I Became the Mother of His Child-Chapter 513: Scowled at Her
"Dad…" Song Chenxi cried out in shock, a flash of fear in her eyes.
She had grown accustomed to Song Yuanhuan's gentle temperament at home. This man, whom she remembered as tall and handsome with a sense of responsibility, never raised his voice at home. He might occasionally discipline his two brothers, but he never showed anger towards her. Even if she acted willfully, made mistakes, or was mischievous and upset Xu Xiuxiu, he could never bear to shout at her. Instead, he would use all means to coax Xu Xiuxiu. Hence, Song Chenxi never knew that her father could also have such an imposing side, even becoming fiercely intimidating when angry.
The oppressive presence unique to those in power was so overwhelming it could force one to lower their head.
"Get out, you brat, get out of my house right now," Song Yuanhuan continued, raising his hand and with a smack, he struck the mahogany coffee table again, his eyes reddening with anger.
Here was a father, who had doted on his little princess for years, thinking his daughter could still stay by his side for another decade or so. Suddenly, he discovered that his daughter, whom he treasured and delicately cared for, had been deceived by an outsider, a scoundrel of a boy. At that moment, his heart was exceedingly heavy, and he couldn't help but want to explode in anger.
"Dad, please don't be like this," Song Chenxi pleaded, her voice filled with helplessness. Then, she turned her gaze toward Xu Xiuxiu with an expression pleading for help. As a perceptive daughter, she knew well that in this household, the only person who could calm her father, Song Yuanhuan, was her mother, Xu Xiuxiu.
At this moment, she had no choice but to send a signal for help to Xu Xiuxiu.
Xu Xiuxiu looked amusingly at her furious husband and then at her daughter seeking help. She then glanced at Zhao Nan, sitting immovable on the sofa like a mountain, feeling a bit sentimental. Fate is truly strange. Little Baby, that girl who once wore split pants, was seen by Zhao Nan, who even held her when she was little. Now, unexpectedly, these two, whom she never imagined would come together, had become husband and wife. Isn't fate amazing?
"Alright, just talk, no need to get so angry!" Xu Xiuxiu said indifferently, sitting by the sofa. She glanced at the exceptionally anxious Song Yuanhuan and spoke without a hint of warmth. Her own second son was already in a relationship, and he was so happy, even boasting that Song Chenhao had taken after him and was very promising. So why was it that when it came to his daughter, he became so unsettled, even treating Zhao Nan as if he were an enemy?
"I'm not angry," Song Yuanhuan replied furiously to Xu Xiuxiu, raising his voice a bit.
Not angry? Song Yuanhuan was really stubborn!
"…" Xu Xiuxiu thought, helplessly twitching her lips. Not calm yet claims he's not angry? Even speaking loudly to her? Xu Xiuxiu rolled her eyes, unimpressed, but she had no intention of arguing stubbornly with Song Yuanhuan about this. She knew well how extreme her husband's 'daughter complex' was. Not just Song Yuanhuan as a father, but if the other two men in the house knew that their beloved sister had already married and registered, they probably would wreak havoc.
Daughter-complex, sister-complex; truly headache-inducing and perplexing traits.
"Zhao Nan, it's been two years since we last met, right? You seem to have matured a bit," Xu Xiuxiu said as an elder. Even though she looked younger than other women her age, she was still a senior to Zhao Nan. While speaking to him now, she naturally carried an elder's sentimentality in her voice, devoid of much fluctuation.
In this regard, Xu Xiuxiu had to admit, her acceptance was really strong. Zhao Nan, sitting in front of her, was no longer that little boy, but her son-in-law!
"Yes! How have you been these past two years?" Zhao Nan politely continued the conversation, taking the opportunity to show concern for Xu Xiuxiu. He had always held this kind-hearted elder in his heart.
"She's fine, and she doesn't need your concern, you rabbit offspring!" Song Yuanhuan roared again. It was clear that the father-in-law could never see the son-in-law in a good light, even with Xu Xiuxiu sitting there trying to mediate.
"Keep quiet. If you're really that upset, go back to the kitchen and continue what you were doing before." Seeing Song Yuanhuan acting like a petulant child, Xu Xiuxiu spoke sternly to send him away.
It was really tough being a mother, dealing with a boy who had married her daughter. She felt it was necessary to have a serious talk with him, but Song Yuanhuan's attitude made it impossible to have a proper conversation!
"..." Song Yuanhuan clearly felt rejected, but he couldn't bear to leave at that moment. He had to have a serious talk with that lousy kid; he couldn't just let him trick his daughter and get away scot-free.
Thinking this, Song Yuanhuan tried to calm himself and then sat silently to one side.
Seeing this, Song Chenxi breathed a sigh of relief and then secretly winked at Xu Xiuxiu. Xu Xiuxiu then smiled and looked at Zhao Nan, "How did you and Chen Xi meet?"
Xu Xiuxiu was actually quite curious about how the two had met, since one lived in Z city and the other in Imperial City. The two had barely seen each other as they grew older. Occasionally, Chen Xi would stay in Z city for a few days, but realistically, they had hardly any chance to meet.
And yet, these two people, with no connections whatsoever, suddenly got married? Wasn't that incredibly unbelievable?
"We met in Z city," Zhao Nan answered truthfully.
"When?" Xu Xiuxiu continued to inquire with curiosity.
"Ten days ago," Zhao Nan estimated the time and then shared it without hiding anything.
"What? Just ten days? You little rascal, did you really trick my daughter away in just ten days?" Song Yuanhuan had been listening intently, and upon hearing Zhao Nan say ten days, he lost his composure completely. He had been thinking that if this kid had pursued his daughter arduously, as a man, he would understand the difficulties of another man and would have given him a break since they were already married. After all, even though he, Song Yuanhuan, held a high position, he couldn't break up a military marriage, something he was well aware of.
But hearing that this kid spent just ten days to trick his pampered daughter, Song Yuanhuan was furious!
"Speak! Did you, young man, feed my daughter some sort of love potion? Zhao Nan, I'm telling you, this is marriage fraud. This marriage certificate doesn't count; I won't recognize it. And you, tricking my daughter at your age, I absolutely won't let you get away with it..." Song Yuanhuan pointed furiously at Zhao Nan's nose and roared, his eyes bulging as if he wanted to tear Zhao Nan apart.
