Chapter 1411: Mr. Jiang Is Here
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Xi Xi bit her lips tightly and rubbed her temples as though she was deep in thought. She finally answered, “He would learn how to cook my favorite dishes and would give me presents on important occasions. He would also look after me throughout the night whenever I’m sick with a cold or feel unwell.”
Xi Xi spoke frankly; she had been willing to date Jiang Cheng because he made her feel safe and secure.
“Is that all?” He Xiyan asked.
He Xiyan couldn’t figure out what her daughter was thinking. She could tell that her daughter was very touched by Jiang Cheng’s actions but didn’t all couples start off that way? They would fawn over each other at the start of their relationship but this initial infatuation may not last a few years later.
Xi Xi turned and looked at her mother in confusion.
“Doesn’t this prove that he treats me well?” she asked.
She didn’t understand what her mother meant by that.
He Xiyan took a deep breath, but she didn’t verbalize her thoughts.
After listening to her daughter, she couldn’t tell whether Jiang Cheng was sincere about her daughter. He probably liked her but it was too early to tell whether Jiang Cheng was in love with Xi Xi.
Although they had known each other for a long time, Xi Xi and Jiang Cheng’s relationship had not been tested nor had they weathered through a storm together. He Xiyan didn’t think that this relationship would last very long.
She was about to continue the conversation when a maid named Liu Lin knocked softly against the wooden door that led to the dining hall.
“Missus, Mr. Jiang is here,” she said.
He Xiyan frowned and an inscrutable look flashed past her face. She rose to her feet and waved Liu Lin off.
“Please usher him to the living room. I’ll be there shortly,” she said.
Xi Xi tugged on her mother’s hand.
“Mom…” she said with a look of warning.
He Xiyan sighed and pulled her daughter’s hand off her’s.
“Don’t worry, I’m not going to make things hard for him,” she said. She had already guessed what her daughter was going to tell her.
She stuffed her phone into her pocket, walked out of the dining hall, and headed to the living room on the first floor.
She saw a figure in black from afar. Jiang Cheng stood in front of the windows with one hand in his pocket and the other against the windowpane. He stared out of the windows and no one knew what he was thinking about.
She didn’t rush to enter the living room. Instead, she stood at the doorway and examined this young man who seemed like a stranger to her.
For some reason, she felt as though she couldn’t see through him.
Jiang Cheng might be a young man who was only 24 years old just like her son Mo Ling, but he seemed very mature in comparison. He seemed way more mature compared to his peers.
Jiang Cheng turned at the sound of footsteps and his gaze softened when he saw that it was He Xiyan and his lips curved into a small smile.
He quickly walked over and greeted her politely.
“Hello, Auntie.”
He Xiyan nodded in acknowledgment.
She felt so confused and frustrated that she wasn’t in the mood to exchange pleasantries with her daughter’s boyfriend.
She gestured for him to sit on the sofa.
“I’m sure you’ve heard the news, right?” she said as she went straight to the point.
Jiang Cheng took a seat and looked at the middle-aged woman in front of him who was soon going to be his mother-in-law.
“Auntie, I’m really sorry for making you worry. This was my fault. Please don’t blame Xi Xi,” he said.
