reached out and pulled open the curtains a bit. Sunlight streamed into the room, bringing a ray of light into the lifeless room. Then she turned to face her mother, whose serious expression worried her.

“Xingchen, if you are here to persuade me, you’re just wasting your time,” Wu Tong declared, sensing why Xingchen came.

Li Xingcheng crossed her arms and said, “Mom, you haven’t said anything to Ye Tianxin yet, have you?”

“I didn’t want to say anything, but do you know what that girl said? That girl asked me to give her two years. She said by then, she will be worthy of your younger brother. No one would ever say that to someone’s mother. Have you ever met such an arrogant girl?”

Li Xingcheng’s eyes widened. No wonder Ye Tianxin’s expression was a bit off when she had entered the house.

So this was what had happened...

“Mom, what you have done doesn’t suit your status nor disposition,” Xingchen reasoned.

“Xingchen, you aren’t on that girl’s side, are you?” Wu Tong’s tone was serious. “To tell the truth, what if I give that girl two years? Will she grow to become an outstanding woman? Furthermore, in another two years, your younger brother will be 28 years old.”

Li Xingchen had always thought that her mother was an exceptional woman.

There would not be any problems between her mother and her younger brother’s wife.

However, she only understood then that every mother would think that their son was exceptional.

Any woman who wanted to become their daughter-in-law would have to accept being picked at.

Yes, perhaps to everyone right now, Ye Tianxin was not a good match for her younger brother. However, that did not mean this would remain the case forever.

Ye Tianxin was like an unpolished gem.

Time could help her improve.

Someday, she would shine on her own.

“Mom, find a time to explain yourself to Tianxin,” Xichen suggested. “Tianxin is a good girl, and she is also very kind and filial. The important thing is that my younger brother likes her. Have you ever seen your son treating a woman other than the two of us with such gentleness? My younger brother used to be colder than winter. But now, there is some warmth to him.”

Wu Tong finally understood why her daughter had come home so early. She had not come to deliver things to Ye Tianxin. She had come home to persuade her mother to accept Ye Tianxin.

“Li Xingchen, why don’t you want good things to happen to your younger brother?”

Li Xingchen’s eyes widened, and she let her hands down. She spoke seriously, “Mom, I am just laying out the facts for you. I don’t want you to be an annoying and vicious mother-in-law in the future. You will just get angry when my younger brother protects Tianxin from you then. Also, you were wrong to have done that in the first place. No matter what Tianxin’s attitude is, you should treat her politely. She saved your son’s life. Without her, would Qingcang still be around? Consider it, Mom.”
