Song Xing Xing and Lu Xun ended up heading to Y City on a flight before Lu Xun's parents are going to arrive in Y City.
After checking in to The Orchid Hotel in Y City, the couple went out again and waited for Lu Xun's parents to show up in the arrival hall.
Fortunately, Zhen Wen Yu had mentioned her flight number and arrival time. It was not hard for them to find out when would they arrive in Y City.
Song Xing Xing stood on tiptoed and stretched up her neck to look for her parents-in-law. After looking for them for a while, she finally spotted the couple walking out from the arrival hall.
"Mom! Dad!" Waving her hands, Song Xing Xing escaped from Lu Xun and jogged over to the couple.
Zhen Wen Yu's looked at the young couple in surprise. A few seconds later, her face bloomed with a smile. "Xing Xing, why are you here as well?"
"You said that you are coming to visit my parents. Of course, we have to come over as well."
A light sigh escaped her. Zhou Wen Yu shot the girl a helpless smile. She gave her a look over and frowned. "Xing Xing, let Mom look at you. Why are you getting thinner than the last time I saw you?"
Zhen Wen Yu thought about the rumor that has been circulating on the internet for days and become unhappy. She turned to her son with a displeased look on her face. "Lu Xun, why didn't you look after Xing Xing properly. You see... Because you were so slow at taking action, Xing Xing had to suffer and had lost some weight. Those people were terrible. They don't know anything, yet, they scolded her mercilessly. And you, what did you do?"
Lu Xun was suddenly scolded and did not know what he should feel about it.
It was good that her mother had a good relationship with Xing Xing. However... he was still his mother's son, right?
Song Xing Xing saw the helpless look on Lu Xun's face and giggled. She was enjoying the feeling of being protected by her mother-in-law and did not attempt to save Lu Xun.
Seeing that his mother did not stop nagging him, Lu Xun felt an incoming headache. Before his mother could continue for a while longer, Lu Xun stopped her quickly.
"Mom, Dad, the two of you must be tired after a long flight. Let's go back to the hotel first."
"No. You listen to me first."
Worried that her mother-in-law was going to continue, Song Xing Xing tugged at her arms and smiled. "Mom, Lu Xun is right. Let's head back to the hotel first. Whatever it is, it was not suitable for us to discuss here."
Zhen Wen Yu raised her head and noticed that there were a few onlookers.
Because Shi An Na had released Song Xing Xing's photo on the internet, there were a few people who could recognize her even though she was wearing her mask. Moreover, she was now with Lu Xun.
"Right. Let's go somewhere else and discuss." Zhen Wen Yu agreed. She looked at Song Xing Xing and spoke, "But Mom and Dad had already decided to go and meet your parents first before going to the hotel."
At the side, Lu Xun's father, Lu Jiang quickly agreed. "Your mom is right. Xing Xing, this time, Lu Xun had wronged you. As his parents, we have failed to teach him properly. Of course, we will have to apologize to your parents quickly. This was the only way for us to show our sincerity."
Zhen Wen Yu looked at her daughter-in-law hesitant expression and all of a sudden, a few thoughts came to her mind.
"Xing Xing, could it be that your parents were mad at Lu Xun's slow action and did not want to meet us?" As she spoke those words, Zhen Wen Yu could feel her heartbeat accelerate.
She could not help but wonder what if it was too late for her to help Lu Xun to make everything straight?
What if Song Xing Xing's parents won't agree for their daughter to marry their son?
What was she supposed to do then?
Will she really lose her daughter-in-law?
Zhen Wen Yu was getting restless.
"Mom, it's not like that," Song Xing Xing quickly spoke out. She held her mother-in-law's hand and continued. "I already told my parents that you were coming to meet them. They knew that you are here."
"They knew?"
"Un." Song Xing Xing nodded. "They wanted to welcome you and let me bring you and Dad over to our house tomorrow for lunch. It was rare for the two of you to come over. Of course, they wanted to make some preparation as well."
Hearing her words, Zhen Wen Yu let out a relieved sigh.
As long as Xing Xing spoke for them, they would still have their chance, right?
"Tomorrow?" Zhen Wen Yu frowned. Won't tomorrow be too late?
"It won't be too late. Did both of you forget about the time difference again?" Lu Xun asked. "It's a couple of hours before midnight. Are you planning to head over to Xing Xing's parents' house in the middle of the night?"
It was then that Zhen Wen Yu remember. Previously, she was too anxious to help her son that she had forgotten that it was almost midnight.
If they decided to visit Song Xing Xing's parents at this hour, it would be inappropriate right? Everyone was heading to bed to rest and it would be rude for them to show up at this hour.
"Mom, Dad, the two of you should be tired after a long flight," Song Xing Xin spoke. Her tone was soft and coaxing. "Let's go back to the hotel and rest first."
Zhen Wen Yu suddenly realized that she was indeed a little tired after the long flight. Fortunately, she will still have a few hours to sleep before they were going to meet Xing Xing's parents.
"We have already talked to the hotel and let them prepare some food for you. I'm sure that you could not eat that much during your flight." Song Xing Xing said.
Zhen Wen Yu indeed did not have much appetite during the flight. Her mind was preoccupied with the trouble that her son had caused and she could not stop worrying, It was now that she realized that she was starving.
The expression on her face turned gentle. "Alright. Alright. Xing Xing, I'll listen to your arrangement." Zhen Wen Yu patted at Song Xing Xing's hand softly.. Her heart warmed as she looked at her considerate daughter-in-law.
